Soon, the door opened.
A woman in an apron stood inside the door. She was about 40 years old and had some freckles on her face. She seemed to have been cooking before, and her hands were greasy.
After wiping her hands on her apron, the woman showed a mischievous smile: "Please come in, the building has been in turmoil recently, and everyone is more careful."
"It's okay." Chen Xue smiled like a business official, and the two walked in.
The woman brought two cups of boiled water and put them on the coffee table, and asked: "What happened? There are only me and my son at home, it should have nothing to do with us."
"Your son? Can you call him out?" Chen Xue seemed to have thought of something.
"My son is only eight years old, it's impossible for him to do anything bad, right?" The woman looked a little ugly.
"Don't get me wrong, sister, every family is like this. Everyone in the family needs to register to confirm whether there are any outsiders." Chen Xue made up a reason casually.
The woman nodded and went to lie on her side.
As she left, Chen Xue looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression: "I used my police station ID to ask the residents in the building before, and found that in addition to Zhang Meimei, there is another strange person in this building."
"Many people have seen a little boy who often squats in the shadow of the corridor and eats with his back to others."
Jiang Chen's eyes moved, and he remembered the "friend" mentioned by the little girl before.
"And I also learned from the nearby police station that the previous three victims had different degrees of missing hands, feet, internal organs and other parts." Chen Xue said again.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
The previous victim of 502 only had facial injuries, but his body was intact. The characteristic of the disfigured ghost's killing is that it only cuts the face.
This shows that there is something else that cut off the limbs of those corpses.
"Sorry, Yangyang is too shy, why don't you go to his room to ask?" The woman walked out of the side bedroom and said apologetically.
"Okay." Chen Xue nodded.
"Then I'll go cook first. You two have worked hard. Let's have dinner here later, shall we?" The woman walked to the kitchen.
Jiang Chen and Chen Xue went to lie on their sides.
A little boy was lying on the table writing and drawing. His face was very pale, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time, and there was a faint stench in his mouth.
Chen Xue winked at Jiang Chen and told him to be careful. She was almost certain that the little boy was the ghost who attacked him.
Jiang Chen's eyes focused on his demonic power, and he saw that there were indeed wisps of black resentment coming out of the little boy.
However, he had tried it outside before. Almost all places on the fifth and sixth floors of this building had such resentment. He turned his head to see Chen Xue and saw the same effect.
The demonic power could not help him directly identify a ghost who wanted to disguise himself.
"Little friend, have you been in the room just now?" Chen Xue tried to ask. She also had no way to identify the ghost now, so she could only guide the other party to reveal the flaws.
However, the other party only looked up at her, then lowered his head and said nothing.
"We are your mother's friends, you don't have to be afraid." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Who knew that when this sentence came out, the little boy suddenly looked up and stared at him, and said seriously: "Are you talking about the woman outside? She is not my mother."
This made Jiang Chen and Chen Xue stunned.
"No, there is a family photo of three people outside, and it is clearly that woman and this child. Is he trying to confuse us?" Chen Xue whispered.
Jiang Chen nodded. He also saw the family photo, but at this moment his eyes were a little deep, and he deliberately asked: "Little friend, are you saying this deliberately because you have a conflict with your mother?"
"No, she used to be my mother." The little boy's expression was surprisingly serious: "One night, my mother was washing her hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom. When my father went over, she suddenly raised her head and asked my father to help her peel an apple."
"My father went to get a knife and an apple after hearing this, and I was watching TV on the sofa."
"I didn't dare to tell my father that only the mother in the mirror raised her head. The real mother neither raised her head nor said that she wanted to eat an apple."
"What?" Chen Xue was stunned.
Jiang Chen's eyes moved. The woman's behavior before was actually very abnormal. There was a fight downstairs, but she didn't ask after the two came in. She didn't seem to be curious at all.
"My father has a habit of peeling apples. He peels them all the way through. He succeeded that night." The little boy continued.
"After peeling the apple, he handed it over. This time, the mother outside the mirror turned her head to take the apple, while the mother in the mirror kept washing her hair."
Hearing this, Chen Xue's face changed.
"I didn't dare to say anything, because my father didn't seem to notice anything unusual, so two days later, my father disappeared. That noon, my mother cooked a lot of meat dishes, but I didn't dare to eat a bite."
"After that, my mother sometimes went out.I went to the trash can downstairs and bought a lot of meat, but I never dared to eat her dishes again. "
"When I was hungry, I would go to the trash can downstairs to pick up food, eat secretly in the corridor before going home, and sometimes Liu Xiaoyao from 402 would share some food with me."
"My mother seemed to know my behavior, but she never cared, and still cooked a lot of meat dishes every time."
After listening to the little boy's words, Chen Xue pulled Jiang Chen aside.
"What do you think?"
"He should not be lying." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "I have heard of an urban legend. At twelve o'clock in the morning, if you peel an apple completely in front of a mirror, as long as the skin is not broken, you can see the mirror ghost."
"And if it is not done properly, the mirror ghost will occupy the person's body and rob him of his life!"
"The soul of that person will be sealed in the mirror for life."
"I have heard of this saying too." Chen Xue nodded.
"But we have to confirm it. "Jiang Chen took her out and came to the bathroom of this house. What made their pupils shrink was that they could vaguely see the glue marks of the mirror on the wall, but the mirror was gone.
The two of them instantly confirmed their inner guesses.
Because this is also part of the mirror ghost story.
In order to prevent the soul of the occupied person from coming back, it will smash the mirror that called out to itself!
"The meal is ready, Yangyang! Two comrades from the public security station, get ready to eat." The woman brought out plates from the kitchen, with five or six dishes, all meat, which made people feel sick at a glance.
Jiang Chen and Chen Xue walked over, and the little boy also came out, but no one picked up the chopsticks.
"Haha, is it not to your appetite?" The woman smiled and seemed very enthusiastic: "Why don't you eat it? Eat it quickly."
Jiang Chen looked at the table full of dishes and sighed: "Sorry, I have high requirements for food."
The woman was stunned and smiled reluctantly: "What does this young man like to eat? I'll make it for you again. "
"High-end ingredients are often cooked in the simplest way. Sister, can you make large intestine sashimi?" Jiang Chen said.
The woman opened her mouth.
Large intestine... sashimi?
"Mirror Ghost felt nauseous, ghost energy +20. "
