The water tank still had water in it, but it hadn't been ed in who knows how long, and the water had turned bck.
Qin Nuo repared to see a bloated corpse floating on the surface or deposed body parts dissolved into pus.
But since he could still see the bottom of the tank and there was no stench of decay in the air, Qin Nuo could clude.
The tank hadn't beeo dispose of a body.
So why did the clues point to the water tank?
"Any discoveries?" Bck Rose came over to ask.
"Nothing at all."
Qin Nuo shook his head and jumped down from the water tank.
"How that be? clues be false?" Bck Rose also leaned over, but after looking for a long time, she couldn't see anything.
Qin Nuo circled the water tank and suddenly notiumerous scratch marks under a er of the wall.
The scratches were chaotic, with dark red scabs around them, traces of blood.
Clearly, they were made by hand, and the fingers had already rotted away.
But it seemed like it had been a long time, the marks almost weathered and blurred.
"Who would be so bored to e to the rooftop and scratch the water tank, wearing down their nails?" Although Qin Nuo said this, some horrifying thoughts emerged in his mind.
Bck Rose came down as well.
Qin Nuo turned and walked towards the main door.
"Leaving already?" Bck Rose asked.
"No leads, if you want to search, do it yourself."
Although he found some suspiarks, they didn't point to any particur resident, making the clue useless to Qin Nuo.
Bck Rose could only follow him downstairs.
Ba the ground floor, Qin Nuo saw the little girl from room 402 again, carrying her small backpack upstairs, her body trembling slightly, her expression full of fear.
Qin Nuo walked down and asked, "Were you followed by that bad guy again?"
The little girl was clearly terrified, cold sweat on her forehead, nodding, "This time he even tried to grab me, but luckily a resident ohird floor came out to throw out the trash, and he ran away."
"Did you see whi he ran to?" Qin Nuo asked.
It could be firmed that even if the shadow wasn't the killer they were looking for, there was definitely something wrong with him.
"No." The little girl shook her head.
Qin Nuo stood up, ping his in thought.
Ohird floor, rooms 301, 302, and 306 could be ruled out.
So, the shadow must be a resident of one of the other three rooms.
Bck Rose also came down, g the little girl, her expression ging slightly, "What's wrong?"
Qin Nuo didn't speak, pting whether to kno each door directly.
"That guy is the resident of 305."
The wife of a family of three, Xiao Yuan's mother, stood at the door, speaking to Qin Nuo.
"Auntie, how do you know?" Qin Nuo was taken aback.
"Every time I e up with my child, that guy always opens a cra the door, staring ily at my child."
"I've seen it too, that guy almost never leaves his room, and no one has seen what he looks like."
"But he seems very ied in underage children, he smell them as soon as they pass the third-floor corridor!"
Liu Ze also came out from room 406, providing information to Qin Nuo.
"That guy's gaze is very uling, I wa him out and warn him, but he keeps his dhtly shut."
Liu Ze said, "Later, we reported it to the old man, but his response was that the guy pays rent on time every month and hasn't harmed any residents, so the report was dismissed."
"And theter was left unresolved."
The old man's words made sense.
The residents didn't want to cause trouble, so no one brought it up again.
But Qin Nuo and the others, as pyers, were different.
They didn't want to let go of a suspevolved in the main storyliask.
"Alright, I uand." Qin Nuo urning to go downstairs.
The door to room 405 also opened, and the Fat Homebody Ghost came out, holding a spiked club, saying fiercely, "Good brother, I'll help you!"
"No need, I ha myself." Qin Nuo deed, too many people would be terproductive.
Bck Rose was stunned.
Almost the entire floor of residents had e out!
Judging by the versation, these residents seemed to have a good retionship with Qin Nuo?
"It's only the third day, and he's already ected with all the residents on the fourth floor?" Bck Rose was shocked internally.
She had worked hard for three days and only mao get along well with the grandmother and granddaughter on the sed floor.
"This guy must be a diplomatic master, so good at talking?" Bck Rose thought to herself.
Deing the goodwill of the fourth-floor residents, Qin Nuo went down to the third floor.
Bck Rose quickly followed, surprised but having heard the versation clearly.
The killer was about to be exposed!
Ohird floor, Qin Nuo and Bck Rose suddenly froze.
Because ihird-floor corridor, besides the two of them, all the other pyers had gathered there.
Seeing the two of them, Bck Bear held his forehead, looking utterly defeated.
"Great, two more, everyone's here!"
"What, having a party? So lively." Qin Nuo ughed.
Cobra adjusted his gsses and said, "Since everyone's here, there's o hide anything."
"Based on the information we've all gathered from the residents, the guy in room 305 is most likely the killer we're looking for!"
"The target of this instance's main storyliask!"
Bck Rose ughed, "What a ce, we just got the clue from the residents on the fourth floor."
Jiang Xiaobai said, "Since everyone knows, there's nothing more to say."
"Let's go together and drag out the guy in 305, we'll all share the main task's rewards and ratings!"
The other pyers nodded in agreement.
Bck Bear's face darkened, but he also agreed.
He thought he was the only one who khis clue.
He was excited all night, pnning t out the killer himself and enjoy the reward alone.
In the end, fuck, everyone knew!
"Ah! So the resident of 305 is the killer, great, let's go together!"
Princess Yao Yao, a bit slow oake, finally uood the situation, happily holding her food, dang with joy.
For the past three days, she had either beeing or sleeping, oblivious to the outside world.
The task clues hadn't progressed at all.
She just heard the otion in the corridor and came out with her chips to join in, uedly getting a share!
Everyone: "..."
Cobra coughed twice, "Let's go, don't waste time!"
"Drag out that guy, split the instance reward!"
With that, the group immediately headed towards room 305.
Cobra led the way, knog on the door of room 305 a few times.
No response, no movement.
Knocked a few more times, still the same.
"What's the use of that, as if that guy would e out!"
Bck Bear pushed Cobra aside, lifted a foot, and kicked hard at the door.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
And when everyone looked ihe room, they were all stunned...
