Chapter 102 Eighteen. Dead Wife

   "Can I go in and talk?"

   The frenzied shouting of the youth attracted the attention of some passersby who occasionally passed by, and they curiously looked in front of the house under the rain curtain.

   "No, you hurry up—"

"OK, thanks."

   Lu Li ignored the opponent's refusal, forced the young man to enter the entrance, and closed the door smoothly.

  咣——

  The door was closed, and the young man stepped back nervously holding a wooden stick, as nervous as a mental illness.

   "Don't be nervous, Mr. Terrance, we're just here to get some information."

   Lu Li said, his eyes swept across the room.

  The house has only one floor, it is an ordinary three-bedroom and one-hall. A study and two bedrooms, the living room's window faces west, with its back to the port. The smell of inferior disinfectant was stronger than that in the hospital, almost choking the nose, as if it was covering up something.

   The floor and sofa furniture are spotless, and there is a water-soaked mop on the side.

  Trance seems to have serious cleanliness, but the information given by Valentine did not say this.

   "You..." Trance's eyes flashed with vigilance, he noticed that Lu Li was talking about a quantifier, and turned his head to look for it, as if there was another person in the room.

   Although it is true.

   "And my colleague, he didn't come in outside." Terence's delusional behavior made Lu Li frown.

  Lu Li walked to the sofa and sat down. This behavior may make the other party nervous, but it can make the other party realize that he is harmless: "Okay, Mr. Terrance, please sit down, I have some questions to ask you."

   "Didn't you guys come to ask the other day?"

  Trance finally believed Lu Li's words a little bit. He walked around the sofa and sat down opposite Lu Li.

The    wooden stick was tightly grasped in his hand, and the whole person showed a posture of extreme vigilance against the surrounding.

   Naturally, there is no tea for the guests.

"This time it's a new problem." Lu Li said, staring into Terrance's eyes, his voice was slow and low: "I noticed just outside the door that you seem to be afraid that we will find your wife, can you tell me the reason, or... "

   His black eyes narrowed slightly.

   "Your wife Shelley's disappearance is related to you."

  Shelley, O'Connor's new name, or the new body he took after abandoning Luke's body, which was no longer usable.

   She went missing yesterday and was reported by a neighbor today. So Lu Li came over and noticed the suspicious husband who was behaving strangely.

   Now it seems that the husband is very suspicious.

   "It's not that I don't have it!" The name seemed to evoke fear in Terrance, his eyes were red, and he roared with trembling: "I know the truth, but you police won't believe it!"

Lu Li's expression remained unchanged, and he leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, his face calm: "Wait until you say it or not. After all, based on what I've seen so far, you are very suspicious no matter what. For example, you The remarks just now can be regarded as worrying about the police finding her, for example, cleaning the house can be regarded as eliminating clues.”

   "It's really not me! She's already dead! The last time she came back—" The shouting stopped abruptly, and Terrance suddenly stopped, slumped back to the sofa with a gray face, and returned to his taciturn appearance.

   Already dead?

   This sentence means a lot to Lu Li's ears, he asked: "If you mean unexplainable weirdness, you can tell me."

   "What?" Terrance raised his head blankly.

   Lu Li secretly guided him: "For example, a supernatural event."

  Tronstone stared at Lu Li with red eyes, and realized something: "Who the **** are you?!"

   "I introduced myself just now." Lu Li replied expressionlessly.

  Trance stepped his head between his legs and whispered, "You would think I'm a lunatic..."

   "If you're worried about anything, I promise you won't say it."

  Lu Li tilted his head and looked at the space where Anna might be.

  Anna nodded, regardless of whether Lu Li would see it or not, she floated into other rooms to search for clues.

   "Okay...I tell you..."

  Trance slowly raised his head, revealing that extremely haggard face.

   No one believes that he is 26 years old this year.

   "My wife and I work for Root Bank, where we met and fell in love. We bought this house together... We wanted to have another child and stay with each other until we grow old..."

  Ana floated from the bedroom and shook her head at Lu Li.

  In the study and bedroom everything was normal, nothing was wrong - if not overly clean.

  Trance was still talking in a low voice.

  Being a husband and wife living together for a period of time may not be as exciting as the initial passion, but it is very warm. Shelley was temporarily missing until a few days ago.

   She disappeared for a long time without any news of her, and then reappeared in front of Terrance when he was starting to get nervous, dispelling his doubts.

   "Wait, you mean, she disappeared a few days ago?" Lu Li frowned slightly. "Do you remember the exact time?"

   "In the morning... around 11 o'clock?"

   "I mean date."

   "About six days ago."

  Lu Li finally knew where the problem was.

The intelligence provided by Deputy Sheriff Valentine is actually Shelley's second disappearance. The truth is that she disappeared briefly six days ago - but because Trance did not call the police immediately, and Shelley quickly disappeared. When they returned, the police had no news.

  According to the time, the day Shelley disappeared for the first time happened to be the second day after Lu Li contacted Deputy Sheriff Valentine.

   In other words, long after the first disappearance... it was not her wife who came back.

   It was a chaotic soul with all the memories of O'Connor, Ruby, and Shelley.

   The smell of disinfectant in the room was explained by Terrance's strange smell. The former was covering up the rotten smell, while the latter was frightened.

  Lu Li shook his head lightly, a step slower...

   This is a problem caused by insufficient information. Lu Li thought this was the second person O'Connor attacked, but in fact O'Connor had left the rotten Shirley and was now looking for a new victim.

   may have found it.

   "I found out later...my wife...she was actually dead...it was her body that came back that day."

  Trance hugged his head in pain.

Of course   Lu Li knew this, but he still said, "How do you know?"

   "Do living people have corpse spots?" Terrance smiled bitterly.

  …

   "Call... call..."

  Trance rolled over onto the bed panting heavily, his chest heaving.

   The wife next to her got up stiffly and walked to the bathroom without a trace.

   This was interpreted by Terrance as having no strength. He leaned against the head of the bed and was about to make a joke at Shelley's back when he suddenly saw a large black and cyan spot covering Shelley's back.

  Shelley seemed a little itchy, and reached out and scratched his back.

  The nails scratched the skin on the back, and the skin was easily melted away as if it was separated from the flesh, revealing the subcutaneous fat and the thick fuzzy flesh.

  Trance rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he opened them again, his wife had already got into the bathroom.
