Gate No. 301 investigation audio:

"I'm disturbed, I'm a reporter from Linghua Magazine in Pingling City."

"Reporter? Oh, hello, comrade reporter, come in and say."

"Thanks."

*Footsteps and door shuts*

"Comrade reporter, what are you drinking?"

"No, I'm here to ask something."

"You said, I know all the big and small things in our community!"

*Footsteps and pouring water*

"Comrade reporter, drink it, our water is so sweet."

"Thank you. Do you have any impression of the fire in 302 half a year ago?"

"Yes! Why didn't it? That day I was chatting with my partner downstairs, and I saw a large pile of black smoke coming out of the window. The thick smoke rolled in so scary!"

"Is there anyone at 302?"

"Here, you don't know. We all heard it downstairs, but it's so miserable... That girl is pretty good on weekdays and even greets us."

"You said the deceased was a woman?"

"Yes! Don't you know about the newspaper? They are all 29 years old."

【Acquiring keywords: female; 29 years old;】

"We don't know the specific situation, so we came to interview and investigate. Do you know what her profession is?"

"It seems like I'm using a computer?"

"You mean computer equipment sales?"

"No, it's just using a computer."

"What happened later?"

"Later, we went to find a few young men to help. It was too late to get in. The fire was so big that even the firefighters could not get in. They just took the stairs outside to get in."

"Can't get in? Does it mean that you can't get in through the main entrance?"

"Yes, the door lock can't be opened."

"But I went to 302 before, and the door was closed."

"The young man is so brave... It was when the police came after the fire was put out and asked someone to pry the door open before entering. It was really miserable. He was burned and knelt at the door..."

“…have they found something?”

"No, I just said something... Liquefied gas leaks. Oh, you have to be careful when you are alone at home. I am old and have a bad memory. I have to be careful when I cook..."

"Do you have a photo of Kong Nanqing?"

"Does my neighbor have that kind of thing?"

"Thank you for your cooperation with the interview. I have a few questions left here. I hope you can answer them if you are convenient."

"Comrade reporter, you said."

"After the fire, have there been any strange things or supernatural events happening next door?"

*Silence lasting for several seconds*

"…What are you asking about this?"

"There is a section of our Linghua magazine that is a supernatural..."

"Oh...I understand, I understand...or, why don't we go downstairs and talk?"

"Can."

*A murmur lasting for three minutes*

"I didn't dare to talk about it at home just now. There was indeed a haunted person. My wife and I have seen it. I don't believe it when I tell my kid."

"Can you tell me in detail?"

"Yes. Not long after the fire broke out, we can always smell a burnt smell."

"There is 302 next door. It's normal to have a burnt smell?"

"It's different. I can tell the taste outside and the taste inside. And that smell is in the living room, and there is nowhere else."

"It's indeed a bit strange to say that."

"At first we didn't think it was, but one Sunday, my daughter-in-law brought her grandson to see us. At night, she was weird. When she left the next day, she told us... Grandma, why did a black uncle sit on the sofa at night? Who are you?"

*The sound of a car passing*

"I felt cold when I heard this. It must be that girl who is back."

"What happened later?"

"I asked my daughter-in-law to send her grandson away quickly, but we didn't dare to leave. What if she came to kill someone, would she harm us or let us go. I was worried that there would be nothing for the whole night, but the smell was still there. I knew she would come. Later, there was a burnt smell in the house every few days, and we knew she was here. She did nothing and didn't speak. She just sat on the sofa in the living room. Sometimes she stayed overnight, and sometimes she left for a while. At the beginning, she always came, but after a long time, she wouldn't come. I tell you, this girl is a good person, and she is a good ghost when she dies, and she has never harmed anyone."

"Do you remember when the last time she appeared?"

"It seems... last month, right? I can't say it, we can't see her either."

"Did she rent or bought that house?"

"It's a land rent. The landlord has been unable to contact him when he goes to another place, so the house has been put on hold."

"I've finished asking, thank you for your help. If the manuscript is reviewed and approved, you will be rewarded with a certain amount of manuscript."

"Oh, that's not necessary. Just come and take a look when you have time. Let's go slowly, comrade reporter."

The investigation of Gate No. 301 ended.

Gate No. 305 Investigation Audio:

"I'm disturbed, I'm a reporter from Linghua Magazine in Pingling City."

"The newspaper? I don't think it looks like it... Why haven't I heard of a Linghua magazine here?"

"Okay, to be honest, I am Lu Lijian--"

"You are the boyfriend of that girl Kong Nanqing?"

"…I…yes, yes, I'm her boyfriend, I want to ask you something."

"Get out! You Chen Shimei has the face to come! Get out! Mom, bring me my crutch. Today I will imitate Bao Gong's stick and beat Chen Shimei!"

306 household surveys were interrupted.

Gate No. 307, 308 investigates the audio vacancies, reason: Residents refuse to accept interviews.

The investigation has come to an end.

Lu Li turned to the back page, and the last few pictures were the information Shen Qian found in the deceased's company and online, which was roughly consistent with him.

Turning to the blank space on the last page, Lu Li picked up the pen and wrote the conclusion on the file.

Analysis: After investigating the community, no resident encountered a supernatural incident. It was impossible to determine whether he was mentally conscious. He would not actively harm his neighbors, but he could not be sure whether he would be injured after contacting or entering Room 302. His ability was unknown and he would always exude a charred smell.

Putting down the pen, Lu Li silently stared at the lines of handwriting just now.

Let’s put this matter for now, and first look for other ghosts to steadily improve their strength and then look for burned ghosts. But just like we cannot predict the trajectory of life, Lu Li also cannot predict when he will get useful illustrations.

It may be the next ghost, or it may be a ghost that will be a long time later.

And there is no risk-free thing in the world, especially ghosts. According to the information collected so far, the success rate is worth a try.
