Viewing the apartment
After having to wait so long, the landlord decided to take action and confront the tenants in person. When the tenants refused to cooperate, he went into the apartment to talk to them and eventually evict them. But his knocks went unanswered, as did his phone calls. After knocking many times, he discovered that the apartment was unoccupied. He entered the apartment with the spare key. He only had to look around the apartment to realize that something very bad had happened

The cryptic note
The landlord saw a small handwritten note before deciding to use his spare key. According to the note, the reader should “ring the doorbell”. Ravaux was confused and a little frightened as he searched for the doorbell. Couldn’t they hear the knocking? He wondered why the couple had written such a strange note. Finally, he decided to try this method too, as knocking hadn’t done much good. But what he found instead of the doorbell left him speechless
