Emerald Residences is the only three-storey apartment on the island, and the location is directly facing the center of the island, with an excellent view.

When Shui Bingyu pushed the door and came in, Sister-in-law Liu was sitting at the counter in the front hall and bowed her head to settle accounts. When she heard the sound of someone pushing the door and walking in, and when she looked up and saw that it was Shui Bingyu, she quickly walked out of the counter.

"Big sister, why are you here?" Sister-in-law Liu took Shui Bingyu's hand and greeted warmly.

"Huh, why are you here by yourself this time?" and what about your police captain?" she looked back, but she didn't see Meng Xingchen's voice and shadow, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Oh, Captain Meng can't come because of something, so I'll come by myself this time. Shui Bingyu suddenly seemed to be unable to accept Sister-in-law Liu's enthusiasm, and pulled her hand out of her hand.

"That big sister, you are here to investigate the case this time, right? Why did you think of me here? What can I do to help you, just say it!" When Sister-in-law Liu heard that only Shui Bingyu herself came, she seemed to be even more excited, and even her voice raised an octave.

While he was talking, a girl hurried down the stairs. Her face was pale and she looked panicked, and when she saw Sister-in-law Liu, she immediately shouted: "Sister-in-law Liu, hurry up and follow me to have a look!"

"What's wrong?" her appearance made Sister-in-law Liu ask nervously.

"I ...... I do not know...... I can't say. No...... If I said it, you wouldn't believe it. Come with me, you'll know when the time comes!" the girl was a little incoherent.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a student at the Kyoto Police Academy, and I'll go over with you with Sister-in-law Liu. Shui Bingyu comforted.

Under Shui Bingyu's gentle gaze, the girl gradually calmed down, nodded, and took Shui Bingyu and Sister-in-law Liu to room 208.

This room is facing the middle of the island in the middle of the lake, and when you look out of the window, there is almost no obstruction in the view, especially the "Ghost Lake", which appears in the middle of the view.

The girl took Shui Bingyu and Sister-in-law Liu into the house.

"Who?" asked a voice feebly, with a hint of horror in his tone.

Although it was daytime, the bedroom was hung with thick curtains and the light was very dim.

Shui Bingyu opened her eyes for a long time before she saw two single beds in the corner of the room. It was a woman lying on a bed by the window.

"Xiaoxue, don't be afraid. I called my sister-in-law Liu, and there was also a student from the police academy from the city. Tell them again what you saw last night. The girl said as she walked over to the bedside and turned on the lamp in the room. The dim light sprinkled down, but it added a bit of oppressive atmosphere.

The woman on the bed slowly turned her head and stared at Shui Bingyu with wide eyes. It can be seen that he should have been a young girl, but now his eyes are sunken, his face is gray, and he has a deeply sick look.

"You're a student at the Police Academy?" she muttered, shaking her head, "useless...... Useless...... It's useless even if the detective comes...... That's not a human, that's a ghost!"

The girl glanced at Shui Bingyu helplessly, this person's words somewhat explained her inappropriate words and deeds not long ago.

"What the hell? What are you talking about?" Shui Bingyu took two steps up and looked at Xiao Xue's eyes with blazing eyes, hoping to use this method to stabilize the other party's emotions.

But she failed. Her words instead brought back some terrible memories for the other party, and Xiaoxue's eyes wandered away rapidly, as if she was trying to avoid something, and at the same time she shouted in a desperate and terrifying voice: "Ghost!"

"What did you say, did you see that ghost in the Ghost Lake?" Sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but tremble in her voice.

"Ghost, there's a ghost, I see it, I really see it!" Xiaoxue cried out in horror again.

"She was frightened and not fully recovered. The girl next to her explained softly, "If you knew what she had seen, you wouldn't be surprised by how he behaved now." ”

"Can't let her stay in this cabin. The space here is too small and so dark, which will put a lot of pressure on her psyche. Shui Bingyu said as she motioned to Sister-in-law Liu to cooperate with her to set up Xiaoxue, and then walked towards the living room.

Sure enough, the bright and open environment of the front hall made Xiaoxue relax a lot, and she sat down tremblingly.

Shui Bingyu continued to soothe him in a soft tone: "Okay, what did you see? Don't worry, don't be afraid, speak slowly." There are so many people here, and no one can hurt you. ”

Xiaoxue still looked a little surprised. Her eyes rolled timidly, as if attracted by some unknown force, and finally her gaze shot towards the "ghost lake" outside the window.

Shui Bingyu was also taken by her to look at the "Ghost Shadow Lake", where the wind and waves were calm and there was nothing abnormal.

Xiaoxue sighed softly and said, "Right there, last night, she appeared." ”

Sister-in-law Liu immediately realized something: "You mean, did you see the black shadow on the 'Ghost Shadow Lake'?"

"Not bad. Xiao Xue blinked a little weakly and said, "A few of our friends are very interested in terrifying and supernatural things, and this time Xiao Ran and I came here, and we also heard the haunted story of the "Ghost Shadow Lake", so we came to find out. In the past few days, I have heard a lot of discussion from the people in the village, saying that the black shadow has reappeared. It occurred to me that why not look through a telescope, and if we could solve the mystery, we would be able to see it in front of everyone. In the middle of last night, when I woke up, I found that the weather was clear, and the moonlight was very bright, which was the right condition for observation. So I took out the binoculars and set the focus towards the center of the 'Ghost Lake'. ”

At this point, Xiaoxue stopped, a painful expression appeared on her face, and it seemed that it was difficult to relive that terrifying memory. The crowd waited in silence for the rest, and the atmosphere was tense as if it were about to freeze.

"You...... What do you see?"

Xiaoxue closed her eyes, swallowed her saliva vigorously, and finally opened her mouth again, although she had mustered up the courage of her whole body, her tone was still trembling slightly: "I saw a small boat in the middle of the lake, and a ...... was sitting on it. Woman, a woman dressed in black...... Her eyes were staring straight ahead...... You can't imagine that kind of horrible scene. ”

Women, even women dressed in black, although the place where they appeared in the middle of the night was a little strange, it was not terrifying? Shui Bingyu shook her head in confusion.

"Aren't you interested in terrifying and supernatural things, how can you be scared like this?" Shui Bingyu asked puzzled.

Xiaoxue smiled sadly: "You don't understand? Yes, I'm interested in terrifying and supernatural events, but after all, those are seen on TV or in novels! When you actually see such things, you can't feel my fear at that time." What kind of woman was that? Her face was swollen and black, her features were twisted, her hair was disheveled, and her bloodshot eyes stared at me through the lenses. I've never seen such a gaze, full of resentment and sorrow, like a cold sword plunging straight into a person's heart! She is not a human at all! I have always believed that she is a ghost, a female ghost who died unjustly!"

After Xiaoxue said this in one breath, she buried her head deep in her arms, and her whole body trembled violently. Xiao Ran and Sister-in-law Liu stood on both sides, and their faces changed.

Shui Bingyu thought of a question, she frowned and asked, "Why do you think she is a ghost and not something else?"

"Corpse?" Xiao Xue looked up and glared at Shui Bingyu, "How can the corpse move?"

"That black shadow still moves?" Shui Bingyu was slightly surprised, this was the first time she had heard of this situation.

"Yes. She must have noticed that I had seen her, and then the boat moved and drifted deeper into the lake. I alarmed her, and she will definitely remember me......" Xiaoxue became more and more excited the more she spoke, maybe this was what scared her the most.

It's an exaggeration! It's a horror novel. Shui Bingyu really couldn't believe that such a thing could happen, and after a moment of silence, she smacked lightly, looked at the other party and asked, "Are you sure that these are all things that you have seen with your own eyes, and besides, it won't be an illusion or something?"

Xiaoxue sighed: "Alas, actually, I also hope that is not true. ”

Shui Bingyu stood in place, only to feel that her mind was in chaos. Maybe now, she would rather believe that the girl in front of her has gone mad.

"Sister-in-law Liu, do you have any spare rooms here? I plan to stay here for a few days. Shui Bingyu suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes. It's great that you're going to live here, big sister!You're waiting for me for a while, I'll go downstairs and get you the room key!" Sister-in-law Liu said excitedly, turned around and trotted downstairs.

After a while, Sister-in-law Liu ran over with a key to the room, "Big sister, let's go, I'll take you to the room." ”

After Shui Bingyu comforted Xiaoxue again, she followed Sister-in-law Liu out of room 208.

Along the stairs, Sister-in-law Liu took Shui Bingyu to the innermost room on the 3rd floor.

As soon as she opened the door, Shui Bingyu was shocked! She couldn't imagine that there could be such a beautifully decorated room in such a remote place as the island in the middle of the lake!

This is a luxurious suite, the living room is close to the lake side with curved floor-to-ceiling glass windows, standing by the window, the island scenery can be seen unobstructed!

"Sister-in-law Liu, you are actually decorated here like a five-star hotel luxury suite!" Shui Bingyu sighed as she looked around the room.

"Hey, don't mention it! This is all when the apartment was first built, and my old ghost asked me to pretend it! I said that if a rich man from the city wanted to live more comfortably and enjoy the view. Since the opening of the apartment, no one has come to live in it! Big sister, I've wronged you, my guest rooms here are full, and only this one is left. However, this house has a good line of sight, so you can make do with living in the living room first, this sofa can be opened, and it is quite comfortable to sleep on!" Sister-in-law Liu explained with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's already very good here!" Shui Bingyu said with a smile.

"That big girl, you can rest for a while, just call the front desk if you have anything. Sister-in-law Liu enthusiastically instructed and walked out of the room.

The moon is big and round tonight, and the moonlight is beautiful.

The view from the living room is excellent, and the sparkling lake outside the window is very beautiful. Shui Bingyu couldn't connect such a beautiful scenery in front of him with the legend of the "Ghost Shadow Lake".

Shui Bingyu stared at the lake outside all night, but until 1 a.m., there was silence on the lake, and nothing appeared.

She lay down on the couch and fell asleep groggily.

A night's dream, dreaming of parents who died in a car accident, dreaming of the adoptive mother who died in a fire, the woman in black on the "Ghost Shadow Lake", and the desperate girl covered in blood praying for help, all touched was endless darkness.

The next morning, Shui Bingyu could barely get out of bed. It's the kind of best entanglement that can't sleep or get out of bed.

In the end, it was the mobile phone ringtone that woke Shui Bingyu, and the clock on the wall showed that it was 5:10 in the morning. I can't help but answer the call, it's Meng Xingchen.

Could it be that something is going on again?

The sense of foreboding was like a heavy punch, and a blow hit Shui Bingyu, but she still picked up her phone. Does she have any other choice?

"Team Meng?"

"I hesitated for a long time, but I still called you so early," Meng Xingchen's voice was restrained and depressed. "But it can't be helped...... The bloody book case has happened again, and we have another victim!"
