Chapter 17: Return to the Ruins 07

Han Yan and Ye Chen arrived at the hospital, asked the nurse about Shangguan Ning's situation, entered the ward, and saw that he had woken up, lying on his side on the bed and looking out the window. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thousands of days in the ward, the environment is very good, and there is a bouquet of fresh sunflower lilies in the high-necked glass bottle on the table.

"Mr. Shangguan." Han Yan exported.

Shangguan Ning seemed to be taken aback, "Ah," he looked at the two of them for a moment, and said with a slight smile, "Officer Han, Officer Ye, please take a seat." ”

"How does it feel? Are you okay? Ye Chen naturally took on the responsibility of greeting people.

"It's fine."

"Can you tell us about the fire?"

"I'm ......" Shangguan Ning sat up and coughed: "When I came home after eating at noon, I read a book in the study for a while, I felt sleepy, and I probably slept for a while, and then I was woken up by the smoke." I'll just ...... I wanted to run outside, but the fire in the kitchen was too big and blocked the way out, so I ran back to the study and took my mobile phone to call the fire. ”

"Did you notice anything wrong in the house, or someone?"

Ye Chen's words seemed to poke a certain nerve in Shangguan Ning, and his expression suddenly became painful: "Actually, I'm ...... I felt wrong the other day, it felt like there was someone in the house all the time, I ...... I could hear the woman's voice. His voice grew lower, almost with a cry of fear, and then he raised his head and looked at them with a hideous face, "It's a curse!" It's all a curse! ”

The nurse outside heard the movement and hurriedly ran in: "The patient needs to rest, please go out with the two policemen." ”

Ye Chen and Han Yan glanced at each other, followed Guan Ning to finally explain two words to take care of their injuries, and followed the nurse out of the door.

"What do you think...... Is he telling the truth? Ye Chen glanced in from the window, Shangguan Ning lowered his head, and couldn't see clearly.

"This is what Chi Xun is responsible for, Shangguan Ning called the police at the wrong time."

"When?" Ye Chen raised his head and thought about it, and went through the time of the incident.

"Shangguan Ning said that he fell asleep when the fire caught fire, and was woken up by thick smoke, and we can see the fire from the monitoring at the door, which can reach the level of choking people, the earliest is 14:50, and then Shangguan Ning ran out of the study, blocked by the fire, and then ran back to the study, we counted the process without hesitation in the middle, it only took two minutes, then the time when he made the call should be 14:52 at the earliest."

After listening to Han Yan's explanation, Ye Chen reacted: "But his call was made at 14:46." ”

"Yes," Han Yan lowered his eyes, "he's in a hurry." He had to leave at least 15 minutes for the fire department to be on the road, and even though the fire had just started, he dialed the phone anyway. ”

"A few minutes of jet ......lag," Ye Chen frowned, "Why did he tell this lie?" ”

Han Yan shook his head.

Lies are naturally told in order to conceal the truth. What is Shangguan Ning hiding?

When Chi Xun and Liang Yu came back, Shen Xingfan was still adjusting the video, with a pocky in his mouth, looking like a bad girl from a distance.

"Yo, you're back, the doctor came to take a look at this video, it's the surveillance at the door of Shangguan Ning's house, and the boss seems to think there's something wrong with it."

Chi Xun walked over to look at the computer screen, and Liang Yu entered the forensic office to find Tang Duge to exchange information about the corpse.

The video still started playing when Shangguan Ning arrived home, took out the key from his bag, opened the door, and entered the house.

"Wait a minute." Chi Xun suddenly stopped.

Shen Xingfan stopped the video: "What's wrong?" ”

"...... here," Chi Xun seemed to hesitate, "Rewind fifteen seconds and adjust the clarity." ”

"Oh, good." I didn't understand it, but I did it.

Two minutes to adjust it, rewind back to when Shangguan Ning opened the door.

"Here, zoom in." Chi Xun tapped the screen, a place in the house.

Shen Xingfan brought up the picture, and a woman's face gradually emerged from the darkness. The ankle-length hair covered half of his face, and his pale face was aimed at Shangguan Ning, who was about to enter at the door.

"I'll go!" Shen Xingfan was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair.

"Hmm......" Chi Xun calmly touched his chin and pondered.

"Big brother," Shen Xingfan cried, picking up the corner of Chi Xun's clothes, "It's terrible, I can still accept the matter of finding a murderer, but I really can't bear it when it comes to the supernatural event." ”

Tang Duge and Liang Yu listened to the voice and came out: "What's wrong?" ”

Chi Xun pointed to the screen. After the two of them came over, Liang Yu also shouted: "I'll go, this is too infiltrating." Tang Duge leaned over with interest and took a closer look: "Tsk, the standard role of horror movies." ”

"It's still Japanese and Korean." Chi Xun calmly added.

"Huh?" Shen Xingfan picked up the milk tea on the table and took a big sip, warming his heart from the end, and finally calmed down, "This is fake?" ”

"Projection equipment will do the trick." Chi Xun patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid." ”

Shen Xingfan made a bitter face: "You don't believe this, so don't be afraid." ”

"Whoever said it, I quite believe it, the mysterious things in this world are always fascinating." Tang Duge lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, "Look, there's nothing to be afraid of, most of them come out of such a mold." ”

Shen Xingfan tilted his head, and saw a whole page of photos of female ghosts on his phone.

There was silence for a moment, and then he snorted and ran out.

happened to bump into Han Yan and Ye Chen who came back at the door, Ye Chen stretched out his arm and scooped people over: "What's the matter, what are you running." Shen Xingfan buried his head in a sigh.

Chi Xun explained with a smile, and Han Yan nodded thoughtfully: "Remember what Shangguan Ning told us?" ”

"Shangguan Ning?" Ye Chen thought for a while, "Oh, he said that in the past few days, he always feels that there are people in the house, and he can hear the voice of a woman talking." ”

"I can just match this." Han Yan tilted his head to look at Chi Xun, "What do you think?" ”

"Me?" Ji Xun laughed, "I think...... The play has been played. ”

Shangguan Ning directed a scene in which the female ghost in the family wanted to kill him, in order to exacerbate the reality of the so-called curse.

"All the time emphasizing the curse, for what?"

"For the money." Liang Yu received a text message and smiled mockingly, "I don't know who put the news out, saying that the things that were fished out of these sunken ships are all things of ancient civilizations, and now the price on the black market has doubled." ”

It's back to civilization...... What is that culture with snakes as a totem?

Snakes appeared on earth much earlier than people. More than 3 billion years ago, the most primitive creatures began to exist on the ground. After a long period of evolution, the species of organisms changed from simple to complex, from low to high, from aquatic to terrestrial, and about 340 million years ago, true terrestrial vertebrates appeared, which are reptiles. As time passed, there were more and more such animals, and the species and number reached their peak. During this period, the ancestors of mammals and birds evolved successively from the primitive species of reptiles, and snakes and lizards were the most closely related, they were close relatives, and snakes were transformed from lizards. In the primitive species of lizards, some of them have adapted to the new environment in the long process of evolution, and their limbs have gradually degenerated, forming some new characteristics, and becoming snakes, which are the youngest branches of reptiles and the last highly adaptable reptiles to enter the stage of life. The earliest fossils of snakes were found in strata of the early White Commission, about 130 million years ago.

Among primitive tribes, clans with snakes as totems were also common. According to Morgan's "Ancient Society", among the American Indians, there are 9 tribes with snake clans, and some even use rattlesnakes as the totem of the clan. This is also the case among some primitive tribes in Australia, especially the Warrenmug people, who also hold a ritual of snake totem worship. Those who participate in this ritual apply various pigments to their whole bodies, dress up as snakes, twist their bodies in imitation of the snake's movements, and sing and dance about the history and power of snakes to pray for the blessings of the snake god.
