Chapter 3: Resurrection or Illusion
I looked at Sister Xiao Mu in surprise, and Li Jing also frowned habitually: "Haven't you woken up yet?" I asked her.
Sister Xiao Mu shook her head: "I'm sober. I've always felt like I've been hallucinating because I haven't had a good night's rest, but a series of recent events have convinced me of my previous hallucinations. Speaking of this, Sister Xiao Mu's voice trembled.
I hurriedly patted Sister Xiao Mu's back to comfort her: "Don't worry, speak slowly, my friend has a lot of experience in solving this kind of thing, and he will definitely be able to help you." ”
"Yesterday my uncle called me and told me about him, that's why I decided to ask you for help." The uncle in Sister Xiaomu's mouth should be my father, and it seems that my father has done a lot of work to help this matter. "So what happened to you that made you think you weren't hallucinating?"
"I saw the real person of that girl." Sister Xiao Mu's face became solemn, "At first, I thought I was wrong, but it really only appeared for a few seconds, and it was on the bustling street, I turned my head and looked for it several times but didn't find it, so I thought I recognized the wrong person." But then, about a month later, I suddenly received a text message from the mother of one of my roommates, informing me to attend her daughter's funeral. At first, I thought it was a prank, and I wanted to ignore it, but a friend called me to confirm the status of the roommate, saying that he had received a notice of his roommate's funeral. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, so I called the funeral home on the text message and got in touch, and sure enough, there was my roommate's funeral that day. I was so confused that I wanted to call back and ask her mother about it, but when I called back, I found that no one answered. In desperation, I had to go to my roommate's funeral on the appointed date with the remaining 3 girls. Her mother was surprised that we were able to attend, thinking that we would not be able to attend because we would not be able to make it to work. After listening to this, the four of us were stunned, and took out the text message to confirm with the roommate's mother, only to find that the phone number in the text message was not her mother's at all. We were all wondering who informed us, but because of the sad atmosphere at the time, we didn't dig any further. Now that I think about it, if I had looked a little deeper, I might have avoided future tragedies. I could see the deep remorse in Sister Xiao Mu's eyes.
"What happened next?"
Sister Xiao Mu was silent for a while, and it seemed difficult to say anything more, and after a long while, she said slowly: "Later, my other two roommates also died in the next two months. ”
"Well, it shouldn't make you think it's the girl who died before coming back to life, right?" I couldn't contain my shock at all.
"Hmm. I wouldn't have thought of a graduation trip if it was just a succession of deaths, but every time I received a text message about a funeral, I would see the dead girl on the street for a week or so. It's just a glimpse, but I'm pretty sure she's the girl who committed suicide on our graduation trip. "When I said this, Sister Xiao Mu was trembling all over, and I had to keep gently patting her back to try to reduce her psychological burden.
Li Jing spoke at this time: "Are you the only one who can see it?" ”
Sister Xiao Mu shook her head: "At first, I only thought that I could see it alone, but when the third girl also died, I told the other girl about these things, but I didn't expect that as soon as I was halfway through it, the girl said the second half of what I was going to say." That is, we both saw the ghosts of the dormitory girls before the first few girls died. ”
Li Jing pointed to his back from the chair: "Can you tell me the cause of death of these girls?" If you can, start with the first girl who died in the dormitory. ”
I helped Sister Xiao Mu get another cup of hot water, and waited for her to calm down from the fright just now. After a long while, Sister Xiao Mu said softly: "The first girl is called Ye Ya, and the reason why I associate everything with her is because I did see her on the street before several friends died, and the other is that the way she died made me feel scared. After a pause, Sister Xiao Mu continued, "Ye Ya committed suicide in the dormitory, and she also left a suicide note, saying that she would never forgive us, and one day she would come to take revenge on everyone in this dormitory." ”
"Have you ever bullied her before?" If you just listen to the death message, maybe this girl named Ye Ya may have something unpleasant between them and Sister Xiao Mu.
Sister Xiao Mu denied my idea: "That's not true, although we don't have much communication with Ye Ya, but we still get along normally like ordinary roommates." ”
"Maybe you didn't know much about the dormitory at that time, but did you hear from your other friends about Ye Ya's Hu Ao painting or something?" I'm still stuck in my own thoughts.
Sister Xiao Mu was also trying to recall, but she didn't seem to think of any useful information, Li Jing urged impatiently: "If you can't remember, you can don't think about it first, do you know the cause of death of the remaining girls?" ”
Probably frightened by Li Jing's impatient voice, Sister Xiao Mu hurriedly replied: "The cause of death of several other girls, Liangyi, that is, the first girl who died after that incident, the reason why it didn't remind us of Ye Ya's incident is because Liangyi died of a heart attack. Liangyi had congenital heart disease, and the cause of her death did not cause us to fear or suspicion. The second girl who died was named Tian Tian, she died in a car accident, but judging from the surveillance video, it was Tian Tian who suddenly walked to the carriageway and hit a car straight up. The third girl who died was named Zhang Le, who was killed by a falling object from a high altitude at the construction site, but no one knows why she ran to such a remote construction site. Because the deaths of Tian Tian and Zhang Le are too weird, we have to think of the last words of death left by Ye Ya. ”
"Now that you all have a suspicion, have you called the police?" Li Jing asked.
Sister Xiao Mu shook her head, with a helpless wry smile on her face, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think the police will believe our words?" ”
Li Jing moved his shoulders: "Although I definitely won't believe it, I can also point out a direction for the police to handle the case." Now it seems that the 4 deaths are all related, first of all, the death of Ye Ya you said, her suicide note is the fuse of the next three cases, and then the death of the next three people, which seems to be completely executed in accordance with Ye Ya's suicide note. The three people who died later, no, should also include the two people who are still alive, what is the connection between you and the original deceased? Li Jing said that the back was more like talking to himself.
Sister Xiao Mu glanced at me, and she didn't seem to understand the meaning of Li Jing's later words. I waved at her and motioned for her not to care.
Li Jing thought for a while before raising his head: "By the way, Zhu Mu, how did you know about the two deaths later?" ”
"Still got a text message." Sister Xiao Mu handed her mobile phone to Li Jing, "After Tian Tian and Zhang Le died, I learned about the time and place of their funeral through text messages. However, the text messages about the two of them are more like notifications, and they do not name who they are or what their relationship is. ”
"Have you checked these numbers in the business hall?"
Sister Xiao Mu shook her head: "Because we didn't call the police, we couldn't ask the business hall to help us check the origin of this number." But oh it's supposed to be a one-time number. I kept the last three text messages, but the numbers were different each time. ”
Li Jing copied down the number: "Every time you see the so-called ghost, how long before the death of the next deceased person is seen." ”
Sister Xiao Mu recalled: "Oh, I remember I just said that it should be about a week before the death of a deceased person. ”
"Can you be sure if it's within a week or outside?" Li Jing continued the Q&A.
Sister Xiao Mu recalled for a long time: "It should be within a week." That's right, within a week, Tian Tian's car accident was on Sunday, and the time I saw Ye Ya's ghost was on Tuesday of that week; It was Wednesday when Zhang Le died, and I saw Ye Ya's ghost on Thursday a week before Zhang Le's death. ”
Li Jing wrote down Sister Xiao Mu's memories in the small book: "Do you know when the roommate who is alive like you now saw the ghost? ”
Sister Xiao Mu shook her head regretfully: "I don't know, we just exchanged things about each other's ghosts that we had seen Ye Ya, but we didn't communicate when it was." ”
"Can you help us confirm that now? The sooner you go, the more you can spot the ghosts. Li Jing asked a little urgently.
Sister Xiao Mu didn't dare to delay and called another roommate, and when I put down the phone, I found that Sister Xiao Mu's face was not very good, and her lips were purple and trembling: "Zhang Ying said that every time I see her, a friend will have an accident the next day." She also said. ”
Li Jing and I looked at each other, and I cautiously asked, "What else did she say?" ”
Sister Xiao Mu spoke again: "She also said that she just saw the ghost again." As soon as the words fell, Sister Xiao Mu fell straight backwards.
