Section 4 Detectives
The first time Su Zhengde saw Qin Feng, he remembered a person, Qin Xiaoyun. Now he knew that he had confirmed his suspicions, and that he was really the son of an old man.
Fourteen years ago, that winter, Su Zhengde met Qin Xiaoyun for the first time.
Su Zhengde has seen many people in his life. Whether it was the knowledgeable Chu Tiannan or the knowledgeable Uncle Bao, neither he had a very special feeling.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyun's first face, Su Zhengde's heart felt like someone had been beaten hard, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Qin Xiaoyun was wearing a decent suit, a top hat on his head, and a pair of black-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose.
Some people are like this, and they will have an inexplicable sense of trust when they see each other for the first time.
At that time, Qin Xiaoyun and a man named Wang Tie came to Yuling Village to buy jade. Although Su Zhengde saw some other things from Wang Tie's flickering eyes, he still let them stay in Yuling Village.
As Su Zhengde thought, Qin Xiaoyun went straight to the point that night and told the purpose of his visit. He told Su Zhengde that he was a private investigator and was entrusted by others to investigate the disappearance of the archaeological team led by Professor Chu Tiannan. I hope Su Zhengde can help provide some clues.
The archaeological case of that year implicated almost the entire village of Yuling Village. After the accident of the archaeological team, ** sent people here to investigate several times, and even asked to enter Yuling Mountain to search. Later, it was the local Institute of Ancient Culture that came forward, and Chu Tiannan's family did not mean to investigate deeply, so the matter calmed down.
When Su Zhengde heard that Qin Xiaoyun was here for the archaeological case of the year, he flatly refused. But what Su Zhengde didn't expect was that Wang Tie used money to lure several villagers into Yuling Mountain with them that night.
When it was dark, several villagers came back with Wang Tie.
Under their panicked complaints, Su Zhengde learned that they had lost their way after entering Yuling Mountain, and they did not find a way out until the afternoon. Just when they were at a loss, several villagers suddenly fainted without warning. When they woke up, they found the injured Wang Tie, and Qin Xiaoyun was nowhere to be found.
On Wang Tie's body, there was a palm-sized wound, which was densely packed with holes the size of needles' eyes.
Just when Su Zhengde was thinking about whether to send someone to find Qin Xiaoyun, Qin Xiaoyun himself came back from the mountain and didn't say a word after that. No one knew what Qin Xiaoyun saw, nor did they know what he had experienced. That night, he left Yuling Village with Wang Tie.
Later, Su Zhengde received the bad news of Qin Xiaoyun's accident.
Over the years, Su Zhengde has been blaming himself, he blames himself for not taking good care of his villagers at the beginning, otherwise Qin Xiaoyun would not have had an accident.
When Qin Xiaoyun and Wang Tie left, Su Zhengde also gave Qin Xiaoyun a cyan porcelain vase as a souvenir.
When Qin Feng took out the jairbrush pendant, Su Zhengde suspected that he was Qin Xiaoyun's son. However, Qin Xiaoyun's death was too strange at the beginning, so he was not in a hurry to recognize him.
Now, when Su Zhengde saw the celadon vase in Qin Feng's hand, he could no longer bear the guilt in his heart, and told the truth at once.
Qin Feng stared at the celadon vase in his hand. He didn't expect this thing to be a souvenir that Su Zhengde gave to his father back then. So how could this thing be taken away by someone else? Who is the person who asked him to come to the old mansion to give him the celadon vase? Could it be that he is also from Yuling Village? Or is it that my father's death was simply because he discovered some secret in Yuling Village and was poisoned?
After Su Zhengde said all this, the corners of his eyes were a little moist. Su Xiaonuan next to him didn't expect that Qin Feng's father would have such a relationship with Yuling Village.
Qin Feng was stunned and motionless. He felt a net envelop him. From the reminder he received from the "prophet" to everything that happened when he came to Yuling Village, it seemed that every step and everything was full of mystery and danger, making him unable to see whether it was flat ground or a trap in front of him.
Su Zhengde's explanation is only his side of the story. Wouldn't the celadon vase that the mysterious man give himself portend something? Now, Qin Feng felt that he was really walking on thin ice, and he didn't know who to trust and who not to trust.
And in Su Zhengde's narration, a key figure named Wang Tie was mentioned. But why is it never mentioned in my father's diary and my mother? Where did that man named Wang Tie go?
Perhaps, finding him will find the real reason why his father was killed. So Qin Feng decided to leave Yuling Village and look for the person named Wang Tie back then.
When he spoke the idea, everyone was stunned. Only Su Zhengde seemed calm. Su Zhengde turned around and took out an iron box from the room and put it in front of Qin Feng, "This is the only thing I can help you." ”
Opening the iron box, Qin Feng saw a photo inside.
The photo shows a father and a man together. That man is Wang Tie.
Two days later, Qin Feng and Su Xiaonuan returned to Nancheng. Xiaohang stayed in Yuling Village, and he insisted on waiting for Su Zhengde to find a way to find Lei Minghao before coming back.
For Su Xiaonuan's return, Lin Xin was extremely happy. Since Su Xiaonuan came home, Lin Xin has always been alone in the dormitory, she can't sleep well every night, she always feels that Bai Ling's ghost stays in the dormitory and refuses to leave.
In this regard, Su Xiaonuan really couldn't cry or laugh. I don't know when Lin Xin's thoughts will be dispelled. Talking about ghosts all day long, she is simply a goddess.
When it was dark, Su Xiaonuan was cleaning up on the bed, and suddenly heard Lin Xin screaming loudly on the balcony.
Su Xiaonuan hurriedly dropped her clothes and walked to the balcony, only to find that it was just raining outside. Su Xiaonuan rolled her eyes helplessly. Lin Xin smiled embarrassedly.
The misty drizzle fell, which seemed to drench the memories of the past, and people couldn't help but fall into sadness. Thinking of this, Su Xiaonuan's heart had some inexplicable sadness quietly brewing and slowly spreading.
In the middle of the night, Su Xiaonuan got up and went to the bathroom.
It was pitch black in the hallway, and the silence around her made her hands and feet cold. Su Xiaonuan only heard the sound of her slippers stepping on the corridor. A boundless fear swooped down on her, Su Xiaonuan paused, and her intuition told her that there was a person behind her. She could even hear the man walking and breathing clearly.
Su Xiaonuan only felt that her scalp was numb, and the pores of her whole body went straight up. The man behind him seemed to be looking at him all the time, his cold gaze piercing through his back to his heart. The more Su Xiaonuan thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more she wanted to walk fast, the heavier her legs became. The man's gaze stuck to her from behind like a spider's web, and she couldn't shake it off.
Su Xiaonuan clenched her fists and suddenly turned her head.
In the dim light, she saw a girl standing behind her. The pink nightdress, the long hair draped over the face, Snoopy's slippers are somewhat familiar. Step by step, the girl walked towards her, with a cold aura on her body. Su Xiaonuan shuddered, and goosebumps slowly spread all over her body.
A gust of wind blew from the entrance of the hallway, and the girl's hair covering her face was blown open. Su Xiaonuan saw a familiar face, she turned out to be Lin Xin.
Lin Xin walked over to him in a daze.
Su Xiaonuan just wanted to call her, but suddenly thought of a word - sleepwalking. Sure enough, Lin Xin didn't seem to see Su Xiaonuan, and continued to walk forward.
When she reached the bathroom door, she stood there in a daze, muttering something softly.
The horror in Su Xiaonuan's heart turned into curiosity. She knew that sleepwalkers couldn't wake up, otherwise they would be scared silly. So, she slowly walked in front of Lin Xin. The words in Lin Xin's mouth also drilled into Su Xiaonuan's ears little by little, "Death killed me, Death killed me." ”
That sentence was like a timed ** introduction, and it suddenly exploded in Su Xiaonuan's heart. What Lin Xin said seemed to be said for another person. That person was Bai Ling.
Su Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment, at a loss. She didn't know if Lin Xin was really sleepwalking, or was she possessed by Bai Ling's ghost? Now, she remembered what Lin Xin had told her during the day, and I felt as if Bai Ling's ghost was still in the dormitory, and she refused to leave. Could it be that there are really ghosts in this world?
A chill came up from Su Xiaonuan's back. She ran back to the dormitory without looking back, shrunk into the bed, and never dared to stick her head out again. It wasn't until dawn that Su Xiaonuan fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up, Su Xiaonuan saw Lin Xin sitting at the head of the bed and looking straight ahead.
"Lin Xin, you, what's wrong with you?" Su Xiaonuan tentatively said a word to her.
Lin Xin turned his head. Her eyes were red and her expression was haggard, she looked at Su Xiaonuan with sad eyes, and said something.
Since Bai Ling's death, Lin Xin's mood has been very low. She always felt that Bai Ling was still by her side. A few times, she even pushed open the door of the dormitory, and she saw Bai Ling sitting in front of the computer waving to her.
Lin Xin also knew that there were no ghosts in this world, and there were no ghost eyes. However, what she saw was indeed the truth, and she didn't know how to tell others, even if she told others, maybe others didn't believe it.
Later, Su Xiaonuan went home. Lin Xin was the only one left in the dormitory. That feeling became stronger and stronger, and even sometimes Lin Xin found herself sleeping in Bai Ling's bed, and a few times she found herself sitting in the bathroom.
After listening to Lin Xin's words, Su Xiaonuan felt that the situation was a little serious. Su Xiaonuan suggested that Lin Xin go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, otherwise she didn't know what would happen.
There were very few people in the hospital, and the corridors were dark and mushy. They also don't know which department to go to for this disease. Su Xiaonuan pulled Lin Xin for a long time before she found a girl who looked like a nurse and asked.
After listening to Su Xiaonuan's pimple description, the nurse impatiently pointed to the front and walked away.
Walking to the department that the nurse was referring to, Su Xiaonuan couldn't help but be a little angry. It turned out to be psychiatry. She was angry and wanted to go back to find the nurse, but was stopped by Lin Xin. In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that this disease should come to the psychiatric department.
Pushing open the door, an elderly doctor was reading a newspaper. Seeing someone come in, he put down the newspaper.
"Doctor, we, have some questions." Lin Xin didn't know what to say, and looked a little cramped.
"It's okay, you sit down first." The doctor smiled and said gently.
After listening to Lin Xin's words, Dr. Li's face became more and more solemn. From time to time, he looked up something with a book, and then jotted it down on a blank piece of paper. Regarding the doctor's strange performance, Lin Xin and Su Xiaonuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Wait a minute, I'll come when I go."
After a few moments, Dr. Lee stood up and walked out with what he had just remembered.
There was silence in the room. Lin Xin looked around and saw the book on the table that Dr. Li had just consulted, "Spiritual Healing Method".
Lin Xin picked it up and flipped through a few pages casually, but his eyes suddenly stopped moving.
The human spirit has an inextricable connection with the brain's thinking. For a long time, there has been an inconclusive controversy about the human soul.
In many countries in the West, there are cases of hell. Of course, for ghosts, which are indefinable forms. To date, there is no specific definition. According to the experiments done by scientists, there are many "aliens" who can see external matter. Nine times out of ten, it is because there is some more medium in the brain, which puts a protective film on the "hell" theory.
In recent years, some people in Western countries have seen the "Grim Reaper". The image of the god of death is nothing more than a human portrayal, like the king of Yama in China and the god Brahma in India. According to eyewitness testimonies, the "Grim Reaper" they saw was a man dressed in a black robe with a scythe in his hand.
At first, the police thought that someone was deliberately pretending to be the "Grim Reaper" to create terror. However, after investigation, it was found that things were not as simple as imagined.
Lin Xin saw that behind that paragraph, there were several pictures of the image of the "Grim Reaper". The "Grim Reaper" on the picture smiled slightly, his eyes staring straight at Lin Xin. For a while, Lin Xin's mind was blank. There are images flashing quickly in my head. Lin Xin felt that she was about to collapse. She wanted to shout, but she couldn't.
Finally, the picture gradually stopped, and it was frozen in front of me. A faint ray of light came down from above. Lin Xin saw a coffin parked on the ground, and the faint light was shining on it, eerie.
Suddenly, the lid of the coffin moved, and a small hand reached out from inside. Then, little by little, the lid moved to the side. Lin Xin's eyes widened and he gasped for air. Finally, the lid was pushed open. A little girl crawled out of the coffin, her face covered in black sewage, and a few white maggots crawling on her hands.
Yes! Lin Xin shouted loudly.
"What's wrong? Lin Xin, what's wrong with you? Su Xiaonuan next to her hurriedly hugged her.
"I ......" Lin Xin's eyes darkened and he fainted.
Outside the window, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was falling on Su Xiaonuan's heart. The doctor's words still echo in her ears to this day.
"Your friend has a tumor in his brain that hasn't formed yet. Of course, it is not yet certain whether it is benign or malignant. However, it is best to be admitted to the hospital early for observation. You'd better get her family to come and do a thorough check-up. ”
Cerebroma? This concept made Su Xiaonuan a little dazed. In the past, I only heard it in books or on TV, but I didn't expect it to happen to me now. She was a little hesitant and didn't know how to explain it to Lin Xin. If she told Lin Xin the real situation, would she not be able to accept it?
Snow dyes the whole world white. It seems to be listening to another sad fairy tale happening in this world.
