Tianyuan Community is an old community in Yunzhou City, and its old degree can be seen from the situation of the residents here. There are more than 100 families living in the community, but more than 70% of them are elderly, and the vast majority of them are elderly people living alone.

Although this is an ordinary community for the elderly, the residents here are not simple, most of them are retired cadres from various confidential departments of the government, and it is for this reason that the relevant departments will not be less concerned about this old community. No, just after the Chinese New Year, the government invested in the construction of a free swimming pool for the community, although the scale is not large, but the facilities are also complete, counting on the elderly to have a place to exercise.

Although the starting point is good, how many people can insist on going to the swimming pool to exercise? This time and again, there are only a few people who often go, and Wang Aiguo is one of them. Before retiring, Wang Aiguo worked in the Municipal Sports Bureau, and due to the working environment, he also developed the habit of insisting on exercising for a long time.

As usual, Wang Aiguo arrived at the swimming pool on time at half past seven in the evening, he is used to putting his exercise time in this time period, because at this time there are the least people in the swimming pool, and he does not have to worry about being affected by others during the swimming process. Wang Aiguo looked around, and with only two or three of his own people, he changed into a swimsuit and went into the water satisfied. After swimming for a while, several other people also left, and the swimming pool gradually quieted down, and Wang Aiguo could only hear the sound of his own paddling.

Because there are not many swimmers, there are no lifeguards in the swimming pool, except for the little girl Qin Lan who guards the door, there are no other staff in the swimming pool. Qin Lan is in her early twenties, and when the swimming pool opened, she was hired here as an administrator, in addition to opening the door, she was also responsible for cleaning the sanitary of the swimming pool, but this little girl didn't talk much on weekdays, and she couldn't talk about enthusiasm with anyone, so Wang Aiguo came here to exercise for a while, and except for the occasional hello, the two were not very familiar.

Wang Aiguo didn't care about the quietness in the swimming pool, he had long been accustomed to this kind of life after being alone for many years. Wang Aiguo is a demobilized soldier, his wife left early, and his children are working in other places, so he can't go back a few times a year, so swimming can also let him pass some boring time.

Wang Aiguo swam seriously, spitting and inhaling, constantly switching back and forth between underwater and water, but... He suddenly choked on the water! He hurriedly reached out and grabbed the floating rope on the surface of the water, stuck his head out of the water, and because of the tight cough, he quickly slapped his chest with his other hand to adjust his breathing. It's not that his swimming skills are poor, it's just that out of the corner of his eye just now, he actually caught a glimpse of a red figure standing by the pool!

It's not surprising that there are other people swimming in the pool, but the red shadow just now is extremely weird! It was the back of a woman, not wearing a swimsuit, but a long red dress that hung down to the ground, her hair was scattered behind her back, her hands were naturally drooping, and her body was standing by the pool in a strange posture! Wang Aiguo vaguely remembered that the exposed skin on her hands was so white that it was a little oozing!

Wang Aiguo's eyes were a little flustered, he grabbed the floating rope and hurriedly looked around the swimming pool, but there was no woman in a red dress in the swimming pool, he was the only one in the swimming pool of Nuoda at the moment, and the surroundings were so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat! Wang Aiguo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally stopped coughing after choking on the water, but at this time he couldn't help but tremble a little.

Could it be that I am dazzled? But her figure just now was so clear, she couldn't be dazzled by a real person, right? Wang Aiguo tried hard to think of all possibilities, could it be the little girl Qin Lan who was guarding the door? Wrong! She had short ear-length hair, and she didn't remember wearing any red dresses. Wang Aiguo took a deep breath and calmed his mood! It must be that I am wrong, it seems that I will be a little dazzled when I am old, and it is really not good to be so suspicious and suspicious!

Wang Aiguo adjusted his swimming goggles and plunged into the water again, this time he didn't swim as well as he just now, and looked at both sides of the pool from time to time, but after swimming for a while, he didn't see any red-clothed figures. His heart gradually calmed down, he was wrong just now! This time he was sure of it!

Wang Aiguo insisted on swimming ten laps every night, and this was his last lap tonight. I don't know why, since he saw the shadow just now, his heart has been stunned, a little panicked, he kicked his leg hard, and swam out again, he wanted to end tonight's swimming quickly, otherwise he would always be a little uneasy in his heart! But not far after departure, Wang Aiguo was choked by the water again...

This time there was no red-clad figure on the shore, and she was already standing at the bottom of the pool... Through the swimming goggles, Wang Aiguo could see clearly that at the bottom of the water, four or five meters away from him, there was a woman in a red dress standing at the moment! She faced Wang Aiguo, her red dress and her long hair were scattered in the water, she was not wearing shoes, the skin on her bare hands and feet was so white that it was seeping, the long hair on her forehead covered half of her face, and there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth at this time! Although she couldn't see her clearly, Wang Aiguo could feel that her eyes were staring at Wang Aiguo...

Wang Aiguo was so frightened that he jumped out of the water, but at this time he had reached the deep water area, and Wang Aiguo's feet could not directly step on the bottom of the pool. He struggled desperately left and right, trying to grab the floating rope beside him, but in a hurry, he couldn't find the location of the floating rope. For a person who has been exercising for a long time, it stands to reason that such a pool depth would not make him so embarrassed, but at this moment, he has already messed up, and his strong sense of fear makes his limbs feel like they are filled with lead!

Suddenly, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, and he quickly reached out to cover his chest! In fact, for a long time in the past, Wang Aiguo was tormented by weak heart function, in order to ensure his health, the doctor suggested that he do a moderate amount of exercise, so he chose to insist on swimming, a relatively easy way of exercise. But he never expected that tonight's red shadow would actually make him have a heart attack at this juncture.

Because he covered his heart with one hand and didn't catch the floating rope with the other, Wang Aiguo sank again, but this time the red shadow had already rushed in front of him, less than a meter away from him, Wang Aiguo saw it more clearly, this could never be vision! There is indeed such a woman in a red dress in front of him! The corners of her mouth smiled even more strangely at this time, and her lips were already jet black! She slowly raised her hands in the water and stretched them straight towards Wang Aiguo's neck, Wang Aiguo was so frightened that she struggled desperately! He got his head out of the water again, but he choked on the water one after another, so that he had no way to call for help, and at the same time, his chest hurt more and more, his limbs began to numb, and he sank to the bottom again, gradually no longer moving...

"Ah~~" There was a hysterical woman's exclamation from the swimming pool... Half an hour later, the police officers from the police station and the medical staff from the emergency center rushed to the swimming pool. Wang Aiguo's face was hideous at this time, his eyes were a little bulging, staring directly at the ceiling of the swimming pool, his face had become iron-blue, and his body was also blistered a little white, and his death was indeed a little terrifying, the doctor shook his head, and slowly covered Wang Aiguo, who was lying by the pool, with a white cloth, and said in a low voice: "It's late, it's too late!" The deceased did not have any external injuries on his body, and the preliminary judgment is that he should have died of an acute heart attack and drowned by water suffocation!"

Feng Zhen, a police officer at the police station, glanced at Wang Aiguo, turned his head to the side and asked Qin Lan, who was crying silently, "You just reported to the police?" Can you tell me more about what the situation is? ”

Qin Lan continued to choke a few times, it seemed that she should have been frightened because of Wang Aiguo's death, she calmed down for a while before she replied in a low voice: "I have been on duty here, about 8:20, I heard that there seemed to be no movement in the swimming pool, so I entered the swimming pool to see if there was anyone, but as soon as I came in, I saw him floating in the pool, I couldn't swim, and I didn't dare to go into the water to save it, so I called the police... Who knows, he is... Just drowned, if I could swim..."Halfway through speaking, Qin Lan choked up again.

Feng Zhen continued to ask, "Was he the only one at the time of the incident?" Have you seen anyone else or heard anything? ”

Qin Lan shook her head and replied, "There is no one else, Uncle Wang is usually the last to leave, and I came in to see if he had finished swimming." ”

"Do you have monitors here?"

Qin Lan shook her head again and replied, "Our swimming pool has not been built for a long time, and we haven't had time to install it yet. ”

Feng Zhen took a deep breath and finally asked, "What time does the swimming pool usually close, and will anyone enter during this period?" ”

Qin Lan replied: "It usually closes at half past eight in the evening, if someone swims longer, we will wait a little, but there is never more than half past eight, and Uncle Wang is the last." ”

Feng Zhen didn't answer, he circled around the swimming pool again, this is a closed swimming pool, all sides are made of brick walls, there is a row of ventilation windows above the swimming pool, but it is far from the ground, people can't reach it without external force, but the window is not big, and an adult can't enter or exit, so it can be seen that the only exit from this swimming pool is only the main entrance, and Qin Lan is on duty at the main entrance, and it is impossible for anyone to enter and exit She can't be invisible.

Feng Zhen turned back to Qin Lan and said slowly, "Maybe this is an accident!" You should go back to rest early, if there is anything we don't know, it may disturb you. Qin Lan didn't answer, just nodded lightly, it seems that Wang Aiguo's death has stimulated her a lot...
