Chapter 137 The Price of "Believing".
Sang Wanning: When it's over, I really can't finish my homework.
Sang Wanning: By the way, do you still have the math homework you sent me last time, I can't find the next volume!
Sang Wanning: Why didn't you reply, did you secretly finish your homework behind my back......
Sang Wanning: Oh, oh, I know a little bit about Du Ruo from a friend, you want to hear it...... I'm grass, I'm grass, guess what I just saw! Oh my god I'm getting goosebumps!!
Sang Wanning: [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]
……
Woken up by a flurry of mobile phone prompts, Qiu Xuan stared at the ceiling with her obviously sleepless eyes, and was in a daze, reaching for the mobile phone on the bedside as if she was resigned.
flipped down and found that all of them were messages from Sang Wanning without exception. Qiu Xuan clicked on the picture and yawned while waiting for it to load, but her scattered eyes woke up when she caught a glimpse of the successfully loaded picture.
She sat on the bed and stared at the picture and didn't react for a while, if it wasn't for someone who knew in advance that it was Sang Wanning's kind of personality, this kind of thing could easily be identified as a bad antisocial personality deliberately looking for trouble.
It was an ordinary window that looked like it had been taken in a residential building, reflecting the bright scenery outside. And just behind the half-open and half-hidden curtain, a strange and deformed black shadow that obviously did not belong to the human body loomed. Sang Wanning sent a total of three pictures, each of which was closer to the deformed black shadow, and when the last one was almost pasted on the window.
Is she okay now? Qiu Xuan sat up completely from the bed, and the sentence "Are you okay" was almost sent out, but the next second stopped in another prompt tone.
Sang Wanning: Qiu Xuan! You should believe it, you can see it! Oh my God, I'm hiding under my bed, it's incredible!
"Don't be afraid." Qiu Xuan comforted her, "Are you at home now?" Look for anything like salt or mahogany next to you. ”
Sang Wanning: You don't know that I'm about to explode with excitement right now!!
Qiu Xuan: ?
Sang Wanning: This is the first time I've faced a ghost! Really, when I was a child, my wish was to become a ghost hunter, but no one in my family believed this, they thought I had too much imagination. But it's clear that these things exist in this world, but only those who believe can see them.
You don't type. Qiu Xuan sighed helplessly and replied: Don't you think your current situation is very dangerous, let's avoid this wave first.
Sangwanning: It's gone.
Qiu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about whether to meet her before the summer vacation, according to Sang Wanning's unintentionally revealed personality and hobbies, it was very likely that she would have a different opinion about Qin Xiao's doll.
She edited the message, but she breathed as her phone trembled in the next second.
Sang Wanning: [Picture]
Qiu Xuan slammed her phone away and blinked blankly at the same bright scenery outside the window, the physical strength consumed by one night and the feeling of weakness without eating made her always have the illusion of nausea and vomiting. She closed her eyes again and lay on the bed, her hands clutching the bloodied tooth.
Rolling down to the side of the mobile phone screen, the familiar girl with a slanted ponytail is smiling at the screen. Her body was twisted into the shape of a ball of flesh, and the shattered bones and internal organs were twisted into a knot of limbs, only the bright smile became more and more enthusiastic.
……
"This gentleman, we are the second investigation team of the Municipal Criminal Police Force, since Miss Qiu Xuan is very related to this vicious case, please be sure to come with us."
"Heh, these days, the little mute will also make trouble." Du Ruo, who was woken up by the sound of the siren downstairs early in the morning, yawned and leaned against the wall, and then closed his mouth without saying more under the reminder of Qin Xiao behind him.
"What is the case?" Qin Jiuyuan was still wearing a home suit and looked at the few people in uniform in front of him, the latter also met his gaze with integrity, and said solemnly: "We also just received the alarm information, it is a vicious homicide case, and the murder method is extremely cruel. The deceased was also a student of No. 2 Middle School, and the informant said that the deceased was in contact with Miss Qiu Xuan before his death, and asked for your cooperation. ”
"I ......"
"Let's go." Qiu Xuan walked down the stairs step by step against everyone's instantaneous attention, she had already changed into pajamas and put on a casual dress, as if she had expected it for a long time.
"Wait," Qin Jiuyuan frowned and interrupted, "She's still underage, I'm considered a guardian, I'll go with her." ”
"Then it's a problem for the two of you."
In the police car, Qiu Xuan was checking the known information with the criminal police captain of the second team. She roughly repeated the conversation with Sang Wanning that happened this morning, and then was glanced at by the disapproving gaze of the police officer named "Jiang Yu".
"I know you're young, little friend." Probably not believing that she would be the murderer, the police officer in his thirties and forties said patiently, "There will always be some unrealistic ideas in the minds of little girls of your age, which is normal, but I hope you can distinguish the occasion, okay?" Your classmate, she died, was brutally killed by an unknown person, don't you want to find the real culprit to avenge her? ”
"But the real murderer is not something you or I can deal with." Qiu Xuan looked at him calmly, "I know it's hard to get a materialist to suddenly convert, but that's just the truth. Sang Wanning's and I's mobile phones, you can know it as soon as you check it, and this is all the help I can provide to you. ”
"Ridiculous!"
A middle-aged man sitting in the front row, also in uniform, turned his head, and he looked at Qiu Xuan with a solemn expression. "Just because you're a minor doesn't mean you're completely away from legal liability. If you really believe that it really exists, then the world will be completely chaotic! ”
"It's useless to be somewhere between believing and not believing," Qiu Xuan said, "and the vast majority of people in this world are in this boundary, including you. ”
"It is possible to see only what is completely and completely, as it is to believe in the truth in the universal sense."
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll ......"
"Alright." Qin Jiuyuan turned sideways to block his words, "This has little to do with the case itself, does it, we just need to cooperate with the inspection process and show up, the law also has to talk about evidence." ”
The middle-aged criminal policeman snorted coldly, "Mr. Qin, the education of children from an early age is very important, please fulfill your responsibilities as guardians." ”
"I will educate my children myself, so I don't bother you."
Qiu Xuan glanced out the window, the light of dawn had gradually dissipated, and the fully rising sun wheel baked all the houses on the ground, as if all the ghosts and spirits had nowhere to hide under such a dazzling light.
But in that residential building, the girl's twisted and deformed corpse was starving with its eyelids open, and its bright smile was even brighter than the afterglow outside the window.
The hurried people pulled up the cordon, and Qiu Xuan followed them into the floor where Sang Wanning was. Almost as soon as I stepped into this floor, a fishy smell of blood came to my nose, if I didn't know in advance, I would really think that there was a bloodletting pool here.
The unique heat and dullness of the hot summer air made the bloody smell and the rancid stench of the corpse even more unbearable, and Qiu Xuan even saw a young police officer who had just taken up the internship and couldn't help but vomit outside. The little police officer raised his head with a pale face, and saw Qiu Xuan, who was also standing outside, a little embarrassed to turn away the face he had just vomited.
"If you don't want to go in, don't go." Qin Jiuyuan pulled her.
Qiu Xuan shook her head.
Seeing that he couldn't hold her, the man sighed, walked over and asked the forensic doctor for a mask to put on her carefully. Qiu Xuan followed the crowd into the door of the room and saw that Sang Wanning's mother, who had long been unable to bear it, had passed out and was now being carried away on a stretcher.
Dark red, smelly blood flowed everywhere, and there was almost no place to put your feet. And in the center of the source of the blood, the girl with a slanted ponytail fell there twisted like this, she was like a rag that had absorbed water, and now the "water" in her body was completely wrung out by a force, and the shriveled and twisted body was casually discarded on the floor.
The unbearable rot and blood rushed straight to her nose, Qiu Xuan's face was still bad for a few seconds through the mask, she stood in place and slowed down, waiting until the initial nausea had passed before taking a step forward.
The conscientious forensic doctor was already collecting samples from the corpse, and she squatted a few steps away from the forensic doctor to observe Sang Wanning. The girl's death is no different from the last photo sent, the only difference is ...... Qiu Xuan paused, glanced at the forensic doctor who was carefully recording something, she turned sideways slightly, and the probe quietly hooked something from under the twisted flesh of the corpse.
Hiding the hard object the size of a little finger in his pocket, Qiu Xuan stood up casually and paced to Jiang Yu's side. "When can I go?"
The captain of the criminal police, who was still good-tempered, glanced at her, and suddenly replied, "When you were in the car just now, did you deliberately say those words?" To divert the truth? ”
"Of course not." Qiu Xuan stood side by side with him and looked at the people who were busy collecting evidence, "If you really think it's ridiculous, why don't you try it yourself." Of course, I don't recommend that, because once you actually take that step, you can't go back to square one. Sang Wanning is like that, and so are we. ”
"I have to go, officer." She finally glanced back at Jiang Yu, "If there is anything you need help with, you can call me at any time, and I will cooperate." Now, I'm going to finish my summer homework, goodbye. ”
She packed the chat records and contact information and sent them to Jiang Yu, and after confirming the precautions and follow-up communication, Qiu Xuan pulled Qin Jiuyuan and embarked on the return rental. The two sat in the back seat together, Qin Jiuyuan was silent for a while, and suddenly said as if he was careless: "So you can see 'that kind of thing', right?" ”
"Hmm."
"That's right...... Are you usually scared? ”
"Why, the 'guardians' are going to start caring about the children's education?" Qiu Xuan smiled and reluctantly adjusted her emotions, "Don't believe this, materialism is good, don't go the wrong way." ”
“……”
"Don't go the wrong way......," she murmured, her fingertips chattering for a moment as they touched a new tooth deep in her pocket, then quickly calmed down and put the two strange human teeth together. Qiu Xuan closed his eyes and leaned on Qin Jiuyuan's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
"Hey, have you heard, Sang Wanning is dead!"
"Which? Is that the woman who is twittering with me at the same time? ”
"That's her! I just died this morning, and I heard that the death was so strange that the police and the media suppressed the matter, just saying that it was a murder. It was for this that they took Qiu Xuan away. ”
"Huh? That little mute can also kill, it's not easy. ”
"How is that possible? She didn't kill people, but it seems that she knows something inside. ”
"Heh......"
When Qiu Xuan woke up, she was lying on the small bed in her room, and when she woke up, the two who had been chattering stopped and looked at each other with satisfaction.
"You're back, what do you say? Are they going to take you to jail? Du Ruo skillfully lit a cigarette, and skillfully spit out a smoke ring at her, and bent the corners of his mouth happily when he saw that the other side was choked and frowned.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao opened his mouth as if he disagreed, but he never said anything, just continued: "We have something to discuss with you...... Oh no, it's not a discussion, it's a call to inform you. ”
Between his eyebrows, there was a part of the young man who looked like Qin Jiuyuan's solemn face, "In view of what you did before, you should not go out again except for school in the future, so as not to cause something to discredit the Qin family." By the way, my father won't be at home after school starts, and you don't need to use those crooked brains. ”
Qiu Xuan: "What about others?" ”
"What do you want to do again?" Qin Xiao said angrily: "Take care of your own affairs." ”
"I'm looking for him."
"Hmph, what can you talk about?"
"After sending you back, Uncle Qin got a call and went out, but he said that he would come back for dinner, and now he will come back when the time is calculated." Unexpectedly, it was Du Ruo who spoke out at this time. The girl with the cigarette stared at her thoughtfully, "When did you and Uncle Qin become so acquainted?" ”
"A day ago." Qiu Xuan said casually, she turned over and got out of bed to find her slippers, and said, "Do you have anything else to do besides this?" ”
Qin Xiao frowned, his face was obviously not good-looking, but because Du Ruo didn't speak, he had no choice but to think that he had succeeded in threatening again: "I forgot what I promised us, and I am not allowed to go out." ”
Watching the two teenagers walk out of the door back and forth, Qiu Xuan sighed lightly, bent down and rummaged through the bag on the side to find out what was except for a dozen.
She pulled her slippers and walked straight towards Qin Jiuyuan's study on the third floor, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she collided with the man who was also about to push the door out.
"Are you awake?" Qin Jiuyuan's eyes swept her up and down a few times, "I was about to go to you, let's change the gauze first, so as not to get infected." ”
"I was looking for you too." Qiu Xuan took advantage of the situation to push him into the study, put the things in his hand on the table in front of him, and took out a pen and stuffed it into the man's hand. "Let's get started."
"What is this?"
"Summer Vacation Homework."
