Chapter 33: The Shadow of Evil
Dong Xie was sitting in a Starbucks coffee shop near the bank where his cousin Yu Li worked.
The location of this store is very good, there are both outdoor and indoor seating, because it is located in the downtown business district, many white-collar workers sit here to drink coffee.
He picked up his phone and looked at the time, and it was soon time for his cousin's lunch break at the bank where he worked.
Along the way, he thought about it for a long time, but he just couldn't figure out who the other party was.
Relatives can naturally be completely ruled out, even if it is a distant relative, then he should have received the news of such a vicious case. And Dong Xie's social circle is not wide, perhaps because he was repeatedly bullied when he was a student, he became more and more unsociable, none of his former college classmates had contact, and Zhao Qishan, Tang Yun and others had always been in contact with Zhao Qishan, Tang Yun and others when they were in college, and there was no contact among the girls except Xie Ruoni, and I believe that even if they meet again, most of them will not recognize each other. After graduating from university, he has been a professional online writer, and he has not met colleagues he knows in reality, and even his editor-in-charge is a man.
So...... Is it an apartment resident? This seems to be the most plausible explanation at the moment. But in the last few bloody meetings, no one has gone missing. Generally speaking, the meeting will elect representatives from a few floors and go back to convey the spirit of the meeting to each resident, and if someone goes missing, Qin Ziyuan and Mo Yuan will soon receive the news. Especially for new residents, they will focus on monitoring to prevent them from doing irrational things.
Do you want to talk to Mo Yuan about this matter? However, the Mu Ziyi incident somewhat damaged Dong Xie's sense of trust in Mo Yuan. Such a big thing, Mo Yuan has been hiding himself until now, which makes him feel uncomfortable. You must know that Mu Ziyi can be said to be a time bomb in the apartment, once detonated, the consequences are unimaginable, and every resident has the right to know about it. With this precedent, it was difficult for Dong Xie to guarantee whether Mo Yuan was still hiding something from him.
And...... Don't say? Whatever you don't say, there must be an object after it. That is, he cannot tell a certain person or group of people about something. If the apartment is involved, then the murderer of the woman must be an evil spirit. Her death is like an evil spirit trying to extinguish her mouth.
"She wanted to come to me in a taxi and tell me something very important, and she knew that I was a regular customer of the quiche stall owner's side. Before she died, she wanted the owner of the egg cake stall to tell me something important. ”
The owner of the quiche stand might tell the police that he was the dong xie. However, under the influence of the apartment, the police will not come to him for questioning. There is no need to worry about this. Instead, he wanted the police to come to him, and there must be information on the police side that he didn't know.
"Although the man is dead, he is just headless, and the body is well preserved. Fingerprints and DNA can be compared, so that her identity may be found. Dong Xie began to think about how to get information from the police: "Although there are some methods, if I act rashly, it will be troublesome if the police suspect that I am a murderer." Condominiums can influence the police, but there is a limit to how much of this impact can be. ”
"Dong Xie, I'm sorry, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
At this time, he heard his cousin's voice, and when he looked back, it was his cousin Yu Li.
Yu Li sat opposite Dong Xie and said, "I'm sorry, the bank is too busy......"
"It's okay, I didn't sit for long, what do you want to drink?"
"Whatever."
So Dong Xie went to the counter first and ordered two sandwiches and two nonfat lattes. After paying, he took the receipt, walked back to his seat and sat down, and asked, "Cousin, what do you want to say to me?" ”
Dong Xie looked nervous, and his hands swayed unnaturally on the table.
Yu Li looked even more cramped and uneasy than Dong Xie, she cleared her throat and said, "Well, Dong Xie, in fact, I was also distressed for a long time not long ago, and I don't know how to tell you about this matter. After all, the whole thing, it's so ridiculous, it feels so unreal right now. ”
Her remarks made Dong Xie feel more and more wrong the more he listened. It also made the uneasy premonition in his heart even stronger.
"Say it, cousin. Even if you tell me that there are evil spirits in this world, I believe it. ”
Hearing this, Yu Li showed a shocked look, and the whole person leaned towards the table and said, "Dong Xie, you won't know what I'm going to say to you, right?" ”
Still...... Really?
Dong Xie subconsciously licked his lips to ease his uneasiness. He felt even more nervous now than he had ever been when he had executed the Blood Letter, and he couldn't guess what his cousin would say to him.
"How do I know, cousin, don't sell it, say it quickly!"
"Good...... I know. Listen up, Dong Xie. Do you remember the night I held a wake for my grandmother? ”
"Well, remember, what's wrong?" Dong Xie nodded. Yu Li's grandmother, that is, Dong Xie's grandmother.
"I found a photo. Well, Dong Xie, listen to me first, when I saw this photo, I went to ask my dad first. Grandma was in great grief because of the death of your aunt, that is, your mother. When your mother took you to Nireloga Park, she took a lot of pictures with her camera. Later, when my grandmother was sorting out the relics, she saved the camera, but she didn't dare to wash out the photos inside, for fear of seeing things and thinking about people. ”
When he heard "Nilai Luojia Paradise", Dong Xie's heartbeat began to accelerate sharply.
His whole body began to tremble, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"Grandma, she ......"
At that moment, the counter shouted, "No. 412, your coffee and sandwich are ready!" ”
"You go on, cousin, how is grandma?" Where can Dong Xie take care of any coffee sandwich now, and he is extremely eager.
Yu Li put her hands on the table and clasped them tightly, bit her lips, and replied after a full five seconds: "Do you remember when grandma started to become delirious?" ”
"This ...... I remember it was the twentieth anniversary of my mother's death, right? ”
"I heard from my dad that my grandmother thought that maybe one day she would print the pictures inside, so she developed the film and sealed it for preservation. On the twentieth anniversary of her aunt's death, she planned to print the film inside. After all, it was the last image my aunt left in this world. Grandma did this completely herself, without pretending to others. As a result, when my grandmother came back alone that night and put the developed photos in the album, it became very eccentric. The next day, she had a high fever that never went away, and after a week when the fever finally subsided, she began to talk nonsense and became delirious, and this state was maintained until the time of her death. ”
Dong Xie immediately remembered that on the day his grandmother died, she suddenly returned to her light, sat up directly, and then said to herself: "Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Then he stopped breathing.
Subsequently, Yu Li took out a photo.
"Now that I think about it, the reason why my grandmother has a fever is probably because of this photo. This photo is what I found from my grandmother's relics on the night of her vigil. ”
In the photo, Dong Xie and his mother are standing in front of the vampire castle in Nilailoga Paradise, but behind them......
Dong Xie quickly "brushed" and stood up!
Behind them, stood a pale-faced, pupilless, translucent body, empty below the knees!
"It's the same as that Hawaiian photo you posted on Moments." Yu Yan also stood up and said: "And this old photo, I have also checked, and there has never been a PS, not to mention that there was no PS technology in that era." Dong Xie, I'm thinking, you can find a temple to exorcise evil spirits, right? ”
Dong Xie trembled and picked up the photo with his hand, staring at the evil spirit above his body like smoke, his eyes could almost erupt flames.
At this time, the waiter walked up to the table with coffee and sandwiches and said to them, "Well, Mr. and Miss, the coffee you ordered ......"
"Sure enough, it'......"
The waiter was frightened by Dong Xie's eyes, and after putting down the coffee and sandwiches, he quickly walked away.
He clutched the photo in front of him and said to Yu Li: "Cousin, can you give me this photo first?" ”
"Yes, you can ......"
"Okay, cousin, I'll go first...... Get back in touch! ”
Then, Dong Xie grabbed the photo and rushed out of the café!
He took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed Dong Ning's number, and after connecting, he said loudly: "Ah Ning! Are you in the apartment? Okay, listen to me, don't leave, I'll be back now! I have something important to show you! ”
