Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Secret of Building 17
The sudden knock on the door made the headmaster tremble.
"Who?"
"I'm Lao Pan!" A slightly muffled voice sounded outside the door, and through the sound, I could hear a solemn smell.
The headmaster quickly got up to open the door, ushered the man into the office, and then closed the door and locked it.
The person who came was wearing a police uniform, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a natural sharpness between his eyebrows, and he looked like an old policeman, but at this moment, he was also like the principal, with a sad face.
"Where are the people?" When Pan came in, he first glanced at me, a little surprised that I was in the office, but he didn't pay attention to me, but whispered directly to the principal.
The principal pointed to the sofa on the side, and Lao Pan turned around and saw Xiao Ling lying on the sofa.
Lao Pan's eyebrows moved and he walked over, and after taking a closer look at Xiao Ling's corpse, the expression on his face slowly became heavy: "It's exactly the same!" ”
"Yes, Pan, what now? This is already the second one, have you found a clue over there? The headmaster frowned and said to the policeman who had inspected the body.
Lao Pan turned around, shook his head, then took out another cigarette and lit it, took a hard breath and said: "No, after the autopsy, it was found that there were no external wounds, and there was no abnormality in the organs in the body, which was exactly the same as the original situation." ”
Through their conversation, I can know that this should not be the first time these two people have dealt with each other, and the relationship between the two should be very familiar, and the meaning of his words seems to be that Song Liang and Xiao Ling are not the only deceased.
However, the policeman named Lao Pan also said that Song Liang's body had been autopsied, but the results of the autopsy did not find anything abnormal in the internal organs, which surprised me.
Usually the person killed by the evil spirit, even if he can keep a complete corpse, then his heart can easily see the problem, because no matter what, the deceased will be overly frightened before death, even if there is no wound on the body, the heart cannot be the same as a normal person, at least it can be seen that it is a myocardial infarction and other symptoms.
If there is no problem with the heart, then even I don't know what method that female ghost used to kill Song Liang and Xiao Ling.
"And what do you decide to do about it?" The headmaster asked again.
"It's also a headache for the boss, but now it's clear that this is not a criminal case, and by the way, the news of the student's death hasn't spread." Old Pan took another puff of the flue.
"No, at present, only this Qin Guang classmate knows among the students, and then I and a dormitory teacher know." The principal looked at me and said to Pan.
"That's good, this matter must be kept secret, tell me from above, let you find a master to take a look at this matter and see if it can be solved as soon as possible, otherwise once the news spreads, not only your school, but also the society will have a great impact, and at that time, it will be difficult for us to explain." Lao Pan nodded, looked at me again, and said.
"I was about to tell you about this, this student of ours is not an ordinary person, he has a way to solve this matter." The headmaster pointed at me.
"Huh?"
Hearing the principal's words, Lao Pan looked at me, with some doubt in his eyes, and stared for a moment before saying, "You can really catch... That one? ”
Lao Pan's question made me feel a little funny, and he also knew that this thing must not have been done by people, but because of his faith, he did not explicitly say the word ghost.
I nodded affirmatively, and said, "Yes, but before then, you have to tell me about Dormitory 17." ”
Hearing my words, Lao Pan set his eyes on the principal, and the two glanced at each other and nodded to each other.
Seeing the actions of the two, I thought to myself, this policeman also knows about Building 17? Looking at it this way, I can be sure that Song Liang is definitely not the first person to die.
"Tell him, it's not going to be a problem." Lao Pan extinguished the cigarette butt and said to the principal.
I nodded in agreement, and it was clear from their solemn expressions that Building 17 had a story!
"After you know about this incident, it will inevitably cause panic among other students, and I hope you don't tell anyone else." The principal said to me solemnly.
Then, with a somewhat frightened expression, the principal slowly told me about the past of the 17th dormitory.
It turned out that the university where I was located was established 18 years ago (the year I was born), and the school was planned to develop into a comprehensive university from the beginning, so the infrastructure was well built, and many teaching buildings and dormitories were built.
At that time, the principal was just an ordinary professor here, and Lao Pan was just an ordinary police officer.
In the beginning, Building 17 was indeed a women's dormitory, but because the school was not too well-known at the beginning, the number of students was not large, so Building 17 was always vacant.
Thirteen years after the school was founded, the number of students increased, and Building 17 was put into use.
In the beginning, Building 17 was occupied by girls, but since students started moving in, strange and terrible things have happened.
Since then, there have been incidents of student deaths every year in the school, and each of the deceased looks exactly the same, they all die with sweet smiles on their faces, and they all have a common feature - dark circles under their eyes!
If everyone who died looked the same after death, then I can understand the reason for the dark circles under their eyes, because they must have not slept for three days before they died.
With the increasing number of deceased, this incident shocked the entire police station at that time, but the police investigated and investigated, and there was no clue to solve the case, and even if the autopsy was conducted, no valuable findings could be made.
Considering that once this matter is made public, it will have a devastating impact on the school, and of course, it will also have a great negative impact on the police department and even the entire West Market.
They completely blocked all news about this matter, not letting outsiders know, and the identity of college students at that time had a very important position in society.
So almost no one knows about the 17th dormitory building.
The principal also said that before this, the deceased were all girls, and not only the deceased appeared in Building 17, but also in other dormitory buildings, and this kind of death occasionally occurred.
I was amazed at that!
If there are student deaths in other dormitories, wouldn't that break a certain pattern?
I asked the principal if there was any particular pattern in terms of time or frequency.
The principal thought about it carefully before telling me that he and Lao Pan had also considered this question I raised, but they did not find any fixed pattern, sometimes, students would die every week, but sometimes, new deaths would appear after a few months.
I looked down and pondered for a moment before asking again what was the shortest time between deaths.
After thinking for a long time, the principal and Lao Pan said that the shortest interval was a week.
This is the only pattern I have found in this kind of bizarre death event information so far, and the other patterns have basically been broken.
I had wondered if this was happening because I was on the sixth floor, and that had already been broken when the principal told me that there had been dead people in other dorm buildings.
Later, with the accumulation of time, the number of students who died in the school added up to nearly 1,000.
However, the matter was jointly kept secret by the police and the school, and it was not leaked.
Lao Pan was also the first police officer to come into contact with this matter, and he handled the future affairs on behalf of the police, so he became friends with the principal, and was specially assigned by the police station to follow up on this matter.
Those who know the whole thing know that this is definitely not an ordinary criminal case, and this matter has been characterized as a supernatural event within the police department.
The headmaster, they had also asked some people from the Taoist Xuanmen to come and see, but they didn't find any ghosts, which made things even more weird.
After the headmaster finished telling me about Building 17, my heart became heavy, and I was even more sure that this haunting thing was not ordinary, but I had not yet found the most important part of the whole thing.
There doesn't seem to be a pattern to the deceased except that they all look the same after death, and it's a mystery why those dead people are being approached, and I always feel that something important has not yet been discovered.
"Qin Guang, we have told you all the things we know about Building 17, are you sure that you can solve this matter?" After the headmaster finished telling me, he asked me with unspeakable fear on his face, and he asked me a little nervously.
"I'm not sure, because the people who have seen that female ghost are already dead, and I don't know how to contact her yet." I was still thinking about how to meet the female ghost, and I replied subconsciously.
"Female ghost!? What female ghost? ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the principal and Lao Pan shouted at the same time in shock with shocked faces.
I raised my head suspiciously and looked at the two of them whose faces had changed drastically: "What? You don't know? ”
The two of them shook their heads blankly, and after glancing at each other, they looked at me suspiciously, indicating that they did not understand what I was talking about.
Now it's my turn to wonder how they didn't even know about the girl who appeared on the sixth floor after witnessing the death of so many students.
My mind raced, and I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you remember if there were any strange things that happened in Building 17 or in the school before the first deceased appeared?" ”
The headmaster was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying, "No." ”
"No?" When I heard this answer, I was a little disappointed and thought to myself, could I have guessed wrong?
"No, there was another incident before!"
At this time, Lao Pan on the side suddenly shouted, as if he had thought of something.
