Luo Baifan took a sip of tea and slowly recalled.

Here's the thing, it was the cold winter of 1981, and the Public Security Bureau received a report that the morgue of the city's first affiliated hospital was haunted.

At that time, the conditions of the hospital were very ordinary, most of the mortuaries were small bungalows or basements, very simple, and there were no facilities, basically there were some mortuary beds, the conditions were better, and there were a few corpse freezers.

The First Affiliated Hospital is a relatively large hospital, and their hospital mortuary is actually a bungalow in the courtyard behind the hospital.

On the morning of the report, a family member who was about to go out of the funeral came to collect the body, and the janitor took it to the door of the mortuary early.

As soon as the door was opened, the scene in front of him frightened the old man and paralyzed the family members who led the corpse.

The family members followed behind and didn't know what was happening, and they all looked up, only to see a bunch of corpses standing by the surrounding walls in the small morgue.

Some of the corpses could be vaguely seen with half-open eyes, and some of the corpses were piled up diagonally by the wall with all their limbs unfolded.

Now it's frying, and among the family members who received the corpse, I don't know who screamed, "Haunted!" The people present were in a mess and hurriedly reported the case.

The person who came to deal with the investigation was none other than Luo Baifan, who was just a small policeman at the time, and he was followed by a person who was not wearing a police uniform, silent,

They came to the scene with the uncle who called the police, and when they entered the door, they saw that it was indeed quite infiltrating, the corpse may be stiff to different degrees, leaning against the wall is also in different positions, and some may have been in a car accident, the blood stains on the head and the white brain slag are still there, and the blood on the head is mushy.

"Standing so well, you can't really stand up by yourself, right?" At that time, Luo Baifan was still teasing.

"If they really have the ability, it will be enough for you to drink a few pots." The man standing next to him said.

"Uncle, you haven't lost this key, have you? Did anyone borrow or touch it yesterday? ”

"The key must have been touched by no one, we sometimes have to pick up the corpse in the middle of the night, sleep generally do not take off the clothes, the key is hung on the waist, how can this key be borrowed casually, I have a habit of locking the door, lock the lock, all turn like this, when I opened the lock this morning, the lock has not changed."

The uncle said as he gestured to the appearance of the lock.

At that time, Luo Baifan looked up and observed the entire mortuary, in addition to the door, there was a very small rectangular exhaust outlet at the top of the wall, such a small opening, I am afraid that the rats can come in after they become fine, and it is absolutely impossible for people to get in from such a small place.

In addition to being moved, the corpse was not damaged or lost, and the corpse could not wander around like this by itself, someone must have come in to get it.

So he asked the janitor to put the corpse back on the bed and let the family collect it.

The uncle frowned at the time and asked, "It's easy to put the corpse in place, so how can you explain it to your family!" ”

"That's what you told them, it's investigating now, and if there's news, let the body be buried first."

After all, this uncle did this, and he fiddled with the corpse after a while, but the family came to identify the corpse, which was terrifying.

They have to look at the face of the corpse to discern who it is, if they are lucky, the third one will be found, and if they are unlucky, they will see their relatives after looking around, and after recognizing the corpse, the face of the clear water is iron-blue, and they are almost the same color as the corpse.

A few days have passed, and there is no abnormality, the old man has been working as always, and suddenly one early in the morning, a wave of people leading the corpse came, crying and crying loudly, the uncle has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, leading this group of people to the door of the mortuary again, the door is locked, the lock is the same as in the daytime, and the door is opened.

"My dear mother! Good boy! The old man gasped and exclaimed.

I saw that the mortuary was messy again, this time there were dead people lying everywhere, there were still a few on the wall, and one arm was still on the corpse bed, which was even more terrifying than last time, and the family members behind were not crying, and the suona was not blowing, and they retreated.

After a while, Luo Baifan came to the scene again, looked at the corpses everywhere, did not speak, and looked at the person who followed him last time.

The man shook his head, and Luo Baifan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he, a policeman, is so incompetent and has no judgment, as if he is consulting this person for everything, but his worldview has changed after knowing this person, he has never believed in evil before, but since he experienced the change in his hometown, he has re-realized that there are indeed some things in this world, things that cannot be explained, and his psychology has changed a lot.

If a person is changed too badly by the shock, he will have doubts about his original judgment, which is why he will bring the person next to him to deal with the haunted incident, this person is Yuanyou.

Luo Baifan began to ask the old man again.

"Didn't hear anything at night?"

The uncle blinked his eyes and said, "No, although the room in our duty room is not far from the morgue, if there is not a lot of movement inside, I can't hear it in the house, I can't squat at the door every day and wait for the haunting."

Luo Baifan asked the uncle to put the corpses in place first.

"We're going to have to squat for a few days, and I'm going to see who did it."

Yu Haibo saw Luo Baifan's mysterious narration, and asked cautiously, "Could it really be that the corpse moved by itself?"

Luo Baifan shook his head and continued.

At that time, the conditions were very backward, and if you wanted to arrest people, you had to squat a little.

He and Yuanyou wore military cotton jackets, just squatted outside for a few nights, and didn't find anything abnormal, the weather was cold, and they didn't sleep at night, and the two of them couldn't hold on for a few days, and after three days, on the night when Luo Baifan froze and caught a cold, there was movement in the mortuary in the middle of the night.

"Poof, bang, look forward, stand upright! I called you, did you hear me? ”

Luo Baifan and Yuanyou glanced at each other, and quickly walked to the door, there was a small window on the door, and the window glass was pasted with newspapers, looking from the side, it was dark inside, and it was not clear to see, from the sound it was determined that someone was inside, Luo Baifan was still stunned in his heart, how did such a person enter the mortuary, did he make a hole? Suddenly, there was another voice inside.

"Open your eyes, look at me, take a break, stand upright, one-two-one."

This time, Luo Baifan snapped open the door, quickly pulled the lamp rope on the wall, and the mortuary lit up all of a sudden, a dark and very short person was fiddling with the arm of a corpse, and was flashed by the sudden light, blocking his eyes with his hand, and when he put down his hand to reveal his face, Luo Baifan and Yuanyou were shocked.

The man was short and small, with a smaller head, like a potato on his neck, and his eyes were almost up to his ears, and his mouth was very large, his nose was still flat, and his eyes were glazed.

Luo Baifan said sharply: "How did you get in?"

The little man scratched his head, let go of the corpse, and said in a daze, "Rest, stand upright, stand up!"

Yuanyou cried and laughed: "This is a fool, you take him to the institute first."

After a long time, it turned out that this was a fool from a nearby house, ran out in the middle of the night and walked around, entered the courtyard of the mortuary, and found that there was a small vent on the mortuary, ordinary people could not get in, but he happened to be special, the head was small and the body was small, the strength was particularly large, and he also found a lot of people (corpses) in it, and he could play with him for a while, so he was happy.

After Luo Baifan finished speaking, he shook his head and said: "There were really a lot of strange things like this in that era, but fortunately, they can be explored and understood, after all, they are all man-made, which is not surprising, but in 1988, a case we encountered was not so lucky, and it was the task force I applied for at that time."

After speaking, Luo Baifan glanced at Yu Haibo.

Yu Haibo said with a wistful expression: Actually, I have heard about this case, and I didn't believe it when I heard it before, and I didn't want to listen carefully, we have the belief of the party, so it is impossible to believe it!

Luo Baifan smiled and said, "It's normal not to believe it, after all, you haven't experienced it before."

Yuanyou looked at the clock on the wall.

"Almost, come on."

Several people got up from the couch and walked into the room.

The night is thick, the wind blows away a lot of haze, the moonlight shines coldly on the windowsill, and the lights are not turned on in the house.

Yuanyou poured the millet into the bowl, and took out a miniature white flag, the surface of the banner was painted with a square pattern, the head of the banner was pasted with a golden hook dragon and phoenix, and there were about thirteen sword-shaped spikelets hanging densely at the bottom, he took out a soft pen from the bag, wrote some red seal characters on the flag, and then inserted the small flag into the rice.

Yuanyou paid the seal in his hand, whispered something in his mouth, and looked out the window and waited.

Luo Baifan, Yu Haibo and Zhong Ye didn't dare to come out, it was quite strange to see this scene in the middle of the night, and they were fiddled with by Yuanyou, creating an atmosphere that was even more tense and mysterious.

Just when everyone was thinking about what the little flag was for, suddenly the tassel of the little flag moved without wind, Yuan You had seen it with his residual vision, but his eyes were still staring out of the window, a figure fell from the sky, and fell down with a breath, the speed of electric light and flint, when passing through the window, the small flag turned in the bowl, and in the Buddha shrine on the side, something emitted a glimmer of light, and these people standing behind took a breath of cold air.

Yuanyou heard the muffled sound of "poof", and then leaned forward, and looked downstairs, there was nothing, he pondered, and suddenly looked sideways at the Buddhist shrine in the dark.

There was movement in this shrine just now, and the glimmer of light was by no means an ordinary thing.

"What is the offering in this shrine?" Yuanyou asked.

"It's Guanyin Bodhisattva, what's the problem?" Zhong Ye wondered.

At this time, Yu Haibo anxiously interjected: "Master Yuan, how is it, is it my son?"

"I'll explain your son's story to you later."

Yuanyou didn't answer Yu Haibo first, but asked Zhong Ye to turn on the light, approach, and take a closer look at this Bodhisattva.

This is a small statue of the Bodhisattva, like about five inches high, the material is like iron, black and red, although it is not big, it is very exquisite, the crown on the head, the face is wide and plump, the eyes are slightly drooping, the face is kind, the body is wearing a silk scarf, the arc of the clothes is smooth, the skirt is wide and close, and the knot sits on the lotus pedestal, this kind of craftsmanship has been quite good, and it is lifelike.

"Judging from this appearance, there is nothing suspicious, simple and solemn, matching the righteousness and brightness, how can you see the yin!" Yuanyou pondered in his heart, and then asked, "How long has this Bodhisattva been back?" Where, please? ”

While speaking, he picked it up, flipped it to the bottom of the seat, a particularly small line of inscriptions, engraved "Ming Yongle seven years...", the words behind it are corroded and oxidized, and it is not very real.

Zhong Ye replied: "It's been about half a month, and I bought it at a stall in Shanxi."

When Yuanyou heard that he bought it, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Ye, "The stall?" Has this Bodhisattva statue been identified by someone? I don't think it's the real thing. ”
