09 Shroud

Have I ever been here before?

This was the third time Kanazawa had asked me this, but this time I didn't shake my head as decisively as I had on the previous two occasions.

I looked at the frozen picture in a daze, I didn't know what to say for a while, and I even questioned myself in my heart, have I really never been here? But who is the person hiding in the woods in the video?

And I finally understood why Kanazawa wanted to investigate those two cases together, and said that it was because of me, because I was the co-occurrence of these two cases!

Seeing that I didn't speak, Kanazawa reached out and moved the handcuffs, so I hurriedly said, "I know you don't believe it, but I really don't remember being here, and I don't remember it at all!" ”

Then he pointed to the video, and then to the woods not far away, and said to me, "Think about it again, do you want to go to that woods and see if you can think of something." ”

I know that Kanazawa is giving me a chance, he definitely doesn't believe in a normal person with amnesia or something, he must think that I am still stubborn and wants me to admit it.

But I really couldn't admit it, so I stared at the video and wanted to find out what was wrong, I just wanted to make sure if this person was me, or to see if the video was synthetic.

Suddenly, my brain felt like it had been hit, and I really found something that was beneficial to me, so I immediately said to Kanazawa excitedly: "This, this person is not me, he is pretending to be me!" ”

Kanazawa looked at me and didn't speak, but asked me to tell me what I had found.

So I pointed to the video screen and said to him: "Look at this person in the grove, although he looks like me, but because of the light, and he doesn't show his face completely, in fact, I can only say that he looks like me." ”

After a pause, I continued: "It's hard to find two people who look like each other in this world, but it's actually quite easy to say. And more importantly, the reason why I say this person is not me is because he has the clothes on him, and I don't have them! ”

Yes, I have never worn this dress on him, it is a cyan Tang suit, there are many white spots on it, it looks very quaint, anyway, I can't wear such old-fashioned clothes.

Suddenly, I thought of something, and my heart jumped, and then my whole body felt bad, and the wind was blowing in my back.

Because I remember that this is not a Tang costume, this is a shroud! This guy looks a lot like me, and he's wearing a shroud.

Then I didn't know what to say, and Kanazawa broke the silence and said, "And then? If you're really sure that you've never been here, it's either someone pretending to be you, as you say, or you've forgotten, and if you do, how can you be sure you're not wearing this shroud? ”

When Kanazawa said this, I was speechless, and his logic was indeed correct.

Then he continued to say to me: "So I'm going to take you for a psychiatric evaluation, and I have already made an appointment with a psychiatric doctor for you, do you have any objections?" ”

I was in a daze, and I shook my head.

Then Kanazawa started the car, we left the crematorium, kept driving, drove for about half an hour, before arriving at the destination, our mental hospital here, standing at the door of the mental hospital, my whole person suddenly became a little resistant, to be honest, I didn't want to go in, I was very scared in my heart, I was really afraid that I would somehow become a psychopath with a split personality.

But I had to face this, so I followed Kanazawa in, and instead of going to the psychiatric ward, we went to the diagnosis room and met with a specialist named Zhang Wentong.

Zhang Wentong is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a fat body and a kind smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha. Somehow, when he looked at me, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and I felt that his eyes were strange, as if he knew me.

Jin Ze introduced me to Zhang Wentong, roughly explained my possible situation, and asked Zhang Wentong to do a detailed psychiatric evaluation of me.

Then Zhang Wentong took me to another room, where there were some instruments that I had never seen before, which should be used for identification, and this also made the results more convincing.

But after the two of me sat down, Zhang Wentong said something inexplicable as soon as he came up, but it shocked me inexplicably.

He said: "Chen Mu, do you remember me, do you still want to change back to the way you used to be? ”

Listening to his words, I opened my mouth wide and was dumbfounded, and I asked him what he meant, if he knew me.

But he opened his mouth and laughed, laughing unbridledly, as if mocking me.

Just when I felt very uncomfortable and couldn't stand it anymore, he suddenly restrained his smile and said, "Okay, this is my opening remarks, don't be nervous, let's officially start now." ”

I was relieved to see him say this, it turned out that he was deliberately provoking my emotions and making me enter the state of identification faster, which scared me, I really thought that he had some ulterior secret with me.

Then we started, he asked me some questions, all kinds of questions, I answered him truthfully, I didn't believe in hypnosis in this world before, but in answering his questions, there were a few moments when I did feel like I was in a trance, my head was dizzy, as if I was controlled by him.

After asking some questions, he put on me something like a helmet, which had a lot of wires on it, and was supposed to monitor the activity of my cerebral cortex.

After putting it on, Zhang Wentong asked me to close my eyes and told me to close my eyes and recuperate, as if I was sleeping, I did so, but I didn't fall asleep, but the whole person relaxed a lot.

After this test, Kanazawa was called in by Zhang Wentong, and we did the last test, polygraph.

This time it was Kanazawa who tested me, I put on a polygraph cap and had a device on my finger, and Kanazawa still asked familiar questions, such as whether I had been to a funeral home or something. And I naturally followed my heart, and I said no.

Then the test was over, and I waited for Dr. Zhang Wentong to give the results like a child waiting for the test results.

In the end, I breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Wentong said that I was a normal person, not mentally ill, nor split personality, and not lying. However, he said that I have a borderline personality deficit, which is only a slight mental illness tendency, and in our stressful society, a considerable number of people have this tendency, and as an online writer, I have a tendency to think about my own world because I have been in front of the computer for a long time, and it is normal to have this tendency.

But my borderline personality is not normal, Zhang Wentong said that I have a little hysteria, to put it bluntly, I may have sleepwalking. We often hear about sleepwalking, and occasionally we hear that there are people around us who sleepwalk. But Zhang Wentong said that in fact, sleepwalking syndrome generally only occurs in children between the ages of 6 and 12, and adults will not rise to the level of hysteria even if they sleepwalk, at most they will talk in their dreams or sit up from bed. But I'm different, my sleepwalking is similar to that of a child.

It scared me because I heard my dad tell me before that I was sleepwalking when I was a kid, and they said that when I was a kid, they couldn't find me at night and finally found me at the door of the pigsty, and I stood at the door of the pigsty and smirked at the pigs and scared them.

But when I grew up, I didn't have such an exaggerated sleepwalking situation anymore, I always thought I was better, but now that I think about it, it's probably because I live alone, and Fang Lin doesn't live with me, so no one has ever found out that I still sleepwalk.

So my heart hung up completely, could it be that the person in the video screen that Kanazawa showed me was really me, and I was sleepwalking?

Could some of the other cases also be related to my sleepwalking?

I was nervous and scared, my palms were sweaty, and Kanazawa was obviously interested in these questions as well, and he asked Zhang Wentong, "Doctor Zhang, if an adult sleepwalks, is it possible for him to kill people in his dreams?" ”

Zhang Wentong suddenly looked up at me, he was still smiling, he smiled and said: "This is unlikely, killing people is a manual work, as long as the victim resists, the sleepwalking person should be awakened." And when killing people, people's mood swings are very large, and with such big mood swings, people have long woken up from sleepwalking. ”

Zhang Wentong's answer relieved me, even if I really sleepwalked, I wouldn't have become a criminal in my dream.

Eventually, we left the asylum, and Kanazawa sent me home, and on the way he told me that although I ruled out a split personality, if I really had sleepwalking, then the person in the video must be me, and even if I wasn't a suspect, I must have something to do with the case, so he told me to turn on the camera and notify him as soon as there was a situation.

Then Kanazawa left, and I went home alone, I was in a very mixed mood, half scared and half relieved, I didn't know what state I was in at the time, anyway, it all felt like a dream, and I suddenly felt that I didn't know myself well enough.

I just lay on the bed like that, because the hole in the ceiling had been plugged by Kanazawa, so I wasn't so afraid, and although I didn't dare to sleep, I soon fell asleep.

After falling asleep, probably because there were so many things that happened on this day, I was too nervous, so I had a nightmare, I dreamed that I was arguing with Fang Lin in a dream, and the reason for the quarrel was that she refused to make love to me, and because I was so excited, I strangled her to death as soon as I missed.

I woke up from this terrible dream that I had, and when I woke up, I was covered in beads of sweat on my forehead, and my whole body was soaked, and I was covered in a cold sweat.

So I was going to take a shower, but when I opened the closet to get my clothes, something happened that creeped me out.

I opened the closet and a piece of clothing fell out of it.

A cyan shroud with blood on it.
