Volume 5 The Old Security Guard of the Community Chapter 6 Self-immolation under the slab
The sound under the slate gradually disappeared, and the smoke coming out of the cracks in the slate gradually dissipated, and then there was a burst of scorching smell, Xiao Yan, who was frightened and had no master, finally came back to her senses, she took out her mobile phone with trembling hands, nervously called the police, and then dialed the phone of the security department...
A few minutes later, the security guard Xiao Zhao rushed over with several security guards, and saw Xiao Yan's pale face and depressed appearance, so he asked: "Xiao... What's wrong with you, Director? As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhao also smelled the strong scorching smell, quickly covered his mouth and nose, and continued: "What kind of smell is this?" Do you guys smell it? ”
Everyone nodded, Xiao Yan didn't answer, but his eyes were straight, and he pointed to the stone slab on the dry well with trembling hands, Xiao Zhao's face changed suddenly when he saw this, and he asked nervously: "Director Xiao, is it possible that under this slate... ”
Xiao Yanmu nodded solemnly, Xiao Zhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, beckoned to a few people, and walked to the stone slab together. The closer they got, the more obvious the scorching smell became, and everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses. Xiao Yan whispered: "Put... Let's lift the slate. ”
Xiao Zhao listened, suddenly his face was embarrassed, he didn't know what was going on under the slate, but judging from Xiao Yan's expression, nine times out of ten it was a murderous thing, although his face was embarrassed, but after all, it was the order of his superiors, so he had to wave his hand and let several security guards come over together to prepare to lift the slate. The slate is not heavy, and one person can lift it on weekdays, but at this moment, perhaps because of nervousness, it seems extremely difficult for several people to carry it.
"Click", the slate was slowly removed, the situation under the slate gradually revealed, Xiao Zhao unconsciously glanced down, suddenly frightened limbs weak, hands loosened, fell to the ground, hands on the ground, and quickly retreated a little, fortunately the slate is not heavy, and several other people caught the slate, otherwise the slate must have fallen to the ground... Xiao Zhao's screams naturally frightened several other people, and they also looked under the slate with frightened faces, and almost at the same time were so frightened that they let go of their hands, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and the slate "snapped" and fell at the mouth of the well, cracking into two sections... The situation in the well was completely exposed, Xiao Yan took a closer look, she didn't even have time to scream, she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, her whole body was soft, and her whole body fell directly to the ground...
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yan slowly woke up, opened her eyes dimly, squatting in front of her was the security guard Xiao Zhao, he was also pale, trembling, at this time the surroundings were already surrounded by people, the police, forensic doctors were investigating the scene in an orderly manner... Xiao Yan's eyes returned to the dry well, she suddenly remembered the scene she saw before she fainted, she couldn't help screaming, and quickly shrank back, wanting to stay as far away from the well as possible! Her scream startled Xiao Zhao beside her again, he quickly turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao... Director, it's okay, the police have arrived, they're investigating... ”
Xiao Yan didn't listen carefully to Xiao Zhao's words, and her attention was all on that dry well at the moment! The dry well has long been out of water, and it is only more than a meter deep, and an adult standing in it can't completely straighten up, but... The moment the slate was opened just now, Xiao Yan could see clearly that there was a charred and blackened corpse below, and one hand was dragging the iron hook under the slate... There is not much hair left on his body, but after the eyelids are burned out, the eyeballs are directly exposed, when Xiao Yan leans over, his eyeballs are staring straight at Xiao Yan, and the air is filled with the unpleasant smell of scorched corpses, no wonder Xiao Yan will be exhausted at that moment and faint, this suicide is in front of her eyes, and it is under her, only separated by a thin stone slab... The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead...
With the support of the security guard, Xiao Yan dragged her weak legs back to the office, and as soon as she entered the office, she saw Mr. Li with an anxious face! Li is always the boss of this property company, he is busy with work on weekdays, and since the property company was handed over to Xiao Yan, he has been there once or twice in more than a month, but even he came here today, and it is expected that the successive events really made him feel uneasy.
Seeing Xiao Yan return to the office, Mr. Li hurriedly got up and motioned for her to sit on the sofa, and the security guard turned around and went out with the door when he saw this. Mr. Li sat down and asked eagerly, "Xiao Yan, what's going on these days?" How so? ”
Seeing Mr. Li, Xiao Yan's tense nerves in the past few days finally couldn't bear it, and suddenly cried out with a "wow", and suddenly tears rained down, Mr. Li saw this and hurriedly handed over the tissue, and stepped forward to pat Xiao Yan's shoulder for comfort. After a while, Xiao Yan finally calmed down, so she sobbed and said, "Mr. Li, you must believe me this time... ”
Mr. Li didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and quickly took over the words and said, "I must believe you, you speak slowly." ”
Xiao Yan wiped her tears again, tried to calm her emotions, and then looked up at Mr. Li, as if she had made up a lot of determination in her heart, so she slowly said: "A week ago, one of the owners of Building 14 committed suicide, and the death was extremely strange, it is said that it was cursed by gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and then the first suicide was drowned in the water, symbolizing water; Immediately afterwards, the second hanged from a metal curtain rod, symbolizing gold; Today this one was killed by fire again ... There are two more, who must have died of earth and wood! And these owners all live in 14 buildings... Judging from the surveillance video, they all behaved strangely before committing suicide... ”
Xiao Yan held back the words in her heart for many days, and finally said it all at this moment, and Mr. Li, who was sitting opposite, also turned pale when he heard it, Xiao Yan has always been a godless ghostist, but the continuous suicide can't help but make a huge change in her worldview, she knows that the police will never believe her words, but now it is Mr. Li, she can finally tell her true thoughts and discernment.
After hearing this, Mr. Li couldn't help but light a cigarette and was silent for a long time, it was obvious from his fingers that he played the ashes of the cigarette, his hands were also slightly trembling, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Finally, Mr. Li spoke: "Xiao Yan, who told you these words?" ”
Xiao Yan couldn't help but be silent, she knew that if an old security guard told her, then Mr. Li would definitely question these words, and then doubt her judgment, and in the end she wouldn't believe her at all, so she hesitated again and again, she had to bite the bullet and say: "Li... In the end, these are who I am ... Inferred. ”
Mr. Li snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, glanced at Xiao Yan, and said slowly: "Xiao Yan, I know that you have been under a lot of mental pressure recently, but we still have to believe in science, these things may just be a coincidence... ”
"But they all live nearby... Xiao Yan knew that Mr. Li didn't believe it, so he hurriedly and anxiously explained, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Mr. Li raised his hand to interrupt and continued: "Besides... You think about it, if you break out and haunt it, how will this community be managed in the future, and how will the houses developed later be sold? You have to take care of the big picture! ”
Mr. Li said, Xiao Yan didn't know how to answer for a while, Mr. Li continued to slow down, and said: "Xiao Yan, since the matter has happened, let the police investigate, we will cooperate, but try to block the news as much as possible to minimize the impact... Also, why don't you take a few days off and adjust? ”
Xiao Yan was about to answer, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Mr. Li looked up and said, "Please come in!" ”
It was the staff of the office who came in, he glanced at Xiao Yan, and Mr. Li saw this and said, "It's okay, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
The person who came pursed his lips, and said with a somewhat uneasy face: "The deceased who self-immolated just now has been found out, judging from the monitor, early in the morning he took a big bottle in his hand, smiled, and went to the grove all the way to himself, and then lifted the slate himself and drilled down... Until Director Xiao got there, there was no one else, and the bottle in his hand should be filled with gasoline... ”
Mr. Li's face was solemn, and he continued to ask: "Is the deceased the owner?" ”
The visitor nodded and replied, "Yes, I live on the second floor of Building 14... ”
When he heard the words 14 buildings, Xiao Yan couldn't help but tremble all over, and quickly turned his head to Mr. Li, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Li, again... Owners of the same building again... This is no coincidence ... ”
Mr. Li hurriedly raised his head to interrupt Xiao Yan's speech, but just as he was about to speak, the security guard Xiao Zhao ran to the door of the office out of breath again, and shouted loudly: "Oh no! Oh no! It's going to happen again! ”
After hearing this, Mr. Li frowned, and scolded loudly: "What's the matter? So flustered! ”
Xiao Zhao was drunk like this, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, he looked at Mr. Li, and then at Xiao Yan, and said in a trembling voice: "Building 14... On the roof, someone wants... Jump! Let's go check it out! ”
"What?" After hearing this, Mr. Li suddenly became a little excited, and immediately straightened up and continued: "Lead the way, go and see!" This can't happen again! ”
Several people ran from the office to Building 14 out of breath, and there were already many people around the downstairs, including the police who came to deal with the self-immolation incident this morning, all of them raised their heads and looked at the roof, only to see a man standing on the roof at this time, wearing blue pajamas, dancing with a smile on the eaves of the roof, the shape is very strange, and there is a danger of falling down at any time!
Seeing this, Mr. Li, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhao hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, and Mr. Li saw a security guard in the crowd and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”
The security guard saw that it was the boss, and hurriedly replied: "The people upstairs have been up for more than ten minutes, and the door to the roof of the building has been locked by him from the inside, and he has been jumping like this, no matter how we shout him, there is no response... ”
