Chapter 291: Puppet
"And then I just... Caught some small animals and threw them under the bed. The animals were alive until I went to work during the day, and when I came back from work in the evening, I found them dead. Yu Zheng's eyes were full of fear, and his throat rolled and he continued,
"I don't know how the animals died, because there were no wounds on them. I thought that man would never pester me again, but I didn't expect his appetite to grow bigger and bigger..."
"Mr. Yu," Bai Xiaohan temporarily interrupted the man's recollection and asked, "What is the voice and tone of the man in your dream?" ”
"His voice," Yu Zheng tried to recall, "it's a bit nice, I can't describe it, if it weren't for something terrible, it would make people want to listen to it." ”
Bai Xiaohan nodded slightly: "You continue." ”
"At first he only asked for living animals, sparrows or mice, and after a few days he offered to let me catch stray cats, and then he even offered to lure living people into the apartment." Yu Zheng's hand stroked his forehead, not daring to look at Bai Xiaohan's eyes again.
"So, did you do it?" Bai Xiaohan looked directly at Yu Zheng and asked.
"No," Yu Zheng shook his head violently, "I can't, but he threatened to kill me in his dream!" I was scared and found a few friends to stay in the apartment all night, but nothing happened. Then they stopped believing what I said, and they thought I was insane. ”
A painful look appeared on Yu Zheng's face, "No one wants to believe me, I'm almost breaking down." Later, I applied for a night shift from the company, and I didn't dare to go back to that apartment at night. ”
"Then why don't you move away from Dean Apartments? Didn't the host say you could check out at any time? Bai Xiaohan was puzzled.
"It's useless," Yu Zheng said, lowering his head, "I still have nightmares like that when I take a nap on the night shift in the monitoring room. The man said, "It doesn't matter where I run away." ”
"Is that video of him still there?" Bai Xiaohan asked.
"I hid the footage outside because I felt like the man was free to come and go in my room every day."
"As you said, he always leaves some mark when he enters your room, right?"
"The strange place is here," Yu Zheng replied with a frown, "I once asked my neighbors to keep an eye out for anyone entering my room when I wasn't at home, but they always said they didn't see it. ”
"Then when you're not at home, why don't you keep recording with your camera on?" Bai Xiaohan asked.
"Of course I tried, but apart from the dark shadows I took that night, every time I saw the replay, it was the kind of picture that didn't have any images, and the sound was all noise."
"Could it be that someone has tampered with the video?" Bai Xiaohan pondered.
"During that time, I was in a trance every day, I couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams, and I even suspected that something was really wrong with my spirit."
Yu Zheng didn't touch the ice American in front of him, and the ice cubes in the cup were slowly melting.
"Did you take any action on that man's later request?" Bai Xiaohan's voice was not loud, but it shocked Yu Zheng when he heard it.
"I..."Yu Zheng rolled his eyes and replied hesitantly: "It's too difficult to deceive the living, how dare I do it?" If I die in my house, I won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”
"Although it is difficult to deceive, there is a candidate who is very easy to start," Bai Xiaohan stared at Yu Zheng's eyes and said word by word, "That is your father who is paralyzed in bed - Pei Ran." ”
Yu Zheng was suddenly startled in his heart, twitching his lips and unable to speak for a long time, through Bai Xiaohan's firm eyes, he seemed to feel that the other party had already known it.
"Mr. Yu, if you can tell me the truth before entering the interrogation room, you may be able to win a chance to reduce your sentence." Bai Xiaohan sat upright, his face full of majesty.
Yu Zheng soaked out of cold sweat all over his body, and suddenly said in an inaudible voice like a deflated ball: "But, but I really didn't kill him, I just brought him into the room." ”
---
In the evening, in Mr. X's apartment.
Bai Xiaohan brought Yu Zheng's camera and projected the image on the TV screen.
In the dark, Yu Zheng lay on the bed and turned over a few times, a black shadow slowly approached him from behind the door, it was indeed the figure of an adult man.
The picture was paused by Bai Xiaohan, and she said to Mr. X and Star Swirl, "According to Yu Zheng, he left the camera at home to shoot many times, but this night he captured the silhouette of the man. ”
"It seems that this person is gradually approaching Yu Zheng, instead of drifting past, can the possibility of a supernatural event be ruled out?" Star Swirl asked, holding her chin in her hand, thoughtfully.
"I've been to his apartment, and I really didn't feel 'weird.'" Bai Xiaohan pressed the play button and continued to show the two of them the next picture.
As Yu Zheng said, the entire screen is snowflake dots as if the contact is poor, and there is no clear image anymore.
"Do you think it's Yu Zheng's own hands?" Mr. X is understandably suspicious.
Yu Zheng had already admitted that he had brought Pei Ran into the room of De'an's apartment, as for what happened later, he did not know, and there was no Pei Ran's body in the room. If Yu Zheng had done something to the video, then he wouldn't have had to tell me about it. ”
Mr. X nodded slightly: "In this way, his suspicion will only be greater." ”
"Can this video tape alone prove that Yu Zheng's so-called nightmare instigated the crime?" Star Swirl asks.
"Later, I will give the tape to my colleagues in the technical department to do an analysis, see if I can analyze the appearance of the man, and then make a comparison."
"By the way," Bai Xiaohan seemed to remember something, and asked again, "Last time you attached to Yu Zheng, did you only see Hao Rui?" ”
Thinking of those dark eyes, Star Swirl immediately felt uncomfortable, "That's right, I only saw Hao Rui, but he was a little weird. ”
"Oh? You didn't mention that last time. Bai Xiaohan was slightly surprised.
"Hao Rui he... As if to convey the meaning for someone else, there is no expression on my face at all, just like yes, like a marionette. ”
"Marionette?" Bai Xiaohan looked at Mr. X in astonishment, and saw that his misty eyes were instantly clear as water.
Star Swirl looked at the two of them suspiciously, and asked, "Did you think of anything?" ”
"There is a kind of person who can make special golems from corpses and manipulate them to do something, and it's hard to track down who is behind them." Mr. X said in a deep voice.
"Puppet... Are you saying that Hao Rui was made into a puppet? Starswirl felt a little sad for him in shock.
