4. Photographs

Three days later, at the door of the police station.

Yang Xiaoqi's appearance in a police uniform still surprised me a little. It was the first time I saw him wearing this tiger skin, and he looked very capable and energetic overall.

People are like this, and on the surface, it is impossible to guess how many secrets there will be behind this person.

When I gave Simon the manuscript that had been rushed out in the last three days, he read it all night and was very excited. I also wanted me to introduce Yang Xiaoqi to him, saying that I was going to give him a lecture on the TV station. I rejected his offer because I knew that Yang Xiaoqi was definitely not the kind of person who liked to show his head.

I didn't write the strange letters I had received, nor did I mention it to Simon. Because I think it's a thing that ordinary people should not touch, and once you get involved, the consequences are unimaginable. Ali is a good example.

After Ximen left, I couldn't wait to pack up the contents of those letters, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to meet Yang Xiaoqi once.

"What are you looking for from me? Great writer. "In a private room in a hotel opposite the police station, Yang Xiaoqi devoured food that I couldn't name, as if he had starved to death 800 times.

"Don't your police department even care about you now? Look at you like this, it's like a starving ghost reincarnated. It's the same as the escapees. "I think his food is really indecent, and there is a beautiful young waiter in this private room.

Yang Xiaoqi said that he is not a first-class policeman, and he usually can't come to such a high-end hotel, so I'm sorry for my 'blood' this time.

The beautiful waiter snorted and was amused by Yang Xiaoqi.

I couldn't hold back a smile and took out a photo to show Yang Xiaoqi. It's that huge bronze tripod photo. The background is very hazy and the specific shooting location is not visible, and in addition to the bronze tripod, there is a figure in the photo. The figure was lying behind the bronze tripod and peeking at the camera, with a kind of clarity in the blur. On the contrary, the bronze tripod itself is clear and a little blurry.

It's strange, as if the photographer's focus was not on the bronze tripod, which takes up most of the photo, but on the figure behind it. However, perhaps it's the lighting that makes the whole photo look blurry.

There is a lot of interesting information in all the photos, some of them are a cow, some are of a mountain peak, some are of a tree, some are of a dog, some are several moving cars, and some are tents and ........

I studied it for a day and could only guess that it was supposed to be a photo of an expedition. Of course, it could also be just a photo taken by a tour group.

There are a lot of photos, all of which are scenes and objects. There doesn't seem to be anything strange, but it's full of weirdness.

Because – there's no one in all the photos. Yes, it's just the figure.

This photo is the only one out of the ordinary, because there is a figure on it. The only figure.

Actually, I'm more curious about why someone would mail me these photos. That's the weirdest thing.

Yang Xiaoqi was surprised when he saw the photo I handed over, his brow furrowed, and he wiped his greasy hands with a tissue. He looked at me in surprise and asked, "Where did you get your picture?" ”。

Instead of answering him, I asked, "Have you seen the bronze tripod in the picture?" ”。

Yang Xiaoqi didn't continue to ask, he shook his head.

Seeing him shake his head, I was a little disappointed. I was hoping to get some news from this well-informed person. It seems to be slim. But, or then again, I don't know what kind of news I want.

However, Yang Xiaoqi's next words made me feel a chill in my back. No, it's a burst of excitement.

"I haven't seen this bronze tripod, but I've seen the figure behind it." Yang Xiaoqi said with great certainty.

I snapped my gaze at him and asked, "Figure?" ”。

"Not bad!" Yang Xiaoqi nodded again. "It's this figure. I'm not 100% sure, though, to say the least I can guarantee that I've seen something like this. ”。

"Where?" I asked.

Yang Xiaoqi almost didn't think about it, and told me directly how he found a similar photo.

Actually, I mentioned that place at the beginning of the second volume of The Necronomicon. Yes, it's the nursing home that was later converted.

The basement in room 111 in that deserted nursing home. Yang Xiaoqi went there with Geng Yan at the beginning. It is also the place where Geng Yan tested Yang Xiaoqi at the beginning.

It was there that Yang Xiaoqi found a photo similar to the one I received. It was a picture of a woman hiding in the dark, her eyes dead gray. If you insist on saying it, Yang Xiaoqi believes that the photo is a ghost.

After he said this, I couldn't help but start to feel a chill in my back, and suddenly realized that someone was staring at me. The feeling of being on my back scares me.

Reflexively, I jerked my head away. Maybe my eyes were too fierce, and the waitress girl was startled by me. I apologized for taking her out of a private room.

Yang Xiaoqi was silent for a while, probably thinking of Geng Yan again.

"Where did you get this picture?" Yang Xiaoqi came back to his senses and asked me again.

I didn't think about it and told him everything I had received about the photos, he was a police officer and a police officer with a story, and I had no reason not to tell him. And, vaguely, I feel that there is something connected to what we are experiencing.

After he heard what I said, he couldn't figure it out. He thought for a moment and wondered, "Where did the letter come from?" What is the name of the other party? ”。

I thought about it, recalled it carefully, and said, "The address from which the mail came was Kawaguchi Town. ”。

Yang Xiaoqi frowned and said suspiciously: "Hekou Town in Sichuan? I've heard of this place. What is the other person's name? ”。

"Yellow River Ghost Cliff!" I say these four words without thinking. Because the name is really weird and scary, I was very impressed.

"The Yellow River Ghost Cliff? Looks like Ayumi mentioned this place. I don't know if it's related. He mused.

As soon as he said this, I immediately remembered that Ayumi had indeed mentioned the place of the Yellow River Ghost Cliff. "Could this be something that won't be sent?" I asked Yang Xiaoqi.

"Probably not. Why did Ayumi go all the way to Sichuan to send you something? Sick is not. And so on". He paused as if he remembered something, and then asked uncertainly: "Do you remember, when I was in school, there was an article that seemed to say that the Yellow River originated." It seems that there is a town that has been submerged by the Yellow River, and the name seems to be Hekou Town. ”。

Just because I'm interested in writing doesn't mean I'm interested in reading. I couldn't understand his words at all, let alone say anything about the submerged ancient town.

I shook my head to say I didn't know.

"You said it was gone, so how could anyone send something. Could it be that the express delivery of the underworld is not successful? I looked at him curiously.

Yang Xiaoqi frowned, and finally spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Do you just want to find out who mailed these photos?" ”。

But I wondered about it. Nodding his head, he asked, "Do you have a way?" ”。

Yang Xiaoqi rolled his eyes, and then said, "Since the other party's address is so far away, it is unrealistic for you to go once." I think we can investigate nearby. ”。

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Go back and check the monitoring of the community to see who sent you the letter?" Yang Xiaoqi said.

"It must be the post office guy. You're not reliable. I retorted.

"Not necessarily." Yang Xiaoqi looked at me and said, "Have you ever seen the person at the post office stuff the letter under the crack in someone's door?" That's the post office, not the courier company. The average post office guy would never do that. ”。

There is some truth to what he said, but if I just run into a mentally ill post office boy, there is nothing I can do

But this is a clue after all, and I can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

It is easier for Yang Xiaoqi to come forward to check such a thing as monitoring. I finally let him accompany me to the property in our community.

Thankfully, the surveillance equipment here is not damaged.

Yang Xiaoqi identified himself, and the manager on duty even called the security guards in, and cooperated with Yang Xiaoqi to look at the surveillance videos over and over again.

Sure enough, there was a breakthrough here.
