Chapter 3: Graveyard Legends
Tonight's scares are definitely the most I've ever had as a police officer.
First, the double footprints of the grave were found. To be honest, I don't think it's a prank. Who would spend the middle of the night playing in the graveyard with footprints.
There must be a reason for this footprint. Although it is not yet known what it is.
Of course, I don't believe that this is a paranormal case, and although I don't deny the existence of such a case, as a police officer, you should never think like that. The strange case is just a high name for the characterization of the modus operandi. How to peel off the cocoon and restore the truth, that is what needs to be done to solve the case.
The mystery of the footprints has not yet been solved, and my colleague disappeared at this time, and a large living person disappeared in tens of seconds, which is not scientific.
I stood up and looked around, and my heart settled. Lu Tao didn't know when he actually walked to the depths of the cemetery. He must have wanted to follow the footprints and see what he could find.
It's just that this kid is too unauthentic, and he leaves without letting go of a fart.
I scolded his ancestors and followed, and when I got closer, I noticed a strange thing, he did not stand and walk like that, but with his waist bent, his head bowed and slowly approached in a very difficult way.
For a while, I didn't dare to get too close to him.
I turned off my flashlight and crept after him, walking very slowly, as if I was afraid of missing something. I looked into the depths of the graveyard, and I looked towards that place.
In the night, a large tomb came into view. The reason why it is big is because the tomb is four or five times larger than the next one. The grave was overgrown with weeds, and the wind blew it around, as if someone was dancing on it, which was a little weird in such a night. In front of the grave stood a tombstone, wider and taller than the average tombstone. It's as if a coffin is standing there.
Because it was in the middle of the cemetery, I didn't notice it when I drove around the cemetery.
Lu Tao straightened up as he approached the huge stone monument, and then turned around and walked to the back of the tombstone.
There was a stone tablet that prevented me from seeing him. But I still fixed the launch there, and then found a smaller mound for cover and hid. I want to see what this kid really means. How did the good guys hide there?
I lit a cigarette behind my back and hid it in my hand to smoke. To be honest, I wasn't scared, I felt like I was excited.
He still didn't come out after about a cigarette. I don't think something is right, it's been fucking too long. Unless something happened to him, there was no reason why he shouldn't show up now.
I took out the baton on my waist and slowly touched it. I didn't walk in a straight line, but made a detour to the side of the grave to get a closer look.
We weren't too far apart, but in less than a minute I was rounding the side of the tombstone. I didn't dare to turn on the flashlight and look through the moonlight. found that Lu Tao was lying on the grave so straight, motionless.
What is this guy doing? Is it sleeping there? Obviously, this is absolutely impossible.
In this case, of course, it is impossible to walk away.
I stared at him and walked over, slowly, moving towards the ground under my feet.
Your mother.
I cursed. The person there was not Lu Tao at all, but a strange woman, although I couldn't see her face clearly, but I concluded that Lu Tao definitely didn't have that long hair.
From the beginning, I had a preconceived idea, and when I saw the person lying down, I thought it was Lu Tao.
I'm only ten paces away from there now, and it's embarrassing. I'm not sure if that's the deceased the person the reporter said. At this point, if I want to say in my heart that I am not afraid, it is absolutely a lie.
But something really made me almost faint.
I just had to keep and on, with all my might, clenching my left hand, clenching, releasing it, clenching it, letting go of it.... The repetitive pain of pins and needles in my little finger kept me awake in the midst of extreme fear.
On the back of the one-man tall tombstone, there was a person hiding there, crouching there to be exact.
That person was Lu Tao. At this time, he was presenting in a very strange way on the back of the stele.
He curled up with his bare hands, his legs half-squatting, his waist pressed very low, like a leopard full of momentum.
Fuck, what's this position? Could it be that he was fighting against some beast?
I'm not bad at it, and I know that this position will only be used against the danger of being lower than myself. I've used it, for example, a vicious dog, or a master wrestler lying on the ground. You can use this posture.
Could it be that there is something there that I can't see that threatens him?
I thought in my heart, so I shouted, "Brother Lu, what's wrong?" ”。
He waved his hand and motioned for me to be silent. Seeing this, I could only walk slowly towards it.
Halfway through, I found that he had slowly relaxed his body. He turned back to me and said, "Come here." It's gone".
He's gone?
I walked over, didn't look at the body lying on the grave, and asked, "Who is gone?" ”。
Lu Tao said lightly: "The things in the cave."
I looked down the ground he was pointing to, and saw a hole next to the tomb, and I didn't know what was inside.
Lu Tao said: "This is the cave of the fire fox. These animals love to eat corpses, so most of them make burrows in the graveyard. ”。
I asked, "You mean, this corpse was dragged here by the fire fox?" ”。
I thought of the double footprints, and I was puzzled.
Lu Tao handed me a cigarette and said, "No." This corpse came here on its own. ”。
"She, did she get here on her own?" I wondered. Hearing his words, I felt furious. What do you mean by coming over by yourself? Could it be that the corpse is not a fraud?
"What time is it?" Lu Tao asked suddenly.
I looked at my phone and said, "It's almost 12 o'clock." What's wrong? ”。
Lu Tao frowned and said, "You call Zhao Suo, just say that the body has been found, ask him to send someone over quickly." ”。
I did as I was told and called the director. Explain the situation a little. Zhao Yi said that he would be here in half an hour, so let the two of us guard it now, and wait for him to arrive.
Because it was night, and there was no one nearby, I was not in a hurry to pull the cordon, so I just squatted next to the deceased and smoked.
I hung up the phone and asked Lu Tao, "You just said that the deceased came here by himself?" What is the meaning? ”。
Lu Tao pinched a clod of soil in his hand and said, "You go to see the expression of the deceased first, I think you can guess how he died." ”。
I said in my heart, this kid also sold me a guanzi. I wanted to think about it, but I still turned on the flashlight and came to the deceased, and after just one glance, I understood why Lu Tao said this.
It was a woman of about twenty, dressed in dark blue overalls, the kind of clothes I had seen from the town's weaving mill. Because it was night, and I wasn't a forensic doctor, I could only observe on the surface. When I shone the light of the flashlight on the deceased's face, I was startled, even though I had been prepared.
I saw that the deceased's pupils were dilated, his face was dark and black, and his facial features were frightened. This was clearly caused by extreme fright, and the preliminary judgment was that he was most likely frightened to death.
"It's .... Scared to death, "I realized that my voice sounded so dry.
Lu Tao nodded and said, "Yes, this person was scared to death." However, she came here again at the place of death. We don't know exactly how we got there, but I think the footprints on the ground are likely to be of the deceased."
I took a closer look at the feet of the deceased woman, and they were indeed naked.
"How the hell did she get here?" I asked.
Lu Tao shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, it is very likely to be a modus operandi." Otherwise, it can't be explained, and it is impossible for the dead to really come here. (PS: The author's new book was published on the Genesis-World Chinese Network.) Title: Hell's Box. If you are interested, you can take a look) I guess it is very likely that someone is deliberately doing this to disturb our thinking. ”。
"This can't be a paranormal case, right?" I asked in a whisper.
Lu Taoyin**: "Although there are indeed cases in the police world that cannot be explained, I still believe that it is just a clever modus operandi, otherwise it will make people crazy." With that, he threw the clod of dirt he had just held in his hand into the distance.
In the dark, the two of us talked to each other in the cemetery, but we also had a bit of artistic conception.
I looked at the direction he threw it out, remembered that the ghost hit the wall just now, and asked, "How do you explain what happened just now?" ”。
"You mean the ghost hit the wall?" Lu Tao looked at me strangely and said.
I nodded.
He burst out laughing and said lightly, "That's the legend of the older generation." It is said that this road is haunted (ghosts), and just now we drove on the road for an hour, and it had to remind me of the legend of the older generation that ghosts hit the wall. In comparison, I believe that we are driving too slowly. ”。
I heard it strangely, why did it sound upside down.
Looking at the watch, it has only been less than fifteen minutes since the two of us got off the bus, and according to me, it has only been five minutes since I finished calling Zhao, and Zhao should be able to come over in about twenty minutes.
I don't know if it's a delusion, but I always feel that something bad is going to happen, and that feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and it makes me more and more restless. What is it? I can't think of it.
"The footprints we found just now are twofold. There is a smaller footprint in the middle of the footprint, what do you think of this? I asked, pressing the uneasy emotion in my heart.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tao's expression became a little nervous after hearing my words, and I guessed if he had thought of something. And then he said:
"If, we characterize this case as homicide. So why did the murderer make a fuss in the footprints again? The deceased's pupils were dilated and his face was hideous, and it was very likely that he died due to excessive shock. Could it be that the murderer has set up something terrifying here? ”。
Lu Tao became uncomfortable when he heard my words, and I thought he was scared. I wonder why this guy doesn't have the kind of bravery he was just now. I just heard him say, "You found out?" Perhaps he was too nervous, and his voice was now sharp and harsh.
I smiled, and just as I was about to speak, my phone rang at this time. Because I don't have a caller ID for this number, I don't know who it is, but I guess it should be Director Zhao and they arrived.
I got up and answered the phone: "Hey." Zhao Suo...".
A familiar, eager voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm Lu Tao." Xiao Yang, you must be careful of the person in front of you. ”。
My head exploded, and the hairs on my body stood on end.
