The tin box was too old to withstand such a heavy fall, and I saw the tin box crack open from the back, leaving only the latch barely connected.

And the relief also fell out of the iron box.

I already had a deep-seated fear of this relief, so after being shocked, I immediately picked it up and put it in a tin box, and then barely closed the broken lid of the tin box.

I was angry in my heart, and I raised my head and wanted to ask Director Lei a few words, but Meng Xiang had already taken two steps forward and exclaimed, "Director Lei, what's wrong with you?" ”

I raised my eyes to look at Director Lei, but I saw that his face was actually pale, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Director Lei, what's wrong with you?" I couldn't help but ask.

Director Lei sat down slowly, just looking at the iron box in my hand, ignoring my questions with Meng Xiang.

I glanced at Meng Xiang.

There was a sentence that came to my lips, but before I could ask, I saw Director Lei wave his hand, which meant that we should stop talking and let him be quiet for a while.

So I swallowed the question back for now.

Director Lei held his head in his hand and quietly for a long time, and finally raised his head with a bitter smile on his face.

"Twenty years on, from the time this case happened, I doubted ...... It's because of this relief, I didn't expect it...... That's true! ”

Meng Xiang was taken aback!

And I immediately asked the sentence that came to my mouth before: "Director Lei has seen this relief before?" ”

"Not only have I seen it, this iron box was made by someone myself, and I also locked this relief into the iron box with my own hands." Director Lei said.

Meng Xiang had a look of sudden realization on his face.

She must have finally understood why this case had alarmed Director Lei to interrogate in person;

And why, Director Lui would put this case in the hands of a young police officer like her, who has neither rich experience nor leadership skills? And allow her to hire me, an ordinary person, to assist in the investigation.

Director Lei must have realized early on that this case was extraordinary. But only Meng Xiang and I believe and have personally come into contact with those "extraordinary" things.

"I threw this iron box into the cliff, and I walked into the mountains for most of the day before I dared to throw it! But I didn't expect that after 20 years, it actually ...... Again! Director Lei's face was pale, almost talking to himself.

And I solved a lot of questions in an instant.

It turned out that the case of "vegetative person homicide" that Director Lei personally experienced 20 years ago was also related to this relief.

Director Lei must have realized the evil of this relief, so he specially asked someone to make a very strong iron box and lock the relief in the iron box.

In order to prevent the relief from harming people again, Director Lei walked into the mountains and threw the iron box into the cliff.

Unexpectedly, not long after he threw away the iron box, he was picked up by a boy surnamed Zheng, which not only caused a tragic disaster to the family of three surnamed Zheng, but also killed Uncle Zhang's daughter and son-in-law, plus Uncle Zhang's wife.

It's just that even if the people in the depths of the mountains suffered a tragic disaster, no news reached the city.

- But the biggest question is still unsolved, where does this relief come from?

"Since Director Lei has seen this relief twenty years ago, has he found out the origin of this relief?" Meng Xiang asked.

"No, there's no way to find out!" Director Lei shook his head, although his mood had stabilized, his face was still a little dazed, "Twenty years ago, technical means were far less developed than they are now, I did research in private, not only can I not find the slightest clue, but I feel ...... If we continue to track it down, even I will ...... Turned into a murderous demon with no conscience! That's why I locked it in a tin box and threw it into the mountains. ”

"Since Director Lei knew that it was a very evil thing, why didn't he directly destroy it at that time?" I asked.

"Do you think I didn't try to destroy it?" Director Lei shook his head with a wry smile, "I saw with a saw, burned with a welding torch, and even hit directly with a pistol, but there was not even a trace at all!" It's obviously made of wood, and it's not very hard, but I can't stand it even if I try my best! ”

I couldn't help but open the tin box and take a closer look at the reliefs inside.

As Director Lei said, at least on the surface, it is indeed a piece of wood carving, how can it be that there is no trace of a fire gun?

"You'd better not stare at it for too long, this thing seems to be able to suppress the conscience of mankind and stimulate the hidden evil of mankind." Director Ray warned me.

I knew what he said was true, and I was so frightened that I quickly closed the tin box again.

"Director Lei didn't have any nightmares because of this relief?" I asked, being really curious.

"Nope!" Director Lei shook his head, his face once again showing misery, "But I have a colleague who took this relief home to study, and the result is ...... He committed suicide a few days later, which was the biggest reason I threw him off a cliff in a tin box. ”

I understand.

This relief only induces sleep at night, when the woman on it appears to have no eyes.

and to cause a man to fall into a nightmare, or to fall asleep from it, and to kill in his dreams; Either sober, they will commit suicide because they are plagued by visions.

Fortunately, Director Lei was never in the same room with the relief at night, which prevented him from falling asleep or committing suicide.

As for what would have happened if I had slept with this relief in my arms during the day, I don't know, at least I didn't have the guts to try.

"So what do we do next? How should I write this investigation report? Meng Xiang asked, his face full of confusion.

"If I think so, this relief ...... I really can't keep it, it's just ......" Director Lei couldn't help but sigh long, "Since you can't destroy it, you can only hand it over to the technical department first, hoping that with the current technical means, you can figure out what it is." As for your report......"

He stopped, probably after secretly weighing it in his heart for a long time, and then finally made a decision.

"Don't mention this relief in the report for the time being, because ...... I'm afraid that if we still can't figure out what it is with the current technology, once this matter attracts too much attention, I am afraid that it will lead to an even greater disaster! ”

Director Lei's face was full of worry. And I, all of a sudden, was full of respect for him.

If another person gets such a strange thing, he will definitely hurry up to ask for credit from the higher-level leaders.

Even hand over this thing to the highest scientific research institutions for research.

But as Director Lei said, once too much attention is aroused, it is not easy to make this harmful thing disappear.

And my intuition is the same as that of Director Lei, keeping this thing for research is even a blessing and a curse for the entire human race.
