Volume 01 The Mystery of the Case Chapter 002 The Toddler Makes Trouble

My name is Gao Li, and after experiencing several extremely horrific and bizarre events, I was absorbed by an international organization, the "Paranormal Case Investigation Alliance", and became a full member of the organization.

The "Paranormal Case Investigation Alliance" is not an official organization, and all investigations involving the "supernatural" can only be conducted privately by the organization's investigators.

Even the salary is raised by the "Paranormal Case Investigation Alliance".

This salary is not meager, first of all, there are many people around the world who have a fanatical obsession with supernatural events;

Secondly, this kind of investigation has an extremely severe test of the investigators' physiology and psychology, and the salary is too low, no matter how much interest in the "supernatural" is, it is impossible to last long.

I've been through a lot of horrible, weird, bizarre, and mysterious events.

I was involved in most of the investigations, and a few of them were personally or from the sidelines.

And the reason why I put this case in the first place is because this case involves the longest time span.

In addition, although this case is not the most terrifying or the weirdest, its bizarre twists and turns are second to none.

In fact, by the time I learned about the kidnapping, the whole case had already been closed, and the kidnapped little girl had been rescued safely.

But I am keenly aware that this case is unusual.

So I quickly went to the scene of the crime and conducted a private investigation and questioning of the people involved.

And the first person I looked for was Huang Lili.

-- It should be explained here that the kidnapping took place in a mountainous county called Ling County.

Huang Lili and her daughter are from Lingxian County, but the little boy who kidnapped the little girl was given by Huang Lili to a distant relative in another province for adoption eight years ago.

So after the kidnapping was over, the little boy had been sent back to his adoptive parents, who were far away.

And my intuition is that the reason why the little boy did the terrible thing of kidnapping his sister at such a young age is probably related to his upbringing.

That's why I first found Huang Lili and asked in detail about the little boy's growth since childhood.

I showed my ID card for the "Occult Investigation Alliance", and Huang Lili saw that there were words from several countries on it, and she didn't know how big I was, so she basically answered all questions.

But when Huang Lili finished telling about the horror that happened in the sawmill that night, my heart could not be calmed for a long time.

The kidnapping case itself has already puzzled me, but I didn't expect that behind the kidnapping case, there is an even more amazing "truth" hidden.

"Are you sure you saw the ghost fire? And see your four-year-old son, slashing your man with a kitchen knife? I asked.

I can't say I'm suspicious by nature, but even I, a "supernatural" investigator, would find this incredible.

Huang Lili raised her eyelids and glanced at me, as if she was very upset that I didn't trust her.

"Of course I'm sure! My man was cut by him several times, if it weren't for that little ghost's young age and weak strength, my man would have died on the spot! ”

She paused here and added a sentence to herself.

"People in our village say that he is a ghost, and I also believe that he is a ghost!"

The latter does not strike me as absurd, after all, the reason I am here is precisely because this case is extraordinary.

If what Huang Lili said is true, I, like her, am even inclined to think that the child has been ghosted.

And the word "ghost upper body" can also logically explain why the little four-year-old child can shout "Daddy help".

However, the "ghost upper body" can't explain a bigger question-

If the front and back doors of the house, as Huang Lili said, were bolted from the inside, in the middle of the night, how did the child get out of the house?

Even if it is a "ghost body", it is impossible for a child to get out of the wall!

I don't have the means to do a site survey right away. Because Huang Lili left the mountain village with Li Geng after half of her man's hand was sawed off by a hacksaw, bought an old house near the county seat, and usually made a living by doing some small business.

And the place where I inquired about Huang Lili was in this old house near the county seat.

So I can only make three assumptions:

First, will the child be outside the door when Huang Lili and his wife go to bed;

second, whether there is a window in their bedroom, and whether the child climbed out of the window by himself;

Third, since the child mentioned that there was a person in the sawmill, could it be that this person climbed into the child's room through the window and carried the child out?

It's a pity that all my three hypotheses were rejected by Huang Lili.

First, the child is still young, Huang Lili has to bathe the child every night, and only take a bath and sleep after coaxing the child to sleep, at that time the front and back doors have already been bolted;

Second, although there is a window in the bedroom, the window is very high from the ground, and the child needs a stool if he wants to climb out.

Third, the houses in the mountain villages are all adobe walls, and the windows cannot be opened too wide, and it is impossible for adults to climb in and out of the windows.

Huang Lili said very surely, but I still found the possibility of what happened.

"Since the child can climb out of the window, did you check the child's room afterwards to see if there was a stool under the window? Have you ever asked the child how he got out? ”

And Huang Lili's answer was:

"My man doesn't have half a hand, how can I take care of this? Our whole family hates that little ghost for this, including me! So before my man was discharged from the hospital, my mother-in-law contacted a distant relative in the province and sent the little ghost away! Even if I wanted to ask him, I wouldn't be able to! ”

Her explanation sounded.

But I didn't give up and asked, "If your child mentioned that there was a man in the sawmill, maybe there really was?" What does this person look like? How old is it? You don't even ask your children about that, do you? ”

"I didn't ask, I've been taking care of my man in the hospital! My mother-in-law asked, and she still asked, but the little ghost couldn't tell at all! So my family and I both think...... It's our whole village that thinks that there is no such person at all, that it is completely ...... That little ghost is haunted by a ghost, and he deliberately designs to kill his father! ”

When Huang Lili said this, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at me and muttered a few more words.

"I know that you comrades don't believe in ghosts and gods, but we people in the mountains have not seen ghosts or two! Some people are haunted by ghosts, and they are crazy and have changed their lives, as long as they ask the goddess to do a ritual and burn some paper money, they will be fine immediately! There are so many of these things in our mountains, it's not strange to see them! ”

I know very well that people in the mountains believe in ghosts and gods, but most of them are rumors, and if I want to be sure that this matter is really related to ghosts and gods, it seems that I can only go to Huang Lili and her man's old house.

"Another question, why didn't anyone else in the village hear that there was such a big commotion in your house that night?"

"They can't hear it!" Huang Lili shook her head, "Before Li Geng married me, he had already opened that sawmill near the road. When I married him, he used the money he earned from the sawmill to build three houses next to the sawmill. It wasn't a long way from the village, but it was a long walk. ”

Her repeated denials made my doubts not lessen, but only expanded.

Still, I had the patience to ask another question that didn't seem important at the time.

"Your son, is he usually naughty and naughty? As parents, what is your relationship with him, and will you often beat him? ”

This question is almost the most common question in business, but I didn't expect Huang Lili to immediately raise her head and stare at me defensively.

"What do you mean, comrade? You don't think that the little ghost deliberately hurt his dad because we usually treat him badly? He is our biological son, how can we treat him badly? If we treat him badly, my man and I will immediately get up and run out when we hear him screaming in the middle of the night? Not to mention ......"

She suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something.

I immediately followed up: "What's more?" ”

"What's more, he's not even five years old, he's just over four years old, and it doesn't matter if we treat him well or not, he can't ...... Do something like this! ”

Her words are by no means unreasonable, but I have a feeling that she has not finished her words.

Or to put it simply, she is deliberately hiding something.
