Chapter 539: The Shadow of Activity
In fact, all the shadows are moving with the wind blowing the trees.
However, there was a shadow in it, like a human figure, which first slid over the mottled courtyard wall, then landed on the lawn below the courtyard wall, and then moved along the lawn to the direction of the villa.
It's a pity that all the cameras can't shoot the ground close to the villa, and the black shadow soon enters the blind spot of the surveillance and is invisible.
"This, this, this...... How can this be? Jin Yuan blurted out.
"I said, this is the shadow of a ghost, but you don't believe it!" Takashi Inu said.
"Ghosts...... Is there a shadow? The bodyguard captain hesitated and asked.
"Absolutely!" Takashi Inoue replied with a raised face, "Ghosts and the like want you to see what it looks like, and that's what you see!" ”
Takashi Inoshita's words were not unreasonable, but Jin Yuan's lips moved, but he cast his eyes on me, as if hoping that I could give an accurate answer.
I was about to open my mouth to answer, but when I glanced at Planger's face turned pale, I turned to him and asked, "Mr. Planger must have thought of something?" ”
"I didn't ...... No! Planger replied almost immediately, nervously, but he quickly realized that there was a gaffe and smiled reluctantly, "I just think...... It's so weird, it's literally ...... Spooky than ghosts! ”
Actually, I think it's weird too, but I'm more inclined to another explanation that's not weird.
"Perhaps...... Something flew through the sky and cast a shadow on the ground! ”
"Anything can fly through the sky, unless it's a ghost!" Takashi Inushita held on to his theory.
"There are so many things that can fly in the sky, such as ...... Drones and more! I said.
"The drone can't be a shadow like this, it looks like a figure!" Takashi Innoshi retorted.
The shadow did look like a human figure, so I turned my head to look at Jin Yuan.
"Otherwise, please ask Mr. Jin to call up the surveillance of the other two death scenes to see if there is such a shadow!"
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Jin Yuan nodded again and again, and couldn't help but give me a thumbs up, "No wonder Brother Gao was able to become an investigator of an international organization at a young age, and he is really a talented and extraordinary skill!" ”
He speaks in Chinese fluently.
But Planger and Takashi Indoshita have translators on them, so they can hear clearly.
Planger still seemed a little distracted, as if he hadn't listened to Jin Yuan's words at all. But Takashi Inosita couldn't help but glare at me fiercely, and he was already a little kind to me, but now he regained his jealousy for me.
Naturally, I ignored it.
When we came out of the Xu family villa, Jin Yuan arranged two cars to take us back to the hotel, and we decided what to do the rest.
I was placed in the same car as Planger, and I sat in the back seat with Plangue and asked him in a low voice, "I must have thought of something when I saw Mr. Planger's expression, right?" Could it be ...... Have you ever been in a case of an inexplicable death like this? ”
"Haven't encountered one!" Planger looked back at me with a wry smile on his face, "I really haven't met it, it's just ...... A legend of our country comes to mind! ”
"What legend?" I immediately asked.
"This ......," Planger hesitated slightly, "it's just a legend that there is a temple in the southern forests of our country, and there are two ...... in the temple."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and stopped quietly for a while, and I was about to open my mouth to urge, but he suddenly said: "Forget it, I don't want to say it, maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much!" ”
He turned his head to look out the window, and he didn't want to talk to me any longer.
I had no choice but to swallow the full question back into my stomach and wait for the opportunity to ask him slowly.
When I got back to the hotel that day, I didn't know what Plang and Takashi Inosita would do next, so I went to the police station on my own.
The power of the big chaebol in country H almost overwhelms the government departments, and even the democratically elected president of the country has to act according to the face of the big chaebol.
First, I was invited by the Dingzhen Group to investigate the case, and secondly, I was an investigator recognized by Interpol, so the local police did not dare to slack off, but answered all my questions.
It's a pity that the information I learned from the police is indeed very limited, but I have once again confirmed the scene of the crime three times, but I have not been able to collect a single trace of the murderer.
"If it weren't for three such incidents in a row, we would all think that the deceased had committed suicide!" A major crime team leader at the police station told me.
"If it's suicide, can you hold your breath and suffocate yourself?" I asked with a smile.
"yes!" The leader of the serious crime team smiled helplessly, "There must be many ways to suffocate people to death, and the closest thing to the death symptoms of these three deceased people should be to cover their faces with a layer of plastic sheeting." But the problem is that the deceased scratched his face into a bloody blur, and if there had been plastic sheeting, he would have been caught a long time ago. And we were at the scene, and we didn't find even the slightest trace of this kind of crime. ”
My heart suddenly moved, and I thought of the Qigong that Yunding Dao Chang had passed on to me in his disciples.
It seems that the catastrophe that Genting Daoist calculated for me is this case.
A chill ran through my heart, and although I was able to hold my breath for dozens of minutes now, I was still very dangerous if I couldn't get out of its grip as quickly as possible when I was entangled in something that could suffocate people.
But what could it be that could suffocate people to death without leaving any traces?
As soon as I came out of the police station, I was thinking about what to do next, when my phone suddenly rang, and I took it out to see that it was Jin Yuan calling, asking me to hurry back to the hotel.
I immediately got into a taxi and rushed back to the hotel.
There was already a bodyguard waiting for me at the door of the hotel, and when he saw me arriving, he immediately led me upstairs to a small conference hall on the second floor.
I saw that Plang and Takashi Inoshita, as well as Takashi Inoshita's apprentices, were all in the small conference hall, and Jin Yuan was also accompanying them, and when he turned his head to see me come in, Jin Yuan immediately got up and said: "Brother Gao, you really got it right, we also found this strange figure in the surveillance video of the other two families!" ”
He used to call me "Mr. Gao", but now he has changed his name to "Brother Gao", which seems to be less respectful than "Mr. Gao", but he seems to be much more cordial.
He reached out and grabbed me, and together we sat down in front of a white screen in front of the small conference room, and instructed a bespectacled technician to play the surveillance video.
It seems that before I came, he didn't show these surveillance videos to Plang and Takashi Inoshita first.
Planger remained expressionless, but Takashi Innoshita was once again indignant.
Under Jin Yuan's explanation, the technicians played several videos one by one.
Just like the monitoring facilities of the Xu family's villa, the ground that can enter the surveillance camera is all at the foot of the wall away from the house. The ground, which is close to the perimeter of the house, cannot be captured by surveillance cameras.
Sure enough, all of these videos recorded a strange figure, and this figure appeared from above the wall, then slid down the foot of the wall, traveled some distance along the ground, and finally disappeared into the blind spot of the camera.
One of them had a clean fence without any plants, and the foot of the fence was also a light-colored floor tile, and even the shadows of the big trees planted in the yard were not cast on the courtyard wall or the roots of the courtyard wall.
Therefore, it can be seen very clearly that the shadow is like a living thing, crawling along the fence to the ground, and then crawling along the ground into the monitoring blind spot.
"This is definitely not the shadow of a person, nor is it a shadow left by a high-altitude aircraft, this is 100% the shadow of a ghost!" Takashi Inum once again published his theory.
Jin Yuan nodded in favor of Takashi Inoshita's theory.
"I don't think it's a human figure, or a shadow falling from something flying in the sky!" Jin Yuan said, pointing to the black shadow on the surveillance video, "Look at this black shadow, it seems to be darker than a normal figure, and it ...... No matter what shadow falls on the wall, and then falls from the wall to the ground, because of the angle, it will definitely stretch and twist, but you look at this shadow, it is always this shape, it feels like ...... A transparent black veil was dragged down the wall, and slid to the ground against the wall, and then walked forward close to the ground. ”
Jin Yuan described it very vividly, so much so that when he talked about it, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and shudder.
It's just a shadow, and if you glance at it, no one will take it to heart.
However, after carefully observing this shadow on the video, everyone present, including me, had a feeling of deep thought and fear.
Because it was obviously a shadow, but it slid down against the wall, and as Jin Yuan said, it was not even the slightest deformed.
Even when the front half of it falls to the ground and slides forward, while the second half is still moving down the courtyard wall, its "body" will form a 90-degree bend in flow with the angle between the wall and the ground, and any shadow will be distorted and deformed in this case.
Generally speaking, shadows cast on the ground will be stretched more sharply, while shadows cast on walls will be relatively regular.
But this shadow is not deformed. The front half of it falls to the ground, and the back half of it is still on the wall, always a well-proportioned whole, really like a living creature with a fixed shape, first climbing down the wall and then crawling close to the ground.
What's even more bizarre is that the prerequisite for the formation of shadows must be that there must be an object blocking the light.
However, there was no object in the front and right of this shadow.
- unless it's a shadow cast by something flying in the sky.
However, the farther away the body is from the shadow, the more the shadow will be stretched and distorted. This is the natural common sense that even children know, but in this shadow, it is not reflected.
"What the hell is this?" Xu didn't get a response from me, and Jin Yuan could only mumble to himself.
