Jone is dead. Jame broke into my dorm early this morning, woke me up in a panic, and told me the shocking news in my sleepiness.

Angry, I was about to get angry, and I froze. Without much thought in my brain, I somersaulted, quickly got dressed, and pulled him out. "What the hell is going on?" I asked as I ran.

Jame's voice was hoarse, as if he had cried: "This morning Aunt Bancy went to wake up Jone, only to find him lying on the edge of the bed, already dying. Aunt Bancy immediately called the police. ”

"What is the forensic judgment?" I thought for a moment and continued.

"Acute myocardial infarction, ruling out the possibility of homicide. But one thing is strange that Jone's situation is exactly the same as when Davy died! ”

"Didn't the medical examiner find it strange?" I frowned.

"Not at all." Jame snorted coldly: "The forensic doctor believes that Jone and Davy are distantly related, and the probability of dying from the same disease is not too small. Therefore, the self-righteous think that there is no doubt, and this incident can be considered a sudden death. The guy signed the death certificate and left! ”

"And what do you think?" My mind moved and I looked at him. Jame looked at me intently, hesitated for a moment, and said one last word: "Perhaps, that curse has not been lifted!" ”

By the time Jame and I got to Jone's house, the police were gone. Since he was judged to have died suddenly, the house was not cordoned off. In the living room, Jone's mother, Bancy, was crying sadly, and Haruka and Huang Shiya sat beside her and tried to comfort her. The members of the Seattle Middle School Paranormal Club all seemed to be here, and they sat silently, not knowing what they were thinking.

I hesitated, walked up to Bancy and whispered, "Auntie, I know this is a bad time, but I still want you to show me Jone's room. Jone is a good friend of mine and I'm sorry I didn't get to see him for the last time! ”

Bancy whimpered and sobbed, and nodded slowly. Released, I pulled Jame into Jone's bedroom.

The furnishings in the bedroom are basically the same, which shows that the police did not carefully inspect them when they came. I turned my head and asked, "Jame, how many are you there?" ”

Jame replied, "I arrived with the police, watched them perform the autopsy, and then they told the funeral home to take Jone's body away. ”

"Is the furnishings in the room exactly the same now as when you came?"

Jame looked around carefully, then nodded affirmatively. I didn't say anything more, and began to gather clues in earnest.

"It's weird." It didn't take long for me to stand up straight from the ground and scratch my head in confusion.

"Suspicious?" Jame grabbed my shoulder nervously.

"It can be said that there is a suspicion." I walked over to the bedside, gently picked up the unhung phone, and said, "Jone seems to have answered or called before he died." But for some reason, I didn't even put the microphone away. ”

"One of the policemen mentioned this as well." Jame took the microphone from my hand and looked at it carefully, and his throat couldn't help but choke again: "But the medical examiner explained that Jone must have been desperately trying to pick up the phone and call for help when he was ill, but before he could dial the phone, he was already dead!" ”

"That's even weirder." I looked at him and said, "In that case, Jone should have had the microphone in his hand when he died." But in fact, Jone's hand was at least 1 meter away from the phone when he died. ”

Jame looked up in shock: "Then when did Jone die?" ”

"I figured Jone got a call that panicked him, and when he dropped the microphone to do something, he suddenly died for some reason." I crouched down and flipped the carpet and continued, "What was Jone's position when you saw his body in the morning?" ”

Jame simply lay down on the carpet and posed as he explained to me, "That's how Jone lies on his back with his head facing the phone. His eyes were wide and wide, and his face was full of fear, as if he had been staring out the window all the time. Then his left hand rested limply on his left thigh, and his right hand reached under the bed. ”

"Your right hand is under the bed?" I perked up and immediately put my head under the bed, but I was almost suffocated by the large amount of dust. "Make no mistake! There is no carpet under the bed, it's too much of a cutaway! I grumbled angrily.

Jame smiled awkwardly: "It's all my fault, I set off fireworks in Jone's room the year before last and accidentally burned a piece of the carpet." Afraid of being scolded by her mother, Jone cut off the burned piece and lifted the bed over to cover it. But he's sloppy enough to never clean the bottom of the bed a little. Jame reached out and gently wiped it under the exposed bed, and said, "That's so much dust!" ”

"I think this dust might help us unravel some of the secrets!" I turned on my flashlight and carefully searched for it under the bed.

Jame was puzzled: "Can this useless, obstructive dust really help us?" ”

"That's right. You carefully recall the posture of Jone when he died. Don't you think it's weird? I explained to him as I searched, "I don't know how the medical examiner determined that Jone died of acute myocardial infarction. However, in general, most people who die of myocardial infarction cover their hearts with their hands. But Jone didn't. When he fell to the ground, his left hand was weakly placed on his thigh, and his right hand was even more strange, it was under the bed! ”

"Is that posture problematic?" Jame still didn't get it.

"Of course there is a problem." I whispered, afraid of raising dust: "When a person falls on his back on the ground, unless the muscles of the whole body are already stiff, the arms will be bounced away by inertia." In that state, the person should be in a large font, and the chance of the left hand lying soft on the thigh is very small. Then you think about his right hand, because this thick layer of carpet on the floor will remove most of the inertia, so no matter how much the right hand plays, it will not bounce under the bed. I think Jone must have consciously put his right hand under the bed! As soon as I finished explaining, a few letters of English came into my eyes.

"Found it!" I struggled to retract my head from under the bed, my whole body shaking violently in shock.

"Do those letters mean ......?" Jame seemed more surprised than I was, he stiffened and froze, and it took a long time to assure me.

"I don't know!" I rudely interrupted him, and I didn't want to believe it. He and I stood there at a loss, distressed by the clues that the letters had given us.

"No matter what, we should be sure of the truth of this matter!" I stretched hard and commanded, "Jame, gather everyone in the Seattle Middle School Paranormal Club at noon today, I'm going to do a test!" ”

Not bad. No matter what Jone saw when he died, no matter how he died. There should be an end to this matter. Whether it's for him who is already dead, or for ourselves who are alive, not dead, but whose lives are in danger at any time......

At noon, as soon as Shiya and I stepped into the Paranormal Club of Seattle Middle School, the crowd immediately quieted down. Nearly fifty-two pairs of eyes stared at me without blinking, and I coughed in embarrassment.

"What the hell is going on with Jone's death? Didn't you say that the curse has been lifted and no one will die again? Mark finally couldn't help himself, he stood up and asked me loudly, and many people immediately shouted in agreement.

I banged the door a few times, making a 'bang' sound, forcing them to be quiet, and then I said unhurriedly, "Why do you think Jone died of a curse?" ”

"But Jone looked exactly like Davy when he died. What is that not a curse? Mark was unforgiving.

"Didn't you listen to the forensic examiner? Jone died of a myocardial infarction, and he was related to Davy by blood, so it's not surprising that the two died of the same disease. ”

"But didn't you say that Davy died because of a curse?" Mark's voice grew quieter.

I put a smile on my face and said, "I'm just saying it's possible." Now it seems that Davy must have died of a myocardial infarction. As for the curse, I swear, it really doesn't exist anymore. ”

Seeing that I had said it all to this point, Mark was finally relieved. He smiled at me honestly, "I'm sorry for being so fierce to you just now." I just want to know if Jone was the thing that killed me. Jone is a good friend of mine, maybe I'm too sensitive. ”

"Jone is also my friend, and I will never let him die in vain!" I nodded to him sincerely, feeling a little guilty in my heart. It's not that I don't want to tell them that Jone didn't die suddenly of illness, it's that he can't. One is to prevent them from panicking, and the other is to be afraid of startling the snake.

With a false smile on my face, I exclaimed, "I'm sure you've learned from Jame the purpose of the meeting. I would like to ask you to do me a favor. I held up a stack of papers in my hand: "This is an investigation report from my summer vacation homework, and there is only one question. Please write down the answers you think are correct. Come on! He turned his head and said to Shiya, "Please help me get the test curls down." ”

I sat down on a random stool, looking at everyone's expressions casually. Many people are surprised or laugh or shake their heads when they see the questions in the exam paper. These emotions were completely unexpected. I waited patiently for several more minutes until the last person stopped writing. I motioned for Shiya to collect all the test papers.

"You can go, thank you for your cooperation and help. Can Jame and Shiya stay for a moment to help me sort things out? I took the paper and thanked everyone, and winked at them.

The two foxes nodded knowingly.

As soon as she walked into the research room of the Paranormal Club of Seattle Middle School, Huang Shiya's curiosity immediately exploded: "Night is silent, what the hell are you doing?" There was such a strange test question for everyone to do. ”

I ignored her and looked at the pile of tests to myself as I asked Jame, "Jame, have you investigated the room settings at the time of Davy's death?" ”

Jame nodded, "As you might guess, Davy should have received a call when he died. And like Jone, the microphones are not hung up. ”

"What about the results of the investigation at the telephone company?"

"Not at all. According to the medical examiner, both Davy and Jone died suddenly after midnight, around 1 a.m. The telephone company said that there were no calls made or outgoing at all during that time. Jame was distressed.

"Hey, they're asking you. Why ignore it! Shiya twisted my back, and I almost screamed in pain.

"What! Don't you see I'm busy? I glared at her. Jame saw that the two of us were about to spark, and immediately hurriedly walked out to play the round: "Annie, I'll explain it." "He told you all about the clues we had found this morning. Huang Shiya was suddenly surprised and couldn't say anything.

"You mean I didn't destroy it last time I didn't talk to Ye. And it's ...... now," she shook her head vigorously, trying not to convince herself of the terrible thought.

"That's why I don't want to tell you." I sighed: "This thing is so shocking, I'm afraid many people can't bear it." ”

"So you mean, that's true?" Shiya swallowed with difficulty. I smiled wryly and shook my head: "It's not certain yet, after all, we don't have conclusive evidence." Maybe it's all just a coincidence! ”

Huang Shiya and Jame glanced at each other, and then shook their heads and smiled bitterly in unison.

"Then again, what are you trying to prove with that weird quirky test?" Huang Shiya suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously.

"yes, to be honest, I want to know too!" Jame scratched his head and looked at me with blazing eyes.

"Huh? Anyway, I will explain it to you sooner or later. I'll use this question to test you. I glanced back at them and read the test question: "There's a girl, a beautiful girl." Her mother died suddenly. At her mother's funeral, the girl saw a very handsome boy. Cupid's arrow stabbed the girl in the heart the moment her sight made contact with the boy. After a short funeral, the girl did not have the courage to approach the boy, let alone take the initiative to talk to him. But the girl understands very well that it is the so-called love at first sight. She knew she was deeply in love with him.

After the funeral, unrequited love made the girl forget to sleep and eat, and she couldn't sleep at the table. She missed the boy like crazy. So three days later, she killed her sister. I smiled mysteriously at them, "My question is why did that girl kill her sister?" I remind you that there is only one correct answer. ”

"It's so easy!" Shiya first raised her hand and replied, "I thought about it just now, that boy must be the girl's brother-in-law or someone related to her sister, so she is jealous of her sister. In order to be with the person she loves forever, the girl finally kills her sister! ”

I asked Jame noncommittally, "What do you think?" ”

Jame thought heavily before replying, "Maybe the girl wanted to be with the boy, but her sister hated the boy and insisted that they wouldn't have a relationship." And they also used many despicable means to prevent them from meeting. In the end, the girl finally couldn't stand it anymore, and for the sake of her own happiness, she resolutely killed her old sister who hindered her happiness! ”

I let out a long sigh of relief and laughed, "It seems that your answers are normal. Yes, most people think that, so you're all wrong. I picked up the stack of test papers and continued, "But do you know that one of the 26 test papers actually got the answer right! ”

"Who is so smart?" Jame and Shiya immediately asked curiously.

"It's not a question of being smart or not." Although I still had a smile on my face, my expression became noticeably anxious: "By the way, do you want to know the correct answer?" ”

"Of course!" They immediately nodded eagerly.

"Hehe, I'm not that kind. I'll whet your appetite first, and I'll tell you tonight. I smiled wickedly and ran out quickly.

Huang Shiya and Jame were stunned for a moment, and then chased after me with clenched fists.

The mood is getting heavier and heavier. If the meaning of the letters in Jone's message to the deceased is a coincidence, then why does the result of this test coincide with those letters?

There was a proverb in ancient Egypt that said that the first time is the same, the second is called coincidence, and the third is inevitable. Nothing will be the same after three times is still a coincidence.

But what gives me a headache is that all the so-called clues now are my own judgment and speculation. Suddenly, I felt very panicked inside, maybe my guess was not wrong. The curse never disappeared at all, but was hidden in the shadows, slowly, silently, getting closer and closer to all the people in this town......
