Xu Zibiao said: "What's the matter, you say." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "That's right, there was a murder here in our unit in the morning. I'd like to ask you a little bit about the situation. I wonder if it will violate your discipline? ”

"Oh, that's it, I think about it. Well, where is your unit and what is its name? I'll inquire, if it doesn't involve secrets, I can tell you ordinary situations. ”

I nodded happily and told him the exact address.

"Okay, you wait for my letter!"

Hanging up the phone, I walked over to Li Xin and said, "I asked a friend to see if I can learn more about the situation." ”

He nodded.

Looking at the watch, it was not early, and the two of us walked towards the set together.

Director Wang told everyone that he was going to shoot the location today. But the female number one suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so she filmed a few scenes of supporting roles in the studio in the morning, and transported the wax figures to the rented location villa in the afternoon. Tomorrow will officially shoot the location scene.

In the morning, I played a small melon-eating crowd in the studio. Not bad, there are two lines.

I'm very serious about acting, and I cherish my current job.

In the afternoon, I loaded the wax figures into the car with everyone and then went to the location with the car. The car drove for more than half an hour and stopped in front of a three-story Western-style villa on the outskirts of the city.

After getting out of the car, I looked up at the building in front of me.

The architectural style of the whole villa is imitation European retro style. Although the exterior walls are mottled and covered with weeds and moss, they cannot hide the original luxury of the villa.

A few of us walked to the gate, and Director Wang opened the door with the key.

With a "squeak", the heavy door was pushed open, and a puff of dust came in.

Walking in, there are curtains hanging on the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby on the first floor, so the surroundings are dim.

The field manager Xiao Sun looked around and said to the external producer: "This place is really suitable, and everyone who is in broad daylight feels a yin atmosphere." ”

Hearing this, I felt Li Xin's body tremble slightly.

We unloaded all the wax figures, and then Director Wang instructed everyone to place them on the corresponding floor and at the corresponding point.

I found that Li Xin was out of state the whole time, looking restless.

In the evening, we all packed up. Director Wang and the field staff stayed, and let a few of us go back first.

I was walking outside the villa with Li Xin when my mobile phone rang. It's Xu Zibiao.

Answering the phone, his voice came from the other end.

"Peace, I've learned something. I'm telling you, this is a bit of an evil thing! ”

"Hey, Biaozi, you're so efficient, thank you! So, let's meet and say, okay? How about having dinner together for a while? I said.

Xu Zibiao thought for a while and said, "Okay, I haven't seen you for so long." Then let's meet and talk. ”

I set a time and place, hung up the phone, and my colleagues and I got in the car and returned to the office together.

I said to Li Xin, who looked terrified: "Brother Li, don't think nonsense. I'll go with my friends to find out the situation first. ”

Li Xin nodded and went back to the dormitory.

According to the agreed time and place, I arrived a little early. It didn't take much time, Xu Zibiao came over from afar.

I quickly stood up to meet him, and he was happy to see me.

We punched each other and then sat on each other's shoulders.

Although they haven't seen each other for four or five years, the relationship between the brothers has not been estranged at all.

After sitting down, we ordered something to eat, and we opened up the conversation.

"Ping'an, are you in the entertainment industry now? Did you forget your brother when you became a wrist? Xu Zibiao asked me seriously.

I "fluttered" and was happy: "The entertainment industry? Don't make trouble, I'm just a trick, tired of running every day. It's true that you forgot to give you a new number, but to say forget brother, it doesn't exist! ”

"That's pretty much it, if you dare to forget my brother, you'll spit out all the food you used to eat at my house!" Xu Zibiao has always been so bold.

"Hey, Ping'an, how are you doing now?"

I put down my chopsticks and said seriously: "Dude now has a house, a car and a deposit, and the mix is called a good thing." The key is that I didn't rely on anyone to do all this, I worked hard to imagine it alone! ”

Xu Zibiao was stunned for a second after hearing this, and then punched me on the shoulder and laughed: "You kid, this broken mouth!" ”

After a while, let's get to the point.

Xu Zibiao's expression became serious: "Ping'an, I inquired in the afternoon, this case is a bit evil!" Tell me why you're so interested in this. ”

I thought about it, there was no need to hide between the brothers, so I told him the whole process before and after.

He didn't speak for a long time.

"Biaozi, what is the situation of the evil nature you are talking about?"

Xu Zibiao put down his chopsticks and looked at me.

"The deceased had obvious red finger marks on his neck, which they deduced was mechanical asphyxiation. However, when the autopsy was conducted, it was discovered that the deceased was not strangled to death! ”

"Oh? What was the cause of death? I hurriedly asked.

"The deceased turned out to have died of multiple organ failure caused by severe blood loss! But they searched all over the body, and there was not a single open wound, including a pinhole! ”

I took a breath: "In other words, without any external injuries, Lao Zhao's blood is dry?" ”

Xu Zibiao nodded and said, "It can be understood so." ”

"How is that possible? It's so unscientific! Where did his blood go? "My voice was a little loud, and the two diners around me looked straight at me.

Xu Zibiao shook his head and said, "I don't know, so it's an evil sect." I retook two photos from the dossier, you see. ”

As he spoke, he took out his phone and handed it over.

The first is a photograph of the deceased. I just looked at it, and I felt my heart beat faster—

In the photo, Master Zhao's face is black and red, his face is tightly pressed against the bones, wrinkled, and a pair of eyes are staring abruptly. The arms are also skinny and bone-covered, and the two hands look like chicken paws, dry and slender, with distinct joints.

I can understand how Li Xin felt at that time. I saw reproductions of not very clear photographs, let alone real corpses.

I swiped back the screen, and the second one was a ring. The style is very old, with a small oval ruby, which does not look high-grade. There is also a layer of membranous stuff stuck to the ring surface.

"Where did this ring come from?"

"Crushed under the body of the deceased."

"What's stuck to this?" I asked again.

"It's wax. I don't know why this thing is sticking to the surface. ”

Hearing this, I was shocked and looked at Xu Zibiao.

He also looked at me, as if guessing what I was thinking: "Do you suspect that wax figure did it?" ”

I nodded.

Xu Zibiao frowned and said, "This is too weird!" It's unbelievable. ”

"I know it's hard to believe you as a police officer, but some things ......"

Xu Zibiao waved his hand: "I understand, there are several unexplained supernatural cases on their criminal police team every year. Everyone knows it in their hearts, but no one knows it. ”

I patted him on the shoulder.

"What time did Master Zhao die?" I asked again.

When Xu Zibiao told me the time of Lao Zhao's death, I suddenly poured cold water on my head.
