Case XXIV: Same as 1
introduction
You're like no other.
I'm also unique.
But you began to learn everything about me.
I can only imitate your actions.
Are you trying to replace me at some point?
Will I be you in the next second?
Endless imitation and learning, we all become the same characters.
Something has begun to die until there is no more me and you.
body
"Class!"
"Stand up!"
The whole class "brushed" and stood up in unison.
"Hello students!"
"Hello teacher!"
"You may be seated!"
The whole class sat down with a "brush" and was uniform.
Teacher Wang had pride on his face, obviously very satisfied, and this group of students gave themselves a long face.
R Middle School, Senior 2 (1) class.
This is an open Chinese class, the teacher Wang Ji, the 33-year-old female teacher, was awarded the Spring Silkworm Award for Education in Z Province at a young age, and her future is limitless.
Teacher Wang glanced around and found that the teachers from all the schools below were looking at him with admiration.
Except for the three unfamiliar faces who sat in school uniforms and kept looking around in the middle of the teachers.
"Anyway, you've graduated, why are you coming back to class?" Zhou Hao asked.
"I heard that there is a very good teacher in our school, no matter which class she teaches, her Chinese scores are all high, and it has become a legend." Jiang Tian whispered, "Our Hao Guiju, a 'good' teacher, has listened to her classes for three years, but I failed the college entrance examination!" Be a Chinese without a face! ”
"Hey, Jiang Tian, you are embarrassed to say, which Chinese class have you taken seriously in the past three years? It's not playing with your phone or reading a novel, what about your face? Zhou Hao said.
"By Chen. It's ...... bare," Jiang Tian said casually.
"I said, you can just come, why do you want to take me?" Fang Jinyu touched his neck, the overly tight neckline made him very uncomfortable, and in desperation, Fang Jinyu loosened a button, "I'm here to go to college in H City, not to remember high school life...... Besides, this dress is too small, Jiang Tian, you are so thin. Fang Jinyu said angrily.
"It's still short." Zhou Hao added.
"Zhou Hao, you're enough!" Jiang Tian shouted.
"Those three classmates, you are enough!" Wang Ji couldn't bear it any longer, and put the language book on the podium.
She had always resented the chatter of people speaking in class, and she hated it when someone disagreed.
"If you three whisper again, go out and talk, don't disturb the other classmates in class!"
The whole class turned their heads at the same time and glanced at Jiang Tian and the others, and then turned their heads at the same time.
The three of them suddenly felt a little creepy.
Dozens of different people, but as mechanical and coordinated as one person.
Dozens of different pairs of eyes, but only one gaze......
After class, Jiang Tian, Fang Jinyu and Zhou Hao stood in the corridor, leaning on the railing.
"I remember that Z University of Science and Technology only starts in mid-September every year, Lao Fang, why did you come here in early September?" Jiang Tian asked.
"Ever since I watched that 3,000-episode TV series, I've been completely rotten and moldy at home." Fang Jinyu sighed, "So it's better to come to H City early to play, and get familiar with it by the way." But I didn't expect that not long after I arrived here, I was dragged here by you to listen to the class......"
"Hey, hey." Jiang Tian hid his embarrassment with laughter.
"By the way, Jiang Tian, where did you get in?" Zhou Hao asked.
"W big, in W City." Jiang Tian shrugged.
"Your grades, it's still okay to stay in H City, right? Why do you run so far? Fang Jinyu asked.
"Alas, you don't understand the hardships of our H City, the road is blocked like that...... Old Fang, you will understand later. Jiang Tian looked at Zhou Hao, "But you old boy can, you actually went to Z University of Technology, I asked, Xiao Xuanxuan is also on Z University of Technology, what are you ......?"
Zhou Hao had a smug smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.
At this time, Jiang Tian's mobile phone rang, and it was Shen Sen calling.
"Let us observe a moment of silence for the dead." Jiang Tian said inexplicably, "Brother Shen, this old boy called me, maybe there was a murder somewhere." ”
Jiang Tian's face had a nonchalant expression.
Fang Jinyu frowned, and suddenly snatched the phone.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Tian was puzzled.
"You've changed."
"What?"
Fang Jinyu gently placed his phone on the windowsill.
"There's something I can't see in your eyes." Fang Jinyu looked at Jiang Tian's eyes, "Back then, at the scene of Wang Zuhao's crime, you didn't treat the deceased with this kind of look and tone. ”
Fang Jinyu turned to leave, Jiang Tian looked at his back and didn't speak.
"If you're not a policeman, you don't want to, and you shouldn't treat the dead with the attitude of a policeman."
Fang Jinyu's last sentence reached Jiang Tian's ears and lingered in his mind for a long, long time.
"Hello?"
"There was a murder case in Colorful Primary School, the case is serious, come over quickly!"
Jiang Tian put down his phone.
"There is no fluctuation in my heart...... Am I really, changed? ”
My mind was pulled back to a year ago, looking at that desk, how scared and uneasy I was at that time!
At that time, Jiang Tian looked at the empty Qi Lan seat, and for the first time he felt that death was so close to him.
He panicked inexplicably, and his gaze was quickly withdrawn by himself, and he no longer dared to look.
Some people say that they don't have it, and they change when they say it's changed. Without warning, unconsciously.
Colorful Elementary School.
If there really is a devil in this world, then it must have an identity: a murderer who predicates on children!
Jiang Tian really didn't dare to think about what this group of children had experienced before they died.
They must have seen hell.
On the playground track of the colorful elementary school, five bloody skeletons are neatly placed.
Their flesh and skin were all stripped away, and only the blood-colored bones were left to tell their sorrows. Their heads were all turned to the right.
In the kitchen of the school cafeteria, there is a large cauldron boiling, exuding the smell of fishy meat, and in it is boiled unknown flesh and offal, mixed with fingernails, eyeballs, hair, and a few red scarves......
"Pigs and dogs are not as good!" Shen Sen scolded fiercely.
Five students were brutally murdered, and their flesh, organs, and tissues were removed and thrown into a boiling pot.
The five deceased are not identified for the time being, except that they are most likely the five missing students of classes six (3) and six (4).
Haoyang Chen, Wei Chen, Jian Lin, Cheng Li and Yiming Zhang.
Jiang Tian knelt on the ground, his body trembled, his eyes were distracted, his breathing was rapid and heavy, and he muttered:
"Unforgivable...... Unforgivable ......"
Fang Jinyu walked into a Chinese restaurant.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Jinyu felt that something was wrong.
All the customers and waiters in the restaurant are squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the huge Chinese restaurant is surprisingly quiet.
A middle-aged man in a suit sat on a seat against the wall inside, with a lot of beer bottles on the table in front of him, drinking beer with a wine glass in his left hand, and a double-barreled shotgun with a sawn cut in his right hand, pointing at Fang Jinyu.
"Find a place, hold your head in your hands, and squat down slowly!" The man spoke.
"I'll go!" Fang Jinyu secretly scolded, "How can you be so unlucky, you can still encounter a robbery after a meal!" Anyway, shouldn't you go to a gold store or a bank, grab a restaurant, what the hell is this! ”
Double-barreled shotguns use shotguns, which have a wide killing range. Fang Jinyu didn't know if the man would really shoot, and he was not sure that he would run out of the rain of bullets, so for safety, he had no choice but to go to the corner and squat down with his head in his hands.
The man nodded in satisfaction and continued to drink.
"Gotta find a way to call the police." Fang Jinyu muttered to himself.
"He had just called the police himself."
Fang Jinyu was squatting beside a very beautiful young girl, about twenty years old. She heard Fang Jinyu's words, leaned over and whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"He just turned himself in to the police, but it's strange that he didn't mean to release us, it seems that he wanted to use us as hostages, as a bargaining chip in exchange for someone."
"Swap?"
"He made a request to the police and said he wanted to see someone."
……
On the evening of September 7, several parents of students reported to the class teacher that their children had not yet returned home. The school immediately organized manpower to search for and contact the police, and the local police station also hurriedly dispatched police forces to investigate near the school. But after searching every corner of the school and all the business premises in the town, no five students were found. Surveillance was retrieved and it was found that the student left the school at around 6:30 p.m. on the 7th, and then disappeared.
On September 9, at around 7 a.m., the teacher who was jogging in the morning was horrified to find five corpses on the playground.
