Chapter 187: Number 041 - Haunted House (6)
"So you know."
"Wonderful! You're the first to see what we've set up! Haha, Aoba Paranormal Office, right? You're not actually investigating any supernatural cases, you're just a general firm, are you? The supernatural is a gimmick, and your job is to dispel those superstitions and expose the truth of science. That's great! โ
"What do you guys do?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. You should have investigated, I am Xiao Xuri, I run a company at home, and I also opened a small company myself, I have money and leisure. I want to do something meaningful. This is a set I set up. โ
Da, da, da......
"Pinhole camera, and voice recorder. We were watching next door. Lao Shen is the actor we found. He's good, much better than the previous ones. โ
"Mr. Xiao, you're polite. I just study more and practice more......"
"We've found three groups of people so far, and you're the fourth group. The first three groups, huh- are you interested in watching? It's just a video, it hasn't been edited yet, and it will be edited when it is released, and the finished product will be a two-hour documentary-type movie. Oh, have you ever heard of DV movies? It's kind of similar to that one, but we're using a camera. โ
"It's impossible for such a film to be released, right?"
"It won't be on the big screen, but it will be on TV. Reveal the deception of the gods and goddesses, and let the ignorant people see their ugly faces. This is the slogan that I came up with, and I will ask the professionals to make a little modification in the future. โ
"We're not interested in that."
"That's a shame."
"Hopefully we don't appear in your documentary."
"Huh? You did a great job, calm, sensible, decisive, and I can assure you here that you will be a positive image in the film. Others will agree......"
"We're not interested. Don't clip us in. You won't want to mess with us. โ
"Hehe, I see. Your appearance in the camera will affect your future work, right? I get it. Don't worry, I don't need yours. No comparison, it's good. โ
"This is the end of this commission, and you will be troubled to call in time for the final payment."
"Okay, no problem. I'll contact you if you need anything in the future. Your investigation is very efficient. โ
"Thanks for the compliment."
On 29 August 2007, the investigation was closed.
On November 11, 2007, he received a call from Xiao Xuri. Telephone recording.
"Hello. Who is it? โ
"Hiss-hoo-hiss-hoo-"
"Hello, who are you?"
"Goo...... I am...... Xiao Xuri ......"
"Hello Mr. Xiao, is there something wrong?"
"I ...... I do not know...... I...... Lao Shen died...... Old Shen is dead......"
"Mr. Xiao, are you okay?"
"I'm not good, I'm bad! Lao Shen died, the second child went crazy, Brother Tian was sent out of the country by his family, I ...... I do not know...... Hiss-whew-whew-"
"Mr. Xiao, if you want to come to the office now. Do you know the address of the office? โ
"I know! I'll come over now! โ
On November 11, 2007, Xiao Xuri visited. Audio files.
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat."
"Lao Shen is dead."
"Well, you said it on the phone."
"He died inside the house."
"Oh."
"Aren't you surprised?"
"To be honest, no."
"Why?!"
"You invite people to catch ghosts, in fact, you are setting up a trick to deceive, we don't care about this, just collect the money, but some people are afraid that they will be unhappy."
"You mean, someone killed Lao Shen? How is this possible? None of the people we invited after that could kill anyone. Who can kill? Ha ha! Do you know how Lao Shen died? Cut the great artery with mirror fragments. The blood was all over the bathtub. Mutter...... Not only that, but there are also ...... Lao Shen's body was stuffed into the mattress. When we found him, he was covered in maggots...... ...... vomit"
"You don't think this could have been done by someone you hired?"
"Of course not! Forensic autopsies are incredible! The blood on Lao Shen's body is gone, do you understand? When a person's blood is drained, it requires tools, not an artery. How could that old stuff do it? Only...... Only ......"
"You suspect it's us?"
"I ...... It's not ......"
"We're going to kill people, and we're not going to do it ourselves. I'm sure some of the people you invite don't do it themselves. In addition to Shen Zhu, there is another crazy one, and the other one has gone abroad? โ
"Yes...... The three of us grew up in a compound. Brother Tian is the eldest, and he was sent abroad by his family. It was sent in a hurry, as if it was to avoid trouble, and his family has not been right recently. I asked, but I couldn't inquire. They were hiding from me at home. The elders in my family have looked for it, but they have also been blocked from the door. The dick is crazy. The second one he found the body first. We called the police, and we were all a little panicked. The second child was the first to watch the video. We've been keeping the surveillance on, so we're supposed to take pictures, but ...... I do not know...... The second child watched it, went crazy, and deleted the video. I don't know what I was filming...... I ......"
"You guessed it."
"W-What?"
"It can scare a person crazy, and the camera doesn't capture the image of a person committing a crime, but something that can't be explained by the science you believe in."
"I ......"
"The belief that I had been thinking all along collapsed, so I went crazy. The second child you are talking about is the most convinced that we are all liars, right? โ
โโฆโฆโ
"That Brother Tian, it seems that the family knows a lot. Speaking of which, how did you find us? When Shen Zhu came, he said that he had heard of us, did you hear about it? Rich people, there seem to be elders in the family who are in politics...... Is it our former principal? โ
โโฆโฆ Phewโโ...... Whewโ"
"That's how the other people you invited inquired about? Do you know what you're doing? โ
โโฆโฆ I don't know ......."
"You invited someone, it was that Brother Tian who inquired about the news."
"Yes...... It's Brother Tian...... There are people in his family who know about it. Initially, it was proposed by Brother Tian, and the second child was very supportive. The second grandmother is superstitious, and what she said for a bald donkey has always been very bad to the second child's mother, and she has been tossing their mother and son at home for decades. I'm just joining in the fun. I...... Is it okay? I haven't even met with anyone after you! โ
"I don't know. It's just Shen Zhu who died who stayed in the house? โ
"Yes."
"Maybe it's something in the house."
"Am I alright?"
"I don't know."
"Can you investigate? I'll pay! โ
"I don't want to get involved in this. They may just want to warn you. What happened to that Tiange after he went abroad? โ
"No news. I can't get in touch with Brother Tian. โ
"Inquire about the news again. Brother Tian's family may be settling this matter. If we intervene rashly, it will be counterproductive. โ
"That'...... Well......"
On November 24, 2007, he received a call from Xiao Xuri. Telephone recording.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao."
โโฆโฆ You...... Good...... I...... Call...... Woo-"
"Mr. Xiao, what's going on?"
"Brother Tian...... Dead ......"
"Dead? Dead abroad? โ
"No, he died in that house...... He secretly returned to his home country and then ...... I got a call from him...... He called me before he died......"
How can there be no young people who died in a horror story? โฎ(๏ฟฃโฝ๏ฟฃโ)โญ
