Chapter 44: Video

Clicking on the video sent by Team Cai, several of us suddenly came to our senses, and the four of us gathered together, staring at my phone screen with wide eyes, nervous and excited at the bottom of our hearts.

The VCR was connected to an old-fashioned CCTV screen, which was pitch black, with a few snowflakes scattered around, a unique feature of the era, and I could faintly see the shadow of the Cai team sitting across the table from the screen.

Judging from the playback time on the video recorder, the videotape has already started to play, but there is still no picture on the screen, so we can only wait quietly.

After a few seconds, several figures suddenly flickered across the screen, and then the screen went black again, and I was taken aback and swallowed. The quality of the scene just now is still very dark, only slightly whiter in the shadows.

At this moment, the camera in the frame began to move, moving in the direction that the figure had just flashed. Then, five people appeared in the picture, wearing headlamps on their heads, and they were gathering around to put some things in their backpacks, and they couldn't see anything clearly, as if they were packing their luggage, and when they saw someone shooting, some of them looked up at the camera, and then buried their heads and continued to work. Of the five, I found out that one of them was a woman.

Then the camera pans to wait for the picture to stabilize, and what appears in the picture is several people digging a stone wall, two of them are responsible for hitting the stone wall with a hammer, and the other two are using a hoe to clean up the stone chips accumulated in front of the stone wall, and a young man wearing glasses is directing on the side, holding a pen and a notebook in his hand, and from time to time he will write something in the notebook.

The camera continues to advance, and then focuses on a corner, where a man sits in the corner, without a headlamp, but lit by a lit match in his left hand, with a notebook spread out on his lap, quickly writing something into the notebook. The shooting distance should be six or seven meters, the picture is a little blurry, next to the person, there should be a stone pillar attached to the stone wall, and only a black lump can be seen.

At this moment, suddenly, the picture on the screen suddenly distorted and distorted, and the person in the picture was distorted to the point that it was no longer possible to watch it normally, I guess it might be a video tape card. After a few seconds of this, the screen turned black again, and the video recorder's playback time showed that it had just been played for 11 minute and 17 seconds, and it was still moving forward second by second.

At this time, we saw that Team Cai pressed the fast-forward button, and after a while, the playback time suddenly came to 14 minutes and 27 seconds, and the screen appeared again.

As soon as the picture came out, a number of people stood in a row in turn, and if you look closely, you still go to the bag to stuff things and dig the stone wall first, they have all put down their work and stand together, looking at this formation, they should be ready to take a group photo.

The camera is zoomed out far so that everyone can be integrated into the shot, and we can see the structure of the whole environment.

They should be in a natural stone cave, the stone walls on all sides are extremely irregular, and there are stone pillars hanging from above their heads, and there are seven or eight packages of various sizes placed in front of everyone, it seems that their luggage has been packed, and a stone cave more than half a person high is also exposed on the wall on the other side, and in just ten minutes, they have broken through a robbery hole.

In the far corner behind the crowd, a man could still be seen sitting there, constantly writing things in his notebook, as if he had no intention of coming to take a picture with everyone.

The photographer began to use gestures to adjust the standing posture of the people, he deliberately left a gap in the human wall, so that the camera could just shoot the person sitting in the corner, although it was a group photo, but everyone kept a tense face, although they had tried to appear as relaxed as possible, but I could see that their nerves were always tight.

The cameraman arranged the standing posture of the crowd, fixed the camera on a rock, and then walked into the camera, he stood in a very inconspicuous position on the edge of the crowd, and only his face showed a shallow smile in the crowd, and the full beard bloomed with the smile.

……

At this moment, I can basically sit down with some of the people who appeared in the video, and the woman I found at the beginning must be Zhang Yuhua, because I can know from my father's manual that she is the only woman in the team.

The young man with glasses must have been the glasses in his mother's deathbed story, after all, there was no second person with glasses among the crowd.

I can't see the man sitting in the corner, but I know his identity best, he has a withdrawn and weird personality, and my intuition tells me that he is my father, the wolf!

Not to mention the person who took the camera, the bearded man is him.

At this moment, everyone appeared in the camera, I counted, a total of twelve! Compared to the first seventeen, there are five less!

I suddenly remembered the key information in my father's manual, in the column of Changbai Mountain, he clearly noted the words "two people have been solved", and in the column of Inner Mongolia, he remarked "three more people have been solved", a total of five people have been solved, and there are only twelve people in the video at the moment! Could it be that at this moment, three people have already been killed? Is this the reason why everyone is so worried?

……

The video continued, and when everyone took a group photo, the bearded man picked up the video recorder again, and the group began to enter the thief hole they had just opened. After everyone had entered, the camera was again focused on the father sitting in the corner, and the father waved his hand, presumably signaling the bearded man to go first, and he would come later.

Just as the father was about to put down his arm when suddenly, the image distorted again, until the whole frame was frozen and the tape was jammed again. However, the time display continues to play.

Team Cai pressed the fast-forward button again, and the time quickly came to 27 minutes and 11 seconds. The screen appears again, and it is directly a human face filling the entire screen! Too close to the camera, showing a hideous and distorted state! This scene came so suddenly, none of us were mentally prepared, and I couldn't help but shake my body!

When the camera is a little farther away, we can see the true face of this person, his face has a slight stubble, his eyebrows are thick and neat, and his skin is dark, obviously after years of washing and grinding, although he has a sense of vicissitudes and sinking, but between his eyebrows, it exudes a kind of boiling atmosphere, which makes us feel awe.

I've seen this face countless times in photos over the past 30 years, and he's my father! At this moment, I looked at him through the screen of my phone, and from his eyes, I seemed to be able to read a lot of complicated information.
