After a while, the white light in front of me dimmed, but other scenes appeared around me.

In the dark basement, littered with sand and cement bags, there was a man walking to the left of my vision, carrying a flashlight, and the white light from the flashlight hit the ground, turning the sand and cement white, and beyond the range that the beam could reach, the darkness seemed deeper.

As my vision became clearer, I recognized the person walking in front of me as Li Hu, who turned around from time to time and said something to me as he walked.

But I couldn't hear what he was saying, I could only see him open his mouth.

After following him for a distance, I suddenly thought, "Why does it smell fishy, like blood?" ”

I don't know how this inexplicable thought came to me, I didn't smell anything.

When I was about to reach the end of the basement, I saw a capital letter "A" painted on the wall not far away, and after seeing this letter, the white light appeared again, and my vision became blurred again, but my vision was still moving, although I didn't make any movement, my vision began to jolt rhythmically and rapidly, and I felt as if I was going down the stairs.

And at this time, the word "smelly" came to my head, and I didn't smell anything, but these two words still appeared in my head.

At this time, the light disappeared, and no other scenes appeared in my sight, but some fragments of words kept appearing in my mind.

"It hurts", "Don't kill me, I still have a wife and children", "I don't know you, I will never say it", "Ghost", "It's painful", "Let me die"...... As these words kept appearing, a feeling of extraordinary despair came over me, not in me, but in someone else.

Yes, I had the feeling that there was another soul in my body.

The words kept coming to my head until they disappeared, and the sight became very clear for a split second.

I saw a very thin old man, squatting in front of me in a blood-red suit, looking at me with a wicked smile, and in the afterglow, I also saw Mao Chi Chong and Li Hu standing behind him.

The clarity of my vision lasted only five or six seconds, after which my vision went dark.

I opened my eyes and looked at my master, and I knew that the expression on my face must have been particularly surprised.

Master looked at me with a smile and said, "It seems that the acting has been successful, does it feel like a ghost?" ”

I nodded, and then said, "I just saw a lot of things that seem real, but they seem to be very illusory. ”

Master nodded and said to me, "That's right, the things that are deduced by the technique of acting out are indeed similar to illusions, and many times, we need to guess the content of the illusions in order to know what happened to the deceased until he died. ”

Then Master asked me what I saw, and I depicted in detail the images and words that had just appeared in my field of vision and in my mind.

Listening to my words, Master gradually frowned, and it was not until I finished my words that Master said to me, "It is very likely that what appeared in your mind just now was not an illusion, but the real experience of the road foreman before he died. ”

After saying that, Master walked over to another corpse, lifted the white cloth, raised his chin at the corpse, and motioned for me to perform a deduction on this corpse.

I dipped ink from the fountain and put it on the corpse's eyebrows, performing a small arithmetic.

Soon, what Master called "visions" appeared in my mind again. ”

First a white light led me forward, then the white light faded, and there was a sunny road, a roadside fruit vendor, staring at a huge hunchback, wearing a straw hat, and the shadow covered his face, but I could still recognize him.

He's a stumbling species.

After that, the scenery in my vision became distorted, and the surrounding flowers and trees fluctuated rapidly like floating shadows in the water.

A strange thought popped into my head: "This is heaven, this is heaven, I volunteered to be a sacrifice, volunteered to ......"

I couldn't help but frown, but I couldn't help but take my breath of patience and quietly look at the scene in my sight.

After a few minutes, it was first a miserable whiteness, and then the vision became very clear.

I saw the squatting in front of me, he was holding a pair of scissors in his hand, cutting the muscles and skin of my abdomen and chest like a shrimp shell, and behind him stood the thin old man in red, who was staring at me with a smile on his face, the wrinkles on his face were unusually deep, and his whole face looked like a cracked old bark.

Another few seconds passed, and all that could be seen was darkness.

I recounted in detail what I saw to Master, who thought about it for a while, and the distortion and fluctuation of the flowers and trees showed what illusions the deceased saw at that time, but the illusions he saw did not appear in my mind, so I could only see reality being distorted.

And the phrase "heavenly sacrifice" that came to my mind should have been the thought of the deceased after he had been deluded, in other words, he was killed of his own volition.

Then I performed on the last two corpses, both of whom were deluded before they died, and both of them were killed voluntarily in a deluded state. At this point, the few dead in the back are very different from the road foreman.

But whether it was the road foreman or the three deceased, they all had one thing in common, that is, at the last moment when they returned to the light, they all saw the old man in red.

I discussed it with Master and thought that the old man in red was probably the last person in red to bow his head.

In the case of several people, some people only saw Li Hu, and the Mao Worm Seed was not present, and some people only saw the Mao Worm Seed, and Li Hu was not present, only when the road foreman died, the Mao Worm Seed and Li Hu were there.

But no matter who it was, they all saw the old man in red before they died, which seems to show that the old man in red is the instigator behind Li Hu and Mao Chi.

Given that the road foreman was the most unique of the victims, the place of death was also the most hidden. Master finally decided to go to the construction site of the dormitory building and conduct a second survey of the site of the road foreman.

Senior Brother Feng did not object, and immediately transferred a car and asked someone to send us over.

When I left the morgue, my master suddenly remembered Master Chengyun and asked me Senior Brother Feng, "What did the great monk do, why didn't he see others?" ”

Senior Brother Feng said: "After coming to the bureau, I went to the roof activity room to recite the scriptures, but I never came down. ”

Master nodded and walked straight out of the morgue.

Senior Brother Feng didn't plan to go with us, he said that in addition to so many murders in one day, he needed to report the situation to the upper floor in the afternoon, because Ma Jianguo had already surveyed the death scene of the road foreman once before, and he was familiar with the basement, Senior Brother Feng asked him to go with us.

In addition to Ma Jianguo, the second master also followed.

After the death of the road foreman, the construction of the teacher's dormitory building was stopped, but the workers were still there, and when Ma Jianguo's car passed by the steel frame room, several workers could still be heard playing poker and shouting.

Ma Jianguo parked the car at the gate of the construction site, asked the local workers for the key, and opened the door.

The second master asked Ma Jianguo: "Why didn't you pull the cordon at the scene of the crime?" ”

"This is a school, and it is easy to cause speculation and panic among students when a cordon is set up in such a place." Ma Jianguo said as he entered the door and hung the door lock on the latch.

He stood by the door and waited, until Master and I entered the door, and then he took out a flashlight and walked towards a building that seemed to be almost finished.

Ma Jianguo walked in front and introduced us to the situation: "The new teacher's apartment is six buildings connected together, and the basement of each building is also connected, and the corridor in the basement is very long, and the road foreman died in a partition room at the end of the corridor. ”

To be honest, just listening to Ma Jianguo say this, my mind didn't come up with the basement scene at all, and I didn't know what he meant by "partition room".

When he came to the front of the dormitory building, Ma Jianguo stopped and seemed to be recognizing something, and after a while, he walked quickly into the easternmost unit door, and a few of us followed him in.

After entering the unit door, I walked down a staircase of only ten knots to the basement corridor of the dormitory building, this corridor was indeed very long, Ma Jianguo shook the flashlight, but the beam of the flashlight could not reach its end.

Ma Jianguo kept walking due west, and said: "The entrances of the other units are blocked by building materials, and you can only enter from the easternmost side, and the partition where the body of the road foreman is found is at the west end of the corridor." ”

I didn't speak, just walked quietly, and as I walked, I saw a pile of sand not far away that was illuminated by the beam of a flashlight.

This pile of sand, I saw it when I was acting, the person in charge of the lamp at that time was Li Hu, and the light shone on this pile of sand, which also showed such a miserable whiteness.

I looked again at the areas that couldn't be covered by the flashlight, and the darkness in those places was as deep as what I had seen during the show.

I'm absolutely sure that what I saw in the show was the basement corridor in front of me.

While thinking about this, I suddenly felt a little more confident that maybe we could really find some useful clues this time.

Not long after walking, the flashlight beam illuminated the end of the hallway, and I saw a capital A written on the wall at the end of the wall in paint.

And next to this letter, there stands a wooden plank more than one person high.

My master looked at the wooden board and frowned, "What is this board for?" ”

Ma Jianguo shook his head: "I don't know, it's directly built in the ground with cement." ”

Speaking of this, he shone his flashlight on the other side of the board, and I saw that about a meter away from the plank, there was the side wall of the underground corridor. The angle between this wooden board and the wall together encloses a semi-enclosed small space, and I realized that this is what Ma Jianguo called the "partition room".

Ma Jianguo pointed to the small space and said to my master: "This is the place where we found the body of the road foreman, when we found him, he was sitting on the ground, with his back against the wooden plank, except for the road foreman, there was no obvious blood around him. We suspect that after he was killed, his body was transferred to this place. ”
