Chapter 9: The Curse
It was Momo who said this, she held her chin like a deer, and said thoughtfully: "Did you notice any traces of blood on the ground last night? ”
"Not really, it was a bit chaotic last night and the lighting wasn't too good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Fawn Road.
"Then I can come up with another hypothesis! The place where Lu Jie fell was actually directly below the window, but was dragged a short distance later. ”
"Why would anyone drag a corpse?" I was puzzled.
"To cover up the real drop!" Xiaolu suddenly said excitedly, "Oh, it's all my fault, I really didn't look closely at the bloodstains last night!" ”
I pushed him hard, and said that this kid was not good at observing last night, and now I finally have a little sense of accomplishment, and I was all ruined by them!
"That means he was dragged a short distance for some reason after he fell down from the dormitory, and he got between 426 and 428?" I asked, glancing at the wet marks on the ground.
The imprint covered the area under the two windows, and it was no longer possible to tell where the blood was located.
"Nope! He fell from 426! Xiaolu said with a serious face.
“426? Isn't that the dormitory of the Four Eyes? ”
"That's right! When Lu Jie fell, Huang Zhiqiu should have been next to him, and in order not to make people suspicious, he wanted to drag the body back under the window of 428. But it didn't take long for someone to open the window to check the situation, and he was forced to leave. So the corpses were placed between the windows of 426 and 428! This is the only plausible explanation. The fawn finished his analysis excitedly.
"Then you just said that Lu Jie fell down in the process of climbing, this explanation is quite reasonable!" I retorted.
"I've never been sure that the reason for this assumption is distance." Xiaolu continued, "The distance between the windows is more than one meter, if you force it to cross, there is no good point of borrowing, it is difficult for normal people to do it, not to mention that there is no way to accurately judge the specific location of the window at night, and ordinary people will not take risks." ”
"Why are you sure it's Four-Eyes who dragged the corpse? There are other people in his dorm. ”
"You don't know yet, Huang Zhiqiu's two roommates didn't come back at all last night, they went to a dormitory on the second floor to play cards!" A sly smile appeared on the fawn's face.
I can't believe that Fawn has investigated in such detail, but since he has ignored the bloodstains, it proves that he is not the kind of person I imagined to be meticulous.
I then raised the doubts in my heart: "According to your logic, Lu Jie fell from the empty dormitory, why was he so stupid as to jump off the building, or did he jump from the four-eyed dormitory?" ”
Maybe he was in Huang Zhiqiu's dormitory, and he saw something incomprehensible that frightened him, knowing that his behavior was already a little uncontrollable before that. But you'll have to go to 426 to find out! ”
We decided to go to the dormitory of Four Eyes, but Momo had to be temporarily separated from us because it was inconvenient to enter.
The hallway on the fourth floor is full of all kinds of garbage and debris, and it looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time. The hallway is very long, with a single room on the left hand side and a double room on the right hand side, which is the same as the structure of the fifth floor where we live.
The fawn and I came to the door of 426, which was hidden and only chained from the inside. Looking through the crack in the door, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside, as if the roommate of Four-Eyed hasn't come back yet, and eighty percent of them are asleep in someone else's dormitory.
The fawn found a long strip of thin steel pipe, reached into the crack of the door, fumbled for a while, and with a light pick, the chain opened.
I know that such a trespass is theft, but in this ghost town, as long as you don't offend the guard, no one cares what you do! Besides, it's not about morality anymore, and finding out the truth may help us understand ghost towns.
Pushing open the door, a sour smell came from the surface. Oh my God, there's a lot of people living in this house. I sighed to myself.
Xiaolu touched the location of the door lock and frowned, "This door lock is broken, so they got a chain to lock the door." ”
"But this chain is too watery, you can open it outside! No wonder Lu Jie can sneak in while no one is inside! ”
As I spoke, I was drawn to a drawing on a table. Above it was a parchment with pencil folds at the corners, and on the right were some strange pictograms, exactly twelve of them in a circle.
As if sensing something, I hurriedly took out my school card. The pattern on the drawing is exactly the same as on the school card, as if it was copied from the school card.
"This should be Huang Zhiqiu's desk, and his roommates told me that he spends his days studying these strange patterns and doesn't talk to people, so his roommates rarely go back to the dormitory during the day." The fawn said to me.
Looking at the drawings, I vaguely felt that this pattern was really a bit familiar, just like looking at the school card that day, I can't think of where I saw it. Maybe after coming to the ghost town, I had to be suspicious of everything I saw.
"There's nothing special here, what do you think Lu Jie saw?" I asked the fawn.
The fawn ignored me, but took the card and compared it with the drawing. I saw that he was very serious, and I was too embarrassed to disturb him, so I didn't ask any more questions.
Suddenly, he frowned, seemed to have made a discovery, pointed to the drawings and said to me, "Little shy, look! There are ten symbols on the card, two of which are duplicated with the others, which means that there are only eight different symbols. ”
"Not bad!" I counted, and there were indeed two duplicates.
"If you look at this picture drawn by Huang Zhiqiu again, twelve different symbols form a circle, since it is a copy, how did he draw the other four?"
Listening to his explanation, I also frowned. It is true that there are twelve different symbols drawn on the paper, but four of them are not found on the card, and the positions of these four extra symbols are exactly in the four directions of the circle.
I shook my head, puzzled by the symbol.
"At least one thing can be explained now, that is, Huang Zhiqiu and Lu Jie must know the secret of this symbol!" There was a confident glint in the fawn's eyes.
"Do you mean that after Lu Jie saw these four extra symbols, he was like he had fallen into an evil spirit, and he couldn't find his direction for a while, so he wanted to jump out of the window and escape?"
"That's pretty much it!"
"Could it be that this symbol is a kind of spell? Is this curse on Lu Jie? That's not right! Why are we all right! ”
"Maybe people who really understand the meaning of symbols will be scared!" Fawn Road.
"Let's go find Four-Eyes! I don't believe that he won't say anything about human life! After saying that, I took the fawn's hand and wanted to go out.
"Do you know where to look for him?"
I was really stunned when he asked me this. I'm an impatient person, I do whatever comes to my mind, and I never think about the details or even the consequences. It seems that it is indeed time to learn from the deer with a cool head.
"Come with me!" The fawn waved confidently.
