Chapter 35: 2-17 Something more terrifying than a ghost
It didn't take long to see Wei Wei in a red dress again, but the second time she stepped into the door with the word "Dian", Coco still felt in a trance. The first head of the headless female corpse serial case was found here, although the case is still groping in chaos, but the discovery of the human head is like a boundary, slowly pulling the whole thing out of the water.
The eerie photographs on the bookshelves were still in place, and Coco lingered among the yellowed photographs, waiting quietly.
"Xun Keran." Weiwei stepped out from behind the curtain.
"Oh, I'll return your box." Coco placed the rosewood box in her hand on the table.
"Don't you need to keep your physical evidence?"
"The tests that should be done are done, and the box is what you use when you install the human head later, and there is basically no evidence of strength, besides...... The box seems to be precious. ”
Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, then let out a giggle, "You met Li Yiji, didn't you?" ”
Coco nodded, remembering what Li Yiji said before leaving that day, which made her feel uncomfortable for no reason, and she endured it again and again, so she didn't ask Weiwei about the origin of the rosewood box.
Wei Wei didn't say any more, her black eyes seemed to glow, and she stared at Coco tightly.
"Xun Keran......" Weiwei's voice was soft, as if floating in the air, "What strangers have you been in contact with lately?" ”
Coco looked at her inexplicably.
"You...... There's a smell that shouldn't be there. ”
Coco frowned, she always knew Wei Wei strangely, trying not to think about what kind of person she was, but she would always say something creepy, "What do you mean?" ”
"You may think I'm playing tricks, but I'm serious about telling you that you've met someone you shouldn't have met."
"Huh?" Coco's eyes widened as she looked at the woman in the red dress in front of her.
"You can understand it this way, everyone will have a special smell, not just a smell, but more like an aura around you, I can feel that the maker of that human head, that person's aura has left traces on you, that cruel, bloody, distorted smell."
Coco was stunned and stunned.
That person's aura, which person?
"You mean...... Murderer? ”
Wei Wei looked at her quietly.
For some reason, her words made Coco think of the black cat, the pupils that flashed with a strange look in the dark night, and the shiver she felt involuntarily when she was stared at by it, the first time she saw the black cat, wasn't it here.
"Weiwei, you...... Have a cat? ”
Weiwei shook her head.
Coco opened her mouth to say and hesitated, but finally decided to say it, "There is a black cat, I always meet it in different places these days, and every time I meet it, I feel very ......"
"Pure black cat?"
"There are two rings of white fur on the tail, and the rest of the place is black, and the eyes seem to be green." Coco didn't know if it was her delusion, and she always thought of a green flame when she remembered those flickering cat eyes.
Wei Wei's eyes became complicated, turned around, but began to pour tea, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Do you know that in history, black cats have always been a special creature? ”
Coco shook her head inexplicably.
"In ancient Egyptian mythology, cats are the guardians of the gates of hell, and in ancient Chinese tombs, there is a terrible tomb beast called cat ghosts, and among all cats, the black cat is the most unique."
Coco interrupted Weiwei, "If you want to tell ghost stories, you don't have to......"
"I'm not scaring you," Wei Wei's voice suddenly raised and became stern, as if facing a student who didn't listen to the teaching, "I don't know what others say, but I, Wei Wei, tell you, **** black cats, usually have unjust souls." ”
Wei Wei's expression was very serious, "Especially when you meet such a strange cat. ”
Coco's master Chang Feng always teaches that you should pay attention not to engage in superstition and look at forensic work in a scientific way, but then he will say in a completely different tone that our science is also developing, and there are still many things that cannot be explained with existing knowledge, which does not mean that they are unreasonable.
Coco felt that she was standing at such a fork in the road, and Weiwei's words were like a ghostly spell, reminding Coco that maybe there was something unknowable staring at her, and on the other hand, her own experience along the way was trying to tell her that what I did was worthy of my conscience, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Wei Wei sighed softly, and the steaming kettle made the sound of boiling water again, and the creaking sound echoed in the quiet room, and the small wind chimes in the window swayed slightly.
"Xun Keran, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Coco was silent.
"In my opinion, the devil in people's hearts is far more terrible than ghosts." As she said this, Wei Wei glanced at the yellowed photos on the bookshelf, then lowered her eyebrows and quietly drank her tea.
Coco looked at her eyes, who in those yellowed photos had done anything that could make you feel like this?
――――――――――――――
Leaving Weiwei's cabin, her words are still lingering in Coco's ears, don't ignore your instincts, it will save your life.
In front of me is the lush color of the back garden of the funeral home, it was already dusk in a trance, although it is located in the center of the city, but the funeral home is always a quiet place, no one will want to stay here quietly, the sun has the last little residual heat to jump between the leaves, the small white flowers spread all over the grass and sway, you can pat your cheeks with force, want to concentrate some wandering thoughts, Wei Wei said this, how to explain, a supernatural intuition? Or a kind reminder?
The coat pocket suddenly vibrated and the phone rang.
"Coco, where are you?" Da Xuan's voice gave Xun Keran a sense of support for suddenly finding his direction.
"Hualong Funeral Home, I'm about to come out."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, "It's almost dark, what are you doing at the funeral home!?" Have you forgotten that you still want to invite Guji to dinner at night? Stay at the door and don't move, I'll be there in ten minutes. ”
Coco really wanted to argue that it was still far from dark when she got here, but somehow, Da Xuan's eager tone made her heart suddenly feel very warm, it turned out that someone was worried about herself, this is the feeling.
"Well, I'll wait for you."
Hanging up the phone, she walked towards the gate with a brisk pace that was different from before.
Xun Keran didn't notice that in the slightly swaying grass behind him, a dark shadow stood quietly.
