Chapter 34: The Strange Candle

For the four deceased, A, B, C, and D were used to replace their names, so as not to be confused when there were too many names.

A was the first to die.

In today's society, the people's awareness of the law is very strong, and if someone dies in the building, it is natural to call the police. The police acted quickly, arriving at the scene a few minutes later and conducting an investigation.

There is surveillance in the elevator, and the video is stored in the monitoring machine in the security room.

The footage shows that the deceased was alone on the eighth floor on the elevator, and when the elevator was just running, he began to mumble to himself, and since there was no sound in the surveillance video, it was not known what he was talking about. Then he began to look terrified, and kept backing to a corner of the elevator room, and then his expression became more and more exaggerated, closer and closer to the expression of death.

The footage turned into a snowflake at this point, and a minute later, the footage returned to normal, the elevator door was opened, and a man walked in, saw the deceased, screaming, and waving his hands irregularly. Soon, several more people rushed into the elevator. Soon, someone took out their mobile phone and started calling the police.

After that, it was the scene after the police came, taking pictures, surveying the scene, and carrying away the body, and the results were not surprising, the deceased died of cardiac arrest due to excessive fright.

After the incident, the police experts who specialize in lip reading began to intervene to interpret what the deceased said in the elevator, and found that the deceased just repeated a sentence: "There is a debtor, you don't come to me." ”

Over the next month, three others died in elevator No. 2.

When Manager Wang said this, he brushed the strands of hair on the top of his head with his hand and said, "Master Shen and I were originally fellow villagers and met at a fellow villager party. So after something weird happened this time, I contacted him as soon as possible, and he said that he didn't have time, and that someone would come to me and help me solve the problem. ”

He Xianquan nodded, and had a score about this matter in his heart, and asked, "If I guessed correctly, the three people who died in the back are exactly the same as the dead in front, right?" ”

Manager Wang didn't show surprise, just nodded. These cases are already known to women and children, and they have long been spread all over the streets and alleys, and it is not uncommon for He Xianquan to be able to say it.

But what Manager Wang didn't know was that He Xianquan didn't know the deaths of the other three deceased, and only speculated based on the development of events.

The time of death of B, C, and D is also unexpectedly consistent, they all died in the No. 2 elevator after the sun went down in the evening, the difference is that D is a woman, while A, B, and C are all men.

"Since the incident, few people have dared to use the No. 2 elevator, except for outsiders who do not know, no one in the building uses it.

Many outsiders don't know about the No. 2 elevator, and they haven't seen anything happen when they use it. It is said that there are fewer elevators in the building, generally speaking, there will be a lot of people taking the elevator, even if it is the second elevator that has had an accident, there are also many people who take it, but the blame is here, B, C, and D The three deceased were all in the case of using the No. 2 elevator alone. Manager Wang said.

He Xianquan said "um" and said: "Naturally, no one is willing to use such an elevator, except that there is really an emergency, or I can't help myself, or I don't know." I suspect there must have been a connection between the four deceased! He thought that it might be Zhou Xiao's ghost who was unwilling to leave, so he became a lonely ghost, using his own ability to tempt or force the four people into the elevator, and finally scared them to death, since there is a causal relationship, there must be a connection between these people.

"Later, I also secretly investigated, and found that the four deceased were really related to Zhou Xiao, who disappeared before, they were all employees of Zhou Xiao's former company, after Zhou Xiao's disappearance, they rented an office on the eighth floor and established a new company, and the business they operated was exactly the same as Zhou Xiao's company." Manager Wang wiped his sweat and said.

"Does the police know about this?" He Xianquan asked.

Manager Wang nodded and said, "I believe the police also know, and their investigation should be more detailed than mine." But it is not uncommon for those four people to set up a new company as well as Zhou Xiao's business scope, after all, the business they are engaged in is very profitable, although the company has closed down, but the business is still there, and the employees can't starve to death because the company is closed, so there is nothing wrong with them establishing the previous company. ”

"Yes. However, I suspect that the four of them are suspicious, otherwise, why did the four of them die one after another? He Xianquan said.

Manager Wang nodded and said: "At the beginning, the police also suspected Zhou Xiao's wife, but after investigation, she did not have the time to commit the crime, and when the four people died, she was dealing with some business left by Zhou Xiao in Australia. ”

"Did Zhou Xiao find it in the end?" He Xianquan is most concerned about this issue.

Manager Wang shook his head and said, "Zhou Xiao seems to have evaporated in the world, and he has never appeared again. This is indeed very suspicious. He has a beautiful wife and an unlimited career, and if such a person wants to escape from life, I am afraid that the first person to flee should be us property personnel. ”

"Can I go to elevator number two?" He Xianquan asked, he already had a plan in mind.

Manager Wang showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said, "It turned out that it was still possible, but now that a murder has just occurred, the police have sealed off the scene, and I am afraid that I will have to go to see it tomorrow." ”

He Xianquan suddenly thought of Wang Weiqian, so he smiled and said, "I'll try it and see if I can go in." With that, he left the manager's office and came to the lobby on the first floor.

Wang Weiqian and another policeman were at the entrance of the elevator, the elevator had been opened, and the body inside had been carried away, leaving only a white humanoid trace, Wang Weiqian was in the elevator, carefully inspecting the elevator.

"Officer Wang, I have something to say to you!" He Xianquan shouted from a distance in a still somewhat immature voice.

Wang Weiqian raised her head, looked out at He Xianquan, handed over the testing equipment in her hand to the male police officer beside her, and walked out, saying: "He Xianquan, I know that you have some skills in treating external injuries, but what is in front of you is a murder case, which is definitely beyond the reach of a charlatan like you, if what you say does not help this case, it is best to leave it for later, my house is next to your house, if you are interested, you can come to me at any time." ”

"Also, I saved your life just now, don't forget to thank me." Wang Weiqian showed a playful look on her face, which made the male police officer next to her look good.

He Xianquan smiled at Shen Wuji's appearance and said, "I must remember this, I can help you solve this unsolved case, and it can be regarded as a favor for you, but I want to enter the scene to take a look." With that, he pointed to the No. 2 elevator.

Wang Weiqian hesitated for a moment and said, "The scene investigation is still being carried out, you are not a police officer, I'm afraid I can't agree to your conditions." ”

"Then I won't enter the second elevator, just stay at the door for a while, and I won't destroy any evidence, just take a look!" He Xianquan took a step back.

Wang Weiqian sighed and said, "I hope you can help me, otherwise...... Hum ...... "After that, he clenched his little fists tightly and put on a puffing appearance of wanting to beat people."

He Xianquan smiled and followed her to the elevator door.

Wang Weiqian walked straight in and continued her investigation. He Xianquan took out a small bottle from his pocket and dropped two drops into his mouth, he felt that the resentment in his grimace was enough to activate it once, and only this method could make him see things that others could not see.

He began to want to learn the function of the Yin and Yang Eye even more, after activating the Ghost Domain, after all, the vision was very big, and it would also make the nearby people follow into the Ghost Domain, and the Yin and Yang Eye only made his own eyes see some things that could not be seen, and could not affect others.

The ghost hands on the lunar calendar watch began to vibrate violently, and after stabilizing, they pointed to the top of the elevator, and He Xianquan looked up and did not find anything abnormal.

"I should be able to control the ghost domain so that it only wraps in the top so that no one will find out." He Xianquan thought in his heart, and immediately activated the miniature ghost domain.

As soon as he activated the ghost domain, he felt a huge stinging pain hit his mind, and if he hadn't held on to the wall in advance, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground all of a sudden.

It's not the first time He Xianquan has dealt with the impact of grimace, so he is more experienced, and after surviving the initial sharp pain, the next is pediatrics.

The pain gradually disappeared, He Xianquan's eyes returned to their original clearness, and he was also very glad in his heart, the grimace skin had been fused into his skin, if he openly brought a bloody grimace here, I am afraid that he would be immediately arrested as terrorists by Officer Wang and others.

He felt that the pain was much greater than before, and almost the first blow made him almost unconscious, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that if he used it two or three more times, the pain would not be so great that he could bear it.

What made him strange was that after this severe pain, there seemed to be some more knowledge in his head, just like when the female ghost Li Xiaohui forced the learning method of Yin Wen into his head. The sheer amount of knowledge is staggering, almost all the common sense necessary for a good detective.

"What's going on? Could it be that the grimace wants me to solve the case? He Xianquan muttered in his heart.

He still remembers that when he solved Dai Huaying's case, Mr. Dai's ghost told all the events and used the backward deduction method to easily solve the case. This detective knowledge is almost worthless in He Xianquan's eyes, because ghosts can provide the truth of all cases, and there is no need to work so hard to solve them!

But this incident was beyond his expectations, in this supernatural incident, not only did the ghost fail to provide more clues, but even he relied on these detective knowledge to barely solve the case.

He Xianquan carefully controlled the ghost domain, covering his entire body, and the rest began to spread upwards along his head, until it covered the entire top of the elevator, and then spread upwards through the top of the elevator.

"Roar!" An angry roar came from the top of the elevator, He Xianquan looked at Wang Weiqian and the others, but did not find any movement in them, still squatting on the ground and checking their respective areas.

He breathed a sigh of relief, within the scope of the ghost domain, his gaze could see through everything, so he saw a person squatting on the top of the elevator, this person's face was a little unclear, his face and body were covered with wax chips, every movement, the wax pieces on his body would fall off, and amazingly, he was holding an unlit candle in his hand, some red and some white.

"Are you Zhou Xiao?" He Xianquan asked, he was not worried that Wang Weiqian and the others would hear it, because the ghost domain was completely isolated from the outside world, and the sound could not be transmitted.

"Huh! How do you see me? Or is it the first time someone has been able to talk to me, who are you? Is it a ghost hunter? Please don't get in the way here, I will naturally leave after taking revenge, and I will never cause harm to the world. Although Zhou Xiao's appearance was very scary, his tone was very polite, obviously he was also a humble and polite gentleman during his lifetime.

He Xianquan shook his head and said, "No matter what grievances you have, you shouldn't use this way to retaliate, you can tell me the ins and outs of the matter, and let me administer justice for you." In his eyes, violence is not the best way to solve the problem, and if he wants to resolve the ghost's grievances, he must start from the source, not simply and rudely suppress them, or use the ghost spell to forcibly resolve the ghost's grievances. Resentment has its roots in the ghost's body, and if it is resolved by force, I am afraid that it will violate the harmony of heaven.

"Humph! Have a finger in the pie! Zhou Xiao made a grimace and yelled at He Xianquan, it seemed that if he said one more word, he would be attacked by Zhou Xiao.

He Xianquan shook his head helplessly, reciting the ghost extermination spell in his mouth, and at the same time exposed the peachwood sword hidden in his sleeve.

As soon as Zhou Xiao saw the peachwood sword and heard the ghost killing spell, the fierce look on his face immediately turned into fear, and then turned into a pleading color.

"I'm a good listener, I can help you with your business, don't reject me, okay?" He Xianquan said softly, his tone full of sincerity.

For the "Okay? Or "Okay?" This kind of word is very common in the mouth of people with some rights, using the tone of a question, but in fact, it is telling the other party that it is good and good, and it is not good. He Xianquan is still a student now, so naturally he doesn't have those official tones, and the sincerity in his tone quiets down the restless Zhou Xiao.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally his expression finally settled down, and nodded at He Xianquan.

The experience in front of him reminded He Xianquan of the words of his master Shen Wouji: If you want to learn Yin and Yang Eyes, you must have the ability to protect yourself, otherwise you will definitely be killed by evil ghosts.

Seeing that Zhou Xiao is still qualified, even so, he also has a harmful heart, if there is no ghost killing spell and peach wood sword as a deterrent, I am afraid he will never compromise and talk to himself quietly.

Those who have yin and yang eyes since childhood, must have seen many phenomena that ordinary people can't see, such as ghosts and the like, and those ghosts can also feel his gaze, the ghosts left in the yang world are naturally full of resentment, at this time someone sees through his existence, and will naturally sprinkle all the resentment on the person who sees it, if the person with yin and yang eyes does not have the ability to protect himself, he will become a victim of the ghost's anger.

"You can't avenge my revenge, everything you see doesn't exist in the eyes of the world, and even if you believe it, those policemen won't believe it. There is another person, as long as I kill him, my revenge will be over, and I will leave immediately, and I will never stay in the sun for another minute. Zhou Xiao was a little frustrated.

He Xianquan smiled and said: "I have also helped people to take revenge before, and it is a legitimate channel, although your revenge will relieve your grievances, it will affect a lot of innocent people, and your wife has been kept in the dark, worrying about your disappearance all day long." Think about it, in the past, your neighbors and the other residents of this building would panic because of your revenge, and even move out of this building, they would have no permanent residence, and those property personnel would also lose their jobs because of it. ”

Zhou Xiao was silent, lowered his head as if he was thinking, and after a long while, he said: "Then you come to the third basement floor, it's not very convenient to talk here." ”

He Xianquan nodded, then shrunk the ghost domain to the minimum, left the door of the second elevator, took the elevator next to it, and came to the third underground floor.

There is a room on the third basement floor that is used to repair the elevator, that is, the room that was not opened when the police investigated the case before.

He Xianquan found that every time he experienced the sting of the grimace, his various abilities would increase a little, especially the ability to control things, which grew especially fast, not to mention a lock, even if it was a big iron door in front of him, he could easily twist it and bend it and get it down, and he felt more and more like Magneto.

After using the ability to control objects, he opened the rusty lock and walked into the room.

After turning on the lights, I found that it was not only a maintenance room, but also a utility room, and there was an iron door in the innermost, which should be a real elevator room.

After opening the iron door effortlessly, a cold, corrupt wind blew in, and he couldn't help but suffocate. In front of me is the elevator shaft, on the right-hand side there is a row of iron ladders for people to go up and down, and below is a black hole, where nothing can be seen, and a smell of mold that has been in the dark all year round keeps coming up from below.

He Xianquan is also becoming more and more familiar with the control of the ghost domain, and can instantly control the contraction or release of the ghost domain, but the contraction can only be controlled within the skin, and it is very difficult to compress a little more, and the scope of the external release is not very large, but for today's things, it should be enough.

He looked forward to the day when his abilities would increase, and he would be able to shrink the ghost domain into his eyes, so that his eyes could become yin and yang. Of course, this is also what he thought, and there is no basis, but unexpectedly, such an idea has achieved a pair of real yin and yang eyes, and it has also made his control of the ghost domain reach a point where no one has ever been seen before.

Unfolding the ghost domain again, he saw Zhou Xiao appear in front of his eyes again.

"If you look down, you'll see where I am." Zhou Xiao looked at He Xianquan with resentment and said.

He Xianquan stretched out his head and looked down, in the ghost domain, no matter how far away, it was within his line of sight, so he could see the bottom of the elevator shaft at a glance.

He saw a pile of red and white candles, and a few scattered candles scattered around in a messy manner.

Spooky candles!
