At six o'clock in the morning, I stood outside the ward with Chu Ying and Xiaojie, looking at Ah Ye's parents crying around the bedside in the room.

Aye is dead. When we found Ah Ye in the early hours of the morning, Ah Ye had already drowned in the waterhole below the rockery, wearing that terrible white mask on his face.

As for the matter of mobile phones, there are too many reasons to explain, for example, someone copied Ah Ye's mobile phone card, for example, someone recorded or made Ah Ye's voice in advance, under the current technology, these two things are not a problem, and it is estimated that any computer major can do it.

It's just that Ah Ye's death can only be characterized as suicide. Unlike the previous three suicide cases, Ah Ye has family and friends, and is a very cheerful girl.

I was faintly worried because Ah Ye's death coincided with my arrival. I wonder if Ah Ye's death has something to do with me, or that the murderer is actually coming at me.

But why don't you just come to me! I thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason, so I simply turned around and walked to Xiao Jie's side: "Xiao Jie, do you know where you bought the mask on Ah Ye's desk?" ”

"Masks? The black one, you say? Xiao Jie's face still had tears on her face.

I nodded, "yes, it's the black mask." ”

"I guess I bought it last Friday." Xiao Jie said while reminiscing: "When we went shopping on the street after work on Friday, and when we went to the small night market by the moat at night, Ah Ye said that he wanted to marry a public toilet, but he didn't have any change in his hand, so he ran to a stall and bought the mask. ”

I answered, and silently wrote it down in my heart, planning to take a look at it tonight.

Chu Ying and Xiao Jie both took leave, Xiao Jie stayed in the hospital to accompany Ah Ye's parents, and I followed Chu Ying back to help Ah Ye pack up her belongings.

"Do you think Ah Ye committed suicide?" Chu Ying asked with sadness on her face: "I have known her for more than ten years, and she has been very good from the beginning, the three of us were originally discussing being bridesmaids to each other, but I didn't expect Ah Ye to ......."

"Hmm......" I reached out and patted Chu Ying's shoulder: "Mourn, people can't be resurrected after death." Ah Ye's death, I think there are three possibilities, the first is suicide, but from what we have seen, this possibility can basically be ruled out. Second, he killed, someone copied her mobile phone card and made a game, but according to what you said, Ah Ye is a very good person and has no enemies, this may also be ruled out. ”

Chu Ying was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at me: "Are you kidding?" Neither suicide nor homicide, how did he die? ”

"Evil." I said it seriously.

If I had put it before, I really didn't believe in such a thing as evil. The second uncle told me that when I was a child, I was particularly prone to evil, every time I passed by the entrance of the hospital, I would continue to have a high fever, and it was useless to send it to the hospital for infusion. To put it bluntly, it is evil, as the old saying goes, "the soul is frightened", and you have to find someone to appease the soul.

Of course, this kind of work will be done by the second uncle. But I was too young at the time to have no memory of evil, so I didn't believe it. It wasn't until a few days ago that I saw the evil of pockmarks at the wine tank beach of the Cliff of Forgetfulness, that I fully believed this thing, even though it was the evil fragrance of ecstasy in the wine.

"Evil?" Chu Ying has been with me since she was a child, and she has also seen some of her second uncle's strange arts, but it is still a little difficult for her to believe that her best friend around her has fallen into evil.

"Hmm." I laughed: "I have a bold guess, that is, when we called Ah Ye, Ah Ye was actually alive, that is, the person who talked to us was indeed Ah Ye, but she was outside at the time, because of the evil spirit, she thought she was still at home, and when we said that we were going to look for her, she stopped talking, maybe at that time, Ah Ye drowned." ”

"Then according to what you said, Ah Ye should have been holding a mobile phone at the time, but we didn't find it at the scene, which means that it was taken away by the murderer." Chu Ying analyzed.

I nodded: "Yes, but this is just speculation, there is a street lamp near the rockery, and it is not turned on after midnight, so it is basically a blind spot for monitoring, and you can't find clues if you look for video." ”

Chu Ying nodded and stopped talking.

Soon, we were back in our rented house. On the way, I asked Chu Ying to stop for breakfast, but she said she had no appetite, so I went downstairs alone and bought some steamed buns and soy milk or something to bring back.

"It's eight o'clock, let's have breakfast first." I looked at Chu Ying, who was sitting in a daze in the Ye house, and said.

Chu Ying didn't squeak, I hurriedly went over to take a look, and saw her holding a few photos of the three of them in a daze.

"Okay girl, if you're tired and sick, Ah Ye will be sad." I slowly reached out and took the photo, and stroked Chu Ying's hair: "Let's go eat." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ying wiped the corners of her eyes and went out to eat.

I stood in Ah Ye's room and looked at it, and copied the black mask on the desk into my pocket.

On this day, Chu Ying was so busy that I called a few former friends to stay together for a day, and after dinner at eight o'clock in the evening, I came to the moat alone.

Zhonghu Park can't go, so most of the people in the county gather here in the moat park. There is a night market on the bank of the river, selling clothes, toys, and all kinds of small goods, which is very lively.

I took a turn and didn't find any masks for sale, thinking that it was only Tuesday today, and Xiaojie said that I bought it last weekend, and it should still be there.

"Boss, where is the mask seller in the neighborhood?" I walked up to a stall selling clothes and asked.

The boss's eldest sister was stunned: "Mask? Toys for kids? ”

I pulled out the black mask: "yes! That's it, I bought it last Friday, and when I got home, I saw that there was a crack, and I wanted to come over and change it, but I didn't see that person! ”

"Oh, this!" The eldest sister turned her head to look at the bridge in the middle of the river: "I remember to cross the bridge, over there, you go over and have a look." ”

I was stunned: a commercial street is still being built on the other side of the bridge, and there are no street lights on the riverbank at night, so it's pitch black, how can you set up a stall there?!

"Really?" I sneered: "There's not even a light over there, boss!" ”

"Ahem, you young man, just go over and see! What am I lying to you for! ”

"Okay, thank you!" I laughed and walked over the other side.

This section of the moat was not very long, but after five minutes I crossed the bridge, and saw that there were mostly residents walking their dogs on the bank here, and taking advantage of the lack of street lights, the dogs' urine and urine were scattered in the green belt.

As soon as I stepped off the bridge, I saw a small stall in a corner, and the stall owner lowered his head, because it was dim and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. There is such a stall around here, it should be that he is good.
