Chapter 30: The Delusion of Murder
In the video, I, with dull eyes, stood like a log in front of the gate of the crematorium for more than ten minutes.
My attention was completely drawn to the seemingly unremarkable video, the taxi was indeed the one I was in when I arrived, and the time to get off was the same as when I arrived at the crematorium.
But Xiaobai obviously got out of the car with me, why didn't I see Xiaobai in the video?
And after the two of us got out of the car, we should have entered the gate together, and then went to the morgue, where Xiaobai mysteriously disappeared.
Time passed minute by minute, and the "I" in the video was still standing in place, with pedestrians walking by from time to time.
When I finally saw the "I" in the video rushing to the security room and then being arrested in front of the crematorium hall, I was covered in a cold sweat and shivered unconsciously.
"This video ......" I was a little speechless for a while, and I didn't know how to describe my feelings.
When I noticed the policeman, I found that he had just hung up the phone and shook his head helplessly.
Until then, I was so engrossed in the computer screen that I didn't even notice who he was talking to, and I didn't hear what he was saying on the phone.
To be honest, I don't want to believe the authenticity of the video. But subconsciously, I couldn't help but doubt my previous experience.
"This video is fake, right? The technique of counterfeiting is really good. I laughed dryly.
If I admit that the video is real, how can I explain my experience? I can't deny my experience just because of this video.
He smiled and shook his head: "Things are far trickier than I imagined, you yourself should be Mr. Yin and Yang, right?" I don't know how I got into the trick. ”
I was stunned: "Tricks? ”
I understood what he meant, and the trick is called a vision. The illusion created by the Yin Soul by influencing people's consciousness is indeed an extremely realistic method of blinding.
But I can't believe it, how can I be confused by illusions in broad daylight?
And he's right, no matter how I say it, I'm also a Mr. Yin and Yang, how can I be so easy to get hit?
"I apologize to you for what happened just now. I've checked with Lao Tian and I've indeed caught the wrong person. Don't mind, buddy, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Yang, Lao Tian's direct subordinate. He grinned and held out his hand to me.
I frowned and didn't shake hands with him, the Lao Tian in his mouth should be Tian Xin's father Tian Jianjun, this kid must be not good.
"What, do you really believe that Lao Tian wants to use you as a scapegoat and hand you over to the Tao family?" Zhang Yang didn't feel embarrassed at all, and naturally withdrew his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a cigarette and handed me one: "I know Lao Tian's temper best, he is the kind of person who can't rub sand in his eyes, Tian Xin is in charge of that case, and he will definitely investigate it clearly." ”
I don't hide the suspicion in my eyes, trying to subvert my perception with a sentence or two? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old?
Zhang Yang straightened his face and pursed his lips: "Your name is Chen Fan, right?" Big man, why are you so twisting? Afraid I'll poison you in your cigarettes? Can you do it? ”
When he raised his face, Zhang Yang's already somewhat dark face looked particularly majestic. I hesitated for a moment and then took the cigarette, it wasn't that he was so clever in his agitation, I just figured it out.
Now that I am in his hands, there is basically no chance to escape, and Xiaobai's whereabouts are unknown, I don't dare to act rashly at all.
In this case, he was not wrong at all, he couldn't use any tricks against me. Isn't it just a cigarette, and if you smoke it, you can ascend to heaven?
After lighting the cigarette, he grinned, showing his white teeth: "Dude, I really don't have to lie to you, Lao Tian won't hurt you." On the contrary, he has clear grievances and grievances, and he will be grateful to you for saving Tian Xin's girl. ”
I was silent, my brain spinning rapidly, seriously analyzing my current situation, and at the same time thinking about what Zhang Yang said.
"In my judgment, you didn't lie to me before. In other words, you must have fallen for the trick, and the video will not be faked. My brothers and I crouched here, and we did notice that you were standing at the gate for a long time. ”
"By the way, the old janitor you were talking about. I've already shown you his picture just now, he died last night, and his body is in the morgue, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it. ”
"As for your friend, I really can't tell where he went, anyway, he definitely didn't get off with you. Our brothers are staying here, mainly to investigate the disappearance of the corpse, and also to protect Sun Mulan's corpse. ”
Zhang Yang was very serious when he raised his face, but he didn't expect it to be a chatter, and before he finished a cigarette, he was already babbling a lot in my ear.
From his words, I could tell that "myself" had an experience that was completely different from what I remembered.
According to him, Tian Jianjun had rushed over from other cities, mainly to investigate Tian Xin's affairs. It's just that the incident was more complicated than I thought, involving the crematorium stealing of the body.
In the months prior to this, crematoriums had lost a body every once in a while. Because most of the bodies were unclaimed or deposited here by outsiders, they didn't cause much of a stir.
Someone wanted to steal Sun Mulan's body last night, but in the end it was discovered and failed.
When Zhang Yang and others rushed over overnight, he found that the door of the morgue was wide open, and the freezer where Sun Mulan's body was parked had been moved.
The old man who watched the gate was also found dead in the morgue. Zhang Yang was still puzzled, because they came after receiving the old man's call to the police, but the old man's death time was far earlier than the time of the call.
Since midnight, Zhang Yang and his party have been guarding the crematorium, and while inspecting the scene, they can be regarded as squatting and waiting, waiting for the person who stole the body to appear again.
"Sun Mulan's body is very important, those people will definitely come again." Zhang Yang's tone was firm.
What happened next in Zhang Yang's mouth was the same as in the video. He told me with certainty that I was standing at the door of the crematorium when I got out of the car.
Nearly twenty minutes later, I rushed incoherently down the hall again, and that's when they appeared and arrested me.
"Yesterday, Lao Tian wanted to see you, but you fled. Believe me, Lao Tian will definitely not harm you, you can only cooperate with us now to find out this matter thoroughly. ”
"The reason why Sun Mulan's resentful spirit appeared, there must be someone secretly helping. Only when the culprit is found will this matter be completely settled. ”
Zhang Yang patted me on the shoulder very familiarly, and persuaded me in a sincere tone.
His words sounded flawless, but I was still a little skeptical, and it was really hard for me to trust a guy I had just met.
Zhang Yang was not discouraged, and sighed: "Forget it, when you figure it out yourself, it's better than me saying 10,000 words." ”
After pondering for a long time, I slowly spoke: "Your words, I have already analyzed, your theories are all based on one condition. That's what happened in the video, and it's all true. Am I right? ”
Zhang Yang nodded, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when I waved my hand and interrupted him.
"I said that in my memory, I arrived at the morgue. I saw my friend get taken away by a guy who looked exactly like me. ”
Although I didn't say it too thoroughly, it was already clear what I meant, and I still didn't want to believe the video, maybe it was just my pretender.
Zhang Yang was stunned at first, and then sneered: "Your head is an elm pimple?" Well, the old janitor's body is parked in the morgue, and I'll take you there!" ”
After saying that, he directly untied all the ropes on my body and pulled me out of the car and walked in the direction of the crematorium.
After getting out of the car, I was a little uneasy. Now that I've regained the ability to move freely, and he's the only one by my side, can't I escape?
I admit that his skills are definitely good, and he should not be worse than Xiaobai, but if he is alone, I am still very confident that he will escape in his hands.
But after a moment of hesitation, I gave up the idea of escaping. There are some things that can't be solved by escaping, I have to face them.
After I escape, what will Xiaobai do? Even if I can get out of here, what can I do to solve the dilemma in front of me? Do you really want to leave the city like a lost dog?
What's more, Zhang Yang led the way and walked ahead, never paying too much attention to me, and didn't seem to worry that I would run away at all.
There are two possibilities in this case, one is that he has absolute confidence that he knows that I can't escape. The second is that what he said is true, and it doesn't make sense for me to run away.
Following him into the morgue again, I felt like I was in a different world, and the atmosphere in the morgue was completely different from what I remembered.
In the morgue, not only are the crematorium staff busy, but also those colleagues are on the lookout for people stealing the body.
Zhang Yang told me that Sun Mulan's body is very important, and those who stole the body will definitely appear again. As for why he was so sure of this, he didn't want to go into detail with me.
"The corpse is here, see for yourself!" Zhang Yang opened one of the freezers, and inside was a corpse that had been completely stiffened.
Seeing that familiar face, my mind went blank, this old-timer is really dead? This corpse is absolutely not fake, and even when I see the corpse, I will unconsciously associate it with the scene of his life.
"How so?" I frowned and muttered softly.
Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders: "I really don't know how to make you believe my words, why don't you think about it carefully, and tell you that Lao Tian will harm you, is it possible to lie to you?" ”
His words made me freeze in place, yes, why did I never question this question?
I learned the news that Tian Jianjun would harm me from Director Li. At that time, I was convinced and never doubted Director Li.
Now that I think about it, it seems like I made a low-level mistake. From a psychological point of view, almost everyone has some degree of "delusion of victimization".
When I heard Director Li say that Tian Jianjun would harm me, I naturally believed it, because I also had a slight "delusion of victimization" in my subconscious.
Later, when Tian Xin came to me, she tried to explain a few words to me, but I was already immersed in the "delusion of being killed" and couldn't listen to her explanation at all.
