I turned my head to look at Mr. Leng, who was extremely embarrassed on the side, his expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to say to Hu Zongren. Obviously, Hu Zongren had a dispute with this woman just now until Hu Zongren tied her with a cable tie, he saw the whole process in his eyes, I can understand his feelings, on the one hand, he found the master to help, and on the other hand, he bumped into the old lady's daughter, he is an intermediary relationship, in fact, we and the old lady's daughter can not know each other at all, let alone know each other on such an occasion.

So I asked Mr. Leng and Zhao Jing to stay here together, and then I took Hu Zongren to the outside of the ward. Hu Zongren asked me what you found in the garage just now, so I told Hu Zongren as carefully as possible about the clues I found in the garage just now, Hu Zongren thought for a while and asked me, what do you think now? I shook my head and said that there were really not many ideas, but I noticed one thing that I thought could not be ignored, so Hu Zongren asked me to explain it to him.

I told Hu Zongren that first of all, we can now confirm that the old lady on the hospital bed is alive, both from the doctor's point of view and from our own observations. Hu Zongren nodded and said, you are right, when Mr. Leng first said those situations, I once suspected that this old lady was in a state of bardo body, and it was not ruled out that her soul occupied her body, but the possibility that her body was dead. After speaking, Hu Zongren touched me with his elbow and said, isn't this the case of the living dead we met in that hospital a while ago? It's just that the deceased died a little more completely. Hu Zongren then said to me, when you and Zhao Jing went to the garage just now, I tried to check on the old lady, and it was because of this relationship that I had an argument with that woman.

Hu Zongren said that at that time, he put his palm on the old lady's forehead and lied that he would check if the old man had a fever, but the woman stopped doing it, and scolded me not to touch his mother. Hu Zongren said angrily, Damn, this dead woman spoke in that tone, as if I was so hungry that I wanted to attack her mother. I couldn't help but think it was funny, so I asked him, then you really don't have any evil thoughts. Hu Zongren glared at me and said, Of course! I, Hu Zongren, am a good person! I told him that you can do anything, but you're not a good person.

Hu Zongren ignored me and continued, just like that, he quarreled with the woman, and then he couldn't control it, and locked her up in a fit of rage. She spat on me when she locked her up, so can I sue her for assaulting the police? I said, do you really think of yourself as a policeman? Besides, your card is a military officer's card, you idiot. Hu Zongren continued, in short, when I checked whether the old lady was dead, I found that she was alive and well, and it could not be what we expected before.

I nodded, and took Hu Zongren's words, my thoughts are the same, and I found a very special situation when I checked the car just now, that is, the ghost of the last one had appeared for a short time, and I also took a closer look at its appearance, indeed as Mr. Leng said at the beginning, the clothes, hairstyle, and body shape are actually similar to the old lady on the bed, but after a closer look, it does not look like the same person. It looked paler, less friendly, and looked alike, but I never felt the same person. Hu Zongren asked me that he had asked the old lady earlier, she really didn't have any other sisters, what was going on? I shook my head and said, this is what I can't figure out the most, we have encountered so many ghosts in the past, thousands of strange things, but there has never been a situation where there are no sisters and no split personality, but another ghost has appeared that reflects the real world.

After saying this, Hu Zongren and I fell silent with each other. After a while, Hu Zongren asked me, do you want to smoke a cigarette? I nodded and followed him to the first fire exit. After lighting a cigarette, Hu Zongren suddenly said to me, do you say that there is such a possibility, that is, this old lady is not young after all, and it is estimated that Yangshou will not have many years left, and when people reach their twilight years, they will often be closer to the world of ghosts. So it's very likely that people of their age have some regrets that they can't let go of when they are still alive, and this regret will evolve into a relatively special and independent ghost?

I said it's possible, but you can't make sense of this, if it is separated separately, then what is this in her body now, besides, do you think it is as easy as tearing paper to separate the spirit and flesh, if this is the case, then what is the way for the ghost in the car to leave the body? Hu Zongren thought for a while, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said, mirror.

I immediately understood what Hu Zongren meant. As an indispensable thing in our daily life, the mirror is rarely noticed that in addition to reflecting the appearance of people, it actually reflects everything in our real world, but what we see from the mirror has become upside down. It is precisely because of this opposite characteristic of the mirror that it is able to refract something that we cannot perceive, but which is actually seen by the mirror.

Someone once made an assumption that in the mirror world, there is a world that is synchronized with us, but does not interfere with each other. The people in that world are doing exactly the same thing as us, but the actions are just the opposite, and in many horror movies, the mirror is also a very good material. For example, I watched a movie about Ruby Lin and Nicholas Tse, and I forgot what their names were, which is probably about Ruby Lin shaking her neck in the mirror, but the neck of the person in the mirror suddenly broke, and then she died herself a few days later. When I was a child, I heard a foreign fairy tale, which said that a woman often asked in the mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in this world? That means that no matter where people are, whether they are ancient or modern, they will only say the truest words to the self in the mirror when no one is looking in the mirror. It is precisely because of this that the mirror may have become the most ugly thing in this world.

I asked Hu Zongren, do you mean that this old lady herself is docile and kind, but the one who came out of the mirror was just the opposite, becoming angry and aggressive? Hu Zongren said yes, if this is the case, at least it is a mirror that this old lady often uses, and if she can see her whole body, it must be a big mirror. I nodded, a little hard to believe, but it wasn't impossible. When we look in the mirror, the self in the mirror is illusory to us, but for the self in the mirror, we are actually illusory, and sometimes even ghosts will deliberately imitate the person in the mirror to achieve the effect of deception. For example, in two parallel mirrors, an infinite loop of the world will be formed, if someone makes some movements here, according to the speed of light, all the shadows should be synchronized, at least the human eye can't distinguish the delay, but if it is distinguished, then there must be a ghost in a mirror that is not their own.

So I threw away the cigarette butt and said to Hu Zongren, if this is the case, then the matter is simpler, let's go directly to the old lady to see if she has a big mirror that I often look at at home. Most of the furniture of their age is a bit like my grandparents, and they like to have a big mirror on the wardrobe. Hu Zongren also threw away the cigarette butt and said, This is the only way we can think of now, although I can't guarantee you that it will be accurate, but let's imagine one more possibility, it's always right.

So Hu Zongren and I went back to the ward, and the arrogant woman before was already depressed at the moment, but the old lady comforted her on the side, saying that she should stop in moderation and not bully honest people. The woman, on the other hand, held her forehead with both hands and shook her head frequently. I groaned in my heart, this stupid woman seemed to feel as if she had been wronged, it was really hateful. Hu Zongren walked up to Zhao Jing and asked, did anything happen after we left just now? Zhao Jing shrugged her shoulders and said that there was nothing wrong, but her ears were about to be calloused. Then she smiled wickedly and glanced at the old lady on the bed.

I ignored her, and just asked Hu Zongren to ask the old lady. So Hu Zongren walked to the side of the bed and squatted down, and then said to the old lady gently, Auntie, we are a little reckless today, I apologize to you, we didn't target your daughter, even if we really need you to cooperate with the investigation. The old lady nodded but didn't speak, Hu Zongren continued to ask, then I'll ask you some questions now, and if it helps our case after asking, I'll let your daughter go. The old lady nodded again and again, this time the frequency was obviously much faster. Hu Zongren asked her, where do you live at home? The old lady said that there was a certain road in such and such a district, and Hu Zongren said, then is your house an old house or a new house? The old lady said that it was a new house, and she had been in the countryside when she was young, and then she came to the city to help take care of her grandson when she had a grandson, and the house in the countryside was always deserted. Hu Zongren asked, then are all the furniture in your house newly bought, or are they brought from your hometown? The old lady said that they had brought it all over, and that some things had been passed down in their family for generations, and it was a pity to lose them.

I watched a bit of a show, Hu Zongren also smiled at me proudly, and then asked the old lady, Auntie, do you have a big mirror in your house, or anything that can be used as a mirror? For example, a dressing mirror, such as the one you set in your old wardrobe?

The old lady thought about it and said, mirror? We have a small round mirror in our house, and I use it less as I get older, so I don't have a big mirror.

The old lady spoke slowly, but with great certainty. So, Hu Zongren and I were dumbfounded again.
