So I joined Hu Zongren, facing the direction of the two ghosts, then moved backwards to the edge of the guardrail, and then slowly moved towards the exit. The two ghosts were gradually obscured by the guardrails as we moved, so when we couldn't see them, we were actually only a few meters away from the exit. When I got to the exit, I was surprised to find that the candle that had been lit on the ground had fallen and been extinguished. We know the original length of the candle, so judging by the length, it should be not long after we entered the inner hall, and it is likely that the candle went out and fell down when I was scratched by a ghost.

Hu Zongren picked up the candle and pushed the door open without looking closely. After the two of us walked out of the door, Hu Zongren quickly closed the door, it didn't really mean to lock it or not, and then Hu Zongren re-lit the candle just now and glued it to the outside of the rope nail I had knotted earlier.

I asked Hu Zongren, do you have any thoughts now, Hu Zongren said, have you noticed the water on those two ghosts? I said of course noticing so obviously, these two guys were probably drowned. Appearing in this movie theater, it is likely that he came here to see a movie on the day of his death, and according to our current situation, that movie is likely to be "Cape Seven".

Hu Zongren said, but isn't this movie a few years ago? I said yes, so these two ghosts must have been dead for at least two years, because the movie is from 2008. Hu Zongren said, but there is a child, which parent do you say would take such a young child to watch a movie, and also watch a love movie. I nodded and said to Hu Zongren, this is also the last thing I have been able to figure out. Hu Zongren didn't speak, so I continued to talk about my analysis, and I told Hu Zongren, you also know that people who die in the water often can't get rid of the water because of the imprisoning effect of the water itself, so this kind of ghosts that accompany the death environment, such as the dripping water on their bodies, are relatively difficult to communicate, and the obsession is often very deep.

I saw that Hu Zongren didn't seem to understand, so he explained that if he went swimming and drowned, then about half of the time he might have encountered a water ghost to find a stand-in, and the remaining half was really unlucky. And since they can appear in the form of ghosts, it means that they are not killed by water ghosts, plus these two people are wearing clothes, but they are not wearing shoes, and the child's clothes are even a little close to the clothes of this season, just ask how many people can swim in the water in this kind of weather? Not to mention swimming in clothes. I guess I didn't wear shoes because I lost my shoes when I was dying in the water, and if I'm not mistaken, the child should have drowned first, and then the woman went to save the child, and both of them drowned.

Hu Zongren nodded first, and then began to shake his head and said to me, that doesn't seem right, that is, if you died for the reason you said, there is no reason to come back to watch the movie after so long. I thought about it, but I really don't know what it is, and according to my current speculation, I can only think of it to this extent.

Hu Zongren said, or else, because now we can be sure that only this ghost and that movie must be connected, so let's go to that Mr. Li and ask him to check the time when this movie was in all the screenings before their cinema began to add midnight screenings. I immediately understood what Hu Zongren meant, he wanted to say that because this is a movie that has long been out of the file, usually the movie theater will not play the kind of movie that is out of file in order to make money and will choose the new film that is being released, and what Mr. Li said just now, they opened a midnight show is a recent thing, although it can't always be these movies, but it is precisely because of the time of this film that the movie theater is haunted. If we can look up the schedule of the cinema during the official release of "Cape 7" itself earlier, we can learn something about what happened during that time.

So I called Mr. Li, and he was too timid to stay alone in the office, so we had to go outside to find him, and then go back to the office with him. In his office, he quickly searched for the original schedule and told us that the film had only been shown again after the recent opening of the midnight show, and that the film had not been shown at any other time.

So this is almost certain of the time of death of these two ghosts, before that, the movie theater was shown on February 14, 2009, and it was released 20 days later, which means that the time of death of these two ghosts was within 20 days from February 14, 2009 to the beginning of March. So I said to Mr. Li, you let me do it, I'll borrow your computer. Mr. Li stood up, and I began to use his computer to try to combine a few keywords, such as "2009, drowning, Chongqing" or "2009, February, drowning", but I couldn't find it for a long time. The matter of human life, no matter how small, is a big thing, and this kind of such a small child has drowned, this kind of will definitely be recorded by the media, but I don't know what to do and I can't find out, at this time Hu Zongren said to me, where is the closest water source to drown people in this place? I suddenly woke up, so I changed the keyword slightly, clearly wrote the name of the place and then searched, and really popped up a few people's livelihood news.

I checked the time and found that it was very consistent with this case, and the deceased who was salvaged happened to be one big and one small, but out of respect for the deceased in the press release, and netizens may not be able to accept the photos of the deceased, so the body was actually marked with a mosaic, but I noticed that the child's body, although the clothes on the stomach were slightly lifted, and the skin was also a little dark because it had been soaked in cold water for too long. But I could clearly distinguish that the deceased child in the photograph was dressed exactly the same as the child who had grabbed my hand in the screening room. I said to Hu Zongren, I found it, it must be these two people. So we started to read the news, and sure enough, it was far from my guess, it was not that the child accidentally fell into the water, but that it was a suicide at all. And what makes me feel particularly unacceptable is that this bizarre suicide turned out to be a mother who jumped into the water with her child in her arms.

At the bottom of the press release, there was a man who was crying, the man looked very thin, his hair was neatly combed, he looked about 40 years old, and it could be seen from the messy stubble that he hadn't shaved for several days, although he looked very haggard, but he was dressed very well, and it was not difficult to see that he was a person who had achieved a little success in his career. And the content of the press release reads that the couple quarreled, and after watching the movie on Valentine's Day, the woman went home and threw herself into the river with her child. The age of the female deceased is less than 30 years old, since they are a couple, it means that the two are not married, but they have a child, is this child a child born to the woman from marriage before? It is not said in the press release.

I have mentioned many times earlier that suicide itself is a great sin, and if suicide is not a very strong obsession, it will basically not go that far, so many people talk angrily, saying that they have killed a hundred or so on, it is impossible, and those who commit suicide will definitely be more responsible than other ways of dying. Hu Zongren and I don't like to come into contact with suicide ghosts very much, because it is generally very difficult to send them away if we don't get rid of their obsession at the root. But that child didn't commit suicide, and even said that he was killed by his own mother, although a child at this age may not have any obsessions, but why did he never leave?

I quickly figured out what to do, and I asked Hu Zongren, do you remember just now in the screening room, the child grabbed his mother's hand? Hu Zongren nodded and said, remember, what's wrong? I said do you think it is possible that the dead mother misses her child too much, so she keeps the child by her side, this seemingly caring approach is an invisible constraint for the child, so that he can't find the way he should go, resulting in the can't stay what he wants to stay, and he can't leave what he wants to go. So when I thought about this, I decided to give the child away anyway, and as for its mother, the female ghost, after all, she died by suicide, and the situation is more difficult to say.

I combed through the clues I got and discussed them with Hu Zongren, and we felt that the sad man with his eyes mosaiced in the photo may be the only person in the world who knows the whole truth of the Dao. We need to find him, and the only way to resolve this obsession is to let him come in person, because I really don't want to be rough with these two poor ghosts. However, since it was news more than a year ago, even if the police station left contact information for this man when investigating the cause of death, after all, it has been so long, and it is indeed a problem to find it. So I thought about it, and I planned to call the media directly on this news, and bet on my luck, if the reporter at the checkout office was still working for this media outlet, then maybe he would be able to recall the situation when he wrote this news release.

So I started to look up the media's 24-hour news hotline on the Internet, and most regular newspapers will have numbers dedicated to providing news clues to the public. After a call, with a burst of ringtone-like music, an operator picked up the phone.

"Hello, we are a news hotline of XX Daily, how can I help you."

"Hello, I want to contact your reporter Ran Moumou immediately, I have a scoop and only tell him one person."
