Chapter 013: The Fish That Can't Be Raised
Xiao Yue lifted her head, stood by the pool and smiled happily and said, "Brother Chen Yang, I scooped up the things that blocked the water pipe, you go on, I'll throw it to you"
As soon as I heard this, I was so frightened that I waved my hands and ran back, but Xiaoyue didn't care about me at all, and threw the head in my hand at me, this head was impartial, and it happened to fall into my arms, and my hands subconsciously wanted to block, but instead hugged my head.
Xiao Yue, who only had her head left, smiled at me weirdly in my arms, so frightened that I spread my hands and threw my head out directly.
Strange to say, as soon as the head came off my hand, I didn't know what I tripped over, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the back of my head hit something, and I fainted all of a sudden.
When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a couch in the hotel lobby with a thick layer of gauze wrapped around my head.
There were two policemen sitting next to me, and when they saw that I was awake, one policeman came to inquire about my physical condition, and the other hurriedly took out the phone to report to the leader.
After that, I was taken to the police station, and I was interrogated by an old police officer in his forties, who had a compelling sense of righteousness.
He said that a headless female corpse was found in the pool on the top floor of the hotel, and that the deceased was a fellow villager with me, and that from the waiter's confession, I was a major suspect.
I hurriedly said, I just went to repair the water pipe yesterday, and I have no grievances with Xiaoyue, why should I hurt her?
"Then why did you run to help people repair water pipes for no reason, and fished out the human head from the pool, and the waiter said that you entered the hotel door yesterday and kept talking to yourself, you honestly told me, do you know something?"
The old officer's words made me speechless, I can't say that I was called by Xiao Yue, right?
After a while, I told him, if I am the murderer, why do I stupidly run to get the body out, isn't this going to die?
When the old police officer heard this, I stopped talking, and was silent for a while, and said, I will stay here for a day today, and wait for the autopsy report to come out.
The next morning, it was Master Li who somehow managed to get me out.
When Master Li saw me coming out, he didn't speak, but took me to a fast-food restaurant near the police station, then took out a notebook, and after tinkering with it for a while, handed it to me and said, "Take a look." ”
There are two short videos in the notebook, which should be intercepted from the surveillance, one video is in the hotel lobby, the time display is more than twelve o'clock the night before yesterday, in the picture, Xiaoyue is standing alone on the edge of a large fish tank placed in the center of the hall, staring at the fish tank with her eyes, and saying something from time to time in her mouth, this picture lasted for more than ten minutes.
Another video is at about two o'clock the night before, in the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, Xiao Yue is standing facing a wall, and a pair of ink paintings are hanging on the wall, and she also seems to be saying something.
The weird scene happened in the seventh minute of the video, Xiao Yue suddenly became emotional, as if she was arguing with someone and as if she was frightened by something, yelling in horror.
After more than ten seconds, Xiao Yue's mood gradually calmed down, stayed in place for a moment, and then walked towards the ink painting on the wall step by step, a strange scene appeared, the landscape painting was like a hanging door, Xiao Yue actually stepped in step by step, and then disappeared into the aisle out of thin air......
I was shocked by this video, and I screamed out, and then asked Master Li in horror, what the hell is going on?
"What are you doing in a hurry? I'm not a god, how do I know what's going on? ”
I said, could it be that someone did something to that painting, such as a mechanism or something?
Several conjectures were put forward one after another, but they were all denied by Master Li.
After a brief meal, Master Li and I went to the hotel where the accident occurred, wanting to know more about the situation.
Because of the accident, the hotel basically has no guests, and there is only an old security guard and a middle-aged man in the lobby.
The middle-aged man should have been temporarily found to lead the class, and he didn't know much about the situation, but the old security guard stayed for a long time and took the initiative to talk to us about some digressions.
After a cigarette, I got up and went to the edge of the large fish tank on the left side of the hall, and stood where Xiao Yue was before and looked inside, but I didn't find anything.
I walked around several times, but I still didn't gain anything, so I was helpless to go up to the corridor on the second floor to have a look.
Before leaving, I took another look at the fish tank, and found that there were only some aquatic plants and other things in this super large fish tank, but there were no fish and shrimp or anything like that.
Hurriedly asked the old security guard, why do you put such a big fish tank, but don't keep fish?
The old security guard sighed and said, "It's not that you don't raise it, it's that you can't raise it at all, this fish tank has been put here since the hotel opened, and the boss is afraid that he has bought tens of thousands of fish in it, but every time the fish is put in, it's fine, and the next day it's all dead." ”
"Every time?" I'm a little curious.
"It's not, not only fish, but also shrimp and turtles, but without exception, they don't live for a day, and they die in a strange state."
"Oh? What's a strange way? When Master Li heard this, he asked with great interest.
"When all the fish die, their body size is significantly smaller, just like the space in this fish tank, time is reversed, and the fish are growing in reverse......"
Master Li and I were stunned by the old security guard's words, a small fish tank can go back in time?
Seeing our reaction, the old security guard became more interested in telling the story, and he lowered his voice and said, "The employees privately say that the temple god has appeared to take revenge on the boss." ”
I hurriedly asked what it meant.
The old security guard said that four or five years ago, the location of this hotel is a dilapidated small temple, no one knows who is enshrined in the temple, there were a lot of things when the hotel was built, one died, several were injured, and then the boss invited the master to come and bury some things under the ground, and then it was successfully built.
After that, they chatted for a while, but it was all this kind of gossip, which had no substantive effect on Xiaoyue's case.
The old security guard led us to the landscape painting on the second floor, no matter how you looked at it, it was just a very ordinary ink painting, and we didn't find any clues.
After a round in the hotel, I still couldn't find any clues, so I simply left, preparing to come back in the evening, maybe I could find something.
On the way back, I kept thinking, what are the main points of this matter, what is the connection between the fish tank, the pool, the ink painting and the small temple?
The fish tank and the pool are easy to understand, there is water between the two, but what is the relationship between the ink painting, the small temple and the water? Thinking about it, I really couldn't figure out what was going on.
Ask Master Li, and he can't tell why.
Back at the shroud shop, Master Li took some yellow paper and cinnabar in my shop, saying that he wanted to draw a few talismans, which might be used when he went to the hotel at night.
I leaned against the door of the shop with nothing to do, holding the spar that sealed Bai Ling in a daze, until the evening, Master Li and I went to the hotel again.
Probably because of psychological factors, the whole hotel seems eerie and uncomfortable.
We searched up and down, but we couldn't find any useful clues.
After working until one o'clock, Master Li sat on the sofa in the hall with some annoyance and smoked a cigarette, and things seemed to have reached an impasse.
I didn't give up, I came to the fish tank again, with both hands on the edge of the fish tank, looking at the scene inside, the lights in the hotel were a little dim, but there was still a reflection on the water.
I took a general glance and felt that something was not quite right, usually in a darkly lit place, the reflection formed on the water surface should be a little blurry, but my current reflection is extremely clear.
It's as if there is a world in the fish tank that is exactly the same as the real world, and what I see is not a mirror image, but a real scene.
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of something, and immediately ran up to the second floor.
I came to the place where Xiao Yue mysteriously disappeared, looked at the ink painting in front of me, and suddenly felt as if I had found the relationship between several factors.
The ink painting is framed by a glass frame, and my mirror image is clearly reflected on the outer glass, which is also real and somewhat abnormal.
After about a few tens of seconds, the voice-activated light suddenly went out, and the light in the corridor dimmed suddenly, but the mirror image on the glass was still very clear......
