Chapter 106: The sound of the third floor
"The lights can easily scare away the lonely souls of my wife and daughter......"
A year ago, Sun Xiang's wife and daughter had disappeared, and both the villagers and Sun Xiang himself said that his wife and daughter had been taken away by those things in the mass grave. When Sun Xiang suddenly said this, there was a noise from upstairs, as if something had knocked over something on the table.
The two detectives were startled and unconsciously moved closer to each other.
The oil lamp on the table was almost burned out, the dim light flickered throughout the room, and our shadows swayed slightly on the wall, as if they would jump out of the wall at any moment, giving people the feeling that the shadow was not ours. Xu Yi stared at his shadow, and grabbed my hand a little tighter.
I frowned and stared at the entrance to the dark hallway, the room was very quiet at night, and the sound was so loud that we all heard it.
"Is there anyone else in your family?" I asked.
Sun Xiang shook his head: "It's not a human ......"
Sun Xiang's words came out, and the two criminal policemen were shocked, everyone knew what Sun Xiang meant, he said that he was not a human, so it was naturally a ghost in his mouth. I picked up a small wooden stick in the corner of the wall, picked up the flashlight and was about to go upstairs, but the two detectives worriedly told me not to go.
I glanced at Sun Xiang expressionlessly: "Pretending to be a ghost." But Sun Xiang didn't care at all what I said, he let out a long sigh, and glanced at Xu Yi and me meaningfully, and then he sat down on the table again, his mouth was full of words, and his body was still trembling.
I asked the two criminal policemen to take a good look at Sun Xiang and walked up the stairs, Xu Yi held the corner of my clothes, and I was more relieved to take her with me. The beam of the flashlight illuminated the entire hallway, and we soon reached the second floor, where I shook the flashlight around, and finally took Xu Yi into the room where we slept.
The sound disappeared immediately, and at this moment, the entire brick house returned to its original quiet, and I could hear Xu Yi's voice becoming more and more urgent. There was nothing in the room, I patted Xu Yi's hand and signaled her not to be afraid, Xu Yi shook her head, saying that she was either scared, or had a very strange feeling in her heart.
While we were talking, there was another "thump", the sound of something falling on the floor, coming from upstairs. Xu Yi and I held our breath and listened, and the voice disappeared again without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
But I know very well that it is not that we misheard.
I led Xu Yi out of the room slowly, Sun Xiang is a very strange person, which has to make us more vigilant, I clenched the wooden stick in my hand, if anything dangerous happens, this is my weapon. I didn't go upstairs right away, if there was really someone on the third floor, he would have to come down the stairs, and I wasn't afraid that he would run away.
Xu Yi and I went to another room on the second floor, where two detectives slept. There was a strange smell in the house, it was the smell of sweat, and I was carrying a flashlight, and I found a few very dirty police uniforms on the ground. The two detectives stayed here for two days, and they didn't seem to take a shower, it was too hot, and the smell was very strong.
There was nothing abnormal, and I withdrew with Xu Yi again. Two detectives called me on the first floor and asked if we were okay, their voices trembled, and they were not lightly frightened, and after I replied that I was fine, I slowly paced up to the third floor. The sound of my shoes on the concrete floor echoed rhythmically, and we walked up the stairs one step at a time.
The walls were covered with red brushes with patterns we didn't recognize, and in the light, these red patterns looked like they were dyed with blood. Finally, we stepped on the last step of the stairs, the door was open, I told Xu Yi to be careful, and I shone the flashlight into the room, which seemed to be Sun Xiang's room.
Sun Xiang's room is very clean, there is no smell at all, there is only one bed in the whole room, not even a cabinet. I walked in with Xu Yi, the room was not large, but it was empty because there was nothing. Xu Yi and I stood in the doorway and looked around, and when we were about to turn around and go out, the flashlight shone on a pale face......
Xu Yi screamed in fright, I pulled Xu Yi behind me and subconsciously raised the wooden stick in my hand.
Just as I was about to fight, I saw clearly that the owner of that face was Sun Xiang, he walked without making a sound, and I don't know when he had come up from the first floor and stood at the door of his room. Sun Xiang stared at the two of us with a blank stare, his body shaking, and the light of the flashlight shining directly into his eyes, but he didn't even blink his eyes.
I realized that something was wrong, and took Xu Yi to take a step back, Sun Xiang didn't speak from beginning to end, but his body trembled more and more. I've seen him look like this, and when we first came, he behaved like this, and as expected, his eyes slowly turned red, and the whites of his eyes became more and more bloodshot.
Time has not passed long, but my heart is beating so hard that I feel that Sun Xiang is in danger.
Finally, Sun Xiang moved, his red eyes looked at Xu Yi, and in the next second, he stepped back like a ghost, and by the time we reacted, he was already sitting on the ground. The sudden scene made me slightly stunned for a while, and I turned my head to look at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi's slightly trembling lips were white, this was frightened, but there was nothing abnormal other than that. I walked out with Xu Yi, Sun Xiang gasped for breath on the ground, and after walking out of the room, I found that two criminal policemen had also followed, but they were standing on the steps and did not dare to come up.
Seeing me and Xu Yi coming out, the two of them swallowed their saliva together, and then they had the courage to come up.
I walked up to Sun Xiang, and the snakebite wound on his arm was even more shocking in the white light. I took him by the arm and helped him up, and asked him what was wrong, but he didn't answer, just glanced at Xu Yi cautiously. The two detectives also seemed to realize something, and took two steps back, away from Xu Yi.
I frowned, displeased: "Mr. Sun, what's wrong with you." ”
Sun Xiang shook his head in a daze, and after a while, he returned to normal, and the bloodshot in his eyes slowly subsided.
"There's a room, I hope you don't go in." Sun Xiang said to us, and I followed his gaze and shone the flashlight, and the opposite door of Sun Xiang's room was closed, and the door was covered with yellow charms.
"When you two sent Sun Xiang up that day, you didn't find that door?" I asked the two detectives, this door is so strange, I don't believe they didn't find it.
The two detectives shook their heads, they said that Sun Xiang only asked them to send them to the steps, and they did not come up.
I didn't ask any more questions, and pulled Xu Yi around Sun Xiang to the door, where there was a thick iron chain with a rusty lock on it.
"Mr. Sun, I'm investigating the case, I hope you can open the door and let me go in and have a look." I begged, I am not an investigator, I can't force Sun Xiang to open the lock, and if he doesn't want to let me in, I can't do anything. I looked at the two detectives, who shook their heads and stepped back, clearly not wanting to care.
I thought Sun Xiang would refuse immediately, but he just sighed and asked me if I really wanted to go in, and I didn't hesitate and nodded. Sun Xiang asked me to be mentally prepared, saying that this room was for his wife and daughter, and he told me that his wife and daughter had been lost in their minds and turned into ghosts, and he was reluctant to let them go, so he could only lock them inside.
The two detectives turned pale with fright, and advised me not to go in.
I'm already impatient, Sun Xiang always talks in a tricky way, wasting a lot of my time, and now even the investigators have become like this, I seem to see from them the cringe of Zhao Da's criminal police.
"Mr. Sun, please cooperate!" My voice became stern.
Sun Xiang no longer refused, nodded and slowly walked towards the door covered with yellow talismans, he fumbled in his pocket for a long time and finally took out a bunch of keys. I flashed a flashlight for him, and Sun Xiang's house only had a few rooms, but he had a whole string of keys.
Xu Yi's hands became cold, and I quietly told her not to be afraid, Xu Yi took a deep breath and asked me to leave her alone.
Sun Xiang's speed of unlocking is very slow, and I don't urge him anymore. Several other rooms have been checked, but only this one remains, and the strange sound must have come from this room......
