Chapter 113: The world evaporates
"Hey, what are you doing in there?" Liu Hao roared angrily, making me tremble and almost fall off the chair.
"Listening so carefully, did you find anything in the microphone? I called you three times and didn't move, I thought you were dead inside! ”
"No. Nothing found! "That's when I realized that there was nothing in the microphone but blind tones. It's just that the hallucination just now was so real that it was happening right in front of my eyes, causing me to be soaked in cold sweat all over my body.
"If you don't find it, you can quickly come out and take a look, there is something wrong with the surveillance screen."
"Good!" I let out a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, and walked outside.
Obviously, Liu Hao has already debugged the monitor, and the time points when all the screens show pictures are before and after we met Chang Qingshan at night. Liu Hao pointed to a monitor at the entrance of the thirteen-story building and asked me if I saw the figure.
Because of the light, although the shooting was a little blurry, he could barely recognize Chang Qingshan's appearance. To be honest, the image of that guy is easy to recognize, not to mention that he is still holding a cardboard box in his hand, which is the kind of corrugated cardboard box we saw in the editorial office of "White Night".
In the picture, Chang Qingshan slowly walked towards the entrance of the building.
It's just that his movements are very strange, as if he is being pulled by a hanging line, and every step he takes, there is a pause of a few seconds in between, giving people an extremely incongruous feeling.
"It's like a marionette!" Lin Feng muttered such a sentence behind me, and it was this sentence that made my memory come back again.
I remember that in the Black Gold Case, I was taken to the back mountain unconsciously and almost died on it.
At that time, I was on the surveillance screen, just like Chang Qingshan in front of me, like a marionette.
"I said comrade policeman, this person in the picture should not be ghosted, how can ordinary people walk like this?" The old man on the side was also a little lonely, and directly expressed his opinion.
"Impossible, how can there be a ghost in this world!" Besides, before Chang Qingshan walked into the corridor, all his behaviors were no different from normal people, and he even teased me and Liu Hao fiercely, so I definitely don't believe in such a thing as ghosts.
A moment later, Chang Qingshan disappeared from this surveillance screen. It looks like I'm going to get out of the thirteenth floor and get ready to take the elevator.
Liu Hao skillfully switched the screen, and called up the twelve-layer monitoring screen from the center of the big screen, and after a while, Chang Qingshan really appeared in the screen again.
There are almost no lights around, and the darkness is scary. Chang Qingshan straightened his waist so straight, straightened his body, and walked out of the corridor step by step holding the cardboard box.
The strange picture in front of me reminds me of the image of zombies in Hong Kong horror movies.
"Attention, here's where I said something was wrong." Liu Hao stared at the screen and said such a sentence coldly, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the security room became weird like a surveillance screen.
In the picture, Chang Qingshan slowly walked towards the screen.
When he was completely standing directly below the monitor, he raised his hand and pressed it forward. It is speculated from the location that Chang Qingshan should have pressed the button for the elevator to go up.
At this moment, Chang Qingshan suddenly turned his head and looked at the monitor.
Chang Qingshan in the picture did not have the slightest blood, and his face was stiff and scary. The guy forced a smile into the surveillance screen, as if an invisible hand was behind him, pinching his face and making a smile.
Why did he look at the monitor at this time, and then show that weird smile. Could it be that guy had expected me and Liu Hao to check the monitor at this time?
Before we could figure it out, the image in front of us suddenly started to show noise, at first just one or two, and then it became more and more noisy, distorting almost the entire screen, so that we couldn't see what was behind the screen at all.
Noise will appear in the monitoring screen, either because there is a problem inside the main system, or it is interfered with by strong electromagnetic waves.
Later, we learned that all the monitors in the office building share the same circuit system. But at that time, only the surveillance screen on the twelfth floor was distorted, which seemed a little abnormal.
Could it be that something terrible happened on the twelfth floor at that time that directly affected the normal operation of the monitor?
"Watch below!" Liu Hao still has that calm voice, bringing our attention back to the screen.
About three or four minutes later, the surveillance screen returned to normal work, but Chang Qingshan in front of him had disappeared, and the only explanation was that the guy walked into the elevator room during the time period when the monitor had a problem.
Liu Hao also understood, and immediately cut to the surveillance screen in the elevator room, and at this moment, something strange happened.
Through the monitoring screen of the elevator room, we learned that the elevator was indeed descending towards the first floor at this time, and the floor buttons on the first floor were also lit up.
However, the huge elevator room was empty, and there was no trace of Chang Qingshan, or even any living person.
"Where's that guy?" I shouted it almost directly.
Liu Hao comprehended, paused the screen instantly, and switched all the remaining more than 20 surveillance videos on the big screen, but we didn't see Chang Qingshan's shadow again from any of the screens.
As if by magic, the guy vanished out of thin air in front of the elevator on the twelfth floor, along with the cardboard box he was holding, and disappeared without a trace.
A moment later, everyone present was speechless. Liu Hao originally planned to formulate a pursuit plan according to the direction in which Chang Qingshan disappeared, but now it seems that this idea can only be abandoned.
He let out a long sigh, then took out three cigarettes and handed them to me and Lin Feng respectively.
Although Lin Feng still wanted to pretend to be calm, the frightened look on his face had already betrayed his heart. I believe that except for the spontaneous combustion case of the human body, this guy should have never encountered such a strange thing again.
"The man who disappeared in the picture is the object you are going to hunt down this time?" After a while, Lin Feng slowly spit out such a sentence, listening to the tone, it seemed that there was no hostility like before.
"Nonsense, if it wasn't about him, why would we spend so much time here studying surveillance footage?"
"This man who disappeared, what did he do? Why is it in this office building? It seemed that out of the instinct of the police, Lin Feng suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.
Liu Hao glanced at Lin Feng, and finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. Due to the previous relationship, it is estimated that Liu Hao does not want to stand in a hostile position with Lin Feng all the time.
"That man is related to two murders, one happened in Huayuan City, and the other is in our Z City. I don't know the specific details of the murder case in Huayuan City, but as for the one in Z City, I happened to be in charge. ”
After Liu Hao finished speaking, he looked at me helplessly: "Unfortunately, the two murders are directly related to this Gao Fei. He is both a victim and a witness to the case, which is why he is so eager to catch the murderer and prove his innocence. ”
"And Officer Liu, what about you? Why are you in such a hurry to catch Chang Qingshan, and why do you believe in me so much? "When I think about it, it does make a little bit of sense.
Liu Hao and I only had a one-sided relationship on the platform, but from beginning to end, he unconditionally believed in my judgment, and even almost turned his former mentor Lin Bayi against him.
Even if I really want to solve the case, if I am any police officer, I am afraid that I will be defined as a suspect first, and then continue to solve the case.
Liu Hao didn't answer me directly, but took a deep puff of cigarette, and then a trace of imperceptible sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"First of all, Chang Qingshan is a murderer who is very likely to have committed two homicides, and as a people's policeman, I naturally want to arrest him! As for you... ”
Liu Hao said, and suddenly shook his head helplessly: "Originally, I didn't plan to help you in the hall. But the way you look when you confront Lin Bayi reminds me of someone in the past, if he was still alive, maybe he would also hope that I could help you solve the case. ”
"Who is that person you are talking about?"
"Forget it, don't mention it." Liu Hao wiped the corners of his eyes, turned his head, and complained that the cigarette in his hand was of poor quality.
