Chapter 16: The Case of the Murder of the Paper Man Eating the Corpse
"Shopkeeper Shen, I didn't expect your reaction ability to be so fast, and you could easily recognize him as pretending." Tang Ka laughed twice, knowing that there were no ghosts, and after knowing that someone was making trouble, even the laughter became much easier.
I said, "He's going to act, okay, we'll play with him." ”
Jiang Xun raised the corners of his lips and looked at me with interest.
"Didn't he say there were ghosts here who wanted to kill people?" I pinched my phalanges, "Then let's find a ghost and kill him." ”
When Wang Min woke up, a group of us were all sitting around him, with heavy faces.
He pretended to be nothing, as if the person who wrote on the wall last night was not him, opened his eyes and looked past us one by one, and asked tiredly, "What are you all huddled here for?" ”
Tang Jiao was the first to put on a cooperative expression, staring at him and shrinking his eyes, and asked, "Don't you remember what happened last night?" ”
Wang Min didn't understand, "Last night? ”
At the beginning of the play, there was a deliberate dodge in his eyes.
I gloomily grabbed Tang Jiao back from him, kept him away from Wang Min, looked at him with hostility and said, "Are you hiding something from us?" What's going on in this place? ”
Wang Min's expression was surprised, "You...... You guys...... What are you talking about? ”
I squinted my eyes and looked at Ziwei.
Zi unexpectedly dragged him off the bed by the collar, grabbed him rudely, and before he could stand up, he dragged the man out of the room, pushed him against the wall, and said coldly: "See for yourself! ”
Wang Min's body froze for a moment, the confusion and confusion in his eyes were real, and when he turned around and saw the crooked slogans on the wall, the whole person was like a thunderbolt, and he froze for three seconds without moving.
Three seconds later, he suddenly roared, "This can't be! ”
Jiang Xun sneered, pressed his head against the wall like last night, and asked, "What, does it feel familiar?" Your own handwriting, you don't recognize it after a sleep? ”
Wang Min trembled violently, "No—I didn't write it!" You did it on purpose—you were the ones who wanted to hurt me! ”
"Officer Guo, Officer Guo, do you know what kind of person I am, we have known each other for so many years, do you believe that a group of outsiders came to frame me?" Wang Min threw his words for help to Guo Zheng, and fear slowly grew.
Guo Zheng looked at him and did not speak.
Wang Min was in a hurry, his eyes rolled to the corners of his eyes, and his scalp rubbed blood on the wall.
"Lao Wang." Guo Zheng couldn't bear to look at it, frowned and walked to his side, and after letting Jiang Xun let go of him, he patted him on the shoulder, "You also know how many years we have known each other, I have always regarded you as a friend, and I have contributed a lot to this hydropower station, what can't you tell me?" We've all seen it with our own eyes, what else do you want to say? ”
"And the bugs and snakes on our bed, didn't you put them!" Tang Jiao roared: "You are so old, you are not ashamed to pretend to be a ghost!" ”
Wang Min was about to have nothing to say when he saw it, and the kettle placed on the bedside table exploded without warning, and it exploded with a thud, and the plastic shell of the outer skin was broken, and the gallbladder inside became a pile of fragments.
A stone bullet hit the opposite wall, and the sound drew everyone's attention, and for a moment the room was silent, and everyone was silent.
Wang Min's emotions became more and more real, he was suspicious and uneasy, constantly looking at each of us, as if he wanted to see through some trick, but every time he turned in one direction, the sound of stones falling on the other side would pop up, which lasted several times, enough to make people's scalps tingle.
The fear of several of us also made our bodies stiff, and Wang Min was in the silence, bearing our gaze, and his expression became more and more anxious.
Tang Jiao spoke up at the right time and said, "Here, it won't be really haunted, right?" ”
"As I said a long time ago, this is not the place for you to stay." Wang Min shuddered and slowly got up from the ground, "You shouldn't have come. ”
No one spoke, the eerie atmosphere lasted until the night rose, this time no one dared to go back to the room to sleep, everyone huddled together, holding water cups in their hands to keep warm, the temperature in the cave dropped, and there were faint signs of fog.
"I want to go to the bathroom." Tang Jiao hunched his waist and stood up, looked left and right, and called Jiang Xun, "Xun'er, you come with me and accompany me." ”
Jiang Xun glanced at him, Tang Jiao was anxious, and saw that Ziwei and Guo Zheng had no one to deal with, so they could only run to the toilet hut with their stomachs covered.
"It's foggy." Ziwei rubbed his hands, the temperature dropped suddenly, everyone was not lightly frozen, only Jiang Xun still looked light and breezy, not cold at all, but more energetic, and his face seemed to be much better than just now.
If you want to talk about weirdness, the weirdest person here is him.
The fog condensed on the roof of the cave, the sound of ticking water fell, and the calm water surface smashed one ripple after another for a while, spreading out, spreading the entire river channel, like a piece of broken glass, with the scene of the cave inverted slowly flowing.
I watched Wang Min's reaction, and I thought that he would scare us with some terrible ghost stories at this time, but it was surprisingly not so low-end.
He looked at the ripple marks in the water, stunned, and fell into some kind of contemplation, and calmed down without saying a word, and his eyes seemed to be expectant.
"Why hasn't Tang Jia come back yet?" After Jiang Xun finished speaking, Guo Zheng stood up, "I'll take a look." ”
As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Wang Min, warning obviously.
Guo Zheng had just left less than two minutes before he heard him shout, and when a group of people hurried over, the door of the toilet was open, and the walls of the room were covered with bloody handprints. Tang Jiao fell to the ground, a knife was inserted into his abdomen, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his entire body was covered with blood.
"What's going on?" Guo Zheng's face changed greatly, "There are other people here!" ”
The unexpected situation made Wang Min tremble, and I wanted to get closer, but Guo Zheng raised his hand to stop me, "Don't destroy the scene." ”
Jiang Xun frowned at the scene inside the door, and said slowly, "He is my friend." ”
Guo Zheng shook his head and didn't let him in, driving us all out of the door and staying behind to check the corpses.
A few of us sat in a circle, making eye contact with each other, nervously waiting for the outcome of the matter.
After Guo Zheng finished inspecting it, he covered his head with a cloth on the corpse, and when he came out, he called us all to another room, closed the door tightly, and said to us with a solemn expression: "The knife on the stomach is not a fatal wound, there are pinch marks on the neck, and the cause of his death is suffocation." ”
"But there are only a few of us alive here," I said, "At that time, no one except Tang Jiao moved, and we could testify to each other, and we all had no time to commit the crime, let alone motive, how could this be?" ”
Jiang Xun frowned, his eyes were cold, and he just grabbed Wang Min's neck and asked him, "Why did you say yesterday that someone wanted to kill us?" Did you put those snakes and insects on the bed? What do you know? ”
Wang Min painfully stroked a handful of messy hair with his hands, propped his hands on the top of his head, and said, "You better go, stay any longer, it will not end well for anyone." ”
"Then my friend died in vain?" Jiang Xun's voice became colder and colder, "Do you want to kill all of us before you give up?" ”
"No—no—" Wang Min's arm shook slightly, shuddering in fear, and shaking his head in denial.
Jiang Xun clenched his fists, and I said, "What we should be thinking about now is what to do next, something has happened, and it's useless for you to kill him." ”
Guo Zheng said: "Help bring the corpse back first, although the temperature in the cave is low now, but the fog has cleared and warmed up, and it will be very troublesome if the corpse starts." ”
He looked at Wang Min, "I will temporarily detain you in the name of the suspect, if you have any excuses for yourself, you should leave it to the bureau."
Wang Min stood up all of a sudden, and pleaded: "I can't leave here, please, I really didn't kill anyone, you all saw it, I never left your sight for half a step, how could I attack him!" Officer Guo, you can't just wronged a person like this, I can't leave here! ”
The more he spoke, the more crying became in his tone, his nose was gagged, and the corners of his eyes became moist.
Ziwei asked: "You let us go, but you said you couldn't leave?" ”
Wang Min was dumbfounded, and Guo Zheng said: "Don't worry about these for now, come and help, let's get the corpse out." ”
Ziwei and Jiang Xun answered, I stayed to watch Wang Min, and after a while, Ziwei suddenly ran back and shouted to me eagerly: "Master, come quickly, the body is gone!" ”
Before I could move, Wang Min staggered to the door before me, squeezed a slit out of the gap between Guo Zheng and Jiang Xun who were blocked there, and knelt on the ground with a weak leg when he saw the situation inside.
Originally, there was only a pool of blood and a few rags left in the place where Tang Jiao was lying, and there were some sticky blood clots on them.
The original irregular shape of the blood has now become the appearance of a stroke of a certain word, because there is not enough to finish writing, painted into a blurred trace, and in the middle, there is an extra paper figure folded on white paper.
The room was silent, the fog behind him was getting thicker, the humming of the machine did not stop for a moment, the wind rose again, and the sound of blowing through the mouth of the cave echoed in the cave.
Guo Zheng was about to step forward to pick up the paper man, the sound of the stone falling outside the door rose again, we turned around, and saw that it was from our direction, bounced twice along the road, fell into the river, and then like an hourglass fell, countless large and small stones began to pop out and fall from all directions, through the thick fog, the stone moved strangely and irregularly, and it seemed to rain in the haze, and the source was a big stone on the shore.
"Ziwei, go take a look." After I finished speaking, Ziwei nodded and walked slowly defensively, nervous all the way, and when I arrived at the place, I looked at the back of the stone, my expression choked, my mouth pursed, and I bent down to catch a fish from behind the stone.
The fish was already dead, Zi Wei shook his head, signaled that there was nothing else, and walked over and threw the fish on the ground.
At this time, Guo Zheng's brows tightened more and more, watching the fish's gaze slowly shift to the paper man, looking left and right at Jiang Xun and Guo Zheng, seeing that they were all standing still, he asked, "Just now, how did you see this paper man?" Facing where? ”
"Face inward, back to the door." Jiang Xun said.
Guo Zheng's face changed suddenly, because the paper man was not only facing the door at this time, facing our direction, but also his head was slightly raised, and his eyes drawn with black pens were looking at us, the smile on his face was very arcious, with a few wisps of residual blood, and his appearance was gloomy, and the paper skin on his face was bulging and bulging, imitating the chewing of his mouth.
"This thing is alive...... It ate the corpse! Guo Zheng's voice was shaking, pulling us back and yelling: "Quick! All backwards! Get out of here now! ”
