Chapter 036: The Cabin of Terror
There were no more clues in the morgue, and Ren Yonghai and I could only use the most stupid method to go to the duty room to retrieve the surveillance that night.
The morgue's surveillance system is not connected to the rest of the hospital, and there are four cameras in total, three inside the morgue and one facing the door.
The fifteen-inch monitor is divided into four small windows, each of which outputs the corresponding picture.
In order to prevent details from being missed, we had to work at a "turtle speed" of four times, starting at 11:23 p.m., when the last person left the morgue, until the janitor opened the door to the morgue at 8 a.m. the next morning.
Time passed slowly in the boring process of viewing, and after about an hour had passed, when the footage on the surveillance was fast-forward to 3:17 a.m., the four surveillance screens suddenly went black together.
Ren Yonghai and I glanced at each other, and our hearts sank, and there was really a situation.
"Master, what's going on with the computer, it's dead?" I quickly called the janitor and asked him by pointing to the black-screen monitor.
"Hey, don't worry, it's not a computer problem. You see, the time is still moving, you wait, just over 2 minutes, it will pass immediately. The janitor glanced at the screen and said nonchalantly.
"Not a computer problem? What's going on? I pressed on.
The janitor looked up at me and muttered, "You cops are really good, and you'll have to answer the question again when you come in." At about three o'clock in the morning that night, there was a small problem with the backup generator set, but the electrician on duty quickly got it right, and it took more than 2 minutes before and after. ”
"The electricity went out for more than 2 minutes that night?"
"Yes, you police know about this situation, and you police have said that even if the electricity is cut off for more than 2 minutes, it doesn't mean anything, and in such a short time, no one can steal a corpse." The janitor replied.
He also pointed to the backyard outside the window and said, "Look, the generator set is there, and it hasn't had time to move back to the warehouse." When it broke down that night, I stayed in the duty room with the electrician there to repair it. ”
The duty room is next door to the morgue, behind the window is a small courtyard, and a generator set is placed under the bicycle shed.
As a matter of common sense, the police were not wrong in their judgment. The morgue and the duty room are in the same corridor, and when the power went out that night, the duty room was manned, and there were people in the backyard repairing the generator set.
In just over two minutes, no one could have stolen the body from under their noses, either from the locked main entrance of the morgue or from the window that opened into the backyard.
However, there is one situation that the police may not have thought of, what if it is not a person who steals the body?
The corpse could not have disappeared into thin air, and it was stolen at 3:17 a.m.
"Master, who is the electrician on duty with you that night, please let him come here, I have some questions for him."
The bloody handprint was entered through the window, and the morgue window, like the duty room, also opened to the backyard, where the electrician was supposed to be repairing at the time, and he may have had some omission details that were not mentioned in the post.
"You're looking for Xiao Wang, that's really unfortunate, he has been off for the past two days and hasn't come to work." The janitor replied.
The apprentice electrician was from the city, named Wang Bo, a young man in his early twenties, who lived in an old neighborhood on the outskirts of the city.
By the time we arrived at his neighborhood, it was already dark.
The lights of thousands of homes are lit up, the community is a crowd of people walking in twos and threes, the car slowly drives in, the sound of TV, children's fighting, chatting, the sound of kitchen pots and pans, all kinds of sounds are intertwined in the ears, revealing the breath of life everywhere, a harmonious and peaceful scene.
"This is it." Ren Yonghai turned off the fire, stopped, and brought a gun.
Get ready to go upstairs.
"Give him a call first and see if he's home?"
"Okay."
This inconspicuous residential building in front of you has nothing special no matter how you look at it. It's just that I looked at the residential building in front of me, and my brows furrowed slightly, "This place looks a little weird." ”
"No one answered."
"Fight again."
The unit on the left side of the third floor, which is Wang Bo's home, has no lights.
"Still no one answers?" I turned my head and asked Ren Yonghai beside me.
He put down his phone, shook his head, and said, "No." ”
When we came out of the hospital, we started to call Wang Bo's phone, and made at least seven or eight calls along the way, but no one answered. And now, seeing that Wang Bo's house is not even lit up, I have a bad premonition.
"The information from the hospital shows that Wang Bo is living with his parents, and it is dinner time, why is it dark in their house, is it that the family of three is not at home?" Ren Yonghai looked up at Wang Bo's house on the third floor and said.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not." I frowned and said, "Since we're here, let's go up and have a look." ”
There was no second word, the two of us got out of the car and walked directly into the corridor.
Before I reached the third floor, my face became more and more solemn, and faintly, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood, floating down from the third floor.
When he arrived at the door of Wang Bo's house, Ren Yonghai knocked on the door vigorously and shouted at the door: "Is anyone at home?" Wang Bo is not here, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and I want you to know more about the situation. ”
The voice landed, there was silence behind the door, no one responded, and when Ren Yonghai was about to raise his hand and knock again, I stretched out my hand to signal and stopped him.
There is no point in knocking on the door, there may be people inside, but I'm afraid I can't come and open the door anymore.
A smell of blood came from the crack in the door.
In old-fashioned residential buildings, there are usually a lot of clutter piled up in the hallways, and I searched around for a while, pulling out a piece of wire from a corner.
I inserted the wire into the keyhole and fiddled with it a few times, and with a soft click, I opened the door lock.
"Squeak", before I stepped forward and pushed it open, the door actually opened slowly towards the inside, revealing a dark entrance.
"Be careful." Without waiting for me to remind Ren Yonghai, as a veteran policeman, he had already sensed that something was wrong.
This is certainly not a normal situation, everyone knows the situation of the old-fashioned residential community, the buildings are very close to each other, even if Wang Bo's house does not turn on the lights, there will be lights from other buildings around it, and it is absolutely impossible to have no light at all.
At this moment, in our ears, we can clearly hear the noise of the community.
However, just through a door, the dark room in front of me is completely a strange space isolated from the world, and in the darkness that cannot be dissolved, there seems to be something unknown and terrifying hidden, which makes people feel cold.
Looking at such a scene, Ren Yonghai and I looked at each other, and saw a trace of creepy fear in each other's eyes.
"Do you want to go in?" Ren Yonghai couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
To be honest, I was a little worried in my heart.
But the dark room in front of me is full of unknown fear, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts.
"Enter!" After all, Ren Yonghai got rid of me because he trusted me, and I couldn't retreat from the battle.
After speaking, the two glanced at each other, one after the other, and walked into the darkness.
With a bang, the door slammed shut behind us, and silence returned to the hallway, as if nothing had happened.
Although we were mentally prepared, the sudden closing of the door still made our hearts tremble.
"Look for the switch, it's not a problem to be so blind." My voice
The tone first broke the silence in the room.
I have to say that the police's patience is better than that of ordinary people, at least Ren Yonghai did not take the risk of finding a switch, because it was unprofessional to do so. If anything, this could be a serious problem.
It was dark all around, and I couldn't see my fingers, so I fumbled around the wall for a while before I found the switch and pressed it.
To my surprise, the lights turned on.
Fluorescent lamps illuminate the room, revealing a panoramic view of the room.
This is a three-bedroom house, about 80 square meters, Ren Yonghai and I stand at the door, on the left hand side is the kitchen, bathroom, in front of the living room, a corner of the living room is the dining table.
On one side of the living room, there is a large LCD TV, and on the other side of the wall, there is a two-seater sofa and a single sofa on each side.
The doors of the three rooms were closed, but Ren Yonghai and I didn't have the heart to pay attention to these now, because on the two-seater sofa in front of us, a pair of old people were sitting.
These two old men are about fifty years old, and they should be Wang Bo's parents.
The two of them sat upright on the couch, their knees together, their backs ninety degrees straight, their hands flat on their knees, their eyes closed, and they did not react at all to the stranger's intrusion.
I had imagined several possibilities in advance, but I had no idea that such a picture was waiting for us in the room.
There is a hint of permeating weirdness in the silence.
"Lin Kun, these two, are they alive or ......" Ren Yonghai's voice even trembled a little.
I looked at it carefully, shook my head, and said, "I'm not sure, I'm definitely not alive, but I'm also a little sure if they're dead." ”
"Could it be, a ghost?"
"It's not." I denied Ren Yonghai's idea, "The yin qi on them is not heavy. ”
Hearing me say this, Ren Yonghai was also a little relieved, he looked around and said, "Then what should we do next?" Wang Bo doesn't seem to be here. ”
"No, I think Wang Bo is here, but he is not in the living room, but in one of those rooms."
"Then let's look for them one by one?" Ren Yonghai asked.
"That's all I can do now......" I stopped in the middle of my sentence as the room suddenly became cold.
"Be careful, something isn't right." I looked around, wary of the nooks and crannies of the room, and said in a deep voice.
At this time, Ren Yonghai's face changed, he pointed to the living room, and said with some horror: "Lin Kun, look at those two on the sofa." ”
I looked back and saw that the two old men on the sofa were still sitting precariously, but there were a few blackened blood stains, slowly wading out of the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose of the two people, and their appearance was very terrifying.
Immediately afterwards, the two old men, who were bleeding from the seven orifices, suddenly opened their eyes, revealing a pair of eyes with no pupils and full of whites.
Ren Yonghai was taken aback by this strange situation, and lowered his voice and asked me, "Lin Kun, could it be a corpse?"
"Don't be nervous!" I replied in a low voice.
At this time, it seemed that I heard the voices of me and Ren Yonghai, and the two people on the sofa moved again, only to see that these two people's bodies did not move, but their necks slowly turned in the direction of me and Ren Yonghai.
Soon, their necks turned weirdly 90 degrees, and their white-eyed eyes stared straight at me and Ren Yonghai.
"What the hell is going on?" I couldn't help but feel a tingling in my scalp.
The two old men sitting on the sofa in front of me, although I obviously couldn't feel the heavy yin qi on their bodies, but a chill couldn't help but rise from the tail vertebrae and rush straight to the back of the head.
