How can it be?

How could something appear out of thin air hit me and disappear right under my nose?

I stared in the direction it had disappeared, but it was as if it had never appeared, and there was no sign of it.

If it weren't for the sharp pain in my arm that kept alerting me, I even began to wonder if there was something wrong with my eyes.

Huang Na also reacted from the shock at this time and took out a flashlight to check my wounds.

As soon as I rolled up my sleeves, the pain worsened.

I couldn't help but gasp, and Huang Na quickly relaxed the movements of her hand.

The light of the flashlight shone on the wound, and the friction caused by the violent impact had completely worn out the epidermis, but the blood did not come out much, just seeped out of the pores little by little.

But the muscles were already completely red and blue at this point, and after a rough judgment, the bones in the arm were probably broken.

Since I didn't know what caused the wound, Huang Na quickly bandaged me casually, and sent me to the hospital with my arms.

When I arrived at the hospital, I quickly found a doctor to check on me, and thankfully, probably because of some deviation in the angle, my arm did not collide head-on with the mysterious black shadow, but fortunately there was no fracture.

Examining my wound carefully, the doctor asked me how it had been done.

I didn't have a good explanation to him, but he said that it was too dark at night and he accidentally fell.

But he smiled disapprovingly,

"I don't think you like a fall, I'm afraid you're fighting with someone, you're obviously injured by a blunt object, how can you fall like this."

I scratched my head and didn't speak, and when he saw that I didn't speak, he didn't ask any more.

He disinfected me, rubbed some medicinal wine, bandaged and let me go back.

I suddenly remembered that the workers on the construction site told me that Xie Dacheng had come to the hospital to visit Wang Lianxiang this morning.

I came to Wang Lianxiang's ward, this time she was much more honest, and I didn't hear her noisy voice again.

I called a nurse to ask Wang Lianxiang about her recent situation, and she told me that Wang Lianxiang's condition has gradually begun to improve in the past few days, and she is no longer as crazy as before.

I asked her if Wang Lianxiang had been clamoring to see a black shadow in the past few days, and she just shook her head.

She also said that her husband Xie Dacheng had come to visit her in the morning and was going to go through the discharge procedures for her.

Originally, she could have been discharged from the hospital according to her current condition, but the doctor told him that for the sake of insurance, he had decided to stay in the hospital for a day of observation, and if there was no problem, he could be discharged tomorrow.

Xie Dacheng heard what the doctor said, and left without saying too much.

I nodded in understanding, and went back with Huang Na.

Back at the police force, Lao Zhang had already returned, was waiting for us in the office, and when he saw that I was injured, he hurriedly came over and asked me what was wrong.

I told him what I had discovered in the afternoon and what had happened on the site in the evening, and he was shocked and incredulous.

I didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, so I asked him what he had learned.

Lao Zhang told me that he went to several large and small venues to check, and indeed inquired about the news of the dead old man.

They did often appear in those fields during their lifetimes, although they were very old, but they were not unusual, and when Lao Zhang went to investigate, he also saw many elderly people.

He also said that the gambling they played before their death was not small, and they were very generous, and they were relatively generous people in that circle.

Regarding the death of the old man, most people are in a state of indifference, and as for other news, there is relatively little news.

Could it really be the old man who killed him for money? But how to explain Liu Guilan's death?

Coincidental?

I really don't want to believe that.

There must be some connection between these two cases, which can be explained by a single point.

That dark shadow.

Since Liu Guilan's death, he has been in my sight, and even began to attack me.

I'm even starting to wonder if there really are ghosts at work.

There aren't many worlds left for me to solve the case, but I'm still here suspicious, shaking my head vigorously, and quickly extinguishing this idea.

Huang Na saw that my behavior was a little strange and asked me what was wrong.

I was a little embarrassed to say what was in my mind, so I had to change the subject and get back to the case.

I asked Lao Zhang what he thought, but he was just smoking vigorously, and his eyes were even more obscure from the smoke.

I took out all the records of the investigation from the very beginning and all the findings we made and laid them out on the table.

I read it again from beginning to end, and almost every record was accompanied by two dazzling words,

Shadow.

I began to feel like it was like a rope around my neck, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter.

An invisible feeling of pressure and suffocation began to grapple over me, making it difficult for me to breathe.

I wanted to say something, but I opened my mouth but couldn't make any sound.

I was about to reach forward and grab something, but I found that my arm had become so heavy that I couldn't lift it at all.

Even the old Zhang in front of me, in my eyes, began to gradually blur and distort, and then began to turn black little by little, becoming larger, and becoming the black shadow that appeared several times in my dreams......

An inexplicable wave of anger swept through my mind, and I began to lose control of my body, so I picked up the file bag in my hand and threw it at Lao Zhang in front of me.

Lao Zhang was also taken aback by my action, and hurriedly asked me what I was doing, if I was crazy!

I didn't listen to it at all, and continued to grab the things around me and smash them at Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang asked me loudly while dodging what was wrong, but I didn't pay any attention to it, just continued to do what I did.

Huang Na grabbed my shoulders from behind at this time, and Lao Zhang also pounced on me and pushed me to the ground.

I began to resist violently, and Lao Zhang and Huang Na kept pressing on my body, holding my arms and legs with their feet, respectively.

I couldn't break free, I could only gasp for air, my eyes fixed on them.

At this point, the strength in my body began to fade away.

Then, I lost consciousness......
