"Hey! Here it comes. ”

A woman opened the door and asked happily, "What is the matter?" ”

I looked at him, then showed the police card issued by the shelter, and then said calmly: "Hello, we are here to investigate a person, we have found you according to the clues, can we go in and have a look?" ”

"Okay, you are worthy of being a people's policeman, and the way you speak is kind, unlike others."

I listened to her praise and unconsciously lowered my head.

I looked through everything in the courtyard and noticed a girl sitting in a chair in the hall.

She was dressed in red, blending in with the red wrap behind her, like a girl about to be married.

"Who is she?" I pointed to the girl in the hall, and a chill ran down my back.

"She is my daughter, I am the widow of the town, she is the only seedling of our family."

I listened to the woman's words and subconsciously put on the recorder.

I saw the girl stand up, then bowed politely to me and said, "Hello Uncle Policeman." ”

I watched her movements, stiff as a machine, very sluggish.

"Little girl, where is your house?" I asked, pretending to be calm.

She suddenly put on a smiling face, and then said mechanically, "My house is here." ”

I felt my scalp tingle, and the girl's face didn't change in the slightest, not even her lips were closed, and she was always smiling.

"Has the little girl ever seen a person named Chen Jianwu? That's what he looks like. I still spoke in a soft tone, but my hands were shaking uncontrollably when I handed my phone.

"I haven't seen it, what is the police uncle looking for him?" She still had the same smile on her face, as if she were a doll standing there.

"It's nothing, you must tell me when you see it!" I barely laughed, but the laughter was like gasping for breath, and it was very laborious.

"Good!" Her tone suddenly rose up.

"Remember, call the police brother!"

I left this strange mansion under the woman's watch.

"What happened to you? Is there something wrong with it? ”

The town is so peaceful at night, as if no one lives here.

I walked on the path between the paddy fields, looked at the starry paddy fields reflected in the night sky in the distance, and said absentmindedly, "Did she call me a police brother?" ”

"Brother Policeman!" That familiar voice sounded behind me.

I hurriedly turned my head, only to see Elena fiddling with my recorder.

"Don't be like this, it's scary!" I snatched the recorder from her hand and turned off the recorder's recording function.

"Hehehaha, you're even afraid? How? Afraid of that little girl? Elena grinned, and her eerie laughter resounded throughout the paddy fields.

"Don't you think she's a little weird?" I listened to Elena's laughter, then watched as she stopped laughing.

"I think she's cute, huh? Isn't it? ”

I walked in front of me, ignoring Elena's questions behind me.

"Isn't it? Brother Policeman. "That familiar sound rang in my ears, like exploding fireworks.

"Don't be funny, Elena! Right? I didn't dare to look back, but I kept asking, "It's Elena, right?" ”

"Don't the police brother like me?" A pair of cold hands touched my shoulders.

I immediately ran forward, and then tripped over a rock that came from nowhere.

"Brother policeman, don't run, hehe!"

I ran to the mountains in a panic.

Behind him was the sound of constant chasing, and in his ears were a pair of cold hands.

Is it the voice chasing me from behind, or the hands singing in my ear? I couldn't tell the difference for a long time, I just knew how to run, until the sound behind me disappeared.

The space in front of me seemed to be stretched, and I couldn't run out of this rugged mountain road.

Behind him is still the voice that is chasing after him like a ghost.

I felt as if someone was behind me, as if someone was riding on top of me, and the icy cold wind blew into my uniform, as if a pair of dead hands had come in.

My chest was covered with sweat, just like an athlete who had just finished exercising, and my back was in a cold sweat.

The voice continued to destroy my sanity, as if it wanted to pull me into the abyss from which I could never recover.

"There are no ghosts in the world, right?"

My mind was filled with such absurd thoughts all the time, as if a madman was talking to himself.

"No way, that girl must still be in that house, I'm just too nervous, I must be too nervous."

I stopped, gasping for air, as if I had just gone through a life-or-death ordeal.

"Brother policeman, I'm on your back, keep running!"

A pair of icy hands caressed my hot skull like a flame doused by water, and my brain instantly cleared up.

"Brother policeman, look at me, see if I'm as terrifying as you say."

The hands were gripping my skull as if they were going to remove it.

"Brother policeman?"

I couldn't stop shaking all over my body.

Finally, I turned around and punched behind me.

Then, I saw Elena fall to the paddy field.

I grabbed her hand in a hurry, only to see her face change to the girl's appearance.

"Brother policeman, do you think I'm good-looking?"

I immediately let go of my hand, only to see Elena sink into the paddy field.

I watched her sink deeper and deeper, like a stone sinking into the depths of the sea, into the bottomless darkness.

I angrily smacked the ground and jumped into the paddy field.

After a while, I grabbed Elena's hand, put her on my back, and swam as far as I could to the surface.

"Brother policeman, can't you let me go?"

The ghostly voice haunted my head, but I didn't let go.

It wasn't until I swam ashore that the sound began to dissipate.

I carried Elena on my back and ran back to the house.

I kicked the door open, only to find it empty.

"Old woman! Little girl! I stood in the yard and shouted.

Seeing that there was no one inside, I carried Elena on my back and ran to one of the rooms inside.

In the dimly lit room, a bright light shone on my face, and I was surprised to see that the two of us were not soaked in water.

I didn't turn off the lights or sleep, I just sat awake on the edge of the bed, looked at Elena with a fever, and asked to myself, "Why are you so scared?" I can't die again! ”

I looked at the starry sky outside the window, looked at Elena with a flushed face, and then smiled: "Like an apple that is extremely red, a big killer for doctors, an apple haha!" ”

As I thought this, I saw Elena move.

"Mom, I'm afraid."

She threw herself into my arms like a little girl and cried.

"They bullied me and didn't let anyone get close to me, and my dad was always like that, he never cared about me."

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I deliberately raised my voice and said in an extremely unskilled voice: "Be good, don't be afraid, mom is next to you." ”

I remember when I was a child, when I had nightmares, my mom would always comfort me when I cried.

"But that's not what you said before, you want me to be a doctor, and then take your place."

I listened to her crying and watched as she clenched my neckline.

"I'm so tired, I've watched them play since I was a kid, and I can only face some problems, and I want to go out and play with them."

She cried like a little girl about what had happened to her, and then said happily: "But now that I have done it, I have taken your place, praise me quickly!" All right? ”

I carefully put my hand on her head and whispered, "You have done more than I expected, and you will always be my pride." ”

I learned what I had seen before, and for the first time I felt sympathy for Elena.

"She's pretending to be indifferent to the gossip."

"Maybe what she needs is not sympathy, but praise."

I didn't sleep that night, I just acted as a seat.

The next day, I was back at the shelter early.

"Go, the director is looking for you!"
