Chapter V: Investigation

Only one door in the ten-story hallway is open. Don't think about it, this must be Lin Lu's house.

"The deceased Lin Lu lived here alone, his parents lived on the outskirts of the city, we have been in contact, but their relationship does not seem to be very good, especially the father of the deceased, when he heard the news, he didn't feel any reaction, let alone want to come."

Isn't the family relationship so good?

Standing outside the door, Zhou Yong raised his chin at the door.

"Let's go, go in and look at the note."

Su Xing didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Most of the interior decoration of the house is quite simple, that is, the main tone is white, with gray lines.

In addition to the wall, unlike the clean and tidy places around, this wall makes people think at first glance that the criminal police team is investigating a shocking case.

All kinds of broken mannequins with strange postures, costumes and props that only appear in movies, hand-drawn drawings with messy lines and abstract lines, and various urban legends and photos circulating on the Internet......

A series of objects are placed on shelves and on the walls, many of which are connected by red threads, as if to indicate some kind of connection between the objects.

"He's a writer by profession and has these things...... Uh, that's not too weird, right? ”

Zhou Yong looked at the awakening beside him, and tentatively asked, to see if this powerful man could put forward a different opinion.

"It makes sense, but putting it together doesn't feel like it's as simple as finding inspiration for writing. By the way, what about the note? ”

"Inside the bedroom."

Inside the bedroom, heavy curtains block out the light from the outside, making the inside look a little drowsy.

The air conditioner on the wall is not activated, but there is a trace of cool air lingering in the room, which makes people feel cold after staying for a long time.

There were a lot of paper books on the desk in the room, and there were a lot of paper balls and shredded paper scraps in the trash cans and on the floor next to it.

"When we first arrived, it was all over the ground, and we were still working on it one by one to see if there was anything missing."

As he spoke, Zhou Yong walked to the desk with his awakening, and the note in the photo was placed in the center of the table.

"Brother Su, do you know what the funeral is written here? Next is what do you mean? If you weren't sure they were mentally ill, I doubt you'd be in trouble. ”

Su Xing rubbed the tip of his nose and replied casually, "People don't mess with people, but other things can't be said." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

This brainless sentence made Zhou Yong not react for a while.

"It's nothing, it's just a casual remark. By the way, speaking of this funeral, I'm going to ask you to check someone. Her name was Chen Xin, and Lin Lu mentioned this name when he was in the clinic, which probably meant that he was forced to attend the woman's funeral. ”

In fact, there was no hope for Wake Up, after all, there are too many people named Chen Xin in Luoxia City alone to count, not to mention that everyone has become weird, and there is no way to know what age they died, how can they be found out so easily.

But what was surprising was that when Chen Xin's words were spoken, Zhou Yong on the side immediately frowned and thought about it.

"Chen Xin, Chen Xin...... The name sounds familiar. Funeral...... Wait a minute, I seem to know that there is such a case, more than ten years ago, I also heard the seniors talk about it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Xing's eyes immediately moved over, his eyes stared at the other party impartially, and motioned to continue.

"Actually, I'm not sure, even if I heard about it, I can't guarantee it."

Zhou Yong didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he took a shot to prevent it first.

"I heard that there was a case more than ten years ago that there was a person named Chen Xin, who suddenly disappeared a few nights before her marriage, and then never appeared again, and then about half a month later, Chen Xin's father suddenly ran to the police station and turned himself in, saying that he killed his daughter.

But when asked why and how he killed him, he couldn't answer them. Later, after looking for more than a month, after all, no one was alive or dead, and Chen Xin's father was also determined to be insane.

Because there is no more evidence and no legal guilt, there is no doubt about the guilt, and then that's it. That guy seems to be still in our city's mental hospital, and I don't know which one it is. ”

A case that spanned more than a decade......

It is said that the birth of strange is because people still have great obsessions after death, so the body dissipates and the consciousness is immortal.

They will do everything they can to accomplish this obsession, until over time the obsession becomes deformed and grotesque.

"I seem to get it a little bit."

After listening to the other party's story, he woke up and muttered to himself.

"Brother Su, what do you know? Do you think that Lin Lu's suicide has anything to do with the case more than ten years ago? I can't get in touch with that. ”

"I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but if something can be determined, maybe the case from more than ten years ago can really be turned over."

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Yong was even more foggy.

"What relationship? Brother Su, don't be a riddler, can't we say anything clearly? ”

Just when Zhou Yong was about to break the casserole and ask to the end, Su Xing immediately changed the topic, not ready to continue to dwell on this issue, after all, weirdness exists in reality, this kind of thing is really not suitable for moving to the surface, especially since he is still a psychiatrist, saying this kind of thing will be regarded as a mental illness.

"Let's not talk about that, I want to know if you have the data from this camera?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the camera that was still working on the bookshelf next to him.

Looking at the awakened index finger, Zhou Yong replied loudly.

"Actually, half of the reason I asked you to come and see this note in person is because of the footage left by this camera."

Could it be that this camera has recorded something amazing?

Zhou Yong didn't sell it, but directly took the computer of his colleague next to him and began to play the first video in the order marked earlier.

In the video, it was Lin Lu adjusting the position of the camera, and I saw that after he was completely straightened, he was supporting the bookshelf with his arms and opening to the camera.

"Everything from last night is still in my head, and I'm sure it wasn't a nightmare at all. I tried to take a look at the surveillance of the neighborhood, but the weird thing is that the camera that captured me last night was either broken or didn't have a clear picture.

It's definitely no coincidence, including the invitation that appeared at the bedside this morning...... All this is definitely no coincidence. ”

As he spoke, Lin Lu in the video seemed to have heard something or felt something, and he looked back a few times nervously.

But the video shows that there is nothing behind him.

"I ...... I...... Actually, I'm not sure if all this is true or not, is it possible that everything I feel is a fantasy? I don't know, but I woke up in the morning feeling cold and had no appetite for all the food, so I forced a few mouthfuls, but it was a bunch of black stuff that I vomited.

If there's really something, hopefully this camera will catch her. ”

Behind the video, Lin Lu lay on the bed and fell asleep, and Zhou Yong dragged the progress bar to find the marked location.

The picture changed, and Lin Lu, who was lying flat on the bed, twitched violently, and then began to struggle, looking like an invisible force was choking his neck.

The next moment, he sat up from the bed abruptly, and bent his neck on the bed with his eyes half-open.

After a long while, he finally moved again, but it looked like he was sleepwalking unconsciously.

In the video, Lin Lu seems to have lost control of his limbs, crawling and wriggling like a caterpillar.

A large part of the back is a scene of him crawling around the room, and it is really scary for an adult man to behave like this in the middle of the night.

At the end of the first paragraph, Zhou Yong clicked to the next paragraph.

"When I saw that video from last night this morning, I really thought I was crazy. I've never had symptoms of sleepwalking, but ...... Maybe it's because of the woman named Chen Xin. I vaguely remember dreaming of her again last night, she was standing far away and calling my name, she said that the funeral bell rang, and I promised to go with her......"

Suddenly, Lin Lu looked out of the window with a somewhat dull expression, and froze in place for a long time before coming back to his senses.

"I still don't have the slightest appetite today, my body is getting colder and colder, and if I don't get better tomorrow morning, I must see a doctor, including a psychiatric department."

Behind this video, he still sleepwalks after falling asleep, but Lin Lu in this video is no longer squirming, but uses his limbs, but he is still like a beginner baby, and he staggers and falls down repeatedly.

Zhou Yong and Su Xing didn't speak, just exchanged a look and continued to point to the next paragraph.

This time, Lin Lu's eyes in the video were obviously in a trance.

"The doctor said there was nothing wrong with my body, but I couldn't even feel myself anymore. The psychiatrist said I needed to be observed for a few more days, but I knew I couldn't wait that long and I felt ...... I felt like I was dying, I heard the death knell in the distance, I heard the cries of the hordes.

I'm really going crazy, I can't explain what I was doing these two nights, I have no memory.

I always felt that every night my soul would be pulled to another world by that woman, and the body that remained was controlled by something else.

I can't go on like this, I have to find a more authoritative doctor...... Or anyone who can help me. ”

This night, Lin Lu's crawling posture was more skillful, but the strange thing was that he crawled with his hands and feet on the ground, belly facing up.

That night, he was so excited that he crawled on the floor and wall like a spider, and even slammed his face to the camera, grinning weirdly at the corners of his mouth that were almost torn.

As if to scare the person who is watching the video.

Even though it wasn't the first time he watched it, Zhou Yong was still startled by the sudden miserable white face, and leaned back slightly.

In the video, Lin Lu tilted his head and giggled, and then crawled out of the door in that weird posture.

The camera can't shoot outside, but it can hear sound.

Zhou Yong turned up his voice so that he could hear it more clearly.

Bang bang bang.

There is a dull knock on the door in the video.

Judging by the loudness, the knock was not in the same place.

So, that night Lin Lu climbed out in such a posture and knocked on his neighbor's door with his head?

Such a picture is terrifying just thinking about it.

There are expletive sounds coming from the video, but no one should open the door.

Perhaps it was because he didn't succeed in entering the neighbor's house, so a roar came out.

The last two videos are similar to this, and when the last one is left, Su Xing's face is a little solemn.

Judging by the time, this video should be from last night to early this morning. It is also a video before Lin Lu jumped off a building and committed suicide.

"Let's go."

got the nod of awakening, Zhou Yong swallowed and foamed at the mouth and clicked on the last paragraph.

"I went to a private clinic today and I was treated by Dr. Su, who is very young, maybe because of his age, so I feel very relaxed talking to him. He did some therapy on me, I don't know much about it, but I hope it helps.

I made an appointment for him to come over early tomorrow morning and I thought he should be able to help me. ”

In the last video, Lin Lu did not get up in a weird posture like before.

Drag the progress bar.

In the picture, I saw the curtains being lifted by a gust of night wind.

The video flickered for a moment, as if the camera was being interfered with by some force.

For a moment, he felt a figure pacing anxiously back and forth beside the bed, but it quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Lin Lu on the bed sat up suddenly, his eyes widening and panting.

After relieving himself, he hurriedly ran to the camera and put his face up.

"She didn't come tonight! I didn't dream of her again, no, to be exact, she didn't bring me into that world tonight. I knew that Dr. Su was different, and he would definitely be able to help me!

It's one o'clock in the morning, and Dr. Su will come over after dawn, and I'll wait for him. ”

After Lin Lu finished speaking excitedly, he immediately opened the notes on the table and began to write something.

But suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

No one spoke, except for three knocks on the door.

Lin Lu froze and looked in the direction of the security door, and after waiting for a long time to see that there was no follow-up, he buried his head on the desk again.

Knock knock.

The knock on the door rang again.

Lin Lu stood up and walked out cautiously.

There was no picture, but a voice could be heard, and only Lin Lu, who walked out of the bedroom, said three words in a puzzled tone soon after.

"Doctor Sue?"

Immediately after that, the sound of the security door clicking opened.

"Doctor Su, why did you come so early?"

Dr. Su...... Why do you keep staring at me? Why don't you speak? You...... What are you laughing at? ”

"Nope! Wrong! You're not Dr. Su at all! At this sentence, Lin Lu's voice was extremely frightened.

Lin Lu's figure returned to the picture, he sat on the ground and kept moving his body back.

But in the picture, there is only a cloud of air in front of him.

What's even more bizarre next is that Lin Lu staged a scene of fighting with the air like a one-man show.

It probably lasted more than ten minutes.

After the fight stopped, Lin Lu became a little sluggish.

He laughed silly, and cried sadly.

For a while, the joints of his whole body fell off and he seemed to lie on the ground, and then he got up again and smashed his head with his fist desperately.

I saw him crawl to the bookshelf with difficulty, and wanted to say something to the camera, but he couldn't make a sound.

Stumbling to the desk, he picked up a pen and began to write in his notebook.

Halfway through writing, his body twisted and continued to write with a strange smile.

The note was torn off and crumpled and thrown to the ground.

"Get out of my body......"

After Lin Lu struggled to squeeze out the last sentence, he stumbled away from the picture......

When all the footage ends, Wake stands still and frowns.

"Did you notice?"

Wake up and speak softly.

Zhou Yong turned his head in confusion, he didn't know what the awakening was referring to.

"Behind his back."

Zhou Yong rewinded the video and froze it.

"Behind his back...... What's wrong? ”

"Don't you see? There was one lying on his back, well......" Su woke up and didn't know what to say for a while, and paused before continuing to speak.

"A monkey-like child. After the knock on the door, Lin Lu opened the door and came back, and this thing was lying on his back. ”

Su Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The corners of Zhou Yong's eyes twitched, and he spoke tentatively in a whisper.

"Brother Su, don't scare me, I didn't see anything lying on his stomach behind him...... It's also possible that the video is damaged, or should I send it to the bureau for a professional look? ”

During the conversation, the two walked out one after the other, but no one noticed that in the messy pile of books, there were red blood stains oozing from the cracks in the pages.

And the camera that had been working on the bookshelf creaked and moved, like the eyes of a living person quietly turning, moving to the door of the room and constantly zooming in on the backs of the two.
