Prisons are usually the places with high mortality rates, other than hospitals. Because prisons are different from detention centers, detention centers only temporarily detain prisoners, while prisons are places where prisoners need to be re-educated through labor after they are convicted. There are many felons in prisons, even those on death row. As a result, there are often prisoners in the prison who are taken away and shot because it is time to go on the road, and the remaining criminals whose release date is far away are willing to be killed, and they are even more lawless. Maybe he expected his death anyway, so he pulled some people to accompany him to the funeral.

So the prison can almost be said to be the place where the mortality rate is second only to the hospital, but now we are in a place that is just a shelter, although the way of management is a bit similar to the prison, but after all, these people are not prisoners, but more of a sick person. I was still surprised when Long Jiyou said that four people had died in a row in more than a month, because it meant that on average, one person died every week, and the rate seemed to be a bit higher for the containment station.

Long Jiyou told Master that the real suspiciousness of this incident was that every time someone died, it was someone in the same isolation room who died. Four dead in a row were held in the same room. Master said that it was possible that there was a person who had died in this room before, and this person had become an evil ghost, so he kept killing people, and as more and more people died, his own resentment became heavier and heavier, resulting in higher and higher frequency.

Master used easy-to-understand words to explain his views to Long Jiyou. Then the Master asked, had anyone ever died in that cell before these four people? Long Jiyou said that he heard that a person had died a year ago, but he hadn't come here to work at that time, so the specific situation needed to be asked to the stationmaster. It's just that this kind of thing is not a glorious thing in the first place, and I don't know how to talk to the stationmaster. After the death of the fourth person a few days ago, the stationmaster also came to say hello, don't spread the word about this matter, these homeless people have no relatives, just deal with it according to the funeral method of the unknown person. lest they let people know that we have died four times in just one month, and that we are abusive.

Long Jiyou said, so no one dares to publicize this matter, but they feel that something is wrong, according to this situation, sooner or later, something will happen, and then the situation will be even more difficult to recover. So I hid it from the stationmaster and secretly told my master.

Master turned his head and told me that the first time he mentioned this matter to me was when he received Long Jiyou's letter, so it has been almost a week since the last person died to today, and if the previous death of four people in a row was not a pure coincidence, I am afraid that in the past few days, something strange will happen.

Master asked, "Is there anyone else living in the dead man's isolation room now?" Long Jiyou said that every other day, new containment personnel will be sent, and the place is already small, so there is no choice but to send it there. Master asked, is there a way to transfer all the people in that room to another room first, and then leave some time for me and my apprentice to investigate? Long Jiyou said, this time is there, but it is not a long-term solution, because none of us can say for sure, when will this happen again, what if the people inside are transferred and they go to other rooms?

Long Jiyou's worries are not unreasonable, after all, when Master and I come, we need a more thorough investigation to find the root of the problem, and this kind of investigation is precisely not visible to other staff here, otherwise, we may have to stay here for a long time. Long Jiyou is obviously on the night shift this month, but today he has replaced someone else's day shift, which means that if he counts tonight, it will be two full nights and one day without rest, and now there is only one night left that has not yet come, and it is probably unrealistic for me and Master to investigate clearly in such a short period of time.

Master asked Long Jiyou, "So, in this way, you have only one doorman and one person on duty in each class, right?" Other than that, there's no one else in this station? Long Jiyou said yes, there used to be a doctor in the station, who was specially designed to protect the health of these people, but now he is fighting like a bandit outside, and the doctor was recruited by the militia team of the district revolutionary committee, saying that he wanted to send us another doctor, but this has been almost half a year, and he has not even seen a shadow. Master asked, "What about you stationmasters?" Don't you come to check on your work on weekdays? Long Jiyou said that he would come, and he would come on the first day of every week, but he would just listen to our work report, including the situation of the containment personnel, etc., and he would register once a week before leaving.

Master smiled and said, "In that case, then this booklet that he made a record should be in your station, right?" Can you show us? Long Jiyou hurriedly shook his hand and said That's not good, the stationmaster has his own office, just in the farthest room in the row you just passed, the door is locked, and no one has a key except the stationmaster. Even if you have a key, you don't know where the stationmaster is when you go in.

Master and I looked at each other and smiled, and then Master said, "That's not a big problem, as long as we can think of it, we can naturally find what we are looking for." Long Jiyou looked at the two of us with some hesitation, as if my master and I were here to make trouble.

Master asked Long Jiyou, apart from that, are there any other phenomena that you find suspicious? You're on the night shift, did anything unusual happen here when you were on duty? And then there's the question of whether the deaths of those people happened during the day shift or the night shift?

Long Jiyou said, the specific time of death is not necessarily, there have been days and nights, as for unusual things, it is a bit evil, first of all, since the first person died, when he was on night duty, he often heard some strange sounds, but every time these sounds sounded, he would always subconsciously listen carefully, but at this time the sound stopped again. Sometimes, this phenomenon can occur several times in a night, but because I can't hear it when I concentrate on listening, I can't tell whether there is real movement or my own hallucination.

He went on to say that another time was even more bizarre, it was already two or three o'clock in the night, and the containment personnel had already gone to bed, and because he heard a strange noise, he went out of the office to check, so he walked to the iron railing. Our little dam for containment personnel has a light at night so that our people on duty can see what's going on inside. When I came to take over the shift that afternoon, I just heard from my colleagues on the day shift that a person died in the isolation room in the morning, but that night I stood across the railing and smoked, but I reflected the light, and vaguely saw the isolation of the dead person established, and there was a dark and hazy figure, standing behind the iron railing door, looking at the isolation room opposite.

Long Jiyou said that he didn't pay attention at the time, and thought it was a containment person who got up to pee or something, but after throwing away the cigarette butt, he suddenly remembered that after someone died in the morning, the isolation room was empty for a while, and no one was in it at all! So he looked at it again, and found that the original figure had disappeared.

Long Jiyou said frankly that it was the first time he was really scared, because he had asked my master to deal with the ghost things around him many years ago, so he was convinced of the existence of these things, and from that moment on, he realized that something was wrong, and there was probably something dirty here.

It is precisely because of such a thought in his heart that Long Jiyou can't help but lean things in these directions whenever there is any trouble, such suspicion really makes him discover some strange phenomena. Long Jiyou told us that since he saw the figure behind the door on the day he hit the fight, he noticed that every time someone was about to die, one of the containment staff in the women's dormitory would keep hitting the iron door of the isolation room where the person was going to die with his head when he was in the wind.

Master and I both think this is a relatively important clue, but we don't know why. So the master asked Long Jiyou, could this woman's knock on the door just coincidence? Or did she just hit this door? Long Jiyou said that he thought it was a coincidence at first, but when he chatted with his colleague during the shift change, he talked about this woman, and found that this colleague was also aware of it, but he didn't think about it, but said that this woman had to bang on the door several times every few days, as if she was ringing the death knell, and as soon as she knocked here, she died the next day.

It was originally a joke, but it told Long Jiyou in disguise that in fact, on the day before the first person died, this woman also knocked on the door. But such speculation is undoubtedly unfounded, so from that day on, when Long Jiyou went to work, he paid special attention to this woman's movements. The night before the fourth person died, he happened to be on duty, and after dinner, he gave the containment staff almost an hour of activity time, Long Jiyou saw that the woman had been squatting at the door of his isolation room, but suddenly she seemed to be crazy, dancing on the ground, shouting and scolding, and then ran directly to the door, first punching and kicking the door, and then, as if she was tired, she began to bang on the door with her forehead. Then, as if nothing happened, he walked away silently.

Master asked, she was yelling at the time, didn't you all pay attention? Long Jiyou said of course pay attention, but half of the people imprisoned here are delirious, this woman is a crazy person at all, what can you do with her? However, after seeing this scene at that time, Long Jiyou still secretly paid attention to the containment staff in the isolation room, and until the next morning, when he handed over the shift, there was still no abnormality, and he specially told his colleagues to pay more attention to the people inside, but when he came to hand over the shift again that night, he found that another person in the house had died.

Long Jiyou stretched out four fingers, representing the four people who died before and after, and said a little helplessly, although there is still no evidence, I think this is simply too strange. That's why, I need Master Lin to come, if there is really an evil thing here, you can send a magical power and accept it.
