After discovering that someone was watching him, Shen Xing's heartbeat sped up for no apparent reason, which was immediately reflected on the monitor next to him.
He had no choice but to cough twice and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was a middle-aged man with a slightly sallow face and a thin body. He was the one who spoke just now.
This man's hair was a little messy and he was wearing a gray jacket and trousers. The jacket on his body was yellowed and he still didn't want to throw it away.
But this guy looked at him with calm and deep eyes, as if he could see what Shen Xing was thinking.
"Are you awake now?" Li Naijing came over.
Then she shrugged again, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you hear it. You have already encountered something abnormal, and we can't hide it from you."
After finishing speaking, Li Naijing looked at the middle-aged man sitting next to Shen Xing: "Brother Zheng, what do you think?"
This middle-aged man is Zheng Ruijun, the leader of the special case investigation team of the Yungu City Public Security Department. When Li Naijing met Shen Xing for the first time, he did not show up because he had other cases in hand.
But this time there was so much commotion here that even if Zheng Ruijun hadn't finished handling the case, he had to come over and take a look.
In fact, he entered the ward with Li Naijing, Xiong Wei and others just now, but he did not speak and moved lightly. As soon as he entered, he sat next to the hospital bed.
Seeing Li Naijing asking him, Zheng Ruijun said nothing and just nodded.
Li Naijing seemed to have received the instruction and looked at Shen Xing: "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
Shen Xing paused and spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse: "I... didn't believe it before, but now, I believe it."
The young man sitting on the other side of the hospital bed said: "Actually, the people in our investigation team don't really believe it even now."
After hearing his words, Shen Xing was stunned.
Li Naijing pointed at the young man, then pointed at Zheng Ruijun, and introduced: "His name is Zhao Wenbo, and this is the leader of our investigation team, Zheng Ruijun."
"Why don't you believe it?" Shen Xing asked.
Zhao Wenbo smiled and shook his head without saying a word, as if this was a secret or could not be explained clearly at all.
Li Naijing said: "Because the things we encountered were very bizarre, so bizarre that these bizarre events cannot be accurately and effectively defined."
Shen Xing nodded thoughtfully.
"Is the mangy dog that died in your bedroom the one you told Naijing you met in the garbage alley behind the community last time?" Zheng Ruijun asked.
"Creamer?" Shen Xing didn't react for a moment, but then he looked awkward and nodded: "Yes, that's the one."
"Is there any difference when you see it for the second time?" Zheng Ruijun asked without thinking about anything else.
Shen Xing tried hard to take his attention away from the image of creamer in his mind and recalled carefully: "The first time I didn't pay attention to the dog, it soiled my pants, and the second time I found that the eye was wrong. , as if Lin Wanru’s blood pupils appeared in its eye sockets.”
Zheng Ruijun nodded slightly and looked at Li Naijing and Zhao Wenbo. They seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, but now they got confirmation from Shen Xing.
"Then did you see that bloody pupil?"
Later, the sheriffs did not find Xue Tong in Shen Xing's bedroom, well, except for the wooden sculpture that looked very similar to Xue Tong.
As for this wood carving, together with Hong Bin's half-length wood carving, it is still placed on Shen Xing's workbench. It is just a handmade work and cannot attract the attention of the members of the case handling team.
Shen Xing seemed to be reminiscing, but in fact he was quickly thinking about how to answer. After a pause, he replied: "In desperation, I seemed to have stabbed the dog's eyeball with an arc knife, and then pulled it hard. Later I saw the dog's eyeball. A dog seemed to have fallen to the ground, but I couldn't hold it up any longer, and I fainted quickly. Later, I felt that my body was being lifted, and it must have been you who came here."
"In other words, after you dug out the eyeballs, you never saw them again?" Li Naijing asked suspiciously.
Shen Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm not even sure whether my eyeballs were dug out. You know, everything was in a panic at the time, and my shoulder was bleeding a lot. I thought I was going to die, and I didn't have time to care. other."
"Why did you dig out the pupil instead of stabbing the dog's vital organs with a knife?" Zheng Ruijun asked this key question.
Shen Xing looked at Li Naijing and still smiled bitterly: "You can ask Li Naijing about this. When Lin Wanru's body appeared, I noticed something was wrong with the blood pupil, which caused a great shock to me. I still have this An unfinished wooden sculpture of an eyeball was carved, and Li Naijing also knows this."
Zheng Ruijun looked at Li Naijing, who nodded.
Shen Xing added: "So when I was chased and bitten by a vicious dog, after I grabbed the arc knife, I almost subconsciously poked the eyeball."
At this point, Shen Xing has basically explained the matter clearly, but for these investigators, the whereabouts of Xue Tong is what they are most concerned about.
Of course, their focus was not within Shen Xing's consideration.
He only knows that so far, he has harvested two ghosts, one is Hong Bin and the other is Blood Eye.
After talking for a while, the investigation team members left, leaving Xiong Wei in front of Shen Xing's bed.
"Team Bear, do you also know ghosts?" Shen Xing asked first before Xiong Wei could speak.
Xiong Wei nodded: "I am from the homicide team, and I have encountered some strange incidents more or less during my contact with the case."
"Does a ghost appear in every murder case?" Shen Xing asked curiously.
Xiong Wei smiled and said: "How can there be so many ghosts! Very few, very rare. And you just heard Zhao Wenbo say that even the members of the special case investigation team don't really believe that these strange events are related to ghosts. "
Shen Xing probably understood and nodded: "Although it cannot be completely confirmed at the moment, let's call it 'ghost' for the time being."
To be honest, the scene of blood pupils crawling through the optic nerves appeared in his mind. Now Shen Xing is not sure whether that thing is a ghost. Maybe it is some kind of strange force. Maybe it is the resentment accumulated in the eyeballs after Lin Wanru died. special changes.
In short, even for things that the Special Case Investigation Team couldn't determine, he couldn't find the answer for the time being.
"well!"
Sighing, Shen Xing felt exhausted from the experiences and changes he had experienced in the past few days. A wave of tiredness welled up in him, and he was ready to close his eyes and rest.
"You need to take good care of yourself first, and pay attention to safety at all times before they find the weird eyeball Li Naijing mentioned." Seeing that he was about to sleep, Xiong Wei said, taking out the briefcase he was carrying. A red hard shell certificate.
"This is the 'Good Citizen' certificate awarded to you by the Sheriff's Department. The bonus is 10,000 yuan, which will be directly deposited into your account to reward you for helping the Sheriff's Department catch the murderer."
"Hey, if you're talking about this, I won't be sleepy anymore." Shen Xing opened his eyes and saw the red certificate.
Xiong Wei laughed, put the certificate in the drawer of the bedside table, and reminded: "Remember to take it with you when you are discharged from the hospital. You have lost too much blood now. You can just rest for a while. In fact, the wound is not serious."
Shen Xing thanked him and asked casually: "The treatment fee for my hospitalization this time..."
"The Public Security Department is in charge, you don't have to worry." Xiong Wei said.
"Then I'll be relieved." Shen Xing said bluntly, looking relieved.
As a small businessman, he would be lying if he said he wasn't worried when he was suddenly faced with such expensive medical bills.
"Is the door of my house closed?" Shen Xing suddenly thought about it.
Xiong Wei smiled and said: "It's closed, and we asked our cooperating unit of the Public Security Department to replace a security door and bedroom door for you. The door locks have been replaced with new ones. The keys will be delivered tomorrow at the latest."
"well, thanks!"
Shen Xing patted his chest, his obsessive-compulsive symptoms disappeared instantly, and he closed his eyes to sleep peacefully.
