In an instant, the face opened its eyes. The slightly dark brown pupils, the slightly raised corners of the mouth, the straight bridge of the nose, and the facial features of the face were exactly the same as Song Xiaoyu himself.
"Hey hey hey..."
The familiar laughter that woke up Song Xiaoyu came from this strange cheek. The white-cheeked mouth was cracked and had no teeth, but through the cracked mouth, the waste paper under the paper basket behind the face could be seen.
The long black hair spread out in the wastebasket, the pale face, and this face exactly like his own was smiling strangely at Song Xiaoyu.
This scene made Song Xiaoyu, who was in extreme fear, suddenly tremble subconsciously, and her consciousness quickly disappeared before she screamed.
Time passes minute by minute.
Song Hao usually has the habit of snoring after falling asleep, and his wife An Lifen has been used to his snoring for a long time. However, this time, Song Hao was woken up by An Lifen's forceful shaking.
He knew that his snoring might have disturbed his wife, so he turned over and was about to go back to sleep.
An Lifen shook his arm again.
Song Hao opened his eyes sleepily, and asked in an unhappy tone, "What are you doing?"
An Lifen's voice was very low, as if she had woken up a long time ago. She leaned close to Song Hao's ear and whispered: "There was someone in our bedroom just now!"
"Ah!" Song Hao was startled, and suddenly he was more than half asleep.
"who?"
He raised his head and looked around. Although there was light coming from outside the room, the bedroom was already very dark. He couldn't see anything even one meter away from the bed.
So Song Hao didn't quite believe that An Lifen could see someone in the room.
"That person has been standing next to our bed just now." An Lifen's body was trembling slightly, and her voice was trembling, "I didn't dare to move, so I could only pretend to sleep."
After listening to his wife's description, Song Hao also felt frightened and frightened. He quickly sat up and turned on the bedside lamp. The two of them immediately scanned the bedroom and saw no one.
"Maybe there is a thief in the house." Song Hao guessed, and then his expression was shocked, "I wonder if my daughter is okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, took out a flashlight from the bedside, held it tightly, and said to An Lifen: "Hold your phone!"
Then he quickly walked to the bedroom door, only to find that the bedroom door, which was originally closed, was now ajar.
With a sudden feeling in his heart, Song Hao slowly approached the door. Just as he was about to open the door, someone pushed the door open from the outside, and Song Xiaoyu walked in quickly with a pale face.
"Dad, I'm scared! I just... felt like I had a nightmare!"
Song Hao immediately hugged her and took a look at the corridor behind Song Xiaoyu. He found nothing unusual. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did you find a thief in the house?"
Song Xiaoyu shook his head.
Song Hao turned back to An Lifen and said, "Did you see it wrong?"
An Lifen stared at Song Xiaoyu for a moment, seemingly thoughtful, and nodded: "Maybe... I saw it wrong."
"It's okay, Xiaoyu. You go back to the bedroom first. Dad will walk through every room to confirm."
After saying that, Song Xiaoyu went back to his bedroom, and he checked the living room, kitchen, closet, study room, Song Xiaoyu's bedroom and bathroom. No abnormalities were found. He also checked the door locks. They were all in good condition. , and there was no sign of it being opened.
At this time, Song Xiaoyu was already lying on the bed and seemed to be asleep.
Song Hao closed the bedroom door for her, returned to the master bedroom, and returned to the bed.
"There is no one else at home. You may have been asleep just now and saw it wrong." He muttered, pulling Xia Liang's quilt to cover him.
Suddenly, he noticed that An Lifen's body was trembling, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at her in confusion.
An Lifen trembled and said: "Just...after seeing Xiao Yu...I am sure that before you woke up, it was her...who had been standing beside our bed."
…
Two days later, Hong Anjie returned from traveling with his father Hong Bin.
As soon as this guy got home, he called Shen Xing and said that he wanted to treat Shen Xing to dinner, firstly to thank him, and secondly, to pick up the half-length wooden sculpture of his father that he had ordered.
Shen Xing had already prepared the second half-length wooden sculpture.
The meal time was set at seven o'clock in the evening, at the Yuemanlou Restaurant in the old city. It was set at this place so that Shen Xing could bring out the wood carvings, and Hong Anjie and his son drove here.
The sky is still very bright at seven o'clock in the evening. In the summer in Yungu City, the night usually doesn't fall until after eight o'clock.
Because of ordering and preparation, the Hong family father and son arrived at the restaurant earlier than Shen Xing. The food on this table was very rich, with seven dishes and one soup for three people, but it seemed a bit wasteful in Shen Xing's opinion.
In the private room, while eating vegetables and drinking Baiqujiang wine, Shen Xing asked about Hong Bin's physical condition.
Hong Bin, who had been traveling for a few days, seemed to be in a good mood and was already a completely normal person. According to Hong Anjie, his father no longer had any of the abnormal behaviors he had before.
After eating for a while, Shen Xing opened the video on his phone, then opened the video sent to him by Ma Jinlong, deputy leader of the missing persons team of the Public Security Department, and handed it to Hong Anjie.
"This is the last image of me, Ye Ting, that was found by the Public Security Department. Please help me take a look at it and see if there's anything noteworthy about it."
The reason for doing this is that Shen Xing wanted to test Hong Anjie to see if he would see the weird scene he saw before when watching this video.
In order to avoid the weird situation that would occur if two people watched it together, he stopped Hong Bin who wanted to watch the video with his son out of curiosity.
"Uncle Hong, I'll show it to you after Anjie has finished reading it."
Hong Bin nodded, raised his wine glass, clinked the glasses with Shen Xing with a smile on his face, and drank it all in one gulp.
It can be seen that this old man usually drinks well and his physical fitness should be good. If he hadn't been worn down by the fake Hong Bin a while ago, he wouldn't have fainted at any time.
During this period, Shen Xing had been observing Hong Anjie's expression. Halfway through the video, Hong Anjie's brows furrowed, obviously feeling a little weird.
After the video ended, Hong Anjie still held the phone and looked up at Shen Xing: "Are there any other videos?"
"No more." Shen Xing shook his head, "Replay the video first and show it to Uncle Hong, and then we'll talk."
He was afraid that Hong Anjie's words would have a certain psychological impact on Hong Bin, who had not yet watched the video, so he planned to ask them what they saw and thought after they both watched it.
Hong Bin took the phone and looked at it carefully.
It has to be said that during this process, the expressions of the father and son were carved from the same mold, exactly the same.
After Hong Bin watched the video, Shen Xing took the phone and asked Hong Anjie: "What do you think is the strangest part in the video?"
Hong Anjie said: "When Ye Ting was talking to the air outside the window, he was still making gestures. I can't understand this at all."
He, Shen Xing and Ye Ting were all college classmates, and the three of them had known each other well before, so Hong Anjie was also worried after Ye Ting disappeared.
Moreover, Hong Anjie knew Ye Ting's character, and his abnormal behavior was indeed unbelievable to him.
Hong Bin was surprised at this time and said: "Is this girl talking to the air? I thought she was shouting to someone in the opposite building from a distance, but it didn't seem like she was talking loudly!"
"What about other than that? Do you see anything else?" Shen Xing asked.
"No more." Hong Anjie shook his head, "It feels like Ye Ting is talking and discussing with someone, but making such an action facing the window is strange."
Shen Xing nodded calmly. He knew that neither father nor son had seen the strange scene he had seen in the video.
That is, so far, he is the only one who has seen Ye Ting in the video suddenly look in the direction of the camera.
