"Because the exhibits inside are all for exhibitions. If there is an accident, I won't be able to escape my involvement. Plus, what happened to the male teacher..."
"He always felt that the male teacher had not left and should still be in the art center."
"He first found the light switch on the wall behind the door, but when he pressed it, he realized that it felt wrong. It didn't feel crisp and clicky, but soft and seemed to be broken."
"Looking carefully with a flashlight, I found that the switch was cracked all around. It was smashed with a sharp object."
"The security guard's first reaction was that there was a burglar."
"Rustling..." Yuan Xiaoyi looked very similar, which made Jiang Cheng feel like he was actually there, as if he was the security guard that night.
"The security guard heard that strange sound again. This time he heard it more clearly. It was... right in the corner of the sculpture hall!"
"The security guard thought the other person was a thief, so he shouted loudly to ask the other person to come out. Then he shined a flashlight there and said that if he didn't come out, he would call the police!"
Yuan Xiaoyi paused, looked at Jiang Cheng, her face couldn't help but change slightly, "In the corner... there is indeed a person, wearing red clothes, squatting on the ground, facing the wall, lowering his head, he can only see From the back, you can’t see his face.”
Such a picture flashed through Jiang Cheng's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that if he were the security guard, he would turn around and leave, or stand on tiptoes, as quietly as possible, and whisper as quietly as possible.
But if it were him, I'm afraid there would be no subsequent plot.
"That person..." Yuan Xiaoyi's voice suddenly became nervous, "That person still shakes a few times from time to time, and the strange sounds come from him."
"At this moment, the security guard suddenly noticed that this man's feet... were all covered in blood! Bright red blood! The clothes were not originally red, but were stained red by blood!"
"This person is the male teacher! He was wearing white clothes when he came, so the security guard didn't recognize him immediately!"
"When the security guard walked up in a panic and just touched the male teacher's shoulder with his hand, the male teacher fell down and fell backwards."
"The exposed face was bloody and bloody, and both hands... both hands were cut into white bones, hanging on the chest like chicken feet, with pieces of meat and skin still left on them... ..."
At this point, Yuan Xiaoyi gasped violently. Telling such a story would make her feel deeply uneasy.
"Senior, he's not dead yet, he wasn't dead yet!" Yuan Xiaoyi's emotions were a little out of control.
"Xiao Yi, don't be afraid. I'm here, you're safe." Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and covered Yuan Xiaoyi's forehead, as if this could inject strength into her and help her overcome her fear.
His chest rose and fell violently. After a long while, Yuan Xiaoyi calmed down again and continued to tell Jiang Cheng the story.
"Then the security guard was so frightened that he ran away. Senior, can you imagine? At that time... that male teacher actually wanted to reach out to catch the security guard, so he used his hands ..."
"The security guard was completely stunned. When he ran, he panicked and hit the wall. His head was bleeding. He didn't even know it..."
"Back in the security room, he immediately called the police."
"The police arrived before dawn, but the male teacher was already dead." Yuan Xiaoyi pursed her lips and whispered: "I heard that the scene was particularly tragic. An old police officer involved in the case recalled , there was a young police officer at that time. After seeing the body, he immediately covered his mouth, ran outside the door and vomited, and it took him a long time to recover."
"Ling Chi...Senior, have you heard of it?" Yuan Xiaoyi explained with a pale face: "It is said that the scene is somewhat similar to this."
"What did the police say?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"The murder weapons were found at the scene, which were tools commonly used for sculptures. They were stained with blood. There were no signs of invasion in the entire building. The doors and windows were intact, so apart from the male teacher, there was only one security guard left in the building. Everyone suspected it was him." Yuan Xiaoyi said.
"But it turned out not to be the case in the end, right?" Jiang Cheng asked, familiar with the road.
"Yes." Yuan Xiaoyi nodded carefully, "The police took the security guard back and said they were cooperating with the investigation, but not long after, they released him."
"After that, there were rumors in the school that the male teacher was not killed by someone, but by... the sculpture in the sculpture hall!"
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, "Sculptures kill people?"
"Yes." Yuan Xiaoyi rolled her throat and continued: "It is said that there are noses and eyes. It is said that the cause is a photo taken by the police at the scene. It is not yet dawn in the background."
"But the next afternoon, the police took the photo and found the person in charge of the school's sculpture hall."
"When I came up, I asked him directly why he entered the crime scene and moved the things inside without the permission of the police."
"The person in charge was confused when asked, and quickly explained that no. Besides, the scene has been blocked by you, so even if you want to go in, you have no chance."
"The police took out two photos, and the shooting locations were the same. Then they pointed at one of the photos and asked: Where did this sculpture go? Why can't we find it even though we searched the scene?"
"It was then that the person in charge noticed that there was a statue standing in the distance in the background of one of the photos, probably in the corner."
“Because there are so many statues, it’s not very impressive at first glance.”
"But comparing the two photos, it is obvious that in the second photo from the same shooting angle, the corner is empty and there is nothing."
"The photo in which the statue appears was taken by the first police officers who arrived on the night of the incident, before dawn."
"The second photo was taken by police officers after dawn today."
"It's not hard to guess what the police officer said. He suspected that someone had secretly removed the statue while they were not paying attention. In other words, only people with evil intentions would do such a thing at such a time!"
"The person in charge shouted that he was wronged, but then he seemed to have discovered something strange and stared at the photo for a long time."
"After a long while, he raised his head and said with confusion to the police officer who came to inquire: I have never seen this statue before. This is not from their school!"
"How could the police believe such nonsense? So they called several teachers working in the art center and asked them to identify it."
"But the strange thing is that everyone said they have never seen this statue and have no impression at all!"
"Even an old woman who was in charge of cleaning said that that corner was empty and there had never been any statues. She would rest there every day when she was tired from working. It is absolutely impossible to remember it wrong."
Jiang Cheng exhaled slowly, "This statue only appeared on the night when the male teacher was killed. After dawn, it disappeared again. Is that right?"
