The handwriting at the back is getting more and more sloppy, and it also exudes a strange smell of blood. You can vaguely see the content:
Grandpa...Mom...so strange...got...treasure...sleep...
"This is the only useful clue."
Jiang Chenchuan thought back to his previous experience. After such a short period of contact, he had to find out all the information about the "relics".
"I think something is wrong with her mother. Her mental state is not good, and her behavior is not like a normal person. Perhaps Karen's wife has been mentally affected by the relics." Yulia said anxiously and worriedly, "Mr. Ivel, we We need to protect the child quickly.”
"..."
Jiang Chenchuan did not respond.
“If we don’t have enough manpower, we can apply for support from the museum.”
Yulia continued.
"..."
"Mr. Evel, what do you think... Mr. Evel... eh? What are you going to do?"
Yulia was right. After just a brief contact, she could tell that Karen's wife was mentally abnormal. Not only that, but even Karen, who was taking care of the children in the room, seemed...
Karen's expression appeared in Jiang Chenchuan's mind, with wide eyes, bloodshot eyes, slightly trembling body, and palms that didn't touch the quilt at all.
This is a sign of panic.
Why?
Why are you so scared?
Another weird train of thought came to mind.
Jiang Chenchuan turned around and left. The door was closed. He went around to the other end of the house and tested it. As he thought, most residents of Yinglan Beier didn't like to lock their windows.
This is why thefts occur frequently in places far away from the central city and where the Public Security Department's management is lax. Human nature should never be tested.
It is precisely because of such "excellent" customs that Jiang Chenchuan has many opportunities to take advantage of.
Pushing open the balcony window, she re-entered the house from the direction of the living room. Yulia followed behind, looking at Jiang Chenchuan's actions. She was a little panicked. She held an oil lamp and didn't know whether she should follow in or guard outside and ask for rescue. .
All kinds of confusing thoughts were mixed together. In the end, she chose to stay outside. Doctors should not put themselves in danger. This was the purpose of the medical department and the most considerate warning.
There was no light in the house at all, so Jiang Chenchuan could only move forward in the dark. After advancing for a certain distance, coupled with his previous impression of the furnishings in the house, he quickly adapted to the darkness.
His wife didn't seem to be on the first floor. He checked most of the rooms, but he didn't see anyone or hear anyone moving. The whole house was so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat.
At this moment——
A scream came from upstairs.
Yulia was startled, and Jiang Chenchuan rushed upstairs the moment the voice sounded.
The scream was a male voice.
Something must have happened to Karen!
I didn't expect that someone would take action after he left for such a short time. I really couldn't wait.
"哐——"
The loud sound of the door being kicked down caused the whole house to tremble slightly. The scene inside the house was truly tragic.
The walls of the room were splattered with blood, and Karen's body was split into two halves and randomly thrown in the corner of the room, enveloped by the horrible smell of blood.
The wife held up the knife towards her daughter and was about to swing it. The diamond ring on her finger, in this darkness, exuded colors like colored glass and was extremely dazzling.
And their daughter just stood there blankly, with various books piled up at her feet. There was no expression on her face splattered with blood, and she was holding a photo frame. In the photo, the white-haired old man was holding his granddaughter, showing a happy smile. .
"stop!"
Jiang Chenchuan shouted loudly.
She didn't seem to expect that he would come back, and she also locked the door. It would take time to break in after hearing the screams, so she was stunned for a moment when she waved the knife.
At this moment,
The child turned his head, looked behind Jiang Chenchuan with hollow eyes, and shouted in a childlike voice:
"grandfather."
grandfather.
These two words seemed to stimulate Karen's wife. She held her head and screamed hysterically.
But Jiang Chenchuan turned around, and he saw a darker figure standing there in the darkness behind him. From the outline, he looked like an old man.
"Go to hell! Go to hell!"
The wife yelled wildly.
That weird chill surged into his heart, making Jiang Chenchuan feel uncomfortable for a while, but unlike the time on King Street, he could clearly feel that the source of this power came from...
The wife's knife then swung down.
Jiang Chenchuan was too far away. Even if he rushed over, he would not be able to reach his crazy wife.
Tragedy is bound to happen.
sometimes,
The ending was written at the beginning.
When the tip of the knife stabbed the little girl, a black shadow flickering like particles flashed in front of the girl, as if there was a huge force competing with his wife.
He grabbed her knife-holding wrist and slowly raised it.
"Ghost! Ghost!"
Along with the crazy scream, black particles enveloped her, and her whole body maintained the posture of wielding a knife, and was slowly twisted.
"Click——"
With great efforts, the same tragedy occurred.
Fountain-like pillars of blood sprayed everywhere, like a bloody drizzle falling in the room.
The girl just looked at everything in front of her coldly, it happened like this and ended like this, without any fear.
"It's really you."
Jiang Chenchuan looked at her and said.
Just as he deduced, it was not the mother but the daughter who was eroded by the relics. The shining diamond ring rolled aside and gradually lost its light, just like the disappearance of life.
Black particles gathered around the girl, protecting her.
"I gave you a chance, Mr. Detective. It's you who wants to come back."
The little girl turned her head. There was a sin of disregard for life hidden in her calm words. It was scary to hear it. Such words would come out of the mouth of a little girl about ten years old.
"Grandpa is with you, right?"
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Chenchuan saw these scenes, he didn't have much fear. Instead, he observed them carefully, and then said in a casual conversational tone.
"grandfather?"
The little girl shook her head slightly and looked around. The blood was red, except for the darkness.
"I have read your diary. Grandpa seems to be very good to you. He tells you stories every day before going to bed... Do you like listening to stories? How about I tell you a story?"
"story?"
The little girl tilted her head, as if thinking about why he said this to herself.
"Yes, a fairy tale I heard when I was a child said that one day my mother asked Little Red Riding Hood to bring food to her grandmother. When Little Red Riding Hood was walking through the forest, she met the Big Bad Wolf. During the conversation, the Big Bad Wolf knew where Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother lived. , then, the big bad wolf ran to grandma’s house, ate her in one bite, and then pretended to be grandma, waiting for the arrival of Little Red Riding Hood at home..."
Jiang Chenchuan spoke slowly in a calm tone.
"When Little Red Riding Hood came to her grandma's house, she saw her lying on the bed and asked curiously, 'Grandma, why are your ears so big?' The big bad wolf said, 'It's to listen to you better, darling.' Little Red Riding Hood asked again, "Grandma, why are your eyes so big?" The Big Bad Wolf said, "It's to see you better, dear." Little Red Riding Hood still felt strange and continued to ask, "Grandma, why are your hands so big?" "It's so big", the big bad wolf said, "It's so I can hold you better, dear". Little Red Riding Hood finally asked, "Grandma, why is your mouth so big?", the big bad wolf said, "It's so I can bite you in one bite." Eat it!', after saying that, the big bad wolf jumped up from the bed..."
"Then what?"
The little girl listened very carefully, and at the pause, she eagerly asked for follow-up questions.
Jiang Chenchuan slowly approached the little girl, squatted down in front of her, and said softly:
"Then... after the big bad wolf finished speaking, he jumped up from the bed, ready to devour Little Red Riding Hood... As a result, Little Red Riding Hood took out a shotgun from under his red cloak and shot the big bad wolf directly."
