"I understand, please contact me if you have other matters. I will reply to Officer Zhou's message first."
"Huh? Oh, oh..."
Zhang Shanshan on the other end of the phone said hesitantly.
Hanging up the phone, he opened the note and read the message from Zhou Yong.
The messages are displayed as 99 plus, but in fact only the top few are of practical value, and the rest are all meaningless spaces and periods.
"..."
"It's his style."
Scroll to the top of the message, and what comes into view is a photo. There is no scary or bloody scene in the content, just a crumpled piece of paper with a few lines of crooked writing on it.
"I can't wait until dawn. Doctor Su, she didn't appear again in my sleep just now, which shows that your hypnotherapy is very effective.
But it was too late, my name had long been written on the funeral list, and only now did I understand that this curse would not stop once it started, and she wanted more people to hear the cry.
Once a name appears on the list, it is certain to die unless it ends before the curse resolves. And I - and I was already too late, I had become a cold corpse, dead when I first stepped into that world, but I never wanted to believe it.
You can’t escape either, Doctor Su~ because the next one is you..."
The text of the last sentence is so distorted that it is almost indistinguishable, as if the writer was suffering some great pain at the time.
It's a bit like two consciousnesses in a body fighting for control.
Close the picture and continue to slide down the information.
The meaning in the text is that if you have time today, you'd better go to the site.
"Well - it seems I really have to go today."
After making up his mind, Su Xing immediately changed his clothes, washed briefly and then went out on a small electric donkey.
…
This was the first time that Su Xing went to where Lin Lu lived, but his assistant Shanshan had already sent the specific address.
It was raining lightly in the sky. The clouds in the sky were not heavy, but they could cover the sun just right.
The weather in this season is changeable, and the light rain may turn into a heavy rain at the next moment.
Su Xing stood on the stone road of the destination community, looking up at the tenth floor of the building in front of him.
That was the room where Lin Lu lived, but the cordon surrounding the building downstairs was not directly under his balcony.
"Looking at the position, it looks like he jumped from the corridor window."
If it was suicide, why did you go all the way to the corridor to jump?
Maybe he was controlled by Weirdness, and then accidentally fell from the window in the corridor while fighting for control of his body?
The idea is a little crazy.
However, this hypothesis can explain why the note left by Lin Lu before his death had two different handwritings.
"There's no point in guessing. Maybe we should call out the surveillance and analyze it."
Withdrawing his gaze, he walked into the unit door in front of him.
"Ahem!"
The coughing that was deliberately aggravated activated the voice-activated lights in the corridor. The yellow lights dispersed the darkness and created a clear safe zone.
Perhaps because it was still early, no one else was using the elevator.
After pressing the button, the elevator dinged and opened the door.
Just when I woke up and was about to step in, the voice-activated light on the top and the lights in the elevator flickered and went out completely.
"Ahem!"
He coughed hard again, but no light came on.
His eyes returned to the inside of the elevator, where he was reflected on the smooth metal wall, but the reflection seemed a bit ferocious.
In a daze, my brain was giving instructions to walk in uncontrollably.
But fortunately, this thought was short-lived and weak.
Something is wrong, no, something is simply wrong!
The scene was a little weird, it wasn't like some kind of hallucination due to fatigue.
"No, it's almost dawn, are you really just staring at me?"
Su Xing complained with a look of disgust.
In just the blink of an eye, the scene in the reflection changed. Originally there was only his own image, but there was an additional person.
The extra person was Lin Lu who had committed suicide.
He was saying something with pain on his face, but the person behind him choked him.
Lin Lu struggled with all his strength, but his limbs became weaker and weaker until he lost his voice and was pushed down again.
This scene...is the scene before Lin Lu died?
Seeing only his own reflection on the elevator wall, Su Xing's brain felt a little short-circuited.
What does it mean? There is no way to explain that I killed him.
Could it be that this is a strange inducement?
I didn't understand what was going on, but it was definitely not a good thing. Based on the principle that I couldn't suffer any loss, I just threw a middle finger at him.
Tap tap tap tap.
There was a sound from the stairs of the safe passage, and the sound of hurried footsteps lit up the voice-activated lights again, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
At the top of the stairs, a young man in police uniform came out, holding a mobile phone as if calling someone.
"Who lives in the big pineapple in the deep sea~SpongeBob~Spongebob..."
The cheerful music instantly broke the atmosphere of terror that had been brewing for a long time.
The phone in Su Xing's pocket rang at the right time, causing the two of them to freeze in place for a moment as they looked at each other.
"..."
"..."
"Uh... what about that, Brother Su, why did you come so fast? I thought you were on the way and I was thinking about asking you to bring me something."
The young man in police uniform is Zhou Yong. He is a high school classmate with me, one year below him, but he admires him so much that he even went to the police academy next door to get into college.
"Can I not come sooner? You are my patient after all."
While talking, Su Xing turned to look at the elevator and found that his clear reflection was gone.
Under the light, everything reflected from the metal walls was blurry.
"Brother Su, what are you doing standing here? The elevator is broken."
Zhou Yong took back his cell phone and ended the inappropriate ringtone.
"broken?"
Su Xing made a confused sound.
"Yeah, it was broken when we came here. I remember there was a warning sign."
Zhou Yong stepped forward and tried to point out the location of the warning sign, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
"Eh? Where is the sign? Some unscrupulous person took it away! And how can this broken elevator work? If someone walks in without knowing the situation and something happens, who will be responsible? It's just nonsense."
Zhou Yong, who has always had a strong sense of justice, immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and started contacting his colleagues.
"Brother Su, you're lucky that I came down in time, otherwise you wouldn't have been safe when you entered the elevator and something would have happened."
"..."
"It's better to talk to me about the business first."
Su Xing got rid of all the other party's gossip with just one sentence.
When it came to business, Zhou Yong's expression suddenly became serious, and he pointed to the stairs to indicate that he was walking and talking.
"It was about three o'clock in the morning, almost four o'clock in the morning, when we received a report that someone committed suicide by jumping off the building. We rushed there as soon as possible, but when we arrived at the scene, he had no vital signs. We looked at the deceased He happened to have been to your clinic yesterday..."
Su Xing nodded slightly to express his understanding.
"Well, I understand, the process still has to go through."
Hearing this, Zhou Yong quickly waved his hand.
"Brother Su, don't get me wrong. What we mean here is that you were the last person the deceased came into contact with, and you are an expert in psychology. So I just want to ask you whether he showed signs of suicide when he was in your clinic. Such tendencies? Or can you determine whether he has some definite mental illness?
Although all the evidence now shows that he committed suicide, we still need to know more to rule out the possibility of homicide. "
Su Xing was silent for a moment. No one would believe it if he said it was weird. And even if the person in front of him believed it, he couldn't use this excuse to explain to the outside world.
so……
"We only talked for half the afternoon. He made an appointment for me to come here today, but he didn't expect...
But to be honest, as far as I know, Lin Lu did show signs of self-mutilation, but he should not have committed suicide. The initial conclusion I gave was that it was schizophrenia, but it was only half an afternoon, so I couldn't be completely sure.
Maybe you can check his medical records. He must have been checked in other hospitals. You should have checked it, right? What are other doctors saying? "
Su Xing's deep tone sounded like an old policeman guiding a newcomer, which made Zhou Yong stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Yes, I asked two of them, and they almost said the same thing."
"Oh, by the way, what does that photo you sent me mean?"
Su Xing suddenly thought of something and asked again.
Speaking of the note in the photo, Zhou Yong's expression changed and he did not answer directly.
"You'd better go up and see for yourself before talking about this."
