"What does it mean to call it suicide? Suicide is suicide. If he kills him, we will definitely investigate to the end!"
Zhou Yong, who had a strong sense of justice, shouted loudly.
The fat man on the chair was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, for fear that the two young men in front of him would arrest him as a suspect.
"Comrade police, what you said is right. If someone really harmed him, he should be investigated to the end and no bad guy should be spared. But... what if I say that the person who harmed him was not a living person?"
The man was very plain and even sounded kind, but the content of what he said gave people a creepy feeling.
Su Xing also knew very well in his heart that Lin Lu's death was definitely not a simple suicide. What harmed him was definitely something from that world.
It was her who killed me, but she was not the only one...
In the video just now, Su Xing saw clearly that what directly led to Lin Lu's death was the strange, skinny "monkey" lying on his back on the last night. What is that thing? Chen Xin, who sent out invitations everywhere to invite people to attend funerals, at least had a name through which the authorities could find out her identity during her lifetime.
But this thing... I know nothing about it so far.
"It seems like you know something. Can you tell us about it?"
Finally, Su Xing asked about the real purpose of this trip.
If you ask directly, the other party may deny it vigilantly. When the time comes, they will kill you without knowing it, which will be a bit troublesome.
Su Xing casually pulled a chair aside and sat down, as if he was listening attentively.
"You young people are not afraid of anything, and that boy Lin Lu was the same way at that time."
"What are you talking about? If you're afraid, I won't wear these clothes."
Zhou Yong followed suit and moved a chair over. As he spoke, he took out his notebook and started recording formally.
The middle-aged man pursed his dry lips, hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"I know you are all brave and don't believe that there are dirty things in this world. The same goes for that guy from Lin Lu. When he was chatting with me, he said that this is what he eats. He moved here because he heard someone said that there are dirty things in this community. That kind of thing, he needs these things to give him inspiration.
In fact, it would be fine if he just lived here, but he took the initiative to provoke them. He tried to find tiny clues and clear away the fog to restore the truth of everything.
If I remember correctly, it has been more than a year since he moved to this community. Although I don't know him very well, we would always smoke cigarettes and chat for a while when we met. He is not very outgoing, but at least I didn't notice it. Have mental problems. "
"Until that night a week ago. I happened to be on patrol that night, and I saw him coming back from outside. What was different from usual was that there was a girl behind him. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt like she was in her early twenties.
I thought that guy had realized his idea and brought his girlfriend back, but when I got closer, I realized that he was alone, and there was no girl behind him.
I just thought it was a dazzle, and he seemed to be in a bad mood at the time. He left without even smoking a cigarette and chatting for a few words.
When he walked away and entered the unit building, I vaguely saw the girl in a dark red dress following him..."
"Then what?"
The words stopped abruptly, Su Xing frowned slightly and urged.
The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile.
"It was precisely because Lin Lu caused strange things outside that the thing in the community had an opportunity to take advantage of it. But that thing only accelerated his death.
I can tell that even without the weird girl in the community, Lin Lu would have been killed by the weird girl.
It's like it's destined, once you're chosen, you can't escape. "
The voice paused, and Su Xing continued to ask with a slight frown.
"The dirty things in the community? I heard that many people died inexplicably in this community. Can you elaborate."
Although Su Xing was asking, his tone was unquestionable, giving the impression that he would not give up until he answered properly.
Only then did the fat man realize that after going around and around for so long, what the other party wanted to know the most was this.
He was originally prepared to refuse to talk about this matter, but the topic has already reached this point, and he has made up his mind to resign after this month...
What the hell, just say it, I'm just a part-time worker, there's nothing I can't say to my comrades in the police.
The fat man moved his body, found a comfortable position on the chair and continued to speak.
"I heard that that thing was already there when the community was built. I haven't heard how it came about. Some people guessed that when this land was demolished, some nail households died here. Some people also guessed that it was during the construction. When the building couldn't be built, people used living people as human pillars...
I've heard many theories, and I don't know which one is true. Maybe that thing was here very early, just like an earthbound spirit. "
Zhou Yong, who was recording on the side, tapped the penholder and raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Don't say these are not worthwhile, just focus on the key points."
The man coughed lightly and continued to speak.
"Lin Lu is certainly not the first person to commit suicide in the community. The earliest one I know of was about five or six years ago. A man in his thirties who was a salesman jumped from the roof of the building, and another Woman, she drowned accidentally in the pond...
They all died in accidents or suicides. No one threatened them, and there was no evidence to show that it was homicide.
But they all have one thing in common before they die, that is, they have symptoms of sleepwalking. During the day, they seem to have lost their souls and have no energy. If you talk to them a few more words, they may become inexplicably angry and even take action. Hit someone or themselves.
When chatting with them, what they said the most was that they dreamed of someone talking in their ear at night, saying that they wanted to divide their body into half...
First he talked in his sleep, then he sleepwalked, and finally died of suicide or accident in the dead of night.
Others say they have mental problems, but I don't think so. They are caught up in that kind of thing. "
The more he recorded it, the more bizarre it became. Zhou Yong felt that if he took this record up, he would probably be scolded.
But as bizarre as it is, shouldn’t this kind of thing be reported to the police as soon as possible? Why haven't I seen anyone take the initiative to mention it, and there is even an attitude of deliberately avoiding talking about it.
"Why didn't you say something like this earlier? Are you afraid?"
The fat man paused, then a wry smile appeared on his lips.
"Yes, I'm afraid, everyone is afraid. But in the final analysis, with so many people in the community, the few who died accidentally don't account for a big proportion. It's just considered that there are old people in the family who died naturally, and no one will think so. The next unlucky person will be himself. No one thinks that he will be the one with weak willpower and will be entangled in strange things.
We keep silent about their deaths because no one wants their money to evaporate because of this incident. "
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yong asked in a low voice.
"Because if this kind of strange thing spreads, the housing prices here will fall. So everyone believes that those who died had mental illness and just happened to live here."
Su Xing's eyes narrowed slightly. When the other party was speaking just now, he had been paying attention to the subtle changes in his tone and small movements from time to time.
According to my own judgment, it doesn't look like I'm lying, but...
Seeing the middle-aged man counting beads all the time, Su Xing asked aloud, "You seem very uneasy."
Seeing that he was poked, the man stopped hiding and tucking.
"I'm scared, comrade police! Although Lin Lu apparently committed suicide, I know he was killed by something strange! If he turns into that kind of thing, he will definitely come back tonight."
"It's not you who hurt him, what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Yong saw that the other party was getting more and more outrageous, so he couldn't help but speak out.
"It has nothing to do with whether he has been harmed or not. The old people say that the first thing after Wei comes back is to find his enemies or his relatives. He will definitely not be able to find his enemies, but in this community, Lin and I Lu usually talks the most, and I’m afraid he’ll come back to find me!
If he dies unwillingly and with a grudge, wouldn't I become his first target?
It is said that Weiyi likes those who are timid and scared to death. If Weiyi wants to see something, you will see it. If Weiyi wants you to die, you will not survive.
Don't look at me because I'm big and round. In fact, I have been very timid since I was a child. If I really encounter that thing, I don't need anyone to scare me. I have to take my life. "
Zhou Yong on the side felt more and more outrageous as he listened. Feeling that it was a waste of time to talk about this topic, he began to go aside and contact his colleagues to copy the video about Lin Lu.
Zhou Yong didn't pay much attention, but Su Xing listened to every word.
Considering what happened to me early this morning, what this uncle said does seem to be somewhat reasonable.
"If you put it that way, if you are so cowardly, wouldn't you be dead if you encounter something strange?" Su Xing said again.
The man smiled awkwardly.
"Everyone has something to be afraid of, right? I'm just a little more afraid than ordinary people."
"Based on my inference, you are a little too sensitive. I think you need the counseling of a psychiatrist."
Su Xing laughed twice, then stood up and stood behind the man, and spoke again.
"What time is it now?"
The man subconsciously raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
"Well, it's six-thirty-one now. Comrade police, if nothing happens..."
"Shh-"
Su Xing pushed the opponent's big head back again.
"Don't look back, look at your watch. By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet?"
"Xiafu."
Su Xing reached out and held the other person's arm wearing the watch, forcing the watch on his wrist to look more conspicuous.
"Keep your eyes on the second hand."
The middle-aged man named Xia Fu didn't know what this young man was up to, but he still obeyed him.
His eyes were focused on the ticking second hand, and the complicated thoughts in his mind gradually dispersed.
"Mr. Xia Fu, there are no weird things in this world? They are just made up by people on the Internet to deceive people. What you see are just coincidences. Remember, there are no weird things in this world, and you don't need to be afraid of them...
You should think now about how fragrant the fried chicken in the store is, whether there will be any surprises in the takeout rice bowl today, and whether you should buy a cup of milk tea once in a while?
So - Mr. Xiafu, please look at your watch carefully now, and tell me, what time is it now? "
The man's expression gradually relaxed, and his eyes lost focus.
After pausing for a few seconds, he murmured.
"It's breakfast time now."
After finishing speaking, he looked around as if waking up from a dream, and then stood up from the chair.
The expression on his face was a little excited.
"Hey~ I'm surprised, why do I feel less panic now? I feel a lot more relaxed. But... I feel like I can't remember what I said before?"
Su Xing patted the other party's shoulder.
"It doesn't matter. If you can't think of it, don't think about it. You're just thinking too much. Just chat with your colleagues if you have nothing to do. It's easy to think too much when you're alone and don't play with your phone to empty your head."
Xia Fu laughed twice.
Su Xing also laughed.
