As mentioned above, witnessing the sudden appearance of a group of acquaintances, Jamie was momentarily frozen in silence, and the blond young man fell into astonishment. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of Inspector Jim, it seemed to be the instinctive guilty reaction of a suspect when he saw the police investigating, and he always regarded Detective Jim, whom he regarded as a key suspect, also didn't care about the other party's reaction. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, before Jamie could say anything, Detective Jim, who had driven here specially to find evidence of the youth's crime, smiled and raised his hand. , greeted Jamie opposite who was holding a phone and looking up, and teased the blond young man in a tone that looked at the criminals completely. Whether it was body movements or facial expressions, everything was exactly the same as when he was in the police station.
Suspicion is a seed. Once suspicion arises, the consequences will often intensify and become uncontrollable. Through the movie, the audience can clearly see that Detective Jim is an excellent police detective. Although his character is worrying and his behavior is inelegant, it is undeniable that he is dedicated to his duties. , not only has rich experience in handling cases, but also has his own set of logical concepts for solving cases, such as collecting evidence, and then focusing the investigation on the relatives of the deceased first.
The reason for such investigation comes precisely from past experience in handling cases. To give a simple example, if you are a criminal investigation police officer, when you search the crime scene, you do not find a single key clue, but the reporter and the first witness are both. Husband of the deceased, if it were you, would you doubt the husband of the deceased?
The answer is yes, it is inevitable. In addition, he has taken over similar cases in the past. To sum up, Inspector Jim seriously doubts Jamie. Even if there is no evidence, it still does not prevent Inspector Jim from doubting this person, or that he The reason why he was willing to drive and follow Jamie to his hometown of Ravenel this time was to find evidence of Jamie's murder. Once the evidence was obtained, he would definitely arrest the other party and personally send the villain who murdered his wife to prison. prison.
"Hey Jamie, long time no see!"
(Fuck Squid! It’s that bastard mustache again, and he actually followed you here!)
Inspector Jim had always suspected that he was a suspect, and Jamie knew about it. The result was undoubted. Seeing the other party smiling and hearing the other party making fun of him, he suddenly came to his senses. The young man's expression immediately darkened, because he had a very strong impression of Jim. Damn, how could Jamie respond to the man’s so-called greeting? Instead, he cursed in his mind and responded with silence.
Seeing the young man's reaction, Inspector Jim didn't mind. On the contrary, He Fei's eyes flashed. He first quickly glanced at the scene in the living room, and then started performing. After basically confirming that there was no danger in the scene, he turned to look down at him and panted. Chen Xiaoyao kept asking: "By the way, Father Chen, you said that you were trying to prevent the evil spirits from harming your friends before, which caused you to collapse from exhaustion, right? After hearing what you said, I am more interested in the two friends you mentioned. Very interested, where are they now?"
The tour gradually led to the topic, and gradually brought the topic to the focus of the incident without violating the rules. Regarding this, He Fei's intention was obvious, and Chen Xiaoyao also knew it well. As expected, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, Chen Xiaoyao understood it and immediately reluctantly He raised his head and responded, but...
Before that, there are some additional things to mention, such as where has He Fei been recently? For example, how did Fei Fei and Inspector Jim stay together with Chen Xiaoyao? Another example is how the two parties met, how they got to know each other, etc. Many problems seem complicated, but in fact the explanation is not complicated. The key lies in four words, that is, chance and coincidence.
………
Ninety-eight times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and some hidden secrets cannot be explained to outsiders.
He Fei felt that he had been feeling aggrieved and helpless recently. Although he had performed many supernatural missions of various types, this was actually his first time experiencing such an aggrieved mission. This was called the "Sorrow of Death". The superior mission refreshed his knowledge for the first time. He didn’t expect that the curse could be played like this. He didn’t expect that one day the executor would be designed to have such a supernatural mission that was equivalent to filming a movie. First, the executor would be given an identity, and then the executor would be required to be in the role. Speak and act within the framework. If you make a wrong step, you will be directly deducted points, and you will perform the entire task during the mission.
If the above has made the executor extremely uncomfortable, then what is even more uncomfortable and even frightening is that there is a wolf in the mission world. There is a female wolf who is always trying to kill Jamie and is watching nearby. Once Jamie dies, the executors will be wiped out collectively!
This is completely a trick. Due to the restrictions of his identity, the executor is already very timid and scrupulous. As a result, he must also be extra concerned about Jamie's safety while looking for a way out. And He Fei is currently in this unspeakable uncomfortable state. , he has to worry about his own safety all the time and risk his life to find a way out. While looking for a way out, he also has to worry about Jamie. Do you think this is the end? No, it's not that easy. In addition to worrying about the above points, he still has to play the role honestly. While playing the role, he will investigate clues and collect information within the rules allowed by the role. If he is not careful, he will be detained. point.
(Grass!)
Since He Fei is Detective Jim's assistant, like other enforcers, He Fei, who is limited by his identity, can only stay with Detective Jim. During the two days since the two entered the town, He Fei He spent most of his time with Detective Jim investigating and collecting evidence of Jamie's crime. Of course He Fei knew that Jamie was innocent, but due to the rules, he could only bite the bullet and keep silent, and was forced to accompany Detective Jim to do that. It was meaningless. He Fei, who was eager to get involved in the plot, also hinted at the puppet issue to his mustachioed boss. Unfortunately, Inspector Jim did not take it as a priority at first, until a few hours ago. , when there was really nothing to find out, Inspector Jim reluctantly followed He Fei's wishes and turned his attention to the puppet, the puppet that Jamie had always brought with him.
As expected by He Fei, as Inspector Jim targeted the doll, the subsequent plot development was indeed on track, and he began to secretly monitor Jamie just like in the original movie.
Through surveillance, the two discovered that Jamie drove to the cemetery at night. They did not follow him at first until he returned after finishing his work. Upon seeing this, Detective Jim thought that the time had come, so he led He Fei to the cemetery. After searching, the two Sure enough, a doll was found near an abandoned tombstone with Mary Shaw's name engraved on it. The doll was none other than the Billy doll that Jamie, Zhao Ping and Chen Xiaoyao had deliberately buried not long ago. Seeing this, they threw it away first. Not to mention Detective Jim who initially concluded that Jamie was trying to bury the evidence, He Fei was the only one with a clear mind and instantly judged from the scene that Zhao Ping could not defeat Jamie. This was a helpless act when he was unable to stop Jamie's behavior. He had no choice but to Adventure, adventure and accompanying Jamie to the cemetery to bury the doll. The whole process is very similar to the original movie, except...
Although the doll has been found, why was it not buried in a pit like in the movie? Instead, it was randomly dumped near Mary Shaw's grave? With some suspicion, the college student began to look around and observe. Inadvertently, he discovered something and found a pool of blood in front of Mary Xiao's tombstone.
(Could it be...)
The moment he saw the blood stains, He Fei was shocked. Relying on analysis and reasoning, he quickly came up with an answer that was very close to the truth, that is... It wasn't that Jamie didn't want to bury the doll, but it was very likely that something happened during the burial process. An accident. As for the so-called accident, it was most likely caused by a female locust attack. Otherwise, how could we explain this pool of blood? Perhaps the only thing that He Fei is not sure about is who is the owner of the blood?
The more He Fei watched, the more frightened he became. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He wanted to rush to the hotel immediately to check the current situation. Fortunately, the inertia of the plot helped him a lot. Sure enough, seeing the puppet in hand, Inspector Jim continued to act, taking the puppet with him as in the original plot. Driving back, he rushed straight to the hotel where Jamie was staying. He thought that the journey would be smooth and he would be there in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened on the way home, and something unexpected happened to He Fei...
Under the cover of night, when the car had traveled about half the way, He Fei noticed something through the car window. He found Chen Xiaoyao, dressed as a priest, sitting panting and paralyzed in the middle of the road!
Under He Fei's strong request, Inspector Jim, who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, had no choice but to stop the car and act as a benefactor and let the Asian priest get in the car. He looked unhappy in the process. It was obvious that, at least in Inspector Jim's opinion, he So he was willing to let the man in front of him dressed as a bad guy get on the bus just to give his subordinates face, otherwise he would be too lazy to let a guy who wandered around for no reason in the middle of the night take the bus. Inspector Jim thought so, but He Fei obviously didn't think so. Chen Xiaoyao also didn't think that he was just wandering around in boredom. As soon as they met in the car, the two of them looked at each other in surprise. Neither of them expected to meet under such circumstances. Of course, although they were already very familiar with each other, due to the Due to their status restrictions, the two of them introduced themselves politely and with smiles as if they were meeting for the first time. It was not until after a formal polite introduction that the two of them got to know each other.
The so-called blessing is a blessing in disguise. Many things have pros and cons. Although his identity restricts his freedom and personal expression, his status as a police officer still brings some benefits to He Fei. For example, he can use various official excuses to He interrogated others to get clues. Not to mention, He Fei adapted very quickly. In addition, he was already anxious. As soon as they met, He Fei interrogated Chen Xiaoyao as a police officer, trying to understand what happened from the other party, but he also knew it well. Naturally, Chen Xiaoyao also narrated the incident to He Fei as a priest. Taking advantage of his identity as a priest who could talk about spirits without being penalized, he talked about the monsters and not only truthfully reported the attack on Zhao Ping in the cemetery. , and even revealed in the conversation from Zhao Ping's perspective that Peng Hu was currently injured and hospitalized.
Just like He Fei knows most of the senior members of the team, Chen Xiaoyao also knows He Fei. He knows that college students are looking for a way out, and the more so, the more important the other party's clues are. Although it is difficult to explain clearly due to his identity, it actually doesn't matter. He believes that with the other party Wisdom is enough to clear your mind and figure everything out in a short time.
Sure enough, Chen Xiaoyao guessed it right, He Fei figured it out, and was even quicker than expected. After learning the whole story from 'Father Chen' and what happened to Peng Hu, 'Officer He' frowned and fell into confusion. He was deep in thought, occasionally raising his hand to touch his chin. In the eyes of others, He Fei seemed to be behaving strangely, but Chen Xiaoyao knew what the other person was doing. That was a habit, a personal habit of the team captain in front of him, and it belonged to him whenever he thought deeply about a problem. Will make subconscious actions involuntarily. .
As for Inspector Jim…
The detective chose to ignore and disdain. Just like in the movie, he never believed in the theory of the god of hay. Inspector Jim here still did the same. Even though he had already learned about the existence of hay from the conversation between Chen Xiaoyao and He Fei while driving, he could still The middle-aged man still sneers at this, always treating Chen Xiaoyao's theory of the God of God as the nonsense of a magician, and is still skeptical about the fact that the lawyer surnamed Zhao, who once had a relationship with him, was attacked by a God. He has a disdainful attitude. In his opinion, evil spirits and other things are all nonsense, and why the lawyer he has hated for a long time is injured has nothing to do with him. After all, the purpose of his coming to the town this time is just for investigation. Jamie, yes, he only pays attention to Jamie, as for the others? Sorry, as long as it has nothing to do with the case currently under investigation, he won't care. You must know that detectives are very tiring to solve cases. They have to keep a close eye on the suspects and also investigate and collect evidence. Just following Jamie is tiring enough, but he doesn't. Use the extra energy to investigate those ethereal and supernatural ghosts.
The scene returns to the hotel, and the view returns to the guest room.
"By the way, Father Chen, you said that you were trying to prevent evil spirits from harming your friends before, which caused you to collapse from exhaustion, right? After hearing what you said, I am very interested in the two friends you mentioned. They are now where?"
Seeing that his boss ignored no one after entering the room and directly targeted Jamie, He Fei quickly formulated a strategy. He did not intend to interfere with the plot or participate in the subsequent conversation between Inspector Jim and Jamie, so it was natural. , while the two plot characters were talking to each other, He Fei found the opportunity to strike decisively, giving a hint on the grounds that he was interested in supernatural events, hinting at the priest surnamed Chen next to him who had not recovered from his long-term weakness.
Understanding that quickness is a standard characteristic of smart people, Chen Xiaoyao noticed that there was something in the other person's words. Chen Xiaoyao immediately understood He Fei's intention. He ignored the breath and nodded in response to the other person's question: "Oh? Officer He is very interested in this matter." Are you interested? Well, if nothing goes wrong, I think Lawyer Zhao’s beautiful nurse should be in the bedroom right now, right? Is that right, Jamie? "
"Well, they are indeed inside."
After getting Jamie's nod of confirmation, He Fei, knowing full well that Jamie would have a quarrel with Inspector Jim like in the original plot, acted decisively and helped Chen Xiaoyao towards the bedroom.
………
Pushing open the door and entering the bedroom, He Fei saw two acquaintances.
He saw Cheng Ying, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and Zhao Ping, who was lying unconscious in bed, but...
The atmosphere was extremely weird, so weird. When they stepped into the room, except for the man with glasses who was unconscious due to injury and unable to speak, the remaining three people were also silent. They just remained silent for a while, staring at each other with big eyes.
The reason is very simple. It’s not that the three of them don’t want to talk, but that they don’t know what to say due to their identity restrictions. Due to various identities, many things that can be simple, clear and outspoken can no longer be said. Their respective identities conform to the logic of reasons.
Yes, He Fei's identity is currently a police officer, Chen Xiaoyao's identity is a priest, Cheng Ying's identity is a nurse, and Zhao Ping's identity is a lawyer and Jamie's friend. Among them, He Fei does not know Cheng Ying, and Cheng Ying also Although Chen Xiaoyao barely knew He Fei, he and Cheng Ying still couldn't call each other by name. The result can be imagined. Due to the different identities of several people, it was difficult for anyone to meet each other unexpectedly. Open your mouth to communicate with each other. After all, points will be deducted if you are not careful. There is no harm in being cautious.
But then again, rules are dead and people are alive. Even if there are identity restrictions, it is still not difficult for everyone present. You must know that everyone present is experienced and experienced, and they have been familiar with each other for a long time. To understand each other, there is no need to rely on language to communicate in many cases. Even some topics that must be discussed can still be conveyed under the skillful performance of a few people, so as to exchange information in compliance with the rules. Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Chen Xiaoyao The leader took the initiative to speak, facing Cheng Ying and taking the initiative to introduce himself, and then introduced He Fei next to him. As usual, after a brief self-introduction to each other, several executors who had just met were soon there. Fei, a police officer who is very interested in supernatural things, spoke one after another after questioning, each recounting their recent experiences.
"Oh? It turns out that Nurse Cheng works in a small town clinic. So, under your treatment and examination, Lawyer Zhao should be fine now, right? And Father Chen, through your earlier experience, you mean... That evil spirit has the ability to delay people’s movements?”
Finally, after going through ups and downs, An Nai was anxious, and after accompanying Detective Jim on a two-day boring investigation, He Fei officially intervened in the incident and officially participated in the terrifying theme of "Dead Silence". Subsequently, he gained a lot of According to the clues, Chen and Cheng learned that Peng Hu was seriously injured and that Zhao Ping was attacked. Finally, the female locust did have a terrible ability. As long as she was close to the female locust, she would be very likely to be hit. He Fei had personally experienced this ability. The pressure on his body, as if he suddenly put on a heavy helmet, was no different from waiting to die. It was as terrifying as if he had taken out props specifically to prevent the executioner. In the end, if the target of the female wolf hadn't been him, He Fei would have become the first executioner of death, the first unlucky victim to die at the beginning.
It was precisely because of his personal experience that the college student was so surprised. He was both surprised that Peng Hu and Zhao Ping were lucky enough to survive, and he was also shocked by Chen Xiaoyao's profound Taoism. Who would have thought that this guy could actually escape due to the speed delay of Nu Qi? Even if he borrowed the Tiger Talisman, actually being able to escape alive was already a big deal. After all, He Fei knew how to put himself in someone else's shoes. He asked himself whether he had the ability to escape successfully. .
Since the above matters were personally experienced by Cheng and Chen, they actually happened. Therefore, when the two told He Fei about their respective experiences, it naturally did not violate the rules. In this way, many things can be discussed later. Following the trend of communication, after a short conversation between the three of them, He Fei has basically learned everything they know. Unfortunately, the above are still not the highest value clues. Zhao Ping, the only one who may have important clues, is now unconscious and unable to communicate. .
Needless to say, as the executor who accompanies the protagonist Jamie throughout the whole process, Zhao Ping must know a lot without even thinking about it. Jamie has experienced the same thing as Zhao Ping, and Jamie has seen the same thing as Zhao Ping. Not only that, with the bespectacled man's extraordinary intelligence and scheming skills, it is really possible to analyze important clues. Yes, in He Fei's eyes, Zhao Pingping has the same information database, and one has evolved due to his long-term following of Jamie. The other party must know a lot about the humanoid information database, at least more than Cheng Ying, a clinic nurse, and Chen Xiaoyao, a church priest.
But the problem is...
He glanced at the bed next to him and glanced at the sleeping man. He Fei, who hadn't collected much valuable information, couldn't help but sigh. He's sigh was self-evident. In fact, not only He Fei, but also Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao beside him. After looking at each other, they both guessed what they were thinking, and they guessed He Fei was helpless. Yes, although Zhao Ping is a lawyer, don't forget that his other identity is Jamie's friend. If most of the other executors are If the identity restriction is forced to spread across the town and prevent him from contacting Jamie, then the man with glasses is the only enforcer among all the people who can not only follow and protect Jamie for a long time, but also get to know the truth through following him!
To put it simply, it can be understood that when the three of them are in different places due to their respective identity restrictions, Zhao Ping, who has been following the protagonist, must be able to obtain much more intelligence clues. It can even be said that Zhao Ping has been there since he entered the town. Like Jamie, he has always viewed experiences from the perspective of the protagonist.
(The information is still insufficient, damn it, it would be great if Zhao Ping was awake...)
Observing the details, looking carefully, at this moment, witnessing He Fei's tangled expression, staring at the other person and clenching his teeth, somehow, Chen Xiaoyao fell into hesitation and got entangled, changing his eyes for seemingly no reason, and occasionally looked in front of him He Fei occasionally glanced at Zhao Ping on the bed. He seemed to notice something from He Fei's complicated expression. Then, the young Taoist priest hesitated and began to get entangled, as if he was emphatically evaluating whether to do something or not. His expression was complicated. . .
The silence lasted for a moment, the observation lasted for a long time, and then...
"call."
With a long breath, Chen Xiaoyao raised his hand to lift the bangs on his forehead and made a decision. He suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, broke the silence, and said something to He Fei in a pointing tone: "Officer He, It seems that besides me, Nurse Cheng, you also want to get something from Lawyer Zhao. Well, since you say you are a theist and you are very interested in evil spirits killing people, then, I There is a way to make Lawyer Zhao wake up early."
What?
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. As soon as Chen Xiaoyao said this, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed. In the room, Cheng Ying looked at He Fei, and He Fei looked at Cheng Ying. The two first looked at each other, and then looked sideways forward. Their eyes were locked, and they both stared at Chen Xiaoyao. Of course, although the two of them were shocked, they were only slightly surprised. The reason was that both of them knew who Chen Xiaoyao was and what his occupation was in the real world. Even if Now that they are wearing the priest's skin, the skin is actually just a skin. The only thing that makes the two of them curious is...
How does this guy plan to make the man with glasses wake up early?
