The detective's words were serious and full of sarcasm. Unexpectedly, his probing inquiry full of sarcasm was directly recognized by Jamie! As soon as the man finished speaking, Jamie came closer with emotion, walked up to the detective, nodded in approval: "Yes, that's right, it was Mary Shaw's ghost that did it! I've even seen it with my own eyes in the cemetery before. !”
Ignoring Jamie's excitement and seriousness, curling his lips, Inspector Jim shrugged and replied: "Unfortunately, I don't believe a word of what you said."
"You bastard!"
Finally, faced with the man's disbelief and listening to the other man's ridicule, his anger reached its peak. Unbearable, Jamie exploded in an instant. After swearing, he reached out and grabbed the other man by the collar. While being excited and vomiting fragrance, as for Inspector Jim...
Sure enough, when he saw that the young man seemed to be about to take action, he immediately got up and felt bad. He first shook and dragged Jamie hard, then stepped back and stretched out his hand to warn: "Hey, hey, hey! Jamie, calm down! Don't act rashly, I don't want to An additional charge of assaulting a police officer will be added to your crime list!"
As a side note, after being a police investigator for so many years, Inspector Jim is indeed very experienced. Not only has he taken over many different types of cases, but he also has a unique method for solving cases. It is no exaggeration to say that whenever he takes over There are almost no cases that cannot be solved, but the case he took over recently is really weird and even unusual. According to the previous investigation methods, nothing was found? There is no reason for this? Now that several days have passed, at the very least, we should find some clues, but what is the result? The result was that there was nothing. Even though he visited, inquired and followed, he still had not found any valuable clues that would help the progress of the case. Except for Jamie, who although he had serious personal doubts, he could not arrest him because he had no evidence, no one else No suspicion.
He does not deny that he has been investigating the key suspect Jamie, nor does he deny that Jamie's recent behavior is indeed weird and worthy of investigation. However, the weird thing is... whether he was in the police station or in the police station now. Town, the young man in front of him frequently emphasized that the ghost was responsible, always thinking that it was the ghost that killed his wife! ?
Of course he wouldn't believe it originally, but at this moment, after witnessing Jamie's excitement that didn't seem to be fake, the middle-aged detective was faintly shaken for a while, but he was actually gradually becoming suspicious and doubtful in his heart.
(Could it be that the ghost is really causing trouble? Is there an evil spirit named Mary Shaw who is killing innocent people? No, it’s impossible, there is a ghost? Are you kidding!?)
"Okay, calm down first, I have to leave."
With hesitation and suspicion, but seeing that Jamie was still agitated and feeling that he could no longer talk in detail, Detective Jim decisively ended the conversation, said goodbye, and shouted to the opposite bedroom: "Agent He Fei, I think you should end it for now. That’s the paranormal investigation that interests you, hey, it’s time for us to go!”
After notifying his assistant, Detective Jim did not turn around and leave as expected. Instead, he turned around again for a moment, looked back at the coffee table, and then walked past Jamie towards the center as if he had almost forgotten an important item, and started again. Picking up the doll, he turned to Jamie and said, "I guess you don't mind if I take this important evidence back for study?"
Perhaps because he was afraid that the other party would disagree, the man emphasized his tone when he mentioned the word 'physical evidence'.
"Where are you taking it?"
"next door."
After hearing this, Jamie couldn't help being startled, but Detective Jim smiled and explained: "Yes, my assistant and I live in the guest room next to yours. From now on, we are neighbors."
………
Time returns to 5 minutes ago, in the bedroom.
Based on the logic of being bitten by a snake and fearing the rope for ten years, after listening to He Fei's argument and decision-making, Zhao Ping began to beat his heart, and then showed a complicated expression that was even uglier than when He Fei was thinking.
Being smart is a good thing, but sometimes being too smart is not necessarily a good thing. Just like the man with glasses at this moment, due to his strong understanding ability, he sorted out and integrated the cause and effect of the incident in just a few minutes after he recovered. He came to the same analytical conclusion as He Fei. For example, the puppets are related to the way of survival. For example, destroying the puppets is imperative. There seems to be no other solution besides this. The above are certainly correct. They are correct. He couldn't refute it, but he had also considered the consequences, and the only reason for his ugly face was precisely because of the female tiger. No, that's not right. The female tiger was powerful only on one hand, and on the other hand, he currently lacked tools and lacked some kind of ability. Effective resources used.
As I said before, he is different from He Fei who dares to fight and even gamble with his life at critical moments. The man with glasses is cautious and calm in dealing with things. The so-called emotional things almost never happen to him. He cherishes his life and will not be punished unless he is killed. The rules are so forced that there is no room for maneuver, otherwise he will often use some relatively safe way to deal with the problem, inducing others to take his place without involving himself in danger, while he hides behind and waits to see what happens. Yes, he is used to it. , I have become accustomed to this kind of safe handling method that has always been tried and tested. Unfortunately, it is different this time. Due to the task rules, under the mandatory rule that all executors need to play a role and their movements are restricted, there are no resources nearby, and there is no way to go anywhere. Use the chess piece tool.
Without the chess pieces and tools, the man with glasses was completely blind, and now he faced only two options. He could either follow the example of He Fei and others and risk his own life to take the initiative, or he could continue to hide away with concern for his safety.
(Two paths? No, I don’t think so…)
At this moment, Zhao Ping and He Fei looked at each other with ugly faces. They were silent for a while. No one on either side spoke. It was not because they didn’t want to say it, but because everyone knew it under the rules. There was no need to say anything. He and Zhao looked at each other. Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao, who were on the left and right, also chose to remain silent. For a moment, the scene was silent for a long time. It lasted for more than a minute. Finally, Zhao Ping stopped hesitating after taking a deep breath and returned to normal. He raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and nodded directly to He Fei opposite him while hiding his complicated expression, seemingly agreeing with the youth plan.
(As expected of a man with glasses, he prioritizes safety when encountering problems, but I don’t know what he plans to do next.)
Yes, because Zhao Ping's successive changes are so weird, ordinary people would never be able to guess the reason. But He Fei is different. He is different. As one of the few people in the team who understands the personality characteristics of the man with glasses, college students can guess. He didn't know why the other party hesitated for a long time, and this was one of the reasons why he was willing to wait silently when he found out that the other party's expression was complicated. Returning to the topic, he saw the man with glasses slightly tilting his forehead, seemingly acknowledging his plan. He Fei stood up and watched without saying anything. , and then scanned the people on the scene, it was obvious that except for the 4 people who had gathered together briefly, it was not clear where the others were. Not knowing their location meant that they could not be contacted, and being unable to contact them meant that they could not participate in the plan. Of course, , he learned in detail where Peng Hu was from Cheng Ying. Unfortunately, judging from Peng Hu's current situation, the other party was definitely unable to be used, at least during this mission. The only thing he could do was Pray for it, pray that Peng Hu can persevere until the end. If this is the case, then that means... Regardless of the fact that the plan has been constructed, there are only 4 people present who can actually participate in the parallel plan!
During their thoughts, the four of them just looked at each other and looked at each other. He Fei didn't speak, Zhao Ping didn't speak, and Cheng Ying didn't speak. Even Chen Xiaoyao, who usually talked a lot of nonsense, rarely kept his mouth shut and acted like everyone else. The reason for the cautious appearance is very simple. That is because all four people present have been exposed to female loculi to varying degrees. Everyone has witnessed the special abilities of female loculi. It can be said that with Mary Xiao's cruelty and bloodthirsty, combined with the female loculi, The power of the wolf is too targeted. Once encountered, the chance of being killed is infinitely close to 100%. With all the realities in front of us, there is no one who cannot be cautious, and there is no one who cannot take it seriously!
"Agent He Fei, I think it's time for you to end the paranormal investigation that interests you for the time being. Hey, we should go!"
Suddenly, the silence in the bedroom disappeared instantly and was broken by the sudden shout from outside. The voice came from Inspector Jim. It seemed that the dramatic conversation between the mustache and Jamie had come to an end.
Due to the restriction of his identity, He Fei turned around and walked away quietly, then turned towards the door. However, at the moment when he was about to push the door open, the young man paused slightly, then turned sideways as if he had thought of something, and turned towards the door. Everyone in the room said a sentence, a short sentence that they had said before, as short as only three words:
"Stay alive!"
He Fei left. After putting down those thought-provoking instructions before leaving, he pushed the door open and evacuated. It was not that he was unwilling to work with his teammates to implement the plan, but that his police status restricted him, making him unable to Without any reason, he left the detective and acted at will. As He Fei walked out of the bedroom, the three people in the room also made their own plans.
First of all, what is certain is that the goal is now clear. With the analysis and argumentation of captain He Fei, the next step plan has been decided. Although the specific matters are not stated clearly, everyone still knows clearly what they should do next. The goal is not complicated, then It is to destroy all Mary Xiao's dolls in the following time. Only in this way can we eliminate the female locusts and get rid of the threat. If we don't do it, we can't do it. If we hesitate to give up because of fear of death, then the only thing waiting for everyone will be annihilation, just like at the beginning. As He Fei made it clear, this mission is extremely rare. It is an extreme mission in which even if the time limit is over, there will be no survivors. No matter how the plot develops, no matter how the situation changes, as long as Jamie and the execution The team maintains a life-bound bond, so the executor must fight to the death with the female hawk. Either the female hawk kills Jamie and indirectly destroys the executor, or the executor destroys the doll and indirectly destroys the female hawk.
Both sides have destiny!
Both sides can also kill each other indirectly by destroying their respective life gates! ! !
The life gate of the female beetle is the many puppets hidden everywhere, and the life gate of the executor is exactly the protagonist of the movie, Jamie, a fragile existence that must be protected at the risk of his own life!
………
"Eh? Zhao Ping, are you awake!?"
After a while, when He Fei and Inspector Jim both left, Jamie was shocked when he returned to the bedroom. He was surprised to find that his friend who was lying in bed unconscious earlier had unexpectedly woke up. Although his face was still pale, Judging from his current situation, he is at least out of danger and his life is safe.
Seeing that the bespectacled man had woken up and got out of bed safely, the blond young man was overjoyed and hurriedly walked to him to ask for his welfare. Unfortunately, Zhao Ping did not give him a chance to continue. Instead, he waved to interrupt when he saw Jamie coming in. The other party spoke, and then asked incoherently: "What...are you...going to do...tomorrow?"
"Zhao Ping, what are you talking about? Do you know that your tongue is seriously injured? I can handle the rest by myself. You don't have to do anything in the near future, just lie in bed and rest."
As the saying goes, care leads to chaos. When his friend brought up the problem uncharacteristically, Jamie didn't care. He just complained and comforted him. While complaining casually, he asked the other person to lie down and rest. His attitude was serious and noncommittal. However, unfortunately, it was useless, ineffective, similar At first, Jamie's kindness did not impress his lawyer friend, just kidding! Letting Jamie go on his own without an enforcer to protect him? Unless you want to destroy the group, you cannot allow this kind of suicide to happen anyway, not to mention that due to identity restrictions, the only one who can follow Jamie reasonably now is Zhao Ping!
So naturally, in order to protect each other's safety, the man with glasses ignored Jamie's so-called recent request to lie down in bed, glanced at Cheng and Chen aside, then emphasized his tone, and asked Jamie repeatedly: "Tell me...what...are you...going to do...tomorrow!?".
Finally, Jamie lost and was completely defeated by the stubborn attitude of the man with glasses. Faced with his friend's insistent questioning, the blond young man did not say anything else this time, but lowered his head in thought. After a long time, he raised his head to respond after taking a deep breath and looked at Zhao. Pinghe and Cheng Chen, who were at the scene, revealed their decision: "I plan to go to the funeral home tomorrow and ask Mr. Henry about Mary Shaw."
(What is supposed to come finally comes!)
The above are the common thoughts and ideas in the minds of Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao after Jamie finished speaking. They are correct. As shown in the movie, when Jamie learned the information about the woman from Henry’s wife during the day, Jamie Gradually he realized that the rumors were true. If he was just doubtful and unsure at the beginning, then the recent trip to the cemetery told the young man with undoubted reality that the rumors were true. There is nothing more direct than a female locust. Appearing in person can better represent the truth, and the reason why the female locust is willing to appear in front of Jamie is not a conspiracy? This is a trap deliberately designed to urge Jamie to take the bait as soon as possible. It is worthy of the rumors that the IQ of the female hawk is the one that crushes humans. In addition to her terrifying abilities, she even understands the mentality and even thoughts of her prey!
As a result, Jamie successfully fell into the trap and decided to continue the investigation under his stubborn belief that was difficult to dissuade. Since he planned to investigate in depth, Henry, the funeral director who was hesitant and unwilling to talk in detail during the day, undoubtedly became the best choice. In Jamie's opinion, even the old man's crazy wife knew some clues. As the curator Henry who had personally experienced the small town massacre, needless to say, the old man not only got the clues, he might even know the entire truth about the Mary Shaw incident!
It seemed like he was sighing with emotion, but in fact, Jamie's answer was expected by the three of them. After all, that's how it was played in the movie, and now it's just personal experience. As for stopping it? Forget it, with Jamie's stubborn character, trying to stop him verbally is no less than wishful thinking, and violently stopping him will violate the rules and be killed. Since you can't stop him anyway, it's better to be direct and let him know the truth. Anyway, What should come will always come. Instead of being secretive in front of Jamie and unable to say a lot of words, it is better to let Jamie know the truth. This will also be beneficial to subsequent planned actions. Thinking of this, Zhao Ping was the first to He nodded and responded: "Okay, in that case... then... I will... accompany you tomorrow."
"But the injury on your tongue..."
"No problem, I can still hold on... As for you, you saw the female locust at the cemetery. I guess... you should have realized the seriousness of the matter like me. In my opinion, if we don't deal with it as soon as possible... Once things are resolved, maybe... the town will be slaughtered and all of us will die!"
After Zhao Ping finished narrating his personal opinions intermittently, Chen Xiaoyao, who had already made up his mind about a certain idea, took the opportunity to speak. He walked up to Jamie as a priest and patted him on the shoulder, and then used a standard Western magic stick. An additional sentence popped up in his mouth: "Jamie, although the glory of the Lord envelopes the world, just like the sun will not shine on the earth forever, many times the night is unavoidable, and evil spirits are just things that God cannot take care of. As the Lord Servant of God, I have the same obligation as you and Lawyer Zhao to destroy evil spirits on behalf of God, and I will also participate in this matter."
At this point, he paused, then changed the topic and continued: "Oh, by the way, I'm going to the church to pray all night. I'm going back first. If anything happens, Lawyer Zhao can call me."
Speaking of talking, his words were plain, but when he said the word 'call', Chen Xiaoyao deliberately emphasized his tone.
Of course, leaving aside the tone of things, the key point is that the intention is too obvious, that is...
Chen Xiaoyao actually said goodbye and left?
The answer is self-evident, or the development of the plot forced Chen Xiaoyao to do this. After just confirming Jamie's movements tomorrow, knowing that Zhao Ping would definitely follow Jamie along the original plot route, he immediately made another choice. , yes, now that we have learned from He Fei that many dolls are not just in the same place, it has now become inevitable to act separately. Although the danger faced by acting alone will undoubtedly increase significantly, there is no way around it. Who can What if identity restricts people from gathering? What's more, if all the puppets are destroyed earlier, the executors like them will be safe earlier, right? The truth is so simple. Because of this, Chen Xiaoyao had to take this risk... he had to take it!
However……
"Then I'll go back too."
What Chen Xiaoyao didn't expect was that at the same moment when he just said goodbye and returned, opposite Cheng Ying, who had been silent all this time, actually asked to leave right after him, and also made up a reason for her to leave before leaving. Chen Xiaoyao was different. Cheng Ying, who had always been direct in her behavior, even left at the drop of a hat. She immediately pushed out the door after saying a few words. Let’s not talk about how Zhao Ping or Chen Xiaoyao reacted. Jamie, who had never been in contact with Cheng Ying, I was really stunned. I was stunned by the sudden move of the nurse. Then, the nurse surnamed Cheng just left just like that?
Indeed, Cheng Ying really left. Not long after he opened the door and walked out, the other party left the hotel, drifted away, and gradually disappeared into the distant night.
In fact, Cheng Ying's departure was not a deliberate move. Do you have the same planning intentions as Chen Xiaoyao? Obviously, Chen Xiaoyao deduced that it was inevitable to split up. Cheng Ying, who also had a superb mind, also had her own way of doing things. The purpose of leaving was to act as quickly as possible and go to another location to destroy the doll as soon as possible. The girl really and Chen Xiaoyao rarely thinks of everything together, such as the plan needed for a crisis, such as dispersing operations faster, and some things must be done by someone!
Soon, after Cheng Ying, Chen Xiaoyao said goodbye, and the two parties left the hotel one after another under Zhao Ping's indifferent eyes. It is true that the two did not announce their true intentions when they left, but with the shrewdness of the man in glasses, Wisdom still guessed the purpose of the two people in an instant, but...
Unlike Cheng Ying or Chen Xiaoyao who planned to separate and take risks alone, the bespectacled man who always puts his own safety first was not inspired by Cheng and Chen. It is no wonder that for him, in this mission, he Zhao Ping's responsibility is rather special. He is a good friend of Jamie. It is difficult for him to act alone without him, and he will definitely stay by Jamie's side to protect him. In other words, just protecting Jamie is something Zhao Ping has never done before. Exposures! As for the plan to destroy the dolls? Of course he will do it, but he will never do it in the form of a solo adventure. Yes, in his eyes, Zhao Ping, whether it is Cheng Ying or Chen Xiaoyao, there is not much difference between their actions and seeking death. In fact, Zhao Ping I have already made up my mind and decided to follow the plot of the movie. Anyway, when the plot is nearing the end, Jamie will eventually go to the abandoned theater with Inspector Jim. In this case, he who will accompany Jamie can destroy the puppet. In this way, Why not do it?
It is also worth mentioning that since Jamie will go to the abandoned theater with Inspector Jim at the end of the plot, in addition to following him, He Fei, who is the assistant of the Inspector, will also go together. It is conceivable that if he encounters danger during the period , with that guy’s character, he will protect Jamie at all costs. At that time, He Fei will have to worry about Jamie’s life and death.
(He Fei, He Fei, don’t blame me for going back on my word. This mission is too dangerous and beyond my ability to handle it. I’m different from you. My purpose is very simple. I just hope to survive. That’s enough. , nothing more.)
Thinking of this, the man with glasses smiled, and the corners of his mouth, which had always been expressionless, raised, revealing a subtle sneer that was difficult to detect.
