Just last night, Zhong Qiang started to wander around at night again. He heard that voice calling him again.
The corridor probably did not receive sunlight for many years. All kinds of cold elements were born here, causing him to feel a bone-piercing cold as soon as he opened the door.
A tall figure passed by him, but he didn't feel too afraid because he could tell that it was the auntie who lived next door. She seemed to have said something to him, and he forgot how he answered. He kept looking at the door, hoping that it would open in front of him.
The door really opened with a bang.
The call immediately became much louder.
There must be someone inside.
Zhong Qiang opened the iron door. There was another wooden door inside. He slowly pushed it open and walked in.
A person stood in the darkness in the middle of the room, like a lifeless doll.
"Cockroach, save me."
A low voice echoed in the room.
Fang Lin, is that you?" Zhong Qiang walked over slowly. He only stopped when he saw the other party's face clearly. It was indeed Fang Lin.?
"Cockroach…"
A rotten smell wafted toward Fang Lin as he spoke. It seemed to have come from his mouth.?
Zhong Qiang retreated subconsciously. He knew that Fang Lin was no longer human.?
At this moment, a tall shadow walked towards him from the darkness. It was more like a demon condensed from the air. It wore a hat on its head and was enveloped in darkness. It seemed to be grinding its teeth.
Zhong Qiang's eyes were wide open. There were many things stuffed in his throat, making it difficult for him to make a sound. He turned around and ran home, slamming the door.
While he was still in shock, Zhong Shu's figure appeared in front of him.
Zhong Shu decided to take his son to see a psychiatrist. When he found out that his son always wandered in the corridor every night, he finally realized how terrible things were.
"Your child doesn't have any mental illness, nor is he suffering from schizophrenia or sleepwalking. It's just that the emotions that have been hidden in his heart for many years can't be vented at the moment, so it's an illusion that has accumulated in his heart.”The old doctor wearing black-rimmed glasses said to Zhong Shu after hearing Zhong Qiang's symptoms.
"Doctor, can you put it in layman's terms?”Zhong Shu still did not understand what he meant.
" In other words, Fang Lin and Teacher Yu were both very important to him. Therefore, when they went missing or died, he would feel especially sorrowful. Naturally, he would miss his friends and teachers even more. Hence, he had the illusion that they were right in front of him and that they were living together with him. As for why he heard someone calling him at night, it could be said that it was his hallucination.”
"It's not an illusion, it's real!" Zhong Qiang was convinced of what he saw.
Zhong Shu glared at him and asked again," But he said that there were dead people in the room. In the end, there really were dead people. What's going on?"”
"Since he can sense the existence of his friends and teachers, he will naturally sense them regardless of whether they are alive or dead. This is a kind of supernatural ability that can predict the future. But generally speaking, the most common saying was that this was just a coincidence.”
Perhaps it was just like what the doctor said, it was just a coincidence. Zhong Shu thought so.
After returning from the psychological clinic, Zhong Qiang sat on the back seat of the motorcycle and did not speak.
Zhong Shu came to Wu Tong's house. Li Tong was also there. She was off today.
When he told Wu Tong his idea, Wu Tong immediately became very excited. He said he wanted to go in and take a look.
"Last night, I saw a woman walk into the building. When I chased her in, she was gone."”
"Are you sure?" Wu Tong asked.
"It can't be wrong."
Zhong Shu fell into deep thought.
Hence, Zhong Shu went to find the old man who claimed to be the head of the building and said that he wanted to go to Room 1 to take a look and ask for the room key.
The building manager's eyes were wide open like buns as he kept saying,"You can't go in there, that's Spectre's home, nobody's allowed to disturb him!”
Zhong Shu smiled." That's just superstition. There are no ghosts in the world.”
"But I don't have the key."
Wu Tong looked at this strange old man with a look of distrust.
Zhong Shu didn't ask any more questions. A strange expression flashed across his face as he turned around and left.
Wu Tong did not know what he was going to do. He glared at the old man and followed him back.
When Zhong Shu walked out of the house again, he had a thin iron wire in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Wu Tong asked in confusion.
Zhong Shu was a police officer after all. After he inserted the wire into the keyhole, he opened the door in an instant.
"If you want to catch a criminal, you have to have skills that are better than the criminal.”
Wu Tong was full of admiration for him.
The strange old man who had followed them into the building said fiercely behind them,"You will definitely regret this!”
Wu Tong couldn't help but shiver. He turned around and saw the old man's eyes shining with a fierce light. He didn't dare to look at him again.
The door opened, and a strong smell filled every corner of the room.
The old man shook his head and left when he saw that he could not persuade her.
The room was dimly lit, and everything seemed to be covered in a layer of dust.
Zhong Shu walked all the way to the wall near Wu Tong's house, and his eyes instantly widened.
The wall where the body was found had a rectangular bulge, as if there was a door that was sealed. Everything else was normal, except for this bulge. Zhong Shu found it strange no matter how he looked at it.
Wu Tong also noticed it, but he couldn't figure it out. He sniffed and smelled a rotten smell in the air.
"Ah!" Li Tong suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Wu Tong asked nervously.
"A shadow flashed past!" Li Tong pointed at the door with her eyes wide open.
"Did you see which direction that person ran in?”Zhong Shu rushed to the door and asked.
"Outside."
Zhong Shu rushed out quickly, but there was no one outside. He did not expect the other party to be so fast. He was a little dazed and subconsciously looked towards the Pingfang District.
The old man was standing in front of the window, smiling at them in a strange way.
At this moment, Wu Tong and Li Tong also came out and asked,""Where is he?"
Zhong Shu looked around and shook his head helplessly.
"It must be a spirit!" Li Tong said in horror as she held Wu Tong's hand tightly.
The three of them had just turned around when they heard a slap.
"Not good!" Zhong Shu shouted and ran into the building.
When the three of them ran into the building, they were all stunned on the spot.
The door of Room 1, which was originally open, had already been closed.
"Cockroach, are you sure that the dead person in the wall that day was Teacher Yu?”
It was indeed a ridiculous question to ask a ten-year-old child, but ever since he found a psychiatrist for him, Zhong Shu began to believe Zhong Qiang's words.
Ever since the door to Room 1 had mysteriously closed yesterday, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Danger lurked everywhere, but he was at a loss.
"I'm sure that's Teacher Yu.”Zhong Qiang said firmly.
Zhong Shu decided to investigate the school first, and Wu Tong still went with him.
Although Zhong Shu had gone to Guangming Primary School to investigate the case half a year ago, he had only helped at that time. In addition, it had been a long time, and many details had become blurred.
The three of them took the bus to Guangming Primary School.
Wu Tong looked at Zhong Qiang from time to time. He felt that his eyes contained too many complicated emotions.
After arriving at the school, the three of them got out of the car and walked straight to the school gate.
At this moment, a group of students walked into the school gate. Three people were mixed in. The management here was not very strict, and the guards did not question them. They entered smoothly.
When they arrived at the teaching building, Zhong Shu patted his son and watched him walk towards the classroom. Then, he went to the office building opposite with Wu Tong and asked a teacher about the location of the principal's office.
When they arrived at the principal's office, Zhong Shu gently knocked on the door. After hearing the words to come in, they pushed the door open and entered.
The office was spacious and bright. Near the innermost part was a large desk. An old man in his fifties was sitting behind the desk, reading something.
As the office and desk were a little too big, the principal looked a little thin. When he saw that it was two strangers who came in, he had long forgotten that Zhong Shu had come to investigate the disappearance case half a year ago. He adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and asked,"You are…"
"Oh, you're the principal, right? We're the police. I came here once to investigate Fang Lin and Yu Jie's disappearance case.?”Zhong Shu lied.
The principal's glasses were really big. Wu Tong stared at his glasses in a daze.
"Oh, hello, hello." The principal was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly stood up from behind the table and shook hands with them warmly.
Wu Tong felt that the other party's hand was very rough, but it was very warm.
He must have thought that there was a murder in the school. Wu Tong looked at the principal's embarrassed expression and wanted to laugh.
In order to ease the other party's nervousness, Zhong Shu said,""Don't misunderstand. We're here to get to know someone.”
"Alone? Who is it?" The principal adjusted his glasses again, and his bright eyes were filled with curiosity and uneasiness.
Zhong Shu stared at the principal and said,"Yu Jie."”
"Did your dad send you here?"
Shen He asked when Zhong Qiang put his bag on the desk. When Zhong Qiang entered the school, he saw two adults following him.
"Yes, I am!" Zhong Qiang looked at this rich kid. In his eyes, Shen He did not look like a kid from a rich family. He was less arrogant and they got along well.
Since Mr. Lang had not arrived yet, the classroom was noisy. The students gathered in groups of three or five to chat.
Shen He looked very disappointed." I really envy you. I don't even know when my dad will come home."”
"Has your dad been away all this time?" Zhong Qiang had always thought that Shen He must have lived in a very happy family. He had never had any troubles.
"My dad hasn't been home for a year.”
"Why?"
"I don't know. Maybe she doesn't want me anymore.”
At this moment, Mr. Lang arrived, and the classroom instantly fell silent.
Zhong Qiang looked at him for a long time. It turned out that Shen He also had troubles. He did not have a father, just like he did not have a mother.
He started to look out the window again, and Fang Lin's voice rang in his ears faintly.?
"Yu Jie is a very good teacher. She usually does a good job in teaching and caring for her students. Sigh…Who knew that such a thing would happen? The heavens really did not have eyes!”the principal said emotionally.
Zhong Shu also felt his heart ache, but he changed his mind and asked,"Before Teacher Yu disappeared, did she behave differently from before?”
The principal held his glasses and thought for a while. In the end, he shook his head." Not really.”
"Do you think she's related to Fang Lin's disappearance?”
"It's hard to say. No one knows what happened in those two days.”
Zhong Shu saw that he could not get any clues from them, so he ended the conversation hastily. Before he left, he asked the principal for the addresses of Yu Jie and Fang Lin's families, as well as the information of their parents.
"What should we do next?"
Wu Tong asked Zhong Shu as they walked out of the school gate.
Zhong Shu was considering the authenticity of the principal's words. The old pedant did not provide any useful clues. He only said that Yu Jie was very serious about her work and was deeply loved by the students.
"Let's go to Yu Jie's house first."
Zhong Shu still remembered that her house was in a very remote and quiet community.
When they found Yu Jie's house according to the address, Zhong Shu began to ring the doorbell. The thin and long face that came to the police station to report the case half a year ago appeared in his mind again.
"Wen Mingyuan." He read it out in a low voice.
The door opened and a familiar face appeared, still long and thin, with thick eyebrows.
He was shocked. When he saw Zhong Shu, he slapped his head and said,""Are you Officer Zhong?"
"That's right. Wen Mingyuan, I didn't expect you to still remember me.”Zhong Shu smiled and pointed at Wu Tong." He's my colleague, Wu Tong.”
"Hello, hello, please come in."
Wen Mingyuan shook hands with Wu Tong and invited them into the house.
After they sat down, Wen Mingyuan handed them cigarettes and water, but Zhong Shu stopped him.
"Did you come here today for something?”Wen Mingyuan knew that the police would not visit strangers for no reason.
Zhong Shu could only cut to the chase and say,""Today, we came to find out more about Yu Jie.”
Wen Mingyuan's smile suddenly froze. The change was very surprising.
Wen Mingyuan revealed a complicated expression.
It must be very difficult for a person who had lost his lover to recall the sad past.
Wu Tong had been looking at the furnishings of the room and saw a photo on the wall. In the photo, a man and a woman were smiling happily.
The man was Wen Mingyuan, and the woman should be Yu Jie. Although she was not very beautiful, she was a kind and virtuous woman.
"He's been missing for half a year. What do you want to know?" Wen Mingyuan said sadly.”
Zhong Shu didn't know what to say. He looked at Wu Tongcai and said,""Recently, a female corpse was found in the building where I lived. The time of death is estimated to be more than half a year. We suspect that it might be Yu Jie. Can you tell me more about her situation?”
Wu Tong clearly saw Wen Mingyuan's hand tremble.
"You mean Yu Jie is dead?" he asked nervously.”
Zhong Shu said seriously," We are only suspecting. There is no evidence to prove that the deceased is Yu Jie."”
"Yu Jie is dead?" Wen Mingyuan muttered to himself as he reached into his hair and pulled hard. Perhaps he also knew that for a person who had been missing for half a year, the possibility of survival was almost zero.
After a long time, Wen Mingyuan took out a cigarette and started smoking. His eyes were filled with memories of the past.
Wu Tong noticed that his hands were shaking.
Wen Mingyuan sorted out his thoughts and slowly explained.
"Yu Jie and I met in 1991. At that time, I graduated from high school and my parents died. In order to make a living, I started a fruit business. She was a student at a teacher's college. Our acquaintance was simply unbelievable in the eyes of many people, but we didn't care what others said. We all knew what we were doing. She graduated from university in 1993 and was assigned to teach at Guangming Primary School. We got married the following year. At that time, her family strongly opposed our marriage because my family was poor, my parents died early, and I didn't study much, but Yu Jie married me without hesitation.”
At this point, Wen Mingyuan paused for a moment, and his eyes were filled with happiness and sweetness.
Zhong Shu and Wu Tong were also deeply shocked and stared at him.
"After that, her family stopped complaining and gradually accepted me. Our family was living happily until one night half a year ago. I noticed that she looked very pale and asked her if she was sick. She said she wasn't, but I could tell that she was hiding something from me. We've been married for so many years, and we've never lied to each other about our feelings. But that was the first time I realized that she was hiding something from me. No matter how much I asked, she wouldn't say anything. I was really panicking at that time. She had never been like this before. Later, she told me that there was a student who didn't come to class that day. I told her that something must have happened to the student who didn't come to school. She didn't need to be so panicked. However, she said that someone was following her secretly and she saw a figure. I thought she was making a fuss, but she disappeared that night.”
Wen Mingyuan lowered his head, his shoulders shaking.
"What did she do that night?" Zhong Shu asked.”
"She said that she wanted to do a family interview, and I agreed without thinking too much.”
"Then do you know whose house she went to?”Zhong Shu asked.
Wu Tong looked at him strangely.
"Fang Lin."
"Didn't Fang Lin go missing first? How could she go to his house for a family interview?”
"She said that the person who didn't come to school that day was Fang Lin. She wanted to go to Fang Lin's house to see what was going on, but there was no news from her that night. I went to Fang Lin's house, but his parents said that she didn't go there at all that night. I panicked and searched all the places she might have gone to, but I still couldn't find her, so I reported the case.”
"Where are her parents? Where are you staying now?" Zhong Shu wanted to confirm if that person was Yu Jie.
Wen Mingyuan looked extremely sad and shook his head." Ever since they heard that their daughter went missing, the two elders 'hearts were not very good. They passed away a month ago due to excessive grief.”
"Then try to recall what color Yu Jie was wearing on the night she disappeared.”
Wen Mingyuan thought for a moment and raised his head."It's a yellow suit, beige in color.”
Zhong Shu's heart sank. He didn't say anything else and left with Wu Tong.
After walking out of Wen Mingyuan's house, Wu Tong asked,""Could that person really be Yu Jie?”
" Regardless of whether the corpse in the wall is Yu Jie or not," Zhong Shu said to him," she must be closely related to Fang Lin's disappearance."”
Wu Tong looked at Zhong Shu and smiled knowingly. They had already decided on their next destination.
When they found the address of Fang Lin's house, they were all stunned.
In front of them was a luxurious private villa surrounded by greenery, as if they had arrived in another world.
"I couldn't tell that Fang Lin's family was quite wealthy.”Wu Tong walked inside while looking at the charming scenery around him.
There was actually a guard room at the door. Seeing that someone was about to enter, a young face hurriedly poked his head out of the window and asked with his head tilted,"Who are you looking for?"
"We're the police. We want to find Emperor Fang Qing to investigate a case.”Zhong Shu learned from the school that Fang Lin's father was called Emperor Fang Qing and his mother was called Guan Ting.?
The young man's face suddenly changed color." Wait a moment."”He picked up the phone, probably to report the situation to the owner inside.
After the call, the guard waved his hand and let them in.
They walked into a luxurious hall and were once again shocked by the luxurious furnishings inside.
At this moment, a woman came down from upstairs. She was about 35 or 36 years old and was wearing a set of noble clothes.
Zhong Shu had some impression of this woman called Guan Ting. She had once been investigated at the bureau.
"If I remember correctly, you're Officer Zhong, right? Please take a seat."
Zhong Shu did not expect her memory to be so good. She still remembered it clearly after half a year, but he found that her face was very bad, as if she had a heavy heart.
The two of them sat down. Wu Tong had never been to such a luxurious place before, so he looked a little uneasy.
"Why are you here?" She sat opposite Zhong Shu and asked calmly.
A servant brought over a drink. Zhong Shu waited for the servant to leave before saying,"We're here to investigate Fang Lin's disappearance half a year ago.”
Guan Ting's eyes flashed with a strange light. When she thought of her son, she no longer had a stiff expression. Instead, she looked like an ordinary mother. She sniffed and hurriedly asked,"Is there any news about Xiao Lin?"
" No. A series of strange things have happened recently. It might be related to Fang Lin's disappearance half a year ago.”Zhong Shu suddenly remembered what his son had said.
Guan Ting's excited expression was immediately dispelled by something. She sighed and said," Xiao Lin has always been obedient. Why would she disappear for no reason?”
Zhong Shu saw that she was a little out of control and asked,""Then did you notice anything unusual about your son before he disappeared? Did he say anything?”
Guan Ting thought about it." It's a little abnormal. At that time, I asked him if he had been tired from his homework recently. He said no. This child was good at everything except that he didn't tell his parents and kept it to himself.”
Zhong Shu could not help but think of his son.'Is he unwilling to tell me something like Fang Lin?'
"Then, did Fang Lin's mentor, Teacher Yu, visit him the day before he went missing?”
"No, I haven't."
Zhong Shu and Wu Tong looked at each other. It seemed that what Wen Mingyuan said was true.
Zhong Shu looked around and asked,"Where's your husband?"”
Guan Ting suddenly stopped talking, as if she was afraid to mention her husband.
At this moment, a man with glossy hair walked in with a cigarette in his hand. He sized up Zhong Shu and Wu Tong coldly. "Are you the police?"
Zhong Shu guessed that the guard at the door must have told him, so he nodded and stared at the other party. You must be Emperor Fang Qing?"
"I am. Are you here for Xiao Lin?”Before Zhong Shu could say anything, Emperor Fang continued,""You don't have to investigate anymore. Xiao Lin is already dead.”
Zhong Shu was stunned. He realized that something was not right with Emperor Fang Qing and asked in confusion,""How did you know?"
"Is there a need to ask? If he was still alive, he would have returned long ago. Why would he bother you?”
Wu Tong was displeased. He hadn't expected Emperor Fang to be so annoying.
Zhong Shu suppressed his anger and said calmly,"" Before we investigate the truth, nobody can guarantee that Fang Lin is dead unless we witness it with our own eyes.?”
Zhong Shu left with Wu Tong after saying this.
Emperor Fang pondered over Zhong Shu's last words and smiled contemptuously. He said to Guan Ting,""What did you tell them?"
"Nothing much." She replied coldly, not even looking at him.
"You wouldn't dare!" Emperor Fang Qing glared at her fiercely and hurried upstairs.
Guan Ting acted as if she did not see him. She raised her head and looked out of the window. She had a nagging feeling that there was a human face floating in the sky. It seemed to be Fang Lin, but it also did not seem to be him.?#
