Chapter 51: Cases Not Understood
"No."
Zhang Ruliang looked at Lü Xin in horror, clutching her hand. She burst into tears. Behind her, it felt like a giant hand was covering her mouth. A black figure enveloped the entire world, its red eyes staring blankly at Lü Xin, blocking out everything .
"I didn't see any ghosts!"
"I didn't see any ghosts... I didn't see any ghosts..."
The scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurred. Lu Xin felt that the world was spinning and everything was pulling away. Then Lu Xin suddenly woke up. She stood up from the table, looked around in confusion, and took a deep breath.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
She just fell asleep.
The sounds of clamor, crying, quarreling, and complaining alternated in the police station. Lu Xin touched his head and felt a pain in his head.
How did you fall asleep?
"Captain Lu, if you're too tired, go back and rest... Your body won't be able to handle this."
The colleague said worriedly, Lu Xin waved his hand and asked:
"Li Que, is Zhang Ruyue's autopsy report out yet?"
The most important thing now is Zhang Ruyue’s death. Suicide is not considered a serious case nowadays, but Lu Xin feels that there is something complicated behind the case.
Li Que came over with a piece of bread in his mouth and a pile of information in his hands. He leaned his head on the box and looked at Lu Xin with a serious look.
"The forensic doctor is confirming the situation, it should be ready soon."
"Do you also think there's something wrong with Zhang Ruliang?"
"That's right."
Lu Xin met Li Que's eyes, and they both said in unison:
"There's something wrong with her answer."
"When a normal person is asked if they've seen a ghost, and the person who died wasn't her, their first reaction would definitely be 'I don't know' or 'What do you mean?' It always takes time to respond to this question."
"But her answer was very straightforward. People like her are either naive or..."
"She knows who the murderer is."
But now, the evidence is insufficient, and more conclusive evidence is needed to confirm Zhang Ruliang's actions.
Maybe... she was the one who killed her own sister.
Lu Xin took a sip of water to clear the chaos in his mind, but then he heard a familiar sentence again -
"Officer, I want to report a crime."
Lu Xin was attracted by this man and was a little distracted for a moment.
His arms were bent at a ninety-degree angle, his back was hunched, his face was covered with hair, his tongue was hanging out, one eye was empty, and the other was filled with fear.
He is a bit ugly, but Lu Xin is not attracted by his appearance. He just looks like an ordinary middle-aged man.
The important thing is that what he said made Lu Xin feel very strange.
"Officer, I want to report a crime. I encountered a ghost."
"Help me."
His tone was calm, but his hands were clearly bent 90 degrees behind his back, and it looked painful. Lu Xin took the initiative to move closer and listened to the conversation between the man and the police officer.
“Maybe you think I have no problems at all, but I can tell you about my problems.”
"Just trust me and I didn't make a false police report."
"You mean... your body has changed, but we can't notice it?"
The police officer who received the report said so. He tilted his head and looked at the man in front of him, trying to find any strange traces...
But he couldn't find it.
Lu Xin also looked at the man in front of her. He had normal hair on his face, his tongue was drooping normally, his eyes were empty normally, his arms were bent normally, only his pupils were flashing with abnormal fear.
He looks very ordinary, just like an ordinary middle-aged man.
"Yes, that's what I mean!!"
“Although you can see my differences and hear my differences, but… you can’t understand my differences.”
"My arms were bent at ninety degrees, my face was covered in fur! My eyes were gouged out, my tongue was pulled out..."
"I'M TURNING INTO A DOG!!"
"But... no one understands."
“No one can feel…”
The man raised his head and cleared his nose, but tears still flowed down his face. He raised his hand with great effort and wiped his eyes with the clothes on his shoulders.
The police officer in front of him was impatient. He couldn't understand the man's report:
"I still don't understand...Humans are four-limbed animals. Just because you have normal physiological signs, you think you can become a dog? Then if I can meow, I'm a cat?"
"but……"
The police officer began to doubt himself when he said this. Lu Xin looked at the table. There were two more documents on it. They were also new reports filed today. The situations of these three people were different, but they only emphasized one point -
The police officers cannot understand it, only the person who reported the case can understand it.
"Do you have any more relevant evidence for your report?"
To be on the safe side, the police officer continued to ask questions. If it were in the past, he would not have cared about this matter. This was simply alarmist and nonsense.
But just two days ago, Shangcheng and Tangcheng simultaneously announced the existence of ghosts, and Tangcheng also emphasized that ghosts must be bad.
Now Bincheng is still influenced by Taoist believers, and people are in panic, not knowing whether to believe these crazy cases or not.
After all, it was the early stage of the announcement, and everyone was inexperienced and a little nervous. However, with the mentality of "it's better to believe it than not", they decided to treat these people who seemed to have mental problems with caution.
"have."
"I have evidence... but you just can't understand it."
The man said it with certainty, then he took out a photo. Lu Xin was standing aside, looking at the photo in front of him, frowning slightly.
"Officer Lu, did you see that?"
"This is a photo of me killing a dog. You might think it's photoshopped, or you might think it's staged."
Lu Xin raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Why are you asking me this? I'm not taking your statement."
The man was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been rude. He straightened up, his eyes as clear as autumn water, looking at Lu Xin and blinking slowly.
"Because you are the only one who will believe me. You will believe things that you have never believed before."
"I've been here for many days and reported the case many times, but no one paid any attention to me. I've seen you before, but you all thought I was normal."
"Only yesterday, when I came, did you really look at me for the last time."
"You asked me if I was confused by religion, and I said I never believed in religion. You asked me if I had hallucinations caused by excessive grief over the death of my puppy, and I said no. You asked me if I had a mental illness before, and I said... the doctor did think I was sick."
"But I'm not sick."
"Even though you don't remember anything today, as long as we skip the previous investigation and continue exploring... we can try more methods."
"Before I die."
Lu Xin looked at the slightly calm man in front of her, but it sounded like a fairy tale to her, just like a man saying that he had met Lu Xin in his previous life when chatting her up. He would reject such a strange question on the spot.
But now she is not a woman, but a police officer, and the person in front of her is not a man who is trying to flirt with her, but a person who is reporting a crime.
After a long while, Lu Xin couldn't bear it and nodded, saying:
"Okay...I believe you."
"Then let's go to the scene in the photo first."
…
…
"Officer Lu, Officer Lu!"
"I'm in so much pain, I'm in so much pain, help me, help me!"
"It's too late, too late!"
"My hand...is broken again!"
A strange man was wailing in the darkness. Lu Xin tried her best to run towards him, but she was getting farther and farther away from him.
No...no!
"don't want!!"
Lu Xin suddenly stood up, screaming and waking up from her dream.
Her head was covered in sweat, and she looked around weakly. It was a silent police station.
Is it late at night already?
She patted her head with her tiger paw to sober herself up.
She just had a nightmare.
Lu Xin couldn't remember the dream clearly. He just felt a little nauseous and didn't want to think about it anymore.
She was in charge of a missing child case all day this morning. She originally thought it was human trafficking, but it turned out that the son ran back to his grandmother's house.
Another day wasted, and there are still important things to be done.
Li Que's voice followed, and then Li Que said:
"Captain Lu, the autopsy report for twin sister Zhang Ruyue is out."
Li Que's eyes were serious, and he continued:
"Confirm she killed."
