Episode 4 Chapter 033 Hint
The first one to react was Shi Hu. He immediately rushed to the door and opened it. I followed him out, but there was no one in the living room. Shi Hu then went to the balcony, and the alley was still empty, with no sign of anyone at all. Finally, Shi Hu went to the bathroom and never came out. When I went over, I saw Shi Hu staring at the mirror. At first I thought he saw the same thing as me, but it turned out that there was something on the mirror this time.
It was a palm print, as if the cold temperature still remained, condensing the surrounding water vapor into mist attached to the mirror, like a silent cry, and as the water vapor evaporated, the palm print was fading. I remember that there was also such a palm print in our bathroom.
Shi Hu and I came out of the bathroom, and then he made a phone call. I don’t know who he called, but he just asked the person on the other end of the phone to come over and take a look. Then he hung up and said we should leave here first.
But when we returned to the living room, we found that the screen of Shi Hu's laptop was flashing. I walked over to take a look and realized that it was playing a silent video. I initially thought that Shi Hu did not close the video, so the player automatically started playing from the beginning. However, after watching the content of the video, I found that this was not the case. There was another video playing on it. I asked Shi Hu if it was from his computer and it played automatically because of the player?
But Shi Hu looked at the video with a serious face and said that there was no such video on his computer at all. The video showed a corridor, and he didn't know where it was. It was flickering, and the voice-controlled lights suddenly went out and suddenly lit up again. But no matter it was off or on, you could see the deep and gloomy corridor. If it weren't for the voice-controlled lights that kept lighting up and stopping, the picture would really be no different from a still picture.
I couldn't tell where this place was, so I looked at Shi Hu and just asked casually, not expecting Shi Hu to give any answer. To put it bluntly, I just asked some nonsense to ease the atmosphere. But Shi Hu's expression became more solemn. He said this was the corridor of the morgue in the funeral home. He had been there several times, so he remembered it.
I suddenly felt the air around us getting colder, so I asked how the corridor surveillance of the funeral home morgue was on his computer, and Shi Hu said he didn't know yet. So the next situation was quite strange. Shi Hu's computer was on the sofa, and Shi Hu and I stood by the sofa and watched the video motionlessly, not because we felt comfortable in this position, but because we didn't dare to sit down and watch it.
It was not until I felt something cool on my neck, as if it was icy, and then felt a breath on my neck that I was so startled that I immediately turned around to look and screamed out. My scream also scared Shi Hu, but when I turned around, there was nothing behind me. Shi Hu asked me what was wrong. I touched my cold neck and said that I felt someone breathing on the back of my neck.
Shi Hu asked me if I felt right, I said that the feeling was very real and clear, it was indeed the feeling of someone breathing, but the breath was not hot, but cold. As I said this, I touched the back of my neck and felt my whole body was hairy. Shi Hu said that if that was the case, we should leave here first.
And when we looked at the computer again, the screen was black. Shi Hu confirmed that it had shut down automatically. He didn't delay too much, closed the computer, picked it up and left with me.
I was still in shock when I got off the bus. The feeling of breath followed me all the time. Even now that I was in the bus, I still felt like there was a shadow behind me, which made me want to look back and see what was going on. Shi Hu saw that I was getting paler and paler, and asked me if I was okay. I said I was fine, I was just really scared. I said that although some abnormal things had happened before, they were at most scary, but this time I seemed to really feel it was right next to me, and there was a sense of threat that danger was lurking around me. This kind of shock was different from the previous shock.
Shi Hu said he had had such experience, so he could understand what I said.
Afterwards, Shi Hu sent me home. I just felt that the house was also gloomy. Shi Hu said that no matter what, I should be patient for the time being. This difficult time will always pass, provided that I don’t scare myself. Shi Hu said that he still had things to do and could not stay here with me all the time. Moreover, for general police officers, these matters are confidential. Besides, my current situation is not suitable for someone to accompany me. He said that my parents are a lesson, because what happened to me is contagious. I will be fine, but the people who are infected don’t know.
So Shi Hu said that some things you have to face independently, otherwise you will never get out of this shadow. Even if you can get rid of it temporarily, it will come back to you in the future. This cycle will repeat itself and you will never be able to get rid of it for the rest of your life.
After hearing what Shi Hu said, I managed to calm down. Before leaving, I asked Shi Hu why the police listed me as a suspect and forbade me to leave since I had nothing to do with Old Man Liu's death. It also seemed not a good idea for me to stay at home every day without going to work and wait to be scared.
Shi Hu explained to me that I was not allowed to leave because I was a suspect, but because I was an important witness who needed my help. The reason why I was not allowed to go to work was, firstly, for the safety of others, and secondly, to block the news, otherwise it would cause unnecessary panic and trouble if it spread.
Although Shi Hu's words were somewhat reluctant, I was not stupid and understood his hidden meaning. Finally, he said that he and Master Nan would come to deal with the paper man in the evening. It was not a good thing to keep such a paper man in the house all the time. I said that I finally didn't have to face this paper man that looked like a dead person anymore. Then Shi Hu left. He also specifically told me that it would be better not to run around and stay at home more.
So I could only surf the Internet and watch TV to pass the time. I changed into a more comfortable home outfit, but when I was changing my outer clothes, I took out a strange thing from my pocket. It was a crumpled paper ball. I don't know when this paper ball got into my pocket. Logically, I should have noticed such a big ball, but I didn't realize it until this moment.
So I unfolded the paper ball and saw a line of pencil marks between the wrinkled paper - You can't put the ashes back!
I suddenly felt like I was in a cloudy atmosphere. I swallowed my saliva. It was certain that this note was not given to me by Shi Hu. And I was only with Shi Hu during this trip. And then...
Could it be that when I was breathing behind me, the paper ball was already in my pocket?
I was lost in thought when I suddenly caught a glimpse of something sliding in from the door outside the living room, so I walked over to take a look and found that it was wrapped in a large envelope. This immediately reminded me of Huang Weilun's experience, so I opened the door without even thinking about it and went out to the corridor, but there was no one in the corridor at all. I closed the door angrily and went back to the room, picked up the large envelope and opened it. After opening it, I saw a sketch, the pencil sketch that I saw last time in 721. I took it and lost it in the elevator at that time, but now I don't know why it has come back again.
When I was wondering, I suddenly seemed to think of something, and then I rushed to the window sill of the room and looked down. Sure enough, I saw a person standing under the street light below. Although it was still a little unclear, I was sure that he was the same person I saw in the middle of the night. I just didn’t know if it was Huang Weilun, and I was not sure yet.
I looked at the sketch carefully, but couldn't make out anything. Apart from the mystery of its origin and purpose, there was nothing special about it. So I put it back into the envelope and put it in the drawer of my desk, planning to show it to Shi Hu and Master Nan when they came in the evening.
Just after I closed the drawer of my desk, an idea suddenly came to my mind. Could there be something stuck under my desk? As I was thinking about it, I reached under the drawer and found that there was something!
