The Exorcist
Part Four: Ghost Shadow Chapter Two: Murder in a Secret Room?
Immediately, it was dark all around, only the cold wind blowing in, mixed with the 'whoop' sound that can only be heard in the open space when the wind blows, other than that, there was no movement, the boy's message seemed to suddenly disappear in this world.
The girl was terrified and curled up under the blanket, feeling the cold wind touching her face. Alone and scared she lay stiff for a while, then plucked up the courage and started calling her boyfriend by his name softly.
In the dark winter night, accompanied by the whimpering wind, a woman's voice was slowly calling out to her sweetheart. This scene was no different from a ghost movie, but she frightened herself first, and immediately silenced herself.
However, at this moment, a voice came from the darkness and began to answer her call. First there was the creaking sound of the door closing, then the clanging sound of the door being locked, and then—the sound of footsteps.
One step, one step, one step——
The side of the bed felt like it was caved in, and someone sat on the edge of the bed, but didn't speak.
"Is that you?" the girl asked breathlessly.
The person next to the bed didn't answer, but only made a whimpering sound, as if turning his body around, and then there was a 'pop' sound, a small cluster of flames lit up, and behind the flames was the boy's face.
He stared at the girl fixedly, his face looked cloudy and cloudy in the faint flickering light of the fire, still a little gray and ferocious.
But the girl finally felt a little relieved when she saw her lover's face, so she couldn't help complaining after the fire went out: "I didn't make a sound, I was going to scare me to death, I thought you were gone."
The boy still didn't speak, just got into the quilt all at once.
Immediately, the girl felt the cold outside rushing in, making her shiver, "Did you find out—what?" She asked, feeling that her boyfriend was a little weird.
silence.
Seeing that her boyfriend was silent, the girl was a little annoyed. Just as she was about to say something, a hand suddenly crossed under the quilt and began to caress her body roughly.
"Don't—"
Before she finished speaking, a thought in her mind made all the hairs on her whole body stand up one by one—the touch of this hand could not be more clear to her, it was dry, rough, cold and stiff——
She screamed and pushed the strange hand away desperately, but nothing touched the tentacles, as if she had passed through the air.
"You brought him in!" She yelled uncontrollably, and wanted to get up, but found that she was held down and couldn't move at all.
'Crack', the cluster of flames lit up again, still illuminating the boy's face. But this time the girl felt something was wrong.
The fire light was not emitted by a lighter at all, but emitted a faint blue light, flickering strangely, and did not have the warmth that fire should have, but was cold and whizzing.
And the most important thing is - there is no 'lighter' in one hand, the flame appeared out of thin air!
"Isn't it me?" The boy finally spoke, the voice was the same, but the tone was very stiff.
The girl wanted to jump up in horror, but she was still unable to move. She could only watch her boyfriend's turned head up close, facing her with a pure ninety-degree posture that is impossible for human beings.
"The light—is broken." She was so frightened that she could hardly speak, she could only utter a small whisper, even she herself didn't know what to say, "I will never——don't come here.”
"How can I do that, if you don't come, I can't get you," the boy continued, "You like the light, I can give it to you." The words fell, and the wall lamp turned on again.
The flash of light dazzled the girl, and she closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened it again, she saw the boy's head resting on the pillow, with the quilt covered up to his chin, staring at her with a pair of eyes, which looked weird and gloomy, because his eyes didn't blink, And under the quilt, there is no ups and downs that the human body should have!
Subconsciously, she threw off the quilt violently. And the thing under the quilt made her let out a scream that shattered the night!
\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026
The next day, everyone on Ronghua Road was talking about the murder at the love hotel, because the scream in the middle of the night woke up all the nearby sleeping people, and the ensuing siren let people know that it must be a murder. Something important happened, so he boldly ran out in the cold winter night to find out the situation.
Needless to say how frustrated Lazy San was.
The person who runs the hotel is afraid that this will seriously affect his business. And how this unlucky thing happened to him made him terrified and puzzled.
At that time, he was sleeping soundly, and he heard a strange movement in a trance, but he didn't pay attention to it. It was only when the scream passed through the thick wooden door in the basement and spread all the way to his room in the attic that he suddenly woke up. I realized something was wrong.
He put on his clothes indiscriminately, and ran out barefoot. After confirming that the screams came from the basement, he comforted the tenants who had been awakened, and went to the place where the screams came from with a few bold male tenants.
"That girl must be having a nightmare, she looks timid." He said to the male tenants his speculation, in fact, he wanted to persuade himself, because the more he went down, the more disturbed he became , but as the owner of this place, he had to bite the bullet to see what happened, "I guess her boyfriend is hugging her to comfort her, maybe we can see a sexy scene!"
"Yeah, maybe people won't open the door!" Only one tenant answered his voice, but his voice was a little trembling, obviously not convinced.
Lazy San didn't know what to say, so he hummed twice as an answer, walked through the living room on the first floor, and turned into the passage leading to the basement.
As soon as he entered the passage, there was a strong smell of blood coming out of his nostrils.
Later, lazy three thought about what happened that night, and thought that if he could think about it, he might not go in, so he wouldn't be so scared. But almost subconsciously at that time, he walked in hesitantly, 30% curious, 70% afraid, and those few people followed behind him in the same state.
He was holding an extra-large flashlight, which could see 20 meters ahead, so as soon as he entered the passage, he saw a person lying on the ground with his head turned inward.
The light of the flashlight moved inward inch by inch, allowing Lazy San to slowly see the outline of the person lying on the ground. It was a man, from his attire, he could tell it was the boy who lived in the basement, but he had no way of confirming it, because that man had no head.
At that time, he screamed embarrassingly, and his voice was more frightened than the screaming female voice just now. Always a coward, he even peed his pants on the spot in fright, and couldn't even run away, because he was dragged out by a calm tenant.
After calling the police, he still had lingering fears. When the police surveyed the scene and asked him questions, he couldn't even answer normally.
But he knew that the door was locked inside and the police had no choice but to break in. On the bed in the room, the girl was lying naked on the bed, with bruised handprints all over her body.
It is said that it is a handprint, but I can't be sure, because the handprints are shorter than normal people, and the shape is extremely irregular, like animal claws or the hands of children with disabilities.
Next to the girl, the quilt was huddled together. The police guessed that the head of the headless male corpse outside was under here, so they carefully lifted the quilt.
The situation is consistent with their guess, but what is abnormal is that there is a wooden stick stuck under his neck cavity, like a fish that has eaten only its head and spines!
The wooden stick was later confirmed to be the mop stick that Ms. Wang usually uses for sanitation.
Lazy San was told not to divulge what he knew about the situation on the scene. In fact, he would not do that, because he was afraid of thinking about it, so he dared to say it, and he didn't know the details.
In fact, it seemed like another locked room murder.
The door was locked, and it was an old-fashioned deadbolt lock, so it was more difficult for the police to rush in. The female corpse was found to have had sex before death through an autopsy, but there was no sign of rape. She died of excessive shock and suffocation, but the numerous bruises on her body could not be explained.
The death of the headless man was even more bizarre. There was no obvious external injury. It seemed that someone had chopped off his head suddenly. The victim did not show any signs of struggle and resistance, which is unthinkable for a tall young man unless he was also greatly frightened. Moreover, it was confirmed that the murder weapon was only a small switchblade with only the victim's fingerprints on it.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it can be deduced that the male deceased must have heard something and came out to check, but was killed on the spot, and then the murderer entered the room, locked the door, and killed the girl. The girl didn't cry at that time, which shows that the murderer didn't make any sound when he killed the male deceased.
But how did he escape in the secret room?
The skylight was too small, and it could only pass through the body of a seven or eight-year-old child. With the bruises on the female corpse, it seemed that a child or a dwarf did it. Leaving aside how a person of this size has such courage and strength, the thick dust on the skylight proves that it has never been opened.
And this case is so cruel and perverted, what is the motive?
Is this a locked room murder? Who has this ability? Could it be an unknown beast? But wild animals do not have such intelligence and perverted behavior. This mystery puzzles everyone who knows the inside story.
Because of the suspense and lack of clues in this case, Lazy San's love hotel was closed for a week. In fact, no one would dare to come and live even if the business was not closed. Even Lazy San went to live with friends.
A week later, he bit the bullet and returned to his small mansion. When he was worried that no one would be with him and dare not stay alone, he found that Sister Wang was waiting for him. He was very happy at the time, knowing that this was the plight of the poor, and it was useless to be afraid. If you don’t earn a day, you may not have food for a day. Especially the super-born guerrillas like Sister Wang have no right to be afraid.
He generously gave Sister Wang a room on the third floor and prevented her from sleeping in the basement. In fact, this room was the closest to his attic, and he felt more at ease with someone to accompany him.
When he and Sister Wang walked out of the small building without incident the next day, it was considered a living advertisement for their hotel. It's just a murder, it's not a haunting. After the incident, it's still the same as before!
This is his message.
Sure enough, in the next two days, young couples who could not bear the pain of lovesickness came to his hotel again. Although the occupancy rate was reduced by half, and no one wanted a room on the first floor, he was still very happy. Earned his money.
That day, after he came back from drinking outside, he just climbed up to the third floor, when he happened to see a young man and woman coming out of the room. He knew that the murder still had an impact. Many lovers came during the day and left at night.
"Let's go? Come back next time." He greeted graciously, shaking to make way, but the couple ignored him at all and went downstairs.
"This money-loser, the house price has risen so much." The girl cursed.
The boy didn't speak, and he felt a little bit sorry for Qian. He is a poor student, but he has to endure this petty man's casually driving up the house price just to meet his girlfriend.
Just as they were thinking, they walked to the first floor and saw a large pile of banknotes scattered on the ground. The amount of money shocked them.
The boss must have accidentally dropped it on the ground after being drunk!
The two thought at the same time and looked at each other. I saw the money lying on the ground, being blown all over by the wind blowing in from the partly closed windows.
"If you don't take it, don't take it!" The two said in unison, and then went to pick up those hundred-dollar bills, not wanting to drop a single one, the more they picked up the happier they were, and they didn't even realize that the money was scattered from the stairs to the corner of the basement.
Moreover, if someone else passes by at this time, they will see that the ground is full of ghost coins!
