Mysterious creature sightings

Chapter 12 Questioning
Later, the two of them were let out and moved to an empty room for questioning alone. Zheng Linlin felt that the reason why the two of them were treated so specially was because they had just spoken obscenely to the police officer, so when they were questioned alone, she kept silent throughout the whole process. He was submissive and didn't dare to look up at others.

Ling Jiangyue didn't know her mental activities, so she was at the back and waiting next door in advance.

It was already night, and the lights in the room were dazzling. Because it was a hospital ward, there was always a smell of disinfectant in the room, which was not very pleasant.She lay half-ly on the hospital bed bored, looking out the window at the dark night that was forcibly illuminated in half of the corner, and listened intently to the chirping of birds and insects outside.

It was so quiet that she closed her eyes without realizing it, thinking about what happened today and the black shadow that quickly ran away.

What could it be.

The world is full of wonders. She has understood this truth very early, but what she has seen and heard over the years has always amazed her.There are many mysterious creatures in some corners that humans don't often visit.

Ten minutes later, the sound of pushing the door sounded.

Lin Zheng did not deliberately restrain herself, and walked to the hospital bed. Her tall figure blocked half of the light. As she approached, the shadow gradually spread to her body, like the shadow cast by a huge object.

"Still dizzy?" His voice was calm, and with the echo, there was a rare gentleness under the illusion.

Ling Jiangyue opened her eyes and looked at him, then sat up slowly: "A little. Is it my turn?"

"Well, this time it's a record that's officially on file. You can tell me everything you saw without omitting anything." He pulled up a chair and sat down, just like the first time he met at the police station.

She placed her hands on the edge of the hospital bed, her feet hanging down without moving, and her head lowered as if thinking.

"That's all I saw. Before the shooting started, I saw a few dead birds by the lake, but no one took it seriously. After all, it's normal for there to be some bird-eating animals in the ravine. After the shooting started, we went separately to find the question and answer tickets needed for the game. I entered the edge of the woods, and then the scene of the wedding procession played by the staff outside began to reappear. The person playing the role of the bride came out and knelt down to the lake. The prop fish prepared by the program team jumped out... Just because the fish props were prepared before, So when there were fish floating up behind us, we thought they were just props. Several fish floated on the water as if they were poisoned, and within two minutes they were dragged down by something."

"Do you still remember the more specific time? The time between when the fish flipped over on its belly and floated up to when it was dragged down by that thing must have been about 2 minutes?" The recording pen flashed on the side, and Lin Zheng's notebook read The word "time".

She shook her head hesitantly: "I don't know exactly how long it takes, I just feel it's very fast."

Lin Zheng snorted and asked again: "You said before that you saw a black shadow when the fish was dragged into the water?"

"Yes, it was long and very large. It disappeared in a blink of an eye. I thought it was because I was blinded." She made a gesture and roughly described the cross-sectional area of ​​the thing as one meter wide.

"Maybe it's a giant water snake, or an eel, or a crocodile. If you think about these three creatures, which one do you think it looks more like?"

"Maybe...snake? Snakes only eat birds. I thought eels are from the sea and shouldn't appear in the lake? And snakes are poisonous. Maybe we have been infected with some kind of snake venom that can spread into the air?"

Throughout the whole process, she behaved like an honest and pitiful person who accidentally stumbled into the crime scene. She either hesitated to ask questions or hesitated as if she was afraid, which was very consistent with the characteristics of the victim.

But Lin Zheng looked into her eyes and felt that this might not be the case.Once he starts to doubt, all her performances will be replayed in his mind over and over again, and he won't feel at ease unless he finds some clues.

"Our underwater exploration team is still on the way, and it will take some time to confirm your suspicion. Is that all you want to say?"

Ling Jiangyue continued to think, looking at his serious expression, and lowered his voice again like a small animal's instinct: "There is also the matter of a dead bird falling from the sky behind, and my friend is dizzy. I told you before, I didn't want it. supplementary."

"Really?" Lin Zheng put the pen on the notebook with a click, took out a torn piece of paper from underneath, and stood it upright in front of her eyes.

"Then why does your friend Qi Zhiyu's transcript say that you had a very strange conversation before entering the woods?"

As he spoke, he suddenly came closer, and their knees almost touched each other. The cold voice was full of pressure——

"Miss Ling is very knowledgeable about biology?"

In the quiet and empty ward, the thick air seemed to be filled with this questioning, and the space for breathing was compressed to within a stone's throw.Ling Jiangyue didn't move and stared at Lin Zheng's eyes for a while. When he answered again, his voice was soft, as if he was very distressed.

"I thought this conversation had nothing to do with the matter. I just told her there were leeches on the leaves. Because we didn't have a good relationship, I deliberately used a sinister tone to scare her."

"How can you tell at a glance that there are leeches on the back of leaves? People who often explore the rainforest may not be able to see it at a glance."

"But," she frowned, and after hesitating for a while, she still only managed to hold back a meaningless sentence, "I just saw it."

Lin Zheng stopped talking and stared at her intently, his eyes a little heavy.

Occasionally someone passed by in the corridor outside, pushing a cart that jingled, and not long after, someone knocked on the door.

Lin Zheng said, "Come right away" without looking back, and then finally closed the distance between the two of them, and his tone of voice softened a bit.

"I need you to stay and observe tonight. You can go out and stay with your friends later."

Ling Jiangyue nodded, seeing that he was going to walk away so unclearly, so he pulled him and asked: "Wait a minute, have you found out why we are all dizzy? Is it really poisoning?"

"No," Lin Zheng took her hand away, shrouding her whole body in shadow when she stood up, "it's infrasound waves."

"Infrasound?" She was a little confused.

Could it be infrasound? No wonder I saw black shadows.

Her doubts were within the scope of normal thinking. Lin Zheng saw nothing else and turned to leave.

But after a pause, he turned back and said: "If your family comes to find you, I hope you can help explain without leaking information. Don't leave the hospital for the time being. We don't know what kind of harm this infrasound wave will cause. The sequelae.”

"it is good."

With a click, she was alone in the ward again.

Ling Jiangyue looked at the figures receding outside the door, closed her eyes and listened carefully to what they were saying.

They were talking about "the tools were brought", "the detectors were put down" and "there are many dead birds in the woods". Lin Zheng just hummed from time to time and did not express an opinion.

After that, she couldn't hear anymore.

But don't listen, she will be invited over again. The person's doubts about her are almost overflowing from his eyes, and the secreted information molecules have a very novel taste.

Ling Jiangyue continued to hold on to the edge of the hospital bed, swinging her legs and curling her mouth slightly.

"Buzz." The phone on the hospital bed vibrated, and someone sent a hidden message.

【Report safe】

She poked the screen with one hand and replied: [Safe]
