Thirteen prisons

Chapter 39 Video
It wasn't until the third night that Zhou Yuan finally received a call from Lu Ming: "I'll be at the train station right away, and I'll be in Daba Town the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan heaved a sigh of relief knowing that Lu Ming had asked for another leave so soon and would be back soon.

In the past two days, Lin Jing's state has not changed much. She relies on the infusion of nutrient solution to maintain it. I don't know how long it can last like this.Yan Yi had no intention of sending her to the hospital at all.Zhou Yuan was so anxious that he asked several times a day, wondering if Yan Yi had detected anything from the red substance he brought back, but he never got an answer.Some good feelings towards Yan Yi that had been built up because of the travel incident before faded again under his obvious prevarication.

"During the time I'm here, I need you to do a survey." Lu Ming said immediately.

"What investigation?"

"The mobile phone you sent over can no longer be repaired and turned on. However, I asked someone to export the contents of the mobile phone, and found that there were three videos in it. I have already sent the video to your mailbox. You and Lao Hu will first Take a look. I'll call back later."

video?Zhou Yuan hung up the phone and immediately went to check the mailbox on his mobile phone, and sure enough, he found that Lu Ming had sent three videos a few minutes ago, and he immediately downloaded them to his phone, and opened the first video with Lao Hu.

The video is very blurry, and the resolution of the picture quality is very low. It is obvious that there are individual pixels, and there are ripples similar to interference from time to time.But considering that it was an old Nokia phone after all, the ability to record video was considered quite advanced at the time.

At the beginning of the video, it was dark, and it was hard to see where it was, but it should be raining heavily around the sound.The screen shook violently for a few seconds, and when it stabilized again, it could be seen from the surrounding weeds and trees that it should be in a relatively remote wilderness.

Then the picture moved downwards, and the originally dim picture became brighter and brighter, and the clarity improved a lot.It didn't stop until the camera was aimed at a pit on the ground.

Only then did Zhou Yuan understand why the picture suddenly became brighter: something was burning in the pit, and the flames were still very strong in the rain, probably because gasoline was added or something.

Heavy rain, flames, and dirt pits, coupled with the low resolution of the video, give the whole picture an eerie, gloomy feel.Amidst the sound of rain and burning, a person seemed to be panting and moaning faintly, or maybe he was talking in a low voice, but because the rain was too loud, it was really hard to hear what he was saying.

The video ended quickly, and the viewing time was only about 40 seconds. Zhou Yuan felt a little baffled.This video should also be recorded by Lin He, but I don't know what his intentions are.

Lao Hu brought the phone over and clicked the replay button. This time, he turned the volume up to the maximum. He shook his head and gave up after listening to it two or three times.

The picture in the second video is more blurred than the previous one, but the picture has been fixed, and it seems that the phone should be placed somewhere.Judging from the picture and sound, it is in the same place as the first video, and the sequence is also later, because you can vaguely see the pit, but it has been filled up, and you can only see that there is still burning inside. The traces of the fire, as for the flames, are completely gone.

Then, a figure appeared on the screen.

"Look, is it Lin He?" Lao Hu immediately asked.

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes wide and discerned carefully.The video quality is not high, and the figure is about ten steps away from the phone, and the face is a bit blurred.But Zhou Yuan still nodded, he was sure it was Lin He.

Hu Dongdong didn't ask any more questions, and the two continued to watch with concentration.

In the video, Lin He is trying his best to fill up the burnt earth pit, and he quickly piled it up into a small mound. On the periphery of the pit, I walked back after stepping on it a few times.

At this time, his face gradually approached the camera. In the 30-pixel screen, Lin He's face finally gradually became clear.This was the first time Zhou Yuan saw this face after Lin He spontaneously combusted, and his mood was very complicated.

Then the screen started to rotate. It should be that Lin He took back his phone and wanted to continue taking pictures, but the screen suddenly went black.Lao Hu looked at the time, and the length of the video was exactly 2 minutes: "It seems that this is a problem with the mobile phone. The shooting time of this old mobile phone is limited. The maximum length of each video is only 2 minutes."

Compared with the inexplicable one in the first video, although the second video is blurry, it can be confirmed that the phone is indeed Lin He's, and these videos are all recorded by himself.Naturally, it also proved that Lin He had indeed lived in the warehouse.The information in the video can only guess that Lin He dug a hole somewhere, burned something in the hole, and buried it.

So what is he burning?

Lao Hu clicked on the third video: "There is one more video, let's talk about it after watching it all."

The third video doesn't match the style of the first two videos at all.As soon as the screen pops up, it can be clearly seen that the surrounding environment has changed, and it is definitely not the same place.

This time, Lin He's face appeared first, occupying most of the screen, and then gradually became smaller.It looked like he was taking a selfie with his phone.

As the camera zoomed out, most of Lin He's body could be seen.He was sitting on the dirty concrete floor, and beside him were two large bottles of mineral water.The fill light of the mobile phone should be turned on. Lin He's appearance is much clearer than the previous two videos. His expression is a bit ferocious. He grabbed a mineral water bottle and drank a couple of sips. He seemed to find it very difficult to drink, and then spit out most of it on the ground. .

Then Lin He took out his lighter, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs distractedly.The camera turned to a large angle, looking at a puddle of water stains on the ground, and then Lin He threw the cigarette butt directly on it.As soon as the cigarette butt fell to the ground, the small piece of "water" actually burned directly.

Zhou Yuan was a little puzzled. If it was gasoline, Lin He obviously drank a lot: "What's the situation?"

"The mineral water bottle must be filled with wine, high-grade wine." Lao Hu said in a deep voice: "This kind of baijiu that is ready to drink at one point must be at least [-] to [-] degrees."

Immediately afterwards, Lin He's laughter came from the video, a loud and unscrupulous laugh.There was a bit of sadness in the madness, and then the screen began to shake. He should be standing up and walking, but at the moment the screen turned, Zhou Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. This feeling was very strong, accompanied by inexplicable and inexplicable fear .It's as if the subconscious has suddenly discovered something, but rational thinking has not had time to give the analysis process.

He quickly pressed the stop button and said, "Go back a little."

Lao Hu glanced at him: "Why, does this place look familiar to you?"

Zhou Yuan immediately nodded and said: "Yes, it looks familiar. I remembered, this should be the Wudou warehouse, look at the goods covered by canvas around it, and those two mineral water bottles, we have all seen it before. The ground is also this kind of concrete floor, with a lot of dust... No!"

Zhou Yuan pressed the playback button, and the screen changed as the progress bar was dragged.At this time, it happened to return to the scene when Lin He was standing up with his mobile phone. The direction of the camera moved, and he could just see the wall behind him.

Zhou Yuan immediately understood where the strong feeling in his heart came from, and suddenly a chill ran from his back to the top of his head.

"That wall! The warehouse is clean! Damn, what's going on?" Zhou Yuan was a little excited.

Lao Hu also realized at the same time: "Where are those red ghost things?"

Zhou Yuan finally knew what the bad intuition was just now.

In this video, it shows Lin He's selfie in the fighting warehouse of the machinery factory.It can be clearly seen from the screen that there is nothing abnormal in the warehouse at this time.It's not like when they went, there were all those red sticky weird things everywhere.When Lin He took the video, these things did not exist.

Then there is only one possibility, these things only appeared after Lin He came.Reminiscent of the scene when these things grew on Lin Jing, the logical conclusion is horrific: Those strange red things in the warehouse are probably not plants infected by bacteria as Zhou Yuan and Lao Hu guessed. such as!Perhaps it was Lin He who encountered the same situation as Lin Jing in the warehouse.The body suddenly mutated, and then grew out of him!

But this inference is too shocking.How could Lin He grow a red substance that covered half of the warehouse by himself?At that time, Zhou Yuan could see with his own eyes that most of the walls in the other section of the warehouse were covered with this thing!

Although Lu Ming said he would call in a while, Zhou Yuan called back immediately.After answering the phone, Lu Ming directly asked, "Do you understand?"

"I don't know what's going on in the first two paragraphs. But in the third video, we can deduce one thing from it..."

Lu Ming interrupted him: "Time is tight, let me explain to you directly. The three videos were shot in sequence. The one in the warehouse is actually the first one. The other two are actually about the same thing, that is, Lin The river seems to be making a grave."

"you sure?"

"It's the wooden sign. You may not be able to see it clearly with your mobile phone. You can see it by zooming in on the video on the computer. The last two words on the sign are the tomb. The name of the owner is not clear, but it must be whose tomb." Lu Ming explained.

"Whose grave? Could it be that Lin He killed someone and destroyed the corpse?"

Lu Ming said: "This is what I want you to do: go find that grave, see who it is, and if possible dig it up, and see what was burned in Linhe."

"What!!!" The call was kept on hands-free, Lu Ming's tone seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, and Lao Hu was taken aback when he heard it.His request was beyond Zhou Yuan's imagination.

"Isn't it illegal to steal a grave? Besides, how do we know where this grave is?" Zhou Yuan asked immediately.

Hu Dongdong thought about it seriously: "If there are obvious geographic marks in the video, and you know the approximate range, maybe you can really find this place. But Lu Ming, you have to tell us, why are you doing this?"

Lu Ming explained quickly: "I have a guess, but I still need the final confirmation. I can't tell you now. But what I asked you to do is very important-these three videos, especially the third one. The video clearly told us a fact, didn’t you realize it?”

Zhou Yuan immediately said: "Are you referring to the red substances in the warehouse? I was about to tell you. We guessed that it appeared after Lin He left. Moreover, similar substances appeared after Lin Jing deteriorated. There are many There is a high possibility that these things are all left by Lin He."

Lao Hu interjected: "But I can't explain why there are so many. Could it be that those things will reproduce themselves like moss?"

Lu Ming said "hmm" twice, and didn't show too much interest in their speculation: "This phenomenon is indeed incomprehensible. But let's leave it alone for now. Although the facts I said are very important, they are also very simple. As long as you continue to follow the train of thought just now, you will be able to get a very valuable information."

Zhou Yuan thought about Lu Ming's words carefully, but couldn't make sense of it.

But Lao Hu suddenly became agitated. Even though the phone was on the hands-free, he still picked up the phone and said slowly and solemnly into the microphone: "Lin He, like Lin Jing, has those ghost things growing in his body. But then... ...But when he met Zhou Yuan later, he was fine!"

Hu Dongdong's words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting through layers of fog in Zhou Yuan's mind, and he thought of the key to the matter.

When Lin He met Zhou Yuan in Beiyang City, he looked very normal on the outside.And this video was obviously taken before Zhou Yuan met him, because Lin He died of spontaneous combustion on the night the two met.

What does this mean?This shows that although Lin He once had those weird red substances on his body, it does not mean that there is no cure, but that he can get better!

Similarly, this shows that Lin Jing also has great hope of getting better!
Zhou Yuan became excited: "Lu Ming, you are right. We will look for that grave tomorrow morning, we must find it! Maybe the reason for Lin He's recovery is hidden in it. By the way, you have studied the video, can you judge Where is the specific location?"

Lu Ming's calm and rational analysis aroused Zhou Yuan's emotions.But Lu Ming was not affected by Zhou Yuan's emotions, and his voice was still calm: "The exact location can't be determined, but I don't think it's too far away. Because he returned to the warehouse first, burned things later, and then went to Beiyang City He didn't go to other places during the period, and this is where everything started. So the grave is not near this town, it should be on the mountain near the site of the machinery factory."
