Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 13 The Evil God's Tribute (13)
Chief Chen gradually began to feel a little weird in his heart, because the sound was very loud and lasted for a long time, it didn't make sense that he was the only one woken up in an alley.

After eating, Section Chief Chen kept thinking about this matter on the way to work, but he didn't think of a reason.After going to work, because of a murder case, he quickly forgot about it when he was working.

What surprised him when he got home at night was that his mother had come back early.Chief Chen said: "Didn't you say you would stay for a month? Why did you come back so early?"

The old lady said: "I'm afraid you can't take care of yourself at home alone. I'm not talking about you. You haven't cooked a pot of rice for so many days. Can eating those things outside every day be nutritious?"

Section Chief Chen said: "It's hard for you to go out, why do you still miss me, I'm already such an adult."

The old lady said: "No matter how much you are my son, if you don't worry about you, who else can you think about?"

In the evening, the old lady cooked a lot of dishes, and Section Chief Chen had a big appetite and ate happily.The old lady smiled and said, "How about it, mother?"

Chief Chen's mouth was full of things, and he agreed with a vague "uuuuuuuuuuuu."

The old lady said: "Then you have to repay me, think about what you should do?"

Section Chief Chen swallowed the braised pork with great difficulty and said, "How about I beat your back?"

The old lady smiled and said, "No need."

Chief Chen said: "Then tell me what I should do?"

The old lady said: "I don't ask for anything, as long as you listen to me in the future, can you do it?"

Section Chief Chen didn't even think about it: "That's for sure, you are my mother, who else should I listen to if I don't listen to you?"

The old lady nodded in relief and said, "This is a good boy."

I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep well last night, because I'm too tired today, or because my mother feels at ease when she comes home. Anyway, Section Chief Chen slept until dawn, so I don't know if there was that strange noise in the middle of the night.

After more than ten days like this, one morning, Section Chief Chen was sitting in the office reading the newspaper when he received a call from his father. The old man said over there: "Boy, how are we doing if we haven't been at home for more than ten days? Can you cook?"

Hearing that his father's words were wrong, Section Chief Chen was about to ask, but suddenly he understood, and was in a cold sweat. The old man waited for a while and said, "What are you doing? I'm asking you something?"

Chief Chen took a deep breath and said, "No, I'm cooking at home."

The old man hummed and said, "You're not young anymore, it's time to learn to take care of yourself, remember to take care of your hygiene, I'll let your mother talk to you."

Chief Chen didn't listen to what the old lady said on the phone. He didn't even know when he hung up the phone. He was really scared. What he had only heard before would happen to him. Who is "she" and why did she come to her? Could it be..., it shouldn't be possible, she didn't offend them, she was just doing business.

Section Chief Chen received a materialist education since he was a child, and never believed in ghosts and gods, but is all this fake?

The more Section Chief Chen thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was drowsy all day long, and when it was time to get off work, he stepped out of the office with every step.He didn't dare to go back home, so he ate something hastily outside, and then went to the movie theater. From the evening until late at night, there were only two people left in the huge movie theater at the end, and Section Chief Chen didn't have any at all. He cares about the plot, he just avoids the opportunity to be alone.

Although he is very sleepy now, he never dared to go home, and he didn't know how long it had passed. When Section Chief Chen heard the people behind him sighing, he immediately became frightened, because the voice was similar to Lao Wang's despairing sigh. The sound is too similar.Chief Chen will never forget the helpless, angry, and disappointed tone of Lao Wang when he talked to him, as well as his frequent sighs, but Lao Wang is really dead, right?

Thinking of this, the sweat on Chief Chen's forehead gradually seeped out, he didn't dare to turn his head back, the head on his neck had already become heavy, but the back of his spine felt chills.

After an unknown amount of time, the movie finally ended, and the staff turned on the lights in the theater and began to clear the theater.Section Chief Chen had no reason to stay, so he could only get up, but when he mustered up the courage to turn around, he found that the hall was empty, and he was actually the only one.

The outside was as empty as the inside, and the pale streetlights made people feel that the light was also cold. Section Chief Chen searched the dark corner nervously, but couldn't see anything.

In order to strengthen his courage, he took out a cigarette, took out a match, and rubbed it hard, only to hear a puff, and a strange green fire came out of the match, and Section Chief Chen was so frightened that he was about to throw away the cigarette in his hand immediately. Matches, but this match burned too fast, it burned to the head in an instant, and burned his fingers, but it didn't feel that hot, but made Section Chief Chen feel chilly.In surprise, he looked at the match box through the street lamp, and it was not the kind he usually used, but Section Chief Chen could be sure that it was definitely not this box of matches that he had been using before, and it seemed that the matches had been swapped.Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, he saw a few small characters written on the matchbox. Chief Chen held it up to his eyes, and saw that it said: "The thumb and index finger intersect to form a circle. Left eye, do the same, hurry! hurry!"

Section Chief Chen acted according to the above words in hesitation, but as soon as his fingers were parallel to his eyes, he immediately screamed in fright, and he also stepped back a few steps, and sat down on the ground.Because he saw a very strange scene through his fingers, a scene different from what he saw with his eyes appeared in his left eye, which was completely different from what he saw with his right eye.In that left eye, he saw all kinds of strange trees, cats with thick bones, and "people" with strange actions.

But when he put down his hand, his left eye returned to "normal".At this point, Section Chief Chen couldn't bear it any longer, and he said loudly, "Are you crazy? I just follow the rules, so what can I do? Can it work if you pester me like this?"

The empty neighborhood made his voice very clear, but there was no answer.The wild cat hiding somewhere in the distance was frightened by him, and also barked a few times, and then everything returned to calm.

Section Chief Chen stood up, nodded and said, "Okay, since you are forcing me, let me see what you can do with me." I finally realized that it was useless wherever he went.

When he got home, he saw that the light was still on in the small courtyard. He pushed open the courtyard door and was about to stride in when he suddenly saw the "old lady" standing upright in the courtyard, looking at him with a strange expression. Section Chief Chen The cold sweat immediately broke out again, and all the previous "determinations" were instantly forgotten.

The "two people" just looked at each other for a while, and the "old lady" sighed, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's have dinner together."

Now that he has faced it, of course he will not run away again. Section Chief Chen plucked up his courage and walked into the kitchen. The first thing he saw was the three small black tombstones in the middle of the table, which belonged to Lao Wang's family.

Section Chief Chen sat down slowly, and the old lady brought the dishes to the table without any haste, without saying a word, Section Chief Chen said, "What do you guys want?"

The old lady said: "Why do you ask that? I just hope you have enough food and a better life, and then you can solve the case."

Chief Chen said: "I really can't help you with your family's affairs. Why do you bother me so much?"

Suddenly, the light in the room turned into a ball of green flames, fluttering up and down, illuminating everything in green, and the old lady had become Lao Wang's wife, if Section Chief Chen had enough mentality Prepared, or fell back in fright, fell to the ground.Section Chief Chen saw Lao Wang looking at him with a white face.

Chief Chen's liver and gallbladder were torn, but his excellent psychological quality kept him from screaming.He forced himself to stand up against the corner of the wall, and said, "Are you people or ghosts? I don't believe there are ghosts in this world."

But Lao Wang didn't speak, just stared at him, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly the lights in the room returned to their previous state.The old lady was gone, and so were the tombstones.Section Chief Chen was surprised to find Lao Wang's shadow reflected on the glass window of the kitchen, and from his point of view, it should be his current appearance.

Section Chief Chen hurriedly went to the mirror in the room, and what made him dumbfounded was that the person in the mirror was really—Old Wang.

Section Chief Chen sat down on the bed exhausted, and Lao Wang in the mirror also sat down, Section Chief Chen murmured: "Why, why?" talking.

Chief Chen got angry, grabbed the stool and threw it like a mirror, but what followed was not the sound of glass breaking, but the stool suddenly disappeared.

Looking at Lao Wang's expression in the mirror, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, it was very weird.Section Chief Chen became suspicious, and stretched out his hand to touch it. Unexpectedly, after touching the glass, it would move like a stream of water, and his hand could penetrate it.Section Chief Chen immediately went through his hands, and then his whole body.What surprised him was that there was another world behind the mirror. He saw the surrounding woods and creeks with beautiful scenery, warm sunshine and leisurely scenery.

Section Chief Chen became more and more confused. He estimated that strange things would happen overnight in his life. He walked forward a few steps and suddenly heard a few people say viciously: "You just want to hurt people, don't think we don't Know."

At this time a man said: "Brother, please do me a favor, I really don't want to harm anyone, this matter has nothing to do with me."

The man before said: "Don't fart, pretend I don't know, brothers dig a hole for me and bury him."

Seeing that a murder was about to happen right in front of his eyes, Section Chief Chen followed the sound to find it. In a small forest, four big men tied up a thin man like a rice dumpling and put him on the ground, and then began to dig. pit.The man pleaded bitterly, but they couldn't arouse their sympathy at all. Chief Chen said loudly: "You are committing a crime, which is called disregarding human life."

No one paid attention to him, not even the person who was about to be victimized looked at him.Section Chief Chen was in a hurry, so he stepped forward to pull one of them, but it was beyond his expectation again.His hand penetrated through the opponent's body. It turned out that everything around him was an illusion. After he tried the surrounding vegetation, everything was like this.

Section Chief Chen could only watch helplessly as they dug the hole and said to the man, "You should be able to expect the result if you use evil methods to harm people, and death is not a loss."

After saying that, he threw the man into the pit together with a black piece of wood beside him, and then shoveled soil to bury him alive.After finishing the work, one of them slashed the sickle in his hand into the tree trunk next to him, and carved a very strange figure with one knife. After the carving, the four left without looking back.

Section Chief Chen knew that he would never be able to dig him out again, so he had to go back home by the same route. At this time, everything was as usual, and he was no longer Lao Wang in the mirror, and the mirror became impenetrable.

19. Ghost Talisman

He really didn't know what he had just experienced, whether it was real or not, he lay on the bed with his eyes open until dawn before falling asleep.

He didn't know how long he slept this time, but it was already dark when he woke up.Section Chief Chen didn't bother to ask people whether it was the first night or the number of nights. He made some food, waited until late at night to open the door, and walked to the deserted street to circle his fingers. When I put it in front of my eyes again, there was nothing.

He thought for a while, then took out a match and lit another one, and the green flame went out with a pop.Section Chief Chen looked at his fingers again, and saw a thin shallow mark on his thumb.He thought about it for a long time, and finally got up the courage to put his fingers in front of his eyes, and suddenly saw a pale man standing straight in front of him, almost nose to nose.Section Chief Chen quickly took a few steps back in fright, but the "opponent" floated to the side with a blank expression.

Section Chief Chen could clearly see the "objects" on the street that should belong to another world, floating around deftly on the streets he was familiar with, but that was all. "They" didn't seem to notice the existence of Section Chief Chen, and they didn't behave strangely.

He took a deep breath and said, "Can you give me some instructions? I really don't know anything."

He asked twice, and the silent night sky remained the same without any abnormality.Section Chief Chen was sitting on the side of the road exhausted, when suddenly he heard an unusually cold voice: "What are you looking for?"

Although Section Chief Chen was still taken aback, he was much better than before. He turned his head calmly and saw a "person" who hid all his body in a black windbreaker and sat beside him at some point. .

Chief Chen said, "Who are you?"

The man said: "You might as well just ask me if I am a human or a ghost."

Section Chief Chen thought for a while and said, "That's right, are you a human or a ghost?"

The man said: "Actually, I really want to be a ghost, but I am a human."

Hearing what he said, Section Chief Chen calmed down a bit and said, "But I don't think you are really human."

The humane said: "Really? I think what you said seems to make sense. It's hard for others to believe that I'm human when I make this appearance in the middle of the night in an empty street, but I am human." .”

Chief Chen said: "Okay, even if you are human, why are you looking for me?

The man said: "It's not me looking for you, but you looking for me."

Chief Chen said: "I don't know you at all, why do I need you?"

The man said: "What was the first sentence you said just now, do you remember?"

Chief Chen's heart moved, and he said, "Then can you give me some hints?"

The man said: "Yes, I can give you a hint, but you have to understand one thing. This is a very dangerous thing. If you do it rashly, you may get into big trouble. You have to think about it yourself."

Chief Chen said: "I'm already troublesome enough now, and I have nothing to be afraid of, just tell me."

The man said: "Okay, since you can figure it out, I won't stop you. I'll give you an address, and you can go there by yourself tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he took out a note from his body. The prepared things were handed over.

Section Chief Chen reached out to take it, looked at the man in black suspiciously and said, "Can you tell me who you are?"

The man in black smiled and said: "Since we don't know each other, why bother to inquire about the identity, you don't know if you tell me, go and get it done tomorrow, that's the most important thing." It didn't take long before disappearing into the night.

Section Chief Chen unfolded the note and saw that it was a place name, which belonged to a place on the outskirts of Beijing.He didn't delay any longer, and went back to sleep, and when he woke up, it was almost noon, so he hurriedly got himself some food.At this time, he had no intention of going to work, and he didn't ask for leave, so he got on the bus directly to go there.

On the way, Section Chief Chen was also a little worried that his father knew that he was not going to work, because his father was the old chief of the security bureau, and he was also an unusually old-fashioned and stubborn old man.After retiring, the successor came over several times hoping to lure him, a talented student who graduated from Peking University, to the bureau, but his father refused to agree. It was not until the leader finally issued a letter of guarantee that he would not give his son special treatment. Loose mouth.But fortunately, Section Chief Chen was really capable, and he solved several major cases within a short time after entering the bureau, and the old man gradually felt relieved.If the old man finds out that he dares to absent from work, the consequences may be more serious than hell.

Thinking of this, Chief Chen shivered involuntarily, but he couldn't help himself now, but no one would believe this matter if he told anyone, so it was definitely not a good reason to ask for leave. true.

After getting out of the car, according to the address provided on the note, Section Chief Chen came to a wooded area with singing birds and fragrant flowers, and a farm house in the distance.At this moment, Section Chief Chen was shocked because he found that this place was exactly the same as what he saw in the mirror.
