In the Fengtaowan area of Andu City, on the bank of the Jiang'an River, stands an artificially constructed scenic spot covering an area of 30,000 square meters, called Ghost City.
The building was built in 2010 by the local government for tourism development and was later subcontracted to individuals.
In the scenic area, based on the local ghost culture, there are underworld buildings such as the Palace of Hell and the Naihe Bridge, interspersed with some performances to attract tourists.
However, in terms of scale and history, there is a huge gap between this ghost town and the Fengdu ghost town hundreds of miles away, so it is affectionately called the "little ghost town" by the locals!
The tourists who come here to visit are basically incidental to their trip to Andu, so even in the peak tourist season, there are not many tourists here.
For example, today, it was not until ten o'clock in the morning that a sunset red tour group with dozens of people came to visit.
The attraction guide held the microphone and seemed to be working hard to explain, but it could be seen from his slack eyes that he was already tired of this unstable job.
After taking these elderly tourists around the ghost town, they finally entered the last attraction in the scenic area.
“Everyone,” after entering the scenic spot, the tour guide said according to his usual explanation, “This is the legendary eighteenth level of hell!
"So, people, please don't do bad things or do bad things. Otherwise, when you go to the underworld, you will have to go to the eighteen levels of hell to be tortured..."
As he spoke, he led the tourists into the gloomy hall. Inside the hall were three-dimensional figures that were slightly smaller than real people, showing people the tragic scenes of criminals being tortured.
"Look..." the commentator pointed at one of the group of figures and said, "This is the tongue-pulling hell. As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth. We must not be tongue-tied women. Otherwise, these people will sow discord and slander others during their lifetime. , those who lie and deceive others will be sent here to be tortured!
"Look, the little devils use pliers to pull out the sinner's tongue. They don't pull it out all at once, but they can pull it out for a long time... Isn't it scary..."
Although they knew it was fake, the tourists were still frightened and did not dare to say nonsense.
"Well..." As he continued to move forward, the commentator introduced to the next group, "This is the hell of scissors. If a woman is widowed and you instigate her to remarry, then in the underworld, the devil will cut off your scissors. Ten fingers…
"Look at the Iron Tree Hell again. This place is for those villains who try to alienate others. There are sharp knives on the trees. No one wants to be tied to a tree like this...
"This is the Evil Mirror Hell. If someone uses connections to escape guilt in the human world, he will be asked to look in the mirror when he gets here. As soon as he looks in the mirror, his original crime will be revealed in full..."
"Well..." Unexpectedly, when he said this, an old man behind him suddenly couldn't help talking. He patted the guide on the shoulder, pointed at a figure in the Hell of Evil Mirrors and asked, "Tour guide, this What happened to the woman? Was it a mistake?"
Following the old man's reminder, everyone looked together and saw that among the portraits, there was an extra one - a woman!
This woman is about the size of a real person, and she looks out of place with the clay figures in the scenic spot.
What's even more weird is that this woman in red is sitting next to the imp and the punished person. Although she is facing the tourists, her face is covered with a fiery red hijab, like an ancient bride to be married.
But the bride returned to her bride, and in her arms she held a swaddling baby wrapped in white cloth! ! !
"this… "
The guide was very familiar with this place. When he saw such an extra figure, he couldn't help complaining. He thought it was a mistake by the staff of the scenic spot and moved the figure from elsewhere to here.
However, a few seconds later, he was shocked and realized something was wrong. There was no such figure in the entire scenic spot, and there was definitely no life-size one!
this…
Out of curiosity, he almost subconsciously took a step forward, reached out and took off the red hijab on the woman's head.
Whoa…
After taking off the hijab, all the tourists present were shocked!
Oh oh oh...
Exclaiming, they all retreated.
"What... what is this?" The commentator's reaction was a bit slow. He held the red hijab in his hand and carefully looked at the woman's face for a few seconds before saying uncertainly, "This … Isn’t this a human being?”
After saying that, he turned back to look at the tourists, but saw that the tourists had already picked up their mobile phones and cameras and started taking pictures...
…
An hour and a half later, Zhao Yu, Zhang Ling and others arrived at the crime scene in the ghost town.
"What!? Brother Ge, let me dig out your earwax!" Even though Zhao Yu was present, Captain Zhang Ling was so angry that he cursed in the street and shouted at the commentator, "You let them take pictures! Where are the people? !?"
"It's gone..." The commentator turned pale with fright, "It's gone..."
"I'm going to fuck you, you idiot..." Zhang Ling was so angry that he raised his hands as a sign of fighting, but after seeing Zhao Yu, he changed to a clenched fist posture and roared, "Get it back for me quickly, the photo is a Zhang can’t spread the word!
"If things get too big, you will never be able to escape the involvement!"
"Yes! Yes, yes, I'm going now, I'm going right now..." The commentator held his head and wanted to leave, but was held back by Zhao Yu.
"Okay, it's too late!" Zhao Yu said to Ran Tao, "Tell Zeng Ke and let him contact the Internet Security Brigade!"
"Understood!" Ran Tao quickly picked up the phone.
Zhao Yu then turned around and said to the leaders of the scenic spot: "Hurry up and contact the travel agency to see which group it was just now, and stop them! Otherwise, your scenic spot will be closed, and no one will dare to visit you in the future. ?”
"Yes!" The leader of the scenic spot nodded quickly, "We have already contacted you. I didn't expect... I didn't expect it would become such a big deal..."
"Team Leader Zhao..." Having just said this, forensic doctor Zhang Peipei, who was examining the body, suddenly said to Zhao Yu, "Come over and take a look. The deceased... is a man!"
Since completing the Xiangjiang case last time, Zhang Peipei did not follow Zhao Yu and others to Yaoming, but returned to the Criminal Department.
This morning, she just rushed over, but she didn't expect that another case would come out before her luggage was put away.
"What!? A man?" Zhao Yu was shocked, and everyone else was also completely surprised.
When everyone came and took a closer look, they saw the Adam's apple on the deceased's neck.
"What...what are you doing?" Zhang Ling frowned, "Why is he still a man?"
"Leader, captain," at this time, a local forensic doctor said to Zhao and Yu, "the face of the deceased is ferocious, the body is stiff, and there are signs of binding before. On the surface, it should be the same as the Guandi Temple case!"
"Well..." Zhang Ling sighed, "You don't need to tell me to know this. Alas! What we were most worried about has happened!
"It happened in less than four days," Zhang Ling said gloomily, "This is too fast!"
