Seeing this bizarre scene, Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue and I looked at each other in bewilderment. We all understood in our hearts that the woman in front of us was probably the fuse of this supernatural event and the first person to "resurrect from the dead".
Before, when I heard Bai Qi and Director Yang talk about this woman being able to talk to things we can't see in the air, I thought they were just too scared and didn't carefully observe her every move. But now that I have seen this scene with my own eyes, even though I have already prepared myself mentally, I still feel a little guilty.
Because the way this woman spoke and the look in her eyes seemed as if she was talking to an old friend, but we couldn't see this old friend at all.
Bai Longfei said with a guilty conscience: "Ji Wen, this woman can't really see ghosts, right? She can't pretend to be so convincing, right?"
"Do you believe me when I say I can see ghosts? Let her perform a one-man show for a while, and then we'll go find her later and see me expose her on the spot!"
I don’t know if it was because I had something urgent to do and had to find the two police officers, one fat and one thin, or because I was really a little scared of the woman in front of me, but at this moment I had an urge to leave quickly. So I took Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue and walked towards the two police officers, no longer paying attention to the strange woman behind me.
The two policemen saw us from a distance, but probably because there were many tourists in the village, they ignored us. After we stepped forward and introduced ourselves, the two policemen excitedly dropped their cigarette butts, stood up and saluted us neatly.
In fact, I have been in the special case team for such a long time, and I don’t know whether I am considered an official or not. After all, with the knowledge level of a high school graduate, I don’t know much about these things. But I don’t care about this issue anymore, because every time I go to any place, the people in our special case team are very respected by the local police, which satisfies my little vanity.
I immediately said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please show me the before and after photos of the two people who 'resurrected'. And tell me about the red-dressed ghost girl you saw last night."
I didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point. In fact, as early as when I was at the police station, I asked Chief Yang for photos of the two so-called resurrected people in their two lives. However, Chief Yang said that when he came to Kaimen Village last time, he left them with the two police officers in front of him and did not take them back. That's why I was so eager to find these two police officers to see the information in their hands.
The two policemen did not waste any time and immediately took us to an empty house where they were resting. They handed me a file and then the thin policeman began to talk incessantly about his encounter with a female ghost in red last night. I don't know if he exaggerated or not, but in any case, to me, what he said was like something from a fantasy novel. It's a pity that such a person doesn't write novels.
While he was talking, I was also carefully looking at the photos on the document. The record was quite detailed. Not only were there photos, but also a comparison of the past and present lives of the two people who had "resurrected from the dead." However, after reading this document, I was immediately confused.
I don't need to elaborate on the information. The woman's name is Liu Shufen. This name sounds a bit rustic, so let's call her Shufen for now. This Shufen was 29 years old when she disappeared three years ago, and now she is 30 years old. I haven't read other detailed information. The other man is called Lin Dadan. What kind of a name is this? No wonder others call him Dalin. This Dalin is a bit interesting. He was 24 years old when he disappeared three years ago, but now he is 44 years old. In terms of age, the age span of both people is a bit problematic.
However, when I compared their photos three years ago with those now, I felt even more confused. I used to think that these two people were the same people from three years ago, but they just changed their identities after plastic surgery. But looking at the photos now, the two people are completely different in appearance, skin, weight, and even height. Even if they had plastic surgery, it couldn't be so thorough. They are clearly two different people in their past and present lives.
If it wasn't plastic surgery, then the current situation of Shufen and Dalin could only be explained by another explanation. They must have learned about their past through some means, or directly talked to the real Shufen and Dalin, and then pretended to be them and stayed here.
I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing. What on earth do these two people want to do by using the gimmick of borrowing corpses to stay in Kaimen Village? Their behavior is so strange, so their purpose must be unknown. I must find out their purpose in the shortest possible time, because I have a vague feeling that something is about to happen.
After reading the information, I handed it to Lin Yingxue and Bai Longfei with a heavy heart, and then asked the thin policeman to take me to see the place where he encountered the ghost yesterday. So the thin policeman took me to the toilet behind the house. The toilets in this village are all open-air, with only low walls on all four sides. If I were to go to the toilet, I would probably have to wait until midnight when there was no one around, otherwise if a tall person passed by, everything inside would be visible.
The thin police officer pointed at the toilet door and said, "I walked here yesterday, and suddenly I heard someone laughing shrilly above my head. When I looked up, I saw the female ghost in red floating above my head. Her nails were blood red, blood was oozing from all seven orifices, her eyeballs were completely white, and her hair was disheveled. I was almost scared to death!"
The thin police officer said with lingering fear, it seems that he was really scared last night, and I looked up at the top of the thin police officer's head and found that there was no building above his head. The only taller building was two or three meters away from the toilet. If the person dressed as the red ghost last night needed to hang herself up with a rope to scare people, then where was she hung? In this case, it is impossible for the thin police officer to look up and see the red ghost floating above his head.
"Are you sure it's this location? Maybe you remembered it wrong in your panic?"
The thin police officer said confidently, "Of course I am sure! I saw it when I was about to open the toilet door! I have thought before that maybe someone hung down with a rope to scare me, but it is impossible to do that in this position, so I think I must have encountered a ghost!"
The thin police officer said it so vividly that I didn't know what to say. I wondered why there were so many strange things in this village. I would let Bailong fly to the roof and see if there was any way to make the red-clothed female ghost appear in the air yesterday as the thin police officer said.
The thin policeman and I returned to the room. At this time, Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue had finished reading the information. I just glanced at Lin Yingxue, and she understood what I meant. She immediately put the information into her bag and did not return it to the two policemen.
"Sirs, what should we do next?" The fat police officer spoke at this time, and asked when we would have dinner so that he could prepare in advance.
I looked at the time and it was almost half past five, so I said, "You should prepare dinner first. We will go to the parties involved and ask them to see what tricks they can come up with!"
Seeing that we didn't believe in the "reincarnation" theory, the fat policeman sighed helplessly and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. The thin policeman took Lin Yingxue and me out of the room and went to Shufen and Dalin's home. As for Bai Longfei, he went to the roof to check if there was any clue about the female ghost in red according to what I said.
It was almost dusk, and the number of travelers wandering the streets had decreased a lot. It seemed that they were all looking for empty houses to prepare dinner and rest. At this moment, I heard the sound of some machines operating in the distance, as if construction was underway somewhere.
I curiously asked the thin police officer why there were people doing construction here. The thin police officer sighed and said, "It is said that a large group is planning to build a tourist resort here. It just so happens that the news of the haunted Kaimen Village has been widely spread recently, and they plan to make some money from this name."
I thought to myself that these people really have business acumen. No wonder I am still a poor guy. They can hype up any little gimmick. It seems that there are no born rich people, only people who don't use their brains.
In fact, based on the scenery and geographical location here, it is entirely possible to build a tourist resort. I believe that even without the gimmick of this incident, it would still be able to attract many tourists to visit.
I was just daydreaming when a gloomy-looking middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly came up to me. The thin policeman obviously knew him and immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
I turned around and asked the thin policeman who this man was. Unexpectedly, the thin policeman said that this man was actually Shufen’s husband!
When I heard that the other party was Shufen's husband, I immediately became alert. I was just about to ask how this person was sure that Shufen today was his missing wife three years ago. I must treat this issue seriously!
Shufen's husband obviously didn't know that Lin Yingxue and I were also policemen. He sighed and walked over to hand the thin policeman a cigarette, then said helplessly: "Why do all these strange things happen to our family? Just now, my Shufen said that Xiaofang, who disappeared with her three years ago, will come back tomorrow. Maybe this time Xiaofang will also come back in the form of a reborn body. Policeman, do you think I should ask a great immortal to help my Shufen get rid of the evil spirit? She has been talking nonsense all day, how can she live in the future?"
