Please Close Your Eyes At Night

Chapter 20: There are ghosts underwater

Views:

In Li Meilin's office, I looked at the fast food in front of me and protested dissatisfiedly: "Hey! I was dragged by you as a coolie just after the exam. I won't talk about the hard work. At least you have to show some sincerity, right? Just treat me to fast food?"

Originally, I was planning to take a vacation after the exam, so I wanted to find a better restaurant to treat myself, but I ended up eating fast food with no nutritional value with Li Meilin.

Li Meilin chewed the food in her mouth slowly, raised her eyebrows and looked at me: "Otherwise? How can you be sincere according to what you say?"

I gave her a thief smile: "Of course, I'll be invited to a restaurant to eat, or go to your house and cook for me."

Li Meilin nodded expressionlessly: "It makes sense."

"So you agreed?" I said with a smile on my face, "Let's go, I'll go to the supermarket to buy groceries now, and then we'll go to your house..."

"Stop!"

"What's wrong?" The smile on my face froze immediately, and I looked at her in confusion.

"Did I say I was going to my house to cook for you?"

"If you don't go to your house, you can go to a restaurant!" For me, even if I can't eat Li Meilin's food, going out to eat is better than eating fast food for a few dollars.

"Did I say I'd take you to a restaurant?"

"But you just said clearly that what I said makes sense."

"You said it too, I just said that what you said makes sense." Li Meilin glanced at me with disgust, then continued to eat with her head down, ignoring me.

Now I have an urge to rush up and whip this woman fiercely. If you don't agree, forget it. Why do you want to give me hope

For the rest of the time, I was indignant and sipped the rice into my mouth one bite at a time, staring at Li Meilin, as if every bite I ate was eating her meat.

Halfway through the meal, Li Meilin's cell phone suddenly rang. She put down her chopsticks, slowly picked up the tissue paper on the table and wiped her mouth before connecting to the phone.

I looked at her and pouted, this woman is really troublesome, she has to wipe her mouth before answering the phone.

"Okay, I see, I'll rush over right away."

Li Meilin put away her phone with a heavy expression, stood up and said, "Don't eat it! Follow me."

"What's wrong? I haven't finished my meal..."

Under her unkind gaze, I could only resign myself to say goodbye to my unfinished fast food. Although I don't like to eat it, it's better than nothing.

The police car drove fast in the setting sun, neither of us spoke a word along the way, only the sound of the air conditioner sizzled in the small space inside the car.

Judging from Li Meilin's dignified expression, I guess something must have happened at the reservoir. As for what happened, I can't guess for the time being, but I vaguely think it has something to do with the salvage of the reservoir.

Could it be that something important was salvaged? Like a murder weapon or something

The police car drove all the way. When we reached the reservoir, we just stopped the car and a young policeman hurriedly greeted us.

After Li Meilin got out of the car, she asked urgently, "Xiao Wang, what's going on? Tell me more carefully."

I have an impression of this policeman named Xiao Wang. He is the police officer who is responsible for setting up the cordon and watching over the murder scene. Seeing that his face turned pale at this time, I guessed that something terrible must have happened to him, so I took the lead in comforting him and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, say something slowly."

Xiao Wang still seemed to be in the shock before, he couldn't help swallowing, and said with some difficulty: "The staff we sent to the reservoir to salvage came back empty-handed not long after he entered the water. When he took off his oxygen mask, We found him unusually pale, and... and he..."

"And what's wrong? Say it!" Li Meilin suddenly interrupted, her cold eyes shot at Xiao Wang, and there was a hint of chill in her tone.

Seeing Li Meilin's anger, Xiao Wang was so frightened that he couldn't care less about his fear, and quickly said: "After the staff member took off the oxygen mask, he said 'ghost, ghost' with a frightened face. , and then he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground with convulsions of his limbs. After a while, he lost his breath and died completely."

After Xiao Wang finished speaking, his body couldn't help but shivered again, and he didn't know whether he was frightened by the frightening scene just now, or was frightened by Li Meilin.

"Let's go! Let's go and have a look." I said lightly to Li Meilin, and took the lead to walk towards the reservoir.

I thought the bottom of this reservoir was weird before, and I couldn't tell what was weird. The staff member died not long after they went down. According to Xiao Wang's description, he seemed to have seen a terrifying scene under the reservoir.

What the hell did he see? Why is the word 'ghost' mentioned before death

With all kinds of confusion, when I saw the dead salvage man's body, I found that his eyes were wide open, and his facial expression was also very frightened. It seemed that he had indeed seen something terrifying under the reservoir.

If he insisted that he saw a ghost, I would not believe it.

Not to mention that I am not a superstitious person, even if there are ghosts in this world, there will be a kind of energy restricting them. Otherwise, those who have been killed will not have to turn into ghosts to seek revenge for the murderer

After the last case of a headless female corpse, I learned from Wei Ruxue that not only is there a drug that can cause people to fall into a coma through airborne transmission, but there is also a drug that can cause people to hallucinate.

So is the drug also present in the water in the reservoir? So the salvage crew saw ghosts underwater

If it's just hallucinations, why are the salvage workers foaming at the mouth before they die

I've heard of cases of people being incontinent due to being too frightened, and the more serious cases are nothing more than being scared to death or scared to death.

I took out the silver needle and carefully inserted it into the esophagus of the deceased. After pulling it out, I found that the silver needle had turned black.

"The reservoir was actually poisoned!" Li Meilin looked at the blackened silver needle and analyzed it coldly.

I nodded and looked up at Xiao Wang who was standing beside Li Meilin, "Brother Wang, please go and call the manager of this reservoir. I have something to ask him."

To find out what happened to the water in this reservoir, I think we can start an investigation from the reservoir administrator. If the water in this reservoir is really poisoned, it is impossible for the reservoir administrator to do nothing. Know.

After Xiao Wang left, Li Meilin approached me, lowered her voice and asked, "You asked me to send someone down to the reservoir to salvage, why did you ask me to disperse the reporters and the crowd first, did you find out that the water in the reservoir was contaminated early in the morning? question?"

Although Li Meilin asked me, I could hear the blame contained in her words.

"After checking the female corpse, I took a look at the side of the reservoir and found that the water in the reservoir was not turbid, but I could not see the situation under the water, nor did I see any raised fish or shrimp. Under these circumstances, the reservoir will not be built too deep, and I feel that the clarity of the water in the reservoir can be seen clearly at the bottom of the water for tens of meters."

Li Meilin's face became more and more gloomy: "Then why didn't you remind me before? Let us also take precautions?"

I raised my eyebrows to look at her. Her tone was clearly blaming me for the death of the staff member. I couldn't help but feel a little anger in my heart. I replied angrily, "I don't have the ability to predict!"

After a pause, I continued to say sternly: "And I just think the bottom of the reservoir is suspicious, but I don't know that the water in the reservoir is poisonous, and I don't know that the salvage workers will die! Captain Li, are you satisfied with this answer? "

Li Meilin was a little unhappy when she saw me, so she did not continue to discuss this issue with me. As the person in charge of this case, she is responsible for the deaths of her subordinates.

But I really don't know what's going to happen. The staff member is dead. We don't know what he saw under the water. Does the water in the reservoir have hallucinogenic effects? Pending verification.

After a while, Xiao Wang came back in a hurry, and the first sentence he said was: "The reservoir administrator is gone!"

"Gone?" Li Meilin asked with a frown, "When did it happen?"

"This is not clear. When I went to find him, I found that he was gone."

Li Meilin's face became more and more gloomy, and she immediately ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to look for it, and you must find someone for me."

"Yes, Team Li." Xiao Wang led the way, and it could be seen that facing Li Meilin, he was under too much pressure.

After Xiao Wang left, Li Meilin frowned and asked me, "Do you think this reservoir administrator is the murderer? When he found out that the situation was wrong, he absconded in fear of crime?"

"I don't know, the most important thing at the moment is to find people first." It's hard to speculate on things without basis, and I can only give Li Meilin this answer.

Li Meilin was in a bad mood at this time, and she fell silent with a gloomy face.

I broke the silence and asked, "Did you find the person who called the police after finding the woman's body?"

Li Meilin shook her head: "Not yet."

I was a little puzzled, and my brows were tightly locked together: "This is strange. It stands to reason that since he chose to call the police after discovering the body, he should wait for the police to come and make a record. But judging from the current situation of the other party, it seems that he I didn't want the police to find him at all, and if that's the case, why did you choose to call the police?"

"Could it be that the other party is afraid of trouble and worried that the police will suspect him?"

"The possibility is almost nonexistent."

"Then is there another possibility that the person who called the police is actually the administrator of this reservoir?"

After being reminded by Li Meilin, I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you find out the user information of that alarm phone before? Didn't you check the reservoir administrator?"

"The user information found is not him, but now I suspect that he used someone else's mobile phone to call the police, or why did it suddenly disappear?"

In the face of Li Meilin's guess, I was not sure for a while.

Why did the reservoir manager suddenly disappear

Did he really abscond from the crime as Li Meilin guessed
