I handed Shi Lei's USB flash drive to Viagra, let him play it on the computer, and waited with anticipation for the weird picture that would appear. Others seemed to be very interested in this video, and they all gathered around the computer to watch it. Miaomiao sat next to me with a large snack and asked me if I wanted to eat it. It felt like watching a movie.
However, the first half of the horror blockbuster isn't anything spectacular, even downright boring, as all we see on screen is a man in a poor sleeping position. Of course, this male protagonist is Shi Lei, who is standing behind us and is restless.
We all stared at the screen, expecting a shocking image to appear in the next moment, but five minutes later, the screen was still only able to see Shi Lei who was sleeping. I thought the mysterious man he was talking about didn't appear so soon, so I asked Viagra to pull the progress bar back to save time.
Pulling back the time on the progress bar for more than an hour, the picture changed. Shi Lei no longer had a bad sleeping position, but sat on the bed. In order not to miss the wonderful picture, I asked Viagra to pull the progress bar forward a little, back when Shi Lei hadn't sat up yet, and then let him speed up the playback speed until Shi Lei made a move to return to the normal playback speed.
In the picture, Shi Lei sat up slowly, like a bed-ridden student, who was reluctant to climb up after being reprimanded by his mother. However, after being lazy, all he showed was anger, and he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Although there is sound in the video, his position is obviously not a short distance from the microphone. Even if the volume of the speaker is turned up to the maximum, he still cannot hear what he is saying.
"Give me some time." Viagra was very proactive this time, processing the video immediately without me speaking. Although I don't understand how he operates, I think it should be to use amplification software to amplify the sound of the video.
Viagra didn't take much time to process the video. Although there was a lot of noise during playback, I could finally hear Shi Lei's slightly angry voice when he got up from bed: "Who is it!"
This should be the first time when Shi Lei was knocked on the window, but the weird picture he expected did not appear. The picture of the video was limited to his bed and bedside table, and the window did not appear in the picture. But it doesn't matter. He claimed to have had a conversation with the mysterious man. As long as another voice can be heard in the video, then what he said may be true.
Everyone around the computer held their breath, ready to listen to the voice that might come from the purgatory of the underworld, but what we were waiting for was Shi Lei's "No". In the picture, he lay down and went to sleep after speaking, while outside the picture we looked at each other, puzzled by his actions.
However, this doubt is fleeting, because the fact is already very obvious, Shi Lei's so-called terrible experience has never happened. Perhaps, instead of wasting time with him here, I should take him to Xiaona and give him an assessment of his mental state. So, I said to him angrily: "Mr. Shi, we have already seen the video, and the mysterious person you mentioned not only does not appear in the picture, but also does not even have a voice, should you explain it to me? "
"Trust me, I really didn't lie, you will know if you keep watching!" He is still insisting on his beliefs.
Anyway, I spent a morning with him, and I didn't care about wasting more than ten minutes, so I asked Viagra to adjust the progress bar of the video again and quickly watch the following content.
The second half didn't bring us any surprises either, the content was exactly as he said, only one opponent was missing. In the whole video, he is the only one doing a one-man show. The mysterious person he mentioned has never appeared at all. Not only has he not been able to see anyone, but he has not even had any evidence to prove his appearance, such as shadows and voices.
Although the facts were in front of him, Shi Lei insisted that what he said was the truth, and he didn't tell a lie. This time I was at the point where I was speechless, so I gave Zhen Zhen a wink, and together they pulled him aside and pressed him on the chair.
I opened the file folder to look up his previous transcripts, and said indifferently, "Mr. Shi, according to the transcripts you made in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, you resigned from your job at Locke Company yesterday. Have you ever had any unpleasantness during your work? or did the company do something unfair to you?"
He was probably frightened by us, and kept shaking his head: "No, no, I know what you are thinking, although I am not very happy at work, but the company's treatment is not bad, if it is not for this This is a terrible thing, and I don't need to take the initiative to lose this job. You should know that it is not easy to find a decent job now."
What he said is not without reason. Now the economy is sluggish, and many people are worried that their jobs will not be guaranteed. If there is no major problem, who would resign on their own initiative? Maybe he did have a problem that would make him quit his job, but as things stand, it's definitely not what he calls "the hell". It seems that to deal with this case, we have to find a breakthrough in him, and of course the breakthrough I am referring to is how to get him to admit that he lied.
Just as I was thinking about how to force him to come in, a rare visitor suddenly came to the office.
"Well, it turns out that you are all staying here. I thought you were all busy, so I brought the autopsy report. If I knew, I should have made a phone call first." hand to me.
I pinched my nose and took the report, and said disgustedly, "Who asked you to bring the report, I don't remember that there is a case in hand that needs to trouble you, the thousand-year-old ghoul." Then I used the report as a fan and fanned him away. Miaomiao even sprayed the air freshener directly on him because of the lingering corpse odor on his body.
"It's what your boss said." He didn't evade, but added helplessly: "Do you need to do this to me? I also have self-esteem."
"Anyway, you're used to it, it's just like you can't smell the stench on your own." I gave him a blank look and ignored him, casually flipping through the contents of the report and letting him greet him himself.
This is the autopsy report of a deceased named Yang Zhong. Although I have no special impression of this name, I was attracted by this report after just a few glances. The reason is that his death was very strange, and it can even be said that It's fun to die. According to the report, the cause of death of the deceased was drowning. In other words, he was drowned in formalin. What's even more strange is that apart from the collision marks on the waist, the deceased had no scars caused by other external forces. Based on this inference, he most likely committed suicide by falling headfirst into the formalin container.
It's hard to imagine anyone using formalin to commit suicide, not to mention how disgusting the smell is, just finding enough to drown is no easy task. A basin of liquid is impossible for a person to commit suicide by drowning, because when the brain is on the verge of hypoxia, the survival instinct will make him try his best to restore his breathing. If it is not affected by external forces, it is impossible to drown. Similar to pinching yourself. However, according to the various indications in the report, the deceased was indeed drowned by himself in the formalin container, which makes people feel puzzled.
However, this doubt was quickly cleared up, but at the same time it brought me new doubts, because I found that the work unit of the deceased was actually Locke Company, and the scene of the incident was the company's storage workshop, and the time was National Day. the night before.
Shi Lei once mentioned that the Locke company used metal boxes filled with formalin to store corpses. I think Yang Zhong probably drowned in these boxes. He died on the eve of National Day, and Shi Lei claimed to be hell on the Mid-Autumn Festival three days later. Are these two events related
Whether the two things are related, I can't make a judgment yet. But what is certain is that the boss must think that the two have a great relationship, or else he will not let Liu Nian send the autopsy report.
"It turns out that you also graduated from doctoral medicine, so I'm your senior brother!" I don't know if it was because of "smells like each other" that after only a short time in the past, Shi Lei, who had never met before, was already talking about the mountains.
Perhaps because of meeting old friends in a foreign land, Shi Lei, who used to be like a defeated cock, suddenly became active and talked endlessly with fleeting years. After telling Liu Nian about his terrible experience, the topic of the two of them switched to the campus, talking about everything from the pig-like meals in the cafeteria to the last remaining beauties in the department.
"Is the dormitory still full of cockroaches like before?" The more he chatted, the more eager he was.
"It's too much to go into the sea, why does Professor Chen tell us to catch cockroaches for autopsy when we have nothing to do?" Shi Lei, who was in high spirits at this time, was completely different from just now.
"Is it Professor Chen Yu? I'm his student too!" Liu Nian was so happy that he hugged each other with open arms.
Shi Lei didn't care about the smell of corpse on his body, hugged him warmly, and said with a smile: "It seems that we are really destined. You must have suffered a lot from Professor Chen when you were in school, right?"
"Of course, he is famous for being a sadist!" Liu Nian showed a lingering look on his face. Obviously, he was probably miserable by this Professor Chen, but he immediately laughed again: "Did he arrest you to keep the cold storage? I just He was arrested and guarded for three days when he was in his class."
"You're lucky that you only stayed for three days, but I was locked up by him for a week! There was a timid guy who was locked up by him for half a month. He was almost scared crazy, and then he didn't dare to fuck him again. The class is over, and immediately apply for transfer to the Department of Spirituality."
"I didn't expect that Professor Chen is more ruthless now than in the past!" Liu Nian was slightly surprised, and asked again: "Then did he ask you to dig materials for specimens?"
Shi Lei reluctantly said: "He can treat the digging materials as homework and let us do it. I still remember that it was July and a half. He asked each of us to dig at least one piece of material back. I want to graduate. I still feel a little scared when I think about it now, don’t talk about hell or there will be retribution, if someone finds out, maybe I will be killed on the spot, I can survive until graduation is the virtue accumulated by my ancestors.”
"This old man is really getting more and more crazy..." Liu Nian was shocked for a moment, then fell silent. After a long time, he suddenly walked up to me and whispered in my ear, "I believe he didn't lie."
"Why? Just because he's your junior brother?" Although Liu Nian looks rough on the surface, he is a careful person on the inside. I don't think he will believe everything the other party says simply because Shi Lei is his junior brother. , he must have a convincing reason for saying so.
However, his answer surprised me: "Yes, it is because he is Professor Chen's student." He seemed to know the doubts in my heart, and immediately explained: "It is normal for you to suspect that Shi Lei is chasing the wind, that is Because you have never seen the power of Professor Chen. Do you know what we mean by keeping the cold storage and digging materials?"
"Want to hear about it." I handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.
He breathed out a smoke ring and said slowly: "Professor Chen is an expert in the Department of Human Anatomy. He is very strict in accepting students, but he has only one requirement for students, and that is courage! The basis of human anatomy is to dissect corpses, and there is no courage at all. He can't learn, so he often uses some strange methods to exercise students' courage. The cold storage I mentioned just now means that students are kept alone in the cold storage where the corpses are stored overnight, and the digging materials are on the barren mountains and ridges near the school. Dig graves, and take the human bones from the graves back to the school to make skeleton specimens."
"Professor Chen is a lunatic!" I shuddered involuntarily.
"He can do even crazier things. My ability to eat in front of a corpse was trained by him." He smiled wryly and added, "When I first took an anatomy class, many people would not be able to eat, and I was the One of them. In order for us to overcome this problem, he even asked us to go to the autopsy room and watch him perform the autopsy while we ate. He also ordered some disgusting meals like fried beef with tomatoes. No less, even if you eat it, you will vomit, but after a long time, everyone is used to it, and they no longer feel sick."
After listening to his schooling experience, a drop of cold sweat fell from my forehead, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "So your perversion is not born!"
"Damn, are you talking about human beings!" He glared at me, then showed a malicious smile.
I felt bad in my heart, but unfortunately it was too late, he suddenly opened his arms and rushed over to hug me. God of longevity, I have to find rice water again tonight to remove the odor of corpses.
Just as I was thinking about how to throw fleeting years out of the window, Viagra and Meow, who were still watching that boring video in front of the computer, first whispered and then screamed together.
"Why are you yelling so loudly!" Zhen Zhen scolded and walked to the computer, neither Viagra nor Miaomiao answered her, they just pointed at the computer screen to show her. She glanced at it inexplicably, and then exclaimed, "What is this?" I thought they might have found something, so I walked over and asked them what was going on.
"Look here." Viagra finally recovered from his surprise and pointed at the screen to show me. The screen displayed Shi Lei's third time when he "god to hell". He stood by the bed facing the window, and the speakers were talking to himself. On the surface, there was nothing unusual. However, when I paid a little attention to where Viagra was pointing, the problem was immediately apparent.
What Viagra showed me was the mirror on the bedside table that was slanted toward the window. When Shi Lei was talking to himself, he could vaguely see a reflection in the mirror, but when he finished saying, "He went in the direction you came from." After that, the mirror surface gradually becomes brighter, and the reflection of course disappears.
I asked Viagra to return the progress to the time when the reflection had not disappeared, and freeze the picture, and then asked him if he could zoom in on the part of the mirror? He gave me a disdainful look: "Don't you think asking me this kind of question is an insult to hackers? This kind of thing has no technical content and can be done with a few fingers. However, the resolution of the video is not high. High, the picture distortion will be very serious after zooming in. Okay, it's done!" With just a few words, he had already zoomed in on the part of the mirror.
Looking at the picture on the screen, the crowd around the computer couldn't help screaming together, because a human-shaped shadow could be clearly seen through the magnified mirror! Judging from the position of the mirror, the owner of this shadow should be standing outside the window.
Did Shi Lei really go to hell
