Citizen Four [Unlimited Stream]

Chapter 122 Peeping 07

Dingchiyu checked the wound and found that the body was torn into several parts by something.

Recalling the hand last night, Ding Chiyu felt a little bit of fear: If it wasn't for the gong, the person lying here would be herself.

Shang Yang quickly determined that it was a man's corpse. Ding Chiyu tried his best to recall Qian Lai's features, and finally found the tattoo on his left wrist from the corpse.

Ding Chiyu was hesitating whether to ask Zhao Yu, when Zhao Yu's voice came from behind him: "This is Ah Lai."

Ding Chiyu looked up, Zhao Yu had regained his composure and was standing behind him, but his eyes were full of sadness.

After getting a definite answer, Ding Chiyu stood up: "Please forgive me."

Before Zhao Yu could respond, Shang Yang, who was inspecting the house over there, seemed to have found something, turned his head and waved to Ding Chiyu: "Akong."

Ding Chiyu hurried over.

The place Shang Yang indicated was a dead corner at the junction of the main load-bearing wall and the balcony. Ding Chiyu didn't care about the blood stains on it. It's a dull hollow sound.

Shang Yang had already found some tools, he used a screwdriver instead of a chisel, and together with Dingchiyu, he quickly opened up a layer of the wall, exposing the red bricks inside.

Ding Chiyu still remembered the position just now, so he found a red brick and hammered it down lightly. The adobe on the surface shattered, exposing the hollow belly of the brick.

Shang Yang put on cut-resistant gloves, carefully reached in, touched for a while, and even pulled out a small pottery jar.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people who hadn't had time to retreat also boldly surrounded them.

"What is this?" Zhou Jie stared at the jar.

The jar is only the size of a palm, made of black rough pottery, with a big belly and a small mouth, and a layer of oiled paper and mud on the top is firmly tied. The most eye-catching thing is the cinnabar printed on the seal that looks like a talisman.

"The urn." Dingchiyu is no stranger to this shape, Shang Yang has prepared all the folklore materials, but this is the first time he has seen this size: "But, is it too small?"

While talking, Ding Chiyu took pictures of all angles of the jar on his phone, and deliberately found a few more pictures of the bright red cinnabar, so Shang Yang opened the seal and exposed the mouth of the jar.

The mouth of the altar was too small to reach in. Shang Yang took the spoon handed over by Dingchiyu, and scooped out a spoonful of off-white powder from it. Looking at the bone residue inside, everyone's doubts disappeared. The colors on the faces of Mo and the others suddenly faded a lot.

"This is a ghost substitute!" Zhao Yu almost spit out these words through gritted teeth.

"That's right, I just didn't expect it to be so hidden." Ding Chiyu glanced at Shang Yang: Sure enough, this Zhao Yu is not an ordinary person.

"Ghost substitute, what is it?" Although Zhao Yu's eyes could kill, Li Mo still asked.

Shang Yang rubbed the cinnabar on the seal: "When people are alive, they have too much resentment, and they may turn into ghosts to take revenge after death. Therefore, those who will be resented will add talisman seals to the ashes of the resentful person, and through similar sacrifices The way of using the lives of living people to eliminate resentment."

"Then my elder brother?!" Li Mo's eyes filled with fear.

Ding Chiyu said succinctly: "The ghost substitute will see the corpse, but your elder brother's corpse was not found."

Hearing what Ding Chiyu said, Li Mo's face became better.

Shang Yang didn't find anything suspicious anymore, and suggested that everyone leave the room temporarily. No one had any objections. After Zhao Yu took off his coat and covered the corpse, he finally gritted his teeth and came out.

Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang gathered everyone together, and said roughly: "After what happened today, everyone should know that there must be loopholes in yesterday's inspection. Is this still hidden, so I propose to check all the rooms again today."

Seeing that there was no objection, Ding Chiyu told a few people the location of the suspicious room that he and Shang Yang estimated.

Li Ke noticed something: "Aren't you two participating?"

Although Ding Chiyu's words were polite, his tone was unquestionable: "We have other things to do, and we will come back early in the afternoon to join the inspection."

After Ding Chiyu told Li Mo once more not to call the police, he left with Shang Yang.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhao Yu's eyes revealed a sense of impatience, and he also walked away from the crowd.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Seeing Zhao Yu's figure disappear on the stairs, Zhou Jie could only put down his hands: "It seems that we can only rely on ourselves."

Because of the shortening of the time, after all this tossing, it was already lunch time, Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang didn't have time to eat, so they took a piece of bread and went downstairs.

As soon as he went downstairs, Ding Chiyu paid attention to the time. He and Shang Yang were going to the police station to see what Qian Lai did yesterday, and they came back so late.

This blind spot is different from the previous ones. Except that the mobile phones brought in from outside cannot be used, everything is almost exactly the same as the real world.

While waiting for a taxi on the side of the road, Shang Yang used cash to buy two mobile phones and a calling card at the business hall, but the mobile phone, which was in good condition in the hands of the salesperson, had no signal as soon as it arrived in the hands of the two of them, so they had to give up.

The police station is not far from here. The two arrived at the destination without saying a few words in the taxi. Ding Chiyu looked at the time when getting off the car. Even with the shortened part, Qian Lai should not have gone back so late last night. , Could it be that he found something wrong yesterday?

When the people at the police station heard that the two had come to ask for information on Li Zhen's disappearance, they immediately refused, no matter how Ding Chiyu discussed it, it was useless.

The two left the police station helplessly. It was less than an hour before the two left the building. Before leaving, Ding Chiyu asked about the situation of the money yesterday. The feedback was the same as what happened to the two, and he did not ask for information.

Where did the money go yesterday?

Before Ding Chiyu could speak to Shang Yang, a taxi stopped at the gate of the police station, and Zhao Yu, with red eyes, got out of the car and walked towards the police station as if he couldn't see the two of them.

"You want this?" Ding Chiyu asked instinctively even though he had guessed Zhao Yu's purpose.

Zhao Yu's expression was full of hostility: "Of course I'm going to the police station. What, do you need permission from the two of you?"

Dingchiyu didn't want to catch fire: "Of course not."

"Let's go back first. After all, safety at night comes first. Only the three of them can't finish checking those rooms." Ding Chiyu couldn't object to Shang Yang's proposal, after all, his own safety came first.

The two fought back, and Li Ke and the three of them were re-investigating one by one with the help of Li Mo. Seeing that the two joined, they were naturally very welcome.

All participants noticed a reduction in time, and they wanted to go faster, but with the lessons learned from the money, caution ended up being their first choice.

Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang's judgment was not wrong. In the room directly below the room they lived in and the room directly below Li Ke's room, the group found another urn.

The moment he saw the columbarium, Li Ke couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. Although his face was still not pretty, his tense expression finally relaxed a little.

In order to improve efficiency, the five of them ate their dinners as they worked, almost filling in two bites in a hurry, but that was the case. Before the night was dark, they could barely check the rooms above the first floor.

Zhao Yu didn't come back until everyone was done working, and went into his room with a cold face without saying hello to anyone.

To be on the safe side, the rest of the people changed rooms and lived together on the third floor.

Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang discussed for a long time before going to bed, and there were not many clues about Qian Lai's death. The only cause of death that he thought was more reliable was to ask about Li Zhen's death. Ding Chiyu asked specifically during the day, except for him In addition, no one else encountered the mysterious ghost's hand and back sight last night, which is why he had to change rooms. After all, even if he was brave, living above a room with an urn embedded in it did not give him peace of mind.

On the way back during the day, Ding Chiyu analyzed with Shang Yang, what would he do if he came for money and the police station couldn't find any information?The answer, of course, is to find a place with Internet access, so he borrowed the computer in Li Mo's room.

To Ding Chiyu's relief, the computer can access the Internet.

Ding Chiyu forced Shang Yang to go to sleep, and then began to look up information on the Internet.

There is not much information about Li Zhen's disappearance, and the news back then was all mentioned in one sentence. Ding Chiyu can understand this. After all, the case has not been solved, and it is impossible to publish the details inside.

The missing person in the building, the mysterious sight, the blank spiritual tablet, the urn embedded in the wall, what kind of line is hidden between these seemingly unrelated things?

Ding Chiyu always felt that there seemed to be something in his mind, but he was still one step away from jumping out.

While Ding Chiyu was thinking, he tapped his fingers on the computer keyboard casually. The keywords he was thinking about in his mind were randomly typed out by him, and opened several search pages.

Ding Chiyu lowered his eyes to look at the time. Because of the shortening of the time, it is already the early morning of another day in the blind spot. Compared with the time on the mobile phone, Ding Chiyu found that the time in the early morning of this day seems to have shortened by one-third .

Although he was not tired, Ding Chiyu decided to turn off the computer and take a rest. Just as he was about to close the page, a search record he clicked accidentally caught his attention.

This is a private website page that is not open. In the center, the scene of Qian Lai being mutilated this morning is hanging on it in the form of high-definition pictures.

Ding Chiyu carefully distinguished it, and it was indeed the photo of that room, and there was no trace of PS.

Ding Chiyu's heart tightened: The moment he found the scene of the crime, he and Shang Yang closed the curtains on the scene. During the day, they specially told everyone not to leak what happened. They didn't enter or leave the building for a day. Outsiders, when was this photo taken? !
