Paintings of Terror

The room Ke Xun entered seemed to be a small living room, with only a sofa and a closet, covered with thick dust.

Walking to the sofa, I looked at it carefully with my mobile phone, and saw that the sofa cover, which was too old to see the color, still had wrinkles that had been sat on by people. There was a teapot and a few teacups on the tea table in front of the sofa. , the bottom of the cup was covered with dust and dead bugs, and there was a ring of tea stains on the cup wall.

Ke Xun opened the cabinet, checked it inside and out, and found that it was just some bottles and cans. He even moved the sofa, checked the floor below, and finally took pictures with his mobile phone, showing the ceiling and walls inch by inch. observed.

Walking out of the room, seeing Zhu Haowen and Mu Yiran returning to the central hall after checking one after another, the three of them exchanged their findings.

"If you don't consider the pool of blood at the door and the string of bloody footprints, this room gives me the feeling that it is a very ordinary life scene." Ke Xun said.

"I don't know what happened to stop this state of life abruptly," Mu Yiran continued, "It's as if all the progress of life was stopped in an instant, and all the scenes stayed at this moment."

"The strange thing is," Zhu Haowen said, "in these scenes of life, no one was found, or a human body. It feels like it was erased from the picture by an eraser. Of course, if you are on the second floor If you find something, just pretend I didn’t say it.”

"Then let's go up to the second floor?" Ke Xun asked if they were ready.

The string of bloody footprints that bleed horribly came from the second floor.

"Go." The two men said.

So Ke Xun walked in the front as usual, Mu Yiran was in the middle, and Zhu Haowen was behind. The three of them were separated by two or three steps, neither too close nor too far away, and they maintained that they could reach out for help at any time, and they were always available. Letting go of the posture to escape, they stepped up the wooden stairs leading to the second floor.

"Crunch—" "Crunch—"

Even if the three people stepped on the old stairs with extreme caution and as lightly as possible, they would still make a dilapidated sound, with a long lingering sound. Dull.

Like a person whose throat is stuffed with sawdust and who desperately wants to speak but can't say anything, he utters a dying groan.

The bloody footprints on the steps of the stairs looked very staggering, and there were bloodstains rubbed against the wall next to it. These bloodstains included fingerprints, splashed blood drops, and marks from the side of the face.

"How much blood did this person bleed?" Ke Xun marveled again, stopped in front of a relatively complete human-shaped blood print on the wall, and pointed it to Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen, "Look at this print, this person Almost covered in blood."

"A man, about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build and well-developed limbs," Mu Yiran looked at the blood mark, "If the possibility of sneak attack is ruled out, ordinary people want to label a man with such physical condition as this It's not easy to be seriously injured at this level."

"With such a large area of ​​bleeding, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was hacked into pieces." Zhu Haowen said.

"Stop scaring me." Ke Xun turned his head and continued walking up.

Zhu Haowen: "..." At any rate, you also act like you're frightened.

There are also four rooms on the second floor, the doors of the rooms are closed, and the two windows in the middle hall are covered with dust, making the eyes dark.

Ke Xun stood at the entrance of the stairs, took pictures with his mobile phone for a while, and then said to the two people behind him: "Cover your head with clothes, there are cobwebs and dust everywhere."

The three of them covered their heads, faces and hands with the coats they took off a long time ago, leaving only a pair of eyes outside. Ke Xun looked at the bloody footprints on the floor and saw that it led to the room that was probably the master bedroom: "Let's go straight into this room. "

The other two had no objection. Ke Xun carefully brushed aside the dusty cobwebs that were criss-crossed in front of him with his wrapped hands, walked forward slowly, and stopped in front of the door of the master bedroom.

Using the mobile phone to illuminate the foot, thick black blood stains spread from the crack of the door, even thicker and thicker than the pool of blood in the door downstairs.

Ke Xun stretched out his hand to hold the doorknob, but before he could use any force, the door suddenly opened with a "squeak...".

A large black and chaotic thing rushed towards him with his head covered and his face covered. Ke Xun reacted extremely quickly, stepped back and dodged, and promptly dragged Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen towards the door to avoid it.

The noisy sound of "hum--" accompanied by the black and chaotic flying things rushed out of the door in an instant, exploded in mid-air, and hit the spider webs one after another, stirring up dust in the room.

"Flies." Zhu Haowen frowned, pulled the clothes covering his face, and wrapped himself up more tightly.

"There must be tens of thousands of flies here." Ke Xun waved away the chaotic flies in front of him, and pinched his nose with the other hand to block the nauseating smell that came out of the house with the flies extremely foul smell.

"You two are waiting outside, I'll go in first?" Ke Xun said.

These horrible flies and smells are a sign that things are not going to look good in the room.

"No, since we're here, let's go in together." Zhu Haowen said, and was about to step out from the door and go into the room first, but was pulled back by Ke Xun.

"Why are you so honest?" Ke Xun said as he swiped open the phone's camera, then reached into the door and took pictures of the room.

Zhu Haowen: "..." This person's brain really became more and more active.

Ke Xun withdrew his hand, clicked on the video he had just shot, and showed it to the three of them for a closer look. However, even if it was just a video, after he clicked it, it was shocking enough to make his hands tremble. If it wasn't for Mu Yi However, he quickly supported his hand holding the mobile phone, fearing that the mobile phone would be shaken from his hand.

But I saw a double bed in the room in the video, with heavy curtains drawn, and a set of wardrobes at the base of the wall.

There was no one in this room, or a corpse, but on its bed, on the curtains, on the wardrobe, on the floor, on the walls around, and even on the ceiling, thick black blood was soaked or sprayed.

It's like a hell on earth.

Zhu Haowen has never seen so much blood, not even Qi Qiang who killed himself in "Pure Land" has never shed this amount of blood.

Thick black and viscous stains covered every corner of the room, as if sprayed from a high-pressure water gun, blood pooled on the floor, and there were densely packed huge black flies everywhere.

Zhu Haowen turned around, retched twice under restraint.

Ke Xun turned off the video, looked at Mu Yiran: "How about it, do you still want to go in?"

"You two wait here, I'll go in and take a look." Mu Yiran walked into the room as he said.

"Hao Wen'er, wait here, Yiran and I will go in and take a look." Ke Xun followed Mu Yiran into the door.

The disgusting smell of rancidity in the room was almost breathless, and the pungent gas that filled the room evaporated in the sweltering heat.Flies are constantly flying around and bumping into him from time to time.

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran opened the closet to check, and the other lifted the bedding on the bed to check.

The choking dust, the messy flies, the strong rotten smell, and the suffocating dim light were stirred into a moldy and rotten porridge by the two people's very careful actions.

After turning it inside out, he didn't find any useful clues or props. Ke Xun pointed to the wall and ceiling: "Is there any clue covered by this blood?" Then the next thing to do is too disgusting.

"I think the clues may not be left here so simply," Mu Yiran shook his head slightly after thinking about it, "but we don't rule out this possibility, it can be considered as the last consideration."

Saying that, he called Ke Xun to leave the room.When Ke Xun walked out, he took a careful look at the stains on the wall, and saw that these stains hung unevenly on the wall. It seemed that this thing was not just blood, but also some other substances, but Ke Xun didn't want to Checking with bare hands, I always feel that this is not a good thing.

After coming out of this room, the three of them thoroughly checked the other rooms on the second floor. The only room covered with blood was the master bedroom just now, and the rest of the rooms were the same as the rooms downstairs, maintaining the state of daily life.

And three people did not find any clues.

Coming out of this house, Ke Xun tore off the clothes covering his head and face, and took a few gulps of the stale air outside. The weather seemed to get hotter as time went by. Before the others came back, Ke Xun Xun also took off all the clothes below him, leaving only the outermost pair of trousers.

"What happened in this house?" Ke Xun discussed with Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen, "Especially in the master bedroom, what kind of situation would cause a person's blood to spurt to such an extent?"

"Maybe it's not just one person's blood," Zhu Haowen said, "it might be two people's blood, or even the whole family's blood."

"The more you talk about it, the worse it gets," Ke Xun said. "It doesn't matter how many people are involved. This kind of death must be homicide, but what kind of killing method will make people's blood squirt all over the room, even on the ceiling?" Yes? I saw that the blood was either sprayed or thrown, but it should not have been artificially wiped off. And the crux of the problem is, where did the dead go?"

"Perhaps before the deceased died, he lived in this house alone. After the murder, the body was taken away for disposal, and this house became an unoccupied house. Naturally, no one would take the initiative to clean it up or Clean up." Zhu Haowen said.

"No, at least a family of three lives in this house," Mu Yiran said, "I checked the closets in each room, and there are clothes for adult men and women, as well as clothes for children. No matter who survived the accident Whoever came down, or the whole family died, this house should not have been kept in this state."

"So now it seems that there are three questions that need to be resolved," Zhu Haowen said. "First, what happened in this house; second, why the murder scene has been preserved; third, the relationship between this scene and the search for signatures." What does it have to do with, or rather, what does it have to do with the topic of 'restart'."

"I think we need to check more houses to get more clues." Ke Xun said.

As he was talking, he saw other companions walking back here one after another. They were sweating profusely from the heat, and they had already taken off their clothes, leaving only their single clothes and trousers.

"Did you find anything?" Ke Xun asked everyone.
