The Exorcist

At noon the next day, Lazy San, who was still suffering from a hangover headache, was dragged by Sister Wang to the basement. Because Sister Wang was going there to get some things, but this superstitious rural woman firmly believed that the first case must be caused by evil spirits, so she dared not go down alone, even at noon.

"The yang energy of a man's family is always stronger." She said.

Lazy San had no choice but to accompany her to the basement, but the closer he got, the more he felt the hairs stand on end. He wanted to leave immediately, but didn't because he didn't want to be told that he wasn't even a man. More importantly, this small building is where he has lived for half of his life. There has never been a supernatural event. He does not believe that ghosts will appear for no reason; To deal with it immediately.

There used to be a light at the entrance to the basement, but it was broken and never replaced. Fortunately, it is a sunny day, so it is only a little dim.

There was a crisp sound of '哗啦' suddenly, and it was even more startling in the empty space, which made Lazy San jump. Sister Wang, who was walking in front, also thumped and stopped, causing Lazy San to almost bump into her back.

"What's the matter?" Lazy San was a little annoyed, and only then did he realize that the crisp sound was made by Sister Wang dropping a bunch of keys on the ground, "It's really scary, scary to death!"

"The door—the door—" Sister Wang pointed to the front and only said these two words, her voice trembling, and she couldn't move her footsteps.

Lan San looked forward and saw that the door of the basement was opened, and a few ghost papers were scattered on the ground.

Ever since the police inspected the scene and returned this place to him, he has locked it up several times, otherwise Sister Wang would not have taken such a large bunch of keys. But at this time the door was opened intact, and those few ghost papers were even more incomprehensible. His parents died early, and no one died in this place for twenty years. Where did the ghost papers come from?

Just when he was in a daze, Sister Wang suddenly understood, she yelled 'ah', turned around and ran, and even knocked Lazy San staggeringly, almost fell down.

For a moment, he also wanted to run away behind Sister Wang, but the strange thing was that he didn't run away in the end, and he didn't know what kind of mentality it was, maybe it was just an inexplicable attraction that made him lean closer.

As soon as he got to the door, he felt something shaking vaguely, and there was a creaking sound coming slowly, which made Lan San's legs go limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

His cold sweat dripped down, he didn't know whether to run away or go in to see what happened. He froze there for a long time, seeing the images and sounds still echoing in the empty room as usual, regularly, steadily, and unhurriedly, with no signs of stopping and no scary things coming out of it, he couldn't help being curious prevailed.

In broad daylight, there can be no ghosts!

Lazy San thought about it, and slowly poked his head out to see for himself.

The bright light from the outside fell from the dilapidated and narrow skylight, and because of the dirty hemp glass, the light entering the inside was already very dim, making the inside and outside of the room permeated with a stale smell. A beam of light happened to fall on the bed where the murder happened. At this time, there was a person lying on his back on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, motionless, only his head was exposed, as quiet as dead.

Or just dead.

Moreover, in the winter, the sturdy old-fashioned ceiling fan in the middle of the room was turned on and turned slowly, and the light, shadow and sound came from it.

Or from the naked woman hanging from the ceiling fan.

When Lazy San poked his head out to watch, the woman hanging on the ceiling fan happened to turn to face him, making him recognize at a glance that this girl was the one he met yesterday at the entrance of the third floor.

At this time, her face was blue and black, her seven orifices were bleeding, her tongue was sticking out, her eyes were protruding and she was staring at the visitor!

Lazy San took a breath, and ran out even scrambling, not caring about the image of a man he wanted to re-establish, nor caring about the hotel's future reputation, and shouted: "It's killing people again! It's killing people again! !"

When the police came this time, since it was noon, there were more onlookers, but they couldn't get any definite news, they only saw Lan San sitting on the stone bench in front of the small flower garden and muttering to himself, "Which kind of good brother did you recruit, who harmed me so much and deliberately blocked my way of life! It's so miserable, so miserable—" I don't know whether he said that he was miserable or that the victim was miserable.

But in any case, his hotel is temporarily closed. As for the police, this was added to the worrisome matter. The last murder case in a secret room had no clue at all. Although this time it was not so 'technical', it did not leave any traces of committing the crime.

The victimized girl also had sex before being murdered, and she was not raped, but had sex with her boyfriend. But she was also naked when she died, and her body was also covered with bruises and irregular small handprints. She was also suffocated and frightened to death, but the suffocation process was more obvious, and she was hanged alive.

The boy lying on the bed was covered with a quilt. Although he realized that there would be a more terrifying and disgusting scene under the quilt, he still didn't expect it to be that way—the boy had undergone an anatomical operation, and his entire chest was opened. The internal organs have all been replaced. His blood had drained dry, seeping into the thick bedding.

Were they killed at the same time or did they come first? Why was there five people upstairs at that time, but no one heard the call for help, and they still didn't resist? Why is there an indecent act on the dead woman but no rape? Why didn't the lock on the gate show signs of being forcibly opened, and what happened to the ghost paper? Is it intentional to attract people's daydream or has another deep meaning?

This and the previous case seemed to be a series of crimes, but they had no idea about the suspect, and they didn't understand why he chose this hotel and the young couple as his target.

And these two cases are not only brutal, they are simply abnormal!

"I think it's the work of a psychopath," said a policeman at the analysis session.

"But we have to take into account the small size of the handprint. In this case, its strength does not match the normal physiological characteristics of human beings." Another said.

"Where is the murder weapon in the second case? Why is there no clue at all? You must know that there is no perfect murder in this world!" Another one said.

"It's simply not something people do!" This is their initial conclusion except for the technical aspect.

As a result, the case became unsolved again. Then the winter vacation and the New Year came one after another, and the love hotel did not reopen for two months.

\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026

After the new year, Xiaoxia received a new task, that is, the branch of Boheng Group, a large enterprise in this city, needs to handle some legal business, and he is unwilling to hire a local lawyer who is not very trusted, so he hired Changkong Law Firm Assign a lawyer to act as legal representation and counsel for two months.

Boheng Group is a long-term client of Changkong Law Firm, so of course it can't be rejected, but the lawyers in the firm either have important cases at hand, or they are family members, so only the "marginal character" Yue Xiaoxia, who is lonely and widowed, will be assigned to bear the burden. this task.

"The job is very simple, but you get a lot of money. You have been taking criminal cases recently. Now you can take this opportunity to relax and go sightseeing. I heard that the natural and cultural landscapes of City A are good." The director said.

Xiao Xia nodded.

She has no resistance to this job, because it is indeed a relatively easy job. Although other people in the office will say that a latecomer like her is favored by the director, she is ready to accept it.

She was just thinking about going to other places to relax and adjust her mood, when such a great opportunity came to her head, of course she had to catch it without hesitation. Who made her shit luck born to be good!

It had been two months since the Christmas incident, but she still felt so unnatural that she didn't even dare to go to Yeguiren Bar to have a look.

What a shame!

When I mustered up the courage to confess my love secretly, I realized that he only regarded himself as a friend all the time. Friends are good friends, at most she buries her feelings in her heart. Secret love, what's the big deal—think about it, you like someone but he doesn't know, isn't it romantic? If you like someone, they have no obligation to accept it. She understands this truth and can accept it, but it's too embarrassing to make an oolong. She only hopes that he doesn't understand her meaning, so that she will feel better.

However, he is so smart and keen, how could he not understand!

This kind of thought remained in Xiao Xia's consciousness, making her hide everything related to Ruan Zhan like a thief, although she wanted to see him so much, and his eyes that were sometimes alienated and sometimes gentle.

When she got home and was packing things for a business trip, her cell phone rang. Her heart almost jumped out when she saw the number displayed on it, it was the phone number of Yeguiren Bar.

She took several deep breaths nervously before answering the call, but the voice on the other end made her relax again.

It turned out to be Liu Tie and Ni Yang, two guys from Yeguiren Bar. They went home for a while because of the winter vacation. During this period, Ruan Zhan hired local college students as temporary clerks, and replaced them when the winter vacation was over.

As soon as they came back, they clamored to meet Xiao Xia's sister, but because they had classes during the day and Xiao Xia went to work during the day, they had to ask Xiao Xia to come to the bar to meet at night.

Listening to Xiaoxia's feeble excuses, the eloquent Ni Yang said: "No, Miss Xia, you must come. I brought you souvenirs from my hometown. If you don't come, I will hurt my little heart."

"Also, and—" Liu Tie snatched the phone, "I've been secretly in love with Miss Xia for so many years, you should come and comfort me about my lovesickness!"

Xiao Xia laughed, she really has nothing to do with these two boys!

Ni Yang has always been poor-tongued. Liu Tie was a little shy at first, but after the Bloody Mary incident, he was silent for a while, but later became cheerful and lively for some reason.

Wan Li said that this is called inner-level personality mining!

There was no other way, Xiao Xia couldn't help these two boys being soft-spoken, and finally agreed. In fact, in her heart, what she wanted to see was another person, the one who made her restless. After all, she was going on a business trip to City A, and she was going to be so far away from him, but she lied to herself that she was forced by those two boys.

Wan Li said: People always like to deceive themselves, because it is easier than deceiving others.
