Chapter 10 The Cannibal Wardrobe
Perhaps what happened in the past two days has long subverted my perception and I began to think about it.
Although I brought a lot of luggage, almost all of them were large items like tripods. The two small items I took out were headphones and power banks.
The sound of footsteps came from the second floor. I thought it was Song Yu who had come down, but I didn't expect that Bai Ji was holding two tripods in one hand and power banks and headphones in the other.
Until he walked downstairs, Song Yu didn't follow him.
I was a little surprised. According to Song Yu's timid nature, she should have followed Bai Ji down instead of staying alone on the second floor.
"Where is Song Yu?" I asked him.
"Didn't she stay downstairs with you?" As soon as he finished speaking, a heart-wrenching shout suddenly came from the second floor. His face changed and put the things in his hand on the ground and immediately ran towards the second floor.
Something was not good, and Song Yu went up to the second floor, but Bai Ji didn't even know.
"In the room without windows." I also ran to the second floor. Bai Ji had already run to the door of the room. At the same time, the door slammed and closed.
The screams and shouts continued, and Bai Ji stretched out his long legs and kicked the door open.
In an instant, a scene that made me feel dizzy happened.
The cabinet with the talisman paper was shaking violently, the cabinet door was half open, and a hand was stretched out from it. It was obvious that Song Yu was calling for help in the cabinet.
The next second, the hand that stretched outward suddenly retracted into the cabinet, and the cabinet door was closed at the same time, and the cry for help and screams came to an abrupt end.
"Song Yu!"
Bai Ji had already run to the cabinet and pulled it open suddenly. I guess the same thing happened when I was trapped in the cabinet yesterday.
I was lucky that after Dabai Face did not do anything more terrifying to me, Bai Ji rescued him from the closet first.
And Song Yu...
Bai Ji stood there, stunned for a moment, then leaned into the cabinet to check, then cursed and exited.
So what's going on now?
I was completely frightened and looked at everything in front of me with my mouth covering my mouth in disbelief.
Where is Song Yu?
Why did I look at Bai Ji and I didn’t seem to find Song Yu from the cabinet?
"Bai Ji, Song Yu..." I finally stepped on my stiff legs, but Bai Ji shouted.
"Don't come over!"
I was startled and stopped: "Is she... dead?"
Bai Ji seemed to be unable to believe it, and looked at the cabinet again: "She disappeared."
Disappeared?
A living person, who was chatting with me downstairs one minute ago, and disappeared from the cabinet the next second...
It disappeared, where would she go? Could it be that she was eaten by the cabinet?
I can't believe it.
"What should I do now? Call the police?" I asked Bai Ji tremblingly.
Bai Ji thought for a moment, walked over a few steps, pulled me up and walked out: "Call the police, but we have to leave here first."
"We have to look for it first. Maybe there is a secret passage in the room, so she ran to other rooms."
Bai Ji's determination and calmness surprised me. He ignored my proposal and pulled me downstairs without even caring about the luggage on the first floor, and walked out of No. 4 directly.
"We must call the police. We cannot continue to stay here, we must find a witness first."
I understood his words a little, and I felt that he was so cold and calm about a person who could disappear out of thin air.
No matter what, Song Yu came with me. Now that something happened to her, I can't ignore her.
So I broke free from Bai Ji's hand and walked towards No. 4: "You go call the police, I will stay here and look for it again. She is a living person, and it is impossible to say it will disappear!"
"It's useless to find it!" Bai Ji walked over two steps, grabbed me and pulled out, "You can't go in again, wait for the police to come and ask them to find it."
Without further ado, Bai Ji pulled me out and walked straight to the crazy man's house.
Soon, the aunt opened the door for us and happily said that the crazy man had woken up and his spirits were restored to normal.
But we were not in a mood to be happy for the aunt.
Bai Ji walked into the yard, took out his cell phone while lighting a cigarette, and called the police. I wanted to go out several times, but Bai Ji stopped me in the yard and said nothing.
I was anxious and decided to Bai Ji for a few words and ignored me and smoked cigarettes one by one.
After a long time, about an hour, we were at the aunt's house until the police car arrived.
Not only were the surrounding villagers attracted by the police car, but also Zuo Hexu, who was carrying two barrels of gasoline.
"What happened?" Zuo Hexu put the gasoline on the ground and opened the crowd to find Bai Ji and me, "Why are there only you two, where is your friend Song Yu?"
At this time, two police officers came to us and said they wanted to understand what happened.
I told the police officers everything I saw and the purpose of coming to Si Village, and handed them over the ID card to them, allowing them to investigate at will.
Finally, I fully understood that when Song Yu disappeared in the cabinet, Bai Ji did not stay on No. 4 to continue searching the house, but instead pulled me out to find the real purpose of the witness.
First of all, a living person disappears, whether he dies or disappears, will definitely be investigated. Even if we don’t call the police, Song Yu’s family will call the police to look for him after they cannot contact her. Then Bai Jizuo Hexu and I will be regarded as the last person to see her and become the key suspects.
And when we find witnesses, such as aunts, we can prove that we have been from entering the fourth to leaving in just ten minutes.
In ten minutes, whether it is to hide people, kill people and then destroy corpses, from a scientific and objective perspective, normal people cannot complete it at all, so naturally we will clear away the suspicion.
I have to say that Bai Ji's actions showed a sense of calmness and careful consideration in all aspects. If it were me, I would probably go crazy and look for Song Yu on No. 4, and then call the police for help, turning myself into the only suspect.
The only thing he cares about is that after the accident, Bai Ji ignored Song Yu's life and death and gave up his search for Song Yu just to not become a suspect.
If we look for Song Yu on No. 4 immediately, is it possible that we will find her one in ten thousand?
Instead of now, all the police have flipped through Number 4 but found no trace of Song Yu.
His indifference made me feel a little disappointed. I can't evaluate how selfish he is in the face of this matter. I can only say that everyone's different treatments after the emergencies.
If the person cannot be found, there is no way to file a case, so I can only register as the missing person first.
After a brief question, Bai Ji and I were taken to two police cars respectively, and a special police officer recorded our confession.
Regarding my almost bizarre narrative like a ghost story, if it were other cases, the police officer would most likely take me as a madman and send me to a mental hospital for examination.
Or I think I was making up lies and deceiving the police, locking me up first on the charge of obstructing official duties, and then slowly investigating as a suspect.
But this is the famous No. 4 haunted house. No matter how nonsense it is, it becomes a natural thing to happen in No. 4, which adds a layer of creepy atmosphere.
The police officer looked at the previous record and asked a new question: "I read the content taken by your camera. Why did the missing person you said intend to kill you?"
I was a little worried, more worried about Song Yu: "I might have been possessed by a ghost."
The police officer sneered at what I said: "In the video, she said that your father harmed her whole family."
Lili Yuan’s original book, from what he meant, it wasn’t that I thought Song Yu was missing, but I killed her to cover up the secret for my father?
I remember there was a case a few years ago when the caller lied that his wife was mysteriously missing and showed extremely calm behavior when facing the police and reporters.
But the law was completely out of nowhere, and in the end, with the efforts of the police, the human tissue of the missing person was found in the septic tank. The murderer was the husband who called the police.
The police will first suspect the person who called the police. This is understandable, but they must also start based on the actual situation.
I don't have time to commit crimes.
"Police officer, put aside the video content, if you think I'm lying, I should have the time and ability to do bad things. If you treat me as a prisoner, at least you have to have evidence of doubting me."
This is the headache for the police officers. There is no time to commit the crime, and there is also an aunt and other people in the village who testify for us.
He seemed a little embarrassed and smiled quickly: "Don't get me wrong. We will not treat you as a prisoner until we find someone or evidence, but just follow the examples of the incident."
I lost my good tone and felt very upset, "If you have time to doubt me, it's better to send more people to find Song Yu."
Maybe my words made him a little embarrassed. He coughed and covered up and became serious: "Our police have different divisions of labor. My responsibility is to ask you for the transcript."
I snorted and ignored him.
"Okay, just pretend that everything you said was true. You packed your suitcase on the first floor and after Song Yu went up to the second floor, did you hear anything?"
This is a normal problem.
I also put away my anger and thought carefully: "From her going up the second floor to Bai Ji's down, I stayed on the first floor and didn't hear any unusual movements."
"If Bai Ji, who was walking with you, did something you didn't know..."
Just as he thought he asked a reliable question, the second sentence began to be nonsense: "Police Officer, the same thing, Bai Ji and I don't have time to do anything, and Bai Ji doesn't know Song Yu, so we don't even have the motivation."
"Okay." The police officer had no choice but to close the notebook and smiled politely at me, "I will do this today. You can go to the bureau to do a detailed registration later. If you need it, please cooperate with the investigation at any time."
Leaving from Si Village, then going to the police station to register. When I got my luggage, it was already dark outside.
In just two days, I was full of confidence when I came, but when I left, I was so sad that I lost Song Yu.
It's simply ridiculous.
"Why find a place to eat first." Zuo Hexu was also physically and mentally exhausted. It was getting late and the meal was already past. We were all tired and hungry.
Bai Ji nodded in agreement: "Okay, we'll go back after dinner."
I am really worried about Song Yu's safety. I guess I can't eat the Manhan banquet now.
I was alone and couldn't affect the other two. When I was about to get in the car, my phone rang.
I thought it was my mother's mother and asked me when I would go home, but the caller ID was a string of strange numbers.
"Hello." I adjusted my mood and answered the phone.
"Someone recommends you to me. You are a haunted house test sleeper, right?"
On the other side of the phone was a man's voice, accompanied by the child's crying, and I couldn't hear any emotions at the moment.
I felt a little tired. I came to my business so quickly, and I didn’t even give me a chance to take a breath: “I have time the first day after tomorrow. If the time is fine, I can add WeChat to facilitate communication and tell me where to try to sleep.”
Perhaps the child was crying next to him, which made the man a little irritated. He agreed and hung up the phone immediately.
Soon he added me on WeChat and sent me an address.
Chapter completed!
