Paranormal Investigation Notes

Even though so many years have passed, Zhou Mingsheng, who has served several years in prison, still tenses his muscles with fear when recalling what happened at that time.

That incident obviously left a deep psychological shadow on him.

Lu Ming pondered in his heart, while He Wei said: "You specialize in watching things for others, and you are afraid when encountering things?"

The question is ironic.Zhou Mingsheng seemed to be crying and laughing: "Officer, I'm a scammer, looking at Feng Shui or something, it's just a cover, a cover. I don't know how to read it. If this happens, can I not be afraid?"

"At Nanlin Street, what other strange things did you find?"

"There's nothing else."

Zhou Mingsheng shook his head: "I didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter. The next day I just looked around, came up with a random way to set up a gossip mirror, and left directly. I didn't dare to give me more money Take it, for fear of getting into trouble."

From Zhou Mingsheng, it was obvious that there was nothing more to ask.This inquiry is nothing more than a little more certainty.

There are indeed oddities in Nanlin Street.This oddity can lead to unreasonable suicide in humans.But what is the source of this strangeness is still unknown.

And, this eccentricity didn't have any impact on the local residents of Nanlin Street, but on the consumers who came to Nanlin Street for leisure and entertainment.

Furthermore, is the method of placing the Bagua mirror effective?

At present, there are three possibilities in total.

First, Nanlin Street is indeed eccentric, and this eccentricity treats both local residents and outsiders of Nanlin Street equally.It's just that Zhou Mingsheng's method of arranging the gossip mirror happened to suppress the effect of this weirdness on the local residents of Nanlin Street by chance, so it can only be manifested on outsiders.

Second, Nanlin Street is indeed eccentric, and this eccentricity treats both local residents and outsiders of Nanlin Street equally.Also, Zhou Mingsheng's method of placing gossip mirrors was not effective at all, because there were other reasons why this kind of weirdness could not happen to the local residents of Nanlin Street.

Thirdly, Nanlin Street does have eccentricities, but these eccentricities are treated differently for the local residents of Nanlin Street and outsiders.It itself cannot affect the local residents of Nanlin Street, only the outsiders.

As for Zhou Mingsheng's miraculous nature, he took the initiative to eliminate this weirdness by placing a gossip mirror, and this possibility has been completely ruled out.

Looking at the submissive, humble, seemingly well-reformed fraudster in front of him, no one would believe him if he had any special abilities.

So, which of the above three possibilities is true?In which direction should our next investigation go?
After the interrogation, Lu Ming returned to the hotel to rest and fell into deep thought.

Still tossing and turning that night.

The next day, the three returned to Blue Lake City.All the way in silence, when we arrived at the meeting room, the discussion started again.

Lu Qingliang's figure also appeared on the screen.

After briefly reporting yesterday's situation, Lu Qingliang was full of disappointment: "Just a liar? Hey, I thought I could get some clues from him."

"Don't think about it." He Wei shook her head: "I feel that the line of the Zhou Family Archway can be put down temporarily."

From the custom of placing gossip mirrors to the archway of Zhou's family, to Wu Biao's suicide, to Zhou Mingsheng, it turned out that Zhou Mingsheng was just a fraud.This line looks like it has lost its value.

Lu Ming said: "It's not necessary to put it down. Let's have doubts for now. But it seems that we can't know more from here."

"What should I do next?"

All four were silent.

Lu Ming racked his brains and tried hard to think.

The familiar feeling of "I don't know where to start, and I don't know where to start" once again came to the meeting room and enveloped the four of them.

In the end, Zhang Dingshan said: "Let's end the meeting first. Don't worry, there is no rush for this kind of thing."

He Wei put away the documents in front of her listlessly, scratched her hair, sighed resignedly, and said, "I heard that the mushroom hotpot here in Blue Lake City is quite famous, try it? Who will go?"

Lu Ming was upset: "What time is it, are you still eating fungus?"

He Wei said angrily: "If the case cannot be investigated, then there is no need to do other things? No need to eat, no need to sleep? Is it useful?"

Lu Ming remained silent.

He Wei walked around the conference table, walked to Lu Ming, and patted him on the shoulder: "You are still young. Don't rush to investigate a case. The more urgent you are, the more useless it will be, and it will easily drag you down. Besides, people You can’t be tense all the time, relaxation and relaxation is the kingly way. Eat delicious food, take a stroll around the scenery, relax your mind, maybe inspiration will come.”

Lu Ming finally said: "I feel that the case has not been investigated yet, and I am still working, so it is inappropriate to focus on enjoying myself."

"There's a word called invalid overtime, have you heard of it? It's the same as self-torture can bring out inspiration. Whether you like it or not, it's up to you."

Lu Ming's face was a little uneasy: "Who abused himself? Investigating a case can't be regarded as self-abuse...Investigating a case! Can the matter of the action team be regarded as self-abuse?"

He Wei looked at him with a smile.In the end, Lu Ming himself was discouraged: "But what you said makes sense. All right, let's try it."

He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan again: "Are you going?"

Zhang Dingshan looked calm, and only uttered one word: "Go."

"Okay, let me find out where the most authentic ones are."

When leaving the conference room and walking out of the first floor, there was a sudden noise from the front, mixed with some crying.

Lu Ming turned the corner and saw two white-haired old men kneeling on the ground.Several security guards next to him tried their best to help the old man up.In front of the two old men, Feng Guozhu was comforting with sweat profusely.

The three of them stopped unconsciously, and then heard the old woman crying: "Juan'er did not commit suicide, Juan'er will not commit suicide, you can't close the case with suicide, you have to find the murderer, kill her!" Let the murderer avenge Juan'er... woo woo woo, we are just Juan'er, my poor child..."

"Uncle, Auntie, I understand your feelings, but I have shown you all the evidence. Gu Juan really committed suicide. There is no trace of homicide. You asked me to turn you into a murderer out of thin air. come out?"

"You nonsense, nonsense! Juan'er couldn't have committed suicide, you must know something, woo woo woo, you even sent someone to investigate what happened to Juan'er before she was alive, if Juan'er committed suicide, can you investigate so many things? You guys What exactly do you know, officer, I kneel down for you, can you not hide it from my wife, please, I beg you, how did Juaner die?..."

Feng Guozhu said: "That's just a routine investigation. We want to confirm that the reason for Gu Juan's suicide was not because there was anything hidden from you. Hey, what can I hide from you? You misunderstood, there is no murderer, really It was suicide..."

The old man among the two old men was full of excitement and cursed: "You are all in the same group! You are gangsters! You are all gangsters! You are covering up the murderer! We have no children, and there is no point in living. I will fight with you I’m going to sue you! As long as I’m alive, I’ll keep suing you!”

After comforting for a long time, a group of security guards finally invited the two old people to the reception room.Feng Guozhu was sweating profusely, almost exhausted physically and mentally.

Seeing the three of Zhang Dingshan, Feng Guozhu smiled with shame and said, "The family of the deceased."

Lu Ming said, "Their daughter is dead?"

"Yes."

Feng Guozhu felt a little emotional: "The old couple got a son and loved them since they were young. The deceased was also uplifting, filial and sensible, and had good grades. He just graduated and found a job for two years. He just said to take the old couple to live together, and suddenly committed suicide. When you say this, hey...it’s no wonder the old couple can’t accept it.”

Lu Ming knew that it must be his own large-scale investigation some time ago, which aroused even greater doubts in the hearts of the old couple who already had doubts about their daughter's suicide, and thus came to the Public Security Bureau to make trouble because they thought there was something hidden about her daughter's death. .

Feng Guozhu also knew some facts about the case, and knew that the suicides of the deceased were not normal.But of course he couldn't talk about these things.

Lu Ming also sighed.

Feng Guozhu said slowly: "I've been investigating this case for ten years, and I haven't found anything until now. It's all right now, you are finally here, the case has hope..."

His eyes seemed to be a little wet: "Over the years, I always think of the deceased who committed suicide for no apparent reason. Especially Xiao Zeng, hey, I dreamed about him a few days ago, and he told me that he died Injustice, let me, a master, find the murderer so that he can rest in peace. I, I..."

Feng Guozhu forced a smile: "Sorry, sorry, I lost my temper. You are busy, you are busy."

As he pleaded guilty, he walked away quickly.

He Wei snorted: "This is a clever way to put pressure on us."

Lu Ming felt it too.

Feng Guozhu said so many miscellaneous things, but his central idea is only this one.

The progress of our investigation is highly confidential.Feng Guozhu knew some peripheral information, but not the core information.He also couldn't ask his own side, so he could only make indirect remarks in this way.

However, even though he was aware of this, Lu Ming didn't have the slightest dislike towards Feng Guozhu in his heart.

Solving the case is also my wish...

Lu Ming murmured: "This old Feng has a really keen sense of smell. He should have noticed that our case is not going well."

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "Cases that cannot be handled by grassroots security officers can be handed over to the superiors. If we cannot handle cases, no one will take over."

This is responsibility, but also pressure.

Lu Ming once again felt heavy in his heart.

He Wei said: "Why are you talking about this? I'm leaving and eating hot pot."

He Wei drove the car, pulling the two of them, all the way to the suburbs of Blue Lake City.

Lu Ming sat in the co-pilot, staring out the window in a daze.He has been watching, but after looking for a long time, he didn't even see anything in his eyes.

His thoughts had already flown to nowhere.

Nanlin Street, Eight Diagrams Mirror, Zhou Family Memorial Archway, Corpse Throwing Ground, Unjustly Dead Woman, Wu Biao, Dog, Goose, Cat, Zhou Mingsheng...

These elements are constantly circling and colliding in his mind.

He Wei drove for more than an hour.It wasn't until the car stopped and He Wei called him that Lu Ming came back to his senses.

"Are you here? Where is this..."

After getting out of the car, what appeared before Lu Ming's eyes was no longer the prosperity of Blue Lake City, but the rugged mountain roads in the mountains, low houses, and rolling mountains and rivers.

In front of you is a one-story house, and there is an old yellow-haired dog lying comfortably at the door. Occasionally, when someone comes, the old dog just glances at it casually, and then closes its eyes again to take a nap.

There are some tables inside, and the fans on the roof are turning feebly.It looked greasy and messy inside.

"I've asked people, and they all said that this is the most authentic place. Don't look at the bad environment, as long as the food is delicious. Let's go."

He Wei took the lead and walked in with the three of them.

I asked for a private room, ordered a meal, and had to wait a while for the meal to be served.Lu Ming felt that the air inside was not good, so he walked out on his own, and stood at the door, looking at the distant scenery.

At this moment, the fat hotel owner wearing an apron came out with a bowl.Some diners seemed to be watching the excitement, and they also came out after the boss.

"Rhubarb! Work!"

The fat boss yelled, and directly poured the brown soup in the bowl into the iron basin in front of the yellow old dog.

The old yellow dog lazily opened his eyes, stood up slowly, walked to the iron basin, and sniffed carefully.

All the diners and the boss were all attentively watching, and no one made a sound.

Lu Ming couldn't help being curious.

After smelling it, the old dog finally stuck out his tongue and started to drink the soup leisurely.The diners suddenly relaxed and started talking among themselves.

"Old Wu's eyesight, what could be wrong?"

"Look, let me just say, it's definitely all right."

"Old Wu plus Huang, that's absolutely fine."

After finishing the soup, the old dog continued to slowly return to its original position and lie down.Diners are still amazed.

"This dog can be sold for a lot of money."

"Last year, the owner of a big hotel in the city wanted to buy it, asking for [-] yuan, but Lao Wu didn't sell it."

"Tsk tsk, I wouldn't sell it to me."

Lu Ming finally couldn't help being curious, and asked forward, "What's wrong with this dog? What is it drinking?"

A diner laughed and said, "This is the first time I've come here? The mushroom soup that Rhubarb drank, this dog has aura. If the mushroom soup is poisonous, it will never drink it. If it is not poisonous, it will drink it. How many years, has been There is nothing wrong with it. It is all thanks to rhubarb, Lao Wu’s store has not had a single poisoning incident in so many years. You can rest assured when you come here to eat.”

Lu Ming was stunned.

There is a custom of eating mushrooms in Blue Lake City.Mushrooms are delicious and have many fans, but there are also many types of fungi, and many are poisonous.People accidentally eat poisonous fungus, ranging from hallucinations, to death from poisoning.

Every year in Blue Lake City, some people are poisoned to death after eating mushrooms.

This old dog named Rhubarb can distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic. No wonder the restaurant owner regards it as a treasure.

"Tsk tsk, this animal test is well done."

The diners sighed and admired.
