"...Swish, swish... you guys will scare me if you come here. I'm fine, it's just that something new came out of the room..."

"How about it, mushroom?"

"Well, this sounds like the sound of a clockwork. Have you ever seen that kind of wind-up toy?"

"oh."

"Where's that little boy?"

"No, I didn't hear any other sounds, just the sound of this wind-up toy."

"In this case, let's go to Liang Qiyi's place now."

"Miss Liang? Miss Liang, are you at home?"

Boom! Boom!

"Miss Liang!"

Click!

"Ms. Liang, are you okay? That phone call in the early morning..."

"It's okay. Thank you. Thank you too before. No need to investigate anymore. The commission is over."

"Miss Liang, what happened?"

"It's nothing. I just figured it out. They won't hurt me. They are just toys. It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry, and there is no need to investigate."

"Ms. Liang, your current state is very wrong."

"No, I'm in good condition. I just figured it out. You may feel uncomfortable...but there are all kinds of life in this world, right? This is normal."

"Ms. Liang, we have found out Qian Yongqiang's situation. There is a deep relationship between these toys and Qian Yongqiang. Qian Yongqiang may return to China in the near future. This matter needs to be resolved, Miss Liang, it is not what you want That said, there are all kinds of life in this world.”

"But I think that's fine. I'm the one who pays, can I make the decision? I think that's fine. Thank you very much, but that's the end of it."

"Miss Liang!"

"If you come here again, I will call the police and say that you are harassing me. Also, I will transfer the entrusted balance to you today, don't worry. That's it."

"...But I think this is enough...."

"I didn't hear a sound. Was this woman drunk?"

"It may be that my thoughts have been influenced. Or it may be that I have been brainwashed."

"What do you mean? Is there a difference?"

"Uncle Mushroom, your thinking is a bit slow."

"Do you, who is nicknamed an idiot, have the right to criticize me?"

"It means that those toys have the power to influence people's hearts, or they can communicate with people and persuade them."

"Can you talk? Have you never spoken normally before?"

"In the past, all sound-making toys played recordings. However, before they made sounds, they had never shown this function. Wouldn't it be surprising if they had some special abilities?"

"Yes. It should be more convenient if we can communicate. If it is the former situation you mentioned, it is the most troublesome, right?"

"That's right."

"You can't tell the difference between the two situations?"

"No. I don't see any problem with Liang Qiyi."

"There is no yin energy, and there is no evil spirit. Hey, I can't tell what happened to her at all."

"But there is indeed something wrong with her mental state, and her whole person feels different. She was scared and nervous before, but now she is completely relaxed and her mentality has become peaceful."

"That is to say, you are not sure whether she was hypnotized by those toys using special means, or whether she was persuaded by them?"

"Um."

"What should we do? Ye Zi?"

"Monitor first, then watch her actions. Nangong, can you find Qian Yongqiang's flight?"

"He hasn't booked a flight yet."

"Where's his house? Can we go to the empty house now to investigate?"

"Even if you have no social experience, you should have some logical reasoning skills, right? You are such an idiot!"

"Hello!"

"It's impossible for the police to help with the procedures. This is private property. We have just investigated this matter in the community, and the guards and police patrolling the community are also concerned..."

"I can only wait. Alas... Alas, I turned off this recording. Let me tell you, why did you accept the commission to create such serious files and records? It's just a small firm, and it doesn't have financial statements or legal contracts. But this thing..."

On June 14, 2001, the client's residence was monitored and no abnormalities were found.

"...Oh, that girl, I know, she just moved in. She doesn't seem to have a job. She has been staying at home since she moved here. But before, there was some instability at home... I don't know if she offended people outside... "

"Has she behaved unusually these past few days?"

"Who are you to her? Or..."

"We are reporters from the newspaper, and this is our press card. We did an interview with her before, which was related to the community where she lived. She suddenly refused our follow-up interview, and we wondered if something had happened. We don’t know the situation.”

"Oh, that's it...I don't know. I've only met her twice and heard some things from her landlord. She is in a hurry to rent a house, and she seems to be quite wealthy. But rich people You shouldn’t live in our place. It’s just weird.”

"Has there been any strange activity in her house lately?"

"No. Could there be any strange movement here? If there was anything, I would have called the police a long time ago."

"thank you."

……rustle……

"...I didn't notice it. I didn't even know anyone had moved in."

……rustle……

"...If you ask this, the night before yesterday, it should be the night before yesterday, there was some movement upstairs."

"What's the noise?"

"It seemed like something fell down, and there was a loud noise. I was watching TV at the time, and I was startled. Then there was no sound. When I went to bed at night, I seemed to hear another sound, and there was someone walking on the ceiling. That kind of sound, and then there's someone rubbing the floor... Oh, it's scary for me to tell you that."

"Can you describe it in detail? What do you think that sound is?"

"I can't remember this clearly. I was sleeping at the time, and when I got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, I heard some noise. Maybe someone upstairs was also going to the toilet. Who knows..."
