I eat candy in the horror world

"Actually..." The old man's old voice sounded slowly.

He glanced at Song Xi, feeling a little guilty, "Actually, the music score is not mine or family heirloom, I found it from the crack of the sofa."

Song Xi was taken aback, "Picked it up?"

It's not surprising when you think about it carefully, the weird song required composing and writing lyrics at the beginning, and after the completion, the flower farmers learned together.It was a magical ceremony, entrusted with reprimanding those who made mistakes and eagerly demanding fertilizer for ashes.

"Can I take a look?" Song Xi asked, "Don't worry, I'm just curious."

The old man stared at the young man for a while, then got up and entered the room.

Song Xi looked up and looked around. Although the wall skin had peeled off from the outside, it was well protected inside. There were obvious traces of putty on the wall.

Hearing the noise, he looked over, and the old man came out with a notebook.

He took out a piece of yellowed paper from his notebook, "This is the music score I found, the music is very distinctive, it is the lyrics below..."

On the paper, the tune is intact, but the lyrics underneath are blacked out.Song Xi tried his best to piece together a few words from under the black, which was exactly what the flower farmers sang.

"Uncle." Song Xi restrained his panic, handed the paper back as if nothing had happened, and asked casually, "How long have you been working here?"

"It's been five years." Referring to the past, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "All the members of our performance team live nearby. When their public relations team approached us, they said they could pay salaries and donate the profits to the village. We thought the treatment was good, so we came.”

There are not many such conscientious enterprises, Song Xi nodded, "Then have you heard any legends about flower gardens?"

"What legend?" The old man sat up straight all of a sudden, showing a guarded posture.

"I'm not an opponent who deliberately inquired about the news, nor a reporter." Song Xi asked Xiao Jiang to spend some money, "I can guarantee in writing that I will not tell the matter."

People of that era lived in the village for a long time and had little education, but when the old man heard the words "written guarantee", he felt relieved.

He moved the money to himself little by little, "There is no legend, you should know a little bit about what actually happened, that is, the person in the flower garden disappeared overnight."

Xiao Jiang opened his mouth. He thought the driver heard it from someone bragging, but he didn't expect the old man to know it too.Is it possible that someone might disappear overnight without even the police being able to find out?

The narrow, life-filled room felt cool all of a sudden.

Xiao Jiang leaned in the direction of Song Xi, and seeing that his arm was about to lean on the young man, he suddenly couldn't move.

It was as if there was an invisible force standing between him and Song Xi.

Xiao Jiang tried to lean to the right again, but he still couldn't move, his face was bluish and white, as if he had seen a ghost.

Song Xi didn't notice his strangeness, as if he had never heard of the disappearance of people, he said in amazement: "How many people were there in the flower garden at that time, how could they disappear overnight?"

The old man compared a number: "There are about fifty people, and I heard that there is a half-old child." He clicked pityingly, "Poor."

Song Xi's eyes widened in surprise, "Could it be spreading rumors?"

"No way." The old man said excitedly, as if he had been humiliated, "I was in my 40s at the time, and the incident happened in a park not far from the village. How could I not know!"

"Although I have no personal experience, among the people who worked in the flower garden at that time, there was a family member who happened to live in our village. The child's father has not remarried until now, saying that he will wait for the mother and son to return."

Before Song Xi's eyes, the image of Genxu protruding from the little boy's mind flashed past, "Can I meet the little boy's father?"

"Ah, this..." The old man was in a dilemma, rubbing his right thumb against the pad of his index finger.

Xiao Jiang, who was immersed in fright, was suddenly bumped again, and jumped up immediately, looking at him, Brother Song stammered, "What, what's wrong?! Are we leaving!"

He was full of fear for this room, wishing he could disappear in place.

Song Xi frowned and said, "If you don't leave for now, then what..." He gestured and asked for money.

Xiao Jiang's fear disappeared, and he asked for money again!He glared at the old man, bent over and whispered to Song Xi, "Brother Song, you must have encountered a liar."

His little brother Song used to be a good baby at home, but now he is a three-good star in the hands of fans. He doesn't know much about the world, and he knows how to work and cook every day. It's too simple.

Song Xi looked at his hand clutching his purse, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Hurry up, you'll pay back twice."

Xiao Jiang was moved.

The old man held the newly obtained money and took out an old-fashioned brick machine, "I'll call him right away to see if he's at home."

People are here, just finished farm work, and are planning to cook.

When the three of Song Xi arrived, the food was just on the table, simple sweet potato porridge and a fried pork belly.

The man is in a haggard state, and at the age of 40 or [-], his hair is already more than half gray.He didn't care about the guests' visits, and he picked up the bowl and started eating.

"I came from the water town, and I encountered the same trouble as you." Song Xi sat down opposite him. It's not good to lie, but only the same experience can shorten the distance between the two.

Sure enough, the man suddenly put down the bowl and looked at Song Xi in surprise, "You mean your family also..."

The old man frowned, "But didn't you just say..." In the middle of speaking, Xiao Jiang was very good at winking, dragged the person outside the door, and thoughtfully closed the door of the main room for the two of them.

The room was silent, one was breathing lightly, the other was short of breath.

From the man's reaction, Song Xi guessed that he must have heard about the strange things in Linnan Town, and said straight to the point: "I have been looking for them too, and I found out about you by accident. I want to know if there is any similarity between the flower garden and the water town. Maybe I can follow this point and find someone.”

"No." The man said the first sentence, his voice was hoarse like an old bellows, "I've been to the water town, but I didn't find anything."

On the long journey, he finally found a person who was in the same situation as himself. The man excitedly held Song Xi's arm, "I can't find it, they really disappeared, there is no trace, I can't find it, I can't find it... ..."

Song Xi's arm hurt from being pinched by him, and before he could break free, a black shadow struck the man's back.

He raised his hand and tapped lightly on the table, shaking his head, his shadow was like a huge black beast, standing silently behind the man, he didn't return to the young man, but he didn't continue to move either.

Song Xi mouthed to Jiang Su: "Be good."

The shadow swayed for a moment, shrunk back to Song Xi's feet in an instant, and rubbed against his exposed calf as if to please him.

Song Xi pressed the man's shoulder, "Can you tell me, what strange things did they encounter before they disappeared?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jiang's voice sounded outside the door, as if he was talking to someone.

There was so much noise outside that the conversation couldn't continue, Song Xi stood up and opened the door, putting on a pair of sunglasses.He blinked, then blinked twice, staring at the people outside in disbelief, "Wu Xiang?"

Wu Xiang is a middle-aged man with a refined temperament, and his appearance after taking off his sunglasses does not make people think of a role like a private detective, but a gentle and elegant university lecturer.

He nodded to Song Xi, "What a coincidence, you are here."

The man in the room became alert, and asked Song Xi in a bad tone, "Who is he?"

Wu Xiang's handling ability is really good, and he found it here so quickly.Song Xi came out of the sense of absurdity and said haha, "Come and find my friend." He pushed Wu Xiang away, and said quickly, "Leave this to me, you wait for me outside first."

The door closed again, he made up his mind, and returned to the table, "Shall we continue?"

The man looked at him vigilantly, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Yes." After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "When those people disappeared for about a month, my son disappeared, and the child's mother and I called the police, and we followed to find him. It's been a long time and I haven't found it yet."

The disappearance of his son was a big blow to him. Who knew that a month later, his wife also disappeared, together with all the employees who worked in the flower garden at that time.

After hearing this, a thought flashed through Song Xi's mind.

Zero.

The little boy was the first person to be buried in the flower soil, and also the first person to disappear in the flower garden in the real world. He was the number zero missing person, so he was excluded from the other nine numbers!

And it is very possible that the resurrection from the dead also started with the missing person zero.

Song Xi managed to maintain the calm on his face, and then he heard the man ask: "Did you find anything in the water town?"

"No." Song Xi shook his head feebly.

The man was extremely disappointed, as if he had been sucked out of energy, his back was bent, his eyes were dimmed, and he lost interest in everything.Song Xi was afraid that he would be overwhelmed, and comforted him: "Your wife and children must love you very much. If they see you like this, they will definitely feel bad. Take heart, don't let them worry."

Hearing "wife and child", the man regained his spirits.

He rubbed his face, realized his impoliteness, got up and said, "I'll get you a pair of bowls and chopsticks, stay and eat together."

"No, my friend has something urgent to do with me, so I won't stay any longer." Seeing that the man wanted to send him off, Song Xi hurriedly said that he didn't need to.

Outside the door, Xiao Jiang and Wu Xiang looked at each other silently, one was reserved and the other was an old god.

Seeing Song Xi coming out, Wu Xiang stepped forward first: "Although you have checked this person, you can't go back on the money you promised before. In conclusion, you have robbed me of my job."

Song Xi rolled his eyes, "I know, I know, it's my fault, no money will be deducted."

Wu Xiang nodded seriously, "Chat in another place?"

Song Xi: "Okay."

He said goodbye to the old man, and took Xiaojiang and Wu Xiang back to the hotel in the flower garden.There happened to be a lunch buffet in the hotel. Considering Song Xi's status, the staff kindly made a private room for them.

After being seated, Xiao Jiang went to the hall to get some food. Song Xi waited until the door was closed, and asked Wu Xiang: "I entrusted you with two cases, and you are here to investigate the second one, so the first case has some clues? "

"Yes." Wu Xiang is very keen, especially the sixth sense. He got up and walked around the private room, and said with a frown, "Why do I always feel that someone is watching me?"

Song Xi glanced at the shadow behind Wu Xiang. Jiang Su was very repulsed by others approaching him. Ever since he saw Wu Xiang, a stranger, he had always maintained a very tense and restrained state.

Song Xi quietly gestured to him, and the shadow behind Wu Xiang faded a lot.Without realizing it, the shadow got under the tablecloth and turned into a child.

Song Xi sank his fingertips into his hair, slid it down, and pinched his face lightly.

"Huh?" Wu Xiang looked behind himself, and the feeling of being watched disappeared.He attributed this to himself thinking too much and started talking about work instead.

"The Laifu Hotel you asked me to check was built in XX, and the Laifu Group was involved in the project at that time. This is a big event for the local government, and they attach great importance to it. When it opened, the leaders of the city even went to cut the ribbon. "

But I know that something happened the day after the ribbon cutting. A family of three came to travel and all died in the hotel.

This incident caused a great sensation. A good hotel was involved in a murder case just after its opening. Many good people took this as a hot spot, saying that it was because the hotel’s feng shui was wrong, and the family of three were killed by ghosts.

Song Xi: "Where is the murderer?"

"you guess."

"..." Song Xi, "I guess the results of the investigation are mine."

It means that the money that should have gone into Wu Xiang's pocket is also his.Wu Xiang quit, and hurriedly said: "It is the father who kills the mother, but it is the daughter who kills the father."

Song Xi almost broke his voice: "What?!"

Wu Xiang spread his hands, "This incident has a very bad impact on Laifu Hotel. They have reached an agreement with the police and the investigation will not be released to the public. I only found out the truth through a friend of a friend of a friend."

Song Xi: "... Let's get to the point."

Wu Xiang: "The girl has mental problems, and she always likes to watch horror movies on weekdays. After her mother learned of her husband's cheating, she hugged her and cried, saying that her father was leaving us and not wanting us anymore."

The mental illness did not weaken the girl's expectation of a complete family. One day, when she was still conscious, she asked her parents to go on vacation. The vacation location happened to be the hotel where her father was the manager.

The next day, the manager asked for leave and took his wife and children to the hotel for vacation as a guest.The gap between the two was too deep. On this day, the couple had an argument over a trivial matter, and finally fought.In a fit of rage, the husband pushed his wife into the water and drowned her.

And when the daughter of the two happened to see that scene.

Song Xi didn't expect so much to be hidden behind his back, "And then?"

Wu Xiang: "The little girl has an obsession, and my father and mother will always be with me."

So when the husband was hiding his wife's body under the bed, the girl sneaked up from behind and stabbed her father in the heart with scissors.She put her father's body side by side with her mother, lay down next to her mother, and ended her own life.

Song Xi: "These things were deduced by the police based on the scene?"

"Well, there is another suicide note." There was no way to take out the sealed evidence, so Wu Xiang handed Song Xi his mobile phone to see, on it was a suicide note secretly photographed by him.

The suicide note read: [I want to be with my parents forever. 】

Song Xi finally understands why there are so many dolls in the Laifu Hotel in the world of horror, because dolls generally don't move, and they will stay by their side obediently and never leave.

Wu Xiang rubbed his chest, "Why are you looking into these things?"

Song Xi: "Curiosity."

Wu Xiang didn't believe it, but he didn't ask too much. It was his job to do things with money, and gossip didn't suit him.

Xiao Jiang came back in the middle of the conversation between the two. He was careful about the barbecue, and he was startled when he heard it, "This is too scary."

Song Xi: "If you are afraid, just surf the Internet to divert your attention."

Xiao Jiang thinks so too.

He has been exposed to many strange things with Song Xi in the past two days, and if he continues to listen, he will be cracked.

Sensing movement on his knees, Song Xi bent down to look down, his shadow shrunk into a black ball and squatted below, there was something strange and indescribable, reminding him of a classic horror movie that Xiao Jiang dragged him to watch before. piece.

Song Xi: "..." It's really exciting.

He pursed his lips, pretending to accidentally drop the spoon, and when he bent down to pick it up, he said to the shadow inside: "Susu, come out."

The three-dimensional outline of the human figure quickly spread to the ground like water, Song Xi straightened up, put the spoon on the bone plate, "I'm going to the bathroom."

The bathroom is outside, walk straight through the corridor, and just turn a corner.

Song Xi glanced at the long shadow behind him, and found a clean compartment to hide in.As soon as the door was closed, a shadow came up, so heavy that Song Xi almost hit the door panel.

He supported the door with both hands, "Susu, get up and open it."

Jiang Su's figure was tall and his shoulders became broad. Song Xi judged from the corner of his eyes that it should be the figure of an adult man.
