Chapter 63: Someone Behind
Sha Gou just clicked on the video and was about to lean in with Zhong Kui to watch it, when the phone was snatched away by Qi Fei.
"Let's watch it together," Qi Fei said, leaning the phone against the coffee table, and everyone stared at the small screen, concentrating on watching this video.
The video started from the 1980s, using fictional images to tell the story of a new building being built in the city center of a southern city. When an engineering vehicle was reversing, it suddenly lost control and hit the school wall next door.
Accompanied by the screams of a group of students, a sixteen-year-old middle school girl was pressed under the wall. By the time the workers dug out the bricks, the girl was already bloody and had lost her life.
The company that built this building was a big one. The girl's mother had nowhere to turn for help and cursed at the construction site every day, saying that even if this building was built, the people living in it would all die a horrible death.
In the sound of such curses, the building was still built.
The girl's family gradually stopped coming to make trouble.
But the feng shui of this building was really not smooth. First, the young man living on the second floor rode a motorcycle and hit a utility pole and died. Later, a family of four on the third floor died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Two people on the fourth floor disappeared.
What surprised them was that the household in 101 was also in the video. It turned out that Zhou Li was not He Zhixin's original spouse. His original spouse accidentally fell into the water while returning from a night shift twenty years ago and drowned in the river north of the apartment. And the owner of 102 opposite was an old man who died of cancer.
Qi Fei initially watched the video with a disdainful attitude, but gradually he was shocked by the content.
The person who made this video had dug into various death events in this apartment for over forty years, and the effort put into it was more than a little.
The key was that Qi Fei felt he was almost convinced by the video—this apartment building was indeed a bit evil.
"It seems they need someone to exorcise demons!" Zhong Kui watched with interest from the side, and Qi Fei could hear the abacus beads in her heart clattering.
"I'm telling you, before Yue Fengsheng's case is cleared up, don't mess around." Qi Fei warned Zhong Kui.
"That is to say, if I help you solve the case, I can help them exorcise demons?" Zhong Kui immediately caught the loophole in Qi Fei's words.
Sha Gou on the side was clearly full of curiosity about Zhong Kui: "Ah? You are several thousand years old, can exorcise demons... Sister, join my account, let's partner up, it will definitely go viral!"
Zhong Kui looked at Sha Gou and suddenly said for no reason: "I won't join you, and people like you who have stomachaches and headaches shouldn't run to places with such heavy yin energy often."
Sha Gou opened his eyes wide in surprise when he heard this: "How do you know I often have stomach discomfort and headaches?"
"I also know that you can't find the cause of the illness." Zhong Kui smiled wickedly.
"Ah, right!"
"When your traffic is low, is your body even more uncomfortable?"
"How do you know everything?"
"What makes you even more distressed is that there is no cure for these problems. You are in so much pain, and when you see a doctor, they say it's not very serious, right?"
Sha Gou nodded like a garlic clove: "Really all hit! Are you a fox fairy?"
"You guessed it almost right. I am the reincarnation of Huang Daxian. Only I can solve your problem," Zhong Kui raised the corner of her mouth, knowing she had collected another believer.
"Zhong Kui!" Qi Fei interrupted her. "Didn't we agree well just now?"
"This person isn't from the apartment, and besides..." Zhong Kui always liked to lean into Qi Fei's ear to talk, "Isn't this for the sake of solving the case?"
"I believe you, ghost!" Qi Fei said unhappily, and then said to Sha Gou, "Don't listen to her, otherwise your money will be gone. Where is that key of yours?"
"What?" Sha Gou was still immersed in Zhong Kui's charm and didn't react for a while.
"The key to 301!" Qi Fei reminded loudly.
Sha Gou reacted this time, digging into his trouser pocket, and turned it over for a long time: "Ha! Found it!" He was so happy that when he took the key out of his pocket, his hand shook, and he saw the key throw a perfect arc in the air and fall accurately into the hot pot.
"Damn!" Qi Fei felt terrible. Now even the possible clues were gone. "You are really a silly dog!" He couldn't help but swear.
"Oh my god, sorry!" Sha Gou was full of apologies, fumbling with a soup spoon in the hot pot for a long time, but he couldn't fish out the key.
Just as he was spinning around in a hurry, suddenly with a "clatter," the key flew out of the soup and landed in Zhong Kui's hand, which stunned Sha Gou: "I'm going, are you really a god?"
Qi Fei pointed to Zhong Kui's hand and asked calmly: "Where did you get this thing?"
Zhong Kui was holding a black lump in her hand, firmly sticking to the key. It looked like a large magnet.
Zhong Kui said lightly: "Isn't it what he used to pad the rack?" As she spoke, she pointed to the tripod Sha Gou used for filming.
Sha Gou looked and recognized it: "Right, right, I took it from the corner, and it was just right for padding the camera rack. It turned out to be a magnet?"
Qi Fei looked at this unreliable internet celebrity and sighed. Although he knew that the key had been boiled in the hot pot and all the fingerprints on it were gone, he still carefully collected the key, preparing to take it back to the police station for a good check.
Afterward, he looked at Sha Gou: "You said you filmed a lot of material, let me see?"
Sha Gou obediently showed Qi Fei the content he recorded as soon as he entered the door. The video was accompanied by his own nervous commentary throughout. No wonder he could hear that kind of self-talk outside the door just now.
Qi Fei watched the noise, Sha Gou entered the door first, deliberately creating a terrifying atmosphere with a flashlight, turned around in each room, and turned around from time to time, pretending that there was someone behind him. This guy really had his own insights into attracting attention, which made Qi Fei couldn't help but watch.
"Someone." Zhong Kui's voice suddenly came from behind them, scaring the two men.
"Can you not scare people at such a time?" Sha Gou patted his chest, scared by the material he filmed.
Zhong Kui didn't mean to play a prank. She seemed completely unaffected by the messy words in Sha Gou's video and said calmly: "You guys rewind, just the place where you suddenly filmed behind you."
This made the hair on both men's bodies stand up.
Sha Gou obediently rewound. This was an extremely blurry shot, only less than a second. He flipped back frame by frame, and finally, the frozen picture made them gasp.
I saw that behind the door, there was really a black shadow standing quietly. I couldn't see the person's face, only knowing that he must be facing Sha Gou, and might even be watching him in the darkness. ===== CHAPTER 64 =====
