Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Getting to know Qin Hai

Three months passed smoothly, and New Year's Day was approaching in a blink of an eye. The school was going to organize a performance, and I was assigned to play the role of an old man pulling carrots in a play.After school, I had to rehearse with my classmates, and it was late to go home every day.A few times, the rehearsal was late, and only students from our class were left in the school. But soon, I felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that someone was watching me in the dark.It's not that I was overwhelmed, because I saw a man in a beige trench coat and a photochromic mirror several times in a row at the school gate. On the way home, I could feel him following me all the way, which made me nervous.But I can be sure that this person is not Huang Ziwen. Although his expression left a deep impression on me when we parted, I know that there is no end to my relationship with him.But this person is indeed not, he is stronger than Huang Ziwen, but not as tall as him.

Whether this person is really following me or not, I am not sure. It is entirely possible that he is someone who works near the school, and I just happened to see him a few times.I couldn't discuss it with anyone, but I made preparations and hid a switchblade in my schoolbag.I bought it from a small stall in front of the school, and the quality was particularly poor. Most students bought it to sharpen pencils. If they were used for self-defense, the blade would break if they encountered thicker clothes.It's okay to scare people, but really deal with people, there is no hope at all.I bring such a thing, which is to give myself courage.

On the last day of December, I finished my rehearsal and it was already late.After leaving the school, it was already dark, I hurried home, and inadvertently, I found the man in the beige windbreaker again.He was walking across the road, roughly parallel to me, looking at me.Suddenly, I panicked, and hurriedly took out the switchblade and hid it in my hand.I didn't take two steps, and suddenly, a hand was on my shoulder, and I heard a gloomy voice behind me saying: "Brother, let's have a good chat." After saying that, he threw me into the flower bed by the roadside. push away.Without even thinking about it, I flashed the switchblade and turned around with a swipe. The other party reacted quickly and immediately took a step back.I took a closer look, and then I saw clearly that the person who came was actually Huang Ziwen in a black jacket.His face was pale and thin, and under the dim streetlight, he looked like a ghost.At this time, Huang Ziwen, who was smiling but not smiling, also looked at me and said contemptuously: "I also brought a knife, do you dare to use it?"

I was extremely nervous and said, "Our affairs are all misunderstandings. Now that we have figured it out, why are you still here?" He said with a sinister smile: "You said that a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding? You have ruined my good deed, and a misunderstanding is enough?" I looked at the people coming and going on the street, and thought that since he picked this place to attack, he would naturally not do anything too outrageous.But then, my idea was proved wrong, because Huang Ziwen suddenly pulled out a gleaming silver stick from his waist, and when he popped out the other end, my heart broke immediately.The top section of the stick turned out to be a conical hollow spike, extremely sharp.Under the night, although there are many people, the line of sight of the crowd is blocked, so no one will notice.A murder is about to be staged. This is the second time in my life that I really feel the threat of death close at hand. The feeling is beyond words.The unexpected situation I encountered when I was nine years old, I only felt fear at the time, but today, I am extremely terrified.

The moment Huang Ziwen made a slamming posture and was about to strike, suddenly, the man in the beige windbreaker had quietly appeared behind him, holding a pitch-black baton in his right hand, and there was a muffled bang. With a loud noise, it hit Huang Ziwen hard on the back of the head.As Huang Ziwen fell to the ground without saying a word, a group of spectators gathered around in a very short time. "Beige windbreaker" kicked the swinging stick from Huang Ziwen's hand away with his foot, and asked me, "Are you all right?" I didn't recognize the man until he got close. He was actually the youngest policeman in the police station I met when I called the police that day. It's just that he was wearing a police uniform and a police cap. At this time, he was wearing A beige trench coat and a photochromic mirror.Because he was not too familiar, I couldn't recognize him in the first place.

I nodded.The policeman comforted me, "Don't worry, this kid won't hurt you." After he finished speaking, he was about to take the handcuffs from his belt behind his back.Suddenly, Huang Ziwen stood up abruptly, bumped his head, and hit the little policeman's face.The little policeman was attacked by this, and covered his face in pain.Huang Ziwen took the opportunity to rush out of the crowd and ran away. The police hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up." After speaking, enduring the pain, he picked up Huang Ziwen's discarded stick and chased after him. The roar of the little policeman made me subconsciously follow.The real target of Huang Ziwen's conspiracy is me, and there is no reason not to follow.The three of us formed three points in the front, middle and back, running in a straight line.

The three of them were all in good physical condition. After running wildly for a long time, Huang Ziwen ran under a wall, stepped onto the fully enclosed garbage room under the wall with only one step, and then climbed over the wall vigorously.That wall is the north wall of Huatan Park, and inside the wall is the purple bamboo forest located in the north area of ​​Huatan Park.When we climbed over the wall, Huang Ziwen didn't change his route at all, and went straight into the purple bamboo forest. As it was getting late, after landing, the little policeman hesitated, so he handed over his baton to me, and whispered: "Follow me, pay attention to safety." After finishing speaking, he took the baton himself and took the lead walked in.

At this time, the purple bamboo forest was pitch black, so I listened carefully, and heard the sound of people running on fallen leaves.The police turned on the flashlight they carried with them, and they saw Huang Ziwen's clear back, and we immediately followed. After chasing into the depths of the purple bamboo forest, Huang Ziwen suddenly ran into the rockery in the open area in the middle.This is simply deception, we are not blind, I always wonder if his brain is broken, I can be sure that it is only a matter of time before Huang Ziwen is arrested. We walked carefully into the cave of the rockery and searched patiently, but after searching for a long time, we couldn't find Huang Ziwen.We are all a little puzzled, is there a secret passage here?After searching carefully for a long time, even the ground seams and walls were carefully checked, but nothing was found.The little policeman thought for a while and said, "Let's go around and look at the back. It's only a little bit bigger than a palm, so it's impossible not to miss him."

When we walked out of the cave of the rockery, we unexpectedly found that we were in trouble.In my impression, the rockery covers a small area, a maximum of one or two hundred square meters, and you can climb to the top in two or three steps. At this moment, it suddenly becomes tall, deep and wide, and it seems to suddenly become an eerie deep mountain forest.At present, the mountain rocks with strange shapes look like jagged rocks. Under the reflection of the moonlight, those green stones look eerie and strange.No matter how we circle around, we will eventually circle back to the original place.Looking at the place to stand on, it seems to be a stone road, surrounded by dense thorns, as if you are in the middle of a mountain, with mist and mist going down, it is invisible, and the mountain is towering up, and a bright moon seems to be shining. On top of the mountain.

Even if I was killed, I would never have imagined that the scenic spot that I was very familiar with would suddenly become like this.Seeing that the little policeman was watching all this with a frown, I couldn't help but ask, "Did we encounter a ghost hitting the wall?" He thought for a long time, then shook his head and said: "It's definitely not a ghost hit the wall. The ghost hit the wall just let you wander around the same way, but obviously, we are not on the same track. It seems that we should have entered a Fengshui phantom formation." I was a little surprised, and asked, "Phantom Soul Formation? Is it the ecstasy formation mentioned in the novel?"

The little policeman frowned even more, and replied: "There are too many things you don't know. This is not the Miraculous Array, this is the Fengshui Illusory Soul Array." I was a little baffled: "What's the difference?" The policeman looked around, and said with certainty: "To be precise, the arrangement of this rockery is special, but we can't see it. At a certain moment, this specially arranged rockery will appear. Our unexpected changes will captivate the mind and make it impossible for people in it to get out of this small area. I guessed right. Ever since Huang Ziwen buried the dummy, I knew it must not be as simple as he said. See Come on, he actually practiced the ancient formation in this purple bamboo forest. The Fengshui Phantom Soul Formation is the simplest ancient formation, and beginners usually use it to practice their hands. It seems that this kid is in big trouble." The more strange things he said, the more strange I became: "How do you know these things, do you have training on this in your police force?" He laughed for the first time, and said, "Don't be wild, whoever trains you in this kind of thing is a violation of police discipline. Do you understand what feudal superstition is?" I was even more surprised: "Then how do you know?" "Well, it looks like we won't be able to get out tonight, so let me tell you a story." After that, we both sat down against a big rock.I took out a pack of cigarettes and gave them to him.After he took it, he stared at me for a while in surprise, and said with a smile, "You guys are all right now." After lighting the cigarette, the policeman exhaled a long puff of smoke and said calmly, "My name is Qin Hai, and I am originally a criminal policeman from the Criminal Police Team of the City Bureau. The reason why you saw me at the police station is because I was arrested I have been assigned. The reason for this, if you tell ordinary people, no one will believe it, but I did experience some strange things..." I believe that if Qin Hai knew what I experienced as a teenager at that time, he would definitely not follow me. I tell his story.Every time I think of this, I secretly feel a little proud. "This matter starts with a case I encountered a year ago. In fact, until now, I still can't figure out the reason for it, but one thing is for sure, this case is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Then It was one month before the Chinese New Year. Everyone was in a good mood, and we planned to prepare for the Chinese New Year. That year, the incidence of vicious cases here was not high, so we all thought that we would have a good year, but it happened at that juncture. Something happened online. We received a report that Feng Qihui, the boss of Jincheng Investment Company, was killed. The body was found at the gate of the municipal garbage station. Because of the special identity of the victim, we judged that it was likely to be a murder for money, which was also confirmed through the investigation of the relatives and friends of the deceased. The confidential information of Jincheng Investment Company was lost, but this Later, according to the testimony of Feng Qihui's secretary, Feng Qihui personally took the materials on the morning when the body was discovered, so we judged that it was because Feng Qihui had this material that he was murdered. Since the murderer was not for money but It was for the sake of information, so we locked in a circle, thinking that the murderer should be Feng Qihui's competitor, so the direction of investigation was temporarily headed towards this area. At the case analysis meeting, a little question was raised about this generally agreed view—if the murderer really killed people for information, why did he take Feng Qihui’s heart and then sew up the wound, isn’t it superfluous?” Speaking of this, Qin Hai smiled helplessly, and continued: "I was really a stunned young man at that time. After saying this, all comrades stopped talking, and everyone, including the captain, smoked cigarettes silently. Smoke, I thought I was right, and I was so proud. Later, a task force was set up, and no one asked me to participate in the meeting. It’s all up to this point, but I still don’t understand. Not long after, I met Dr. Wang, the forensic doctor of the Municipal Bureau who performed the autopsy for Feng Qihui, and asked casually about the results of the examination. He told me that the death time of the deceased should be around thirty-five hours. I calculated it in my mind and found that Feng Qihui On the day of the corpse, he went to the office to pick up things. How could he have been dead for more than thirty-five hours? Didn’t he go to the company to pick up things after he had been dead for a day and a half. Then what did his secretary see? It should be A dead body is right. Thinking of this, I went to Dr. Wang and pointed out his mistake. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Dr. Wang jumped three feet in anger, pointed at his nose and said that I don’t know how to work God, I dare to pick his mistakes. I am also young and energetic, and I think that I am a top student who graduated from the police academy, so I quarreled with Dr. Wang on the spot. Who knew that Lao Wang had high blood pressure, and I fainted immediately , This is not a big thing, but it is not over yet. Although I feel sorry for Lao Wang in my heart, I still ran to the captain and raised objections to the autopsy results. The captain didn't say anything at the time. I just told me implicitly not to worry about this matter anymore. As a result, I impulsively complained to the provincial department. Now, the matter was even more irreconcilable. The provincial department specially reorganized an autopsy team for this matter. The dead body tissue was re-examined, and compared with the previous data, it was concluded that Feng Qihui's death time was indeed around 35 hours. Now, it's my turn to be depressed. I even think it's the result of mutual protection by officials, anyway. At that time, my mind seemed to be controlled by someone, and I just didn't believe the results of the appraisal. They didn't give me a chance to correct my mistakes again, and soon I was transferred from the city bureau and assigned to a grassroots level, starting over. But Holding my breath, I decided that there was a mistake in this case, so I launched an investigation on my own, including the re-collection of materials, but no matter how I analyzed the results I got, there was no big difference from the original results. When I was depressed, I seriously considered whether I was really wrong." I kept looking into Qin Hai's eyes in the dark.Whenever he talked about his persistence, his eyes immediately brightened a lot, but when he talked about mistakes, the two cold lights immediately dimmed.It's obvious, especially when he talks about how reluctantly he confronts his mistakes, the way his eyes dry up like a dry well.I knew in my heart that the painful and contradictory mood he experienced at that time was by no means as relaxed as his tone now.This is the first time I have experienced the damage setbacks can do to a person.When all the evidence proves that Feng Qihui's secretary did not lie and that it was Feng Qihui himself who took away the confidential information, then this case is really weird. If it is not for other special circumstances, it can only be explained as a high IQ crime.I feel a little sympathetic to Qin Hai, it's really unfortunate that such a case has just started working. At this time, Qin Hai took out a pack of three-five cigarettes, gave me one, lit it, and said calmly: "Not long after that, I heard some rumors one after another that Feng Qihui was not only killed , and even defrauded the corpse, this is only limited to rumors, of course the city bureau will not draw such a conclusion. However, I heard a relatively complete statement later, this statement is inferred based on evidence, the conclusion It is very contradictory, that is, Feng Qihui personally went to the company to take out the information on the second day after his death, and the information was lost, and the phone information of Feng Qihui's home also showed that he had made four calls outside after his death, and the people who received his calls were A funeral home, a textile company, a big hotel in the city, and his own mobile phone. Don’t you think it’s inexplicable?” My mind was also completely confused, and I said a little mischievously: "No one is next to each other in these units. Could it be that Feng Qihui has acquaintances in those units, knowing that he is dead, and wants to say goodbye to relatives and friends?" Qin Hai took a deep breath of cigarettes, and his expression became tired again. He said: "The matter has completely exceeded the scope of what I can think of. From the professional knowledge I have received, once the dead person dies, it is impossible for the dead person to do anything. However, the problem is that these evidences clearly tell all the staff involved in the investigation that what happened afterwards is true and credible, and cannot be overturned at all. Therefore, the investigation has entered a deadlock, and no one dares to easily break through it. This is a fact that everyone knows and actually exists. Because no one is as stupid as me, this is a dead end, no matter how powerful a detection expert encounters such a case, he will hesitate, and only a fool will plunge into it." When I heard this, I also felt very depressed, and asked, "Is this case just going to end like this?" "I'm still investigating." Qin Hai's sentence was the shortest, only four words, but his tone was extremely firm.Although this is the second time I have met him and we haven't known each other for a long time, after the chat just now, I can confirm that this person is definitely an upright person. After a while, he said again: "With the deepening of the investigation, I came into contact with some unbelievable truths, and I realized that besides the fingerprints of the murderer and the deceased, there was a trace of a third party at the scene. Based on material judgments, this person should have entered the house before the murderer killed the deceased. In other words, if this person can be found, then the truth will be revealed to the world. As for the ancient formation of Feng Shui, I don’t have much contact with it. The concept is generally related to the traditional Chinese Feng Shui. Some people can use the natural habits of these natural rocks and plants to harm people or even kill people. This kind of phantom soul formation is the lowest ancient formation. , There is also a particularly evil killing formation that has been handed down in the world, they call it the Heavenly Fiend Bureau, once you enter it by mistake, there is no possibility of surviving." I was really surprised: "There are so many weird things in the world, and you just listened to others?" Qin Hai nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, I heard this from an expert. If it wasn't for this case, I wouldn't have had the chance to know about it, and even if I knew it, I wouldn't believe it. But now I completely believe it Yes. Really believe it!" I listened carefully to Qin Hai's words, and suddenly felt a shadow dangling in front of my eyes. My intuition made me involuntarily raise my head and look up. Under the cold moonlight, I suddenly saw a person with skin so pale The blood-colored woman is quietly crawling down from above our heads.Her long hair covered her face, only her eyes and face were vaguely exposed, her expression was dull and her appearance was strange. I was completely petrified, gasped for air, and pointed upwards with trembling hands. Fortunately, I had a companion, otherwise, I would really be scared to death.Qin Hai looked in the direction I pointed, his expression changed, and he scolded: "You bastard, you want to kill people here, there shouldn't be things that kill people in the ecstasy formation, this is a big taboo." Whether it is taboo or not, I can't tell for a while, but the woman is getting closer and closer to us. I can see it clearly in my eyes, and I am afraid in my heart, and my legs shake involuntarily like chaff. The woman was on all fours and quickly crawled up in front of us.Suddenly, her head shook vigorously, revealing her mouth covered by her hair. In her widened mouth, she revealed a mouthful of white teeth. Her expression was ferocious, and she seemed to be smiling strangely. It was indescribably terrifying. Suddenly, I realized that this was the dummy buried underground by Huang Ziwen.Due to the close distance, I could clearly see the blue shroud she was wearing, which was covered with dust.But it...how did "she" live? Before he could figure it out, Qin Hai grabbed my hand and said, "No matter what happens, don't move around, this is just an illusion." Hearing what he said, I was a little relieved.Looking at this woman again, after approaching us, her speed suddenly slowed down, getting closer little by little, and she was about to face to face, and I could see her weird expression more clearly.At this moment, I felt that Qin Hai was holding my hand tighter and tighter, cold sweat broke out in his palm, and seeing that his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't dare to open them at all, I suddenly suspected that he was lying to me, This thing is not an illusion at all. Immediately, my heart was lifted into my throat, and suddenly, I saw the puppet suddenly aimed its pale face at me, and the big mouth opened made me feel that it was going to bite me to death, and I couldn't help it. He hurriedly raised the baton in his hand, ready to defend himself, but was held down by Qin Hai: "Don't mess around. This is just a puppet, we are not in danger." Qin Hai was right. Although the puppet looked terrifying, it only bared its teeth and claws to scare people, and did not pounce on it as I expected.Gradually, I regained my composure from the extreme panic, and Qin Hai's mood gradually calmed down.After standing for a while, we got impatient and sat down again.I looked around and asked, "But how do we go back?" "As I said, all of this will happen within a certain period of time. After dawn, everything will disappear naturally. Otherwise, there will be more people playing in the park. If everyone has seen this formation, the secret Isn't it revealed long ago? In the middle of the night, there will naturally be no one in the park. Unless there are special circumstances for the garden guards, who would come to such a gloomy place? However, since it is an ancient formation, it must be used to harm people Yes. Many things that you see in your eyes can’t be believed at all. For example, if you look at a flat mountain road in front of you, it may actually be a certain fault or cliff. If you walk over it accidentally, you may lose your balance and fall Go down. Just say that the rockery in front of you, if you fall down and fall into the pile of rocks, it will be enough for you." In the state of the "backup dance" of the puppet, we sat on the stone and fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, and suddenly a bird called woke me up.
