Chapter 10 Chapter 9 The Covenant of the Banshee

Just when I thought the case was close to being closed, Ah Yang called me and said that the Daily Building was "eating people".Longevity God, what a nice building, without a mouth or teeth, how could it eat people up?Because we couldn't make it clear on the phone, Zhen Zhen and I rushed over immediately. It's the Daily News Building, the thirteenth floor, and the Lin family.This building shouldn't have any grudges against the Lin family, right? Why does every accident have something to do with the Lin family?A Yang took us to the corridor. On the wall there was a humanoid figure drawn with cement paste, judging by its height and shape, it was indeed very similar to Ji Xuerong.But what about the mansion that A Yang mentioned cannibalize people?

"Let the eyewitnesses tell you what's going on, I'm still confused!" A Yang threw my question to the security guard He Xi. "It's really terrifying..." He Xi's body trembled slightly, and he told us his terrible experience with lingering fear—— It was about 0:00 in the morning when Mrs. Lin suddenly ran into the security room. She said she had something to report to the newspaper and asked us to accompany her up there.I originally wanted to ask Huang Yu to go with me, but he was slumped on the chair and sleeping, just like before. I pushed him a few times, but he just responded vaguely and continued to sleep soundly.So, I had no choice but to take a flashlight and accompany Mrs. Lin up alone.

As soon as Mrs. Lin came up, she tapped on the walls everywhere. I asked her what she was doing?She said she wanted to make it clear to the banshee, and told her not to harm her family anymore.Hearing what she said, I was dumbfounded. I think she must have a brain problem!However, she is Mr. Lin's wife, and I'm just a security guard. As long as she doesn't make a big mess, I don't have to make trouble with her, lest she ask Mr. Lin to sue me at the property management, and make me lose rice bowl.Although Mr. Lin was arrested by you, who can be sure that he will not be released.

I just followed her like this, watching her knocking on the wall, yelling "Come out, I have something to tell you".She walked almost the entire floor, but the banshee never appeared. Finally, she walked to the current position and knocked on the wall a few times, but there was still no response, but as soon as she took a few steps away, the wall slowly A woman's face appeared. I was following her at the time, she walked a few steps forward but couldn't see the woman's face, but I clearly saw that face "floating" from the wall.It was as if a face emerged from the water, but the water surface was replaced by a wall.As soon as the woman's face appeared, I cried out in fright, not only because of the sudden appearance of this face, but also because I had seen this face before, and I was so frightened and fainted by her when I was on the night shift for the first time.

Fortunately, this time I wasn't stunned by her, and she didn't come for me this time.Mrs. Lin turned her head because of my yelling, and she was shocked when she saw the face on the wall, but soon she came back to her senses and said angrily to the face: "Why do you Framed my family, how could we be sorry for you, why did you do this!" That face...or rather the banshee smiled sinisterly, before replying a moment later: "It's all your husband's fault, that shameless hypocrite." "What's wrong with Lao Lin? You had nothing to do with Lao Lin back then. It's your husband and the construction company who caused you, not him!" Mrs. Lin put her hands on her back and said the words confidently, but I found her body trembling. .

The banshee's face suddenly became extremely ferocious, and she said fiercely: "Is it really none of his business? He could actually save me at that time. When he came to interview, I was still alive, and I could still beg him to save me." If he can stand firm and insist on reporting what happened to me, would the people from the construction company dare to bury me alive? But he chose to accept the red envelope from the construction company against his conscience, treating everything as if he hadn’t seen anything. did not hear it!" "Even if Lao Lin did not save you out of conscience at the time, he was not the one who harmed you. If you want revenge, you can find people from the construction company. Why do you have to trouble us?" Mrs. Lin still supported her with both hands, but her momentum weakened significantly. , The body trembled even more violently.

"The bastards of the construction company, I will never let them go as long as I have a chance, but I will not let you go easily, everyone who has hurt me will die!" The banshee let out a creepy roar , I almost peed out of her scare. Mrs. Lin was also intimidated by her, she couldn't help but took a few steps back, accidentally fell down, sat on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "You, what are you going to do to let us go?" "Hee hee..." The banshee suddenly put on a pleasant expression, "It's not difficult for me to let you go, but there is one condition..."

"What conditions, as long as you are willing to let us go, I will give you anything." Mrs. Lin immediately smiled. "I want you!" The banshee's voice suddenly became extremely cold. "What... what?" Mrs. Lin was trembling all over. "It's too lonely to be alone. If you can come and accompany me, I will let you go. Hee hee... But you will be trapped in this building forever like me." The banshee laughed in the dark It echoed in the corridors, very eerie. Mrs. Lin hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, I promise you! But Lao Lin and the others have been arrested, you have to help me rescue them!"

"That's not easy, young man..." The banshee suddenly looked at me, and my legs were so frightened that my legs went limp, "Listen to me, when the note comes, tell them, the two I killed this man. If they don't believe it, you can tell them to wait here for me tomorrow morning, and I will tell them personally. " After finishing speaking, the banshee asked Mrs. Lin to accompany her without waiting for my answer.And Mrs. Lin walked towards the wall where the banshee was, as if possessed by a demon. When she was face to face with the banshee, suddenly a pair of hands covered in cement stretched out from the wall, hugged her waist and hugged her in. in the walls.At this time, the wall seemed to melt, and her body was sucked in instantly.Moments later, only a humanoid grout pattern remains on the wall...

After listening to He Xi's narration, I stared at the human-shaped pattern on the wall for a long time. Could it be that the banshee is responsible for all this?My God, how will this case be closed?You can't demolish the whole building just to get the banshee out! Demolition of the building will definitely not work, but let the murderer go unpunished, I can't get past my own, and the boss will not agree.It seems that we can only pin our hopes on tonight. If the banshee really appears in the early morning as promised, then tonight may be our only chance to "subdue demons and subdue demons".

It is morning, and there is still a lot of time before the early hours of tonight. Of course, I will not waste this time. As the saying goes, "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles." See if we are fully prepared, so I must know the details of the banshee beforehand.And to understand her, of course, you have to start with Editor-in-Chief Lin.Editor-in-Chief Lin did not mention before that he had arrived at the scene before Chen Yan was buried alive, and there may be something hidden in it. We brought Editor-in-Chief Lin to the interrogation room again for questioning. Before the questioning, I first told him about the mysterious disappearance of his wife. "What? How did this happen, how did this happen?" Perhaps this news hit him too hard, and it was difficult to accept this fact for a while, and his mood became very unstable. "Editor Lin, please calm down! Mrs. Lin is doing this to clear your charges. Please cooperate with our investigation and don't disappoint her kindness. Moreover, this case is also related to your daughter and son-in-law." For To stabilize his emotions, I reminded him that two of his family members were detained. People in their fifties have experienced storms to some extent. He calmed down quickly, but his tone of voice was still very depressed: "How do you think I cooperate?" "According to eyewitnesses, you arrived at the scene before Chen Yan was buried alive. Is this true?" I asked. "Yes, I was a reporter at the time. I rushed to the scene immediately after receiving reports from citizens. Chen Yan was still alive when I arrived." He suddenly lowered his head, and his voice gradually became softer. "Why didn't you tell us you were there before that?" He had voluntarily mentioned the burial incident to us before, but he never mentioned that he was there at the time, which inevitably made people suspicious. "Because that incident is a shame to me..." He sighed, and slowly told the details of the time—— At that time, I was still an interviewer, and I had to go to the news every day. As soon as I received a report call from a citizen, I had to rush to the scene immediately, hoping to get first-hand information. That day the newspaper office received a report call from a citizen, saying that someone fell into a pile at the construction site and was trapped by solidified cement and could not get out.So, I immediately rushed to the scene to interview. When I arrived, people from the construction company were discussing with Chen Yan's husband, Huang Jie, how to deal with the matter.Huang Jie insisted on destroying the entire foundation to save people, but the construction company was of course unwilling, so he had to call his superiors frequently for instructions.While they were arguing, I went to the pile to interview Chen Yan. She kept asking me to save her, but how could I save her?I had no choice but to comfort her, saying that everyone was trying to figure out a way to rescue her soon. After comforting her, I took out my camera and prepared to take some photos for the report. Who knew that as soon as I started taking pictures, people from the construction company ran over and snatched my camera and took out the negatives.I learned from the conversation between them that they planned to compensate Huang Jie 200,000 yuan and let him pour cement into the ground piles to bury Chen Yan alive, and he seemed to have agreed. I was still young and full of blood, so I yelled at them: "What you are doing is murder and a felony to be shot!" As soon as I yelled, they beat me up, and in the end I couldn't stop the tragedy from happening , watching Chen Yan being buried alive by her husband. Every change in Chen Yan’s expression during the process of being buried alive is still fresh in my memory—from panic to fear, from helplessness to begging, from despair to anger...especially when she roared to the sky at the last moment, saying that after death, When he wanted to turn into a ghost to take revenge on everyone, his eyes were filled with flames of anger, and his face became extremely ferocious due to anger and resentment, like a Shura ghost from the abyss of hell.The image of this moment is deeply etched in my mind, and I still can't forget it. Afterwards, the construction company gave me a red envelope and asked me to keep it a secret.Although I really wanted to report this and give Chen Yan justice, the owner of the construction company was backed by senior government officials, so the newspaper did not dare to report this at all.At that time, I deeply realized the helplessness of being a reporter. Freedom of the press and information disclosure are all bullshit. Since this incident, my enthusiasm for journalistic work has gradually cooled, and my conscience has also disappeared. "There is no major event except death", even the dead can't be reported, so what else is worth reporting?I've wanted to be a good reporter since I was a child, but since then, being a reporter has been nothing more than a job to support my family... "Did the construction company give you the red envelope after the fact, not at the time?" After listening to his narration, I discovered a key problem. "They beat me up and drove me away. Afterwards, they handed over the red envelope to me in the newspaper office through my editor-in-chief at the time. If they gave it to me on the spot, I would never accept it, but the editor-in-chief came forward If I don't accept it, I will be too disrespectful of flattery." His tone was very helpless, maybe that's why he felt ashamed. When I heard He Xi relay the words of the water demon and banshee, I thought editor-in-chief Lin accepted the red envelope before Chen Yan was buried alive, but in fact he received the red envelope afterward, and the place was outside the scope of the construction site.If the banshee is Chen Yan, how could she be so powerful and know everything? I suddenly doubted whether the banshee really existed, and there are indeed many doubts in this case. Perhaps when I was analyzing the case, I had always ignored a key person——Ji Xuerong. Why did Ji Xuerong go to the Daily Building to look for the cement banshee?Before that, only two of them had met the banshee once, so why was she sure that she could call the banshee out?And why did she ask for security guards to accompany her?Is it out of fear, or because she needs an "audience"? I can do some little magic tricks, and understand that the main principle of magic is to use people's illusions.For example, the most common magic trick I use is to find small objects such as candies on other people's bodies. In fact, the candies have always been in my hands, but everyone didn't see them. When everyone saw them, the candies had already been transferred to other people.Perhaps Ji Xuerong used magic tricks to trick He Xi, and the environment was very dark at that time, which was very suitable for using such tricks.Of course, it is not easy to achieve the effect He Xi saw and heard, but it is not impossible. Assuming that Ji Xuerong deceived He Xi with magic last night, then her motives are doubtful, and the two deceased are inextricably related to her, so I can't help but make further speculations based on this. Let’s talk about the motive of the murder first. The existence of Ning Yuyi put her daughter’s marriage in crisis, and she may have lied. Maybe what Ning threatened her was not the homosexual photos, but some ulterior secrets of hers; It is not surprising that Huang Jing occasionally vomits bitterness to his wife. In order to prevent her husband from being threatened by others, it is also reasonable for her to kill her ruthlessly. In terms of the time of committing the crime, when Ning Yuyi was killed, she and editor-in-chief Lin were sleeping at home, and editor-in-chief Lin was suspected of himself and was in a husband and wife relationship with her, so his confession cannot be trusted.That is to say, she could not provide effective alibi; and when Huang Jing was killed, she was in the police station, and there was a police officer on duty as evidence... Am I guessing wrong? Perhaps, I should change my thinking, the murderer is not necessarily the same person.Or the murderer was the same person, but not Ji Xuerong.Anyway, when Huang Jing was killed, she was in the police station and it was impossible for her to go back and forth between the two places in an instant, that is to say, she had an alibi. If it is assumed that she did not kill, then of course her actions were to exonerate her family.However, the price she paid for this was not small, because from then on she was a non-existent person who had to give up everything she had now, change her name and surname to live in another place, and even be unable to contact her family for the rest of her life. Although I have made many assumptions, the method of verification is the same, which is to wait for the night to fall.As long as you can meet the legendary concrete banshee, all questions will be answered. At this time, the time agreed by the Banshee was still very early, so I asked Viagra to search for some information related to the Daily Building on the Internet, and he found something suspicious: "There is an employee in the property management company of the Daily Building called Huang Jie..."
