Chapter 9 Chapter Seven: The Secret Path of the Camphor Tree

There are two female ghosts, Supervisor Yu is uncharacteristically, a human skin doll with feet connected together... The new clues make the case more confusing, but I believe there is only one truth, and it may be in Room 106. When we came to the concierge of the girls' dormitory, we happened to meet Warden Yu coming out with a large bunch of keys. I explained to her the purpose of my visit and asked to go to Room 106 to investigate again. "I just saw it yesterday, what else is there to see..." Supervisor Yu's attitude was as bad as before, but after he said half a sentence, he immediately changed into a smiling face: "Okay, okay, anyway, I have to patrol the room ,Come with me!"

It is said that women are fickle and can turn their faces faster than turning a book, but the actions of House Supervisor Yu will inevitably make people feel that something is wrong.Although she felt that something was wrong with her, she couldn't be taken back to serve under torture because of this, not to mention there were more important things to do now. The door lock of Room 106 is the same as yesterday, it can be easily opened, and the inside is relatively dark, but with the help of the moonlight shining through the window, we can barely see the situation inside, at least we can see that the female ghost we are looking for is not inside.Warden Yu opened the door and let us in to investigate, but he didn't intend to turn on the lights.

Zhen Zhen walked in first, and fumbled for the light switch by the door, but House Supervisor Yu said, "You don't need to look for it, the light is already broken." "When did it break?" I asked. "Probably last week!" Warden Yu replied casually, letting herself be exposed. Yesterday she said that no one had entered the room for a long time. How could she know that the light was broken last week?However, she obviously didn't realize that she had slipped her mouth. Of course, I didn't intend to expose it on the spot. I understand the truth that it is easy to block a hidden arrow, and it is more beneficial for us to turn a hidden arrow into a clear one.Of course, the premise is that the back arrow does not know that he has been exposed to the sun.

The room is not big, and there are a lot of sundries piled up. If you want to hide, you can only hide in the glove box.But it has been at least fifteen minutes since the female ghost disappeared. If she really got in, fifteen minutes is enough to escape to any corner of the dormitory, or even escape from the dormitory.So, instead of rummaging through boxes like Zhenzhen, and guarding the door like Xueqing, I immediately went to the window to check the window sill. Yesterday, when I was smoking in front of the window, I deliberately flicked the ash on the window sill. If the window was opened during this time, the ash must have been blown away by the air convection when the window was opened.But when I shone my flashlight on the window sill, the ashes were still there, and hadn't changed much since I left yesterday.That said, the windows haven't been opened, at least not since I left yesterday.

The windows were not opened, and unless the female ghost could pass through the walls, it would be impossible to get into the room.If she can pass through the wall, she might not stay here until we catch her, and she won’t find anything if she stays here. It’s better to close the team early and go to the camphor forest with the technical team tomorrow to collect it. The clues left by the female ghost. When I woke up, there were only five days left before the deadline set by the boss to solve the case. In order not to join the laid-off army, I came to the crime team office on time, and together with Zhenzhen, Xueqing and Miaomiao, I reported the progress of the investigation to the boss who was reading newspaper stock reviews .After the report, the boss asked me what I thought, and I analyzed the information I got one by one——

First, Ye Xiaolou has already died, the possibility of him being the murderer is almost zero, and the possibility of ghosts haunting him can also be regarded as zero, because the so-called female ghost fled in a hurry after being shot, and even if the bullet can hurt the ghost It is also unheard of in ghost legends. Second, the female ghost is by no means alone, it must be a group of more than two people.One of them is very powerful, but she has a gunshot wound, so it is not difficult to find her out.Moreover, she shed a lot of blood in the camphor forest, and collecting her blood can more effectively determine her true identity.

Third, Warden Yu is likely to be related to this case, and the possibility of him being the mastermind cannot be ruled out, so we must focus on the investigation. Fourth, Professor Xiao and Xiao Yixuan are father and son, and their behavior is abnormal. It cannot be ruled out that it has something to do with the disappointment of the Provincial People's Hospital. Fifth, the human skin doll left by the female ghost may provide some clues, and it has been handed over to the technical team for analysis and testing. After listening to my analysis, the boss still didn't take his eyes off the newspaper in his hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "I have spoken to the leaders of the Provincial People's Hospital, and they are well aware of the disappointment, and it is almost certain that Xiao Yixuan did it. However, because of his father Xiao Guoqiang's relationship, they can only turn a blind eye to this matter. They hope that the police can handle this matter in a low-key manner, and don't touch Xiao Yixuan until there is sufficient evidence, otherwise The relationship with Xiao Guoqiang has become tense, and they can't bear to go around."

"How capable is Professor Xiao, that the leaders of the hospital are so afraid of him? Just arrest both father and son!" Zhen Zhen said disdainfully. "That's a good question, let Amu explain it to you!" The boss threw the question to me and continued to read the newspaper.I had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Professor Xiao is an important figure in the medical field. We have to uproot him, or we can't act rashly. Among other things, it is a problem just because he is full of peaches and plums. If he pretends to be persecuted and instigated It would be a big trouble if his students escaped. You must know that his students are all elites in the field of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, especially in the Provincial People's Hospital. At least he has a certain friendship with him. What if they all run away? If the hospital's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular departments are evacuated, can the hospital's leaders still have good fruit to eat? If he loses his mind and vomits bitterness to the media, Once the public pays attention to this matter, even if the provincial government orders to block the news, the discussion on the Internet will not be suppressed. At that time, our actions will be greatly hindered."

"Don't you just let it go?" Zhen Zhen's angry look was full of hatred and hatred. "To beat a snake, you need to hit it seven inches, not grass, so go find a snake-beating stick!" the boss said without looking up at the newspaper. "What do you mean, what does it have to do with the case?" Zhen Zhen's words made me suspect that her IQ is not over 90, so I said to her, "Boss wants us not to startle the snake, and we have to wait until we deal with Professor Xiao." Gather enough evidence and beat him to death with a stick." "I just didn't hear clearly for a while, you need to talk too much." Zhen Zhen was unconvinced and wanted to save some face.

"Okay, stop playing tricks and go to work." The boss waved his hand to signal us to leave. "Don't rush to treat us like donkeys, I still need your help!" I said to the boss. The boss glanced at me: "Borrow money without asking!" I smiled: "I don't have any money to spend, so I will ask my sister-in-law to borrow it. I don't need to bother you, boss. What I want is the 'Eight Big Items'." The boss glanced at me again: "Don't you don't like to use guns? You didn't want them before, so why are you begging me now?"

"It used to be covered by Xiaoxiang, but the situation is different now. You have to think about my personal safety! But, I don't want a gun this time, just get me some anti-riot spray." "It's not easy if you want a gun, just write you a note and go get it directly." The boss put down the newspaper and issued a certificate for me. The so-called "eight major items" are actually the basic equipment for the police to patrol the streets. They are: pistols, magazines, handcuffs, retractable batons, anti-riot sprayers, flashlights, walkie-talkies and notepads.I don't need a pistol. With my shooting level, the standard five bullets can hit the suspect's heel, even if I study the "Three Represents" seriously.And we already have handcuffs, batons and the like are not very useful to me, so I just need riot spray. Now that the certificate has been issued, it might as well get some equipment for others. Xueqing was already equipped with a pistol, so she didn't ask for new equipment.Zhenzhen asked for a telescopic baton, and Miaomiao, like me, asked for a riot spray.Because Viagra is a "temporary worker" and his ideology and morals are not good enough, he has nothing. After getting the certificate issued by the boss, I did not rush to get the equipment, but asked Viagra to help me search for information about "mermaid syndrome" on the Internet. "This disease is very rare, and the probability of occurrence is only one in 70,000. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been only a handful of cases in the country, and it is rare in the world." Viagra took less than a minute to heal give me answer. "Is genetics the cause of this disease?" I tossed a Viagra cigarette. "Yes, but it's just one of the possibilities. The medical community knows very little about this disease. They only know that most of the patients die within a short period of time after birth. Only one foreign patient can live to be sixteen years old." Viagra puffed out a cigarette Quan said, "You can't find Ye Xiaolou's concubine with this, because there is no record of such a case in the province." As Viagra said, I really wanted to use the "mermaid syndrome" to find out who handled the meat in Ye Xiaolou's belly, because I suspected that the human skin doll was made of her child's skin, but unfortunately my wish fell through. . After receiving the equipment, we went to the Medical University again. Xueqing and Miaomiao continued to monitor Professor Xiao, while Zhenzhen and I went to Zhangshulin to assist colleagues in the technical team to collect evidence and spared no time to investigate the supervisor Yu. When we arrived at Camphor Forest, the colleagues in the technical team were already busy. Their team leader was a beautiful woman named Gui Yuetong, who was an old acquaintance with me, but... "Wow, Ah Mu, it's so good to see you, I thought you'd been slaughtered by a thief long ago." Yue Tong's greeting to me was really embarrassing. "Thanks to Miss Gui, I'm still living tenaciously like Xiao Qiang." After nodding to her like a pug, I introduced Zhen Zhen beside me: "This is my partner, her name is..." Before I finished speaking, Yue Tong took Zhen Zhen's hand and said affectionately: "Be careful when you partner with Ah Mu, he is very unreliable, he lost my boyfriend It's been two years, and there is still no news..." Yuetong's boyfriend is my old partner Xiaoxiang. He disappeared mysteriously two years ago, and there is still no news of him.As his partner, I can't say that I am not responsible for this, so I can't hold my head up in front of Yuetong. Although every time we meet, Yue Tong will not give me a good face, but she will definitely not delay her work because of this, otherwise she would not be able to climb up to the position of the technical team leader at the age of twenty-six.Before we arrived, she and her subordinates had collected evidence at the scene of the shooting of the female ghost. After I told her about the encounter with the female ghost last night and the escape route of the female ghost, she led the subordinates to collect clues on the female ghost's escape route. . We walked towards the edge of the forest in the direction the female ghost escaped, and we could find bloodstains left by the female ghost along the way, but the closer we got to the edge of the forest, the less blood on the road. When we came to a tall white camphor tree, there was No more blood was found.After Yuetong signaled her subordinates to go to the Baizhang tree to collect evidence, she talked to Zhenzhen, but her words were obviously intended for me: "Based on the blood loss of the prisoner at the shooting scene, she would die from excessive blood loss before she escaped from the woods." Coma or even shock. However, less and less blood was found on her escape route, which is almost impossible, unless she bandaged the wound immediately after being shot, or had an incredible self-healing ability." "She ran away immediately after being shot, and she didn't have time to treat the wound at all," I said. "If she really has such an amazing self-healing ability, then her wound is likely to have healed, and it may be very remote to find her based on the gunshot wound." Yue Tong still spoke to Zhen Zhen. "Captain!" Lang Ping, Yuetong's subordinate, clipped a piece of blood-stained rag from a white camphor tree with a clip, and reported: "This piece of rag should have been caught by a branch when the prisoner escaped. Look... He pointed to the branch from which the rag was removed. "The branch from which the rag was removed is about two meters high, and there is still a small amount of blood on the tree." "Take it back for testing, maybe it can provide clues." After Yuetong said, he and Lang Ping and others surrounded the white camphor tree to continue collecting evidence. This white camphor tree is at the edge of the woods and has lost all its leaves and appears to be dead.Judging from the position where the rags were hung and the blood stains on the tree, the female ghost must have climbed to the tree last night to escape Xue Qing's pursuit. After Yue Tong and others finished the evidence collection work, I tried to climb up the tree, but it was not easy to climb up, and I did not climb up after climbing for a while.Seeing that I couldn't climb up, Zhen Zhen pulled me down and climbed up the tree like a monkey.However, after a while, she screamed and fell down, and the whole camphor tree fell down—the camphor tree was actually hollow!At the top of the tree there is a hole that only adults can drill into, leading to the roots. Lang Ping and others moved the camphor tree that was holding Zhen Zhen away, while Yue Tong pulled her up.She didn't climb very high when she fell, and the hollow camphor tree might not be able to crush her to death, so I ignored her, just squatted down and stared at the dark cave that appeared after the camphor tree fell. This cave is not big, it can only allow an adult to drill in, and it is inclined at a 30-degree angle to the direction of the girls' dormitory. Because the sunlight can't shine into the cave, it's not clear how deep it is. After Zhen Zhen got up, she came over and wanted to kick me, blaming me for ignoring her life and death, but when she saw the hole on the ground, she slowly put down the slender legs she just raised. I asked Lang Ping for a pocket flashlight, and I was about to go into the cave to check it out, but Yuetong held me back: "You don't want to live, you didn't help me find Xiwang, so don't die so early." I gently pushed her hand away and said with a smile: "I will never die until I return my little face to you intact." Then I said to Zhen Zhen: "Immediately ask the fire brigade for support, I will go down first Look, come out within fifteen minutes if you don't find it." Then he went into the dark cave. After getting into the cave, I immediately took out a windproof lighter from my pocket and lit it. Although there was a flashlight for lighting, the flame of the lighter could let me know the oxygen content in the cave. Once the flame went out, I had to leave immediately. The cave is not as deep as imagined. After diving for about four meters, it no longer slopes down, but a relatively balanced passage.After continuing to climb for about ten meters, I climbed into a relatively spacious space.The limited light of the pocket flashlight allowed me to see clearly that this was a stone chamber of about forty square meters, and a pair of sarcophagi without a coffin lid was impressively placed in the center of the stone chamber.I think I found the tomb that Uncle Liu said. As Uncle Liu said, this tomb is very simple, without any gorgeous decorations, only simple four-sided stone walls, and a very simple sarcophagus, and the coffin lid is placed next to the sarcophagus.Perhaps it was the reason for the construction of the dormitory. There were several landslides in the stone room, and there were many sandstones on the ground.I took a look inside the sarcophagus with a flashlight, and there was nothing inside.After searching the tomb for a while, there was nothing special except that there was another opening in the wall on the right side of the sarcophagus.This hole is a little smaller than the one I came in, but it still allows me to climb in, and I can smell a bad smell just close to the hole. Use a flashlight to shine into the cave, and you can see reflections in the depths, and there should be water inside.Squeezing his nose and crawling in, the end turned out to be a sewer where people could bend over and stand.When I was about to search ahead, the flame of the lighter suddenly went out, and the stench of sewage and filth under my feet made me feel dizzy.Obviously, the air quality here is very poor. Staying for a long time may kill me. Let the firefighters who are fully equipped to search for it! I can't help feeling my scalp tingle as I crawl back down the sewers into the tomb—someone is standing next to the sarcophagus.Because of the lack of light, I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but judging by the figure, it should be a woman.Could it be the baby girl ghost?Longevity God, I don't want to be so short-lived. I met her in this kind of place, and she blocked the exit. What should I do!
