Paranormal Case

  Xue Pinhan gazed deeply at her and said, "Let's go take a look at the surveillance footage first, as for the time of death, the forensic expert will make further analysis, we'll discuss this issue later."

  The wind blew gently, not strong, but with a thick eerie atmosphere. Su Yingzhen couldn't help but hug her arms tightly. Old Yang couldn't bear it and took off his coat to hand it over to her.

  Su Yingzhen shook her head, she knew that after Yang Shu was injured and got older, he didn't recover well, and if he wore less, he would definitely feel cold.

  Old Yang pretended to be very angry: "Come on, I told you to wear it, don't disobey me." His tone was so gentle, just like he was talking to his own daughter. Su Yingzhen's heart warmed up, and she quietly took the clothes.

  A group of people arrived at the surveillance room in the underground parking garage, and Shen Zhiyuan brought out those images. In the video, a scantily clad woman in red entered the elevator, and just as the doors were about to close, they opened again. The woman, who had been standing listlessly inside, suddenly looked excited when she saw the doors open, her eyes sparkling with interest. With a hint of shyness on her face, she gently tousled her hair, occasionally stealing glances at a certain place. Then, she became animated and excited, seemingly chatting enthusiastically with someone.

  Everyone was watching with great interest when the screen suddenly went black: "Damn, dropped chain at a critical moment." Dong Yiqi complained.

  "It's not a breakdown." The security guard at the nearby parking lot said mysteriously, "You'll know if you look down."

  Five people with big question marks on their heads continued to stare at the monitor, and in just one minute, the snowflakes disappeared. The lovely young woman on the screen had a smile on her face, a peach blossom in her eyes, and she slowly slid down against the elevator wall, sat down on the ground, without any pain, as if death was such a happy thing.

  The elevator slowly closed.

  "What a pity! The surveillance had blind spots and didn't capture that mysterious person coming in. Otherwise, we could have nailed the killer."

  "If it were that simple, they wouldn't need our criminal investigation team to show up." Shen Zhiyuan and Dong Yiqi butted heads again.

  "You're so sure it's human-made." Xue Pinhan's words were directed at everyone, but his gaze remained fixed on Su Yingzhen. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

  "Impossible." Old Yang mumbled: "Didn't Little Shen say that some medicine would have this effect too?"

  Xue Pinhan nodded, but looked at Su Yingzhen with a profound meaning.

  Su Yingzhen's two ears suddenly lost their hearing, and her two eyes stared fixedly at the screen. The crowd was greatly puzzled, and the screen froze on the last scene of the woman's death.

  Four people also followed to see, but nothing was found.

  "What did you find?" Xue Pinhan asked.

  Su Yingzhen didn't say a word, her index finger straight and pointing at the woman's head on the screen. Shen Zhiyuan quickly enlarged the image, and a white butterfly was stuck to the woman's hairline.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief, especially Old Yang, who didn't think much of it and explained: "This is a Liu Hai sticker, now all the little girls are popularizing wearing this kind of hair accessory, Little Su you can't not have seen this before?" Old Yang raised a daughter, so he was still quite familiar with these things.

  "Not." Su Ying's voice was weak and ethereal, like a murmur in a dream: "I just saw it on the corpse."

  "Didn't you say it was a Blood Butterfly?" Xue Pinhan asked, his two eyes staring at her with a piercing gaze.

  "But I'm sure it was the same butterfly," Su Yingzhen fell into deep thought: "Why did it turn red later, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye."

  "No way. A butterfly-shaped bangs sticker that big on the forehead, whether red or white, would be very eye-catching, it's impossible that all four of us didn't see it but you did." Dong Yi Qi carefully examined her face and said: "Zhen Zhen, I think you didn't sleep well last night, your dark circles are almost showing up. Sometimes when people don't rest well, they can have hallucinations."

  Is that so?

  "I don't think it's like that. There are two suspicious points that can't be explained. Firstly, even if Little Su had a vision of flowers later on, where did this white butterfly go? It's not possible that the person who reported the case took it away, right? Secondly, have you noticed or not, there is no shadow of another person in the elevator."

  As soon as his second doubt was expressed, the room fell silent, an unpleasant silence. Yes, if it were a person, it would be impossible to have no shadow.

  "Maybe the monitor didn't capture it." The old eyes held a glimmer of hope. The last paranormal case had almost cost him his life, and he couldn't afford to run into another one this time.

  "It's impossible. You see, there is only one blind spot, and if the murderer was hiding in that blind spot, his shadow would have been captured by the monitor, but there is nothing on the screen. And if it was poison, there would be a process of onset, it can't kill someone in just one minute, so..." Xue Pinhan stopped here, looking at Su Yingzhen.

  Su Yingzhen's face was pale, her eyes were distracted, staring straight ahead, it couldn't be told whether she was listening or not.

  "We can conduct an experiment to verify it." Xue Pinhan continued.

  The result of the experiment was just as Xue Pinhan had expected. If you want to hide your body from the monitor, the shadow will inevitably be captured. If you hide the shadow, the person cannot be hidden.

  Everyone's heart was chilled, and a question rose in their minds, but no one dared to speak out loud, as if saying it would make the nightmare come true.

  A group of people walked out of the underground parking lot with heavy footsteps. Unexpectedly, outside the parking lot was just as gloomy as inside.

  The weather has changed.

  The morning was still full of aurora in the sky, with bright sunshine. But now it's overcast with dark clouds, the heavy sky looks like it's going to fall at any moment, making people's hearts tremble.

  The distant sky, the wandering dark clouds were dyed with a bloody red color by the sun from inside to outside of the cloud layer, as if there was fresh blood seeping out and condensing into a color that made people feel inexplicably oppressed.

  The trees on both sides of the road swayed ceaselessly, the wind blowing stronger and stronger. The dark red color in the sky that made people afraid was like a pool of blood being diluted by water, slowly dispersing. The sky had been completely occupied by thick black clouds. However, it wasn't pitch-black between heaven and earth, but rather a dim yellowish hue, as if emitted from street lamps at midnight, making one's heart tremble with fear.

  A storm is approaching.

  As soon as the last passenger boarded the bus, big raindrops started pouring down, getting heavier and more intense by the second, and before long it turned into a torrential downpour.

  It was as if the devil had made a mistake, Su Yingzhen looked back and through the car window blurred by rainwater, she clearly saw that a figure stood in the rain, staring at her. It was... Bai Xue's grandfather. As the car drove further and further away, Bai Xue's grandfather gradually became more and more blurry, as if washed away by the rain, disappearing from Su Yingzhen's line of sight.

  But in her heart, the dark clouds were gathering thicker and thicker...

  Every midnight is the only time to have inspiration and write, but also need to type it out. The next day still needs to get up early, but the results are not ideal, a sigh! If I didn't prepare well the night before, I would have to rush around at 6 am the next day, it's really tiring. Don't want to say anymore.
