Yang Jian thought he could name this thing a ghost cabinet.
Its characteristics are unknown, its killing method is unknown, and even its degree of harm is unclear, because after some testing and research, he found that the ghost in the cupboard does not seem to come out of the cupboard.
Yes.
This is an autistic ghost. He stays on the first floor of the cupboard. Even if he gets close to him, he doesn't attack him.
It feels like humans and animals are harmless.
"But regardless of what kind of existence the ghost in this cupboard is, this cupboard must have its purpose when placed here. Just like the ghost mirror, the ghost mirror can resurrect people, although the cost is to release the ghost in the mirror.
It's a ghost, but it can also be regarded as a very powerful life-saving weapon. The owner of this old house probably put it here in the hope that future generations would make good use of it."
Yang Jian pondered: "Since this ghost cupboard is more valuable than the ghost mirror, then where does this value lie? If I can figure it out, I may have unexpected gains."
He guessed that this was definitely a very dangerous ability that also contained great value.
The reason why the original owner didn't leave behind the instructions is probably because he didn't want future generations to easily master the closet, lest his mentality become uncontrollable and lead to a catastrophic disaster, so he intended for people to explore it.
The process of exploration is a kind of test.
If you pass, you will understand this thing and be able to control it carefully. If you fail, you may be killed by this thing.
This was the reason why Zhang Wei was trapped in the ghost mirror curse.
It's just that Yang Jian had Zhang Wei's luck to help him, so he mastered the characteristics of the ghost mirror very well. But now, he followed the guidance of the human skin paper to the second room and came into contact with this thing for the first time, so he can
The information I know is very limited.
"If Wang Xiaoming were here, how would he explore such a weird cabinet full of unknowns?" Yang Jian couldn't help but think of Professor Wang.
There is a natural IQ gap between me and him, and I have to admit this.
After all, he is a world-famous top talent, and in some aspects he is far superior to ordinary people.
After thinking for a while, Yang Jian soon smiled and shook his head: "Relying too much on others is always a bad thing. You can only rely on your own judgment in the face of supernatural events. If you blindly ask for help from others, one day you will be in trouble.
It's a desperate situation and it's over, not to mention that I killed Wang Xiaoming's biological brother, so this thorn is always a hidden danger here."
Because of that grudge, he and Wang Xiaoming were destined not to get together.
Seeing that the ghost closet had been quiet without any abnormalities, Yang Jian gradually felt relieved.
This place has existed for hundreds of years. If nothing happened to the ghost closet before, it will certainly not happen now. As long as you don't mess around, everything should be able to maintain the way it was before.
While there was still time, he decided to check the secret room again, maybe he could find some useful clues.
There are actually two things in the too simple secret room, the ghost cupboard and the small wooden table that I just smashed to pieces.
There is nothing strange about the wooden table, it is a normal thing, so no matter how you look at it, Yang Jian's eyes have to focus on the old cupboard in front of him.
The ghost eyes cannot see through the situation inside. There is a ghost hiding in the darkness behind the wooden lattice door on the upper floor. The two cupboard doors on the lower floor are not opened for fear of releasing something terrible, and also worried that something will be touched.
The existence of terror.
"Wait, that's it?"
Yang Jian suddenly noticed an inconspicuous place.
There seems to be something on the top of the cupboard.
Out of caution, he did not fetch it directly, but used the ghost to fetch it directly from above.
Three very ordinary old objects: a bottle of ink that has dried up long ago, an exquisite fountain pen from the Republic of China period, and a small notepad.
These items represent that the original owner had used them before, but not very often.
Because you can see the number of sheets that Yang Jian tore out from the notepad, this time it was only five times.
Of course, this judgment is not accurate. Maybe this is not the first notebook.
"The notepad has hand marks left by the original owner when he wrote. Maybe we can find some useful clues through this." Yang Jian carefully discovered that the first page of the old notepad had marks left by the pen when writing.
trace.
Although they were separated by a long time, they were well preserved in such a closed environment and can still be distinguished to this day.
"This kind of traces must be analyzed by professionals, and usually such talents are in the police station." Yang Jian carefully put away the blank notebook and prepared to go to the police station.
As for this ghost closet, I can only continue to leave it here without asking for the time being.
For strange objects that cannot be controlled, immobility is the best way to deal with them, because if this thing was dangerous, something would have happened a long time ago, and it would not wait until today.
With this idea in mind, Yang Jian quickly walked out of the secret room.
And when he returned to the villa, he suddenly saw a few more armed police standing guard outside the villa, and several police cars parked nearby. It seemed that there were guests at home, and they were official people.
After thinking about it for a while, this should be due to some measures taken by those reporters who appeared in the city before.
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Jian saw several public officials sitting upright on the sofa in the hall. They were well-disciplined and patiently sitting here, seemingly waiting for his arrival.
"Are you..." Yang Jian asked.
"Hello, Detective Yang, I am the city's investigation team leader, Zhang Hua. I have something to report to you about the case this morning." The investigation team leader who called himself Zhang Hua saluted and said.
"Do you have any documents?"
Yang Jian said, "Nothing else, it's just that it's been a bit chaotic recently. A lot of irrelevant people have come into Dachang City. I'm a little resistant to unfamiliar faces. If Captain Liu had come, I wouldn't have asked so many questions."
"This is my ID." Zhang Hua didn't get angry and immediately handed over the ID.
Yang Jian confirmed that there was no problem.
"As for Captain Liu... I'm sorry. It was confirmed three days ago that Captain Liu has disappeared. He can no longer follow up the case with Detective Yang. If nothing happens in the future, I will be responsible for handling the case related to Detective Yang."
." Zhang Hua said again.
"Is he missing?" Yang Jian sighed: "What a pity. He is a responsible and good man."
There are too many missing people in Dachang City, and many of them cannot be confirmed. However, it is imaginable what the outcome will be for the people who disappeared in the supernatural incident.
"Please do it first, Captain Zhang, tell me what happened with the case during the day? My residence was actually infiltrated. It seems that some people are restless and want to cause trouble in Dachang City," Yang Jian said.
Zhang Hua said truthfully: "The foreign forces that have recently infiltrated into Dachang City are not just the team of reporters during the day. It's just that their intelligence is relatively accurate and they have found out the residence of Detective Yang. We have arrested at least six similar cases in the city.
In the incident, more than 20 batches of people with incomplete documents were deported by force."
"As for the foreigner named Terry, it has been confirmed that he is a foreign mercenary who has participated in many overseas battles. After retiring, he worked for many foreign security companies. Of course, this information is not important. What is important is
There is indeed such a company in Dachang City that has hired a large number of foreign personnel as the company's security personnel."
After Zhang Hua finished speaking, he motioned to the colleague next to him to take out a briefcase.
After opening it, he took out a picture: "This is Shangtong Building in Dachang City. It is currently the office location of Shangtong Technology Co., Ltd., and the background of Shangtong Technology comes from a well-known foreign company. It was used as an investment attraction a year ago.
Attracting investment to Dachang City, its main business is developing network software."
"But according to our investigation, we learned that this Shangtong Technology has been in a trial operation state, and the company's funds have been at a loss through bank accounts. I have reason to believe that this Shangtong Building is a leather company."
"Coincidentally, according to the surveillance data of my investigator Shangtong Technology from the earliest period, several suspects were found. Through the face recognition system, it can be determined that they are the group of people who carried out armed attacks in Guanjiang Community last time.
.”
Zhang Hua took out a few more photos and actually captured the people who attacked Yang Jian last time entering and leaving the company.
Yang Jian looked at the information and frowned: "We have already checked this one. I don't know what Captain Zhang is waiting for. Can't we just close down this company? We should arrest it."
Zhang Hua smiled bitterly and said, "It would be nice if things were that simple. This company's work is impeccable. The suspects in the photos are not employees of the company. Although there are records of entering and leaving the company, we cannot seize others because of this. After all, we
It’s about the law.”
"Among those arrested during the day, the female reporter Susan revealed that she was sponsored by Shangtong Technology to participate in this interview. The others did not know about it. The ones in question were the three mercenaries who got in, but that
The three mercenaries have nothing to do with the company, at least on the surface."
Yang Jiandao: "What Captain Zhang means is that this company is obviously causing trouble, but it just looks like you have no evidence and there's nothing you can do against me?"
"At present, it seems like this." Zhang Hua said.
Yang Jian thought for a moment: "If there is no evidence to find, I don't believe that such a big company has no problems at all."
"That's true, but it requires a search warrant, which is difficult to approve, especially without some conclusive evidence. It is unlikely that the higher-ups will arbitrarily investigate a large company that has no problems." Zhang Hua said: "After all,
I’m afraid that it will have a bad impact, and if there are any consequences, I can’t afford it.”
"Are you still afraid of the impact of the current situation in Dachang City? You can't let a foreign force touch this place. If you don't solve it this time, problems will arise sooner or later. I don't have time to waste time fighting with these people, Captain Zhang.
After you go back, immediately apply for a search warrant and report it in my name. My face should still be of some use now," Yang Jian said.
"Of course there is no problem if Detective Yang comes forward." Captain Zhang smiled.
"Okay, this matter will be like this for now. Let me know when Captain Zhang is ready. I'll go with you. I also want to ask Captain Zhang for a favor." Yang Jian took out the old one.
notebook.
"Captain Zhang is an old investigation captain and has rich experience. Can you sort out the handwriting on it?"
After Zhang Hua took it carefully, he could indeed see the remaining writing on it through the reflection, but the strokes were light and dark, and some were superimposed on top of each other, but it was not clear what was written, so it needed professional means to repair it.
"Originally, there is an old man in the city who is good at doing this, but as Detective Yang, you also know that there is a situation in Dachang City after all, and the conditions do not allow it. If Detective Yang is not in a hurry, I can ask my colleagues from nearby cities to come over and help.
Yes, but it takes a while.
Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how long it will take to get back and forth. Captain Zhang, please contact me for me. I'll go there myself."
He didn't want to delay it too long, because it was related to the secret of the ghost closet, and the existence of the ghost closet was implicated in Zhao Lei's position.
