Volume 1: A Strange Attack Chapter 18: Screams at Night
Liang Zhen grabbed Miao Mingqi and stared at him fiercely.
"Where did these photos come from?"
Miao Mingqi did not dare to look directly at Liang Zhen, lowered his head and said: "This is the photo that the criminal police team brought yesterday. It is said to be a case they just received. The time of death is uncertain because the state of the body is too weird. It's just that
, exactly the same as the pattern of the magic circle at your home. Wu Hui came over yesterday not only to know the results of your appraisal, but also to learn something about this magic circle from you."
Liang Zhen let go of his hand and looked at the photo in his hand again, not looking away for a long time.
When Liang Zhen was at home, he just took a quick glance at the seven-pointed star magic circle and it was deeply imprinted in his mind. The feeling this magic circle gave him at that time flashed through his memory, as if he had used it himself.
After passing this magic circle, I can't remember the details.
After carefully comparing the magic circle in his mind with the photo in his hand, Liang Zhen's eyes widened in shock.
He really found a difference in the two magic arrays. The formations above were the same, but there were differences in the array inscriptions. He had also seen these incantations, which were exactly what Jia Ming used in the manor summoning ceremony.
Array text.
"You immediately go to Wu Hui and tell him that the manor in the southern suburbs of the city is the same manor where the two security guards were killed. There is also such a magic circle in the multi-functional hall on the first floor. The person who came forward to rent that manor is named Jia Ming.
It's a pseudonym. He invited a total of eleven people to check the connections between them. He also gave me the information of an old man named Yu who died in the hospital a few days ago. I want to know who he often hangs out with.
Contact. Give me your phone number again, I want to contact you." Liang Zhen ordered.
"Okay, Master."
Miao Mingqi took the order and left, while Liang Zhen fell into deep thought. He was sure that there must be a connection between the corpse, the magic circle, Jia Ming and his identity. Looking back on Jia Ming's eyes at that time, and
It wasn't that he saw through his impersonation to attend the party, but that he knew Liang Zhen with this identity.
Not long after, Miao Mingqi sent a mobile phone, and the others needed to wait for investigation.
After confirming that no one was outside the door, Liang Zhen called Zhu Fugui directly.
"Lao Zhu, why did you receive that invitation letter?"
"I'm not very sure, what's wrong?"
"Things may not be as simple as we thought before. I will send you some photos in a moment. You must think about the reason why you attended the party and who you have been in contact with before."
After saying that, Liang Zhen sent those photos to Zhu Fugui.
"You wait."
Zhu Fugui has received the photo and opened it to view.
"It's also a seven-pointed star magic circle. What's wrong? What's wrong with that corpse?"
"It has nothing to do with the corpse. The formations on the magic circle are the formations used by Jia Ming. They are not ordinary formations. You cannot know these formations by reading a few books about magic."
"You mean Jia Ming has other accomplices?"
"It's very possible that if we don't deal with Jia Ming's accomplices, you and I will still be unsafe. The most important thing is to find out why we were targeted by them."
"Where are you? I'm going to find you."
"I'm in a mental hospital. I went there to replace an old man here. Now I can't get out for the time being. You can only rely on yourself outside."
"I understand, please contact me if you have any questions."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Fugui immediately came to the back room, where there was an altar table. He lit three incense sticks, bowed to the altar table, and inserted them into the incense burner on the altar table. The incense burned slowly, and the smoke drifted upward.
Gradually the shadow of a big snake formed.
Liang Zhen didn't know the situation on Zhu Fugui's side. Looking back on how he met Old Man Yu, it was reasonable to say that it was luck. At that time, Old Man Yu's ward door was close to the door of another ward, so Liang Zhen also hesitated.
Suddenly, the time was tight and I couldn't afford to waste any time. I habitually grabbed a door with my right hand and rushed in. It happened to be the ward of Old Man Yu that was closest to my right hand.
Later, Liang Zhen also used luck to explain everything that happened next, including the old man Yu having a heart attack, stealing the invitation, etc.
But at that time, Liang Zhen had a feeling that someone was behind everything. Now if there is a mastermind behind the scenes, then the old man's ward is just a psychological suggestion, an instinctive reaction under strong pressure. With sufficient preparation and conditions,
Under the circumstances, it is completely possible.
It is said that Old Yu has been in the hospital for many years. The outside world has no idea that there is such an old man obsessed with demon research. Unless there are Jia Ming's accomplices in the hospital, there is no way to explain that such an isolated old man would receive such information.
That invitation to death.
Liang Zhen's thoughts couldn't help but diverge to a hypothesis that all humans would make. If that day, I did not choose to enter the old man Yu's room, but entered another ward, would things have developed differently?
As soon as this idea came to mind, Liang Zhen felt as if he had grasped something. The more complex the plan, once a certain link goes awry, it will easily lead to the entire plan being destroyed. Smart people will always be out of touch with a plan.
Make a backup plan to prevent things from going wrong and have sufficient means to deal with them.
The probability of choosing between the two wards is 50 to 50. Even if the possibility of choosing the old man's ward is infinitely magnified due to guidance and hints, there is still a small probability that Liang Zhen will choose in the opposite direction. If this happens, if he is
How to deal with the man behind the scenes?
Due to insufficient conditions, Liang Zhen couldn't think of any way, but one thing is certain. In the other ward, there will definitely be measures, or plans, to deal with accidents. In other words, no matter which ward Liang Zhen chooses to enter,
The direction of things will be under that person's control.
Thinking of this, Liang Zhen's face showed a little excitement, and he found another clue. You can check the two lines together. Once there is an intersection, then find the hidden gangster in the hospital. Just do it as soon as you think of it, and edit it immediately
A text message was sent.
Liang Zhen spent this day in excitement and anxiety. He became a little anxious, which attracted the nurse's attention.
When working in this kind of environment, everyone is extremely careful. You have no idea what is going on in the minds of these mentally ill patients. When their brains twitch, they start to hurt themselves and the people around them.
Looking at the nurse who was frowning and leaving, Liang Zhen knew that there was a flaw in his behavior, so he took a few deep breaths to calm down his emotions. The current excitement would not help the investigation of the matter, but would put himself in danger.
.I don’t know if the mastermind behind the scenes has noticed me or is observing me.
I walked around the house a few times anxiously, but I couldn't think of any good solutions. I didn't know much about the conditions of mental patients. I could only calm down and pass the time by reading the scriptures. There were some names of fallen angels in them.
, and most of them are just stories, without any content that is helpful to the current situation.
The whole afternoon passed like this. I vaguely heard the nurse starting to deliver the food, and immediately fell into a daze again. After the food was delivered, Liang Zhen started to grab it and eat it again.
Every time the nurse delivered the meal, she would observe the patient to see if there was anything abnormal about the patient. She saw Liang Zhen grabbing the meal with his hands. There were some stains on his hands and they looked dirty.
"Liang Zhen, wash your hands and use the tableware to eat." the nurse reminded.
Liang Zhen's eyes immediately lit up. He was worried that he didn't know how to reduce the nurse's suspicion of him, so he immediately had an excuse.
He let go of the dinner plate in his hand, rushed directly to the door, stretched out a hand from the window and tried his best to reach the caregiver.
"I'm not Liang Zhen, I'm Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan! I'm going to kill you!"
He didn't care that the spilled food splashed all over him, and even stepped on the food on the ground, showing his madness.
The nurse was startled and quickly stepped back, almost scratching her face by Liang Zhen. So she got very angry and took out the dinner plate on the cart and started hitting Liang Zhen's hand, trying to get him to retract his hand.
Liang Zhen endured the pain, letting the dinner plate hit his hands and arms, and persistently reached out to scratch outside.
Seeing that his behavior was ineffective, the nurse cursed him as a madman and left with the dining cart. The nurse must have a certain understanding of the patient he is managing, and know that he can't see him, so he will be quiet after a while.
After the nurse left his field of vision, Liang Zhen tried to scream a few more times, grabbed a few handfuls of air, and after making sure that he would no longer talk to him, he became quiet. He was also afraid of going too far and going too far, so he went back and sat on the bed again.
daze.
The sticky feeling on his feet and the greasy feeling on his hands made Liang Zhen feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to clean it, so he could only wait and wait.
After a while, the nurse came back and saw through the window that he was in a daze, so he dared to open the door and go in to clean up. He was also careful during the cleaning process, fearing that Liang Zhen would suddenly go crazy. He kept muttering in his heart, knowing that he could not mention Liang Zhen.
This name, why do you still want to stimulate him and find things for yourself to do when you have nothing to do?
After the floor was cleaned up, the nurse brought a clean wet towel and began to clean the stains on Liang Zhen's body. He didn't notice that his eyes were shaking when he was cleaning the stains on Liang Zhen's hands and feet, as well as the food spilled on his body.
This nurse was a bit irritable, but he was not a bad person. He was responsible for his work and patient with the patients. It was this nurse who wiped off the oil stains on his hands last time. Regarding the deception to him, Liang Zhen was promoted.
I felt a little sorry.
Liang Zhen didn't receive any news until midnight. In the end, he felt really sleepy after waiting, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
"Ah! Ah! Devil, stay away from me!"
A scream pierced the silent night sky, and Liang Zhen was awakened and sat up suddenly.
In the past two days, Liang Zhen went to bed after turning off the lights. He also heard some noises in his sleep. His consciousness was a little blurry and he didn't pay attention to it. Moreover, he needed to act. Except for the word "Liang Zhen", he needed to appear indifferent to the outside world. Today was because his brain was extremely excited.
Even when sleeping, he was very light and would be awakened by the slightest movement.
I heard footsteps and voices coming from outside the door.
"It will never end. I've been going crazy lately at night."
"Okay, hurry up and get there! Don't let anything happen again. The shift will be changed in a few days, so we don't have to worry about it."
Sitting on the bed, Liang Zhen noticed something strange.
