Bao Zhan thought of a famous short story called "The Monkey's Paw", which is known as a model of British thrillers.
The story is bizarre and strange. It tells the story of an Indian monk who enchanted a monkey's paw. The monkey's paw can grant three wishes. Later, the dried monkey's paw fell into the hands of Mr. White. Mr. White made the first wish with hesitation.
, hoping to get two hundred pounds. The next day, the wish came true. Mr. White's son was hanged by a working machine, and the pension was exactly two hundred pounds. The second wish was the crazy idea that the mother had when she missed her son.
Awakening the dead who had been buried in the cemetery. That night, there was a knock on the door... In order to prevent his wife from this irrational behavior, White made a remedy the moment he opened the door. He made a last wish to the monkey's paw:
I hope to send the dead who crawled out of the grave back to their graves.
Until the end of the story, it is not revealed what terrible thing knocked on the door, but it is chilling, and the more imaginative people are, the more frightened they will be.
The special case team took photos and evidence collection. After dawn, everyone discovered that the corpse fluid on the door was green.
There is a small green handprint on the door.
What knocked on the door? It was obvious that a rotting corpse couldn't knock on the door.
The special case team concluded that someone was causing a ghost. Ghosts are not scary, but people are scary. However, even if a person knocks on the door with a rotten little hand, the time from hearing the knock to opening the door is very short.
It was impossible for Long not to see that person. The person left too quickly. He disappeared without a trace almost as soon as the door was opened.
What everyone heard was a knock on the door, but the fingerprints on the door were made by banging the door.
Bao Zhan checked the door. The door knocker had fallen off, revealing a rusty nail. The small handprint was just on the nail.
Hualong said: This is a child, a child's palm print.
Su Mei said: It’s strange, whether it’s knocking or knocking on the door, why can’t I find this hand?
Assistant Tang said: It's a bit evil, and the villagers here are a bit superstitious.
Bao Zhan said: Whether it is a person or a ghost, the motive of knocking on the door is probably to scare us.
Professor Liang said: We will not be scared away.
The handprints on the door came from a rotten child's corpse. The special case team judged from the corpse fluid only that the corpse had been dead for about five days. Corpse spots are patterns on the corpse and come in different colors. The hanged person had purple stains on his body.
Black; the body of a person who froze to death will appear blood red. When forensic doctors examine a corpse, they often judge the death and location of the body based on the body spots. Corpse spots are an early phenomenon on corpses that continue until the body becomes decomposed.
As the postmortem changes progress, the corpse spots gradually turn into light green and green, blending in with the color of the decaying corpse.
Green corpse liquid comes from putrid green corpse spots. The hydrogen sulfide in the putrefactive gas combines with hemoglobin to form green sulfated hemoglobin, which appears as dirty green patches on the skin, called putrid green spots. The putrid green spots are initially light green, and later
Gradually turns into dark green. For corpses with medium to high levels of decay, the surface of the corpse will appear green.
The home of the boy in red is in a small mountain village called Gaoshikan, not far from the Forest Police Station. The mountain village is full of dilapidated houses that look crumbling, with overgrown weeds in the corners and mosquitoes flying around. In the gloomy weather,
These old houses are all dark yellow. The mountain roads are gravel roads and rugged. When the rainy season comes, the roads will turn into rivers.
The special case team arrived at the village at noon.
However, there was no one at home, and the parents of the boy in red were not there. Many villagers came out to watch. They stood on a nearby slope and looked at the four members of the special case team, discussing something in low voices. Assistant Tang contacted the deceased Liu Haibo's family by phone.
Parents, they have been persuading for a long time. The villagers heard Assistant Tang saying on the phone: The superiors are here and they will find out. Please cooperate and come back quickly...
The four members of the special case team conducted a simple survey in the periphery. Su Mei took pictures, and Professor Liang asked to take pictures of the villagers who were watching. Su Mei raised the camera towards the villagers, and the villagers turned their heads to avoid it.
The boy in red's home is at the west end of the village. There is a slope next to the back door, with grass growing on it. There is no courtyard wall. The door is closed. There is an old dead tree in front of the door. The tree has a strange shape and looks old. Under the tree there is
There was a stone mill, and withered yellow leaves fell all over the ground. The house was made of stone and mud, and there were many holes deliberately left on the wall, which were used as windows to collect light.
Thirteen-year-old boy Liu Haibo was hanged in this old house. He was wearing a swimsuit and a bright red skirt when he died.
Towards evening, the parents of the deceased Liu Haibo came in a hurry. They told Assistant Tang their concerns. Today is the day of returning to evil spirits, which is the forty-ninth day after the death of the boy in red. There is a Mr. Yin and Yang who left behind
The next talisman was posted in the house where the child was hanged. Mr. Yin Yang said that on the day of the evil, no one should be in the house and everyone should stay away - this was the reason why the parents did not want to come.
Liu Zhijun said: Can't it be tomorrow? Tonight, my baby's ghost will come back.
Professor Liang said: Then we came at the right time.
Huisha is also called Huihun. Superstitious people believe that after a person dies, the ghost will return home to visit his family. If a relative dies at home, the soul of the deceased will appear in the place he was familiar with during his lifetime not long after the death. Rural Superstition
It is said that the souls of deceased relatives will come in from the east side of the house, patrol around the house and then leave. Legend has it that when returning to the house, you can hear a rustling sound, which is the footsteps of the soul. Family members need to avoid it. If there is a collision, the ghost will linger.
If it refuses to leave, it cannot be reincarnated.
Among the onlookers, an old woman said to the mother of the boy in red: Why did your baby come back on the forty-ninth day?
Another villager said: Yes, others have seven days, and their souls return to their souls on the seventh day after death, but your child has seven days.
The boy's mother said: Mr. Yin Yang deduced that my baby died unexpectedly and will come back in seven or seven forty-nine days.
The boy's father said: Just today.
The old woman was a neighbor of the deceased boy. She once claimed to the police that she saw a strange man wearing a hat appearing in the village before the incident. The boy's mother also dreamed about this man. Bao Zhan stepped forward and took notes, and Su Mei took photos.
At this time, the old woman started to tremble with fear, turned around and waved her hands and said: Don't take pictures, don't take pictures of me.
It was getting dark, and the villagers gradually dispersed. Every household closed their doors tightly. No one wanted to see the hanged boy on the day of the return of evil spirits.
Liu Haibo's parents were worried and anxiously told the special case team: Let's come back tomorrow. We have to avoid my baby today.
The four members of the special case team had no intention of leaving. They conducted a detailed investigation in the old house where the boy hanged himself.
Zhan measured the height of the beams from the ground, Hualong checked the roof, Su Mei took photos of everything for evidence, Professor Liang and Assistant Tang sat quietly in the room, and there was a yellow picture posted by a Taoist priest on the wall.
The talisman flutters in the wind.
Assistant Tang stepped forward and took off the talisman, keeping it as physical evidence.
Liu Haibo's parents were horrified when they saw it. His father said, "Oh, it's broken. This talisman cannot be uncovered."
My mother said loudly: How can you do this? This is a talisman to drive away ghosts.
Liu Haibo's parents left angrily, and they stood in the courtyard and quarreled loudly, complaining to each other.
It was already dark outside, and the night in the mountain village seemed eerie and quiet. The special case team planned to leave after completing the investigation work. Su Mei took a photo in front of a mirror in the old house. After the flash, Su Mei suddenly called out, and everyone asked her
What's going on? Su Mei said in horror that she saw a pair of feet walking past in the mirror, a pair of children's feet.
Professor Liang said: Xiaomei, don’t make a fuss, there are no children here? Remember, we are the police.
Hua Long said: People have died in this old house, which must have left a psychological shadow on you. You must be dazzled.
Su Mei said: I saw it. It was very clear that it was either a foot or the shadow of a foot.
Assistant Tang said: Maybe I shouldn’t have taken off that talisman.
Bao Zhan said: Don't speak. Listen, what is the sound?
Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened. The old house was eerily quiet. A gust of cold wind blew in from the hole in the wall. The back door opened slowly, making a squeaking sound.
The hairs on the hair stood on end, goosebumps appeared on Su Mei's eyebrows, and everyone remained motionless with their eyes wide open. Bao Zhan felt as if someone was walking behind him, giving him a chilling feeling on his spine. Hualong took out the
The gun came, and when they were about to check, everyone suddenly heard the sound of turning on the light switch, and there were several "click, click, click" sounds. However, the light bulbs in the old house were always on.
A lamp was leaning against the wall, emitting a dim light. The old house looked extremely mysterious. The filament flashed a few times and then went out.
Everyone left the dark old house. The parents of the boy in red were sitting on the stone mill and had stopped arguing. Hua Long came up and asked if the back door was closed. The boy's father asked in panic if they had encountered anything in the house. Professor Liang
He said calmly: The light bulb in the house went out, maybe there was something wrong with the aging wires.
At this time, a neighbor ran over and said breathlessly: Your child's grave has been dug up.
The boy's father said angrily: Which turtle son dug it?
The neighbor was shocked and said: I don't know, my pig was lost. I went to the wild to look for the pig. I took a flashlight and looked around, and I saw that your child's grave was opened, and the soil was divided into two sides.
The pile. When I got closer, I saw that it was empty. There were traces of crawling on the mound. Could it be that your child crawled out of the grave?
It started to rain. When the boy's mother heard about this, she immediately suffered from angina pectoris, which caused huge beads of sweat on her forehead. She sat on the stone mill, picked up the kettle she had brought with her, raised her neck and swallowed a few drops.
tablets. When she put the kettle on the stone mill, she looked down and saw a small hand appearing on her belly, as if a child was hugging her from behind.
In the night, there was still a little bit of carrion left on the hand, and the white bones were exposed.
