Boss Li said before that this collection was originally part of the underground garage upstairs, so the entire collection was very large. For this reason, Wang Daquan asked Boss Li for his manpower and asked Boss Li for more.
I bought some walkie-talkies and assigned one to me.
Considering that the intruder could twist off a person's head, Wang Daquan suspected that the intruder might have kung fu skills. He had seen that Boss Li's men seemed to be carrying guns, so he wanted to get a few for us, but Li
The boss shook his head desperately this time, saying that all the guns in the library had been given to his men, and not a single bit was left.
Hong Kong is similar to mainland China. Except for the police, individuals are strictly prohibited from holding guns. The guns that Boss Li assigned to his subordinates were obtained secretly for the safety of the collection. There are no extra guns at all.
In desperation, Wang Daquan could only ask us to pay attention to our own safety and use the walkie-talkie to contact other people immediately if we found anything.
As for Manager Lei and Boss Li, Wang Daquan originally wanted them to leave the collection hall first. After all, no one knew whether the thief had left now. If not, Manager Lei and Boss Li might be in danger.
However, Manager Lei and Boss Li sternly refused and insisted on staying by the Buddha statue. It seemed that the thief had tried to steal the Buddha statue twice in succession, which had frightened them.
Seeing that he couldn't convince them, Wang Daquan could only leave two of Boss Li's bodyguards to protect the two of them here. He also asked someone to take a few pieces of canvas to cover the two corpses and the heads on the ground.
, so that Manager Lei and Boss Li will not tremble when they see it.
As for the others, after they were ready, they immediately started taking action.
Jiang Kai and I were assigned to a group. The two of us walked back and forth between the area and the room we were responsible for several times, carefully looking at every corner, not to mention the passages through which intruders could sneak in.
There are no small holes for mice to get in and out.
I took a deep breath and said to Jiang Kai: "Old Jiang, is what Captain Wang said reliable? I can't even find a mouse hole. Is there really a thief breaking in?"
Jiang Kai stopped, looked at me and said, "What? Do you think Captain Wang was wrong? Then tell me, if a thief hadn't come in, how did the two cleaners die?"
"I...I..." I hesitated for a while, gritted my teeth, and lowered myself to him: "I think it might be really haunted?"
Jiang Kai looked at me in surprise: "Sijiu, you can't tell, but after just a few days in Hong Kong, you have become tainted with capitalist feudal superstitions?"
I said angrily: "What feudal superstition? I'm serious. Captain Wang said that the Buddha statue was moved by thieves who broke in. Then you can analyze it for me, why twice in a row, those thieves were just
The Buddha statue was moved but the door to the storage room was not even moved out? Everyone was killed, but the Buddha statue was abandoned halfway through the move. How to explain this?"
"This..." Jiang Kai was stunned by what I said all of a sudden. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a word.
I added: "There are also the ways of death of those four people. Captain Wang said that the murderer might be able to do kung fu. Then you can analyze it for me. Is there any kung fu in the world that can twist people's heads off like that? That's what kung fu can do.
Is that so? It’s not a Kung Fu movie. How can you have such exaggerated abilities?”
Jiang Kai scratched his head for a while: "What you said makes sense, but Captain Wang's explanation is more reliable than the haunting you said, right? I would rather believe that a thief broke in than some ghost or god."
Looking at Jiang Kai's expression, I shook my head in my heart. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Even if I convince him now, it won't be of any help to the current situation.
Thinking of this, I walked outside, ready to change places to continue checking, but at this moment, the intercom in Jiang Kai's hand suddenly rang.
"Team King, Team King! We have a situation here! It is suspected that an intrusion channel has been discovered!"
Huh? I was stunned. Did I really find a passage for outsiders to sneak in? Could it be that what Captain Wang said was true? This incident was really not caused by ghosts and gods, but was just caused by thieves who broke into the collection hall.
?
With questions in our hearts, Jiang Kai and I hurried over.
The place where the suspicious passage was discovered was in a female toilet in the central area of the collection hall.
When we arrived, the small restroom was already crowded with people, and the teams that had previously dispersed to search came over one after another.
I was blocked at the door of the toilet and couldn't get in. I could only stand on tiptoes and take a look inside.
I saw that in the innermost stall of the toilet, Wang Daquan was stepping on the toilet seat and half of his body was buried in the ceiling.
So that's it... Seeing this, I already had some guesses in my mind.
In the ceiling of the toilet, there are ventilation ducts used to remove odors. This was originally an underground garage. The ventilation ducts are larger than those in ordinary high-rise buildings. There should be no problem for an adult to pass through them.
While I was thinking, Wang Daquan had already washed his hands and walked out of the toilet.
He glanced at the people watching at the door, and then said: "There are signs that the ventilation duct in the toilet has been pried, and the signs are very clear. It is most likely caused when I came in today. In addition, inside the passage,
I also found spider webs that someone had knocked off while moving. Putting these things together, it became clear that an outsider had indeed come in today in this collection! Those two cleaners were probably the ones who did it!
"
Everyone immediately started talking.
Wang Daquan clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The thief who broke in should not have left yet. He is probably hiding somewhere in the collection hall. Let's continue searching and he should be able to find him soon.
he!"
"But, we have looked everywhere before, and there is no one else here except us." A colleague from the security company raised his hand.
I immediately stepped in and said to Wang Daquan: "Team Wang, there are several places in the collection that no one has seen yet."
"Where?" As soon as Wang Daquan spoke, he thought of the place I was referring to. In order to find the entrance and exit, everyone had actually searched most of the entire collection, but there were several places that no one had ever visited.
Because those places are the darkrooms in this collection.
Boss Li did not tell us where the entrances and exits of those darkrooms were, and several of his subordinates were strictly prohibited from revealing them, so no one has yet checked the conditions inside.
"That's it..." Wang Daquan nodded and said, "Then you go to other places to check first. I'll discuss it with Boss Li and see if we can open the darkroom first for us to check."
Everyone nodded, and when they were about to disperse, the lights above their heads suddenly dimmed, and then kept flashing.
In the flickering light, I suddenly heard one of Boss Li's men next to me saying to his companion: "Why did it flash again? Has the circuit here not been repaired yet? It had already flashed when the person died just now."
Hearing this sentence, I felt cold all over for no reason.
Suddenly, there was a scream in my ears.
"ghost!"
My hair stood on end at that moment. This ghostly sound came not only from around me, but I also heard many similar screams coming from other people's positions.
In addition to me, everyone else was also shocked. Several of Boss Li's men even pulled out their guns out of reflex, pointed them in the direction of the sound, and almost shot them.
At this moment, Wang Daquan's scolding sounded from the crowd.
"Don't be surprised! Look at your walkie-talkies!"
Walkie-talkie!? I reacted and looked at Jiang Kai's hand next to me.
Only then did I realize that the signal light on Jiang Kai's walkie-talkie was flashing. It turned out that the sound just now was coming from his walkie-talkie. And the other ghostly screams were naturally coming from other people's walkie-talkies.
Wang Daquan raised the walkie-talkie in his hand, pressed the call button, and shouted to the other end: "Who was making the ghost noise just now? What happened?"
This time, all of us heard clearly that the voice coming from the intercom turned out to be Manager Lei’s! However, what he said made everyone shudder.
"Ghost! There is a ghost! Lao Wang! Come and save me! Save me!"
Wang Daquan shouted into the intercom: "Manager Lei! I am Wang Daquan, what happened there? Please tell me clearly!"
"Ghost! The ghost is out! Boss Li has been killed by the ghost! It is chasing me now! Hurry...ahhhhh!"
The voice on the intercom stopped mid-sentence with a scream.
Wang Daquan was also frightened by Manager Lei's last scream and was stunned for a while.
Except for him, everyone around him was silent.
The scene was so quiet at that time that I could hear my heart pounding. After more than half a minute, Wang Daquan said: "Don't panic! There are no ghosts in this world. They are probably being raped."
The intruder attacked. Don’t just stand there, hurry up and save people!”
After saying that, the first one rushed out, and the rest of us followed soon after. On the way, Boss Li's men gave each of us a stick, and they took out their own guns.
One of the guys actually had two guns on him, and Wang Daquan grabbed one directly.
From the moment we rushed over, I felt something was wrong. The incandescent lights above my head were still flashing.
I just had an unspoken thought in my mind, that is, if this incident was not caused by humans but by ghosts, could the light above my head be a sign of the appearance of ghosts?
I think so because I heard the discussion just now by Boss Li's men. When the two cleaners died, the lights in the collection began to malfunction.
But this time when the lights flickered on and off, something happened again to Boss Li and the others!
One night, every time the lights flickered on and off, someone died. This can't be a coincidence, right?
At this time, the large army in front had slowed down, and there were only a few steps left to reach the storage room. Wang Daquan was afraid of an accident, so he asked everyone to walk slowly past the wall.
I quickly walked a few steps behind Wang Daquan and spoke my thoughts into his ear.
"Lin Sijiu, why are you so crazy! It's obvious that this thing was done by humans. How could there be in this world..." Wang Daquan just finished speaking, and then he closed his mouth, because at this time, we have already arrived
Arrive at the door of the storage room.
Seeing that the vault door of the storage room was wide open, Wang Daquan checked the pistol in his hand. After confirming that the bullets were loaded, he ducked and rushed in with others. Jiang Kai and I had no guns and could only follow behind.
cover.
As soon as we rushed into the storage room, we stopped at the door. Everyone was horrified to see the bodies of Boss Li and Manager Lei. Their heads were lying quietly on the floor, and the ground around them was covered with blood.
Suddenly, everyone shuddered, and the fear in my heart reached its peak...
