Zhao Long recalled that compared with this photo, the photo Dong Xie found had much lower pixels, and it was in a relatively dark corridor. Moreover, the evil spirit standing against the iron door had a pale face and facial features.
It's completely distorted, and you can't tell whether there are wrinkles at all, and it's naturally difficult to tell your age. In fact, judging from the style of the clothes, the color is very old and relatively worn, which is indeed not in line with the aesthetics of young people. What's more, the landlord also said before
, most of the people living in this place are empty-nesters living alone.
In fact, this is not surprising. This area is extremely remote. It is a bit flattering to say that it is an urban-rural fringe. There is no subway or station. It is difficult to find even a grocery store. The housing types are also quite old. No one would come here to buy or rent a house.
There are a few, and young people who work in the city will probably choose to rent a house in the city. It is more than 2 hours' drive from the city of S. They had left early because they were afraid that the road conditions were bad and they would not be able to make it in time.
, I made sure to arrive at ten o'clock last night.
It can be inferred from this that... the old man holding the black cat is most likely an empty nester living alone.
Zhao Long brought the photo much closer. At this time, he was really glad that the pixels of the photo were high enough. It was probably taken by the smart camera or mobile phone brought by the landlord's son. But because of the distance, he could only tell that the old man was male.
, not only the clothes, but also the pants and shoes seemed to have patches. And not far away in the background was Building 3.
Ge Qi saw Zhao Long picking up a photo frame and examining it carefully with a candle. Just now he was cursing Zhao Long to die, but now he looked surprised. Could it be that Zhao Long had found a way out?
Great! Only an hour had passed since the Scarlet Mission started, and he might still have time to find a way out! So he immediately changed his mind and must guard the door!
"Zhao Long, what is that photo? Show it to me too!"
Ge Qi wanted to go in and take a look now, but he was also afraid that the door behind him would automatically close as soon as he entered. Once this happened in the Blood Letter Record in the past, no matter what method was used, the door could no longer be broken open.
"I'll show it to you later. Now, just be quiet!"
Although the photo was taken very close, the old man's face was still not clearly visible. In addition to the distance factor, another reason was that the old man's body was blocked from a large amount of sunlight by the shadow of the tree behind him.
The old man's body and shadow have a feeling of being integrated into one.
"If this is an evil spirit..."
Zhao Long continued to look at several other photos. None of the other photos were with this community as the background, but Zhao Long still checked very carefully, maybe he would miss some important clues.
But unfortunately, no matter how much he looked at other photos, he couldn't find any new clues.
Zhao Long thought for a moment, then took out the key photo from the frame and checked whether there was a date of shooting on the photo. But unfortunately, there was not.
"Look again to see if there are any more clues."
He continued to open the drawer below and began to check. Most of the drawers contained some miscellaneous items, as well as some antihypertensive drugs, which were probably prepared by the landlord himself.
"Um?"
When he opened the last drawer, Zhao Long suddenly saw a calendar. The strange thing was that it was the end of 2019, but this was a calendar from 2009! And the calendar from that long ago was actually still preserved.
Very new.
"This is?"
There are many dates on the calendar, all marked in red circles and annotated.
"Hospital review day...my wife's birthday...the eldest son's birthday...the younger son's birthday...the day when the eldest son comes...the younger son comes..."
And then, surprisingly, it was 2010, 2011... The landlord actually kept the calendars from 2009 to the present. Each calendar recorded the days when his two sons came to visit the house. And the two sons only visited the house once a year.
They came once, and it was during the Chinese New Year. However, even so, neither of them came to visit their parents for two or three years. They even came again after three years, on the day the landlady passed away.
"In that photo, they are obviously wearing summer clothes, and it is unlikely that they will wear short-sleeved summer clothes during the Chinese New Year, especially when both old people are not in good health. They cannot wear such thin clothes in January and February." Zhao Long began.
Analysis: "Except for Chinese New Year, there is only one day when both sons come... The photo should have been taken on that day."
The photo was taken three years before the landlady passed away, that is, six years ago in 2013.
Zhao Long searched other places and after confirming that there were no more clues, he walked to the door of the room and said to Ge Qi: "Very good, I thought you would escape."
"Photos, show me..."
"Let's watch it together."
Walking to the door of the room, Zhao Long showed the photo to Dong Xie and Dong Ning: "Look at the photo and compare it with the photo you found before."
Zhao Long directly pointed his finger at the old man holding the black cat under the tree. Dong Xie and Dong Ning immediately looked at him intently.
"Clothes..." Dong Ning discovered the problem immediately, and Dong Xie immediately took out the photos for comparison.
In the photo, the terrifying figure of the evil spirit is still creepy. When comparing the clothes, it turns out that they are exactly the same, even the pants are exactly the same, and they are definitely not the same style of clothes, because even the locations of the patches are exactly the same.
"Then there are these calendars. From the calendars, I can roughly deduce the date the photo was taken, which was three years before the landlady died of a heart attack."
Dong Xie took the calendar and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he thought of something.
"You mean...the photo was taken in 2013, right?"
"yes……"
When Dong Ning heard this, she suddenly thought of something.
Later, Dong Xie and Dong Ning almost said in unison: "2009!"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Long didn't understand what was going on for a while.
"The photo we found before was taken on December 30, 2009! That is ten years ago!" Dong Xie pointed to the photo of the evil spirit in his hand and said, "If the photo you found was taken in 2013
Yes, then...the old man who appears in this photo is already an evil spirit!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically!
"Are there any other photos?" Dong Ning asked Zhao Long: "Just this photo?"
"Well, there are also a few photos of the landlord's family. I haven't found anything unusual."
"Take it out and show it to us! Maybe we can find some clues!"
Zhao Long had no choice but to return to the room and take out several other photo frames.
He handed the photo frame to Dong Xie and Dong Ning, and they each took two photos to look at.
Under the light of the candle, Dong Xie saw that not far behind the person in each photo, there was the old man holding the black cat!
"No!" Zhao Long's face suddenly turned pale: "Just now...when I looked at it just now, it was clear that he was not there!"
