Xu Lang got up early and made breakfast for Xiao Yueyue. After the two of them finished breakfast, Xu Lang personally drove Xiao Yueyue to school. After watching Xiao Yueyue enter the school, Xu Lang drove there.
CSY goes to work.
As soon as he walked into CSY, Xu Lang discovered that Luo Jiayan, Fan Yang, Lu Xing and Ding Haoqiong were gathered together, looking at something. Even Lai Pi, who had always been relatively silent, was also close to them, seemingly watching.
Something very interesting, which made Xu Lang feel a little confused.
"What are you doing?" Xu Lang walked to the office area and asked curiously.
Xu Lang's voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Luo Jiayan turned her head first, looked at Xu Lang and asked: "Brother Lang, haven't you been watching the news?"
"News? What news?"
Xu Lang frowned and asked with increasing confusion.
"Ah?! You didn't see it?"
Luo Jiayan exclaimed, it seemed strange that Xu Lang didn't watch the news.
"Isn't it the news yesterday that someone committed suicide by jumping off the building of the Life Newspaper? The female reporter named Jiang Lin'er was scolded badly. I know this. What's wrong?" Xu Lang asked in confusion.
.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Luo Jiayan shook her head and said.
"Isn't this news? Is it the news the day before yesterday that the young couple's negligence caused the death of their baby?" Xu Lang guessed again.
"Oh, no, come and take a look at this."
After Luo Jiayan finished speaking, she handed the mobile phone in her hand to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang took it and took a look and found that it was a video playback interface. A woman dressed in blue and white, holding a scalpel in her hand, was slumped on the ground covered in blood, looking at the camera with empty eyes.
Xu Lang frowned when he saw the woman in the video. He felt that this woman seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing Xu Lang frowning, Luo Jiayan asked: "Brother Lang, do you recognize who she is?"
"It looks familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before." Xu Lang frowned and said.
"Of course she looks familiar. She is the reporter Jiang Lin'er you just mentioned. She was the reporter who appeared at the scene of Zou Renjiang's murder before." Luo Jiayan explained.
"What? It's her. No wonder she looks familiar to me."
Hearing this, Xu Lang's frown suddenly relaxed. However, Xu Lang soon frowned because he found that there was blood on Jiang Lin'er's body and her whole condition seemed very uncomfortable.
good.
Blood?
When he saw blood, as a police officer, the first thing he thought of was that there was a case, so he raised his head and looked at Luo Jiayan and the others.
"Watch the video yourself. After watching it, you will understand what's going on." Luo Jiayan said calmly.
Xu Lang raised his eyebrows, pulled the video's progress bar to the beginning, and clicked the play button.
The first ten seconds of the video are pitch black and nothing can be seen. However, you can feel that the camera is shaking, as if someone is adjusting the position of the camera. There is no sound in the video. I don’t know that the video recorder did not turn on the microphone.
It was probably edited out in the later stage. In short, the video was very quiet at the beginning, and nothing could be seen except for darkness.
After more than ten seconds, the picture finally appeared. The surrounding light was still very dark. Based on the surrounding environment, Xu Lang judged that this video should have been recorded at night because the sky was black.
The first thing that appeared in the camera was a figure, with his back to the camera. Under the moonlight, he looked very strange. Judging from the figure's size, he should be an adult man, because the man had his back to the camera and could not see clearly.
The other person’s face.
Seeing this, Xu Lang frowned again.
Suddenly, Xu Lang's pupils shrank violently, and his whole body became tense.
A human hand appeared in the video without any warning. The hand appeared so suddenly that Xu Lang was startled. Fortunately, there was no sound in the video at this time. If it had some background music from a horror movie, it would be even more thrilling.
-Excited.
It was a woman's left hand. The arm was very thin, the palm was small, and the fingers were very slender. With the moonlight, Xu Lang could even see the smooth skin on the fingers. However, at this time, that hand was stained with
When it was full of things, Xu Lang subconsciously put the phone close to his eyes and looked carefully for a while. He found that the things seemed to be blood, but he didn't know whether it was human blood or animal blood, or maybe it was ketchup.
With the appearance of human hands, the camera began to shake. However, soon, the camera stabilized again. A woman's head slowly raised. The first thing that appeared was the woman's long hair, then her smooth forehead, and then her eyebrows.
, and a pair of confused and red and swollen eyes, and then the nose and mouth.
The woman's face was very close to the camera, blocking most of the picture. Xu Lang also keenly discovered that the woman's face was stained with something like her hands. If he guessed correctly, this
The thing was probably blood.
After struggling for a while, the woman moved slightly away from the camera, and her outline suddenly became clear. It was Jiang Lin'er's face.
Because it is far away from the camera, you can see Jiang Lin'er from the chest up. She is disheveled, her eyes are confused, and she is looking around. In her right hand, she holds a sparkling scalpel with a trace of blood on it, which is particularly eye-catching.
Dazzling.
After Jiang Lin'er looked around for a week, she finally realized that something was wrong with her. She first looked down at her left hand covered in blood, and then at her right hand holding the scalpel. She opened her mouth wide, her face
With an expression of disbelief, she quickly dropped the scalpel in her hand and backed away suddenly.
As Jiang Lin'er retreated, the figure that first appeared in the camera appeared again, and this time, a strange scene appeared.
Originally, it was a figure with his back to the camera. At this time, he turned over and faced the camera.
Xu Lang's guess was correct. It was indeed an adult man. Although the video was a bit blurry, he could vaguely identify that he was a middle-aged man.
After Jiang Lin'er took a few steps back, she seemed to notice something. She suddenly stopped retreating, slowly turned her head, looked behind her, raised her head, and saw the middle-aged man.
She spun around in a circle and began to retreat again. This time, she retreated towards the direction of the camera.
As Jiang Lin'er retreated, the distance between her and the camera became shorter and shorter, getting closer and closer. Finally, her whole body was pressed against the camera, and the camera began to shake violently. Then, the picture went dark, and the video reached
Here, too, it stops abruptly.
After watching the entire video, Xu Lang's brows furrowed. He felt that his breathing had become much faster, and he could even clearly hear his own pounding heartbeat.
The screen lasted less than ten minutes, and there was no sound. There were two people in the screen. One was the alive Jiang Lin'er, and the other was the middle-aged man who was motionless and with his head lowered. As for whether the man was alive.
, or is already dead, no one knows.
Judging from the video, there were only two people at the scene. According to the surrounding environment of the video, it should have been shot at night, and the shooting location should be on the roof of the building, because Xu Lang saw the tops of some buildings in the video.
After watching this video, Xu Lang had many questions in his mind.
First, who is the man who appears at the beginning of the video? Is he alive?
Second, why does Jiang Liner appear in the video? What is the blood stain on her body? Whose blood stain is it? Is it her own or that of the man behind her?
Third, where is the shooting location?
Fourth, who shot this video? Was it Jiang Lin'er, that man, or was there a third person at the scene?
Fifth, why does the video only have pictures and no sound? Has it been edited in post-production, or has the microphone not been turned on?
As these questions emerged, Xu Lang raised his head, looked at Luo Jiayan and asked: "What's going on with this video? Where was it found?"
"Oh, it was in the comment section of the news about young couples that Jiang Lin'er wrote the day before yesterday." Luo Jiayan explained.
"Who uploaded it?" Xu Lang asked directly.
Luo Jiayan looked at Xu Lang and then at the others, but hesitated to speak.
Xu Lang frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you know who uploaded it?"
Luo Jiayan shook her head and said, "That's not true. You might not guess who uploaded the video."
Hearing what Luo Jiayan said, Xu Lang frowned again, thought for a moment, looked at Luo Jiayan in surprise, and said, "Isn't it Jiang Lin'er who uploaded the video?"
Luo Jiayan didn't speak, just nodded.
Fan Yang added at this time: "The video was uploaded at 5:20 this morning. As soon as the video was uploaded, it was discovered and caused a lot of commotion. This comment was immediately upvoted.
It has the most comments and likes among the news, and currently ranks third.”
"Third? What are the first and second comments?" Xu Lang asked casually.
"The first one is 'Men are all scumbags, please tell me about the scumbags you have met under this comment'; the second one is 'Women are all green tea bitches, please tell me about you below this comment'
The scumbag I met, these two comments were posted the day before yesterday. There were a lot of people participating, and there were a lot of random comments. And this video appeared early this morning, but within just a few hours, it was
It has reached the third position. If it continues at this speed, I estimate that it will rank first soon." Fan Yang said slowly.
After hearing the No. 1 and No. 2 comments, Xu Lang's face suddenly filled with black lines. These are all nothing. However, what he is concerned about now is not the problem of scumbag men and scumbag women, but the problem of this video.
The person who uploaded the video was Jiang Lin'er. Could it be that she really uploaded the video? Xu Lang didn't know the answer.
If the video was really uploaded by Jiang Lin'er herself, then what was her motivation and purpose for uploading this video? Was she trying to atone or apologize?
If the video was not uploaded by Jiang Liner herself, then who uploaded this video, and what are the motives and purposes of the person who uploaded the video?
Of course, the most important thing to find out about this is to find Jiang Lin'er herself. Only she can explain this matter clearly.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang asked: "Does the network supervision department know about this?"
Lu Xing nodded and said: "I just asked the comrades in the Internet Supervision Department. They have noticed this situation and have notified the comrades from the nearby police station of the Life Daily to go to the Life Daily office building to inquire about the situation."
"How is the situation?" Xu Lang asked.
Lu
Xing shrugged and said, "We don't know yet. None of the reporters are at work. It's useless to go too early to see anyone."
Hearing what Lu Xing said, Xu Lang nodded, feeling that what Lu Xing said made sense.
Although Xu Lang was very interested after watching this video that looked very scary and puzzling, someone must have already handled this case, and it was not CSY's turn to intervene yet. After all, CSY
The most important task at present is to find Sun Wenyao quickly. As for other things, you can put them aside for a while. Even if Xu Lang wants to take care of it, Tian Yongchun probably won't let him take care of it. Xu Lang doesn't want to go to Tian Yongchun's place anymore.
It feels bad to be scolded when you touch your nose.
After thinking about this, Xu Lang returned the phone to Luo Jiayan and said: "Don't think about these useless things, let's quickly think about how to find that guy Sun Wenyao, otherwise Lao Tian will invite me to drink tea again.
, when the time comes, if I don’t feel well, how can you feel better?”
"Ha ha......"
"yes."
Everyone laughed at first, and then, after seeing Xu Lang's stern gaze, they all nodded and returned to their respective workstations to start working, and Xu Lang also walked into the office.
After arriving at the office, Xu Lang sat behind the desk. He wanted to look through the four files related to Sun Wenyao, but he gave up after just taking a look at the files on the table. Xu Lang had already read more than two of these files.
After reading it ten times, he could memorize it backwards and forwards. Whether he read it or not, it no longer made much sense. However, what could he do if he didn't read the dossier?
Ever since Qin Fen committed suicide in fear of committing a crime, Sun Wenyao has not started his next action. I don't know if he has given up or is planning something bigger. In short, Xu Lang began to expect Sun Wenyao to commit another crime. However, Sun Wenyao did not do it because of
Xu Lang's expectations reappeared. He seemed to be aware of the crisis, noticed something, and began to hibernate, which made Xu Lang very depressed.
Since there was nothing to do for the time being, Xu Lang turned on the computer, found the news article written by Jiang Lin'er, moved the mouse, and Xu Lang quickly found the comment that was already ranked second.
There is no text in the comments, and some only have a video of eight minutes and twenty-seven seconds, and below the video, there are more comments.
Xu Lang did not read the irrelevant comments, but clicked on the video and watched it again.
Having watched it once and knowing the content of the video, the nervous and terrifying feeling was relieved a lot. However, when watching it again, Xu Lang still felt a little nervous.
Compared with the scenes in horror movies with scary sound effects and exciting background music, this kind of shaking camera, dim scene environment, silent shouting, and of course, the sudden flipping over
The figures all give people a sense of terrifying tension and excitement. This is a visual stimulation, which is far more real and terrifying than the terror deliberately created in horror movies.
The deepest terror and fear actually come from the human heart. When there are no pictures in a video and only sound, people will subconsciously make up the picture of the scene based on the sound, even though the picture may not be real at the scene.
However, people will still subconsciously imagine it. In the same way, when people see this video with only pictures and no sound, they will unconsciously imagine the sound of the scene, especially if they have seen it before.
For people who watch horror movies, when they see this video, the background sound effects from horror movies will pop up unconsciously to fill in the 'flaws' in this video.
As the saying goes, people are scary and can scare people to death. What is really scary is not the person who scares you, but yourself. The horror of horror movies is not actually the movie itself. In other words, the movie is just an external factor that makes you feel scary.
The terror and fear come from deep inside our hearts, images we make up on our own.
Xu Lang watched the video over and over again, and he always felt something was weird. As for what was weird, Xu Lang couldn't tell. It might be the intuition of a senior police officer, but he just felt weird.
"Are you still reading this?"
Ding Haoqiong came to Xu Lang's office at some unknown time, stood beside Xu Lang, looked at Xu Lang's profile and asked.
Xu Lang moved the mouse and clicked on the picture. The video paused. Xu Lang leaned back and leaned on the chair. He turned his head, looked at Ding Haoqiong and asked: "Do you feel that this video gives people a certain feeling?"
Weird?"
Seeing Xu Lang's frown, Ding Haoqiong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I thought you were going to say something, but it turned out to be this. The video was shot very strangely, and it looked very scary.
, it’s normal to feel weird.”
Hearing what Ding Haoqiong said, Xu Lang shook his head and said: "It's not the weird kind of horror movie, but..."
Speaking of this, Xu Lang couldn't go on because he couldn't find any words to describe the weird feeling in his heart.
Ding Haoqiong waited for a while and found that Xu Lang did not continue. He smiled and said: "My team leader Xu, you are still thinking about these things now. You should think carefully about how to find that guy Sun Wenyao.
, don’t let him commit the crime, otherwise, I will go crazy.”
Hearing this, Xu Lang nodded and felt it made sense, so he straightened up and prepared to turn off the video interface.
"Dingling bells..."
At this moment, Xu Lang's cell phone rang, and the caller was Tian Yongchun, and Xu Lang suddenly felt an unknown feeling.
