Dark Cave - part 3 - Chapter 14
The key is that I have read this short paragraph a hundred times and memorized it almost word for word, but I still can’t see how it can help me. The author of this entry, Inoue Jin, is one of the compilers of the entire dictionary.
He stretched out in the chair , and suddenly his arms were tightly clasped on the back of the chair. ” Haha, is this really surrender? ” It was Ouyang Shan. Who else could it be? !
” Shanshan, stop kidding. How old are you? ”
” You know, I’m only 300 days younger than you. What a coincidence, we met here at such an old age. ”
” What a coincidence . Why don’t you go and report to my mother how hard I study and how hard you follow me. ”
” Who’s following you? You’re so conceited. I’m here to look up information. Yesterday, a policeman came to question me and asked me about the details of the ‘ Top Ten Haunted Places in Beijing and Jiangnan ‘ . I bought the materials from my cousin when I wrote that blog post , so I came here to make up for it today. What about you? What are you studying, Yamashita Masahiro? ”
” It’s a long story. I’ll tell you slowly when I have time. ”
” Do you still regard me as your confidant? ”
Guan Jian’s heart softened when he heard this . He lowered his voice and said, ” Then I’ll talk to you about the main idea and the gist of the paragraph. I’m trying to find out who murdered Shishi … I saw this in Shishi’s room. ”
Guanjian took out an exquisite little jewelry box. ” I just learned that the earrings of this pair of little fireflies were taken from a famous Japanese ceramic artwork. The artist of the artwork was Yamashita Masahiro. Yamashita Masahiro was killed in Jiangjing five years ago. A Chinese security guard and bodyguard was also killed . Guess who he was? Shishi’s father Huang Guanxiong. ”
Ouyang Shan’s eyes widened: ” And then? ”
” The police suspected that Shishi’s father had embezzled and collaborated with the robbers, and listed him as the first suspect, or the only suspect. Just as I am eager to know the truth now, Shishi must also want to get to the bottom of this case, because the police have given up. I guess she gradually chose a completely different focus from the police: Yamashita Masahiro’s background. Obviously, the police did not find Yamashita Masahiro’s enemies. They must have a lot of information on hand. Since there is no breakthrough, it means that this case is probably not that simple, that is, it is not a simple robbery and murder. Shishi wants to prove that maybe some special background of Yamashita Masahiro led to his murder. But I don’t know how to check. I worked hard for a whole morning and only found this one piece of information. ”
Ouyang Shan smiled and said, ” Why don’t you say you’re a hobbyist? My cousin told me that you can ask the librarians for help when you need to look something up in the library. If they happen to be in a good mood, they can help you save a lot of time. ”
Bayusheng deliberately hid behind a large bookshelf and observed the young couple. The two of them looked like a perfect match, and it was understandable that they were best friends since childhood.
Until Huang Shiyi appeared.
The key suspect cannot be eliminated for the time being. There is also Ouyang Shan.
Perhaps killing is not the key original intention. The understanding of people with special abilities often revolves around the word ” consciousness ” , and ” subconsciousness ” is also often mentioned. Could it be that the key subconscious mind is ” unique ” ?
No matter how he forced himself to abandon his preconceived ideas, his focus of thought still fell on Guanjian. Today, when he was looking up information on the ” Top Ten Haunted Places in Beijing and Jiangnan ” , he wanted to abruptly remove Guanjian from the position of the main suspect, but he saw this scene.
Back at the hospital dormitory, Guanjian couldn’t wait to put a CD into his laptop. After the librarian helped him search, he found hundreds of articles in Chinese and Japanese related to Yamashita Masahiro. The Chinese articles were mainly reports from various media on Yamashita Masahiro’s murder, and there was not much new, until a 1997 “Jiang Yi Brief” attracted his attention.
The “Jiangxi Art Brief” is the internal publication of the Jiangjing Artists Association. In this issue, there is a newsletter titled “Japanese famous ceramic artist Yamashita Masahiro invited to visit Jiang again”, and a photo of Yamashita. He looks energetic, with gray hair hanging down. Behind him is a row of ceramic works of varying sizes, the largest of which is a statue. It looks familiar. Looking closely, it is the statue of the Virgin Mary in the small Catholic Church near the art museum!
It was already 11 o’clock in the evening when I came out of the ward . Guanjian rode his bike to the entrance of the institute, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and rode to the entrance of the Notre Dame Church. The iron gate outside the church was locked. Why is this sacred place called a ” haunted place ” ? Why is Yamashita Masahiro related to this small church? Could it be related to his murder?
A gloomy and damp wind blew, with a slight ” squeak ” sound in the wind, like the sound of a half-open window being blown by the wind. The iron railing was only about two meters high, and the key was to jump and climb the top of the iron railing and climb over the door. Sure enough, a window on the side of the church was half open. It seemed that tonight’s visit was God’s will, although he didn’t know his purpose.
clue that could connect him to Yamashita Masahiro .
He crawled into endless darkness and immediately felt the power of darkness, a power that could devour everything.
I so frightened? Perhaps it was all because of the darkness. I had an inexplicable feeling that someone was watching me in the darkness.
Guan Jian had not prepared for the adventure before coming to the church, and did not bring any lighting, so he planned to turn on the light. He slowly moved to the wall and began to feel for the light switch in the auditorium. Finally, he touched a plastic switch plate , and just as he was about to press the switch, a cold hand pressed his five fingers tightly.
Guan Jian almost screamed out loud. He took a deep breath, but his body still trembled violently.
” Don’t turn on the light! ” A very familiar female voice.
If this place is really haunted, who could it be? ” Shishi! ”
” Sister Cai lives in the backyard. Although she is old, she is very alert. ” The nerves are too tense and the thoughts are too deep. This familiar voice is clearly Anzaki Sachiko.
” Why are you here? ”
” I’m so sorry, did I scare you? ” Sachiko remained absolutely polite in such an occasion. ” I remember the first time we met was also in this church, is it a coincidence? ”
” Of course not. You and I both came here for a purpose. ” Although I have no basis for suspicion, I suspect this place is related to the murder of Yamashita Masahiro. ” The key is to prepare for a showdown.
An Qi Sachiko was silent for a moment in the darkness. ” You checked all this for Huang Shiyi, right? ”
” Everything I do is for Shishi, including my cooperation with you. ”
Sachiko Anzaki sighed and said, ” I am no different . My father was killed here ten years ago. ”
The key is to finally understand why Sachiko Anzaki frequently visits this small church.
” My father was invited by the Jiangjing History Museum to investigate in Jiangjing, and he was killed while investigating this church of great historical value. ” Anzaki Sachiko said softly. ” Sister Cai has always insisted that my father was killed by the devil. ”
” You believe this? ”
” So I came to check! Actually, I …” Sachiko Anzaki seemed to not know what to say.
” At least, you are half-believing and half-doubting. ” An old female voice sounded in the darkness , and Sachiko screamed ” Ah ” .
The lights suddenly came on, and a hunchbacked old woman in a black robe stood not far from the two of them. She was the old nun they met that day. She said, ” At least you are not like the others who sneer at me whenever I mention the devil . ”
An Qi Sachiko walked forward quickly, lowered her head and said: ” Sister Cai, please forgive me. When I closed the window and door for you during the day, I deliberately didn’t close that window tightly, just because I wanted to come here to check carefully at night. Maybe if I’m lucky, I will run into the devil. ”
Sister Cai’s eyes were as cold as ice: ” But you chose the far side instead of the near side . In fact, I never lock this side door in front of the church. Do you know why? Over the years, I would come in every midnight to see if I would run into the devil who harmed your father. ”
” Have you really seen the devil? ” Guan Jian asked curiously.
” Who are you ? ” Sister Cai asked sharply. ” You were here two days ago , right? ”
The key is to give your name and apologize.
” Of course I have seen it , but every time before I could see it clearly, it disappeared into thin air. ”
Guan Jian asked again: ” Hasn’t your father’s murder case been solved? ”
” The murderer has been identified. He is a nearby resident with a history of robbery. The police said my father and the murderer had a fight. Both of them had knives in their hands. During the fight, the murderer’s wrist was also cut . He killed my father and ran away not far away before fainting from excessive blood loss. When the body was found, my father’s wallet was in his pocket. ”
Sister Cai shook her head and said, ” Zhang Chao is indeed a well-known scoundrel, but he is definitely not a murderer. ”
Guan Jian felt strange: ” Since the case has already been resolved, why are you …”
” It’s not me, it’s my mother. ”
” Your mother … it turns out that she works as a foreign teacher at Jiang University …”
” She just wanted to be closer to my father . After my father passed away, she never saw him in her dreams. She thought his soul was still lingering in China, probably because the real murderer had not been brought to justice. ”
Guanxi wanted to say that he disagreed, but after thinking about it carefully, he said: ” It is a bit suspicious. Why did the murderer die so coincidentally? However, the police came to such a conclusion, obviously because they found signs of a scuffle. ”
Sister Cai suddenly interrupted and said, ” Not only did they meet, they also wrestled. I saw it all with my own eyes. ”
Sister Cai coldly watched the two young men walk away, then slammed the iron gate shut and locked it.
She made the sign of the cross on her chest and turned around, and a ghost flashed.
The first time she saw the devil’s shadow was at least thirty years ago; ten years ago, before the Japanese man Yasuzaki Jinji was murdered, the ghost appeared more frequently, and later, the ghost seemed to visit less frequently, only coming once in a long time.
She was almost certain that it was the devil, because people would not disappear so quickly. She always had extremely contradictory feelings towards this devil: she wanted to face it directly and curse it into hell with the cross and scriptures, but she was also afraid to fight it, fearing that the devil’s power would be greater than the power given to her by God and would harm her.
If she had n’t been afraid, she might have rushed forward and pulled Zhang Chao away.
The devil disappeared again. It came and went freely as if it were in an empty space.
it think of this sacred temple? How can we allow it to act so recklessly?
She strode towards the direction where the shadow disappeared. No matter how evil the devil is, he will be defeated by God. I should not be afraid. She staggered to the backyard, reciting Latin scriptures. The courtyard was silent, with only Sister Cai’s mumbling.
Suddenly, a white, skeleton -like hand stretched out from nowhere and tightly grasped Sister Cai’s dry neck.
Sister Cai’s mouth gradually opened , and her eyes widened. She saw the devil’s horns, bright red eyes, and a face that blended into the black robe and black hat and was unrecognizable. The devil’s mouth made a ” hissing ” sound, and a white bone finger shook in front of her eyes for a few times, and then stood up between her lips, as if telling her: ” Shut up! ”
” small mountains ” on Bayu Sheng’s desk. One is all the information about the Shanxia Yaguang ceramics robbery and murder case, and the other is a pile of information about the ” Jiangxi Medical Autopsy Murder Case ” , and its ” altitude ” is still growing.
