Chapter 23 Expose the truth
Lin Qing told everyone that although Anan accidentally disappeared due to extreme weather in the snowy mountains, his parents did not accept this theory at the time.
After the local rescue team failed to search, they pointed the finger at themselves.
"His parents accused you of deliberate murder?" Xiaolong couldn't believe it.
Lin Qing nodded with a wry smile and continued. What was even more unfavorable was that the hotel where she and Anan stayed was in poor condition and there were no surveillance cameras installed in public places.
Anan, who originally gave up his mountain climbing plan, set out in the afternoon, and the hotel receptionist happened to be away at that time. Therefore, after he left, there was no surveillance or anyone else to prove that Anan left alone.
In addition, the other party's luggage with spare facilities was also left at the hotel. All the above signs had to make the other party's parents think that Anan's disappearance was deliberately done by Lin Qing, and what was originally an ordinary disappearance case was upgraded to a...
criminal cases.
The Officer Chen that Lin Qing mentioned before was the old detective in charge of the disappearance case, Chen Liang.
"Police Officer Chen is a very serious and dedicated person. Faced with the accusations from Anan's parents, he insisted that I was not suspected of murder. He personally led a team to the mountains to collect evidence and extracted Anan's footprints, which finally cleared my suspicion. At that time, I
I was in a very low mood. Before leaving, he encouraged me to cheer up and face life well..."
Lin Qing showed the pen in his hand and said to everyone: "No wonder I picked up this diary near the snowy mountains, because Officer Chen is a local! This pen is something he always carries with him. He said it was his
The old things my father left behind have been used by me for decades and I can’t bear to replace them, so I am deeply impressed.”
"What do you mean, Officer Chen is no longer alive?" Wei Chongming asked cautiously.
Lin Qing was slightly startled and nodded uncertainly. Hubert and Xiaolong were also quite surprised. They did not expect that the power attached to the diary turned out to be the resentment left by a policeman before his death.
"I really don't know."
Lin Qing's expression was full of confusion: "After all, the last time I saw Officer Chen was three years ago. After the case was closed, I had no contact with him."
"Shen... ah no, Sang Zhan can do it. He was able to investigate this far. I don't know where he got this pen from... he will be here soon. I must ask him carefully."
Just as Wei Chongming was sighing, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the shopping mall.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Hubert stood up and waved to the other party. Looking at Su Li's message on his phone, Shen Tinglan looked up and soon saw everyone.
"You saved me, right? Thank you." Lin Qing stood up quickly and extended her hand to "Sang Zhan" in front of her.
"You're welcome." Shen Tinglan responded briefly. After meeting, everyone noticed that there were faint bruises and stubble under his eye circles, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't rested all night.
[The dungeon mission has been triggered: Within 24 hours from now, players need to protect Lin Qing and solve the mystery of the diary curse. If the mission is not completed within the specified time, all members will be wiped out. ]
The moment Shen Tinglan saw Lin Qing, Ark's voice finally sounded.
Everyone looked stern, and Shen Tinglan also got straight to the point: "Get ready, we are going to Yuheng City now."
"Is it really Officer Chen?" After hearing what he said, Lin Qing suddenly became anxious: "Is he really dead? What happened?"
"It's a long story. The pen you are holding now was obtained by me from a wraith that attacked me. Let's go into more detail on the journey. We don't have much time."
As Shen Tinglan was talking, Su Li on the side was already looking at the tickets tacitly.
As soon as the other party finished speaking, she put down her phone and said quickly: "It is now 12:30 noon, and the fastest flight is at 2 pm. We will take a taxi to the airport immediately, and we will arrive in Yuheng City around 5 pm this evening. The remaining time is There are only eighteen hours left, we must hurry up."
"That's right."
Shen Tinglan nodded towards her. After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Hubert and others also confirmed the documents in their bags.
Su Li and his team were very efficient. After reaching an agreement, everyone left the mall directly and took two cars to the airport.
Since the evil ghost that was chasing him had been eliminated, Lin Qing leaned on Su Li's shoulder during the journey and rarely had a good sleep.
Shen Tinglan stayed up all night and looked very tired. But even so, he always stayed awake and kept searching for something on his laptop.
After completing the formalities, everyone gathered together in the terminal.
Xiaolong looked around, then lowered his voice and asked Shen Tinglan: "What is all this going on?"
Shen Tinglan glanced at Lin Qing and gestured to the other party to take out the diary. He pointed to the horror stories about everyone on it and explained: "I found that during this mission, everyone was entangled by different curses. Now. These curses seem to have no connection with each other, but in fact they have one thing in common..."
He paused and continued: "Those evil ghosts who are chasing you are not entirely fabricated stories. In fact, they were all real people who existed during their lifetimes."
"Ah? Could it be that their deaths have something to do with us?"
Thinking of the dismembered female ghost, Wei Chongming couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and subconsciously blurted out: "Is Zhou Zijun a serial murderer?"
"According to what you said, the ghost girl in the white dress I met was also killed by Feng Jun?" Hubert was also confused: "But last night, I checked Feng Jun's driving records in recent years, and there was no such thing. That’s a problem.”
Lin Qing shook his head as he listened and quickly denied this for his friend: "Absolutely impossible! My friends are all good people, how could they do such a thing?"
"Can you two use your brains? According to this logic, wouldn't Jiang Xiangnan be killed by Lin Qing?"
There was no need for Shen Tinglan to explain to Su Li. Xiaolong rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Sang Zhan probably means that these ghosts are not imaginary things created by the diary. They had a certain relationship with the owner of the diary during their lifetime."
"That's right."
Shen Tinglan took out a notebook and a pile of information from his bag and handed it to everyone: "After everyone was attacked last night, I contacted Su Li and asked her to help and send over the contents of the diary. Here is the content of my investigation, please take a look."
Hubert took the information and quickly flipped through it. His eyes widened: what was recorded above was a vicious traffic hit-and-run case that occurred in City H seven or eight years ago.
On the night of the incident, the driver accidentally hit and killed a pregnant woman crossing the road because of drunk driving.
However, the driver did not call the police and surrender, but chose to hide the pregnant woman's body in the trunk of the car and escape. Later, the police received a report from a witness. During the pursuit, the driver panicked and ended up in a car accident, killing her directly.
The car fell into the reservoir.
It was probably people who were doing it, and God was watching. When the vehicle was salvaged, the police found that the driver who caused the accident was also killed.
The document also includes some photos taken from the scene. Although the face of the corpse has been mosaic-ed, the skirt the person was wearing and the red shoes missing were exactly the same as the female ghost he saw.
"The female ghost you met was the pregnant woman who was killed, right?" Wei Chongming asked subconsciously.
However, what Hubert said next surprised him:
"No...she was the driver who died while driving drunk."
"As for the ghost baby who is chasing me, I have also checked it." Su Li took out his mobile phone and found a news report: "That was a murder case that happened in S city five years ago. Because the murderer was a
A woman suffering from dwarfism and stunted growth. Although she is 35 years old, her appearance and body shape look like that of a young girl."
