When I got home, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I always felt unsettled. These two days were weekends, and the library staff's rest time was staggered from that of normal people. But this rule has nothing to do with our library. Liang Jingwu and I

Just enjoy a normal vacation.

After sleeping at home for two days, I had almost forgotten about the interrogation of the prisoners. When I went to work on Monday, I saw the empty desk across from me, and then I remembered that Liang Jinwu had asked for leave.

I was alone in the huge library. I surfed the Internet for a while, got upset, and wandered around the floor with my hands behind my back. I flipped through books, did push-ups, and strolled to the reference room at the back. I dug out the beams.

I held back my card for five seconds, looked at the electronic door, walked around the door twice, and decided to forget it after thinking about it. Anyway, I will be working for almost a month, and when the time comes, I will issue my own card, and I can enter however I like.

Don't think Liang Jiwu is so mysterious, but I don't think there are any shocking secrets hidden in it. It is just county annals and some rare historical books. They must be all in classical Chinese. It is difficult and difficult to read, but it is interesting to think about it.

Quack.

Let’s just write my novel. I turned back to my desk, playing Japanese movies and writing the novel at the same time. I wrote until noon, then wandered to the cafeteria to eat, and came back in the afternoon to take a nap on the broken sofa, reading novels about crime-solving from the Republic of China.

Soon it was time to get off work. On the way home, I felt as if I had entered retirement early. I don't have any big ambitions, so I think this is pretty good. Life is just about getting through the day and taking your time.

The next day Liang Jingwu still didn't come. He looked at his watch and saw that he was about to get off work. He had to hurry up and finish writing this chapter. As I was writing, a call suddenly came.

I looked at the caller ID and it turned out to be Chen Pingan. I was quite indifferent to this guy and had nothing to talk about with him. But after all, Chen Pingan was an old classmate and still had a little power. It was better to be a friend than a passerby. The call was answered.

I called him and asked him what was wrong.

Chen Pingan was very depressed on the phone: "Liu Yang, come to the detention center after get off work and let's drink together in the evening." I asked why your voice sounded wrong. Chen Pingan hesitated and said: "The night before yesterday, Xu Jianan died in the detention center. .”

"Who is Xu Jianan?" I asked.

"That's the red-haired bastard we interrogated that day." Chen Ping'an's voice was trembling.

I frowned when I heard it, as if a huge stone suddenly blocked my heart, and I quickly asked what was going on.

Chen Ping'an said: "Let's talk tonight when you come. Oh, by the way, is Kuanwu with you?"

I said: "He has been on leave for several days and has never been seen."

"What is this kid busy with?" Chen Ping'an said in a somewhat uneasy tone: "I called him n times and couldn't get through. Forget it, let's drink together without him. I'm really worried. Please talk to me."

After I put down the phone, I thought about Hongmao's strange behavior that day. I have a very rich imagination, and I fell into a trance when I thought about it. For a moment, I seemed to be back in the interrogation room on that cold winter snowy night. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly called.

With a start, I suddenly realized that I was alone in the cold and damp underground library.

My body felt a little cold for no reason, and the old light bulb covered with gray-white dust on the ceiling was buzzing. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. It was surprisingly quiet here, but there seemed to be something inexplicable slowly moving.

surge.

I really couldn't stay any longer, so I stood up, stamped my feet, packed my bag and was about to leave. But the uneasy feeling just now seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, like an ominous omen. My back felt hairy and my gums felt a little shaky.

It was itchy. I forced myself to calm down and walked slowly along with this feeling, passing through the rows of old bookshelves and arriving at the very back.

The electronic door of the data secret room stood there quietly, and my uneasiness came from the door. Looking at this door, I suddenly had a strange feeling: This data secret room was so tightly guarded, and the purpose was not to prevent people from letting people in.

People go in, but they don't want something inside the door to come out.

Thinking of this, I shivered all over. I ran out of the basement with my bag on my back, turned off the light and locked the door. My heart was pounding. For a long time, I smiled bitterly, wondering if I was disturbing myself, and I had to scare myself.

In the evening, I arrived at the police station full of worries. Chen Ping'an was already waiting in front of the door. When he saw me coming, he pulled me away. We didn't go to any seafood restaurant this time, but found a barbecue stall. It was cold and windy outside, and I

It felt quite comfortable to grill kebabs and drink beer with him indoors.

I asked him what happened to Xu Jianan.

Chen Pingan drank down a glass of wine in one gulp, his face flushed, and he looked at the stove for a long time before saying: "The director almost took off my uniform for this matter."

"Is it so serious?" I said while chewing peanuts.

Chen Pingan smiled bitterly: "Think about it, I just beat the suspect, and the suspect died two days later. I said it had nothing to do with me, what do you think?"

"What did the medical examiner say?"

Chen Pingan's expression was a little strange, his facial features were trembling, and it took him a long time to say: "It's a heart attack."

I was dumbfounded: "How could that kid have a myocardial infarction when he was in his teens? Who would believe it if I told him?"

Chen Pingan pointed at my nose: "Look, look, you don't even believe it. Those who know say that the kid died of a heart attack, and those who don't know say that I beat him to death. Damn it."

"I respect the facts." I said, "Why on earth is he having a heart attack? He has a family history of heart disease."

Chen Pingan mechanically bit into the mutton skewers: "I don't know. The forensic examination said he had a sudden heart attack, coronary artery disease or something, but I don't understand it. In ordinary people's terms, that's it." He hesitated and said

: "I was just scared to death."

I blinked rapidly: "Is it possible that I was scared to death because I was threatened by fellow inmates?"

Chen Ping'an looked at me and gave a thumbs up: "Gao. Your statement is the same as the official statement thought up by our director. Let the whole institute unanimously say this to the outside world."

"Don't be ridiculous, what's going on?" I said impatiently.

Chen Ping'an lost his temper at this time. He said tiredly: "According to the prisoners in the detention center at the time, this kid has been very abnormal since he was locked up. He doesn't interact with others. He just sits against the corner and faces inward. He doesn't even eat.

He doesn't eat or drink. If anyone tries to touch him, he will become hysterical and bite like a mad dog.

In the middle of the night on the day he died, a prisoner heard that he seemed to be talking to someone. If you look closely, he was the only one in the corner. He was saying to the wall that the scene was too intrusive and the prisoners were hiding away.

Far. What’s even more terrifying is that he actually started crying like a baby, intermittently.”

"What happened next?" I asked.

"The next morning, the prisoners reported. Colleagues from the detention center went over to check, and when they touched his body, they were damn cold. His face was ashen, and this man died just like that. No one knew when he died or how he died.

"

I said slowly: "Since there is an autopsy report to prove it, it has nothing to do with you."

Chen Ping'an took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling and said, "I don't care about this at all, it's just that the bastard died so strangely. Liu Yang, I feel so stuck in my heart, I always feel like something is wrong."

I swung the glass and said nothing.

"You know, when they were collecting the bodies, they saw my name carved all over the corner of the wall facing the gangster."

I opened my eyes wide and looked at him in horror.

Chen Ping'an took a big sip of wine: "He wrote it all before he died. Who do you think I provoked?"

I thought to myself, if you were not so violent and impulsive, you wouldn't have such bad consequences.

Chen Pingping patted me: "Liu Yang, wait and see Gao Wu and tell him. He has a lot of crooked ideas and has read a lot of books. He also knows some great people and helps me come up with ideas. I always feel ominous.

It’s a premonition. I’ve felt uncomfortable ever since I found the body, and until now, I feel like I’m being watched by something.”

What he said made me shiver all over for no reason, and I coughed and said, "You're overthinking, and you're just making trouble for yourself."

"You know," he said, "I was the first one to find out about the murder case in Yunchun that is making a lot of noise on the Internet. It happened to be that day. I went to the countryside to investigate clues about a theft case. After that, I wanted to leave.

, someone interjected, saying that there was a strange room, and no one had been seen coming in or out for a long time. I was so fucking busy, I thought

To show off, I pretended to be a bitch and went to investigate. As soon as Ma Gobi opened the door, he saw three corpses hanging from the beams. You don’t know how I felt at that time, like big rocks.

It was suddenly blocked in my heart, like countless small steel knives cutting into my heart. If I hadn't gone in with the fellow villagers, I would have shit my pants on the spot."

As he spoke, his voice became more and more trembling: "Since that day, I have had a very strange feeling. The joints all over my body are sore, and I feel weak, as if I have a bad cold, and I can't describe the energy. It seems that

I have unlimited glory, and I was summoned by the director again

, it’s my colleagues who praise me again, but my heart is heavy, I always feel that something is pressing on me, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe. Compared with before, I am particularly manic now, and I can’t control it even though I know it’s wrong.

Come on, it’s really fucking crazy.”

When I heard him say that I opened the door and saw three corpses hanging from the beams, my hair stood up. For some reason, I suddenly thought of Hong Chen. At that time, Wang Dongmei sealed her soul in a paper figurine and hung her in the room.

The soul falls from the beam.

"What do those three corpses look like?" I asked in a trembling voice.

Chen Ping'an glared at me: "Don't seduce me. I've already made a mistake by telling you what I just said. I won't say it anymore. I won't say it anymore."

I suppressed my curiosity and thought, forget it, if he doesn't want to say it, just don't say it. Even if he said it, I wouldn't be able to solve it. The farther away from me, the better. I returned to the county seat from the city and left Li Yang Tongsuo.

Part of the reason is that they want to be isolated from these things. I am not a particularly curious and exploratory person, and I believe that it is better to do less than to do more.

After drinking, I helped the drunk Chen Pingan out. He walked to the roadside and vomited profusely. After vomiting, he squatted on the ground and kept breathing heavily. I could only guard him in the cold wind.

After a while, he stood up and actually held my hand and cried: "Liu Yang, I didn't want to hit him. I really didn't want to hit him. I couldn't help it at that time."

I knew he was feeling aggrieved, so I said, "It's okay, don't think too much about it. Life or death is determined by fate. He only has that long life. The Lord of Hell has the final say and it has nothing to do with you."

Chen Pingan wiped his tears and said: "Liu Yang, are we friends?"

I nodded.

Chen Ping'an said: "It's my brother, please do me a favor."

"Say it."
