Chapter 4 Five Questions

The door was closed, and I stood at the side of the offering table. My forehead was soaked with cold sweat at some point.

"Mr. Gao, are you okay? Can I continue to ask questions?" A cold and cold voice came from under the paper mask, like a question and an urging.

"It's okay, keep asking." The situation was not right, so I focused more on planning an escape route. As for the anchor of the underworld show, only a ghost would be willing to be it.

"Mr. Gao, I hope you can answer the following questions seriously. If your answers don't satisfy us, you may never be able to leave here." He paused for a moment and picked up the crumpled small box on the table. The ad added: "Just like the real owner of this card - Xia Chi."

"Xia Chi! Xia Qingzhi's brother! He was indeed killed here!" My heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "Are all the police in Jiangcheng useless? Why can't the missing persons be found out?!"

Xia Qingzhi didn't lie, but why was there no information about his brother in the household registration survey? Even her family had no memory of Xia Chi. There were too many doubts and no clue.

"Mr. Gao, please listen to my question carefully." The person on the left is speaking this time. There is no difference between the three of them in terms of body shape, except that the paper masks on their faces are different from old to new.

"When I was thirteen years old, I killed my sister because I thought her crying was very noisy, and then threw her body into the well outside the house. When I went to look at it the next day, the body had disappeared.

Five years later, because of a small dispute, he killed his friend and threw the body into the well outside the house. When I went to see it the next day, the body had disappeared.

Ten years later, because he was drunk, he was stalked by a young lady who accidentally got her pregnant, so he killed her and threw her body into the well outside the house. When I went to see it the next day, the body had disappeared.

Fifteen years later, his boss scolded him so he killed him and threw his body into the well outside the house. When I went to see it the next day, the body had disappeared.

Twenty years later, he was tired of taking care of his disabled mother, so he killed her and threw her body into a well outside the house.

When I went to see it the next day, the body had not disappeared. On the third day, the fourth day, and every day after that, the body was not gone. "

"Mr. Gao, your first question is to tell me, why did your mother's body not disappear?"

"What kind of test question is this?" I concentrated on it and didn't miss a single word in his question, but after listening to it, I didn't know how to answer. Their questions are less like selecting talents and more like criminal psychology tests.

The other party's tone was plain and simple, but it unexpectedly made me feel scared. It seemed like a big hand was holding me in the darkness, slowly suffocating me.

"Thirty seconds of thinking time has passed. Please tell me your answer."

At this point, I have no choice but to analyze it and make inferences based on the limited clues in the story.

"Every time you killed someone and dumped the body, the body would disappear inexplicably the next day. At first glance, it seemed that there was something wrong with the well, but after you killed your mother, her body stayed there. Think of it this way , the only reasonable explanation is that every time you kill someone and dump the body, your mother is the one who helps you dispose of the body."

After I finished speaking, I stole a glance at the man. There was no emotion behind the paper mask.

"Now please listen to the second question." He continued to ask questions without telling me whether the answer was correct or not.

I don’t know if you have heard of murder films. They are underground films that include a lot of torture and killing scenes and are only known to acquaintances. Some people say that this kind of video is even a real murder incident filmed by the murderer himself.

One day I was drinking with a friend, and he said that he had this kind of weird tape on his hand, as if a glutton would fight to the death to eat such delicacies as pufferfish and venomous scorpions. I consider myself brave and full of curiosity, so I expressed my hope. Willingness to be able to watch.

So he invited me to a secluded cabin in the mountains. I arrived on time as promised, but he was thirty minutes late.

"Sorry, sorry, my third child suddenly has a fever and is unwilling to take medicine."

"As a child, I understand."

"Haha, let's get started."

My friend showed the video that I was looking forward to. The background was full of heart-wrenching crying and trembling laughter. A child of about ten years old died after being tortured by a masked murderer for twenty minutes. Because the plot was too tragic, I saw Halfway through, he regretted turning off the TV and asked his friend in a very loud voice: "You can actually watch this kind of video. Don't you have children yourself?"

Facing my indignation, my friend replied casually: "Yes, there are two. But, so what?"

"Mr. Gao, your second test question is to guess whether I in the article can walk out of the hut alive."

Compared with the first question, this question is also hysterical and full of evil energy.

"Watching a video together won't cost you your life, right? Although this video..." As I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed a detail. The last sentence of my friend in the article said that he had two children, but his excuse for being late was It's the third child who has a fever. If the boss and the second child are both here, then where is the third child?

"My friend was thirty minutes late, and the child died after being tortured for twenty minutes. Could it be that... the masked murderer was my friend?" I was shocked by my own speculation, and I was extremely scared when I thought about it.

"Mr. Gao, please pay attention to the time."

"Personally, I feel that the person in the article will not be able to walk out of the hut alive. He will probably become the second murder video in the hands of friends..."

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly oppressive, so I unbuttoned the first two buttons of my shirt, put one hand in my pocket, and tightened my grip on the anti-wolf weapon.

"Yes, please listen to the third question."

"They were childhood sweethearts and thought they could watch the sunset together. But at the age of 35, she got lung cancer. Holding the diagnosis certificate, she cried and laughed. She didn't smoke and didn't have any bad habits, so why did she get lung cancer? She came to him In the office, she saw a bag of her favorite dried fruits in his drawer, and there was a medicine bottle next to it. This was shocking, and she shed tears. Three days later, she cried and lit birthday candles for him, but he was not there. She He lit 34 long candles and one short candle, and smiled and said: You have really lost weight."

"Please tell us why she said he had lost weight."

I seemed to have seen this question somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a while. After thinking about it over and over again, I came up with an imaginative answer.

"The man in the article betrayed the woman. He smeared cancer-causing drugs on the dried fruits she loved to eat. He wanted her to die. After the woman learned everything, she killed the man, refined his body into oil and made wax. The result Not enough 35, that’s why she said he really lost weight.”

"Very imaginative. Please listen to the fourth question."

"Because of cheating, I pushed my girlfriend off the sixth floor and pretended that she had committed suicide to deceive the police. But maybe because of my inner guilt, I always thought that my girlfriend would come back to me.

I was in fear all the time, until the seventh day of my girlfriend's first day, I met a half-immortal. He said that the evil ghost has returned to his soul, and if I want to survive, I have to hide under the bed tonight and not be discovered by her.

I did as I was told, and as soon as early morning passed, the sound of basketball hitting the ground could be heard in the living room. When the bedroom door was opened, I knew that I was dead. "

"Mr. Gao, do you know what I saw in the article that made me so desperate?"

"Isn't her girlfriend dead? This question is a bit contradictory." The question is based on the fact that the girlfriend is not dead. Of course, it may also be another situation where the girlfriend becomes a ghost.

"You just have to answer."

My mind was racing, but what I was thinking about was a deeper question. Why did the other party ask me these four questions? What is their purpose?

"Assuming your question is true, the girlfriend in the article fell from the sixth floor. She may have hit the ground head first, so she climbed up with her head. This coincides with the 'dong, dong' sound in the living room. As soon as the bedroom door opens, hide The man under the bed was immediately discovered by his girlfriend with her head down, so he knew he was dead."

"It's wonderful. Now there's only one last question left." The three people said in unison at this time, and the tacit understanding has reached a scary level.

Cold sweat slid down my chin and onto my neck, and my Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

"Mr. Gao, the last question is..."

"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
