We are here to catch the 'yin' witch.
Who has time to talk with this rocker?
Han Li directly took out the police officer's badge, a detective in the serious crime squad.
Immediately, the rocker's voice lowered by eight degrees, and he said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry guys, I was singing "themass" just now, and I was a bit 'excited', but now I'm calm."
I waved my hand and said it's actually nothing big, just putting a camera in your place to monitor the situation in your house for a night.
"Understood, understood, I have no other hobbies at night, just hiding in bed, everything else is a clean conscience, you can set it up," the rocker said quite openly.
I immediately took a camera out of my backpack and installed it above the door, just enough to see all the corners inside the room, to avoid blind spots, I also installed one on the opposite wall.
Xiao Ke asked me where did I bring so many cameras from?
I patted my backpack and said these are tools for a living, carried with me.
After installing the cameras, we all left, at the end of the corridor, silently paying attention to the rocker's room.
Just to not raise any suspicions.
Anyway, a hanging would take at least two or three minutes from the moment of entering the noose to death.
The four of us took turns to watch the laptop, if anyone noticed anything unusual, they would immediately shout, and watch for an hour each.
When it was me, Han Li, and Da Jinya watching the laptop, nothing unusual happened until Xiao Ke took over, she suddenly shouted: "Something's wrong, something's wrong, quickly, quickly, the computer is acting up, no, it's the screen that's acting up…."
She panicked and was about to go into a long speech, but I hurriedly went up and covered her mouth, asking her not to panic.
Then, the four of us started to gather around the computer.
On the computer screen, we saw a huge black shadow on the window of the rocker's house.
I quickly lit a cigarette and said the 'yin' witch is here.
"So soon? Should we go in now?"
"Wait!" I stopped Han Li and said that this video on the computer will capture the scene of the 'yin' witch committing the crime, so that she could explain to the superiors, and also give those who were hanged an explanation for their families.
Han Li praised me for my thoughtfulness and sat back in her seat.
We saw the huge black shadow on the window of the rocker's house moving quickly.
Gradually, the shadow moved along the wall and onto the rocker's ceiling.
A snap.
The light in the rocker's house turned on.
The huge black shadow was clearly visible under the light, it was a transparent film with a greenish hue.
The film was large, at least as big as a dining table.
"Is this the 'yin' witch?" Han Li asked me, saying there was nothing particularly special about it.
"Is it?" I asked Han Li to continue watching.
Sure enough, after a minute, Han Li was so frightened that she crawled into my arms, she had never seen such a terrifying scene.
The color of the film got deeper and deeper, until it eventually matched the color of human skin exactly.
At the same time, the face of an old lady began to appear in the center of the film.
Those wrinkles, those lines, that appearance, were all originally an old lady's face.
When the film completely condensed into the old lady's face, the old lady began to coldly laugh, while calling out the rocker's name: "Chen Dan! Chen Dan! Chen Dan!"
The old lady's voice was extremely eerie, and it woke Chen Dan, the rocker, up from his dream.
It seemed like Chen Dan was under some kind of spell, he did not look like he was fully conscious, his eyes showing a dazed look.
"Chen Dan, stand up."
The old lady laughed coldly again.
Chen Dan stood up like a robot, and then walked off the bed on his own.
The old lady started to scold Chen Dan: "Chen Dan, what are you doing alive? At your age, do you have money in your hands?"
"No!"
"Last time, when you caught a cold, you still borrowed money from home, right? You are still a man, aren't you? You are just a useless waste." The old lady continued to berate Chen Dan.
Chen Dan muttered: "I am just a waste."
"Even calling you a waste is overestimating you. Think about it, no money, no wife, no house, what's the point of living for you?" The old lady suddenly spat out a word and spat out a rope: "Here, pick up this rope and hang yourself."
"No, I won't go, I don't want to die." Chen Dan's subconscious seemed to awaken, and he didn't want to hang himself.
The old lady started using vituperative language again: "Heh heh heh, don't want to die? Do you think you can turn things around by yourself? Can you become famous? Think about the road to fame, thousands of people crowding onto a single plank bridge, can you make it through? You might as well die, it's better to be done with it! Heh heh heh heh."
Chen Dan, after listening to the old lady, without hesitation, grabbed the rope, fastened it to the steel bar holding the electric fan, and prepared to put his head into the noose.
"Alright! Grab the 'yin' witch." I waved my hand and, along with a few others, rushed into Chen Dan's house.
We rushed to the door of the room.
I could still hear the 'yin' witch incessantly mocking Chen Dan: "Tsk tsk, you are really pitiful, just like a dog, wasting air, wasting money. You'd be better off dead!"
"Damn it, 'yin' witch, stop causing trouble." I kicked open the door, pointed at the 'yin' witch on the ceiling, and told Huang Pizi, "Go, bring her down!"
"Squeak!"
Huang Pizi immediately rushed forward, leapt onto the bed, used the bed's elasticity to jump onto the wall, took a few steps on the wall, then leapt and grabbed the thin film of the 'yin' witch on the ceiling.
The film tore, and the 'yin' witch immediately transformed, revealing an old lady's face.
She kept yelling: "Huang Daxian, you can't catch me, we are life-and-death brothers."
Ignoring her, Huang Pizi brought the 'yin' witch in front of me, opened his mouth, and threw the old lady's face at my feet.
The nearby Dajinya couldn't wait any longer. He poured corpse oil on the 'yin' witch's body and then lit it using a candle.
The 'yin' witch instantly turned into a green flame, with desperate, eerie screams.
"Huang Pizi, my 'yin' witch's unjust soul will not rest. In the underworld, I will have a reckoning with you."
I coldly laughed with a cigarette in my mouth: "Yin witch, stop pretending. You're just the embodiment of human malice, a strange being formed by the stench on Huang Pizi's body. You even want to confront the underworld and Huang Pizi? Will the underworld take you in?"
Ultimately, the 'yin' witch is just a fusion of the most desperate emotions of humanity. All the darkness of human nature resides within her, with the aim to kill anyone struggling with life's difficulties but persisting.
In the warehouse apartment, all the youth striving to live a better life, chasing their dreams, is her paradise!
If it weren't for Han Li discovering the unusual suicides here, she would have likely killed many more.
Finally, the 'yin' witch turned into ashes in the corpse oil fire.
I avenged my Little Ke cousin.
After the incident, Little Ke transferred money to me and repeatedly thanked me.
I told her to stop thanking me, and to just transfer an additional five thousand yuan.
Of course, I did not ask for this five thousand yuan for free. After all, as Little Ke's cousin's spirit couldn't find the way to the afterlife, I had to ask Dajinya to guide her.
This five thousand yuan was actually Dajinya's guidance fee!
Additionally, I didn't take a single penny of the extra five thousand yuan. I gave it all to Dajinya, because I also had Dajinya guide the spirits of the other three suicide victims!
By the time everything was over, it was already past three in the morning. Dajinya and I, with exhausted bodies, went home and fell asleep.
This sleep lasted until noon the next day.
At noon, I was woken up by a phone call.
It was Han Li's urgent voice on the phone: "Shuishui, come to the police station, the photographer has returned."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this news, I quickly got out of bed.
Could it be that the origin of the fox ghost's coffin will finally be uncovered this time?
