Love Scene: Evidence Not Allowed to Become Sentient

Yu Yao is a detective who firmly believes in materialism, and she trusts supernatural things the least.

Yet, ever since she was little, she could hear strange things.

At the crime scene...

Chapter 40

Yu Yao was turning around when she suddenly saw something that interested her and immediately ran over.

She stood in front of a boxing game machine, looking at a large transparent box next to it with interest.

This game console gets rewards based on strength, and compared to other game consoles, it also offers the most practical rewards. Depending on the force inflicted on the target in the game, you will get corresponding rewards ranging from 100 to 600. The smallest reward is a candy, and the higher ones are ordinary items such as pencils and bracelets, and the highest is a keychain.

After all, the reward can be obtained with just a token. Compared with other game consoles that require luck, this is quite simple.

"Doctor Bai, I want that!" Yu Yao excitedly pointed to the keychain in the reward box. Although the keychain was ordinary, the cartoon character pattern on the keychain was a royal lady wearing a white collar, who looked somewhat like Bai Fang.

Because this is the easiest and most substantial reward for men, there are still many people queuing up here to play.

Yu Yao took a token from Bai Fang and happily went to queue up.

Bai Fang stood aside and stared at those people.

The highest reward is 600, but the best result so far is 550. Judging from the number of digits, it is estimated that they are all in this digit. The keychain that Yu Yao wants is the highest 600 level. If she wants to get the keychain, it will probably be a bit difficult with her small wrist.

However, seeing that Yu Yao was looking forward to it, she just watched from the side and let her play by herself, with no intention of intervening for the time being.

Yu Yao lined up in front of the game machine and put in a token.

Most of the people queuing were men, with Yu Yao, a thin and weak girl, sandwiched in the middle. The people around her were basically staring at her as if they were watching a show.

After Yu Yao put in the tokens, she rolled up her sleeves, waved her arms, and punched the target on the hand of the game console with force.

100——!

The number of words Yu Yao typed was displayed on the game console, and a candy fell out of the reward box next to it.

"Pfft..." Someone at the back couldn't help laughing. Yu Yao turned around angrily and took a look, but didn't see anyone. She reluctantly threw another token in.

He gathered all his strength and hit the target hard again.

99——

There wasn't even any sugar this time.

Yu Yao stood in front of the game console, staring blankly at the reward box.

"If you want it, why don't you ask your boyfriend to come and fight for you? If you fight here alone, you won't get anything and it's pretty pitiful." A woman standing in the back row watching the show couldn't help laughing.

The man next to her nodded and said, "Get out of the way after you finish playing. Don't delay the others from playing. If you want to try again, let others play first."

Yu Yao pursed her lips and turned her head away, a little unwilling, but she really couldn't get it, so she could only angrily pick up the candy in her palm, ran to Bai Fang, and hugged Bai Fang with grievance.

Bai Fang smiled and patted her head, comforting her: "It's okay, try again later."

Yu Yao nodded.

The man glanced from Yu Yao to Bai Fang, his eyes suddenly brightening. He took a step forward proudly and glanced at the woman beside him, "Honey, which one do you want?"

The woman responded pretentiously, "I want the one on top, can you help me get it, dear?"

"Of course, it's easy." The man hugged her and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, then rolled up his sleeves and punched the target hard.

580——!

"What a shame! I wasn't in the best shape today," the man said. Although it wasn't 600, it was already his highest score so far. He took the reward box and handed it to the woman. "You shouldn't blame me, dear."

"Of course not, after all, dear, you're already great~" The two of them were being so affectionate that it was a bit disgusting.

Yu Yao was so angry that she was about to explode.

The two men had no intention of leaving after the fight. They stood aside and obviously wanted to see how Yu Yao fought.

Yu Yao was holding two tokens, determined not to give up until she got them today. She walked forward angrily and threw the tokens in. She swung her arms and was ready to try again, but was grabbed by Bai Fang.

She calmly peeled the candy Yu Yao had just received and stuffed it into her mouth. She rubbed Yu Yao's head with a smile and said, "Don't rush. Take your time. I'm thirsty. I saw a beverage machine outside. Can you buy me a bottle of juice? I'll watch over it for you."

Yu Yao glanced at the game machine that had been coin-injected but not yet started, and nodded. "I'll be right back. You stay here and watch it for me."

Bai Fang nodded and watched Yu Yao turn around and storm out of the game store angrily.

Several people nearby stared at Yu Yao's back, then turned to look at Bai Fang.

"I'm with her, so it's okay for me to help her fight." Bai Fang said this as he unbuttoned his coat.

She was wearing her usual work clothes today, a small blazer with a white shirt underneath. She looked particularly gentle, as if she had just come out of the office to buy a cup of coffee, exuding a harmless and gentle aura.

When everyone heard her say she was a substitute player, they basically thought she was just a slacker.

"I felt like I didn't get enough exercise at home this morning, so now I'm making up for it." Bai Fang rubbed his shoulders and muttered as he walked towards the game console.

She lowered her head and stepped on her high heels. Although it was not very convenient, it was still no problem to help Yu Yao get a key chain.

A group of people stared at Bai Fang, wanting to see how this beautiful woman would fight.

Bai Fang stood in front of the game console, rubbed her shoulders, stretched her right arm, stared closely at the game in front of her, slightly tilted her body, and punched the target hand. Her body shape was so fast that her whole temperament changed as well. She hit the target hand with a fierce punch. There was a loud bang, and the target hand was hit hard and tilted backwards, and slowly returned to its original position.

611——!

The game console made a celebratory sound, displaying the number of words Bai Fang had typed. The reward box next to it clanged, and the keychain that Yu Yao wanted fell out. The whole set of operations was carried out in silence, and everyone stood there in a daze.

From Bai Fang's move to the display on the game console, the whole process was very fast. Even seeing Bai Fang's calm demeanor afterwards, I always felt like I had just seen some kind of hallucination.

"What a shame. I'm not in great shape today." Bai Fang reached out to take the keychain and glanced indifferently at the man over there. "It's really embarrassing to score this low."

With these light words, she turned and left, leaving everyone confused.

Yu Yao went out to buy some juice and came back angrily. Just as she was about to go back to the game store to fight, she bumped into Bai Fang who was coming out at the door.

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else." Bai Fang carried her out.

"I haven't got my keychain yet!!" Yu Yao looked inside, feeling very aggrieved.

"I got it for you." Bai Fang took out the keychain from his pocket and put it in Yu Yao's hand.

Yu Yao paused and stared at the keychain in her hand again and again. It was clearly on the top layer of the reward box just now, out of reach, but in the blink of an eye it was in her palm.

She touched the little man on the keychain, smiled happily, and happily followed Bai Fang's side, "Doctor Bai! How did you get it?"

Bai Fang thought for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, "It was given to us by a kind-hearted person."

"Oh! Thank you, kind person." Yu Yao nodded with a smile, put her house key on it, looked at it again and again, and liked it very much.

After the two of them went around a few more times, they received a message from Liang Yubai.

"They said the guards have been lured away and asked us to go there immediately." Yu Yao took a look at the message and immediately pulled Bai Fang back to the remote warehouse location.

This warehouse is located on one side of the amusement park. There is a small guard room at the door. Walking inside is a small corridor, and inside is the door of the warehouse.

When the two of them passed by here just now, there was someone sitting in the guard room. Now when they came over, it was empty and they didn't know where he had gone.

After confirming, the two looked at each other and hurried into the warehouse.

Maybe because people need to come and go frequently during business hours and there are people watching at the door, all the doors are not locked and can be opened easily with a twist.

The warehouse was very large, filled with various amusement facilities, most of which were abandoned, scattered about in disarray, and covered in dust. The entire space was dark, and the air was filled with a strong smell of dust, and even an indescribable chill.

After Yu Yao closed the door, she tiptoed around and looked around, avoiding the surrounding equipment, and walked in along a frequently walked path, looking for the elevator to the underground warehouse that the female ghost mentioned.

"Is that the one?" Bai Fang was a little taller and could see a blocked elevator entrance at a glance.

"It should be, but it's blocked?" Yu Yao walked around and looked near the elevator entrance. The entrance was just blocked by an amusement equipment. It didn't look particularly heavy, so maybe she could try pushing it open.

"Let's push it open." Yu Yao immediately rolled up her sleeves and prepared to try to push it open. Thinking of her limited strength, she hurriedly pulled Bai Fang along.

Bai Fang nodded silently, estimated the weight of the equipment, asked Yu Yao to stand inside, and the two of them pushed it to the side together, making just enough space for someone to enter.

The sound of heavy equipment rubbing against the ground echoed throughout the quiet space, stirring up dust all over the ground.

"Huh? It seems to be lighter than I thought." Yu Yao was prepared to not be able to push it, and she put all her strength into it, but it was surprisingly easy to push. She didn't know if it was because she and Bai Fang were together.

After pushing it into a small gap, Yu Yao immediately went in and tried pressing the elevator switch, and found that it was still working.

"This elevator is still running. Isn't it out of service?" Yu Yao was very surprised. Before coming here, she was thinking about how to get down if the elevator stopped working.

"I see there is indeed a lot of dust at the door. No one has been here for a long time. The elevator is running because Liang Yubai did something, or it could be that female ghost." Bai Fang explained calmly.

Yu Yao nodded and watched the elevator coming up from below. Then, with a ding, it opened in front of the two of them.

The moment the elevator opened, Yu Yao saw obvious bloodstains on the floor. Even after they dried, it was still obvious from the lines that they were left by dragging.

She immediately looked down at her feet, rubbed off the thick dust on the ground, and found dried blood on the ground, still showing signs of dragging.

The reason why this underground warehouse is no longer in use is obvious, but they haven't even cleaned it up at all, and it's just been left there collecting dust, and no one has noticed?

Yu Yao paused, then suddenly turned to look at Bai Fang and pointed at the ground. "Can you see these bloodstains?"

Bai Fang looked confused and examined the ground carefully. "What bloodstains? There are none?"

Yu Yao nodded. This made sense. These bloodstains were shown to her by the female ghost as a guide. Ordinary people probably couldn't see them. The real bloodstains must have been cleaned up long ago.

"It's okay, let's go in." Yu Yao pulled Bai Fang into the elevator.

This elevator only goes to the underground warehouse, so it only has up and down buttons.

After Yu Yao pressed the down button, she waited quietly for the elevator to descend. During the journey, she glanced at the entire elevator. It had not been used for a long time, and it felt a bit dangerous to start running again. Fortunately, she arrived at the underground warehouse smoothly.

The elevator door dinged open again. As soon as it opened, a strong smell of dust hit me in the face, with the unique dampness of the underground. It was even darker than upstairs. The little light that could be seen was only in a small area illuminated by the elevator, and deeper in the room was a silent darkness.

Yu Yao took out her cell phone and turned on the light.

The two people left the elevator, and the elevator door behind them slowly closed, locking them in the darkness of the underground warehouse.

Yu Yao grabbed Bai Fang's clothes and shone the light of her mobile phone around. There were also many amusement equipment underneath, but they looked much older, and many of them were even in tatters.

In the darkness, rustling sounds were heard throughout the underground warehouse. Tiny voices came from all directions, too thin to be distinguishable, but mixed together and filled the entire space, as if countless people were whispering in her ears, giving Yu Yao goosebumps.

"What's wrong?" Bai Fang couldn't hear the voice. She only saw Yu Yao sticking close to her as soon as she came in, as if she felt something.

"This place is probably full of old things, and there are a lot of noises." Yu Yao pulled Bai Fang, holding her arm, and used the light from her phone to explore the surroundings. "It feels like the mumbling of 3D surround sound."

Bai Fang thought about it and felt that it was indeed strange and scary, so he took Yu Yao's hand, and the two of them used the light from their cell phones to shine around, searching bit by bit for the passage that was originally suitable for people to walk through.

As they passed an old gaming device, a voice suddenly drifted over to Yu Yao's ears. "When can we get out?"

Yu Yao shuddered in shock.

Normally, you might be able to remain calm when you hear such a sound, but in such a dark environment, it is really scary when such a sound suddenly comes out.

Yu Yao rubbed her ears and whispered, "I'm looking for something. If I find it, maybe you can all get out."

Perhaps because of the secret of this underground warehouse, these things will never appear outside, and they, along with the secret, have been locked underground for many years.

"Something? What?"

When they heard the possibility of getting out, many things nearby immediately started asking questions.

"It's... a voice recorder?" Yu Yao asked tentatively. There were too many things and sounds here, and she couldn't tell which device was talking. She could only glance around and then answer.

"Recorder?" A faint question rang out amidst the chaotic chorus. "Is it me you're looking for?"

Yu Yao was stunned. So much time had passed, so long that the recorder could even speak.

"Where are you?" Yu Yao asked. It was pitch black, with sounds and large equipment everywhere. She couldn't tell the direction of the voice at all.

"I'm here." The voice answered, but it was drowned out by the sounds of other equipment and was weak and small.

"Where is this place..." Yu Yao turned around in confusion.

"Uh... I don't know either. It's been too long and I can't tell where I am, but I'm near the bloodstain where the master died," the voice replied.

Yu Yao nodded silently and began to drop the light to the ground.

She could see the bloodstains from the elevator, but the ground in the underground warehouse was very dusty and the bloodstains were covered underneath. She rubbed off the dust with her feet, revealing a faint trace that was almost black.

It's the same as the one above, with traces of dragging. Probably after death, the body was dragged there, leaving traces along the way.

Yu Yao followed the tiny trace on the ground, rubbing against the thick dust on the ground bit by bit to search, and slowly found a large patch of black bloodstains in an open space. There were also some traces of splashes on the surrounding equipment. This might be the crime scene from decades ago.

"This is it!" Yu Yao immediately squatted down and scanned the surroundings with the light of her cell phone.

But there are large amusement facilities all around, so it is a bit difficult to find a small recorder from the gap underneath. It is probably covered with dust and blended into the ground.

"How is it? Can you find me?" The recorder tried hard to make a sound, and the other things around it also cooperated and became quiet, allowing Yu Yao to search.

"It seems to be coming from this direction, but why can't I see it?" Yu Yao squatted on the ground, reaching out to dig at the dusty floor, trying to touch the recorder by chance.

"I see your hand!" The recorder was also trying to direct, "A little to the right! And then forward."

"Forward?" Yu Yao reached in again and found that her arm was stuck and could not move forward any further.

You only regret it when you need it.

"Doctor Bai." Yu Yao raised her head pitifully. "Can you help me reach in? It seems to be deeper and I can't touch it..."

Bai Fang smiled and nodded, "Okay."

She had been standing there watching Yu Yao lying on the ground, groping around under the equipment, rolling around in the dust. She really wanted to pick her up and take over herself, and it would be even better if she could do it herself.

She took off her coat, bent down and lay on the ground, reaching inside along the place where Yu Yao had just groped.

"A little to the left!" The recorder below was still giving instructions, and Yu Yao relayed them to Bai Fang.

"I think I touched a small object..." Bai Fang's fingers felt around in the dust, and he actually touched something small. It was a small rectangular object. He picked it up with his fingers and found it was a dusty black recorder.

"This is it! This is it!" Yu Yao happily took it, wiped the dust off the surface, and pressed it. "No response, maybe it's out of battery. I have to wait until I get back to find out what's inside."

Bai Fang nodded, brushed the dust off his arms, and prepared to send a message to Liang Yubai to tell them about the situation here.

Just as I took out my cell phone, I suddenly heard the sound of an elevator from behind, and it seemed that the elevator was slowly rising.

Both of them were stunned.

If the elevator is going up, it means someone up there has pressed the button and wants to get off.

The two men hurriedly put the recorders into their pockets and frantically looked around for a place to hide.

But there are amusement equipment everywhere, and there is basically no place to hide.

"Look at me! Look at me!" A hurried voice came from somewhere. "I'm a wardrobe, and I used to be in the employee dressing room! I can hide you two!"

Yu Yao looked around, "Where are you?"

"Behind you! It's at your feet. Even though it's blocked, the cabinet door can be opened. You two can just lie down inside!"

Following the guidance of the voice, Yu Yao turned around with her phone and actually saw a cabinet lying on the ground. There was an amusement facility lying on top of it, blocking most of it, so it was not easy to notice. However, the cabinet as a whole was not pressed down, and the door could be opened.

"Doctor Bai! Over here!" Yu Yao hurriedly grabbed Bai Fang, pushed her into the cabinet, and lay down in it herself, closing the cabinet door.

Just as I closed the cabinet door, there was a ding sound from the elevator and it slowly opened.

The two of them held their breath at the same time, not daring to move at all, freezing in place and not daring to move at all.

A flashlight swept across the entire underground warehouse, and then someone slowly walked out of the elevator. He stood there for a while, as if paying attention to the sound, or looking to see if there was anyone. Then the footsteps gradually approached this side.

Yu Yao came in in a hurry and closed the cabinet door. She supported herself with both hands to avoid crushing Bai Fang, but she felt a little tired from supporting her upper body with both hands, and her arms were shaking.

Bai Fang noticed this and slowly reached out to hold Yu Yao's arm, holding her waist with one hand, allowing her to slowly put her body weight on him and relax the pressure on her arm.

The two people in the cabinet were afraid of bumping into something and making a noise, little by little as if in slow motion. Yu Yao slowly lay on Bai Fang, tilted her head, staring at the light outside the gap of the cabinet without blinking, for fear of being discovered.

The footsteps followed the two people all the way to where the recorder was found.

No one has been here for a long time, and the ground is covered with dust. Two people just came in and left footprints in the dust. I guess the person who came here also noticed the footprints, so he came in to check.

Bai Fang glanced outside and felt a little uneasy.

If people outside are a little smart, they can find that there are only footprints coming in, but no footprints going out.
