"You are frontline personnel, you are closer to the poster of that post than I am, and you have a deeper understanding of the actual situation." The old director said sternly: "Just speak out your truest feelings, and speak boldly."
After a moment, someone finally spoke up, saying in an uncertain tone: "When I was investigating the case, I did feel that the poster's narrative angle was very unique. If it weren't for the victim himself, he wouldn't be able to write such content."
For example, the places where the blood splashed on the ground when he was killed, the terrain changes that can only be clearly felt when being dragged on the ground, and the sharpness of the stone that hit the head...
In addition to the victim himself, the only one who can write such words is the murderer. But of course the murderer will not harm himself by writing such a post to get caught. So apart from the murderer, there was only the victim...but the victim's body was clearly placed in front of the police officers. While they were looking at the corpse in front of them, they were also watching the murder described from the victim's perspective. They really felt a huge oncoming impact, and their three perspectives were shattered.
"There is also the June 29 case. This was originally a closed case. We were the only ones who knew about it, and the only person who died was Brother Wang..." Brother Wang was a senior to this group of police officers and died in the line of duty a few years ago. "The tone in that post is clearly that of Brother Wang, and there are also the criminals mentioned in the post, as well as the results that Brother Wang found while tracking down the murderer. The investigative process and word usage in it are exactly the same as Brother Wang's..."
As the policeman spoke, his voice was unconsciously tinged with tears.
At the beginning, Brother Wang was stabbed dozens of times by the murderer to protect him, a newcomer, and died. This made him unable to forget Brother Wang's existence for the rest of his life. He would look up the cases that he could not solve every now and then, and he knew Brother Wang's investigation habits very well. He felt that no one in the world could write such a post except Brother Wang.
"Besides, I can't understand why the creator of this software deliberately spread such a big lie to cause our discussion... He has no need to do so."
With the current social status of APP, even if it doesn't do the trick of attracting attention, there will definitely be people who listen to what it says. Why must it talk about ghosts and gods, which will cause everyone to be overly suspicious?
On one hand, the posts seemed to make sense only if ghosts existed, and on the other hand, the completely illogical but stubborn arguments about the dead were being made. What
on earth
was going on?
The police captain tapped the printed document and said, "The posts say that after death, people become ghosts because of their obsessions, and only when the obsessions are fulfilled can the ghosts disappear."
"The previous posts are because the victims died too unwillingly, and the unjust and tragic cases have not been solved for a long time, so they have remained in this world."
"Now that the cases are being solved one after another, they finally got what they wanted and were able to disappear... Logically speaking, this actually makes sense, at least it explains the reason and purpose of the posts."
A police officer nodded after hearing this: "Indeed, the biggest beneficiary of these posts is the deceased. If we really want to use the conspiracy theory and say that the poster posted this post with a purpose, I think apart from giving the deceased justice, he actually won't get any benefits."
After hearing this, a police officer retorted: "How can there be no benefits? ? Didn’t you see at the end of the article that because there are too many ghosts left in the world in recent years, the yin energy in the world is too heavy and has begun to affect people’s normal lives, so the APP store sells amulets, and each amulet costs 99 yuan... Isn’t this a good thing? "
It is because of the opening of this store that the criticism of the APP on the Internet has become unprecedentedly loud. Some people say that feudal superstition has caused great harm to people, and some people say that the APP is using the death of the dead to market and hype, and now it has really exposed its true nature and started to save money, etc.
The police should be more rational, because -
the policemen who heard their colleagues' doubts retorted: "If APP really wants to make money, then the bounties for catching those fugitives in recent days have accumulated at least one million, but no one has come to claim it."
"And there are people who were rescued because of private messages. Many people want to reward the senders of the messages heavily, but they don't get any response at all."
"And with APP's magical powers, I don't think he needs to covet this little advantage. He can just use this ability to do something else. Is he afraid of not making money?"
These words made many police officers present nodded subconsciously, and they obviously recognized APP's abilities very much.
Someone suggested: "In that case, why don't we buy a peace charm and give it a try? Since he sells things, the materials used to make this thing must be able to provide a lot of clues, right? And he always needs someone to deliver the things to him, whether it's express delivery or some other means, there will always be some traces left for us to find out."
The police officers present all brightened up and nodded, saying: "That's a good idea!"
"Okay, I'll place an order and buy one now!"
--Different
from the police's positive attitude, netizens are more sarcastic and cursing about this matter.
Many people don't believe that the so-called Yin Qi affects human life at all. They just think that the creator of this APP has a problem with his brain and has to make such a weird thing to deceive people.
Internet celebrity Lily has a different view on this.
Many netizens who like her know that she has been a little mentally weak in recent months. She is in a trance and always says that she can hear some strange noises.
It is okay during the day. When the sun shines on her, both her body and mind are temporarily saved.
But at night, Lily will be scared to death by all kinds of abnormalities. She works very late, basically starting live broadcasts in the afternoon and continuing until the early morning. Then it takes several hours to edit and upload videos, and she can rest only when the sun rises.
Then, during the live broadcast at night, Lily would turn on the camera and would always startle as if possessed. She would show a terrified expression every now and then, and couldn't help but run to the window or the living room to see what the sound was, causing the audience to sigh - because the audience couldn't hear anything except Lily's voice through the camera.
But Lily was crazy and said that there really was a sound, saying that someone was singing, someone was crying, someone was laughing... Every time she said something different, and she said it with a sincere look on her face, and even cried on the spot, begging the audience not to lie to her and tell her that they actually heard it too.
But the audience didn't buy it at all, saying that Lily was either crazy or trying to please the crowd and deliberately attract everyone's attention.
The situation is very similar to the APP that is currently being questioned.
Therefore, after this post appeared, Lily seemed to have found a life-saving straw and immediately placed an order to buy the amulet, and even mentioned this incident during the live broadcast.
Many fans said: "Lily, you have been deceived so many times, and you haven't learned your lesson."
"During this period of time, you went to the master to buy so many messy things, and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there is still no effect at all?"
"I think you should go to the temple to worship more often, at least it will give you some psychological comfort."
"Haha, I think you are like this because you have done too many things that make you feel bad, otherwise why would you suddenly feel that there is a ghost around you?"
"The black man upstairs is so fierce!!"
"You should go see a psychiatrist and ask him to prescribe some medicine for you. You have dark circles under your eyes. I don't know how long it has been since you had a good sleep. I really feel sorry for you."
Lily sat in front of the screen with a pale face and a dull expression, forcing a smile: "Actually, I did the same thing... The doctor said that I might be under too much pressure and had auditory hallucinations, and I needed to have a good rest. He said that recently, there are more and more patients with symptoms like mine. Most of them are addicted to the Internet for a long time and lack exercise, which leads to mental exhaustion and hears strange noises. He said that I am not suitable to continue working at night... I really can't stand this every night, and I may not do live broadcasts anymore in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the number of bullet screens on the screen increased rapidly. Many people tried to keep me, but many people also said that they should take care of their health and take a break for a while.
As they chatted, time passed unknowingly until the early morning.
Lily's body suddenly tensed up, and her face once again showed the despair that the audience was familiar with. She said in a hoarse voice, "It's here again, that sound is here again!!"
Her eyes were red, tears fell uncontrollably, and her body tilted strangely to the left, because she felt an indescribable chill sweeping over her right hand, where she held the mouse, as if it could freeze her bones!
She cried, "There is really something beside me, wuwuwuwu, right beside me wuwuwuwu."
She seemed to have encountered something very scary, curled up in a chair, holding her head tightly, and the despair in her heart could be clearly felt through the screen.
She trembled and choked with sobs, saying, "The voice said it would send me something, wuwuwuwu, it kept asking me, kept asking me, wuwuwuwuwu... It was a child!"
The audience felt scared just by watching. Some said that the performance was so realistic, some said it couldn't be real, and some comforted the anchor with heartache, hoping that she would not be so painful.
Then Lily suddenly raised her head, looking at the air beside her with a face full of fear, and screamed as if she was talking to someone: "What? What are you going to give me?! No!!!"
As soon as the voice fell, in the tense eyes of all the audience, Lily looked at the place where the mouse was placed on the table.
——Suddenly a talisman appeared.
A vague, timid childish voice rang in Lily's ears: "Sister, is this the amulet you bought? I'm here to deliver it to you..."
"Sister, can you hear me? I put it on the table for you!!"
Bang, Lily rolled her eyes and fell directly to the ground.
The bullet screen in the live broadcast room exploded the moment she fell.
Only the amulet in the camera was quietly placed on the table, looking particularly innocent.
...
The situation in the live broadcast room was quickly searched by netizens.
Many people arrived late and did not see anyone break into Lily's home. They nervously sent the paralyzed and completely unconscious Lily to the hospital, wondering, "What are you looking at? So many people are looking at an empty room."
"Amulet? What amulet?"
"Huh? It suddenly appeared? When did the hype of the water army become so stupid? Do they think we are easy to fool?"
"Is this another marketing trick of the hell APP?"
Until they saw the video uploaded by netizens. In the video, Lily suddenly screamed with a look of fear, saying something like "give it to me" and looking at the air beside her.
Then she suddenly shouted desperately, "Don't give it to me!", and a amulet appeared on the table in response. Many people were shocked just by seeing this scene. Lily was completely frightened and fell to the ground, which made people panic.
There was no trace of performance or editing in the video.
Many netizens trembled and called it weird.
Then, there was the second, the third, and more and more netizens who bought the amulet and shouted in shock online: "I also received the amulet! My God, this amulet appeared directly in my house, I was almost scared to death!!"
"And after the amulet appeared, the mall immediately showed that the item had been delivered. Oh my god, I got goosebumps all over my body!!!" "
I also received the amulet... It was placed on the desk in my room. At first, I thought my mother had opened my package without permission, and even entered my room, put the item on my desk, and had a quarrel with my mother. As a result, my mother said that she didn't receive the package at all, and didn't use the key to open my room... I'm a little panicked now."
"Are all the people upstairs so timid? Am I the only one who thinks this is so interesting?? I received the amulet and opened it to see a very strange pattern inside. It looks pretty good, but I just don't understand what it is. [Picture][Picture]"
"I looked at the amulet over and over again, but I really can't see anything wrong with it. Well... I'll just keep it with me to keep myself safe. I still believe in the Hell APP. After all, it has done so many good things and has been saving people. (Smiley face)" "
My daughter was saved by the Hell APP! I bought it as soon as it came out, and bought one for each of my family and friends! Thank you APP, although I don't know who made it, but I will never forget your kindness!!"
“I wasn’t interested in this thing before, but after hearing what you said, I’m really curious! I’ll buy one too, and then close all the doors and windows at home to see where the APP can deliver the items.” “
…”
“Ahhhhh!! This talisman is really useful!!! Woohoo! I’m going to cry!!”
“I’ve been hearing strange noises every night lately, and it feels like there’s a shadow floating outside the window. People around me think I’m crazy!! But after I got this amulet yesterday, I haven’t heard that noise anymore!! Woohoo! I’m so excited now!! I finally had a good sleep for once in half a month!!”
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I've always felt a little cold these past few days, no matter how many clothes I put on. But after I got the amulet, that chill that seemed to chill me to the bone suddenly disappeared. It's magical."
"You're not alone upstairs!! I feel the same way too!! I thought I was wrong, but it turns out I wasn't!"
"Oh my god, this is a large-scale superstitious scene, it sounds like it's real..."
"Well, I'll join in the fun and buy one too. A hundred yuan isn't expensive anyway. I'll just support the Underworld APP and buy a peripheral for it."
For a while, the topic of the amulet on the Internet caused widespread heated discussion. Not only on social media, but also in Moments and chat groups, there were discussions about the amulet.
Chu Feng was also paying attention to this matter, but his focus was more on how the software maker managed to force the software to be installed on every user's mobile phone or computer, and that the software seemed to be still under development.
From the layout of the software interface, it can be clearly seen that the maker is expanding the functions of the software step by step, from the initial forum to the private message function and the user mall.
Chu Feng felt that this APP would definitely make other big moves, and it would most likely cause a heated discussion in society.
However, the young man next to him seemed to be very interested in the ghosts and gods contained in this software. The young man did not have a mobile phone, so he always borrowed his phone to watch the forum with him, and asked him what he thought about the existence of ghosts.
To be honest, Chu Feng did not really believe in these superstitious things.
But because he often read the posts in the forum with the young man, over time, Chu Feng more or less began to vaguely believe in such things, and said to the young man: "If ghosts really exist, that should be a good thing."
It sounds very romantic that after death, the obsession is not gone, and only after fulfilling the wish can you leave with peace of mind. If we can realize our dreams after death and leave this world without regrets, shouldn't it be the happiest ending for human beings?
Si Qi smiled and said, "If it were you, what would you wish for?"
If you think deeply about this sentence, it is actually very philosophical and goes straight to the core.
Chu Feng couldn't help but think about his own life. If he were to die tomorrow, what else would be important to him?
Money? Career? Honor? Or...
As a high-income worker who had the ability to buy a house independently in his early twenties and had no restrictions in life, he suddenly felt that his life seemed to have been muddling along, just living for the sake of living, and there was no such thing as chasing dreams, which sounded very noble.
If there is something that he would not be willing to die without completing at this moment...
it may be the young man in front of him.
He may even hate himself for deliberately restraining himself from contact with the young man because of all kinds of constraints he added to himself during his lifetime. If he left without being with the young man, he would definitely not be willing to accept it.
Until this moment, Chu Feng's mind was clear, and he suddenly figured out many things.
——Since you like her, why don't you let go and chase her? It's obviously
a simple thing, why do you have to think so much?
Thinking of this, Chu Feng suddenly had an impulse, an impulse to touch the young man.
He looked at the young man with his eyes, and the young man did not show any reaction of shrinking back or shyness when he was looked at like this. Instead, he showed him a very beautiful smile with a frank face.
Chu Feng couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to hold the young man's hand. He felt that the young man would not refuse.
But...
Si Qi's expression changed slightly, and he took back his hand on the sofa without hesitation, looking at Chu Feng inexplicably.
Chu Feng was stunned.
He was a little sad and puzzled, so he had to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
Si Qi pursed his lips, and after a moment, he said: "No, I'm just not mentally prepared." He raised a smile, and there was a little regret in his smile.
This reaction made Chu Feng feel even more strange.
He intuitively felt that if he took a step forward, he would definitely get a response from Si Qi. From Si Qi's eyes, Si Qi really wanted to have close contact with him, but why?
Chu Feng frowned secretly, always feeling that something was not right, and he had actually noticed this a long time ago, but he had been deliberately ignoring it in his subconscious...
What was it?
Si Qi still left the Chu family at night.
Chu Feng stood in the night, staring at the young man's back quietly, his heart sinking more and more.
On Si Qi's side, because of the launch of the APP, the ghosts lived in happiness all day long, and the atmosphere became visibly positive and sunny - although they were all ghosts living in the night, and they could not bathe in the sun for a long time under normal circumstances.
The ghosts that were densely packed around the police station had mostly disappeared in a few days. The middle-aged police officer ghost even ran to the community to settle down because he knew Si Qi would appear here every night.
In the center of the community garden, there was a large screen that only the dead could see. The screen was engraved with mysterious, faintly glowing patterns. It was because of these mysterious patterns that the ghosts could use the screen to upload what they wanted to say to the Internet.
Everyone was very grateful for what Si Qi brought. If we use the words of the living, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a favor of rebirth.
The middle-aged police officer has been working as a mediator for many years. He is basically busy asking the ghosts in the community about their lives during the day, to see if they have any troubles, whether they are happy, etc.
Now, he has directly found Si Qi and discussed with him.
"You said, in addition to redressing the grievances of the wrongly dead ghosts, can we do something for other ghosts?" The middle-aged police officer ghost said worriedly: "After all, there are only a few ghosts who insist on staying in the world because of accidental death. There are more ghosts who stay in the world because their wishes cannot be fulfilled."
For example, some people have a very hard life before they died, and they don't have a day of leisure. After they die, they want to travel around the world and shuttle through various scenic spots every day.
Others wanted to study but couldn't afford it because of poor family conditions before they died. After they die, they stay in the library all day to read books, or go to the university to take classes.
These wishes are still good. What worries people is that some ghosts want to say a few words to their parents or loved ones, or to have their paintings recognized by the whole world...
These wishes require the cooperation of the living world, and the police ghost has no idea how to help them realize them.
Thinking of this, the police ghost suddenly laughed and said, "Fortunately, the live broadcast of the little girl a while ago made many people realize that ghosts are real. Maybe someday, people in the living world will really recognize us and be willing to accept us?"
Seeing the police officer's yearning look, Si Qi asked in confusion, "Why do you use questions?"
Isn't it possible to do this kind of thing as long as you want to do it?
Police officer: "Huh?"
The next morning, the thick-browed policeman had just arrived at his work station when he received a notice of attendance.
"Nanyuan has called the police for three consecutive days, saying that a large wild animal invaded his chicken coop and ate more than a dozen chickens."
The policeman wondered, "Large wild animals? Nanyuan is not close to the mountains. If there were really large wild animals, they would have been discovered long ago."
The female colleague shook her head with a serious expression and said, "This matter is a bit strange." He turned around and took out a dozen photos sent by fax from the drawer and showed them to the police: "These wounds are not caused by ordinary animals. The local police speculated that it was a wild beast like a tiger or a lion."
The scene in the photos was horrible, with bloody liquid splashing all over the walls and the ground. The bloody chicken feathers were flying everywhere, and the tattered and obviously bitten body was thrown on the ground in a mess, which was obviously the traces left by an irrational animal.
The policeman's face suddenly became serious and he frowned and said, "Is the person okay?"
"For now," the girl said seriously, "but the chicken coop is not far from the owner's house. The wild beast can force its way into the chicken coop that is blocked by a wooden door, so it can definitely break into the house which is also only blocked by a wooden door. The farmer is in a very bad mood right now, so he keeps calling the police... The police there feel that they can't handle this kind of thing on their own, so they report it to us."
The policeman nodded and said directly, "I'll go over there, and you help me draft an application. It may require the use of munitions or live ammunition."
"Okay." The girl nodded very kindly and turned to get the application form.
After filling out the form, the girl handed the paper to the policeman and handed him a small, folded, irregularly shaped light yellow paper package.
Policeman:?
The girl grinned and said, "Amulet, don't you like the Hell APP very much? I bought one for you."
The policeman said with a straight face, "When did I like it very much?"
The girl looked like "You don't need to explain, explaining is covering up", and said simply, "Then you don't want it?"
Policeman: "…………"
Policeman: "Yes."
The girl quickly stuffed the amulet into his pocket.
Half an hour later, a group of police officers with real guns and police dogs arrived at Nanyuan. The tired-looking farmer received them and took them to inspect the chicken coop. He could not hide his fear in his voice: "I have always heard strange noises coming from here in the past few nights... roaring sounds, but I couldn't tell what kind of beast it was, and there were also noises from chickens. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out to check. I only found out the next day that several chickens had been eaten."
"I thought it had eaten so many chickens, it should be full, but it seems to remember my place completely. It comes here every day, and eats more each time than the last time. At first it was five, then seven, and yesterday it was twelve! I don't know what kind of animal has such a big appetite... I'm afraid it will come again in the future... It doesn't matter if the chickens die, but if something happens to my family, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life! Mr. Police, please, really, please..."
The farmer's eyes were dark blue, and he was obviously scared by this sudden beast that might appear again at any time.
The police officers nodded seriously, indicating that there was no problem. The farmer and his family retreated to a safe area, while they cautiously stepped into the dangerous area, searching for any suspicious signs of wild animals.
After all, they were professionals, and they could see more clues than the farmer.
A policeman frowned and said, "Come and have a look."
Colleagues gathered around and the policeman pointed to the traces on the ground and said, "I didn't see any animal footprints next to the body, but I found several traces of this kind..."
An officer frowned, "Wait, these look like human footprints?"
Another retorted, "Human footprints don't move that much. Look from here to here, it's at least 1.5 meters, and there's 2 meters over there."
A group of people were puzzled, "So what kind of wild animal is this?"
Someone took a photo of the footprints, posted it to the group, and tagged professionals to help them identify what kind of animal's footprints these were.
Someone quickly replied: "Isn't this an adult's footprint? It's just that the footprint is too shallow. You're in a muddy place, right? A normal adult human weighs at least 30 to 40 kilograms, and the photo you took weighs at most 10 kilograms."
"It can't be a human. The bite marks on the chicken carcasses are not something that human teeth can do." The police officer replied: "And the weight doesn't match. The owner of this footprint ate more than 20 chickens in three days. His appetite is very big. It is speculated to be a large animal." "
That's strange." The expert said puzzledly: "Could this guy have tied a hydrogen balloon to himself?"
Police officer: "…………"
He imagined a monster tied to a hydrogen balloon half floating in the air and eating live chickens ferociously, and shook his body.
It felt too weird.
