"Same prophecy?"
Gu Zhisang was a little surprised and asked, "Are you sure it's not him?"
The spirit team member said: "It is basically certain."
"First of all, although the real 'prophet' is also anonymous, the real name that can be traced back is only 'Titia'. The account behind this anonymous account used by Haiming is his own - that is, another account;
Through this account, his IP address and various information can be traced back. "
"In addition, the two accounts appeared seven days apart, and although there was a lot of overlap in the content they posted, the narrative style and details were different, and it was obvious that they were two different people."
As the team member spoke, he compared the posts of the two 'prophets' and took them out and handed them to Gu Zhisang to read.
The former’s posts are always concise and clear, containing only time, place, and events.
The latter is a post posted by Pixia for Haiming's account.
Despite the deliberate imitation, the narrative format is basically the same, but with the addition of some mysterious and pretentious words and picture descriptions, the sense of mystery is reduced.
Many netizens on the Internet have also discovered this and started speculating on the matter.
But most netizens did not realize that there was not one person behind the two prediction posts. Instead, they speculated that the other account was a "prophet" giving everyone hints to guide them to verify the predictions.
A member of the psychic group said: "After the police found this Haiming, they went straight to interrogate him. He was not nervous at all and insisted that he could have prophetic dreams. He also said that he even dreamed that the police would come to interrogate him, so he waited at home."
As he said this, Haiming looked complacent, and there was even some condescending contempt in his eyes when he looked at the police officer.
Although the police did not believe it, they investigated this person's network and monitored his real life and found that Haiming was indeed law-abiding. He went to school to work every day and went home to rest after dinner.
Apart from the fact that his posts are still being updated, there is nothing suspicious.
This makes people wonder, can he really have predictive dreams?
The spirit team member closed the file, sighed and said:
"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Haiming is the real 'prophet'. He has explosive acting skills, superb skills and the ability to conceal the truth. He manipulated two accounts and fooled us. So, he is still a major suspect in this case. We have not relaxed our surveillance and investigation of him."
The reason why the authorities still suspect Haiming is that among the five people who died in the "death prophecies", two were people in the art world and were also students and teachers at the Windy City Academy of Fine Arts.
Among the family of four who were involved in the first car accident, the male owner is 51 years old this year. He is also a well-known painter in the province's art circle. He has a lot of experience and wide connections. If you search his name on the search engine, you will find a lot of domestic and international awards.
This person's title at Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts is first-class full professor, one level higher than Haiming. The two are colleagues and they often see each other in the office area.
On the day he died in a car accident, he received news the night before that the condition of an elderly family member who was recuperating in a hospital ward after surgery had worsened, so he drove his family to the hospital to visit the elderly man early that morning.
The disaster occurred when passing the Fengcheng River Bridge.
Through the intact dashcam in the car, as well as the surrounding surveillance and passers-by's footage, it can be learned that the main cause of the family's car accident was the aging of the car's brake oil pipe.
Before the disaster, the owner of the car grumbled about this problem:
"It seems to be leaking oil. I have to go to the 4S shop to replace it as soon as I get back."
As a result, the oil pipe burst when the car owner stepped on the brakes frantically.
But what made the police feel strange was that all the investigations and evidence showed that it was the car owner who suddenly went crazy first!
When the man of the house was driving to the middle of the bridge, he suddenly screamed in fear for some unknown reason, then swerved the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve and hit several cars.
In the footage captured by the surveillance camera, his expression was distorted with fear, as if he had seen something horrible.
Even after the car crashed three times and he and his wife in the passenger seat were injured, he still did not stop.
It was not until his wife and the child behind him began to grab the steering wheel and try to control his arms that the middle-aged man suddenly woke up and slammed on the brakes;
Eventually the oil pipeline burst and their car crashed into a large truck, killing the family of four on the spot.
Due to this strange behavior, the police conducted extensive investigations and determined that the car had not been tampered with by any outsiders in the past few days and that the oil pipe had aged naturally.
When the members of the spirit team repeatedly checked the video surveillance, they did not see any ghosts or evil spirits.
All the evidence shows that this was an accidental tragedy.
After watching the video and all the screenshots, Gu Zhisang frowned and said:
"Your feeling is correct. This is not an ordinary case."
Although there is no evil spirit appearing in the video, the face of the man driving the car is covered with a layer of black deathly aura that is abnormally thick.
This is not caused by natural causes.
"Who is the other deceased person from Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts?" Gu Zhisang asked.
Soon, a member of the spirit team pulled out another person's photo and handed it to Gu Zhisang:
“This one.”
The person in the photo was a young man with ordinary features and no particular merits. However, he was not very old. Gu Zhisang could tell that he was only in his twenties.
"An, a first-year graduate student at Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts, died from being crushed by a plaster statue..."
According to members of the spirit group, Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts has a sculpture major, and when students in the department finish their classes and their works with plaster, they will move to the balcony to ventilate and dissipate the smell.
There is a wire fence around the balcony wall of the school classroom, and there are several pots of flowers and plants on the balcony.
After class that day, the students of the Sculpture Department moved their works to the balcony as usual. Some of the small plaster works, only the size of a fist, were placed on the balcony wall by the students.
Also, because there are wild cats in the school, they are not afraid of strangers at all. Sometimes they are even carried into the classroom by students, or they jump onto the podium by themselves.
In short, it was such a coincidence that the cat which happened to be in the classroom got frightened for some reason, and its fur stood on end. It suddenly jumped onto the balcony wall and knocked over a flower pot on the wall.
It fell off the balcony along with a small piece of plaster that had been rubbed off.
Obviously, the 4th floor is not a very high floor, but the plaster hit the back of An's head when he was on his way to the cafeteria with his classmates, and he was killed instantly!
The back of An's head was dented and damaged, blood plasma splattered, and he died on the spot.
The classmate next to him witnessed An's miserable condition and was so frightened by the incident that he suffered a psychological trauma. A few days later, he dropped out of school and went home to see a psychologist.
This case happened in full view of the public, and the only murderer was the cat.
The final solution to the incident was that the school compensated the family of the student who caused the trouble and euthanized the cat. From then on, cats were no longer allowed to enter the teaching building, and objects were not allowed to be placed on the classroom balconies.
What is even more coincidental is that this An was the student of the professor who had died in a car accident earlier.
Because of his special identity and the prediction of his disaster in the "Death Note", everything becomes unusual and confusing.
When the police questioned Haiming whether he had predicted the death of the master and apprentice and what he thought about it, Haiming's expression was unnatural and his answers were vague.
The spirit team member said: "Coach Gu, there must be something wrong with this guy named Hai! I think he is responsible for the deaths!"
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you so sure?"
The other party replied: "Otherwise, this is all too coincidental... and this Haiming has lived an ordinary life for almost 50 years, how come he suddenly had a prophetic dream?!"
"From the perspective of his motive, it is entirely possible that he did this. The deceased professor had higher status and titles than him, so it is possible that he killed him in order to further improve these titles."
"Then how do you explain the deaths of others?" Gu Zhisang asked.
The third victim was a local wealthy businessman who made his fortune by speculating in real estate and had no connection with the art circle.
The fourth victim was an employee of a Windy City audiovisual PR company, and had nothing to do with the art world;
His job is to maintain a marketing account. In order to earn traffic every day, he posts all kinds of true and false news online and provokes verbal battles among netizens.
As for the last person to die, he was the person corresponding to the prophecy that was just released the day before yesterday.
This time, the 'Death Note' is not as accurate as the other prophecies, and netizens are not completely sure which dead person the mysterious 'prophet' is referring to.
The members of the Spirit Team were speechless after being asked this question. After a while, they said:
"I don't have any clues about the other dead..."
Gu Zhisang lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, although this case involves metaphysical supernatural forces, it should be investigated by the police and should not be handed over to the Spirit Team."
"Your minds are clouded and you don't notice the details."
Generally speaking, in order to prevent police officers who are ordinary people and have no ability to protect themselves in metaphysical events from being hit and injured by evil spirits in unnatural events, once it is determined that the incident involves metaphysical factors, it will be handed over to the spirit team for handling to prevent ordinary police officers from being affected.
But this situation also has a disadvantage:
Although the people in the spirit team are capable, they are not professionally trained in criminal investigation and solving cases. In fact, their thinking and sensitivity to clues are far inferior to those of the police.
Once you encounter such a complicated and confusing incident where it is obvious that the other party has a brain and a plan, it will be difficult to resolve.
Gu Zhisang actually didn't understand any of this.
But she has strong enough abilities and a pair of eyes that can detect any evil things in the world. Many things that are normal in the eyes of ordinary masters are loopholes in her eyes.
For example, right now——
Just by looking at the photos of a few dead people, she deduced each person's general life, as well as their good and bad deeds in life from their fate and facial features.
Without exception, all the dead, even Haiming himself, had evil power on their faces!
That is to say, no one is a 100% good person. They have all done things in their lifetime that directly or indirectly harmed others.
And judging from the evil power that covers it, it won’t be too long.
Based on this point alone, Gu Zhisang can reasonably speculate that these people whose deaths were predicted by the "Death Note" were once infected with evil power because of the same person or the same thing.
They didn't die because of Haiming at all, but because of that incident!
Even Hemming himself may have acquired the ability to predict the future because of this. He was also a part of this matter, but it is unknown what role he played.
The members of the spirit group only saw the prophecy posted by Haiming on the Internet, and saw that he and the other two predicted dead were all from Windy City Academy of Fine Arts. Their subconscious mind solidified their thinking, and they have always focused their search direction and attention on Haiming.
After hearing this, the spiritual group leader's thoughts, which had been dull for a long time, finally opened up and gradually became clear.
He was stunned, and after a while he said ashamedly: "Coach Gu, you are right!"
"So what do we do now?"
Gu Zhisang said helplessly: "Professional matters should of course be left to professionals."
Half an hour later, the case was handed back to the Wind City Police Department. The police officers in charge of the case and the spirit team members looked at each other, then rubbed their hands and said:
"Before we transferred the case, we did investigate the social relationships of these people, and we did find some information."
For example, Haiming has a good personal relationship with another full professor.
You have to know that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are minor frictions among various factions in the art world. It just so happens that these two people belong to the same faction, and their relationship is not as bad as the Ling Group thinks.
In addition, An was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts, and the deceased real estate speculator also had some connections with the art circle.
He was not well educated and was a rough and uneducated nouveau riche. After he became rich, he often bought antiques, jades, ancient paintings and oil paintings to show off, and was cheated of a lot of money.
According to his family, he knew many people who sold paintings, and was often dragged to art exhibitions and fooled into buying paintings. His home was full of "waste paper"!
As for more information, before they could continue investigating, the case was handed over to the Spirit Team, so they did not continue to investigate.
Hearing this, the leader of the Spirit Team felt even more ashamed and guilty, "…I'm so sorry, if we had known earlier we wouldn't have interfered and delayed your progress!"
"No way, we are all here to solve this case."
The police officer also waved his hand and said, "But Miss Gu, I'm a little curious, is there really a supernatural factor in this case?"
After all, the police could also feel that these prophecies themselves were abnormal, and that several death cases were full of weirdness.
The police officer continued, "By the way, we have tried to send relevant information to the outside world. It was indeed sent out, but the outside world has no interest in this matter. It's too strange. Could this also be...?"
Gu Zhisang did not deny it: "You guessed right, so we will assist in the investigation."
First, a layer of haze-like mist, invisible to the naked eye, covered the sky above the Windy City.
This sky created by the "black fog" can itself block the transmission of information.
For example, human trafficking is so rampant in Southern Province, but ordinary people far away from Southern Province have never even heard of these things.
The second is the Windy City’s network.
Although no concrete evidence has been found yet, Gu Zhisang could very intuitively feel a sense of blockage and a slight discomfort when he checked the "Revelation Notes" and some related information on the Internet.
That feeling was even more obvious than the comments from the ghosts from the underworld that I saw during the live broadcast of "Spiritual Affairs".
That’s why Gu Zhisang was sure that there was also a problem with Fengcheng’s network.
She even suspected that the "Revelation Notes" was not sent by a human at all.
Gu Zhisang continued, "As long as the police team involved in this case is involved, it is best for them to bring a member of the spirit team with them, just in case."
If something really happens, it can also protect ordinary people who are investigating the case.
The police officer in charge readily agreed.
For those who have always been materialistic, it is a very novel experience to suddenly accept the existence of gods and ghosts and to work with people with special abilities.
But as long as the case can be solved and the truth can be revealed, these are not a problem.
Soon the police officer in charge reallocated the police force, divided the investigation tasks in an orderly and targeted manner, and continued to investigate the case.
The members of the Fengcheng Spirit Group were also not idle. They were divided into small teams to follow the police and assist in the investigation.
As for Gu Zhisang, he went to Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts alone.
She was more interested in the place where An had the accident and wanted to see if she could find any clues there.
After arriving at the Academy of Fine Arts, Gu Zhisang first watched for a while downstairs where An was hit and died on the spot.
Although An's body had been removed long ago, and the bloodstains on the ground at the scene had been repeatedly scrubbed by the school's cleaners, there was no trace of them left;
But Gu Zhisang still sensed a very faint residual yin energy on the ground here.
Under the school's arrangement, she went to the classroom where the plaster had fallen.
As soon as she entered the classroom, her extremely keen senses detected the negative energy in the room and she was drawn to the source.
The walls of the classroom were covered with various abstract and realistic portraits, as well as profile pictures of some famous painters;
The whole classroom is filled with artistic atmosphere and colorful.
Among them, a painting that looked like a whirlpool, emitting gray and black negative energy continuously, was placed on the wall of the classroom.
The painting is signed with the two words "Haiming"!
Gu Zhisang's eyes were gloomy. At this moment, her phone rang. When she answered it, it was the police officer in charge of the investigation.
The other party was very emotional and spoke loudly:
"Ms. Gu, we found some new things!
Did you know that Haiming won first prize in a well-known foreign competition half a year ago?"
Gu Zhisang: "I didn't know before, but now I know."
Not only that, what she was looking at now should be a copy of the winning painting.
The police officer suppressed his emotion and said:
"You may not know that this painting was caught up in a plagiarism controversy at the time, and it caused quite a stir on the Internet!"
The author has something to say:
Monday and Tuesday are full of classes. Tomorrow morning at 8 am, I will finish finishing my paper and go to bed. Good night everyone~!
