Gu Zhisang stared at the replica of the painting on the wall, a little surprised:
“Who did he plagiarize from?”
Not to mention the strange gray-black gloomy aura that constantly overflows from this painting, just looking at the painting itself, even an old antique like Gu Zhisang, who lived thousands of years ago and can only appreciate landscape paintings and fine brushwork, has a feeling for beautiful things that comes from the bottom of his heart:
This painting is very good.
The rich and gorgeous colors are clearly bright, but when they are blended and overlapped together, there is an inexplicable feeling of heaviness and thickness.
The emotions that the painter wants to convey are vividly displayed through a pen, a piece of paper and a canvas;
Especially for people like Gu Zhisang who are extremely sensitive to emotions and power, it can enable them to fully empathize with the painter.
The separate line of introduction below the painting contains a reduced color photo of Haiming, his personal profile, and the international award that this painting won not long ago:
“Haiming, a well-known outstanding painter and art educator in the Windy City, serves as a member of the presidium of the Xiaguo Federation of Literature and Art, and has won one of the highest awards in the world for painting in 2x22. He is good at abstract paintings and oil paintings with bright and vivid colors and intense emotions;
He is a senior professor and dean of the Oil Painting Department of our school. "
"The winning work "Whirlpool"
This painting is indeed like its name, like a black hole that constantly attracts people's attention.
Even if it is placed among the walls covered with paintings, people can't help but look at it as soon as they enter the classroom.
The police officer on the other end of the phone said, "It's not that he plagiarized others, but that others plagiarized him... No, it should be said that it was this disciple of Haiming who suddenly jumped out when Haiming used "Vortex" to select the highest award in world painting half a year ago, and accused Haiming of plagiarizing his painting and stealing his artistic crystallization."
According to the police investigation results, this incident caused a huge stir in the Xia country's art circle at that time.
It is eye-catching in itself that a student accused a teacher of plagiarism, not to mention that the painting had already been shortlisted for the World Painting Competition at the time and was a popular work with an excellent reputation and a high chance of winning an award!
You should know that the award that "Vortex" was selected for is of extremely high quality.
To be shortlisted means you have already entered the ranks of 'Masters'.
The number of painters who have won awards in Xia Country can be counted on one hand. Without exception, they have all become the most famous artists in Xia Country, and their paintings are worth a fortune.
Therefore, the entire art community in Xiaguo is paying attention to the selection of "Whirlpool".
Such a dramatic "scandal" occurred at a critical moment, and naturally the attention it attracted increased.
Teachers and students from major art academies spoke out one after another, causing this matter to become a hot topic on the Internet, and even netizens outside the circle were following suit.
This "farce" ended very quickly. Within two days, Haiming quickly produced the original painting and its scanned copy as evidence to prove that he was the author of "Whirlpool".
After the 'truth came out' the whole network was in an uproar.
The student who accused him was denounced by the entire art community in Xia Country and all his secrets were exposed.
Even netizens on the Internet scolded him for being shameless and slandering his mentor, and for doing such a despicable thing when his mentor was winning glory for the country.
Because the insults were so harsh at the time, related news could be seen on various news platforms and forums, and the police officers also knew something about the matter.
Following the hot search terms, I clicked on the account of the student who accused Haiming by real name. There were hundreds of thousands of comments insulting and cursing him, and there were also many people in the square who photoshopped his posthumous photo.
Later, as "Whirlpool" won the award, Haiming's reputation at home and abroad also rose thanks to this painting and this award.
The price of his paintings soared from tens of thousands of yuan each to six figures or even seven figures.
Especially this painting "Vortex", which was praised by his friends in the art world as a masterpiece since the new century. The original painting would cost at least tens of millions to auction.
Gu Zhisang's soul has only been in this world for a short time.
Haiming won the award when she just appeared on "Spiritual Matters" and was broadcasting her first show live.
When her name appeared on the hot searches, several entries above and below were related to this incident. No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity when she first heard and saw the name Haiming.
The police officer said: "I remember that after Haiming won the award, he accepted several interviews and some variety shows to respond to this matter. For this reason, the student was dragged out again more than a month later and severely criticized..."
Then the heat of this incident gradually died down and faded from the sight of most netizens, and they didn’t know what happened next.
After investigating several people who died in "Death Note" and Haiming's social relationships, the police finally found out about this past event and this young man who was caught up in a plagiarism report storm.
The police officer in charge then discovered that the student was dead.
"Dead?" Gu Zhisang frowned.
"That's right..." The police officer nodded, his tone complicated and regretful, and continued:
"We found out that the young man's surname was He, and he changed his name to He Zhaosheng when he was in high school.
His hometown is a village under Fengcheng, a few dozen kilometers away from the city. Three months ago, he committed suicide at home. His death was... rather tragic. He hanged himself at home. It was not until three days later that a neighbor who smelled the rotting body found him and called the police.
"The case was taken over and filed by the county police station, which is one level above the village. After multiple investigations and evidence collection, it was confirmed that He Zhaosheng had indeed committed suicide, and then the case was closed and filed."
Judging from the results of the police investigation, He Zhaosheng's short first half of his life can be regarded as an inspirational young genius.
He showed amazing talent for painting since he was a child.
Without any basic knowledge, one can still draw well just by copying from picture books.
The village where He Zhaosheng lives is one of the few impoverished areas in Fengcheng. It is as remote and backward as Tianyun Village. Therefore, his family has been poor since he was a child and he has no money to attend painting classes.
Because of his personal interest, He Zhaosheng started saving money to buy picture books with pictures since primary school, and collected and copied them himself;
For the past ten years or so, he had eaten snacks only a few times.
The superhuman perseverance and enthusiasm result in painting skills that are no less than those of children who have learned painting.
When it came time to divide students into arts, science, arts and physical education classes in the second year of high school, although He Zhaosheng was at the top of his class in academic subjects, he was still attracted by the promotional posters for the art class and attended a few trial classes.
After just a few days of learning sketching and the basics, he was able to draw quite well. Even the teacher in charge was amazed. He decided that he was a very talented student and persuaded him to study art.
After much hesitation, He Zhaosheng finally decided to pursue his dream and told his family about his desire to study art.
He comes from a single-parent family. His mother died in a car accident when he was in elementary school. He only lives with his father who works as a delivery man.
He's father, who had always known his son's dream, smoked silently all night and finally agreed to this matter.
He took out the compensation money his wife received from the car accident and said:
"You choose your own path. Our family only has so much money. I originally thought that I would save some money in the next few years, and then I could pay the down payment for your house when you get married."
'As long as you don't regret it.'
In the end, He Zhaosheng studied fine arts. He spent the least and most stingy money among all the students in the art class, but his works always won first place in the competition.
Even when everyone went out for training, he was reluctant to spend tens of thousands of dollars to train outside for more than ten days, so he chose not to go.
Even so, he still got into Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts, one of the four major art academies in Xia Country, with excellent academic and professional scores in the college entrance examination, and became a genius and a big shot who was talked about by word of mouth in their county school.
After entering university, He Zhaosheng's painting skills improved rapidly and he was also among the best in the entire department.
During this period, he continued to earn extra money by taking orders for imitations of various famous paintings;
By his sophomore and junior years, he was able to take on some custom paintings.
It’s just that the art world values ‘fame’.
A famous painter's painting costs tens of thousands of yuan.
An unknown low-level painter would work very hard for several days and earn only three or two hundred yuan for a painting at most.
He Zhaosheng didn't know anything about marketing and could only concentrate on painting, but the long-term side income still allowed him to reduce the burden on his family and also saved him a small amount of money.
Due to his outstanding professional performance, he decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination in his junior year and chose Haiming, who was not yet famous at the time, as his supervisor.
During Haiming's interview, he was also asked questions about He Zhaosheng.
In the interview clip, he himself readily admitted that He Zhaosheng was a very talented young man. After establishing a teacher-student relationship, he valued his talent and gave him more guidance and care. At that time, the two of them got along very well.
If this child hadn't been so depressed and taken a detour, his future would have been bright.
From villages to universities.
From the loess to the art palace.
For He Zhaosheng, everything should have continued to develop in a good direction;
Who could have thought that within less than a year after becoming Haiming's student, his life, future and reputation would all be ruined.
Hearing this, Gu Zhisang lowered his eyes slightly.
When she looked at "Whirlpool" hanging on the wall again, she was basically able to confirm that the owner of this painting was indeed not Haiming.
It should be the young student who has passed away: He Zhaosheng.
She had seen Haiming's photo.
Judging from his facial features alone, this is not a person with a kind heart.
There is a saying in physiognomy: People with narrow foreheads are greedy.
海明的额头单看并不小,反而因头顶两边有些秃顶显得很阔,但看面相主要看的是面宫和各个穴点;
实际上他‘辅骨’短缩额中窄平、是为心贪。
这样的‘贪相’在‘官禄宫’显化,说明他会因为他的贪心、而做出一些不中正不清明的事情,增加了非法获得的偏财偏运,反使‘官禄宫’乍一看形同饱满。
其次海明面阔多肉,遇人就笑,一副好脾气的样子;
偏生他一笑山根有横纹。
这种眉间山根处的横纹,在‘相’术中也称为‘笑面虎’。
拥有这种纹路的人往往佛口蛇心,表面和善总带着一张笑脸,实际上喜欢背后耍阴招。
再加上此人生辰八字也被顾之桑成功推演。
通过八字十神和‘命盘斗数’来看,顾之桑更确定一点:
海明这个人仅凭他本身的能力,根本获得不了现在这种国际大奖!
他‘金星庙弱’,说明审美和艺术鉴赏水平都是凡偶近器、难得大成。
除此之外从推演紫微斗数的结果可知,海明文曲星、杀破狼、太阴星……等几个象征着感性、艺术的星宿,都没能落入星盘。
几个星宿最多也只是贴着‘年柱’‘月柱’,同样也足以说明他有水平,但不高。
当个匠气雕琢的画家绰绰有余,但画出情绪饱满、画面丰富到可以获得世界级大奖的画作,远远未及!
就是拥有这样平庸面相的海明,如今‘官禄宫’、‘财帛宫’都带着不正常的红润,说明他已经获得了非凡的名利——世界最高绘画奖的得者。
只是手段不正常!
再结合半年前的抄袭指控风波,以及贺照生的生平、和画作中蕴含的强烈而痛苦绝望的情绪来看,恐怕网友们是真的搞错了。
贺照生是无辜的。
他是真正的天才。
海明的确窃取了他的灵感和结晶,是个卑劣的抄袭者,赢得了鲜花赞美、毁了一个天才画师的人生。
思及此处顾之桑心中不愉,又问道:
“贺照生为什么自杀?他怎么死的?”
他指证海明抄袭是半年多前,但自杀的时间是三个多月前。
以海明得奖的时间来看,距离贺照生自杀中间也有两个月左右的空档,这件事早就发酵完毕、尘埃落定了。
按理说贺照生被骂得最狠的时候,应该是他刚被海明反锤、以及《漩涡》得奖这两个时间段。
从顾之桑的灵魂刚穿到这个世界时,原身被全网黑的情况来看,这个世界的网友的情绪是很浮躁的。
容易被挑动洗脑,会因为一丁点小事而撕逼吵架。
当时她还没有做出有违公序良俗的实际事情,只是各种真真假假的黑料,就被全网群嘲。
可想而知那时的贺照生,一身污名,又遭受了怎样的网络暴力和辱骂。
如果贺照生因为此事想死,早在那个时候就会自杀了,而不会等到已被骂了两三个月后,才悄无声息死在了家中。
顾之桑觉得这其中还有隐情。
果不其然,电话那头的警员又是一声哀叹:“说来这个贺照生是真惨,他自杀应该是因为他爸爸的死。”
原来贺照生的父亲在大半年前送外卖时,雨天路滑,不小心撞到了疾行的轿车,伤势惨烈当晚就被推进医院抢救。
虽然抢救后命保住了,但他骨骼和内脏的伤势,需要住院养伤,每天的医药费、仪器费等等价格不菲。
据贺照生在网上实名指控的博文说,他创作《漩涡》的契机,就是父亲暂时脱离生命危险之后。
喜悦之情让画作笔触鲜艳;
可与此同时他心底的担忧、以及对生活重担的压力忧愁,种种情绪交织下,他灵感迸发,在学校的教学楼的画室中画出了这幅作品。
完成画作后,医院方正好打来了电话,说他父亲苏醒了。
贺照生来不及把东西放回宿舍,恰巧画师旁边就是导师海明的办公室;
他匆匆将东西放好、把画作卷起插入背包的侧面,一起送到了导师那里,请求暂放一段时间。
当时就在办公室的海明欣然同意,还给他批了请假条。
然而一天后,贺照生去医院看望完苏醒的父亲,再回学校,他画完的画就消失了。
帮他把东西顺手从办公室拿回宿舍的室友表示,自己拿到包的时候根本没看到什么画,包他们也没打开过。
贺照生去问了海明,海明也满脸无辜,表示自己不清楚。
他昨日呆的画室,今天也有班级去上了课、被打扫过了,里面没有任何东西。
找了整整一天、甚至去翻了垃圾桶的贺照生怅然所失,甚至情绪崩溃到痛哭。
因为他知道,那晚玄而又玄、蓬勃迸发的灵感是多么珍贵,他很可能这辈子都再画不出那样的作品。
沉寂了一段时间,贺照生不得不振作起来、接受现实,继续挣钱给父亲治病。
他也知道世绘奖开始评选,但他没有心情和精力准备,只把自己以前的作品发送给了评选组。
月余之后,就在父亲的情况渐渐好转时,世绘奖初选、二轮评选结果公布。
贺照生送去的评选作品成功通过初选,但也止步于初选。
入围世界奖项的名声,对于一个还在上大学的年轻学生来说,是很不得了的荣耀。
一时间他的老师们、同学们纷纷给他发消息祝福,说他在夏国美术界也算小小出名了,许多业内人士都关注到他了。
这本该是一件值得高兴、庆祝的事情,但看到二轮评选结果,看到最终入围世绘终选赛的某副格外眼熟的画作、以及绘者的名字,贺照生如遭雷击!
海明,作品《漩涡》
巨大的打击、以及满心的不可置信,让贺照生又惊又怒、手脚发凉。
他莫名丢失的画作,为什么会出现在世绘奖的评选作品中。
绘画署名还是他的导师?!
所以他的画根本就不是室友在拿包过程中弄丢了,也不是他自己不小心放在画室、被别人当垃圾清理掉了;
而是被他的指导老师海明,给偷了!
愤怒而痛苦的贺照生怎么接受得了。
他试图去找海明质问、理论,但海明被艺联组织邀请走了。
他给海明疯狂打电话、发信息,不是忙线就是对方装傻充愣的敷衍。
至此贺照生才明白,海明是故意躲着他的。
由于《漩涡》入围终奖,全校、乃至网上各个论坛都在讨论这件事,并赞美海明。
他无论是走在路上,还是打开手机,都会看到这些消息。
可那些荣誉本该属于自己。
贺照生眼看着海明的身价、名气水涨船高,踩着他的心血功成名就;
可自己的父亲身患重病,为了省钱只能住人数最多的病房、连止痛药都不愿意吃每天强忍着痛苦。
最后他毅然决定举报海明。
他以为自己真诚推理前因后果,并写明自己的创作心得、原因,又拿出了自己之前作品进行风格上的分析……只要有足够多的证据,就可以拿回自己的作品,以及本该属于自己的荣耀。
但事实结果,却狠狠删了贺照生一个巴掌。
海明不仅没有被制裁、抵制,反而是他自己成了万人唾骂的过街老鼠。
名声受污只是次要的。
更让贺照生无法接受、感到崩溃的是,网上的很多喷子、网友把他的家庭信息都扒了出来。
包括他父亲的住院地址。
连累了父亲。
在贺照生还不知道自己丢失的作品、是被导师海明偷窃之时,海明曾找到他,主动提出借他一笔钱给父亲看病。
那时他满心感激,将主动伸出援手的海明视为再生父母、救命恩人。
现如今这笔钱,也成了他是个白眼狼儿、坏种的证据。
海明公开表示自己愿意原谅贺照生,说自己知道,这个学生其实是个好孩子;
他之所以走弯路,是走投无路没钱给父亲看病,想要贪那笔获奖费用。
为着师徒一场,海明说自己愿意把获奖的奖金也拿出来,给贺照生的父亲治病,希望能够挽救一个误入歧途的孩子。
声名发布后,有多少人称颂海明心地善良重情重义,就有更多的人网暴、辱骂贺照生。
顾之桑打开手机,搜索到了贺照生的账号信息。
点进去之后,他靠前的几条博文都是半年多前发布的了。
其中那条举报海明的博文他一直没有删,下面的评论已经超过百万条。
点进去后,顶上是各种辱骂他猪狗不如的言语侮辱。
稍微往下翻一翻,就看到有网友发布了他的个人信息,还有他父亲的信息。
【这个贺照生也真敢编瞎话啊,22岁学生,没见过啥世面的农村孩子得世绘奖……这得是什么绝世天才啊?槽多无口。
不是咱瞧不起乡下孩子,农村出身的也有很多朴实善良的好孩子,但像这种败坏师名、忘恩负义的白眼狼就该被唾沫星子淹死!】
【给父亲治病不是你道德败坏的理由!就你这样的人还给自己取‘初日迎照,生生不息’的寓意,真的不配!以后都避雷了(吐)】
【你爹活该被车撞/死。】
【呼吁风城美院开除这种品行不端、道德败坏的学生!】
【想要医疗费就能害老师了?现在好了你也出名了,不会有人再买你的画了,你父亲如果死了也是你害的。】
【……】
无数谩骂声、正义的指责,尽数倾斜在贺照生的身上。
还有当地人找到了贺父所住的医院,混到门口大骂他儿子是个畜生、诅咒他去死……
贺照生得到消息的时候,本就还没养好伤的贺父为了和那些人理论争执,被气得突发心梗,当天就没抢救过来,去世了。
彻底崩溃、陷入疯狂的青年嘶吼着,恨不得把那些闹事的人全部捅死,可他被拦住、被安抚。
如行尸走肉般处理好父亲遗体的贺照生彻底没有了挂念,他带着无与伦比的恨意,走上了死亡的道路。
在警方和顾之桑可以搜索到的信息中,网上只有当地的一家小网站报导了贺父的死亡,下面评论都是说‘活该’的。
反倒是悄无声息自杀的贺照生,死亡被大肆宣扬。
但各个营销号、新闻网下方,大抵都是辱骂他、说他‘死得好’的人。
少有个别人表达对于一个天才画家误入歧途的遗憾的路人,也会被指责、打歪成想洗白贺照生的无脑之人。
一场无人知道真相的狂欢落寂。
一对无辜父子为此付出生命。
数月之后,网上忽然冒出了一则《启示笔记》,上面预言了和贺照生有千丝万缕关系的几个人,无一例外都已死去。
顾之桑抬手将墙上的画作拍了下来,对电话另一头的警员说道:
“大概情况明白了,我这边也有了点发现,警署会和吧。”
约莫半小时后
几乎是同时抵达了警署的负责警员、以及顾之桑,召集了其他查案的成员,开了小会议。
会议室里的小黑板上,贴了几个亡者的照片、死因、以及和贺照生之间的关系。
警员说道:“根据目前已有的信息,我们查到了一位名叫贺照生——也就是三个月前去世的青年男大学生身上。”
“所有被记录在《启示笔记》上的死亡人员,都和他的死有间接关系。”
一号死者安某,是贺照生的室友;
他就是那个帮贺照生从办公室带走了背包,回宿舍的室友。
也是整起事件中第一个跳出来反驳、背刺贺照生的人,是获利者之一。
负责人警员指了指安某的照片,道:
“贺照生的博文写到,安某告诉他,自己进入海明办公室时看到了那副画是和他的背包放在一起的;
可博文发出后,安某直接在校园群说贺照生撒谎,自己从未说过这话,也没看到过什么画。”
“如果贺照生说的是真话,安某撒谎的动机也很明确,为了保研。”
原先贺照生在专业中成绩稳居前三,已经确定在保研名单中了。
此事之后,他的保研名额直接被掳,变成了安某。
安某死前已是风城美院研一的学生。
二号死者公关公司职员,已查到他在事情发酵后,发动了手底下的数个营销号大V以及六位数的水军,一起辱骂贺照生,并放各种虚假的黑料引导网友情绪。
可以说舆论风向这么快一边倒,变成全网唾骂,这个水军头子‘功不可没’。
现在看来,这些营销号无利不起早,会这么大手笔地黑一个娱乐圈、影视圈之外的学生,应该是被人花钱指使的。
此人被发现时,猝死在电脑桌前,死不瞑目。
三号死者风城美院的一级教授,不仅是一号死者安某的导师,也是指控案中的关键人物。
据悉他也是贺照生的某学科老师,贺照生帮他处理过很多次杂事。
在贺照生的博文中写到,自己发现画作被偷后,某次契机和这位老师取得联系;
这位老师也确切表明,《漩涡》根本就不是海明擅长的风格类型,也相信他的举报,愿意为他向上举证、寻求夏国艺联会的调查和帮助。
但博文发出后,这位老师也发了帖子,肃声呵斥贺照生‘厚颜无耻’,说自己从未说过这些话。
他表示自己相信海明的人品,还说贺照生这个人在学校里就‘独’,是个难管的学生。
最终此人一家四口,于风城跨江大桥惨死。
四号死者炒房客,在贺照生出事前曾和他订过十幅画的订单。
事出之后他并没有说要取消订单,让贺照生继续画,却在贺照生没日没夜、花费了半个多月画完所有单子,要提交获取大额尾款时,临时反悔要退单。
他让保安把愤怒不已的贺照生丢出公司,还说自己不会用一个品行恶劣、被美术界封杀的人的画,说自己没让贺照生赔偿、退还定金,已经很仁至义尽了。
最后炒房客于数日前,在自家楼盘顶上一跃而下,砸成烂泥。
至今那楼盘都因成了凶楼卖不出去。
听完这圈人的关系,调查人员们的三观都被刷新了,“贺照生这是……被涮了吧?”
“如果真相如此那这个小伙子真的太惨了!”
一直没有说话的顾之桑闻言抬头,肯定了他们的推测正确。
贺照生就是被耍了。
准确的说,他的前途、才华、学业,都被当成了分赃的筹码,被这些人分食了。
海明得到了无上的功名利禄,安某保研,水军头子拿钱,炒房客被海明许诺可以接触更有名气的画家,正教授有了个研究生学生还能和名声大噪的海明保持良好私交……
甚至于贺照生自以为地寻找正义,也是这些人在取乐,在戏鼠。
他们嘴上说着会帮助贺照生、会指控海明,看着青年为了谋求一个真相殊死拼搏、拼上所有,转过头来又背刺他。
直至将贺家父子逼死。
在顾之桑看来,他们死有余辜。
现场的气氛沉重,每个人心中都沉甸甸的,有些难受。
“打起精神继续查,给贺照生一个真相、洗刷他的污名才是最好的结果。”
圈完所有人后,负责人警员又在打了问号的第五人上,画了个圆圈:
“唯一有疑点的第五名死者,目前还不清楚是谁。”
这时顾之桑缓声开口道:“应该是风城美院的校长。”
警员们/灵组成员:?!!
“顾指导你怎么知道的?!确定吗?”
“确定。”顾之桑按压了下眉心,“从面相上看的。”
她回看了半年前抄袭风波的所有细节、以及涉及其中的人物,发现除了死掉的四人以及海明本人之外,还有一个人会被贺照生记恨;
就是风城美院的老校长。
此人年龄颇大临近退休,在夏国美术界也颇有地位,更重要的是他是海明以前的老师。
就是他举荐了海明,让海明于今年十月——也就是一个月前,加入了夏国艺联会的主席团。
也是此人在事发之后,义正言辞地以校方名义,公示贺照生品行不端、处以退学处理。
又由于他在夏国美术界的地位,业内人士心里都清楚,贺照生在夏国美术界算是名声臭了、被封杀了;
他已成了人人喊打的过街老鼠,绝无翻身的可能。
这位校长就是海明的老师,心里应该很清楚海明的水平、风格,清楚到底什么才是真相。
可他还是为了学校和自己的利益,选择了装瞎。
不仅如此,还要把贺照生彻底踩死。
如果顾之桑是贺照生,不可能不恨这个老东西。
而她在网上查到了此人的照片后,的确也已感应不到此人的生机了。
这老校长已经死了。
负责人警员和校方确认了一下,确定这位老校长的确有小半个月没来学校了。
他因家里的事情请了个长假。
据说这位校长的妻子得了比较严重的病,最近情况不太好。
在此之前他给远在外地的儿女、以及学校里的同事都说过,如果妻子情况恶化了,就抽空带她出去走走转转。
这十来天里,老校长带妻子出去旅了一趟游,经常在朋友圈发各种风景照、背影图。
拿到图片只看了一眼,顾之桑便说:
“照片是真的,但里面拍摄的人不是他。”
调查人员们面面相觑。
半小时后,出警的队伍来到了老校长的小区,到达所在楼道时,他们和在楼道口聊天的邻居询问了两句。
邻居们也说,老校长夫妻二人准备去度假,已经十来天没回来了。
到达相应楼层后,电梯门刚一打开,顾之桑就闻到了一股子淡淡的腥臭气味,像某种海产、或肉类腐烂的味道。
尽管已用阵法遮掩过,常人是闻不见的,可她还是很敏锐地察觉到了。
当即她对旁边的人微微颔首,其余人了然,也都神色紧张。
老校长所居住的是个旧居民楼。
门是两层。
外面防盗铁门,里面是木门。
Even through a tightly closed door, a steady stream of negative energy and corpse energy still continued to overflow from the crack in the door.
Gu Zhisang's expression was slightly gloomy, and she calmly took out a few talismans. She raised her hand and the yellow talisman paper moved without wind and stuck to the iron door to form a hexagon.
The light on the talisman flashed and then dimmed.
This magical scene made the surrounding police officers open their eyes wide, and they felt that their worldview was shocked.
This is a simple "evil-suppressing formation".
Gu Zhisang was basically certain that there was a ghost in the room.
In order to prevent the door from alerting the enemy and preventing the ghost from escaping through the cracks in the door and window, she set up a formation in advance to cover the entire house, eliminating the chance of the ghost escaping.
After setting up the formation, she flicked her fingertips and a strong 'qi' hit the door lock, breaking two locked outer doors without making any sound.
She kicked the door open, and a thick evil aura overflowed from it, spreading outwards like mist.
Seeing this, Gu Zhisang's expression became stern, and he uttered Taoist maxims, which directly broke the illusion set up in the house.
What surprised her was that the ghost in the house had average abilities and its formation was very weak.
It couldn't stop her for a single round, and it was torn apart like a fragile paper, and the house gradually revealed its original appearance.
The disgusting stench of corpses that had been covered up by the Yin energy of the formation also spread out all over the place.
Everyone who saw the condition of the house was shocked.
There were only two rotting corpses in the room!
Sensing the evil spirits still surging and fleeing in the house, Gu Zhisang looked coldly, picked up a white chess piece imbued with Taoist power, and struck accurately in the direction of the evil spirits' movement.
There was a loud bang, and the chess piece fell on the display screen on the computer desk, directly blowing it up!
She walked quickly to the broken display screen which had been lit just now but now had only a few flickering blue spots. Feeling the strong evil aura on it, her expression became even colder.
"What was used to hang He Zhaosheng?" she turned her head and asked.
The person in charge was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems to be using the home network cable..."
Gu Zhisang exhaled, "No wonder."
The spirit team member came closer and asked, "What's wrong, Coach Gu? Was that a formation set up by a ghost just now?"
"Yeah, but give it a run."
Gu Zhisang narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't expect this was a ghost with a 'medium'. I made a mistake."
The so-called "medium" of ghosts is some kind of object that they can travel through temporarily.
For example, the medium through which water ghosts travel and communicate is "water". As long as they are in rivers or pools, they can swim around and drag humans who have fallen into the water to the center of the lake to drown them and use them as scapegoats.
The same is true of the horror legend of a certain island country, in which there is a ghost called "Sadako" that can crawl out of the TV.
Generally speaking, ghosts with 'mediums' are very rare, and the opportunity for their formation is rare.
But the evil spirit that just hid in the house and escaped was this kind of ghost.
It uses the network cable as a hanging tool, so the network cable becomes its 'medium'.
Or rather the Internet!
Any device connected to the Internet can be its hiding place.
In this case, the formation that Gu Zhisang had set up outside the house was indeed useless. The other party escaped through the computer in the house, and his speed was too fast to be caught by ordinary people or ordinary ghost-catching methods.
It was also the first time that the members of the spirit group heard that the Internet could also be a channel for ghosts to communicate. They were both surprised and shocked for a moment.
One of them slapped his head and said, "That's it. There are more than one billion people in Xia Country, and each person has at least one electronic device on average. Now that the Internet is so popular, won't we be able to catch the ghost of He Zhaosheng?"
They are all living people, we can’t all hide in the Internet!
Gu Zhisang sighed and said, "Don't worry about whether we can catch it or not. Let's go find Haiming right now. If it's any later, we'll probably only see a corpse."
For He Zhaosheng, the culprit who caused his family to be broken up and his reputation to be ruined was Hai Ming.
If it hates those who fanned the flames, then the person it hates even more is probably Haiming.
The reason why Haiming is still alive is probably that it is still planning some form of revenge, intending to keep Haiming until the end and tease him just as it teased itself in the past.
We can also see something from the fact that Haiming suddenly gained the ability to predict the future.
Now that the police and the spiritual group's master have suddenly come to the door, it means that its identity is likely to have been exposed.
According to He Zhaosheng's plan, it would never let Haiming go, and it should have crawled along the Internet to Haiming's home.
The investigators who had figured it out also became nervous.
The person in charge took a look at the foul-smelling house with maggots crawling all over the floor, as well as the dead body in the house, and said loudly while suppressing his discomfort:
"Teams one and two stay behind to investigate, the Trace Inspection Department will investigate the scene, and the rest of you will follow us to Haiming's house immediately!"
