Chapter 59 Drowning
[This wishing fountain looks a little familiar.]
[It's more than familiar! Isn't this the wishing fountain that was all the rage a while ago? It's said that this wishing fountain is incredibly effective, and all you have to do is throw in a coin and your wish will come true.]
[Now that I think about it, it was indeed hotpot for a while, but for some reason, there was no news about it all of a sudden.]
Bajie glanced at the comments and nodded, "Everyone is right, this is indeed the wishing well that is said to always work."
"But then a murder occurred, so all news about the wishing well was blocked by the authorities."
Bajie's tone was very serious.
Shi Yu looked carefully at his eyes. Bajie's eyes were very bright. He really liked to study these things. He started the live broadcast because he spent too much time studying the murder case and had no job.
In this way, I want to earn some income, at least to support my hobbies.
In other words, this anchor is a very pure person.
In this day and age, such people are rare.
Shi Yu also nodded. "It seems that you have learned some information. Can you tell me in detail and why you thought of going to my live broadcast room?"
Although there are murders here from time to time.
But the two clearly do not belong to the same track.
Before speaking, Bajie turned his head to look at the wishing well behind him, then found a place a little further away to sit down, "This is a long story."
“I don’t know if the anchor recognizes me, but I’m also an anchor.”
Shi Yu nodded, showing his understanding.
"It happened two months ago. At that time, the wishing fountain was still very popular. A friend of mine who was running a self-media platform but had been tepid told me that he wanted to give it a try."
Bajie rubbed his face and said, "I didn't really believe it, but I didn't hit him hard. But three days later, my friend died."
"Drowning."
Bajie's words caused a huge uproar in the live broadcast room, and some more perceptive netizens reacted immediately.
[Bajie Bajie, the friend you're talking about, could it be Wang Youcheng?!]
【Oh My God! ! ! ! 】
If it really is Wang Youcheng, then I probably know why Bajie came to see Sister Shi.
A kind-hearted netizen saw the confusion in Shi Yu's eyes and kindly sent a link to Shi Yu's live broadcast room. When he clicked on it, a delicate face immediately gave Shi Yu a beauty attack.
It was a video of only a dozen seconds.
The man in the video was shirtless, wearing only a pair of white trousers that were not sure if they were made of silk or silk, and his entire body was immersed in the azure water.
Through the refraction of light and shadow, the face, which was already delicate enough, became even more charming, making people unable to help but take a few more glances.
At first, Shi Yu watched the video and didn't feel anything special.
But the more I looked at it, the more something seemed wrong.
The man in the video seemed to be not breathing at all, and there was a thick and indissoluble aura of death lingering on his face.
Although ordinary people cannot see these deathly auras, the aura on a person will affect his appearance.
In daily life, pregnant women are the most obvious example.
After a woman becomes pregnant, even if it is still early in the pregnancy, her whole body will exude an indescribable but palpable aura of pregnancy.
Some people call it the pregnancy phase.
In fact, the principle is the same between the two.
The man in the video was most likely dead when the video was filmed.
Shi Yu exited the video and looked at Bajie seriously, "What's going on with this video? Who filmed it for him?"
"He was the photographer he hired specially. It was because of shooting this video that Wang Youcheng accidentally drowned and died despite rescue efforts." Bajie sighed.
His eyes were a little confused. "Maybe it's a coincidence. He just made a wish to become famous, and this video went viral. It's a pity that he can't see it anymore..."
Coincidence? There aren't that many coincidences in this world.
But Shi Yu didn't say much, just nodded, "Since you also said it was a coincidence, then why did you come to me?"
Bajie was silent for a while.
"I didn't think about it in that direction originally, but half a month ago when I was live streaming, I went to a murder scene, which was a swimming pool."
"Host, what is the probability of a swimmer drowning in a two-meter-deep pool, surrounded by teammates and a coach?"
"I've concluded that it's very close to zero."
Although Bajie's conclusion was a bit hasty, in the situation he described, the probability of natural drowning was really not high unless it was murder.
I remember Bajie's live broadcast. It was really strange. Bajie even went to look for the deceased's coach, who was about three meters away from the deceased.
[However, regardless of the coach's statement or the surveillance footage, the deceased showed no signs of seeking help, and the official conclusion was suicide.]
Me, me, me! I saw it too! It felt strange at the time. Drowning is also suffocation, right? Or maybe choking on water? I'm not sure, but that kind of death is incredibly painful! Even if it was suicide, there's no way there would be no reaction at all.
[And if I remember correctly, the deceased's child was only a few days old, his family was happy, and his career was on the rise. Why would such a person commit suicide?]
"So, that person also went to the Trevi Fountain?"
Shi Yu asked softly, and Bajie on the other end of the video nodded immediately, "His wife said so."
"The original words were, 'A few days ago, I had a difficult delivery and the doctor said that both me and the baby might not survive. He was so anxious that he even went to the wishing fountain that's been very popular recently.
He said he made a wish, that he would be willing to sacrifice his life to keep my child and me safe, but… now that my child and I have truly survived, he was so cruel, abandoning us and me and leaving us alone.
Shi Yu lowered his eyes, "Besides these two, is there anyone else?"
"have!"
Bajie pulled out a notebook from his inner pocket. "Last October, a female student from Ivy League University went to the wishing pond and made a wish, hoping that the boy she liked would like her back. On the same day, she received a confession of love from the boy she liked. However, the next day, while on a date, she accidentally fell into the school's lotus pond and drowned."
"In March of this year, an engineer from a software company brought his wife and daughter on a trip here, wishing he could find a better job by switching jobs. Two days later, the engineer was spotted by a headhunter and was offered a high-paying job."
"Ten days later, while the engineer was bathing at home, a hair dryer accidentally fell into the bathtub and leaked electricity. The engineer was electrocuted and drowned at home."
Bajie clenched the notebook tightly, "These are just what I could find, but I firmly believe that there must be more!"
