"Holding the teacup, I thought for a long time until I saw the figure reflected in the teacup."
“When I face the teacup, the reflection in the teacup also faces me.”
"It suddenly occurred to me that when I turned around to look at the mirror just now, the me in the mirror didn't turn my head? He was facing me, as if..."
Jia Ming was speechless, as if someone was pinching his neck. There was fear in his eyes. "A chill came from behind me. The sofa in the living room was facing the bathroom. I could feel something behind me! It was like someone was standing there!"
"I didn't dare to look back. I turned the teacup and looked down. I wanted to see what was behind me through the teacup."
"I turned the cup a little bit, and the cool air behind me was slowly approaching. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. When I was about to see what was behind me, the exposed skin on my neck felt a little numb, as if hair was falling on my neck."
"My arms were shaking and I couldn't control them. The cup fell to the ground and the coffee inside splattered everywhere."
"I yelled loudly, grabbed the ashtray and fruit plate on the coffee table and threw them behind me, then rushed to the door desperately."
"With both hands on the door lock, I looked back inside the room. There was nothing in the room. The only difference was that the TV signal was interfered with. There was no image, only a flashing blue and white background."
"It was so quiet that the only sound I could hear was the crackling sound coming from the TV."
"I didn't dare stay in the room for long and wanted to run out, but when I thought about the boy with his head and legs bent at an incredible angle that I had seen in the corridor, I backed off. I was afraid that he was outside the door at that moment."
"The hallway was not safe. I didn't know what to do. I froze at the door."
"While I was hesitating, the images on the TV screen flickered faster and faster. I vaguely discovered that between the flickering images, a woman's face was slowly becoming clearer!"
"I didn't dare to stay any longer, I opened the door and ran out."
"Without looking around, I rushed to the street in one breath, but the dim street still couldn't give me a sense of security. I ran forward desperately like a madman, and finally sat in the middle of the road, illuminated by the surrounding street lights, and then I stopped."
After saying this, Jia Ming's forehead and back were soaked with cold sweat, and the audience present all looked unnatural.
The tone of Jia Ming's voice, coupled with his panic-stricken and terrified expression, made the people around him feel as if they were actually there.
The policewoman's hand holding the pen became noticeably stronger. Li Zheng glanced at Chen Ge and said, "Did you hear anything? Before Dr. Gao disappeared, he told me that you are also proficient in psychology. In his eyes, are ghosts the embodiment of something?"
"His story is very interesting. I can analyze it briefly first." Chen Ge stood up and sat next to the bed: "Jia Ming said at the beginning that he saw someone in Jiang Long's villa threatening Jiang Long with a knife, forcing Jiang Long to do something that made him very painful. And he said with certainty that the person looked exactly like me."
"After discovering this, he fled back to his home. When entering the corridor, the old lady said to him, 'Walk lightly.' That is to say, the old lady saw that there was more than one Jia Ming in the corridor, and that person was very close to Jia Ming! Close enough for the old lady to misunderstand and think that the person behind Jia Ming was with Jia Ming." Chen Ge smiled and looked at Jia Ming: "If he is telling the truth, then from that time on, something has been following him, and this thing is very likely to be the bad guy he saw in the villa, the 'me' who threatened Jiang Long with a knife. Let's not talk about how difficult it is to follow him quietly, nor how 'I' deceived him, but was discovered by an old man. Assuming all this is true, continue to analyze."
"Then he ran to his home on the second floor. When he opened the door, he saw a pair of feet and a child's head at the corner of the third floor. The location where the child appeared is worth pondering. It was on the third floor."
"Jia Ming himself said that the old lady's son and his family of three had a car accident, and the third floor was prepared for the deceased, and he wanted to leave a memory."
"Let me make a bold guess. The child on the third floor is the old lady's grandson, the child who died in the car accident. But this is strange. Jia Ming has lived with the old lady for so long and has never seen a ghost. Why did he see a ghost that night?"
Chen Ge was analyzing the situation very seriously, but to Li Zheng and the policewoman, it looked more like a lunatic in a mental hospital counseling another lunatic.
"The answer is simple. The child ghost also saw the person behind Jia Ming. Note the posture of the child when he appeared. He was standing at the corner of the stairs with his head stretched down, as if he was peeking. This shows that the person behind Jia Ming may be much more terrifying than him." Chen Ge smiled and said, "This is the first time I've heard of a person being able to scare a ghost."
"After entering the room, there is another detail. When Jia Ming realized that the person in the mirror was moving in the opposite direction to him, he felt something coming from behind him. When he turned the teacup to see who was behind him, his neck seemed to be touched by hair." Chen Ge paused: "This is very important. 'I' have short hair, and most men have short hair. When he lowered his head, it was impossible for his hair to fall on his neck. This means that the person standing behind him was a woman, or it would be better to describe her as a female ghost."
"Later, when he was about to escape from the room, he saw something wrong with the TV. The image on the screen began to flicker, and a woman's face vaguely appeared. This can also indirectly prove that even if there is a ghost in the house, it is a female ghost. Combined with what was said before, the true identity of this female ghost may be the old lady's daughter-in-law who died in a car accident."
"In Jia Ming's story, two ghosts appeared, and they were both related to the story the old lady told him. The reason for this is probably because Jia Ming did something that night and was under tremendous psychological pressure, which led to him constantly giving himself certain psychological hints, causing hallucinations and imagining the ghosts in the story." Chen Ge then used some professional terms he learned from Dr. Gao, occasionally interspersed with a few English words. He himself did not understand what they meant, but when he said it, it gave people a very professional feeling.
After his explanation, Li Zheng and the policewoman looked relieved and nodded continuously. Rather than believing in ghosts, they were more inclined to believe that Jia Ming was crazy.
After successfully clearing himself of suspicion, Chen Ge looked at Jia Ming calmly. Perhaps his eyes reminded Jia Ming of something terrible, or perhaps Jia Ming realized the danger, his body suddenly twitched and he fainted very suddenly on the bed.
"I didn't touch him." Chen Ge raised his hands and stood beside the ward, watching the doctors and nurses busy in and out, and he slowly clenched his hands.
There were some things he didn't tell the police. In fact, he felt that Jia Ming should not have lied.
The person who looks like Chen Ge should be Shadow. As for why he looks like Chen Ge, he himself doesn't know.
What Jia Ming said later was probably true. The shadow followed him back to his rented place and was seen by the old lady, which alarmed the ghost living on the third floor of the old lady's house.
The child ghost is the old lady's grandson, the female ghost is the old lady's daughter-in-law, and there should be a male ghost in the house who has not been killed by Jia Ming.
"The shadow followed Jia Ming back home. The three ghosts were protecting him. Unfortunately, the power gap was too big. The ghosts could only use their own methods to remind him and make him aware of the danger." Chen Ge knew that there was a high probability that Jia Ming was not lying, but he would still go to muddy the water because he had no way of being sure whether the shadow was still on Jia Ming.
Shadow is very cunning, and it is possible that Shadow is trying to use the police to set a trap.
"It's not difficult to prove whether what Jia Ming said is true or false." Chen Ge called Li Zheng outside the ward, found out the location of the old lady that Jia Ming mentioned, and then left the hospital directly, ready to go and ask in person.
He wanted to know what the old lady saw that night, and he also wanted to find those ghosts and ask them how they felt at that time.
