Bro, you are a policeman, not a thug

Xiao Mu's gaze moved slowly and he no longer found the pinhole.

Then he went to the bedroom and stood beside the bed, looking at the floor.

The pinhole reappeared, just like before.

Six pinholes in place of the ghost images.

Then, on the toilet and bathroom floor tiles.

The pinhole was found again.

Second bedroom...also has it!

"But wherever that ghost appears, there are pinholes?"

Xiao Mu moved his neck left and right and stood up.

Rooftop.

Xiao Mu conducted a careful investigation but found no traces.

Then he looked around, seeing high points and places everywhere.

No abnormalities were found.

But a "ghost" was floating around at the height of the 11th floor.

This is a height of more than forty meters, close to fifty meters.

Isn’t it amazing?

This 'ghost' seems to be very good at playing... Xiao Mu said with a mocking look.

Last stop...the mental hospital.

Xiao Mu saw a man locked in a single room.

Fan Zhengping, male, 29 years old...

At this time, Fan Zhengping was tied to the bed with restraints, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes and mumbling.

"It's not me, don't come over here, it's really not me, don't come over here..."

Xiao Mu withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at the doctor.

"The patient's spirit was severely stimulated, resulting in excessive fear and behavioral and thinking disorders..."

The doctor said a lot of things that Xiao Mu couldn't understand.

In a word: Fan Zhengping is mentally ill, and it is very serious!

Outside the mental hospital.

"Have you checked?" Xiao Mu asked.

"Everything has been checked."

Zhao Xiaotang frowned. "He has no criminal record, no history of breaking the law, and he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. People who know him have a good opinion of him."

Orphan, good reviews... Xiao Mu pondered.

The two returned to the scene.

"Can it be cracked?"

Zhao Xiaotang looked at his younger brother with a grim expression.

Xiao Mu was exhausted. "We have to crack it even if we can't. The big boss has spoken, and the case must be concluded as soon as possible."

Otherwise, how free would a minister have to be to give you a reminder?

Xiao Mu's gaze once again fell on the "pinhole" where the ghost appeared.

There are six pinholes at every location where a ghost appears.

Xiao Mu carefully observed the arrangement of the pinholes.

Two rows of three pinholes each.

The spacing between the pinholes in each row seems random and irregular, but it also has a certain order.

This feeling is like... Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, "Buy a crab."

Zhao Xiaotang: ???

After 1 hours.

A live river crab was delivered.

Xiao Mu put it on the table and let it crawl.

After looking at it for a while, a smile appeared on his face. "Go find a toy that walks on six legs, or a toy similar to a six-legged robot... and a pack of needles."

Zhao Xiaotang: ...

Brother, what on earth are you trying to do?

The Special Case Office quickly found these toys, and there were several types.

When Xiao Mu put these toys on the ground.

By adjusting the angle of the toy's 'hexapod'...

Zhao Xiaotang and others' expressions changed, and they finally understood what Xiao Mu was doing.

then.

I also saw Xiao Mu using brute force to insert needles into the toy's feet.

Finally, place the toy on the floor.

Those irregular pinholes all correspond!

"Doesn't this mean something like a six-legged machine existed at the time?"

Xiao Mu murmured, "There's still a problem. Why is there only this thing under the ghost's feet, and only six pinholes? If it were crawling, pinholes would appear in other places as well, right?"

He left the pinhole and surveyed the entire house again.

No abnormalities were found.

Suddenly, Xiao Mu looked up at Zhao Xiaotang and said, "Tell me about the cause and effect."

"On the 22nd, the local 110 emergency hotline received a call from Fan Zhengping. He said he saw some writing on the wall and a ghostly figure in front of the French window..."

"When the police arrived at the scene, they also inspected the wall but found nothing."

"Then we retrieved the surveillance footage and indeed found a ghost..."

"The local police initially thought it was just a prank and didn't pay much attention to it."

"Then the surveillance camera in the residential complex leaked the information and spread the news of ghosts in the residential complex along with the surveillance video online..."

"Three days later, Fan Zhengping's colleague called but no one answered. It just so happened that there was a job that needed to be done by him. The colleague found Fan Zhengping's home and called him, only to find his phone ringing. Suspecting Fan Zhengping might have had an accident, he called the police..."

"When the police arrived and opened the door, they found Fan Zhengping unconscious on the ground. He was sent to the hospital for treatment, but later he became violent and had other tendencies..."

"Confirmed to have mental illness, sent to the local mental hospital for treatment!"

Zhao Xiaotang explained the cause and effect of the whole case in detail as if he were reciting it backwards.

"Three days?"

Xiao Mu's mind was boiling like water, and he muttered, "Then he bought surveillance equipment... Why did he buy surveillance equipment?"

"Did he already notice something unusual at home at that time? He knew he couldn't see it, so he wanted to use the surveillance camera to record it?"

"The four surveillance videos were taken within three days, but only on the last day... did something unusual happen in the bathroom... and a ghost appeared in the second bedroom..."

Xiao Mu murmured in a seemingly incoherent manner.

But the brain is frantically reasoning and analyzing.

Sudden.

Xiao Mu's pupils shrank, "No."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xiaotang asked.

"It's such a simple problem, and we overlooked it."

Xiao Mu patted his forehead and said, "If a ghost were found in our house, would you still dare to live in a place with ghosts?"

moment.

Everyone present was stunned.

That's right.

Fan Zhengping was a man who was frightened by ghosts and became mentally ill, which shows that he has a low psychological endurance and is very afraid of ghosts.

A person who is afraid of ghosts actually dares to live in a house with ghosts.

Instead of running away, you bought a surveillance camera to see ghosts.

The most abnormal thing was that he lived in a haunted house for three days until he was scared to the point of going insane.

Is this so reasonable?

"Do you all feel that something is wrong?"

Xiao Mu's eyes flickered with a strange luster. "Let's not talk about the ghost knocking on the window for now... Remember those four surveillance videos of him sleeping? He was clearly awakened by falling from the air, he clearly noticed something was wrong, and he clearly knew there was a ghost in the house... Why didn't he run?"

Normal people, timid people, would just run away once they see a ghost, right?

It goes without saying how brave a person must be to be scared to the point of insanity, right?

But such a person didn't run away, why?

The faces of Zhao Xiaotang and others suddenly turned gloomy.

There is only one answer.

Something has happened to Fan Zhengping, the reporter of this case!

"Find a good psychiatrist to come over and have a thorough checkup on his mental illness."

Xiao Mu sneered, "If he's not pretending, something must have happened."

He looked at the scene again, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

Was Fan Zhengping really scared by a ghost, or was he acting it out himself?

Let’s crack this secret first!
