Studio 8
Jiang Wenli's best friend Cheng Xia was getting married. Because they were getting married because of pregnancy, the wedding was decided at the last minute, so the wedding photos and banquet were all rushed.
After helping Cheng Xia decorate her new house, it was already dark. Jiang Wenli looked at her watch and saw that Cheng Xia was calling her husband Wang Jiacheng for the Nth time. However, judging from Cheng Xia's disappointed expression, no one answered the call. He went to pick up the wedding photos a few days ago, so there was no reason for him to stay away for so long. Jiang Wenli comforted Cheng Xia, saying that maybe Wang Jiacheng had gone out to do something else and didn't hear the phone ringing. Cheng Xia was unwilling to give up and called the wedding shop again. But the clerk said that Wang Jiacheng had left a few hours ago because there was a problem with the wedding photos and one photo was not ready. Wang Jiacheng said he would come back tomorrow to pick it up. This time, Cheng Xia could not sit still. She was full of anger. She was about to get up and look for him. But before she could leave, someone came to her door. It was the police. Someone had found Wang Jiacheng's body in an alley on Binjiang Road, and now Cheng Xia was asked to identify it.
Wang Jiacheng was lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in his back. The moment Cheng Xia saw him, her body softened and she fainted. The forensic doctor said that Wang Jiacheng died at about six o'clock, which was when Wang Jiacheng left. One hour later, Binjiang Road was not far from the bridal shop. He must have been killed not long after he came out of the shop.
Cheng Xia was heartbroken, and Jiang Wenli was afraid that something might happen to her, so she stayed by her side. Just two days after Wang Jiacheng's death, Lu Jun, the police officer in charge of the case, came again. This time, he brought a strange photo. It was a photo of Cheng Xia's wedding dress. Cheng Xia was wearing a wedding dress, but she had wings on her body and looked like she was crying. Wang Jiacheng, who was standing next to her, was wearing a suit, but his face looked like a devil, as if he was grinning.
"Who took this photo?" Jiang Wenli asked anxiously, "Who is so bored?"
"It would be great if someone did it. However, I took the negatives and asked someone to look at them. There was no change at all. The original was like this. That's why the studio didn't release all the photos. If Wang Jiacheng hadn't died, this would have happened. The photo will never be taken out." Lu Jun said.
"This, how is this possible?" Cheng Xia murmured.
"Some people say that Studio 8 is haunted. In the past, it seems that distorted photos were taken there. After a few times, that studio was no longer used. Because you didn't make an appointment in advance and there were many people that day, we temporarily opened Studio 8. The studio was also hoping for a lucky break, but they didn't expect to be able to take this photo. "After Lu Jun finished speaking, he asked Cheng Xia if there was anyone else pursuing her. Cheng Xia shook her head. She had been in love with Wang Jiajun for three years and had never given birth. No one showed any interest in her during this period.
Weeping Angel
After burying Wang Jiacheng, Jiang Wenli decided to stay with Cheng Xia for a few days. Cheng Xia was depressed and couldn't sleep, but she didn't dare to take sleeping pills for the sake of her child.
That night, Jiang Wenli was sleeping soundly when she heard the phone ring. She woke up in a daze and answered it. It was Lu Jun. Lu Jun anxiously asked Cheng Xia if she could come to the police station right away. Someone was killed again, and Her situation was very similar.
Jiang Wenli woke up Cheng Xia and hurriedly got up and took a taxi to the police station. On the bench sat a girl with tears streaming down her face. Lu Jun said the girl's name was Ajing, and her boyfriend had been stabbed to death half an hour ago. The cause of death was almost identical to Wang Jiacheng's, and what was even more bizarre was that the girl was walking with her boyfriend at the time, and someone seemed to have secretly photographed her a few minutes before her boyfriend was stabbed. After the murderer fled, he threw a photo on the victim.
Cheng Xia took the photo, and Jiang Wenli also leaned over to look at it. A couple holding hands, but the girl had wings on her body and was crying. Next to her stood a grinning demon. However, Cheng Xia didn't recognize this Ah Jing! Jing finally wiped away her tears and reluctantly exchanged information with Cheng Xia. However, apart from the photos and her boyfriend's death, the two had no intersection.
Jiang Wenli stood aside, staring at the two people. After a long while, she suddenly said to Lu Jun, "Look, they look a bit similar. They both have almond-shaped eyes, shoulder-length hair, and their clothes are both yellowish."
"Yes, I've noticed that." The policeman said, turning his head to look at Jiang Wenli, "It seems that you also have almond-shaped eyes and shoulder-length hair, but you're not wearing orange."
Jiang Wenli lowered her head and was suddenly shocked. Yes, she and Cheng Xia were similar in many ways, and some people once mistakenly thought they were sisters. Could it be that the criminals would also target her?
After sending Cheng Xia home, Jiang Wenli felt very tired. Today, she wanted to go back to her own home to have a good rest.
Jiang Wenli took out the key to open the door, threw off her shoes and was about to turn on the light, but the light suddenly came on. She was so scared that she almost screamed. At this time, a man came out of the bedroom holding a small cake with candles on it, singing Says: Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…It’s my boyfriend Liu Zilin.
Jiang Wenli was very touched. She had been so busy recently that she had forgotten that today was her birthday. Liu Zilin was on a business trip, so he had undoubtedly rushed back specially. After blowing out the candles, the two sat on the sofa and ate cake together. Chat. The moonlight outside the window was bright, and Jiang Wenli temporarily forgot what had happened recently, and her mood gradually improved. Liu Zilin picked up the camera and asked Jiang Wenli to stand at the window to take pictures of the birthday boy. Jiang Wenli posed and took four pictures in a row. Liu Zilin suddenly stopped after five photos. Jiang Wenli asked him what happened. Liu Zilin frowned slightly and said that he seemed to see a figure flashing through the window just now.
Jiang Wenli was surprised and hurried to the window. There was nothing outside.
In the early morning, Liu Zilin left on the early train. Jiang Wenli was stunned for a while, picked up the camera from last night, and looked at the pictures one by one. After looking at more than ten pictures in a row, a smile appeared on her lips. But before she continued When she turned the page, the smile on her face suddenly froze. In the selfie she took with Liu Zilin, an angel and a devil appeared again. Yes, this photo was exactly the same as Cheng Xia's and A Jing's!
Jiang Wenli's fingers were shaking as she called Liu Zilin. However, no one answered his phone. Jiang Wenli shuddered, called Lu Jun again, and then went straight to the train station alone.
The bus Liu Zilin was supposed to take had already started, but Jiang Wenli didn't know if he was on the bus. She called his cell phone again, but it was turned off. Jiang Wenli's heart sank to the bottom. Maybe he had an accident?
In the cold wind, Jiang Wenli warned herself to stay calm. She had to think carefully about what was going on.
The cause of the incident seemed to have started from Studio 8 of the photo studio. So, is there any secret hidden there? Jiang Wenli thought about it, and got up and rushed out of the door. The studio manager saw Jiang Wenli holding a shovel and thought she was Crazy. Just as she was about to stop him, Jiang Wenli stared at her and said word by word: "My boyfriend is in danger now. If you don't let me smash Studio 8, you will be fully responsible if anything happens!" Without waiting for the manager to react, he picked up a shovel and smashed the door of the studio.
Since that photo appeared, the studio has been sealed. But it was only covered with a thin wooden board. A few minutes later, Jiang Wenli smashed a big hole in the studio. She grabbed the spotlight from the side. , poked his head in. The dark studio was empty. However, on the opposite wall, there was a photo. It was a wedding photo, with a beautiful girl on one side and a happy face on the other. The groom. Jiang Wenli crawled into the hole and pulled off the photo: "Who is the groom? Who is he?"
"Lighting technician, Zhu Xiangming." Someone answered.
"Where is he?" Jiang Wenli's voice rose an octave.
The manager said he had resigned. After the photo incident, he volunteered to seal up Studio 8 and then left the studio. Jiang Wenli almost yelled at her to give her a copy of Zhu Xiangming's ID card and contact number.
Lu Jun arrived in a hurry. He drove the police car and took Jiang Wenli straight to Zhu Xiangming's residence. Along the way, Jiang Wenli simply repeated the words of the studio manager, who was a year ago in the studio and left two weeks ago. He had always felt that he He was honest and did his job well, and nothing unusual was noticed. In the past, he was in charge of the lighting of Studio 8. Later, the studio was abandoned, and he worked as a handyman in the studio. His cell phone was turned off.
As he was talking, Lu Jun's cell phone rang. His colleagues had found out about Zhu Xiangming. He was originally from the countryside and had only settled in the city five years ago. He was summoned by the police for theft two years ago. "You'd never guess that he stole What is it?
"What is it?" Army asked anxiously.
"The tumors in the hospital! They were originally medical waste, but the doctors at the provincial hospital kept some brain tumors, liver tumors and lung tumors for further research. Unexpectedly, they were all stolen by him overnight. Later, the hospital found out that it was The hospital nurse Zhu Xiangming was found guilty of this, so he was handed over to the police. However, the interrogation revealed that he wanted to see if there was any gold in the tumor. At that time, he was determined to have mental problems and his crime was minor, so he was released after a brief education.
After listening to Lu Jun repeating his colleague's words, Jiang Wenli suddenly shuddered. Could it be that Zhu Xiangming was a pervert?
Zhu Xiangming's door was locked and covered with dust. It looked like no one had been in or out for a long time. Lu Jun knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. The two were unwilling to give up. One more person killed the more people on the wall. A figure appeared , the army took two steps back, shot the door lock, and the door opened.
The room was dark with thick curtains drawn. However, there was a woman lying on the bed in the middle of the room. Jiang Wenli covered her mouth in shock. It looked like a corpse. When Lu Jun got closer, he realized that it was a The girl has long hair and wears a yellow dress. Her big almond-shaped eyes seem to be looking at everyone who comes near.
Jiang Wenli turned on the light and looked around. If Zhu Xiangming didn't live here, where would he go? She opened all the cabinets and drawers, and even turned over the boxes under the bed, eager to find clues. There was just one more figure on the ground , but she didn't find anything except some rags and quilts.
Lu Jun stood there motionless. After standing there for about three or four minutes, he suddenly walked to the wall and took down the crooked mirror. Jiang Wenli walked forward and saw Lu Jun turned over the mirror and took out a There were several photos. One of them was a wedding photo of Zhu Xiangming and a girl, while the others were photos of Cheng Xia, Jiang Wenli, A Jing, and at the bottom, a photo of a strange girl.
"It seems that he has been keeping an eye on you. Taking pictures and killing people are definitely not accidental," Lu Jun said.
Jiang Wenli's heart sank, and a huge fear arose.
the truth
At 11 o'clock in the evening, a girl with long hair and her boyfriend were walking hand in hand on the tree-lined road. Suddenly, something seemed to flash in the distance. The girl nervously held her boyfriend's hand. She didn't see a ghost. It was gradually approaching them. In less than half a minute, the ghost raised the dagger and stabbed the girl's boyfriend. But at this moment, the man dodged to the side, knocked away the ghost's dagger with one hand, and had already put the cold handcuffs on with the other hand. Put it on the ghost's hand. When he lifted the hat on the ghost's head, it was Zhu Xiangming. That man was naturally from the army.
In the interrogation room, Zhu Xiangming refused to admit that he had killed someone. He said that he had killed a demon, and he arrogantly asked the police to release him. There was another demon locked in a cave in the suburbs. If he didn't rush back, the demon would kill him. His angel. Lu Jun judged from his hysterical appearance that he was not pretending to be crazy. So Lu Jun asked him to tell him the specific address, and he would destroy the devil on behalf of Zhu Xiangming. Zhu Xiangming disagreed, and Lu Jun knocked him to the ground with a few punches. A blueprint of the suburbs was found in the sole of the shoe.
In a cellar in the suburbs, the police rescued the dying Liu Zilin. Liu Zilin was held hostage near the train station. At that time, Zhu Xiangming should have wanted to kill him on the spot, but was separated by a couple who suddenly fell from the sky on a motorcycle. Liu Zilin wanted He asked for help, but the knife was pressed against his waist. So he asked Zhu Xiangming why he wanted to kill him? Zhu Xiangming said he was a demon, and Liu Zilin immediately concluded that he was mentally ill. So he said that he knew a few demons like him, so why not , he went to find it for Zhu Xiangming? In this way, it would be easier to gather several people together and kill them. Zhu Xiangming was skeptical and did not kill him. Instead, he hid him in the cellar and asked him to write a list of demons. Zhu Xiangming turned to The next goal that has been designed early.
After Zhu Xiangming was arrested, his neighbors told him that he had been deeply in love with a girl. The girl was very beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes, long hair, and liked to wear yellow dresses. However, when the two were preparing to get married, The girl suddenly fell in love with another man. What's more horrifying is that the girl got pregnant with another man's child but was abandoned. She jumped off the building out of shame and humiliation. After the girl's death, Zhu Xiangming's mental state gradually became abnormal. He had been in the studio with the girl. Studio 8 was used to take wedding photos, so he went there to apply for a job and relive his memories again and again. When the studio was closed, he reluctantly placed his wedding photos with the girl there.
Zhu Xiangming was sent to a mental hospital for compulsory treatment. However, Jiang Wenli was still puzzled as to what was going on with the mutated photo. Lu Jun could not find the answer either, but the doctor had an explanation. When examining Zhu Xiangming, he found that his brain A goose egg-sized tumor grew on his head. What was even more bizarre was that the tumor contained some kind of unidentified metal. When Zhu Xiangming was extremely angry, the metal in the tumor would generate a strong magnetic field, even destroying many of their The doctor also said that Zhu Xiangming would not live for more than a few days. The tumor was pressing on the blood vessels in the brain and could burst at any time. This was probably one of the reasons for his mental disorder. As early as two years ago, Zhu Xiangming was diagnosed with He had a tumor, and it contained heavy metals. Presumably, this was why he stole the tumor from the hospital to "dissect" it. He wanted to find out what was hidden in the tumor.
The case was closed. The Army's closing report stated that "Angels and Demons" came from Zhu Xiangming's imagination. The wedding photos of Cheng Xia and Wang Jiacheng gave him a strong stimulation, which induced a strong magnetic field in Zhu Xiangming's brain, which eventually led to The emergence of special images led to the subsequent series of murders.
I'm afraid this report will be considered a fantasy. But the Army can't find any other explanation…
