Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1167 Arson Case

Chapter 1167 Arson Case

Sure enough...Jiangcheng has a feeling that things are gradually moving in the direction he expected, and the ghosts hiding around him seem to have no plans to attack them for the time being.

On the contrary, these ghosts are trying their best to disguise themselves, fearing that they will be spotted.

Apart from Teacher Zigui and Bai Xi, what is certain now is that Zhou Tong is also a ghost.

After all, Zhou Tong is no longer a newcomer, and should understand the truth that the more panicked the mission, the faster she will die, but she is still spreading fear.

Starting from this idea, Jiang Cheng also pointed the finger of suspicion at Xia Qiang and his party. As teammates, they should be the ones who know Zhou Tong best, and they should be the first to notice the strangeness in Zhou Tong.

At the same time, another doubt also surfaced. Xia Qiang and his party included Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan, there were a total of 7 people, and they all survived to the present.

Needless to say, the weirdness of this bus, with just a few of them, how did they manage to survive until now without reducing the number of staff?

You know, if I hadn't met myself last time, and the special nature of the Midnight Killer dungeon, these people would have been killed in battle, and all of them would have died in that building.

"Come and see!"

After hearing the sound, everyone gathered around, Feng Jie held a newspaper in his hand, his face was obviously a little nervous, "I just tried my chair, it's crooked... crooked, it just looks fine, but Once you sit on it, lean to one side."

Perhaps because of being stimulated, Feng Jie's narration sounded a bit confused, "Have you ever encountered a chair with a short leg, and for balance, I found a piece of paper, folded it into a small piece, and put it under it. "

After finishing speaking, everyone looked at the newspaper in Feng Jie's hand. There were obvious traces of folding on the newspaper, and it was slightly yellowed. It looked very old.

Xia Qiang stepped forward, took the newspaper from Feng Jie, put it on the ground, flattened it little by little, and unfolded it. In a prominent position of the newspaper, a vertical headline attracted everyone's attention.

"The fire at the Roman Hotel." Xia Meng read out.

Under the title, there is also a blurry picture, which can be seen clearly. It is an old photo. In the photo, there are several corpses covered with white cloth. The corpses are placed on the side of the street. building.

A few words can still be seen on the facade of the building, and the first two words are Roman!

"It seems that this burned building is the Roman Hotel, and we are also in this burning hotel at the moment." Su Xiaoxiao looked around and lowered her voice, "This can also correspond to the charred corpse .”

"You said... Teacher Zigui became like that, and she can still run. She must be a ghost. Could she be the one who was burned to death in the fire case?"

"Because I was burned to death, I couldn't let go of my resentment. It turned into a ghost that has always been entrenched here, killing everyone who entered this big hotel!" Zhou Tong continued acting with a frightened expression on his face.

Xia Qiang nodded, "It seems so, let's take a look."

Along the position of Xia Qiang's finger, there are rows of small characters, but due to preservation, it is not clear at this moment.

Everyone patiently interpreted it bit by bit, and slowly, the reason for this also surfaced. Many years ago, this place called Roman Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in the city, and the people who came here were basically The high-ranking officials and nobles had a very prosperous business, but in the middle of the night, there was a sudden fire without warning.

Fortunately, the hotel responded in a timely manner. Although the process was embarrassing, most people escaped.

After the fire was extinguished, people went in to clean up the scene, and a total of 6 bodies were found inside.

These corpses were burned beyond recognition, and it was impossible to identify who they were. The person in charge had to speculate on the identity of these people from the location where the corpses were found and the things left around the corpses after the fire.

It was a normal process at this time, but slowly, someone found something was wrong.

Because according to statistics, 3 of the service staff did not escape, and 5 of the guests that night were missing. Therefore, there are only [-] corpses at most. What happened to the sixth corpse?

Because many diplomats live in the Roman Hotel, the management is extremely strict, and there is no possibility of someone sneaking in.

Soon, after analysis, the identities of the three missing hotel personnel and the two guests were identified, leaving only the unidentified body.

After all, this Roman Hotel has a strong background, and these high-ranking officials didn't want to cause trouble. What's more, at that time, a dead body of unknown origin was not a big deal to them.

All they care about is when the hotel will be renovated and reopened.

So the unidentified corpse was directly dragged to a mass grave outside the city under the order of the higher-ups, where it was hastily buried.

The rebuilding of the hotel went very smoothly, so it didn't take long before the Roman Hotel reopened amidst laughter and joy. The business was booming on the first day of opening, and the rich and powerful came to join in, and the boss couldn't close his mouth in joy.

But no one expected that the peaceful days did not last for a few days. On a night of heavy rain, the renovated Roman Hotel caught fire again. This time the fire was more violent than last time. Only by rushing out of the hotel can he save his life.

There are different opinions about the fire, and the city is full of storms.

The treatment process was similar to the last time. After the fire was completely extinguished, the rescuers were surprised to find that the scene inside was almost the same as last time, and even the location and extent of the burnt area were very close.

But this time, one more victim was found inside, with seven bodies.

As before, each body was burnt beyond recognition and utterly unrecognizable.

The personnel involved in handling the case found it difficult to confirm the identities of these corpses through investigation. According to records, the identities of 6 of these corpses can be confirmed, but the last corpse cannot be confirmed.

What really terrified the investigators was that some of them actually identified and said that this corpse was exactly the same as the unnamed corpse they found last time!

Whether it is from the position where the corpse was found, or the posture, it is the same!

Such absurd remarks will naturally not be supported. After all, the corpses have been burned to such a ghostly appearance, how can they be identified? As for the position and posture, who cares?

The identifiable person presented his own evidence. He said that he could never remember wrongly. After all, the rest of the corpses were all distorted, indicating that they were burned alive and suffered a lot of painful struggles before they died.

But only this corpse was different. This corpse was lying there quietly.

Lying in front of a large mirror at the corner of the stairs.

Put your hands flat on your chest, very peaceful.

At the beginning, he had doubts, but because the matter had nothing to do with him, and the higher-ups urged the case to be closed as soon as possible, so he didn't bring it up, but now, the situation is obviously not right.

He suspected that this corpse was weird, it was... the one they threw into the mass grave not long ago!

He also said that if you don't believe me, you can take them to the mass grave to see, they didn't bury the corpse deep, as long as you dig it out, you can tell right away!

The police officer in charge of this case felt dizzy when he heard about it. He knew very well the power and complexity behind this hotel, and he didn't want to cause any complications.

More importantly, he also felt that what this subordinate said was nonsense, so he ordered him to shut up with a strong attitude, and threatened him that if he dared to publicize his speculation today, he would let him pack up and leave.

At first, I thought this matter was over, but unexpectedly, the next day, this subordinate really did not come to work, and some colleagues gave him a thumbs up in private, saying that he is quite backbone.

But no one believed this man's words.

So after a long period of silence, the Roman Hotel reopened after some renovations.

But because of the previous incidents, the hotel also asked Mr. Feng Shui to make calculations for peace of mind.

After being instructed by experts, the Roman Hotel finally opened after undergoing major revisions and some feng shui arrangements.

This time, the number of people who came was obviously not as many as before. After all, the dignitaries were also intimidated by the name of the Roman Hotel.

There were even rumors from the outside world, saying that the hotel's Feng Shui was not good, and it violated a taboo, which blocked Lord Yan's way of collecting souls. Lord Yan was not happy, and he just pulled a few people in to make up the number!

Others said that within 7 days, there must be an accident!

But this time, in order to make everyone feel at ease, the Roman Hotel specially invited Mr. Feng Shui to sit in the hotel. The hotel has also put a lot of effort into the management, and always arranges people to patrol, just to prevent all kinds of fire hazards.

The first few days were calm, and after everyone put down their guard a little bit, nothing happened, and the accident happened again!

On the night of the seventh day, the Roman Hotel caught fire again. This time the fire spread very quickly, but perhaps the people inside had run out of experience. Under such a large fire, the loss was not considered heavy.

But when cleaning up the scene, everyone was dumbfounded, and found a dead body again in front of the mirror at the corner of the stairs.

The corpse was burned beyond recognition, but the strange thing is that the corpse was the same as last time, with both hands on the chest, lying flat on the ground, giving people a strange sense of tranquility.

It can be barely explained the first time, but twice in a row, there is no way to explain it!

And this time, they cleared 8 charred corpses from the scene.

Compared with last time, there is one more.

The police officer in charge of the case was sweating from shock, and now he had to believe it if he didn't believe it. He didn't even dare to move the body, but immediately asked people to go to the previous police officer's house to find him.

The officer hadn't come to work since that day, and he never saw him again.

But when the police officers who went to look for someone rushed to the man's house, there was no one in his house. Not only was he not there, but his wife and children were also not there.

What's even more strange is that the door of his house is not locked, it's just ajar, and it opens with a push. On the table, there are still bowls and chopsticks that haven't been cleaned up. The food in the bowl is rotten, and there are even bugs on it. crawling.

And on the chair, there was still the man's money bag, and there was half a month's salary in it.

Through interviews with nearby neighbors, no one knows where the family has gone, and they have not seen their family recently.

The door was left open, the family members disappeared, the dishes and chopsticks were not cleared in time, and the money bag was also thrown in the room at random... Connecting all these together, an ominous premonition came to mind.

Soon, the police officer arrived after hearing the news. He had already made up his mind that he would never touch that strange corpse until he found the family, even if he killed him. up.

After all, anyone can see it, it's so fucking evil!

But when they were running around in a hurry, several villagers came up. They didn't speak when they came, but just moved away. Behind them, there was an old woman who needed help.

The old woman was estimated to be in her eighties, her body was extremely bent, her feet were still bound, and her eyes were lifeless and without any brilliance.

The leading man said in a low voice that this person was his grandma. He heard that the family was missing today and a police officer came to look for him, so he rushed over and said she had something to say.

The police officer asked with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, "Old man, what do you have to say?"

When the old man heard this, he pursed his lips and trembled with excitement. To be precise, it was more like fear, "I... I saw... I saw that family. They left. They were taken away by a person at night. .”

The old man's words were paused, and they were also related to the body, but the leading police officer stared at the old man's eyes unceremoniously, then stretched out his hand, and shook it in front of the old man's eyes. The latter didn't respond at all, and questioned: "The old man , can your eyes see clearly?"

"My eyes are blind, but...but I didn't see it with my eyes, it was a dream..." The old man became nervous, his face turned pale, "I don't know if it is a dream, anyway, it is very real, my old lady I have never had such a real dream in my life. The village was still in the dream, but there was a very heavy fog. I saw this family in the fog. They... They followed a strange person, towards, towards Go in the other direction."

"The whole family was there, one by one following behind the weird man, with their heads down. I was surprised at the time. I went up to ask them something, and saw that their eyes were straight and their expressions were weird. They were all laughing, that kind of... That kind of laughter that I can't describe, it's scary."

The old man swallowed softly, "I asked them where they were going, but they didn't say anything, they just turned their heads and glanced at me, what... didn't say anything, the person in front took a step, and they followed suit , like... like a marionette."

"Weird..." The leading police officer became more and more frightened as he heard it.

"Yes, it's a weird person. I wanted to go up to see that person's face, but I couldn't see it. It was pitch black, like burnt charcoal. Then I stretched out my hand to touch it, but For some reason, Gouwa's wife, as if bewitched, began to scold me, scolding me very harshly, telling me that I am old and immortal, and tell me to get out of here!"

"I've always been very nice to Gouwa's wife. I don't know why...why did she scold me?"
