Yelou Archives

Chapter 9

The truth of the Yelou burial case came to light, causing quite a stir in the local area. However, people did not pay too much attention to the case itself, but were more curious about which unlucky guy bought this house at this juncture.Let’s not talk about whether it is haunted or not. If seven corpses are dug up, it will be a proper haunted house. In 100 years, this house will not be sold. Whoever buys it will surely pay.

The official pushes the boat along the way, hyping that the wild building has been purchased by private individuals and is inhabited. Those eager explorers have to stop. They are still very clear about the difference between visiting a ghost house and breaking into a private house.A few unwilling young people wandered outside the wild building all day long, unable to go in and explore, and it would be good to see what kind of homeowners dared to live in the buried asylum.

However, Lu Yuan was very shameless and didn't go out for more than half a month.

The gossip enthusiasm of the gossipers was exhausted, and gradually, Yelou returned to its former desertedness, and continued to be its incompatible corner in the noisy city, but without the support of haunted rumors, it was even mentioned by the public a handful of times Countable.

Teng Yao cut out the reports about wild buildings from newspapers and magazines, pasted them on a special small notebook, and drew pictures of several victims and murderers on the blank pages. The files are pretty much the same, only missing the autographs of those who have died.He doesn't know why he did this. If he wants to review this case in the future, he can go to Lu Yuan to borrow the file, but he just wants to record this strange experience in his own way. Notation, or recorded on paper is the most reassuring.

Carefully stuffing the notebook into the back of the file shelf, Teng Yao cheered up and started a new day's work.

Ever since he helped Boss Liu figure out the root cause of his son's madness, Teng Yao has completely established his reputation in the detective circle. In the past, he was entrusted with finding cats and dogs to photograph the mistress. The number of commissions increased inexplicably, and Teng Yao smiled wryly, pressing the corner of his forehead. He really didn't know what these parents' short-sighted commissions had to do with his fame gained by taking pictures of ghosts.

But since the entrustment has come to the door, there is no reason to push it out and not accept it. Everyone has to eat, and Teng Yao wants to make money.

Opening up the information of the first business today, it is really looking for someone again. It is different from going on your own in a small and limited way. This time it is a serious disappearance. The former disappeared during the night run. The nearby monitoring showed that the old professor started along the night running route that night. There was no monitoring in the middle of the road, and the old professor disappeared on this section of the road.The monitoring on both sides did not capture the picture of him coming out, and the weird thing is that they did not capture the pictures of other people and cars entering and leaving the road section, which means that the probability of the old professor encountering bad guys is also very low, but this person just disappeared. No one is alive, no one is dead.

Seeing the word "missing", Teng Yao's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't forgotten that the Yelou burial case started with the disappearance of several people who had no connection or commonality.He hurriedly searched the Internet for recent disappearance information, and he was relieved that he didn't find a case similar to the old professor's, and then patted his forehead self-deprecatingly.

"There are so many serial killers, don't scare yourself."

Having said that, Teng Yao immediately set off to the place where the old professor had an accident - the suburb of West City, only two kilometers away from the new university town.The old professor teaches in a university in the university town, and lives in a school apartment. Except for classes, the rest of the time is spent at home reading and practicing calligraphy. The only outdoor activity he can't shake is running after dark.The old professor likes to be quiet. After running around the campus twice but meeting teachers and students who greeted him frequently, he changed his route and ran on a remote road far away from the university town. He couldn't be robbed, and there were almost no cars in the suburbs at night, so he could run however he wanted.

Teng Yao started from the apartment where the old professor lived, and walked along the track before the old professor disappeared. Even in the clear sky, there are not many pedestrians and vehicles on this road. Teng Yao stops and walks when walking, and pays attention to all possible Tibetans on the road. corner of.After turning two turns, he officially entered the unmonitored section of the road. This is a road built between two mountains. It sounds desolate. In fact, there are steep rocks on both sides of the road. It is impossible for Tibetans to hide of.Teng Yao tried to climb up the mountain, but he had to retreat after walking more than ten meters. Even with his skill, he couldn't go up with bare hands.

After walking the 5000-meter road in peace, Teng Yao saw the camera on the road ahead. This camera did not capture the old professor from the beginning to the end, and there was no need for him to continue walking.

"A straight road with no fork in the road, how can people disappear while walking?" Teng Yao sat on the rock beside the road, dug out the bread he bought casually in the University City, and gnawed and thought about it.After he took two bites of bread, he raised his face. The sky, which was still blue just now, seemed to be covered by a layer of black film, and it became dark in the blink of an eye.

A car coming from the outskirts of the city gradually slowed down, and when it stopped in front of Teng Yao, the window was lowered, revealing that unforgettable face.

"Mr. Teng," Lu Yuan was as kind and polite as ever, "It's a coincidence that I can meet you here too."

Teng Yao didn't expect to meet acquaintances in such a remote place, he was pleasantly surprised and choked on dry bread crumbs, coughed so hard that he couldn't stop coughing, and choked back his greetings.

A small black head with a little white line popped out of the car window, and the black bean eyes were full of schadenfreude.

"Doo...cough cough." Teng Yao slapped his chest vigorously, and at the same time he still gestured to Lu Yuan to tell him to hide Dudu quickly. There is a camera more than ten meters away, and being photographed is no joke.

Lu Yuan glanced at his hand, wondering if he understood what he meant, he took a bottle of water and opened the door to get out of the car, Dudu jumped out of the car awkwardly, and followed with his short legs.

Ten Yao covered his face: It's over.

Lu Yuan unscrewed the mineral water and handed it over, Teng Yao gulped it down a few gulps, and the discomfort stuck in his throat disappeared, but he was still panting like a fish out of water, and he didn't get over it for a long time An uncomfortable energy.

Dudu sniffed the half bread in Tengyao's hand, seeming very interested, Tengyao handed it over helplessly: "Here, have a full meal before being taken away."

Dudu glared at him ferociously, and gnawed the bread to the side.

"Duddu," Lu Yuan said with a straight face, "You can't be rude."

Dudu turned his back and pretended not to hear.

Teng Yao gestured to the hollow water bottle, and wanted to give that little awkwardness a try, but he was unwilling to do so.

The pet didn't live up to it, so the owner had to apologize instead: "Sorry, I spoiled it."

"It's a trivial matter," Tengyao shook the bottle in the direction of the surveillance, "You should think about how to keep it from being taken to the zoo."

Lu Yuan glanced again, and finally understood what Teng Yao meant, he said with a smile: "The monitoring can't catch Dudu."

"Can't get it?" Tengyao became interested, "Why can't you get it? Did you cast a spell on it?"

Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry when he asked, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Teng Yao didn't expect Lu Yuan to explain to him, he was more curious: "What about my bread, is it invisible in the surveillance or is it floating in mid-air, has it changed a little bit?"

Lu Yuan: "...I haven't thought about this question. I'll give you the answer when I try it when I get home."

Teng Yao stared at Dudu right and wrong, but his train of thought had turned to a strange point.

"Tell me, is there a situation where people walk on this road, but the surveillance can't take pictures?"

Lu Yuan thought about it seriously, and said, "Ordinary people have almost no such possibility. Some people can avoid being caught by surveillance cameras through...uh, spells."

Teng Yao's eyes were shining brightly: "Brother Lu, you must be able to do it, right?"

Lu Yuan did not deny it.

Teng Yao's throat moved up and down due to excitement, and Lu Yuan's eyes also moved subconsciously.

Teng Yao suddenly approached, and asked mysteriously, "Can you make me disappear too?"

Lu Yuan was not used to being too close to people, so he froze all over, but he was not in a hurry to escape.He gave a low "hmm": "Yes, I can, but I can't erase the image you left before, if I erase you from the surveillance now, the surveillance footage will be no different from ghost movies. "

Teng Yao didn't really want to try it, his mind was full of the mystery of the disappearance of the old professor.The old professor is undoubtedly an ordinary person, but if someone who cannot be captured by the surveillance is waiting for him on this road, and then takes him away invisibly, wouldn't everything be explained.

However, his optimism only lasted for a few seconds before being shattered by reality: "There shouldn't be many people who understand this kind of spell, right?"

Lu Yuan told him with certainty: "Extremely rare."

Ten Yao held his head, his face full of despair.

After eating the bread, Dudu turned around and saw Teng Yao's ugly face, and laughed.Teng Yao rolled his eyes angrily: "If I didn't want to be filmed as mentally ill, I would have to push you to the ground and beat you up now."

Lu Yuan gave Dudu a warning look, and Dudu immediately shut up, and obediently climbed back into the car to nest.Only then did Lu Yuan ask: "Why did you come here, did you encounter any trouble?"

The old professor's disappearance was widely circulated in the university town, and Teng Yao didn't need to hide it, so he repeated the commission to Lu Yuan.

"Is someone missing on this road?" Lu Yuan raised his brows lightly, and then returned to normal, "Could it be that the surveillance failed and didn't capture it?"

Tengyao propped his chin with one hand, and said slowly, "Brother Lu, I'm a very professional detective."

Lu Yuan didn't understand: "Huh?"

Ten Yao lifted his eyelids helplessly and looked at him: "I mean, none of your subtle expressions and eyes can escape my eyes. Your reaction just now shows that you know the inside story here, but you deliberately didn't tell me."

Lu Yuan was exposed face to face, with a little embarrassment on his face: "I didn't mean not to tell you, it's just..."

Tengyao waved his hand: "I'm not trying to poach your privacy, you can block the part that concerns you, and just tell me the clues that may be related to the old professor's disappearance."

He raised his face, his eyes were bright and sincere, and it was hard to refuse.

Lu Yuan hesitated again and again, but still surrendered: "I won't say because I'm not sure, I only know that there is an abandoned cemetery near here that is haunted by rumors. Ghosts are not something that can be photographed casually. It's easy for them to avoid surveillance, but you said that if the old professor was haunted by a ghost, he might also avoid the camera."

"Is it difficult to shoot ghosts?" Tengyao dug out the few videos of Yu Yelou on his phone, "Isn't it very clear?" If it wasn't so clear, Boss Liu would have a heart attack.

Lu Yuan watched the video taken by Teng Yao without saying a word.Teng Yao read surprise from the slight changes in his face, as if he had done something extraordinary without knowing it.

Tengyao tentatively asked: "Why don't I take a camera around at night, maybe I can get something useful?"

Lu Yuan frowned: "Aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts again?"

"Scared!" Tengyao slapped his thighs loudly, and Lu Yuan was in pain because of him.

"But since I have accepted someone else's commission, I have to find out whether the old professor is dead or alive. It's fine if he is dead. If there is still salvation, what is the difference between me and an accomplice if I give up now."

Lu Yuan was dumbfounded for a while, and belatedly read some hints from Teng Yao's flying expression: "Do you want me to come over at night?"

Ten Yaobaba nodded.

Lu Yuan looked towards the distant mountains on the side of the road: "That's fine, you have to come sooner or later."

Teng Yao shamelessly rubbed against the side of the car: "It's still early before dark, Brother Lu, you can take me back to the city." He couldn't take a car, he had to walk back to the university town.

Lu Yuan glanced at the monitor intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile, "Get in the car."

"Thank you, Brother Lu!" Teng Yao got into the car happily, not noticing that after their car drove away, the road suddenly became brighter.

Teng Yao has never been a clingy goblin, since Lu Yuan agreed to help, he is also happy to go home early and sleep first to recharge his energy.After nightfall, Teng Yao rode his heavy motorcycle through the streets and alleys to the gate of Yelou, just in time to catch up with Lu Yuan to go out.He pushed the scooter into the courtyard and sat on Lu Yuan's passenger seat, never treating himself as an outsider from the beginning to the end.

Dudu, who was robbed of his seat, was very angry, and kept "Ah Ou" at Tengyao.

Teng Yao took out a small dried fish to feed the cat, and handed it to Dudu in a fawning manner: "Can you sit in the back row, kiddo Dudu?"

After collecting the snacks, Dudu closed his mouth, nestled in the back row and happily tasted the small dried fish that he had never eaten before.

It was rare for Lu Yuan to see Dudu and Tengyao get along in harmony, so he was relieved.

Teng Yao took out another pack of fish fillets made by others, and handed it to Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu, try it?"

Lu Yuan, who has enjoyed the same level of feeding treatment as Dudu: "...If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up."

Before he could finish his sentence, the fish fillet in front of him had disappeared, and then Teng Yao tore open the package and began to chew by himself.

Lu Yuan smiled helplessly and started the car.As soon as the car drove out of the narrow path and onto the main road, the smell of fish fillets surrounding Lu Yuan became stronger. Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that Teng Yao was holding a snow-white fish fillet to his mouth.

"It's delicious, chew it, chew it carefully." Tengyao is like an insurance salesman, trying his best to sell.Lu Yuan couldn't bear to refuse, so he sipped the fish fillet and put it in his hand, but no matter how he chewed it, the fish fillet lost the special salty, sweet and delicious smell when he just took it. The taste of the fish fillets is still his psychological effect.

He couldn't help peeking at the people on the co-pilot. It's not so strange to shoot ghosts. He was even more curious about how Tengyao knew what the female ghost Xiaoyu with the extremely distorted face looked like, and how she knew that she was buried in Under the swimming pool, Teng Yao also knew that Dajun was the murderer of Xiaoyu.He was sure that nothing happened in the backyard on the night of the rainstorm. What did Teng Yao see when he fell?

Will a detective with a completely transparent growth background have any hidden secrets?
