Chapter 87 Paranormal Event? Bizarre and Terrifying? A Battle of Wits in the Quest for Truth!
As Wang Yun nonchalantly made his way into the room after his comment, the live stream exploded with reactions.
Whoa, what does Big Brother mean by that?
Drink more hot water? Is Big Brother trying to flirt? That doesnt quite add up. But Ying Yuezi responded to him. Did Big Brother guess something right?
Is this the start of an unspoken confrontation already? Big Brother just pointed out that the programs inspection team hasnt caught Wang Yun yet. Thats like a direct challenge!
Ying Yuezis response suggests Big Brother hit the nail on the head. Does he have a dog-like nose to detect subtle scents?
Can he really sniff out a scent?
The term forensic doctor has quite an impact. Imagine if Big Brother claimed to be a veterinarian instead, haha!
The audience was buzzing with excitement at this twist. What more could they say? Their Big Brother was still as show-stopping as ever. His two sentences were laced not only with irony but also with a hint of flirtation.
Brilliant!
I declare, Big Brother totally wind in this first round. That lady probably doesnt even realize the middle-aged man before her is Big Brother himself.
Viewers in the livestream enthusiastically declared Big Brothers victory in this initial interaction.
***
Remarkable, Ying Yuezi aimed to take control, but Big Brother effortlessly neutralized it with a single remark. This subtle face-off with the new team captain has begun, Shen Hao voiced his amazement in the livestream of the public awareness room.
Right, whats Wang Yuns real agenda here? Is he genuinely trying to play the good guy as he claims, helping to solve the case? Liu Qingqing asked, her face etched with curiosity.
Director Fang spoke with a hint of intrigue, This guys aiming for the police station. Now, apart from a few staff, its mostly filled with our program team. Lets see what tricks hes going to pull off next.
***
In the conference room of the police station, Wang Yun entered nonchalantly and found a seat. Detectives, experts, and professors also took their places around the room. Ying Yuezi sat assertively at the forefront.
With the rooms door shut, curtains drawn, and lights on, the stage was set for discussion.
Lets get a brief overview of the current situation, Ying Yuezi said, her presence commanding attention.
The screen in front illuminated with various forensic reports, as police officer, equipped with a laser pointer, began to present,
Based on our forensic analysis, the victim had no external injuries, no signs of a struggle or violence, and the wounds are consistent with injuries from a fall. The surveillance footage seems to confirm this, tentatively ruling out homicide.
The attendees turned their attention to the screen. Wang Yun, though his primary aim wasnt to solve the case, observed keenly. If he could contribute in some way to this case, it might facilitate his subsequent plans. The forensic reports on display didnt reveal any extraordinary details.
If this report is anything to go by, it does seem like a case of suicide by jumping off a building, a middle-aged expert remarked after scrutinizing the documents.
Were inclined to believe that the victims actions were due to somnambulism. Given her prior public admissions about suffering from sleepwalking, its plausible that an episode led to this tragic outcome, another officer explained.
In the past, our Yueyue never experienced sleepwalking. That evening, I even asked about her eating and sleeping habits, and she reassured me everything was fine. She seemed energetic. How could how could something like this happen? Zhao Yue Xingchens mother, tears streaming down her face, spoke with a choked voice. Her daughters untimely demise had deeply wounded her.
Somnambulism is essentially a sleep disorder, typically characterized by walking around in a semi-conscious state. In severe cases, sleepwalkers might leave their homes or engage in dangerous actions, such as climbing out windows, driving, or even violent behaviors like murder. However, these extreme instances are exceedingly rare. The likelihood of actions like window-climbing and jumping off buildings is even more uncommon. Research indicates that sleepwalkers usually have their eyes partially or fully open and walk normally, retaining a level of consciousness. In most scenarios, they wouldnt engage in something as drastic as climbing out a window to jump off a building. The odds of walking from inside a hotel to its rooftop and then jumping off are even slimmer. Theres no precedent for such an occurrence globally. I dont think this is a case of sleepwalking. Was there any history of drug use? Did her blood tests reveal any unusual drug substances? Ying Yuezi asked sharply.
No, nothing unusual was detected in her blood. She was physically healthy with no evident problems, the officer responded.
That raises questions. I find it hard to believe a physically and mentally sound person would leap from a building during a sleepwalking episode. Do we have any footage of the victim before her demise beside the one circulating on the internet? Lets take a look at it, Ying Yuezi suggested.
There is one, but I must warn you, its quite disturbing. Please brace yourselves, the officer cautioned, preparing to show the video.
Oh?
This statement piqued the curiosity of everyone in the room.
Please, Captain, I implore you to uncover the truth behind my daughters death, Zhao Zhongyuan pleaded earnestly.
Rest assured, Ying Yuezi nodded affirmatively, her gaze intently fixed on the screen.
The attention of everyone in the room also shifted to the screen, which displayed surveillance footage from the night of the incident, captured by the internal cameras of the hotel. Unlike the monochrome footage from rooftop cameras, these internal cameras of the five-star hotel recorded in color.
At around 2 AM, in the Jiujiang Skyline Five-Star Hotels seventh floor, a figure emerged from a room. Dressed in a red nightgown, with hair disheveled, she opened the room door and walked through the corridor.
Reaching the elevator, she pressed the button. However, instead of entering when the doors opened, she stood motionless at the threshold, her head bowed as if asleep.
Then, suddenly, she began to dance. Her dance was peculiar, with her arms and legs moving awkwardly and disjointedly, creating an unsettling sight.
She danced for several seconds before pressing the elevator button again. As the doors reopened, she reacted as if confronted by something frightening. Her body started to tremble, her movements becoming increasingly erratic.
She then stepped inside the elevator. Just as the doors were nearly closed, she swiftly extended her arm to stop them. Peering out, she scanned the corridor left and right with a bizarre smile on her face before re-entering the elevator.
Simultaneously, viewers in Wang Yuns and the public awareness livestream were horrified by what they saw.
Holy this looks really creepy.
My goodness, I was already terrified by the video that was circulating online, but seeing this footage is even more chilling. Im totally spooked!
This is way too horrifying, isnt it? Its like Zhao Yuexingchen was possessed.
She must be possessed by a ghost. Im laughing so hard Im crying, its that spooky. Do ghosts actually exist in this world?
Selling adult diapers, folks! Just tested them myself, and theyre perfect. Not a single leak!
Oh my Buddha, Im terrified! And Zhao Yuexingchen in a red nightgown, of all things? I
The viewers in the livestream were frantically typing as they watched this chilling scene unfold. A flurry of comments for protection, trying to swoe the evil away. No fear! No fear!
Inside the conference room, Wang Yun and the others, confronted with the eerie footage, also had their attention sharply focused. Even a few younger and middle-aged attendees shifted uneasily in their seats, evidently a bit frightened.
The surveillance continued, now displaying the scene inside the elevator.
She stepped into the elevator and lit up the buttons for each floor. As the elevator ascended, she swayed bizarrely in her red nightgown.
At each floor the elevator reached, the doors opened. She suddenly peeked out, looking around. Her movements were strange and uncoordinated, as though she was examining her surroundings. Then, she withdrew her head back inside, and the elevator kept ascending.
This strange behavior continued for three floors.
Upon reaching the top floor, she suddenly jerked her head around, stood on tiptoes, narrowed her eyes, and stared fixedly at the camera, moving closer.
Slowly,
Slowly,
She tilted her head and then walked backward out of the elevator.
This scene was incredibly eerie and terrifying.
Wow, that guy selling adult diapers, I need to buy one, actually make it two!
Is this some kind of horror movie? Im getting goosebumps in broad daylight!
This is a paranormal event, for sure! This is supernatural!
The resurgence of spiritual energy, the return of the bizarre. Brothers, the age of great conflict begins. I shall wield my keyboard to become a Keyboard Immortal!
At that moment, everyone was taken aback, their faces turning ghostly pale with fear. It seemed like a real paranormal event, akin to an actual horror film, sending chills of terror through the viewers.
Im done. I wont dare use an elevator for the next few weeks!
Many viewers watching the livestream shivered in fear.
***
Ah, its that scary? Liu Qingqing exclaimed in surprise in the public awareness livestream, unable to contain her loud outburst.
Beside her, Shen Hao had already covered his eyes, too scared to watch any further.
This scene is indeed peculiar, Director Fang observed calmly, commenting under his breath, But viewers shouldnt worry. These images will eventually make sense.
***
Wow, that video is truly spine-chilling, a young man in the conference room gasped, visibly shocked.
All attendees in the room furrowed their brows in deep thought, including Ying Yuezi, who appeared particularly contemplative and focused.
After the video concluded, the police officer said, Next up is the footage thats been circulating on the internet.
How strange. Why would she behave in such an eerie manner? Could this be sleepwalking? a middle-aged expert asked, puzzled.
Sleepwalking doesnt usually manifest in such a terrifying manner, nor does it typically involve such bizarre behaviors. It almost seems as though she was being pursued by something, added an elderly man, deep in thought.
The assembled experts, professors, and detectives in the conference room all wore expressions of confusion and uncertainty. They were clueless and directionless amidst this bizarre and eerie case.
Do we have detailed information on the victim? Were any of her colleagues or agents present in this hotel? Were there any unusual circumstances? And why did she come to Nancheng in the first place? Ying Yuezi began asking a series of probing questions.
Captain, does this mean you suspect our daughter was actually harmed by someone? Zhao Zhongyuan asked, his voice laced with nervous tension as he focused on Ying Yuezi.
I need to examine the body again. If we dont find any unusual drugs in her system, then its likely a 70 percent chance that this was a deliberate act, Ying Yuezi confidently asserted, briefly glancing at the documents in her hand. Lets not jump to conclusions about supernatural forces. At least, Ive never encountered any in my experience.
Captain, youre requesting another autopsy? asked a police officer.
Yes, Id like to inspect it myself, Ying Yuezi nodded, her eyes shifting toward Zhao Zhongyuan.
Please do, Captain. We hope you can bring the culprit to justice, Zhao Zhongyuan quickly replied, his hope evident.
Very well, lets proceed to the morgue. Note that we cant have too many people in there, but we will provide a detailed report of the re-examination to everyone afterward. Who wants to join? the police officer stood and asked.
I will. I have experience in forensic medicine, Wang Yun promptly stood up and offered.
Ying Yuezi eyed Wang Yun, nodded in acknowledgment, and then led the way out of the room. A few middle-aged and elderly individuals followed them to the morgue, where a police officer had already alerted a forensic doctor.
If you want to re-examine the body, please come inside, said the middle-aged forensic doctor, leading them further in.
Wang Yun and the group entered, and at that moment, the video feed in their livestream went dark, leaving only the audio streaming. The program team had disabled the video feed.
Is there anything else you would like to ask about? the forensic doctor approached a gurney draped with a white sheet, addressing Wang Yun and the others.
Lets take a look, Ying Yuezi requested without hesitation.
The doctor nodded and pulled back the sheet, revealing the body that had fallen from a great height. It was a ghastly sight, untouched since the fall, maintaining the condition it was found in.
Purchase the God-Level Forensic skills.
Wang Yun, having ample shock value points, didnt hesitate to buy the necessary skill before heading straight to the corpse. A wealth of forensic knowledge suddenly filled his mind.
May I have a pair of gloves? he asked the middle-aged forensic doctor. Im a forensic doctor too, and Id like to conduct an examination.
Hmm? As long as the family consents, thats fine, the doctor responded.
Zhao Zhongyuan, standing nearby with tears in his eyes, nodded his approval.
Ill need a pair as well, Ying Yuezi chimed in.
Both of them were handed white gloves. Wang Yun donned them and unveiled the white sheet covering the body. Ying Yuezi began her own examination, employing various tools for verification.
A quick scan by Wang Yun revealed no particular anomalies in Zhao Yuexingchens pre-mortem condition.
Her blood indeed shows no traces of any special drugs, and her eyes dont exhibit any anomalies. Everything appears normal. What did you find? Ying Yuezi asked after a while, glancing at Wang Yun.
No signs of drug residues in the victim. She was physically normal, Wang Yun replied, shaking his head. He squinted as he continued, The victim was 169 cm tall, weighing about 112.5 jin, which is roughly 56.25 kilograms with a possible deviation of 0.5 jin, leg length 95 cm, hair about 45 cm long, neck measurements
He muttered to himself, scrutinizing the bodys arms and palms, leveraging his newly acquired forensic skills to deduce intricate physical details of the deceased.
Zhaos mother, unable to contain her anxiety, interjected, Do you have any findings?
Wang Yun shook his head.
I still believe theres a 70% likelihood of foul play. I need to further investigate at the Jiujiang Skyline Five-Star Hotel, Ying Yuezi declared with conviction, removing her gloves.
Silently, Wang Yun followed suit, placing his gloves aside.
Captain, please feel free to conduct your investigation, and let us know if you require any additional information, a police officer offered helpfully from the side.
Understood, Ying Yuezi nodded and proceeded toward the exit.
Wang Yun and others followed, leaving the morgue behind. Upon returning to the conference room, Ying Yuezi didnt pause. She quickly gathered her documents from the table and promptly departed. Zhao Zhongyuan and his wife hastily followed her, evidently viewing Ying Yuezi as the most competent individual in the room, especially since she firmly believed that their daughters death was a case of foul play.
***
Miss Ying Yuezi is so adamant it was man-made? How is that possible when everything recorded on the surveillance seems so real? It seems like its supernatural.
Could Zhao Yuexingchen have had some psychological disorder, especially since she admitted to sleepwalking in a recent interview?
Miss Ying Yuezi has gone to further investigate, but what about Big Brother?
Its clear that Big Brother has other intentions. Surely, you dont actually believe hes just a good guy?
Meanwhile, in the live stream room, countless viewers were engaged in a heated discussion about the case. They began to theorize and debate, with many online platforms and netizens analyzing the situation. The consensus among many was that if it wasnt a case of supernatural forces, then it might be that Ying Yuezi had a sudden psychological episode, exacerbated by her history of sleepwalking. After all, Zhao Yuexingchens entire death process was captured on the surveillance footage.
How could that be orchestrated by someone?
Watching Ying Yuezi depart, Wang Yuns gaze flickered slightly.
I must find a way to use this case as an opportunity to make contact with the department responsible for issuing identity cards, he pondered to himself, his eyes alight with determination.
I need to delve deeper into this case, Wang Yun remarked, making his way toward the Jiujiang Skyline Five-Star Hotel.
The hotel was closed due to the recent incident, though a few staff members remained inside. Wang Yun roamed through the hotel, inspecting the surveillance cameras at various points before finally reaching the rooftop.
Ying Yuezi was there as well, engrossed in her own investigation.
After spending about half an hour exploring the hotel, Wang Yun headed to the surveillance room, where he found two young men.
Excuse me, lads, Wang Yun greeted them as he approached.
Ah, you must be one of the detective experts, right? Weve been instructed by the manager to assist you fully, one of the young men replied with a welcoming smile.
Thank you. Could I have a look at the surveillance footage? Wang Yun asked, smiling and nodding at them.
Of course, sir. Here you go, the two young men replied politely. We have six screens here, though there are more cameras. You can enlarge these smaller images, just click on wherever you want to focus.
Wang Yun nodded and sat down to examine the footage. The screens displayed the team of experts and professors still investigating the hotel corridors. Ying Yuezi was also closely observing, her actions eerily similar to those of Zhao Yuexingchen before her death, as if she was simulating or role-playing.
Was she trying to emulate Zhao Yuexingchens behavior?
Role-playing, method acting? he mused to himself, his focus intensifying suddenly, and his eyebrows lifting in realization.
Wang Yun closed his eyes, replaying the surveillance footage he had witnessed in his mind, along with Zhao Yuexingchens physical data.
Is it possible to view the footage from the night of the incident on this system? Wang Yun asked the young men, eager to confirm a suspicion.
The footage has been deleted. Our boss wanted to prevent further online uploads. The police have backups of what was deleted, one of the young men explained, shaking his head.
Oh? Who uploaded the video of the jump to the internet? Wang Yun asked casually.
It was one of our colleagues, Xiao Gao, the young man replied, then leaned closer with a conspiratorial air. Do you think our hotel is haunted? Zhao Yuexingchens death was so strange, and I cant shake the feeling that theres something ominous lingering here.
Wang Yun appeared momentarily startled, then dismissed the notion with a shake of his head. Ghosts? Theres no such thing as unclean spirits.
But Im sure there is something. Just this morning, I heard that Xiao Gao was involved in a serious car accident. Theres definitely something eerie going on here, the young man insisted, glancing nervously around. If I werent waiting for my pending salary of 5,000 yuan and had debts to pay, Id have left this place already.
***
Hahaha, staying for 5,000 yuan even if it means facing ghosts thats dedication!
Funny, but what this guy is saying is kind of creepy. Xiao Gao was in a car accident? Is that just a coincidence?
Sounds like hes haunted!
Whats Big Brother up to with his serious investigation? Whats his plan?
The viewers were abuzz with speculation, trying to decipher Wang Yuns intentions.
Back in the surveillance room, Wang Yuns eyes gleamed thoughtfully upon hearing the young mans story. Ideas were forming in his mind, though there were pieces he still couldnt quite place.
Exiting the surveillance room, Wang Yun reviewed the documents he had about Zhao Yuexingchen and began searching for additional information on his laptop.
I think Ive figured out part of the truth behind this case, he mused.
Half an hour later, sitting in the hotel lobby with a faint smile, Wang Yun contemplated his next move. Utilizing this case could likely aid him in smoothly obtaining the needed ID documentation.
