A Guest In A Ghost House - Chapter 204 The Smell
I just got back, and my stomach even was empty. When I was ready to refuse him, my mom asked me to go with him quickly and she also said Wu Jian had come here for many times. Then she even handed me 20 yuan very considerately and let me and Wu Jian eat a bowl of noodles outside.
It was just like that I was not her own child.
Wu Jian drove the police car, so he didn’t give me the opportunity to eat noodles, and directly drove me to the direction of the college town. It was a bit exaggerated that I called it college town and the fact was that there was just a sub-campus area of a university and a polytechnic. However, there were still thousands of people and it was also a beautiful landscape of our county town. Every holiday, the number of the people who came here would always be an inexplicable increase. As for the reasons, everyone knew it.
On the road, Wu Jian still didn’t tell me what the case exactly was. He just hesitated to tell me there was something he couldn’t be sure and let me help him take a look. I even almost thought that he would let me identify antiques. Of course, I also knew it was impossible. At last, he only let me identify the soul of the ghost.
I asked Wu Jian and he told me that it wasn’t the ghost soul. Then I kept asking him and he was puzzled and could not say what on earth it was, which made me a little curious.
After all, he had seen a lot of ghosts and at least, there was no big problem with his basic cognition, so what on earth made him so confused?
Soon, we arrived at the college town. It seemed that he often came here in this period of time and he directly entered after simply greeting to the security guard.
This was a medical college, but the training of doctors was not very qualified, so the major here basically was nursing. There were dozens of people in one class, few of who were boys. It could be said to be boys’ paradise, of course, but it also could be the hell.
The young girl who was brimming with youth all the way I saw even made me unable to take my eyes off my eyes. During this period of time, I always had a connection with the university and I even began to think about the possibility of turning back time. After all, even the ghosts had appeared, so turning back time might not be very exaggerated.
When I was obsessed with my fantasies, the car had stopped. It seemed that Wu Jian had an appointment with someone. I just saw a middle-aged man dressed like a teacher was waiting for us with a timid student.
The teacher took us to a dormitory without talking. After asking the student to brief us, he left so quickly, just as if a dog was chasing him.
At this time, Wu Jian opened his mouth and let me and that student make an introduction to each other. Although I don’t understand why Wu Jian didn’t like the teacher much, I also didn’t ask. Then I only smiled and said hello to that student, who was called Xiao Meng.
He still behaved as if he didn’t come up with and idea and then he began to introduce some basic situation.
The dormitory was at the very end of the whole building and it was supposed to be a storage room, but because in several grades, there were some people who became single one in the dormitory assignment, the college simply tidied up the storage room and also made it a dormitory.
The storage room was smaller than the usual dormitory, so only four students lived here, and they were Xiao Meng, a freshman, a sophomore as well as a junior.
In the beginning, nothing happened in the dormitory, but the junior suddenly disappeared one month ago. The police had been looking for him for a long time, but nothing had been found. Just at last week, the junior suddenly came back but the whole man became very strange. As for what was strange, Xiao Meng still couldn’t say it.
It was only from that day on that school that the bodies of stray cats and dogs were often seen in the school and most of them were eaten in pieces by something. What’s more, a teacher’s child even was eaten a few days ago.
A people were eaten, and this naturally became a big case. They originally thought some wild animals must have entered the college, but the police had found nothing at all. However, based on forensic expertise, the bitten wound was left by the human, not the animal, which caused a panic in the entire college town all of sudden. Therefore, Wu Jian and his colleagues also received the notice of solving this case in limited time.
I glanced at Wu Jian and suddenly recalled the scene I witnessed in my hometown. I asked Wu Jian about the details in a low voice and I found it still different from that in my hometown. In my hometown, only the viscera were eaten in the body I saw, but in this college, in addition to the viscera, the flesh of the body had also been eaten.
Then I asked Wu Jian how could he pay attention to this dormitory? And even put the key point on those three college students? He didn’t answer me. He only opened the door and let me have a look myself.
Led by the Xiao Meng, I went into the dormitory. Now there was no one in the dormitory. It was very clean and was never like a boys’ dormitory. In addition, I could smell there was the perfume, but it was just that bad ones, because it smelled so pungent. Then I also smelled another smell in the perfume. It was so light that I couldn’t smell it if I didn’t have a good olfactory sensation, as if there was something that had been decayed.
Wu Jian quietly approached me and asked quietly, “Have you smelled that?”
I nodded and said, “It smells bad. I can’t stand that there is so much perfume in my bedroom.”
Wu Jian suddenly felt very depressed and said again, “It’s not perfume. It’s another smell.”
I glanced at Wu Jian, then nodded my head and said, “The dead mice?”
“Do you still think there will be dead mice in such a clean room?” Wu Jian was a little speechless about my dullness. Then he said, “I’ve already investigated it and found that all smell actually comes from something that belongs to that junior student.”
After saying, Wu Jian even pointed to that bed closest to the inside.
I nodded and walked over, and as I made my nose approach the bed, the stench of decay became increasingly apparent. Then I carefully rummaged with his hand and took a looked, and found the quilt and pillows very clean, but the smell was still very thick. I even wondered how the student could fall asleep under such a smell.
“Do you find anything?” I asked Wu Jian.
He just shook his head and replied, “Nothing. Everything here is very clean and there is also no dead mice or anything like that. The only doubtful point is Feng Long’s coming back. Oh, that is the name of the junior student. Since he came back, he became less talkative. He used to have a girlfriend in this college, but now he seldom came to her. It seemed like that he had changed into another person.”
“Is he possessed by the ghost?” I immediately asked.
Wu Jian continued shaking his head and said, “No, he still remembered everything but just became less talkative. What has changed mainly is his character. Besides, ghosts won’t have smell like that.”
I nodded and also thought Wu Jian was right. If one was possessed by a ghost, he wouldn’t still have his memory before. Of course, there can’t be that bad smell. However, since he was never possessed by the ghost, what on earth made his character change so much?
