Chen Hanlin Sitting on the sofa in the living room, his brows furrowed deeply, looking restless.
During this period of time, his family has been enveloped in a strange atmosphere, and he feels unable to understand or control it.
"Lin Xinhui," he called out to his wife, his voice filled with unease, "We must consider moving. This place is not right, it has changed Xiao Mei and affected you. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Lin Xinhui turned around, her eyes filled with determination, "How can you give up so easily? We have come so far, we are close to finding the answer. We cannot run away from the problem, this is about Xiao Mei's future, and the souls of those children."
Chen Hanlin sighed. He understood his wife's insistence, but at the same time, he was afraid, afraid that he could never restore the normal family life.
He said, "Lin Xinhui, you don't understand, Xiao Mei has changed. Her voice, her behavior, they all scare me. I don't want to see her get hurt anymore."
Lin Xinhui tightly held Chen Hanlin's hand, "We will protect Xiao Mei. We can't let this apartment affect our family. We have found many clues, just hold on a little longer, and we will find the answers."
But Chen Hanlin's worries did not dissipate, his emotions became agitated, "What good will finding the answers do? Are you really willing to risk putting our family in this terrible situation?"
The conversation between the two became increasingly intense, and their emotions gradually heated up.
Their voices echoed in the empty living room, and the distance between them seemed to grow even further.
"We cannot back down," Lin Xinhui said firmly, "We will find the answer and unravel all of this mystery!"
Chen Hanlin's emotions reached their limit, feeling a surge of unease that he couldn't suppress. He stood in the center of the living room, roaring and pointing at Lin Xinhui.
"Xinhui, are you crazy?" His voice was full of anger. "You still want to continue living in this eerie place? Haven't you seen how eerie Xiao Mei is?"
Lin Xinhui stood still, her determined expression sharply contrasting the tears in her eyes.
She responded, "Chen Hanlin, this is not just about Xiao Mei, it's about all the children who have suffered in this place. We have found a clue, and we can almost immediately unravel the mystery. Are you really thinking of giving up now?"
Chen Hanlin's fist tightened, showing helplessness and pressure on his face, "What good will solving the mystery do? We are not professional detectives or police. We shouldn't take such a big risk. Xiao Mei has already changed like this. Do we have to wait until something irreversible happens to regret it?"
Lin Xinhui shed tears, but her voice was firm, "I love Xiao Mei, and I am her mother. But we have come this far, and we cannot give up or retreat lightly. This apartment holds too many secrets that we must uncover, for Xiao Mei and for those innocent children."
Chen Hanlin found that no matter how he explained, his wife still wouldn't listen. He was so angry that he couldn't control himself and began to blame Lin Xinhui, "If you had been more careful when looking for a house, our family wouldn't have ended up in this predicament! It's all because you were so careless in choosing this strange place in the first place."
Lin Xinhui tried to stay calm, understanding that her husband's worries came from a place of love, but she also refused to compromise, saying, "I know I was wrong, I admit I wasn't careful enough at the beginning. But now that we are already involved in this situation, we must continue to investigate and find the answers."
In the dim light of the living room, Chen Hanlin realized that his emotions were out of control, sweat beading on his forehead as he gradually calmed his anger.
He looked at Lin Xinhui, her eyes filled with determination and strength. Chen Hanlin understood that his wife's determination was unbreakable.
"Okay, even if we continue the investigation, how do we protect ourselves and Xiao Mei?" He sighed at last, "I was just too worried and impatient just now. But we can't be as defenseless as before."
Lin Xinhui nodded, understanding her husband's concern and knowing they needed to be cautious.
She said, "Honey, we can contact the police and tell them everything. Maybe they can provide some protection measures, or assist us in the investigation. We are not facing this alone."
Chen Hanlin agreed, "Yes, we need external support and protection. However, we cannot let anyone know the purpose of our investigation. We must also keep the eerie secret here to avoid unnecessary suspicion and trouble, being mistaken for a lunatic like Mr. Xu on the third floor."
In the following days, they actively contacted the local police, telling them about a series of strange events in the apartment, including Xiao Mei's strange behavior, hidden secrets, the missing woman's head, and the mysterious voice on the tape.
The police dispatched a local experienced male officer, Li Weihan, to meet with them.
Li Weihan is a police officer who appears strong on the outside but is filled with a sense of justice on the inside. After listening to the accounts of Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin, he furrowed his brow and his expression became serious.
"This is indeed a perplexing case," he said. "We need more evidence to begin the investigation. But we will provide some protection and try to find more clues."
Chen Hanlin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the assistance of the police was urgently needed. Lin Xinhui then asked, "Can you tell us about the original murder case? The victim Zhang Shufen, why couldn't the police find her head?"
Li Weihan pondered for a moment, then began to recount the six-year-old murder case. His tone became somber, conveying the complexity of the case.
"That case was a real nightmare," he said. "The victim was a young art teacher named Zhang Shufen. She was a gentle and kind girl, but her life came to a sudden end in this apartment. On the night of the incident, her dismembered body was found in the second floor of the basement of this building, with her head mysteriously missing. We searched the entire apartment but still couldn't find her head, making the whole case even more eerie."
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin listened intently, becoming more and more convinced that this apartment definitely held some unknown secrets. Lin Xinhui asked, "Was there any clue in the voice on the tape?"
Li Weihan answered thoughtfully, "The sound on the tape is indeed related to the case. This evidence is a part we did not search for, and the suspect has already been arrested and brought to justice. Initially, this case was closed. But now, it seems that you have found some new leads. We will reopen the case and hope to find the victim's head, to let the deceased rest in peace and to bring solace to her family."
Lin Xinhui suddenly asked, "Are her family members still alive?"
Li Weihan replied, "Yes, her parents are still alive. When the case was about to be closed, Zhang Shufen's parents were very unwilling and kept telling us that there must be other reasons behind it. But the suspects were all caught, and according to the police procedures, there really were no doubts. There was no basis for further investigation, so the case was closed."
Chen Hanlin said, "Understood, thank you for your assistance, Officer Li. If we find anything later, we will provide it as soon as possible. Thank you for the resources and assistance provided by the police. We hope to find the woman's head as soon as possible."
Li Weihan nodded, "We will do our best. For now, the best course of action is to start the investigation. We will dispatch police to patrol near the apartment and gather more evidence. If you notice any unusual circumstances, feel free to contact us at any time."
"Okay, thank you, Officer Li." With the intervention of the police, Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin finally felt a glimmer of hope and relief.
