The Walls Have Ears 09 (Original Fiction, Suspense)

Chapter Nine: The Missing Recording In the basement, Wang Jing'an looked at the words "Teacher, do you still remember me?" on the back of the photo, a strong sense of unease rising within her. Officer Zhou's investigation revealed that the outer door had indeed been tampered with, but no footprints were left behind. Wang Jing'an immediately recalled the threatening letter Teacher Zhang had received, and the handwriting was identical. Back at the counseling office, she suddenly remembered that she had recorded the entire first conversation with Gao Zhenxiang. Perhaps the recording could unlock the secret of "Gege." However, when she opened the file, she found that the entire recording had disappeared, and even the backup was nowhere to be found. The IT personnel checked the login records and discovered that someone had used Wang Jing'an's account to log into the server and delete the file at 11:43 PM last night. Strangely, Wang Jing'an was clearly already asleep at home at that time. Just as she was about to notify the police, a file named "0444" suddenly appeared in the previously empty folder. When she clicked on it, it contained yesterday's counseling session. The first half of the conversation was exactly as she remembered, until Gao Zhenxiang suddenly whispered, "My dad wasn't the first man to live in this house." Wang Jing'an asked, "Then who was the first?" After a few seconds of silence, a stranger's voice emerged from the recording: "Don't trust anyone." Wang Jing'an was shocked because, in the counseling room yesterday, there were clearly only the two of them, her and Gao Zhenxiang. At this moment, another new file popped up on the computer, named "Teacher, do you really remember?" Three knocks echoed from outside the door. Under the door crack, a piece of paper was slowly pushed in, bearing the words: "Were there really only two of you yesterday?"
