Chapter 112: Gnomes
"Well, we have a new person in our house, so I want to decorate it simply. ”
After thinking about it, Ding Jie still replied.
"Oh. Zhang Qingqing only replied with one word, and then did not reply to the message.
It seems that I sent a message suddenly just now, but I was just curious, and I sent a temporary one, and now that my curiosity is gone, I may have quit the group chat.
Without this 'old witch', the atmosphere in the group was restored again.
"Ding Jie, have you found a girlfriend?"
This time, it was the fat man Zhang Zhen who spoke, and the attributes of gossip really haven't changed at all, and he asked a very 'sensitive' question as soon as he came up.
"Not really. It's just that I have a pet at home, and I want to decorate it. Ding Jie replied truthfully.
"Yes. I've seen a pet girlfriend, but I've never seen a pet like this, and you're the first one I've ever seen. "The fat man Zhang Zhen also sent a 'thumbs up' at the end of the message, as if expressing his 'admiration' for Ding Jie.
"Is it from the old neighborhood? I seem to have heard a few days ago that the renovation shop is dead. It seems that my expression is a little inaccurate, what I want to say is that there is a problem with the decoration shop, a few days ago, there was a haunted house decoration shop for the residents of the decoration, just a few days after the renovation was completed, the residents moved in, and the whole family died in a few days, and it was on the local news. According to the news, it seems that 'formaldehyde' exceeds the standard. That decoration shop seems to have been 'sealed'. ”
Soon, another girl sent a message.
Questions?
Did a resident die after the renovation?
As an 'awakened person' who often comes into contact with 'ghosts', Ding Jie immediately felt a little abnormal.
He was speculating whether there would be 'ghosts' in this 'haunted house decoration' shop.
Or, this decoration shop is not normal.
"Hmm, is there such a thing? I see, thank you, Xiao Zhang. He sent a message and replied to it, and at the end of the message, he brought a smiling emoji.
"You're welcome. There should be a decoration shop in the old block, if you are in a hurry to decorate, go over and look for it, there is really none, you go to the commercial street to find it, there should be there. Xiao Zhang said again.
"Brother Ding. Are you still coming to work tomorrow?"
"No, I won't. I got a new job, a make-up artist in the morgue, specializing in makeup for the dead. ”
"Brother Ding, when did you learn makeup? Why don't I know?"
"I just learned and I'm still in the apprenticeship stage. Do you want to change jobs? Do you need me to introduce you here?"
"No need. I can't do this kind of work, I'm timid. ”
It's not that I really want to go to the morgue to be a makeup artist, but just find an excuse.
He is absolutely going to resign.
```
```
Once you have figured out the location of the decoration shop, let's go.
Anyway, I planned it yesterday, and I want to go to the old neighborhood to look for a job when I have time.
Today is just right, and then I will find the work of the decoration shop, and the big problem of work will be solved by the way.
Thinking of this, Ding Jie immediately walked towards the outside of the community.
The old neighborhood, although not very far from the neighborhood, is still a bit away.
Need to make a car, or bus 303.
It's about five stops away, and it's very fast.
It's still morning, and the shops over there must be open.
"What's wrong? The police are here again? There's a dead person in the neighborhood?"
As soon as she walked out, Ding Jie couldn't help but stop, because a long cordon was set up on the commercial shop street not far from the entrance of the community.
Outside the cordon, there were a lot of people around, all residents of the community, who were pointing at the commercial street, as if they were discussing something.
At the same time, inside the cordon, there were all policemen, it seemed to be from the criminal police team, and several of them were somewhat familiar, they should have 'met' before, and they were busy in a shop, as if they were 'investigating'.
He remembered the shop, as if it were a clothing store.
The boss is a strong man with five big and three thick, and he used to come here to buy clothes.
What's going on?
The distance is a little far, and there are police cars, and the police are blocked, for the situation in the clothing store, from the outside of the cordon, I can't see it clearly, I can only see a rough idea, the clothing store is very messy, all of them are piled up on the ground, and there seem to be some blood stains.
Suddenly, a stretcher was lifted out of the clothing store.
Someone in the clothing store got hurt?
No, the stretcher is covered with a white cloth.
It's dead.
"Click!"
The policeman carrying the stretcher, as if he didn't pay much attention to his feet, was mixed with a small stone, causing his body to shake violently, almost causing the stretcher to fall to the ground.
Violent shaking, slightly 'tilting'.
Then, an arm with white bones slid off the stretcher covered with white cloth, and it was so dazzling in the sunlight.
There was no flesh and blood on that arm, only Sen Ran's bones remained, and in some places, there were some traces of 'potholes', as if they had been 'gnawed'.
Gnawed corpses.
Seems to be a bit ····· Familiar!
Abnormal!
Could it be related to 'ghosts'?
Paper ash?
"This is the second one. ”
"What second?"
"The second person in our community to die. The two people who died unnaturally, the first one is said to be a northeasterner named Sun Tiezhu, who died miserably, and his body was torn into strips of flesh. Another one died today, a corpse whose whole body had been gnawed clean, and only bones remained. You say, is our neighborhood haunted?"
"It's been less than two months since they died. Abnormal. ”
"Wait a minute, what you said is really false? This newly dead, bitten one has only bones left?"
"What can be fake? My son saw it with his own eyes, and this police officer was called by my son to call the police. It was so bloody, with blood all over the ground and broken bones. ”
"Haunted? It doesn't look like a haunting, could it be a robbery?"
"No way. Their clothing store doesn't make much money at all, what is it robbing?"
The talk is loud, and there is a lot of talking.
But for one point of view, Ding Jie somewhat agrees.
That's 'haunted'.
This neighborhood seems to be really haunted.
Last time, the case of paper ash was very abnormal.
It's that simple, and it's dead.
He felt that behind the paper ashes, there must be something.
It is speculated that in this community, there should be a 'ghost' boss.
Unexpectedly, another murder occurred.
These days, waiting to find a job, I have to look for it in the community.
There will definitely be discoveries.
I can't say for sure, but I can still get a lot of 'merit'.
It didn't take long for the police officers who were investigating the case to come out of the store.
It was Feng Xiaoxiao, the porcelain doll officer, when she saw Ding Jie, she was not surprised, obviously remembering Ding Jie, walked forward, asked a few words, didn't say anything, and then left again.
Ding Jie was a little surprised by this.
This porcelain doll police officer seems to be very impressed by him.
Otherwise, why did you come over and say a few words?
This is not a good sign!
What he wants is to be as 'obscene' as possible, so that he can 'develop' better.
has been 'concerned' by the police, how can it be 'obscenely developed'?
Thinking of this, Ding Jie didn't stay long and left soon.
Put it aside for the time being, and wait until you're free, you will definitely have to farm monsters and explode merit.
```
```
Along the way, Ding Jie was thinking about the murder in the community.
There are 'ghosts' in front of his house, which he must not be able to tolerate.
It must be addressed as soon as possible.
However, there is still no clue at all.
There is no hurry.
Waiting to go back, I found out the 'context' of this case and learned about the information of the 'ghost thing'.
If you are sure that it is really a case done by a 'ghost thing', then 'wait for the rabbit'.
Once there is, there must be a second time.
I often walk by the river, how can I have a time when I don't get my shoes wet?
If you find out, you will go straight to the nest.
Soon, bus 303 arrived.
Got to the old neighborhood.
Get out.
Speaking of which, the old neighborhood is a street, a long commercial street, and on this street, there are all kinds of shops, large and small.
It is rumored that a few decades ago, the old neighborhood was the most prosperous commercial street in the urban area, but with the passage of time and the development of the city, the degree of 'prosperity' here has declined rapidly, and the old commercial street has been replaced by a new commercial street, and this place has slowly become an 'old street'.
Xu is the reason for 'backwardness', and the shops opened here are generally 'coffin shops', 'underworld shops', 'noodle shops', and 'shroud shops'·····
Of course, there are some other shops, such as antique shops, or some commercial shops, but relatively speaking, there are still a few.
The street was deserted, the light was slightly dim, and there were not many pedestrians, and even if there were, they were all old men.
As soon as she walked in, Ding Jie felt an unusual 'coldness', probably because there were few sunshine hours here and the yin qi was relatively 'heavy'.
He didn't pay much attention to it, and after he walked in, he began to search by store.
'Tie paper shop'.
The first shop in the old neighborhood was a paper tie shop.
Outside the shop, there are two paper-binding figures neatly placed.
It's like, it's like a 'living person'.
"How do you feel that these two paper-binding people are a little familiar?"
"Am I being too sensitive?"
Maybe it's because in the closed door lake, too many paper-tied ghost boats have been killed, and he is a little sensitive to the origami industry, and when he saw these two paper-binding people placed at the door, he suddenly felt a little familiar.
To be precise, the 'faces' of these two paper-binding people are a little familiar, as if they are familiar.
Originally, he was looking inside, but this paper shop was closed.
It's weird.
In the state of closed business, there are still two paper-binding people at the door.
Could it be that it is used to watch the door?
The next one is a coffin shop.
This coffin shop is very distinctive, it is a 'signboard' made of a coffin board.
Hanging directly above the doorway, even in the daytime, it still looks a little eerie.
It seems that the shops here are a little abnormal.
It didn't take long for Ding Jie to walk in front of a renovation shop called 'Haunted House Decoration', and there were two seals on the door of this shop.
It seems to have been 'seized', but strangely, the door of the store is actually open.
It seems to be in a state of 'business'.
This... is so bold that he doesn't even tear the seal, so he is blatantly open.
Is it possible that you are really not afraid of being detained?
After thinking about it, Ding Jie still walked in.
There are two reasons for this.
First, he wanted to meet the owner of this haunted house decoration, and learned from the group that this haunted house decoration had a history of killing people because of excessive 'formaldehyde'.
But according to what Ding Jie learned, although formaldehyde is toxic and harmful, it will kill people in a few days.
There must be something hidden in this.
Perhaps, it has something to do with 'ghost things'.
The 'haunted house' must not be let go.
So, let's find out first.
Second, there is no other decoration point address.
To sum up, he still chose to go in.
"Why does it smell moldy?"
As soon as she walked in, Ding Jie smelled a musty smell, as if it had not been ventilated for several days.
The light was not very sufficient, it was a little dim and chaotic, and the shop was piled up with building materials and tools, as if it were a warehouse.
The floor area is not very large, except for some random building materials, it is an old desk.
A very 'shabby' renovation shop.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?"
Just when Ding Jie was stunned, a person suddenly walked out from behind the desk in the store.
He is a short man, only about 1.3 meters tall.
Midget?
Is he the owner of this shop?
"I'm here, of course, for the renovation. Ding Jie replied indifferently.
"Are you sure?" the dwarf boss was a little surprised, glanced at Ding Jie up and down, and asked rhetorically.
"Aren't you running a decoration shop?" Ding Jie replied.
"Yes, but it's been seized. The dwarf boss said again: "Leave your address, and I will come to the door on time tomorrow morning." As for the details of the decoration, we will talk about it tomorrow, and I am not free today and have to move things. ”
After speaking, he took out another piece of paper and pen and handed them to Ding Jie.
The personality is quirky.
Door-to-door service?
After thinking about it, Ding Jie still wrote down the address and handed it to the dwarf boss.
"If it's okay, you can you leave. ”
With that, the dwarf boss put the note away and went back to the back of his desk.
"Bang Bang!"
It's like digging into the ground.
What is he doing digging in the ground?
Also, why is the smell getting worse?
Thinking of this, Ding Jie wanted to step forward and take a look.
Unexpectedly, the dwarf boss suddenly walked out from behind the desk, all dusty, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Is there anything else?"
"It's fine. ”
"It's, I want to ask, what are you digging into, why does it stink so much?"
Ding Jie asked indifferently.
"I'm digging stinky tofu. You're good to go. The dwarf boss replied.
"How is stinky tofu buried in the ground?" Ding Jie asked again.
"Our family's unique recipe for making stinky tofu. The dwarf boss replied.
"Hmm. I love stinky tofu, and if you don't mind, I'll dig it for you. ”
