Chapter 41: The Caller
The network speed in the office was very fast, and in less than two seconds, Lin Qianren saw the origin of the story of the call.
This is a folklore story where it is said that the souls of people who died unexpectedly will be bound in the place of death and cannot be freed, they will stay in the place of death until someone passes by, they will call your name, and if you answer, they will act as a substitute for it, and it will be freed.
After reading it, Lin Qianren couldn't help but touch his chin and muttered, "Isn't this similar to the one from the water ghost?" β
Xu heard Lin Qianren's words, Lu Huairong said loudly: "This is not the same as the ghost of the water, in less than a week, there are three people missing, how long does it take for the ghost to pull a person, it is far from it, by the way, you should also pay attention when you go out to patrol at night, don't call each other by name, if there is anything to chat directly with the mobile phone text message, even if you hear someone call your name, don't look back or promise, in case it is really a special event, you can avoid one or two." β
Shen Youyun and Lin Qianren nodded their heads in understanding.
In the afternoon, Lin Qianren did not continue to go to the office to fish, but went back to the apartment directly after eating at noon.
After he came back, he first turned on the TV and casually put on a program to increase his popularity, then poured himself a glass of wine, drank it, took a shower with a set of punches, sat on the bed and began to practice.
At seven o'clock, Lin Qianren was woken up from a meditative state by the alarm clock.
Immediately, he got dressed and took his papers and began to walk out of the apartment.
Coming downstairs, Shen Youyun, who had made an appointment with him, was quietly waiting at the door of the community.
Lin Qianqian said hello: "Let's go, you should just wake up, there is still some time until eight o'clock, go eat something first?" β
Shen Youyun nodded indifferently, and under the leadership of Lin Qianren, they went to a place that sold fast food and bought a hamburger and coke together.
At the time of checkout, Shen Youyun refused Lin Qianren's generous desire to pay, but deliberately chose to pay their own money.
Lin Qianren expressed his understanding, he has not seen this kind of person before, there is such a thing as human affection, there are also big and small, and the idea of not taking advantage of others is always right.
Although it feels a little faceless, but there is no machismo in it, walking in society, it is destined to deal with all kinds of people, and learning to tolerate the special features of others is the correct way to deal with the world.
The two of them ate the food in twos and threes, and then walked to the street where Huarong Road was located according to the guidance of the mobile phone map.
The first place they went to was the small alley near Qinglian Square where someone disappeared yesterday.
At this time, a cordon has been set up here, and the yellow reflective tape is written on it as a reminder for road construction, please take a detour.
Lin Qianren knew that this was mostly just an excuse, just to prevent someone from disappearing here again.
He and Shen Youyun circled around here twice, and did not find any special problems, but saw some illegal transactions breeding in dark corners, which made Shen Youyun frown.
The more prosperous the place, the more black existence there will inevitably be that is covered by prosperity, Lin Qianren does not have the consciousness of being a law enforcement officer, and he doesn't want to care about these things at all.
Shen Youyun on the side secretly used his mobile phone to take pictures and passed the evidence to Lu Huairong, and the other party also replied with a message that would notify the relevant personnel to deal with it, and then asked them to patrol well and pay attention to safety.
This side of Huarong Road is in the urban area that is still being planned, and there are many old buildings that have not been demolished, but there are also buildings on one side that have been completed.
This led to a polarization phenomenon in the places where Lin Qianren and their patrols passed, this side is a prosperous neighborhood, all kinds of modern shops are available, young people are vigorous and youthful, and the other side is a dark corner, the street lights on both sides are dim, and a small road in the middle of the residential building is only for one bicycle to pass, and from time to time one or two tired people will walk in and out from inside.
The two were walking, Shen Youyun suddenly stopped, and then said, "I'll go to the toilet." β
Lin Qianren also felt a sense of urine at this time because of the big glass of Coke before, so he nodded and said, "Let's go together." β
As a boy, Lin Qianren's actions were quite quick, and he came out of the public bathroom in less than two minutes.
But he waited outside for a full five minutes and didn't see Shen Youyun's figure, so he couldn't help but shake his head, estimating that the other party was busy with "big things".
Looking at the passage of time on the mobile phone, Lin Qianqian still suppressed the embarrassment in his heart and sent a message to Shen Youyun privately.
Thirty seconds later, however, he still hadn't waited for a reply.
Lin Qianqian chuckled in his heart, and whispered in his mouth: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" β
Immediately, Lin Qianren sent more than a dozen messages to Shen Youyun one after another, but the fact was that none of them were replied, and Lin Qianren, who was not good-hearted, called her again and got through, but no one answered.
Lin Qianren knew that the matter was big, and even @ everyone directly in the group.
Lin Qianren: "@ζζδΊΊ, I'm in the public toilet at No. 103 Baixiang Street, Shen Youyun went to the toilet and didn't come back, and the phone couldn't get through, so I guess something happened." β
The next moment, Lu Huairong replied directly to Lin Qianren.
Lu Huairong: "Don't act without permission first, we'll come over right away." β
Putting down the phone, Lin Qianren looked at the information in the group a little anxiously, and at the same time looked at the location of the women's toilet from time to time.
To be reasonable, even he, a person who has experienced similar incidents, feels a little nervous about this kind of thing.
The cold wind blew, and Lin Qianren's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
According to common sense, he must be standing still, and he should even stay away from this side directly, but the enthusiasm and sense of justice of being a martial artist in his heart gave him the idea of going to find out, in case something happened to Shen Youyun, he didn't want to just stand by and watch.
At this time, it was night, and no one came to the public toilet here, and Lin Qianqian didn't even have the idea of covering his face with clothes.
While calling Shen Youyun, he began to step into the women's bathroom.
As soon as he came in, he heard Shen Youyun's phone ringing.
Behind the third toilet door.
Through the gap below, Lin Qianren could faintly see the light of the mobile phone, but he did not see the footprints of people.
The dim lights set off the atmosphere, and Lin Qianren sneered disdainfully, what effect could this kind of method be used in horror movies many years ago.
When he came to the toilet door, Lin Qianren knocked on the door first, but did not hear an answer, Lin Qianren pushed the door lock with his right hand, and with a click, it was destroyed.
After the door was opened, Lin Qianren saw the mobile phone placed above the toilet paper at first glance, but it was empty.
Lin Qianli bent down slightly, picked up the phone, and just as he was about to straighten up, an exclamation came from behind him.
"Lin Qianren, why are you here?"
With his back to the sound source, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qianren's mouth, this voice was exactly the same as Shen Youyun's, and the exclamation in it was imitated vividly, but he knew that it was fake.
The silence brings a touch of solemnity to the air.
Ten seconds later, the voice sounded again.
"Lin Qianren, why don't you answer me? This is the women's restroom, how can you come in? β
The voice was three points quicker and three points sharper, and it seemed to be a little anxious.
Lin Qianren's original nervous mood had all disappeared at this time, since the other party was in a hurry, it proved that as long as he didn't violate the taboo, it would be completely fine.
With his back to the other party, Lin Qianren even had the leisure to pick up his mobile phone and chat in the group.
Unfortunately, when he edited the words, it showed that the transmission had failed, and the signal above the phone had completely disappeared.
Raising his eyebrows helplessly, Lin Qianren had no choice but to find a novel that had been cached and began to read it.
In the women's bathroom, a man with his back to the toilet door, his hands under him swinging from time to time, this picture is very weird and perverted at first glance, but Lin Qianren is comfortable, he is the first time to feel the excitement in the plot of this kind of daily novel, not because of how good the author's writing is, but because the call behind him gives him an alternative experience.
"Qianren!" At this time, the voice suddenly became old, and Lin Qianqian heard that it was his grandfather Lin Jiazheng's voice, so he couldn't leave the phone in the pit.
Although he was very curious about how the other party knew his grandfather's voice, Lin Qianren adjusted his mentality in an instant and continued to brush up on the novel.
To tell the truth, after an old man's voice kept calling in the back, Lin Qianren's senses of this novel suddenly had a new change, he couldn't stand it anymore, although this old man's voice was his grandfather, Lin Qianren still felt a little disgusting and awkward.
"Little guy?"
The voice changed again, this time to Zheng Hu's voice.
Lin Qianren didn't bother as usual.
"Brother Lin!"
Damn, big fat man, it doesn't make sense for you to get involved!
"Lin Da is handsome!"
"Senior Brother Lin."
"Ahh
The call was sincere, in addition to Lin Qianren's small hair, even the voice of his kindergarten class appeared once.
Lin Qianren also had to sigh, the other party really has a lot of tricks, if they go to participate in variety shows such as talent shows, they can make the mentor light up for them just by this hand estimate.
"Damn, I've finished calling everything I should have called, why don't you answer me?"
The other party seemed to be angry by Lin Qianren's performance, and couldn't help but scold loudly at this time.
Lin Qianren's ears moved slightly, and when he heard Lu Huairong's familiar voice outside the toilet, his spirit relaxed slightly, as if he was affected by some kind of influence, and replied unconsciously: "I don't answer you, of course, because, of course, you are brainless." β
The other party obviously didn't expect Lin Qianren to answer him, and when he heard the voice outside, he was a little surprised, "It turns out that the rescuers have arrived, but it's too late, as long as you answer out loud, then obediently become a part of my strength." β
Lin Qianren felt bad when he heard the other party's words, and just wanted to make a move, but suddenly found that the picture in front of him had changed.
