Chapter 113: China's Spiritual Awakening (4)
Taku Yamamoto tapped his fingers on the table, looked at the three people present and said, "Tell me, what do you think..."
The scene was cold for a while, and none of the people present spoke first.
Seeing this, Taku Yamamoto said: "Since everyone hasn't thought about it, then Manager Zhao, tell me why the industrial park was built there?" I remember that you mentioned on the phone the day before yesterday that Manager Li Gang's incident is not the first time it has happened! β
"I'm sorry president! It's because we didn't do our job well..."Zhao Jianlin hurriedly got up and bowed and apologized after listening to Takushi Yamamoto's reproach, and then explained: "Because too few people know what happened before, and the predecessor of the industrial park at that time was a poorly managed state-owned enterprise, we didn't hear anything supernatural at all when we received it, and the requirements of the government at that time were so we chose here..."
"Huh? So how do you know now that there are other people who have also encountered Manager Li Gang's affairs? Taku Yamamoto asked with a frown.
"That's a coincidence. At that time, a reporter who reported on the death of Manager Li Gang happened to have a similar situation to his family in the past, and it was because he mentioned his family in passing in the report that the workers were nervous. Zhao Jianlin wiped his sweat and explained.
Takumi Yamamoto's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, all this was too coincidental, and he had to doubt the authenticity. Then he asked, "Is that so?" Have you ever contacted that reporter? β
"At that time, we thought that he was trying to win attention and spread rumors, so we sent a lawyer to find the reporter, but the reporter was very tough and insisted that what he said was true, and then we also got the information from Li Gang's wife, and felt that things were a little weird, and finally reached an agreement with the reporter to investigate together..."Zhao Jianlin replied.
"So what's the result?" Taku Yamamoto asked.
"Yes," Zhao Jianlin said and looked at his notes and replied, "At present, in addition to Li Gang, a total of four cases have been found, including the reporter's family. β
"Is that all?" Taku Yamamoto said as he tapped his fingers on the table, thinking that he had also learned something about ghosts from Toru Kazama in the past two days, and it stands to reason that if there were really ghosts that harmed people, there should be no more than that.
Taku Yamamoto, who couldn't think of anything else for a while, said to Zhao Jianlin: "Play the recording and let us listen to it." β
"This..."Zhao Jianlin looked embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing this, Yamamoto Taku's evaluation of Zhao Jianlin dropped a few points in his heart, forced his eyes on Zhao Jianlin, and said impatiently: "What, is there any difficulty?" β
Zhao Jianlin was forced to look at him in a cold sweat by Takushi Yamamoto, and explained: "At present, there is only a recording of the reporter's investigation, and the remaining three people have not found him and his family. β
"Huh? What's going on, you haven't found the person concerned, how can you be sure that the other party has also encountered the same thing as Manager Li? Taku Yamamoto asked dissatisfied.
Zhao Jianlin wiped his sweat and explained: "That's the case, the remaining three people, we all learned from others. One of the three took place in the 60s, and the other two were former construction workers. The one that happened in the 60s, because of the long period of time and some things that happened during the period, it is difficult for us to find the exact location of their family now. As for the two construction workers, we contracted out the project at that time, and now we have found the contractor at that time, and we can be sure from the other party that the two workers did encounter dirty things, but because the contractor did not sign any contract with the two workers, the contractor does not know where the two people came from. β
Takumi Yamamoto was fascinated when he heard this, this is indeed a little difficult to do in China now. After thinking about it, he said, "Then let's put that reporter first!" β
"Yes, President." Zhao Jianlin clicked on the recorder after agreeing.
"My brother's affair has been going on for a while, but I still remember it. I haven't told anyone else about this, but if it weren't for the fact that your death was similar to that of my brother, I would probably think that my brother's case was just a special case......"
"According to you, your brother saw a ghost in the parking lot of the park near the original factory and now the industrial park?"
"Yes, he said he saw a ghost."
"What kind of situation is that?"
"Looking back now, it's really similar to Li Gang, who just committed suicide, and I won the bid when I did that kind of thing. Don't look at me with that kind of look, unlike that Li Gang, my brother is a serious object. At that time, the factory had not been sold, and now the parking lot of the industrial park is still for a small park, and everyone was not very wealthy at that time, and the young people in the factory like to meet in the park and do that kind of thing. My brother and so did him. That day, he went out after dinner, but came back very early, before, he had to come back at ten o'clock, but he came back at seven or eight o'clock that day, and when he came back, his face was very ugly, and his body was covered with cold sweat. We asked him when he was sick and he didn't say anything. β¦β¦ When I think about it now, the way he looked back then was the way he saw a ghost in the movie. β
"Did your brother tell you what he saw?"
"The next morning, we had breakfast together, and at the dinner table he told me about last night, and he laughed at the time, saying that he was dazzled yesterday and scared himself. I asked him what he saw, and he said he saw a snow-white face hanging from a tree, staring at him condescendingly, or rather, staring at himself, with a pair of black eyes, like holes, staring at him like that. I laughed when I heard it, and my brother laughed embarrassedly. We all thought he was dazzled. But then, later, ......"
"Mr. Li, don't get excited, let's smoke a cigarette first."
Quack!
"Shhhhh
A few days later, my brother made friends with the girl and made an appointment to meet in the park. That night he ran back early again......"
"Did he see that face again?"
"Yes, he saw that face again. This time, without saying anything, my brother rushed into his house and locked himself up. He and I slept in the same room. The conditions of our family are better, because the old man in the family is the office director in the factory, and there is a two-bedroom house, one for the two of them and one for our brothers. My parents and I were watching TV, and he rushed in and slammed the door, and no matter how we knocked, he wouldn't open it. Later, his object chased him to our house, and he also rushed in, and when he came in, he started scolding, and the neighbors came to see the excitement, and my mother finally persuaded him, closed the door and talked. The girl wiped her tears as she spoke. I listened to her incoherent, and it took me a long time to figure it out. My brother was doing that with her when he ran, and suddenly he left the girl and ran away alone, which made people angry enough. Now that I think about it, that girl is really good, if it weren't for my brother's encounter, she might have become my sister-in-law. I remember that she finished counting, and her anger subsided, and she began to worry about my brother, and I heard my mother say that my brother would lock himself in the house, and she was also nervous, and she leaned on the door to talk to my brother. My brother didn't make a sound in the house, and when my old man got angry, he called me to bang on the door, and my brother spoke, yelling at us not to come in. That roar...... That's right, it's the sound of fear. β
"And then? Have you figured out how to treat it? β
"How could I not want to, at the beginning of the time, our family thought that maybe my brother had a problem there, so we left the girl halfway and ran away, and now I have locked myself up. My parents were lying on the door, doing ideological work for my brother there, persuading him to go to the doctor or something, and tossing and turning for most of the night. My brother was annoyed and yelled again, and everyone went to sleep first. When he woke up the next day, he opened the door, but under his eyes, it was jet black, like the kind of person who was dying. My mother was so anxious that she asked my dad to ask my brother for leave, and she was going to take him to the doctor immediately. My brother agreed. On that day, I went with me. β
"Are you sure what happened when you go to the hospital?"
"Hehe, if only I was sure that my brother wouldn't have committed suicide."
"I take the liberty of asking what subject you were looking at at the time?"
"You want to ask if you've ever seen a psychiatric department. Phewββγ At that time, my brother chose it himself, and at first he saw an ophthalmology, but my brother didn't let us be around, so he kicked us out, and he and the doctor saw a doctor alone, and when he came out, the whole person was in a trance, and he had to go to the registration department, and he was going to the psychiatric department. β
"And what did the psychiatrist say?"
"The doctor said it was paranoia and needed to be hospitalized."
"Have you been treated? The result? β
"At first, my dad didn't believe what my brother said, thinking that he was scared and that it would be fine after a while, so he took my brother home. I remember that after I went back, my dad went back to the factory and started looking for someone to find out which rabbit cub scared my brother. β
"Are there any results from your father's investigation?"
"Nope. Later, my brother was sometimes good and bad, sometimes he couldn't see it, sometimes he saw it, and then he gradually stopped going out and locked himself in the house, and we all felt that it was not okay to go on like this, so we sent my brother to the hospital for treatment. β
"Does it work?"
"No, it's useless!"
"And then?"
"Later, we took my brother home again, and the factory was also in a state of semi-shutdown at that time, and it closed down not long after. My brother locked himself in the house, my mom cried when she saw it, and my dad smoked desperately. I...... I just graduated from college and got my current job, but I just didn't want to stay at home. β
"Did you think of anything else in the meantime?"
"You mean the superstitious living?"
"So to speak."
"Later, there was no way, what to invite monks, Taoist priests to do things, go to the temple to stay, invite ghosts and immortals, etc.
"Didn't it work?"
"Yes, maybe my family hasn't met a real person, the money has been spent, but there is no effect."
"Listen to what you mean, do you believe those monks and Taoists?"
"Hehe, there are ghosts in this world, there are always a few monks and Taoist priests who have real skills!"
"Did you find anything unusual about your brother's suicide?"
"My brother was locked up in the house at that time, not going out and not seeing the leaves...... I've been thinking all these years that if he stays at home for the rest of his life, and doesn't look at the leaves for the rest of his life, maybe he will be able to live in peace until now. He is my own brother, the only real brother, and it is not a problem for me to raise him as a younger brother. But I ...... I ......"
"Mr. Li, you are ......?"
"Phew-thanks, I'm fine, just thinking that my brother might have been killed by me......"
"Mr. Li, if you can, can you tell us more about it? If you can say something, it will help us a lot. β
"PhewβI remember it was autumn, and the leaves were yellow. When I came home that day, I didn't pay attention, so I went back to the bedroom, took off my coat and threw it on the bed. My brother was taking a shower and wasn't in the house. I went to the kitchen to help my mother cook, and when it was ready, I went to call my brother to eat, and I saw that the toilet door was still closed, I thought it was the old man who was using it, and went to the bedroom, and found that my brother was not there, and when I came out again, I saw the old man coming out of the bedroom of their old couple...... PhewβI didn't know why, but I guess it was just a gut feeling, and I looked back at my bedroom. My coat was spread out on the bed. My brother and I have slept in the bunk bed all my life, I can sleep in the bunk, and there is a shadow on the bed, I didn't pay attention to it, but when I turned around, I saw it. I ...... on that garment Back ...... There is a leaf hanging from it......"
"Hah...... I took a leaf with me and went into the house...... I went in with the leaves...... I...... I'll give my brother ...... Killed ...... It's all my fault...... It's all my fault......"
"Mr. Li, it's not your fault. It's an accident, and you're sorry ......"
"Rustle"
"Is it better? Mr. Lee. β
"Hmm!"
"Are there two last questions you can answer?"
"You say."
"First, isn't what your brother sees is a face and not a human head?"
"Human Head...... Maybe it's the head. I didn't see what he said, he always said 'face' when he said it to me. β
"Mr. Li, do you remember how many days your brother went through from seeing the ghost to dying? How often does he see ghosts? β
"I ...... I don't remember exactly. β
"Is that so? Thank you for your cooperation. β
"Rustle"
The recording was played, because the description was more detailed this time, except for Toru Kazama, who was born as a ghost Taoist, everyone present felt that their backs were cold.
What the? You say Conan is an atheist? Well, maybe it used to be, but now, after a lot of experience, he's still shaken.
Takushi Yamamoto stabilized his mind and asked Toru Kazama, "Kazama, what do you think?" β
Kazama Che thought for a moment and said, "It should be a ghost, but you have to see the scene to find out." β
"Is that so?" Takumi Yamamoto thought for a while and asked Zhao Jianlin, "Manager Zhao, how long will it take to get to the industrial park?" β
"It's a long way, about 3 or 4 hours." Zhao Jianlin replied.
Taku Yamamoto looked at the time and found that it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so he made a decision: "It's a little late now, so I'll be here today, and we'll go to the scene tomorrow." β
Taku Yamamoto made a decision, and everyone dispersed, before going to sleep at night, Takushi Yamamoto's door rang, and when he opened the door, he found that it was Xiaolan, only to hear her say: "Cousin, I want to talk to you......"
