Chapter 22: The Coffin

When the elderly security guard heard this, he was stunned, he gasped for breath, carefully took off the dust mask on his face, narrowed a pair of small eyes, and carefully looked at the men and women not far away. However, before he could speak, An Zhi first shouted happily: "Uncle Nine, it's really you, why do you work here?" ”

Hearing this, the security uncle's expression suddenly eased. He smiled and said, "Oh, look at my eyes, I didn't recognize Professor Ning and An Zhi, why did you two come?" The three of us are really fateful, and we can meet them wherever we go to Nanyang City! ”

Ning Yide smiled slightly, and said politely: "Uncle Nine hasn't seen you for a long time, is your health okay?" Is it Fan Zichao's incident that has affected your work? Why did you change here again, will it be far away from home? ”

"That's right, Uncle Nine, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you won't say a word when you change jobs!" An Zhi said with a smile.

Uncle Nine was a little embarrassed and said, "Alas, what do I have to say about this job? It's just to find a place to be more comfortable for money, after Manager Fan's accident, the company cleaned up the colleagues who were close to him, and I was recruited by him, so naturally I couldn't continue to be there. I've only been doing this job for a little over a week, and I didn't expect to meet you! ”

Ning Yi had to say, "Uncle Jiu, are you still doing well here?" ”

Uncle Nine sighed, and said a little frustratedly: "Professor Ning, let's talk about this community, the atmosphere and the quality of the residents are really good, I heard that the people who live here are all professors from Ontari." They are very polite, and they usually don't have a little arrogance with security guards like me. In their spare time, some old professors would come to me to play chess, drink tea, and chat, just like the old neighbors who have lived in them for many years, which is very humane. ”

When An Zhi heard this, he looked at Uncle Jiu's expression and asked puzzledly: "Uncle Jiu, since the people here are very good to you and you also like to work here, why do you seem to be unhappy with a heavy expression?" ”

Uncle Nine was just about to speak, when he heard someone behind him shouting to him: "Uncle Nine, is there any problem?" Need help? ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, it turned out to be another chubby security guard, Uncle Nine shook his hand at him, and said, "No need Huzi, you can go back to the door to be on duty after going to the toilet." I know the two of them, and I'll be back when we're done talking! ”

When the chubby security guard heard this, he smiled innocently and turned to leave. When Uncle Nine saw him walking away, he also took An Zhi and Ning Yide to a pavilion under the shade of a tree to continue their chat. At this time, there was no one around, so Uncle Nine sighed and continued: "Isn't there another accident in this community?" ”

Ning Yide raised her eyebrows lightly and asked, "Something happened?" Uncle Nine, what happened in the community? ”

Uncle Nine said: "Recently, several people in the community have become ill inexplicably, and two of them are sick old men who have died in the hospital. I don't know what evil happened, first Aunt Wang jumped off the building, then Manager Fan was killed, and then the owner here died of illness. You say, is it that I, the person who has opened the coffin shop, has too hard life and will bring bad luck to the people around me? ”

When An Zhi heard this, he said very unhappily: "Uncle Nine, don't talk nonsense about yourself, we are in the 21st century of the new era and new society, and what kind of life is hard or not, it is all the dregs of feudal superstition." These bad things are all coincidental, and we have all encountered them! According to your thoughts, do you want to live as a criminal policeman? They're all heroes, and you're just as good as they are! ”

Uncle Nine was a little amused by An Zhi and said: "I'm a bad old man security guard, how can I compare with the criminal police who are not afraid of death, people are heroes who eat imperial food for the people." Anzhi, don't tease me, old man! ”

Without waiting for An Zhi to speak, Ning Yi smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, An Zhi is right, everyone's job is to protect the safety of the people around them, and there is no distinction between high and low work, don't think about it." The coffin shop has nothing to do with these things, don't believe those old truths! ”

When Uncle Nine heard this, he suddenly said very seriously: "Professor Ning, let's be honest with you, this matter is not my imagination, I have seen strange things in the community, and it really has something to do with the coffin shop!" ”

Ning Yi was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Jiu, what strange things did you see?" ”

Uncle Nine lowered his voice and whispered to them about the strange discoveries he had made in this community. It was when Uncle Nine first came to the community, and the security captain had something to do and needed to change shifts, so he took over the night shift that night. According to the usual practice, the community security guards have to patrol at night, and Uncle Nine went with Huzi to familiarize himself with the environment.

The security guard named Huzi is good at everything, but his stomach is not very good, and he often has stomach trouble. It was the same that night, they had just finished patrolling, and Huzi was clamoring to go to the toilet again, so Uncle Nine continued to patrol alone. Who knew that he was not familiar with the community environment, and he was a little lost after walking for a while.

Uncle Nine forgot to bring his mobile phone that night, it was already more than 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the residents in the community were basically sleeping. After walking around for a long time, he finally saw that on the third floor of a unit, there was a house with lights on, and there was a sound of laughter in the house.

Seeing this, Uncle Nine thought about going to the door to find the owner who had not slept yet, and borrowed the phone. However, because of his previous encounter in the Yongji Building, he did not take the elevator that night, but walked gently down the stairs in the corridor to the third floor. Just as he was about to walk out of the stairwell, Uncle Nine's professional sensitivity and past encounters made him seem to find a dark shadow floating from the elevator to the room on the third floor.

Uncle Nine couldn't help but snort, and the whole person walked forward very carefully, his first reaction was that he was dazzled. That unit is one ladder and two households, maybe it is the reason why the public pool is very large, and the distance between the two households is also very large, Uncle Nine feels colder every time he takes a step, and soon, he finds that the door of the room on the third floor is actually open.

In that room, there was a dim lamp, and a coffin painted with red paint was placed in the center. The coffin was not covered, and when Uncle Nine saw this scene, he couldn't help but tremble, and an inexplicable chill poured from his head to his feet. He opened a coffin shop in his hometown and knew many taboos about coffins, such as not leaving the uncovered coffin empty at home in the middle of the night, which is a taboo that will make the family restless.

Just when Uncle Jiu was so frightened that his legs became weak, something even more terrifying happened, a woman in a black mourning dress suddenly sat up from the coffin. She turned her head and smiled and said to Uncle Nine, "Are you here?" ”

Originally, this kind of scene would frighten a normal person's soul away, but Uncle Nine knew this woman and remembered her vividly.
