The manager's wife was silent for a long time, as if considering whether to tell me or not, and I looked at her patiently, waiting for her to answer me.

After a long time, she spoke: "I did receive a large sum of money in my card the other day. ”

I quickly asked, "Do you know where this money came from?" ”

She shook her head: "This card is a secondary card for my husband's salary, I won't look at it before, a few days ago I needed money to do his funeral, so I went to check, and found that there were more than 500,000 in it, I quickly checked where the money was remitted from, but I didn't find it." ”

After listening to her words, I was a little disappointed, this money seemed to appear suddenly, and I couldn't even find the account where the money was sent, let alone the person who found the money transfer.

After Xiaolan's death, the family received a sum of money, and Charlene also received a sum of money a few days ago, and they both received a note, what about the manager's family?

"Ma'am, have you ever received any strange notes?" I asked.

She looked at me puzzled, her eyes puzzled, "What note?" ”

"It's a note with red letters on it." I vaguely described it.

"No, I haven't received such a note." She denied it.

I took a closer look at her expression and saw that she didn't look like she was lying, and she told me all about the money, so there was no need to hide it from me if she did receive the note.

"Lu Yan, do you really know the cause of my husband's death?" She asked uneasily.

"I don't know yet." I told her honestly.

She looked a little disappointed when she heard my words, but there was still a trace of emotion in her eyes that I couldn't see through.

"But don't worry, I'll find out the cause of the manager's death." I said again.

Her eyes flashed, I don't know if it was my delusion, I saw a heart on her face, but the next second, she changed to a sad expression.

"In fact, everyone is dead, even if the cause of death is found, what can we do?" Her tone was a little sad, but what she said surprised me.

The husband died tragically and inexplicably, but the wife said that everyone died, and the cause of death was not important, under normal circumstances, didn't they all want to find out the cause of their husband's death as soon as possible, and then avenge their husband?

"Doesn't Madame want to know how the manager died?" I asked.

The manager's wife suddenly realized that what she just said might have misunderstood me, and she quickly explained: "How come, you think too much, how can I not want to know the cause of my husband's death, I just sighed casually." ”

Her expression was a little flustered, I intuitively felt that she was hiding something, I didn't ask much, her reaction would probably not tell me even if I asked, I secretly kept her strange attitude in my heart.

"Don't worry, madam, I will help you find out the cause of the manager's death." Actually, it's also helping myself.

She squeezed out a smile and said, "Then I thank you in advance, if you find any clues, be sure to be the first to tell me." ”

"Madame, don't thank you, this is what I should do, it's not too early, I'll leave first." I said goodbye to her.

She stood up, "I'll send you." ”

"Don't bother." With that, I left the manager's house.

On the way back, I thought a lot, and the manager's wife said that she received a sum of money, but did not receive a note, which is different from the style of the mysterious person, isn't this money given by that person?

Who is the one who gave money to Xiaolan's family?

Does this have anything to do with the boss who never appeared?

These questions have been in my mind, but I don't have the slightest clue.

While I was thinking about these things, I had already walked to the door, the lights inside were on, and I guessed it was Charlene who had returned.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door, but I didn't hear Charlene's footsteps coming to open the door.

Strange, isn't Charlene here?

"Charlene!" I shouted.

But no one in the house answered me.

"Hasn't she come back yet?" I whispered.

I didn't tell anyone about going to the manager's house, I just told Charlene that I was going to do something when I got off work, and let her come back first, these three or four hours have passed, and she should have walked back.

Something can't be wrong, right?

I suddenly thought of the fact that she had received a sum of money, and I quickly took out the key and opened the door.

The lights in the room were turned on widely, but Charlene was seen.

"Charlene?" I shouted.

There was a sound of rustling on the bed, and I looked over and found that the quilt was pushed together haphazardly, still trembling slightly, as if someone was lying inside.

I walked briskly to the bed and lifted the quilt with one hand.

"Ahh The person lying on the bed screamed, and I turned her body over to see that it was Charlene.

"Lu Yan?" She seemed to be a little stunned, looking at me blankly, and after seeing my face clearly, she suddenly threw herself into my arms.

"Lu Yan, why did you come back!"

I was caught off guard by her, and replied after listening to her question: "Didn't I tell you that I would do something and let you come back first, I knocked on the door for a long time and you didn't open it, I thought something happened to you." ”

"I didn't hear that." She buried her face in my chest and whispered.

"You stuffed your whole body into the quilt, it's strange to hear it, it's not time to go to bed yet, what are you doing stuffing yourself in the quilt." I complained.

"Woo, I'm scared." Unexpectedly, the body in his arms began to tremble slightly, and there was a clear cry in his voice.

I felt a little strange, and reached out to pull her out of the words, and sure enough, she saw that her face was full of tears, her eyes were a little swollen, and she looked like she had been crying for a long time, and it seemed that I had started crying before I came back.

Turning his head to look at the pillow on the bed, it was really wet, I really don't know how long this stupid girl has been crying in the quilt.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong? I wiped the tears from her face and asked suspiciously.

She looked at me with big red eyes: "Why did you come back, I'm going to be scared to death, looking for someone who can't find you."

Charlene didn't tell me what happened, just said dissatisfied.

"If you can't find me, I can call me." I said helplessly.

When she heard the mobile phone, she shrunk her shoulders in fear, and then said aggrievedly: "I'm afraid, I don't dare to call you." ”

I was even more puzzled: "What's there to be afraid of on the phone." ”

"I'm just scared." She cried again.

I had to comfort her first, calm her emotions, looking at her frightened appearance, I was a little curious, from the end of work to now, what happened to Charlene?

After her emotions calmed down a little, I asked gently, "Charlene, what happened to you?" ”

She shuddered and didn't speak, but her eyes moved to the ground, and I followed her gaze to the ground, and found her phone lying next to the coffee table.

"What's wrong with your phone?" I asked.

"I threw it." She said.

"Okay, what are you doing throwing your phone on the ground?" I asked her, puzzled.

Charlene didn't speak, just sat on the bed and stared at the phone on the ground, with a look of fear on her face.

I walked over with some curiosity, picked up the phone on the ground, and lit up the screen, but I instantly gasped.

Xia Lin's mobile phone screen is a picture, which looks like a big picture that should be clicked in the WeChat interface, but this picture is a little infiltrating.

The picture is a grimace, with a pale face and delicate facial features, but the eyes are bleeding, and looking directly at the camera, it suddenly looks like a ghost staring at you.

There are a lot of such terrifying pictures on the Internet, and I have been scared by this kind of picture posted by friends before, but I usually feel that it is nothing after looking at it twice, but the more I look at this picture on Charlene's mobile phone, the more I feel weird, the more I look at it, the more scary it becomes, and I even get goosebumps all over my body when I see it at the end.

My scalp is a little numb, and my fingers holding the phone are slightly cold, in fact, it's just a picture, my guts are not so small, a scary picture scares me like this.

What really scares me is that the face on this picture is eight points similar to Charlene, and even the moment I saw this picture just now, I almost thought it was Charlene.

In fact, this picture is Charlene, but this terrifying and weird look does not match Charlene's temperament.

I clicked the exit button above and exited the mode of viewing the big picture, and found that it was indeed sent to her by a WeChat friend of Charlene.

I turned my head to look at Charlene, who was still in shock, and I walked up to her and handed her the phone, but she shook her head.

"It's okay, I've deleted that image." I said.

After listening to my words, Charlene took the phone nervously, I saw her shoulders still trembling slightly, and asked, "You are scared like this when you see this picture?" ”

She sniffed and nodded: "I was looking at Taobao, and suddenly a message popped up in the WeChat interface, and after I clicked in, it was this picture, and after seeing it clearly, I was scared to throw the phone away, and then the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, I wanted to call you and ask you to come back quickly, but I didn't dare to pick up the phone, so I hid in the bed." ”

Seeing Charlene's frightened appearance, and remembering the picture I just saw, I was a little angry, what kind of friend is this, I actually took my friend's photo P into a ghost picture, and sent it to her, as long as it is a normal person, who will not be shocked when he sees himself like this, this friend is too lacking in virtue.

"Who's this guy who sent you the picture? As your friend, doesn't he know that you are timid, this is too much. I said angrily.

Charlene held her phone and said, "I don't know who sent it to me, I threw it out after I saw that picture, and I didn't have time to see who sent it." ”

"Then look at it now, this kind of friend who deliberately scares you, delete it earlier."

"You can help me see it." Charlene shoved the phone in her hand into mine.

I knew she was still a little scared, so I took the phone, opened her WeChat, and found the person who sent her the scary pictures.

"Who is it?" Charlene asked in a whisper.

"I don't know, there's no note." I clicked on that person's friend information and found that his screen name was the name of the note, and Charlene did not give him a note.

I handed the phone to Charlene and asked her to look at it for herself, and she took it and looked at it with some confusion on her face.

"It's strange, why don't I have an impression of who this person is, I don't seem to have added this person." She said to herself.

I listened to her words, and curiously leaned over to take a look, that person's avatar was a black picture, the personal information was also very simple, and the circle of friends was also blank.

"Don't you even remember when you added this person?" I asked.

Charlene shook her head affirmatively: "I'm sure, I haven't added this person, my friends have remarks, and I never add people I don't know, I don't have any impression of this friend." ”

This friend on Xia Lin's WeChat seems to have appeared suddenly, but she set up that adding friends must be verified, and the appearance of this friend is too weird.

"Charlene, why don't you send him a message and ask him who he is." I proposed.

Charlene looked at me and hesitated for a moment before nodding and typing a few words into the chat box.

"Who are you?"
