Chapter 12: My Notebook
It's dawn, my master and I sent Tingting away, maybe she will already be on the way to the Yin City, I can't help but sigh, as the saying goes, 'A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way'What is the difference between women, wealth and wealth have their own destiny, why bother to ask for it!
I helped Xiao Cui pack her bags, we are going to take the weak Xiao Cui back, she can't stay here any longer, Master persuaded the two girls from the neighboring village at the door, although they didn't see the scene of the fight with the ghost last night, but they already noticed that something was wrong, because the girl who was photographed by the door said that she had a headache as soon as she opened her eyes, but there was no scar on her forehead, and they promised Master to leave here, saying that they would go to their village to work in other places.
To be honest, we rural people don't have the habit of eating breakfast, I secretly pulled Xiaocui's luggage to the master's car, the master felt sorry for Xiaocui to buy her some food, let her stay in the car and not allowed to go, Xiaocui leaned on the chair without saying a word, I looked at Xiaocui and felt like crying, she was scared.
The car door closed with a clang, Master locked the car door and led me straight to the hotel lobby, this time we didn't hide, I followed behind Master along the corridor of the hotel restaurant and went straight to the fifth floor, Master said that he wanted to avenge Tingting, he was looking for the boss here desperately! At this moment, I didn't think about anything else, if the master did it, I would be duty-bound to kill this pig and dog of yours as a beast, Lao Tzu really didn't believe that this person was more difficult to deal with than a ghost.
I helped the master to climb to the fifth floor, although he is not that old, as an apprentice I should do this, I still understand the respect and inferiority of the elders.
Climbing up the last step of the fifth floor, Master looked at me with satisfaction and took my hand away, knowing that Master did not dislike me, but wanted to maintain the momentum that a Mr. Yin and Yang should have.
Master and I stood in front of the black lacquered wooden door again, waiting for the boss to show up, who knows when he would show up? Maybe they won't come at all today! But everything is about chance.
At seven o'clock, the cleaning staff appeared one after another, and the relevant employees also began to come to work, they looked at me and Master a few more curiously, but no one came forward to talk, maybe they thought we were friends with their boss! A younger female employee hurriedly cleaned the general manager's office and left, and the older female cleaner hastily dragged the ground under my master's feet and walked away.
I looked at the clean ground that had been dragged under my feet, but the black footprints were becoming clearer and clearer.
'Jingle bell', the elevator door opened, out of a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, about forty-six or seventeen years old, just out of the elevator he took off the glasses on his face and rubbed his eyes a few times to look very tired, when he put on the glasses again, his eyes were bright, a look of not angry and self-authority, to say that the rich man's momentum is different, or to say that the wealth is rich? This must be the boss who killed Tingting.
I watched him come from afar, and suddenly I had the idea of hugging my head and running away, what do you think is the use of our countrymen being bullish, people can stone us to death with money, and then look at the master's expression with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, the subtext, is, 'wait for you brute' I really want to go up and pull the master to run quickly, we can't afford to mess with this stubble!
"What are you doing standing at the door of my office" The middle-aged man's loud voice sounded, this thing is really the boss here, no wonder he walks so awesomely!
I was about to lie that we were passing by, but Master spoke.
"I'm Your Guest"
"Guest, hum," he sneered.
"There are dozens of service managers under me, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I have a knot here that I can't untie and want to ask my boss for a favor"
"Fortune teller or fortune telling, that street corner has to be" The man shook his finger and pointed out the window, I looked at the street opposite the fifth floor, there were really a few fortune tellers looking like charlatans.
"Zhang Tingting died, and she came back here last night, you are in this hotel"
When the man heard this, he was angry, "Who is Zhang Tingting, I don't know, there are few countrymen here to pretend to be ghosts, get out" He said and took out a handful of money from his pocket and sprinkled it on the master's face!
Master was calm in the face of humiliation, I bent down and picked up a few brand-new old man tickets and held them in my hand, this time Master was angry, and he drank violently
"Don't pick up the second egg, put it down quickly" It turned out that his old man thought that I was embarrassed by the opening of Qian Yan, but he misunderstood.
"A countryman is a countryman, he is cheap, and when he sees the money, he immediately becomes like a dog......" He just wanted to laugh, the money in my hand fell heavily on his glasses, and I silently thought in my heart, "This is for Sister Tingting and the Three Tigers."
"Security guard, security guard" The man was about to shout when he was stopped by Master.
"We're not here to fight today"
"I don't know you, you don't come here to fight, you don't cheat money, what are you doing, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling to consume, I raise my hands to welcome, but please go to the hall, I'm here for an important office, you go quickly, otherwise I'll call the police!"
"Did you go back to the office last night?"
"I don't have a habit of working at night"
"It's said that the ghost asks for his life, you see under your feet, at least four women left it" The man lowered his head, the black footprints on the ground were clearly depicted, and the ghost could see that it was not left by man, not to mention this well-informed boss, to say that this person was going to do that bad thing is a weak heart, he was first so frightened that he jumped out of the old high, and the glasses on his face almost shook off, and he was very embarrassed, but after all, he was a big boss who had seen some of the world, and then he pretended to be calm and fine, but his face kept sweating, He really didn't have today's achievements, in the end, he still has some strength, the three of us didn't open their mouths at this time, and if they didn't have anything to say, it was tacit
At this time, the master stared at the man's eyes as if he wanted to get into his eyes, and the master said lightly:
"Such a good business can't last long"
After Master finished saying this, he no longer looked at the man, but walked down the corridor to the elevator entrance, and I could still hear the words echoing in the long corridor after Master, 'Such a good business can't last long'
Before I could figure out what Master meant by saying this to him, I ran out of the hotel with Master, for fear that people would hear this unlucky remark and beat me and Master half to death, but when Master drove me and Xiaocui out of the hotel parking lot, no one chased me out.
"The murderer who killed Tingting is the boss here, let's hurry to the police, I'm afraid he will run away if it's too late"
Master stepped on the accelerator and ran to the district public security bureau where this hotel belonged, and the car ran away, but my heart was still hanging, for fear that he would send someone to fire a black gun at us.
When he arrived at the District Public Security Bureau, Master took great pains to find a policeman who had gone out that night, and he invited Master into his office and asked:
"What's going on, did your family find any valuable clues?"
"Yes, we have found the murderer, he is the big boss of Jinrong Hotel, you guys go to the police, don't let him escape"
"The old man can't go to the police just based on your words, and we can't startle the snake without reliable evidence, not to mention that he is the big boss of Jinrong and a businessman from Hong Kong, not to mention us, even the police of the city bureau don't want to move him, and we are embarrassed" The young policeman refused, as if he was afraid of his power.
"Wait," the middle-aged policeman who was talking to Master that night walked in with a smile.
"What kind of bullshit Hong Kong businessman, as far as I have checked, it is just a local turtle who went out of our local area, went to Hong Kong for a few years, and came back in the emperor's new clothes and became that Hong Kong businessman."
"In recent years, how many murders have occurred in their hotel, every time we go to the police, he obstructs and refuses to cooperate with the investigation. However, he wants to rely on his own money, and wants to cover the sky with one hand in our district, and bring disaster to the people, but I, the director and captain in charge of the criminal police, will not agree."
"What do you mean, Captain?"
"Why don't we check him!"
"Go to the police, first he will detain him, let's not wait for the indefinite arrest warrant, this time I have to peel off his Hong Kong businessman's skin, otherwise I will take the blame and resign."
Looking at the iron-clad and ambitious director, Master and I knew that there was only so much we could do, that we could not fulfill the duties of the police and cross the bottom line of the law, and that the rest could only be done by the police.
In a certain city, a certain district, in a funeral home, a few of our thin people said goodbye to Tingting's body, watching her distorted face become peaceful and beautiful a few days ago, as she said it was a pity to have this beautiful skin, I hope she will no longer worry about money and happiness in the next life, and live a good life in that good family for a few days! Just like many years later, when I was still in front of a kindergarten in this city, a young father picked up his daughter at the door of the kindergarten and walked towards his luxury car, and the girl turned around and kept smiling at me, and kept saying, "Uncle, hello, uncle, hello," isn't this Tingting back then?
Cremated to ashes, transformed into a butterfly, we seem to be able to see her fly away!
The three tigers were holding their sister's ashes, the master was driving the car, and we went home! This sin of wealth and poverty, life and death is about to come to an end.
A few hours later, Master parked the car in front of the big slope a few miles before entering the village, and we got out of the car, and the three tigers walked in front with my sister's ashes in front of us, and we followed solemnly behind us.
The emperor's earth is thick, the sky is full of flying sand, the long-lost homeland, we are back, and the old and young masters of the whole village are looking forward to us entering the village.
They already knew the news of Tingting's death, and they all cried silently into tears, and the whole village looked forward to the beautiful Tingting marrying a city person, enjoying the blessing, and no longer going back to the village to be a mountain person.
I walked into the crowd and saw my mother's feet suddenly soft and pounced in front of my mother:
"Mother, we brought Sister Tingting back"
In the dark room on the east side of the hall of Master's house, Master brewed fragrant camellia and lit three sticks of incense, and Master took out a stack of yellowed and even blackened notebooks from under the table where Master Zu's portrait was painted, and said in a low and sad tone, "These are all ghost hunting notebooks recorded before, but from today onwards, they are all in the past."
The master took out a yellowed notebook without any record, he personally studied the ink, handed me a brush, and then, to the portrait of the ancestor three knocks and nine bows and said: "The ancestor is above, today, there are successors of my master, according to the rules of the door, this note began to be recorded by the disciples, if there is anything inappropriate, please ask the ancestor to punish."
"Erdan, take a pen and record, and you will write the notebook in the future, you listen well, start remembering!"
"Number, thirteen thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven, deceased: Shao Tingting, cause of death...... "I was honestly frightened but I took the brush and recorded it carefully, but when I heard this, the master couldn't stop stopping, I know the master's difficulty, Sister Tingting was raped and murdered to death, how can this be recorded, the master said after some thought:
"The cause of death, death caused by misfortune, died on a certain day, a certain month, a certain year, the end of life is marked with X, the ashes are wiped out by X, and the last column is written:
"The soul of the dead has been transcended and entered the six realms of reincarnation"
