Chapter 3: The Dead Clerk
The young man who bought cigarettes was called Populus euphratica, he died in an accident, it is said that there was a rain that day, the road was a little slippery, the young man walked at night and slipped without paying attention, it is estimated that his physique was not good and he fell directly unconscious, and it was unfortunate that his face fell into a broken pit on the road, and the water that was less than a basin inside drowned him.
"New here, we'll be partners in a few days." Hu Yang's words surrounded my ears, making me creepy, as if I saw the scene of falling into a puddle and drowning, this is making friends, this is purely a life talisman.
Hu Yang said help me, is that little girl a ghost, and Hu Yang was killed by that little girl?
My mind was in a mess, thinking back to the little girl I always felt wrong, what was wrong?
By the way, I suddenly thought of it, no wonder it always feels wrong, the little girl's face is green, but the body and back are normal, the light can't pick the face, and it won't hide from the clothes and the back, there is only one possibility.
The little girl is a ghost.
At that time, he also said that Populus euphratica was a human trafficker, which was really wrong to blame the good people, and it was wrong to blame the good ghosts.
I was really a little scared of this No. 4 store, but fortunately, when the time reached 12 o'clock, I immediately closed the door and left, returned to the small courtyard and knocked on Song Gan's door, but there was no movement inside, I don't know where to fool around, so I can only give up the plan to find Song Qian to understand the situation.
The next day, I left a leave note, whether Song Qian agrees or not, I will investigate it, this is my life.
Because of the police records, I quickly found the poplar's home, poplar's home is particularly bleak today, the first seven years just after the black and white photo is still hanging in the hall, and I am about the same age but has been separated by yin and yang, remembering yesterday's help of poplar, I bowed respectfully three times, and then found poplar's father.
"Uncle, I'm very sad about the poplar matter, please take care of your body and mourn the change."
"Hu Yang, this child has been obedient since he was a child, and after graduation, he was anxious to find a job to share our life, but he didn't expect it, and in the end he died."
"Populus euphratica also graduated this year?" My brain buzzed, a little inexplicably afraid, but I still endured it and said, "Uncle, did Hu Yang behave abnormally before leaving?" ”
"It's always been good," he sighed, and then suddenly said, "But I used to drink water very much, and I always said I was thirsty, and I could drink a large glass of water in a few sips,"
Thirsty, my heart trembled, could it be that Populus euphratica provoked that little girl and was ghosted by the little girl? Otherwise, how could she be as thirsty as the little girl, and finally drown in a small puddle.
I didn't ask anything at Hu Yang's house, but I got the address of Hu Yang's previous store manager, and I'm sure Hu Yang must have investigated it like me.
The noisy bus station was full of people, and on the side of the road there were several beggars kneeling on the ground asking for money, and one of them was the most obviously blind, and he was the person I was looking for.
"Are you Liu Yongkang?"
Liu Yongkang suddenly got up in horror: "Don't come here, you have the breath of that thing, stay away from me, get out." ”
Liu Yongkang's words made my whole body cold, and I felt something inexplicable on my body again, so I hurriedly walked up to support Liu Yongkang: "Brother Liu, my name is Qin Ling, and now that Hu Yang is gone, only you can help me." ”
"Sure enough, last time I said that Hu Yang should leave the No. 4 store quickly, but he just didn't listen," Liu Yongkang swallowed his saliva: "Don't ask, leave the No. 4 store quickly, the sooner the better." ”
"I know, I'll quit when I go back, and now it's time for dinner, let's have a meal."
Liu Yongkang finally quieted down when he heard that I had resigned, and he was really hungry, so he followed me to a restaurant, ordered four dishes, and Liu Yongkang began to eat and drink, looking like a demon reincarnated.
After watching Liu Yongkang finish eating, I asked carefully: "Brother Liu, the No. 4 store is really weird." ”
"I'm full, goodbye." Liu Yongkang was about to leave after speaking, but I grabbed him, Liu Yongkang was trembling, shook off my hand and sat down: "Don't touch me, you have the breath of that thing." ”
"What the hell is that thing?"
"What you see is what it is, don't ask me, you know it in your own heart." Liu Yongkang fumbled again to pick up the chopsticks, I ordered a boiled meat again, Liu Yongkang obviously hadn't eaten a full meal for a few days, and asked for a few bottles of beer, I was happy, just after drinking and spitting out the truth, I was too lazy to talk hard.
After a bottle of beer, Liu Yongkang finally spoke: "Young man, I think you are a good person, you are so good to me as a blind man, it is better to resign as soon as possible, it is not good for you to know more." ”
"Brother Liu, how are your eyes blind?"
"I gouged out my eyeballs with my fingers." Liu Yongkang was very uncalm, his whole body was trembling, he took a big sip of wine and said: "Can you imagine, watching your fingers dig into your eye sockets little by little, but you can't stop." ”
I looked at his black hole in the eyes and shuddered for no reason, then continued to ask, "Do you know where that thing came from?" ”
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything, but I'll tell you one last sentence for the sake of you inviting me to dinner." Liu Yongkang held his breath and stared, as if all his courage had burst out: "Don't go to the refrigeration... Yes. ”
Before Liu Yongkang's words were finished, he directly picked up the beer and drank it, one bottle in one breath, and then started to drink the second bottle without panting.
At first, I thought that Liu Yongkang was drinking to strengthen his courage, but then I found that Liu Yongkang's face was already purple, and I immediately realized that it was not good, so I went up to grab Liu Yongkang's wine bottle, but it was too late.
Peng, Liu Yongkang fell to the ground, the beer in his mouth flowed out with white foam, his black eye sockets actually flowed bright red blood, and his purple face looked extremely hideous, he actually drank beer and suffocated to death.
The police soon arrived, and I made a record again, but fortunately, Liu Yongkang was recognized as an accidental death, and I was not charged, but my heart was trembling, and I knew that Liu Yongkang did not die accidentally, but was killed by a ghost.
What is Liu Yongkang going to tell me?
Refrigeration refrigeration, is it a cold room?
No matter what, after seeing Liu Yongkang's death, I really don't want to investigate any further, I want to resign, I must resign, no matter how good my job is, it is not worth mentioning my life.
Returning to the small courtyard as quickly as possible, Song Qian walked up with a smile on his face: "Xiaoling, let's have a good time today, I will tell you a good news, you have turned positive, and the No. 4 store has begun to plan and build, the address has been selected, it is in the middle street of Jianshe Road, it is estimated that the construction will be completed in a year at most, and you will be the manager of the branch at that time." ”
What the?
I was about to leave, I suddenly hesitated, Luye Supermarket is a leading enterprise in the retail industry, the annual salary of the general manager of the branch is hundreds of thousands, plus the commission can be millions, do you really want to give up the opportunity of this turn of fate?
Thinking about the hard-working parents, thinking about the hardships at home, I really can't give up this opportunity, even if it's death, I have to fight, maybe everything is a coincidence, maybe everything is a coincidence, that poplar may really be an accident, then Liu Yongkang may have seen something that shouldn't be seen and was retaliated against before being gouged out of his eyeballs, whether he did it himself is impossible to verify, as for last night, it is likely to be a hallucination caused by being too nervous recently.
Before everything is investigated, I can't use ghosts to cover up the facts, and I finally made up my mind in my heart that I want to continue to do this job: "Brother Qian, you were not here yesterday to run around for me to become a regular, it's really hard for you." ”
"You're welcome, I see that your kid is pleasing to the eye, don't forget me when you become a general manager in the future, by the way, you just turned regular or don't take a vacation, continue to work, otherwise it will be bad to let the villain in the headquarters seize the handle."
When night fell, I came to the No. 4 store of Green Forest Supermarket again, and the door of the store seemed to open the mouth of a demon.
