2. Express delivery from the underworld
"Pomp, your courier!"
In the first week of summer in 18 years, after the high temperature, the first rain was ushered in in Jiangxi, and the streets after the rain were accompanied by the light groaning of the knowledge, and the breeze slowly diluted the breath of high temperature in summer for many days, as if there was a moment of gorgeous blooming in the dark, and the four bodies were all over Thailand.
"Drop the table!"
I sat in the store and watched the TV series boredly, and the love story in the play moved me, an old man born in the 90s, to tears.
"It's almost three, and I'm still looking at this thing!" The courier Li Jun stretched out his head to look at it and said with a smile.
"It's your business!" I know him very well, he is the commissioner of our area, and he usually comes to my store to brag to me when he is not busy. I joked. "Anyway, I haven't been shopping lately, what's there?"
I glanced at the package, which was the size of a palm.
"God knows, take it apart and take a look!" He handed me a cigarette.
I handed him a glass of water: "So idle lately? โ
"This county is a small and broken place, and I can't make a lot of money, it's all uncles and aunts, who uses express delivery." Li Jun urged: "Open it up and take a look." โ
"Okay!" I took a few puffs of cigarette and expertly unpacked the courier.
Soon the package is opened, revealing a door key with a label on one side of the key that reads "5018".
"Rich? Bought a house? โ
I let out a puff of smoke rings, then took a puff.
"Did you send it by mistake?" I glanced at Li Jun, then picked up the parcel from the garbage basket, and took a general look at the information, yes, it was indeed me, and the mobile phone number, name and address were all right.
"Your dad's surprise for you?"
I gave him a blank look: "How many years has my dad been missing?" Which pot do you not open and mention? โ
"Maybe? I read the news, and it was reported that a man's father had been missing for a few years, and when he came back, he brought millions directly, and it turned out that he went to work hard in other places. โ
Me: "ยทยทยทยทยทยท." โ
"You don't believe it? I'll find the news for you! โ
"Don't, don't." I held the guy down and asked him, "Can you help me check the shipping address for this package?" โ
Li Jun's eyes rolled.
I threw him half a pack of cigarettes.
"That must be possible." He took the cigarette and said with a grin.
Then he made a phone call and took a picture of my waybill number, and it didn't take long for the text message to come back, and I leaned over to take a look, only to see that it was written.
"Jiangbo Business Building 5018, Wuming."
"Your father's surname is Wu?"
"."
But as it stands, it means that the owner of this key sent me the key to his house?
Who is this person? I don't know him, why did he give me the keys to his house?
"That's ......." Li Jun's words interrupted my thoughts, but he only said half a sentence, and the rest of the words were actually held back by him.
"You still want cigarettes?"
"No...... No, no. I mean, there should be no one in that house. "
"No one? What do you mean? "
"You may have come back late, and you are not familiar with the county here. There is indeed a business building over there in Jiangbo, but something happened a few years ago, and it has been abandoned and turned into a complete unfinished building, and there will be people living there! โ
"Isn't it? What happened? Could it be that he is not dead? โ
"Damn, it's true, it's just that a person died, it was said to be a murder in a closed room, that guy doesn't know who he offended, the body was dismembered, the head was put in the refrigerator, the other parts were chopped up and rushed into the sewer, and a few bones were not found. Then the building began to have accidents one after another, and some people could hear the sound of slippers moving around the room in the middle of the night. Some people's tables and stools have been moved inexplicably. Anyway, all kinds of ghost things emerge one after another, and all the residents who are harmed move away, and over time, the area becomes a ghost building, and no one goes to it anymore, and then it gradually becomes deserted. โ
I shuddered: "Could it be a prank?" โ
I guess that the case was very fierce at the beginning, and the county specially invited the senior monks of Yunju Temple to come over to do it, and it was really boiling during that time.
"How many years?" I was a little unconvinced, so I took out my phone and opened the webpage to search for this news.
"In '09, you should still be studying at that time!"
"Ah, yes, I was a freshman." I reminisced about what I knew about Yongxiu that year, and then typed a keyword into the web page, and the news popped up in a short time.
"A 23-year-old man from Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province, was dismembered in his house, leaving only his head, and the rest of his whereabouts are unknown." I read the headline out of the news.
"yes, that's it!" Li Jun finished drinking a glass of water and lit a cigarette to himself.
I clicked into the news, and flipped it down little by little, yes, the location is Jiangbo's abandoned real estate, and the house number is also clearly written on it "5018", and there is even the name of the deceased, hey, no, it stands to reason that this name should not be hidden? How can it be written? I was thinking about it, but when I looked at it closely, I only saw two words written on it: "Wu Ming!" โ
