Chapter 4: Dead
On that note, I learned that the previous elevator manager's name was Zhao Guocai, and that he lived in a very remote area, in the bungalow area of the city that had not yet been demolished.
Pushing open the door and walking in, I heard a woman's crying in the distance. I said to the room, "Excuse me, is this Zhao Guocai's home?" ”
Suddenly, the woman's crying stopped, and in the middle of the night, a woman walked out of the room in her slippers, her eyes red and swollen, and she stretched out her sleeve to wipe the undried tears on her face.
She said: "I am Zhao Guocai's daughter, may I ask who you are?" ”
I slapped my thigh, and it was a no-brainer! Zhao Guocai's daughter is here, but it's easy to do.
I warmly shook her hand and said, "Hello, hello, I am the elevator administrator of Building 4 of Fenglin Haojing, and I came to visit Brother Zhao." ”
Brother or Brother is just an honorific title, after all, I've never met him before.
Zhao Guocai's daughter nodded and said, "Oh, then you can come in with me." ”
I was very excited in my heart, after all, it seems that Zhao Guocai's daughter is a warm-hearted person, and her daughter is already like this, and Zhao Guocai himself should be no worse, he will definitely be able to help me get through the difficulties.
When I walked into the house, I was stunned, and I stood there stupidly, my heart pounding.
On the table in front of me was a black-and-white photograph, a face I remember vividly, the old man who blew his beard at me that night and stared at me and insisted that I close the elevator door.
I was completely stupid and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Zhao Guocai's daughter looked at me sadly and said, "My father, Zhao Guocai, passed away two months ago. ”
I trembled for a while, almost sat down on the ground without a butt, looking at the old man Zhao Guocai in the black and white posthumous photo, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Guocai died two months ago, so when I was on duty in Building 4 in the middle of the night a while ago, what happened to the old man I saw?
Zhao Guocai's daughter thought that I was here to worship him, but when she saw my stunned face, she said to me: "Alas, my father was a physical education teacher when he was young, he was kind and cheerful, and he never did a bad thing in his life, he is the pride of everyone in my family." When he applied for the elevator manager's job, he said that he was only on the night shift, how could I believe that my father would actually commit suicide? There must be something tricky about this, I have already entrusted a lawyer, and Fenglin Haojing Property Company must give me a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, I'll have to ...... with them."
Xu was caused by thinking of her father, and before she finished speaking, she was already crying bitterly.
I gasped and thought that I had better not say a word about this, so I comforted her for a while, and then casually found a reason, and said that there was still something to do, and hurriedly left.
After returning to Fenglin Haojing, lying on the bed in the dormitory, I pondered this matter repeatedly, it stands to reason that Zhao Guocai is living a good life, his children and grandchildren are around his knees, and he is old and promising, how could he commit suicide after being an elevator administrator for a while?
Could the old man I saw when I was on duty before not Zhao Guocai at all? I didn't say anything about Zhao Guocai to Song Ming at all, even if I did, it would be the same as not saying it.
I opened my phone and played a song by Wang Jie's "A Game, a Dream", and I was just about to fall asleep with the music, when I turned over and was suddenly choked by something.
I casually copied the things under my body, threw them out without looking, and shouted: "Be fucking honest, don't mess with Lao Tzu!" ”
I looked at it suddenly, and found that there was no one in the dormitory at all, and then I turned my head to see what I threw out, red, dirty and old, it turned out to be the high heels I threw out the window before I went to the night shift yesterday!
I hurriedly ripped off my headphones, jumped out of bed, picked up my heels, and examined them carefully.
Carefully recalling the situation in the middle of last night, the more I recalled, the more scared I felt.
It seems that the most important thing now is to send the purple gold necklace, gold bracelet and makeup bag, as well as this pair of high heels, back into the elevator and not leave them around.
The most important thing is that I have to quickly make up for the 3,000 yuan that has been spent in the bank card and put it back in the elevator.
It's a pity that the money spent is like water spilled out, I can't raise these money, and when I was at a loss, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I saw a familiar name in the WeChat address book, Huang Ying.
She owes me a sum of money, just enough to make up for the three thousand dollars spent.
It's been a year since I last contacted her, and I don't even know if she is still using this WeChat.
Tentatively typed a line on the screen: Hi, Huang Ying, can you pay me back the money you owe me now? I have a fatal urgency that needs to be dealt with immediately.
Unexpectedly, ten seconds later, she replied: Wang Jie, you disappeared for a year, I thought you were dead! Hurry up and tell me the exact location, I'll get to you now!
Huang Ying, a sexy and coquettish young woman, lives in the community of the property company I used to work for. There is an indissoluble bond between me and her, both friends and enemies.
She was my only friend of the opposite sex.
When Huang Ying appeared in front of me, it was exactly three o'clock in the morning, and unsurprisingly, the number of people taking the elevator in the corridor began to increase.
I've fantasized about a hundred reunions with her, but I never thought it would be in such a desperate situation as mine.
I said, "Don't come unharmed." ”
"You are so ruthless, throwing me down is like evaporating from the world, looking for you on WeChat and not finding you, going to the company where you used to work to find you, and saying that you resigned!"
"You're with that guy?"
"Yes, but I can tell you that I'm still a single nobleman before I'm married."
I haven't seen her for a year, but Huang Ying is still quick to talk, I went straight to the point and said, "I'm in big trouble right now, and I need that money very much." ”
Huang Ying looked at me with a cigarette in her mouth, her high heels crackling on the ground, and with interest.
Suddenly, a biting evil wind blew in from the window, and I shivered, and I looked at her helplessly, my palms were full of sweat.
As soon as Huang Ying heard me say this, her casual expression immediately picked it up, stretched out her hand and made a handshake gesture to the air beside me, and kept nodding her head to say yes.
I'm confused, what is Huang Ying doing?
She stood in front of me as if someone else was talking to her.
At first, I thought Huang Ying was scaring me, but she kept shaking hands for nearly five minutes, nodding her head all the time, and she ignored me no matter how I talked to her, as if there was a big living person standing next to me.
After a long time, she put her hand down, turned her head to look at me, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "Wang Jie, your little girlfriend is good, she can speak well, she looks so beautiful, you can talk about it well, how did you meet?" ”
I was so shocked that my eyes almost fell off. I stood in front of Huang Ying like I was stupid, and I didn't answer her for a long time, she was a little angry, and said, "Wang Jie, why are you looking at me like this?" I'm not upset that you have a girlfriend now, what's the matter, you're still upset? ”
Huang Ying's tone was very stiff, and she could see that she was a little angry at her expression.
I was helpless, terrified, and didn't know what was going to happen next.
After a while, Huang Ying threw the unfinished half of the cigarette on the ground, and for a while the sparks splashed everywhere, and she was completely anxious and said: "Wang Jie, you owe me, do you know?" I have a deep dependence on you, I have said it a thousand times ten thousand times, I can't do without you! Yes, I admit that I did not accept your confession a year ago, but that does not mean that I have no future with you! Tell me about you, as for you? Don't even let out a fart, just leave! ”
The more Huang Ying spoke, the more impatient she became, and she could hear that these were the words she had suppressed in her heart for a year.
Coincidentally, at this time, the time was just two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the strange man who had disappeared for a long time walked to the elevator door and smiled at me.
The taste was like straight hairs all over my body, and I pulled Huang Ying, who was still angry, to the side, and asked urgently, "What did you see beside me just now!" ”
Huang Ying was stunned, looked me up and down, and said solemnly, "A young and beautiful girl." ”
