Chapter 9: Moonlight

The cigarette ash in Lao Zhang's hand shook: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, just ask." I said it flatly.

"You suspect that I set the fire?" He asked.

"I didn't say that." I stood up: "But sometimes when you see your loved ones suffering from illness and can't do anything about it, this feeling should be more painful than when you are sick." ”

"You're right." Lao Zhang threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and he also stood up: "I hope Jiang Fang won't be so painful, but I won't be stupid enough to do that kind of unconscionable thing!" ”

I was about to say something more when the door opened behind me.

Wei Ping poked his head out and said, "It's coming, come in." ”

When I stepped into the building again, everything was back to normal, and Bright Red came out of the kitchen with a water bottle in her hand. I deliberately looked at her face, and everything was normal, although thin, but there were no scars.

After going upstairs, I glanced at Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang entered the house one step ahead of me.

Shrugging, I opened my door as well.

As soon as I stepped inside, a man pounced on me.

It was a pair of cold hands, like snakes when they grabbed my neck. I fumbled and turned on the light, and I saw that it was her - Jiang Fang.

I hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Fang's face seemed to be plastered with lime, and she grabbed me by the collar and pleaded, "Help us...... Help us...... It's so uncomfortable that thing won't let us go, it's stuck here......"

She kept saying these words in her mouth, and her expression was very frightened.

I soothed her emotions, and Jiang Fang sat down across from me. I asked her what was going on, and she sobbed a few times.

Afterward, she said: "After that fire, I was burned to death, but my soul could not leave here, there was a force that trapped me here. Not only myself, but also the people who were burned to death with us in that fire, they couldn't get out. ”

I frowned: "Strength? What power? ”

Jiang Fang said: "I don't know, that door is obviously in front of us, we walked out, what appeared in front of us was this small building again, we tried many times, and we finally gave up." ”

I asked, "How do you know I can help you?" ”

"From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were different."

I paused: "What's the difference?" ”

"There's something in your eyes ......"

“……”

Suddenly, Jiang Fang hugged her head, I asked her what was wrong, she pointed to my room door and said, "That thing is here again, it is spying on us, it wants to make our souls uneasy!" ”

Looking towards the door, I heard a loud noise.

Looking back at Jiang Fang again, she was still holding her head, and her whole body shrank and trembled.

I turned off the light, and through the crack in the door, I saw a dark figure shaking outside, and the dull sound increased in frequency as it swayed.

Sticking my ear to the door, I also heard a woman's sobbing, as if praying for something, I couldn't hear her through the door, but the voice was familiar, bright red.

Could it be that this dark shadow outside the door is Li Qiang?

After the voice outside the door disappeared, I asked Jiang Fang behind me: "Did Li Qiang die in that fire?" ”

She didn't answer me, and I turned around to find that the room was empty.

Jiang Fang, gone.

Lying in bed, I didn't sleep again, turned on my phone, and the 4G signal was not very good. I scurried around the room, following the best signal.

Finally, somewhere on the balcony, I found a place.

The moon is really round and bright tonight. Looking up at it, there seemed to be a cool light in the disc, as if someone was watching my every move in the night sky.

When my phone finally got a signal, I crouched there and opened the search web to check the news of the fire that happened here three years ago.

Three years ago, a fire caused by an old electrical circuit in an urban village killed many people, including Wei Ping, a homeowner who lived on the third floor, Jiang Fang, a tenant on the second floor, and a mother and daughter on the first floor.

The scene of the death was tragic, because the fire broke out in an urban village, the fire truck could not drive in at all, and after a series of road openings, the car was finally driven downstairs.

But it was already too late, and the four bodies were carried out from inside, already beyond recognition.

After reading the news, I looked up at the moonlight again, and it seemed to be much brighter and bigger than before.

For a moment, I was in a trance.

Back in my room, lying in bed, I didn't sleep, and some questions began to think about in my head.

Jiang Fang said that someone trapped their souls and prevented them from leaving. What is this thing that traps them? At present, what I suspect the most is Wei Ping.

The reason is obvious.

When he didn't get a vested interest, Wei Ping definitely didn't want to move. Those compensation payments are Wei Ping's obsession. In my experience, after death, if a person has a strong obsession and does not understand it, then the ghost usually does not leave.

These ghosts who are reluctant to leave are very likely to not know that they are dead, just like Chen Juan.

If this is the case, then Wei Ping's ghost is likely to be the "thing" in Jiang Fang's mouth, and he locked them in this small building and didn't let them leave, in order to get the high amount of compensation.

Only by eliminating Wei Ping's obsession can this end all.

I don't know if my guess is right, but at least I've found a breakthrough now, which is to start with Wei Ping.

After thinking about it so much, I was also sleepy, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

In my dream, I saw that the moon was very close to me, and it was very big, and a cool air came out of it, and I shivered with cold.

When I went out the next day, I saw Wei Ping in the hall on the first floor, and he was still watching TV in that position. When he saw me out, he nodded at me, his feet still shaking.

Mei Mei saw me and called uncle.

I sighed, and I couldn't bear to think that she had died so miserably at such a young age, so I decided to buy her a lollipop to eat when I came back.

When I went out, the sun was warm outside, and I stretched.

I decided to go to Wei Ping's family, the night Wei Ping died, his wife and children happened to be absent, so to eliminate Wei Ping's resentment and make a meal that satisfies him, I can only find Wei Ping's family, I can find out what he wants to eat.

At this moment, I saw a person in front of me, coming from the back, it was Lao Zhang, he was walking in a hurry, looking left and right, as if he was hiding something.
