Strange Tales (6)
"As soon as I came back yesterday, I told him."
"Alright, you can get busy, thank you."
As soon as the driver left, Shanshan collapsed on the bed and let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong with you?" Sha Tin Han asked with concern.
After a while, Shanshan sat up, smiled bitterly, and said, "From now on, I will never drink again." ”
She stood up and paced a few steps around the room and asked Sha Tin Han, "Why didn't you call Shen Qi yesterday?" ”
"Can't get in touch with her."
Shanshan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you often lose contact with her?" ”
"Not really."
Somehow, Shanshan always felt that this matter was a little strange. She picked up the phone in the room, asked for the phone number of the real estate company where Shen Qi worked, and then dialed it.
"Who are you looking for?" The other party asked politely.
"Please find Shen Qi."
There was a moment of hesitation, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm her classmate, and I'm looking for her."
The other party hesitated again and said, "She's gone." ”
"She's gone? - Are you saying she's not in the company now? Or is she no longer working in your company? ”
There was longer silence again.
"What the hell is going on?" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Shanshan's heart.
"She's—died."
"What?!" Sansa was shocked. "How did you die? Tell me quickly! ”
At this time, Sha Tin Han also looked at Shanshan with wide eyes.
"He died the night before yesterday, and he said that he was a suicide, and we can't figure it out."
Shanshan put down the phone and looked at Sha Tin Han, and for a while they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Shanshan asked first, "How did you know?" ”
Sha Tianhan lowered his head and whispered: "You know I don't like her, I didn't call her on the phone, so I didn't call the company again." ”
"Then what I saw yesterday was—"
Sha Tin Han was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Don't scare me. ”
"But I really saw her yesterday."
Then, Shanshan told Sha Tin Han the scene of seeing Shen Qi last night.
"Oh my God! How could such a thing happen? ”
"Didn't you say you believed in such a thing?"
"But it happened to me, too-"
The two were silent for a while, and after a while, Sha Tin Han said, "She said she would come to you in a few days?" ”
Shanshan nodded inherently.
"It looks like she hates you, you have to be careful!"
"Now it's your turn to scare me."
"I'm not scaring you, you really have to be careful. If Shen Qi really committed suicide because of you and became an ordinary lonely ghost, it's fine, but if you increase your mana somewhere and become a powerful ghost, you won't be able to eat and walk away. ”
"So what do you say?" Sansa was a little overwhelmed.
Sha Tin Han thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll figure out what's going on first, and then figure out how to do it." ”
After Sha Tin Han left, the more Shanshan thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and she felt a little scared when she stayed in the room. It was easy to wait for Jin Haoran to finish talking about work, and she hurriedly called Jin Haoran over.
Jin Haoran saw Shanshan's panicked expression, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Shanshan told Jin Haoran about Shen Qi in detail, and Jin Haoran was speechless for a long time after hearing it.
Seeing that Jin Haoran couldn't do anything, Shanshan sighed and said, "It seems that I'm finished." ”
"What's over?" Jin Haoran said with a smile. "Who told you to be nosy? If you ask me not to invest, I won't invest, why do you still care about her business. ”
"I don't want to see her hurt anyone else."
Jin Haoran thought for a while and said, "Okay, who made me fall in love with you." ”
"Do you have a solution?" Sansa seemed to see a silver lining.
Jin Haoran nodded and said with a smile: "However, you have to promise me to be less nosy in the future." ”
"He's a journalist."
Jin Haoran shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more. He picked up his phone and dialed a number, and Sansa heard him say that he was going to pick someone up.
"Who is it?" Shanshan asked.
"You'll know when you come." Jin Haoran smiled mysteriously at Shanshan.
After a while, Sha Tin Han called.
"It's all confirmed that Shen Qi really committed suicide. I have a friend at the Public Security Bureau, and he told me that before she committed suicide, she was scolded by Tan Gaohao in front of many employees of the company, saying that she was not successful enough to fail. Shen Qi may not be able to stand this stimulus and commit suicide. ”
Shanshan listened quietly, silently.
"Are you listening?"
"I'm listening."
"You have to be careful!"
"Got it." Sanshan's mind was in a mess right now, and she mechanically agreed and hung up the phone.
Shanshan had no appetite, they had a hasty dinner, and Jin Haoran sat in the house with Shanshan. It was almost midnight, and the driver came in and said, "He's here." ”
"Invite him in." Jin Haoran hurriedly stood up and said.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a clear face walked in.
"Master Zhao, hello!" Jin Haoran hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. "This is my girlfriend Xu Tingshan."
"Hello!" Sansa said politely.
Master Zhao listened to Jin Haoran's introduction to the original situation and was silent for a while.
"Is it hard?" Jin Haoran asked.
"It's not necessarily difficult, it's just that something is unusual."
"What's out of the ordinary?"
"A ghost who has just died, even if it is a horizontal death, will not have a lot of mana at the beginning. Shen Qi has just died for a day, how can she appear in a brightly lit hotel with people coming and going, and taking pictures with so many people, isn't she afraid of being swept away by yang energy? I saw just now that Miss Shen is not very yin, and judging from her face, she is not haunted by ghosts now. ”
Jin Haoran looked at Shanshan and asked Master Zhao again, "Then what do you say is going on?" ”
Master Zhao thought for a while and said; "I'll take a look at Yuxinyue Bay tomorrow."
"Will it be okay tonight?" Sansa asked worriedly.
Master Zhao smiled, "Don't worry, Miss Shen's life is in danger." In fact, ghosts are born from the heart, and many people say that seeing ghosts is just an illusion, just seeing a ghost in their hearts. If you don't mess with it, how can you let you see. ”
"The ghost in my heart?" Shanshan asked, puzzled.
"There are things in my heart that I can't let go, and people who can't let go sometimes have hallucinations. You remember when you see the impossible
When it comes to worldly matters, you must keep your mind steady and think clearly before making a decision. Sometimes, don't easily believe what you see. ”
Jin Haoran opened a room for Master Zhao, and Master Zhao went back to rest.
"Can you sleep on your own?" Jin Haoran asked Shanshan.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep, so I'll just accompany you." Jin Haoran said with a smile.
That's just as well. Shanshan thought that she would spend this night alone, let alone sleep, and she would be scared to death.
"It's okay if you want to stay with me, but don't touch me."
"Of course, we have an agreement."
Shanshan lay down on the bed and said, "In that case, you should go to bed early." ”
"Why don't you take off your clothes?" Jin Haoran asked.
Shanshan glared at him, "What do you want to do?" ”
"You don't feel comfortable sleeping like this, and I haven't seen you like that."
Shanshan remembered the situation in Jin Haoran's office a few days ago, her face flushed, and she turned her head away and was silent.
"What do you think of Master Zhao's words?" Jin Haoran asked.
"If what Master Zhao said is true, then this matter is indeed very strange."
"When Master Zhao comes back from Yuxin Moon Bay, it may be clear." It seems that Jin Haoran has great hopes for Master Zhao.
"No, I'll look into this tomorrow too." Shanshan said.
Jin Haoran wanted to say something, but when he saw Shanshan turn over, he shook his head with a wry smile, pulled the list and covered Shanshan; Sha Tin Han came to work very late, and as soon as she arrived at the unit, her colleague Xiao Li told her that a classmate had come to look for her.
"Which classmate?" Sha Tin Han asked.
"It's the female reporter who looked for you last time, and she waited for you for a while."
Sha Tianhan remembered that the mobile phone had not been turned on yet, so he quickly took out the mobile phone and turned on the power.
"What did you tell her?"
"What can I say?" Xiao Li said in a long voice. "She has made us miserable, and she wants me to greet us with a smile."
"That's not all her to blame." Sha Tin Han said and began to call Shanshan.
"Is that to blame for luring the wolf into the house?" Xiao Li muttered quietly.
"Sanshan? Looking for me? ”
"I went to you to ask you to introduce me to your friend from the Public Security Bureau."
Sha Tin Han hesitated for a moment and said, "He is on a business trip today, and he may not be back until a few days." ”
"Ah, it's okay, I didn't find you, I contacted another friend."
"Really? So when to go to the Public Security Bureau? ”
"Right away."
"This city has changed a lot in the past two years, you are not familiar with this place, be careful, or I will accompany you?"
"No need, I've already hurt you a lot." Sansa said apologetically.
Sha Tin Han thought, Xiao Li must have complained to Shanshan about something, Xiao Li is really talkative. However, Sha Tin Han really didn't expect that after Shanshan sent the internal reference, the city would be held accountable, and the planning and approval personnel would be affected, and she might not be able to be the section chief. She sat at her desk in a daze, pondering for a long time.
Shanshan wanted to start with Shen Qi's death to find out what was going on, but the Public Security Bureau couldn't figure out the truth of the matter anyway without acquaintances.
Fortunately, Shanshan remembered that her colleague had come to interview the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and soon contacted the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau through him
Captain Qi Tongzhao.
Qi Tongzhao is in his forties this year, wearing a crisp police uniform, looking shrewd and capable.
"You want to know about Shen Qi?" As soon as Qi Tongzhao came up, he asked straight to the point.
"yes, I'm sorry for your trouble." Shanshan said politely.
"Why are you so interested in Shen Qi's death?"
"We were high school classmates, and her death felt quite sudden to me and I wanted to know why."
Qi Tongzhao nodded and said, "Two days ago, a classmate of hers from middle school also came to inquire about this. ”
It must be Sha Tin Han. Sansa thought.
"What is the conclusion of the Public Security Bureau on this matter?"
"There's no conclusion yet."
"Isn't it suicide?" Sansa was a little surprised.
"On the surface, it seems to be, but there are some doubts."
"What's the doubt?"
Qi Tongzhao smiled: "I'm sorry, I can't say this." ”
"Then how she died, this can always be said."
"He fell to his death."
Shanshan thought for a moment and asked, "Did anything unusual happen to her before she died?" ”
According to the company's employees, Shen Qi had a big quarrel with her boss Tan Gaohao in the company on the afternoon before her death, saying that it was for a report. Tan Gaohao said that Shen Qi deliberately harmed him, and Shen Qi also cried and made a fuss. ”
Looks like I really hurt her. Sansa thought.
"When did she die?"
"At 11 o'clock at night, in addition to the fall injury, there were other blunt force injuries on the body, we asked Tan Gaohao if he had beaten Shen Qi, Tan Gaohao flatly denied it, this is currently under investigation."
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, call me if there's something." As he spoke, Qi Tongzhao handed over a business card.
On the way back, Shanshan always felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't say where it was.
"Is Mr. Jin at the hotel?" Shanshan asked the driver.
"He's going to the grassland today, and he may not be back until the afternoon."
Shanshan's mind is very messy now, and she really hopes to discuss it with Jin Haoran. In her heart, Jin Haoran's position seems to be becoming more and more important.
Master Zhao didn't know what was going on, did he have any results?
When she arrived at the hotel, Shanshan got out of the car and walked into the hotel alone.
As soon as she walked into the lobby of the hotel, there seemed to be a person walking by, and then Shanshan smelled a strange fragrance. What brand of perfume is this? She subconsciously turned her head to look. Didn't see anyone.
She looked around, there was something strange in the hotel today, there was no one, not even a waiter in the bar.
Poor management, Sansa thought.
She walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the eighth floor. The elevator began to rise slowly.
Speaking of Jin Haoran, it's a bit superstitious, it's true, it always takes eight floors to book a room, saying that this is his auspicious number. Shanshan once raised the bar with him: "What if there is no eighth floor? ”
"Then I'll find someone with eight floors to live in." Jin Haoran did not show weakness.
"What if that city didn't have eight floors?" Shanshan also knew that it was unlikely, but she had to be angry with Jin Haoran.
"There's always a room with eight numbers."
The eighth floor arrived, and Shanshan stepped out of the elevator.
What's going on, it's so dark in the hallway that it doesn't seem to be able to even let in the light from the window.
Shanshan walked slowly forward with her senses, as if she had walked for a long, long time before she got used to the dark environment and could see a little clearly.
She turned her head to look at the number.
1205, huh? Not the eighth floor.
This hotel has a total of 12 floors, so she came to the top floor.
No wonder it's so dark. Sansa thought to herself.
She reached back to the elevator and tried to call it back.
Somehow, the elevator never gets back to this floor.
"Do you want my help?" Talking to someone behind her, Shanshan was startled, she didn't expect there to be someone else here.
It's a woman's voice, and it's a little familiar. Shanshan trembled a little, and she slowly pretended to be.
Oh, my God! It's Shen Qi! Standing only half a meter away from her.
"Y-What are you going to do?" Shanshan said tremblingly.
"I'll help you." Shen Qi said with a smile.
"You, you, what are you helping me?" Sansa panicked even more.
