Chapter 42. Case 7: There is no justice
In martial arts novels, I often use one word to describe my situation at that time, that is, "say it's too late and that time is fast", and in fact, although I had expected this female ghost to pounce on me when I looked up, I really didn't expect it to be so fast, I thought it must be a fast girl.
When it pounced, it propped its hands on the canopy, and it didn't make a crashing sound that was proportional to its type, but it was very light, like a cat. It tilted its head at me with its mouth wide open, and there was blood on its head, but I could see the bruises on its forehead from rage. Although I know that it is only one because its energy affects me so that I can see it. It was less than a foot from the tip of my nose, and I was scared but still pressed against the window, holding the red rope in my hand, clenching it tightly. It seemed to be growling, but I didn't hear anything, only its mouth wide open. So I plucked up the courage and scolded again, if you don't accept it, you will arrest me if you don't accept it!
As soon as I said this, it reached out to grab me, I was prepared, so I squatted down and retracted my head under the canopy, so that I could avoid its hand and expose its hand to the range that I could tie with the rope, so at this time I quickly used the red rope to cover its outstretched hand, circled a few times and then tightened, in just a few seconds, I was sure that I had caught it, so I bowed my head and shouted to Hu Zongren, pull me in.
When Hu Zongren saw that I had succeeded, he began to pull me in like a turnip, and I fell from the edge of the window to the ground at once, and with a hard pull, I pulled the female ghost into the house and dropped it on the cloth I had prepared before. Judging from Hu Zongren's expression, he also saw this female ghost. After I fell to the ground, I confirmed that the female ghost was in the dressing, so I quickly got up, and then pounced sideways and escaped to Sister Zhu's bed.
I think I must have been in a very handsome posture at the time, just like those awesome cops in the cop movies. It's a pity that in addition to this female ghost, the audience is only Hu Zongren.
The female ghost stood diagonally in the dressing, screaming without making a sound, and her hands kept trying to stretch out and continue to pounce on me, and the cough compress was very strong, and it was able to trap it temporarily. So I said to Hu Zongren, what are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and help. I had just come back from the overhanging place on the 22nd floor, and I had dodged a ghost to catch me, and my legs were already so frightened that I just wanted to rest when I was spread out on the bed. When Hu Zongren heard me say this, he immediately walked to my side, and the female ghost didn't seem to have paid attention to Hu Zongren at all, and was still struggling to pounce on me. Hu Zongren began to put his hands together, his feet lined up in T-shaped steps, and his left and right hands held each other's fingers, and began to chant mantras.
I recognize this spell, it is a requiem. The main purpose is to properly calm the restless ghosts. Hu Zongren's skills are good, and it worked quickly, I saw that the female ghost slowly began to slow down, her arms were lowered, and her shoulders began to shrug one after another, and at this moment I also saw the opening on its belly, located on the left side of the navel, and the intestines and the like could be seen inside, which looked really disgusting, and I also believed that as Sister Zhu said, because of the relationship between falling from a high altitude, it led to a crack in the stomach.
When it calms down, it slowly squats down, and sits down at the last of its head, with its head down and its hands on the ground. Its legs were crossed, and it looked like a decadent person, drunk and resting on the ground. I motioned for Hu Zongren to start questioning, which was different from the ghosts we had summoned, because they had to say what they had to say, and this female ghost appeared on its own, so we were not sure that it would cooperate with our questioning, nor could we be sure that it would provoke it again during the questioning.
From the results of the questioning, it was learned that as Sister Zhu said, this female ghost was the eldest sister of the cleaner who jumped off the building in July.
She was originally a laid-off worker, in the late 90s, because of policy changes, many enterprises were so-called "optimal combination", in order to reduce the redundant labor force for the enterprise, some things that can be completed by two people do not have to be done by three people, so that many employees, especially those with a lower professional level, have become the most dangerous group. The eldest sister of the cleaner said that she originally worked in the workshop of the enterprise, but later because of the purchase of new equipment and machinery on the production line of the factory, the requirements for manual labor were reduced. However, at that time, the factory also considered that most of these employees were old workers, and many of their generation were because their parents had worked in the factory all their lives, and then their children naturally replaced their fathers' jobs. For layoffs, the company still had some resettlement plans. When the first layoff was made, the eldest sister of the cleaner was not among them, but because the workshop had less demand for manpower, she belonged to the technical worker, so the factory transferred her to work as a warehouse keeper.
She told us that at the beginning, their factory mainly produced accessories for cars and motorcycles, but these skills were gradually eliminated. Ben came to the warehouse as a warehouse clerk is also a quiet job, only need to order goods on time every day, and do not have to endure the roar of the machine and the pungent smell of oil. She said that although her salary income has not changed much, she has encountered soaring prices in those years, and the prices of many products have become unbearable for her, and she gradually realized that her salary is not enough to live.
At the beginning of 2000, the company once again carried out the so-called "optimization combination", and this time she could not escape it again and became a layoff employee. The leader at that time said very well, saying that they would be recalled in the future, but it still could not change the facts. So the social security and medical insurance of the eldest sister of the cleaner were stopped, and she has no place to live since then. The eldest sister said that if she had done odd jobs, she could still barely make ends meet, but if she had paid social security and medical insurance for many years, she would have no security at all when she was older. The vast majority of companies that hire temporary workers do not pay these benefits. So since the second month after being laid off, she has taken care of two jobs at the same time, one is to work as a cleaner in various large shopping malls and department stores or supermarkets, and the other is affiliated with a housekeeping service company, specializing in cleaning residents who are unwilling to clean by themselves, and she even once took on the work of clearing and removing slag from those newly renovated houses. The eldest sister said that during that time, she was busy from morning to night every day, although she was tired, but her income was much more than that of her previous work in the factory, and the extra part could allow her to renew her medical insurance and social security in her own name.
When I said this, I couldn't help but want to complain, I still have no medical insurance and social security, because I have seen others calculate an account, according to the minimum number of years to pay social security for 15 years, and the retirement age is 60 years old, then I must live at least to 75 years old to be able to get back the social security money I paid. And now, although people are generally old, there are still many people who do not live to the age of 75 or even to retire. Before that, it was paid for nothing. Medical insurance is even more so, big hospitals do not recognize local hospitals, urban hospitals do not recognize districts and counties, as soon as medical insurance is mentioned, let you be hospitalized, the reason is that this can be reimbursed, but you can use self-paid medicine, a cold infusion can be cured for thousands of yuan, where is the superiority as I really don't know.
The eldest sister then told us that a few days before she committed suicide, she was inexplicably absent from work because she forgot to clock in at work, and the foreman who remembered the absenteeism was obviously with her that day. Originally, the fine was only a few dozen yuan, which was actually nothing, but I thought about it and felt unconvinced, just to eliminate the absence of the fine can be paid, so I appealed to the foreman, and after being rejected, she continued to appeal to the leader, and repeated many times, so that those leaders thought she was very calculating, and began to dislike her, and made it difficult for her in every possible way at work. She said that the area where she worked was in the supermarket in the mall, and because of the trabbling behind the villain, she began to be framed for some inexplicable crimes, such as not working seriously, arguing with customers, and even stealing. For these reasons, she complained to the leader again and again, this is for what is it, Sister Zhu has seen her in and out of the leader's office several times. And on the day she committed suicide, she was severely humiliated by the leader and foreman in the office, and was punished for standing, she was in her forties, and she felt very humiliated. And it wasn't until that time that I realized that the leader didn't help her at all, but wanted to force her to leave her job in this way. I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I climbed onto the windowsill and jumped off.
Hu Zongren asked her, but in this case, why do you want to pester Sister Zhu? People are kind people who give you water. The eldest sister of the cleaner said that in the last little time of her life, there were many people passing by her, and most of them seemed to feel that they were unlucky, and they walked around, only Sister Zhu gave her a little warmth and kindness, even if it was only a little. She said that since she was the last little time, she had to bring something beautiful to go, but she lacked the way to express herself, and her death was already miserable, so after getting the worst, it became scary. She said that she didn't have the idea of harming Sister Zhu, but simply wanted to use her own way to say thank you.
It is recognized by all factions that the ghost of suicide will be repeatedly tormented by the same time as when he died. I think it's also because of this that every time it bypasses the way that Sister Zhu and his wife perceive, it looks so terrifying. I've never believed that dead people tell lies, and in fact I've never been deceived by a dead person in all these years, in other words, sometimes I even feel that the dead are more honest and sincere than the living. They express their demands in their most direct way, and what they lack the most is those of us who can understand their hearts.
Since it was a suicide, it could not be sent away. Hu Zongren collected his soul into the gossip bag after leading the way in the usual way, and waited for a week after the anger was gone, and then chose an auspicious day to see him off alone.
Hu Zongren and I helped clean Sister Zhu's room and mended the opening in the canopy, because we knew that it would never be opened again. After the end of the night, it was a new day, and we sent the key to Sister Zhu and her husband overnight, and conveyed the gratitude of the eldest sister.
Afterwards, Hu Zongren and I entrusted a friend relationship to put pressure on the leader of the shopping mall, and Hu Zongren even did something to scare the leader into paying enough pensions, but so what, although he was not a murderer, his actions were no different from murder, and the rest of his life should be left to endless fear and self-blame.
After receiving the honorarium, Hu Zongren invited me to dinner, and he kept boasting about how happy he was when he was the leader of the group, and by the way, he also praised my elegant figure in the air. Despite the hippie smile, Hu Zongren told me seriously that he really hoped that we would not encounter such a ghost in the future.
I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I will be sad because there is no justice."
