Chapter 169. [Case 20] 300 yuan

Judging from the disc alone, I can't accurately tell what Granny Wang's ghost is grieving about, but I can roughly guess some, if I have such a son, I'm afraid I also feel very sad. The things in the house are basically thrown away except for the bed boards, which originally belonged to the most important inheritance after the death of Granny Wang, but now, it is nothing more than a pile of garbage that does not know where to go.

I put away the compass, because I don't think there is any point in continuing to probe, Hu Zongren and I fought with Granny Wang's ghost the night before, and now we are in the house where it was alive, and it is also around us at the moment, but the disease has not attacked us, which in a way, actually says a lot. So I looked at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and then I walked up to Hu Zongren and the man, and I asked the man, how much is the rent of this house?

Although the rent is not expensive, I really find it difficult to agree with this approach of Granny Wang's son. So Hu Zongren and I planned to take this opportunity to punish him, and seeing that there were still so many hours before the end of work, I proposed that we rent the house, and then I invited everyone to tea.

The man was very happy to see that I was also a cheerful person. Hu Zongren whispered to me, do we really want to give money to this guy? I was scared I'd punch him in the face when I handed it to him. I told Hu Zongren that you should be calm, in the final analysis, this is also a family matter, in this case, we should not use violence to solve this matter. And then I laughed and said, of course, not completely without violence.

I shrugged my eyebrows at Hu Zongren a few times, and Hu Zongren probably knew that I had another ghost idea coming out, so he told me, then listen to you.

So we closed the door and left, the things in the house had been almost thrown away, it was very difficult to take away one or two things to summon spirits, and I just need to make sure that this man can always follow me and Hu Zongren at the moment, then it will be as if we are in the house, and Granny Wang should not do anything to us. On the way to the teahouse, I called President Xu and said that we already knew what to do, and hoped that she would trouble again today, and still close the door when it was time to get off work, and that I would bring someone over today, and the matter would be resolved today.

Perhaps because of the embarrassment last night, President Xu didn't seem to have much confidence in us. But at present, she has no other way than me and Hu Zongren, she told me that the door has been repaired, and this time it should not be broken again. After hanging up the phone, I bought another pack of cigarettes and chatted with this man in the teahouse, which can't be said to smell like each other, because at least Hu Zongren and I think that we are still a little better than him, although we are not good people, but at least we will not be blackhearted to this extent about our own family. Maybe it's because this man knows that he will be able to receive the rent today, so he proposes to invite us to dinner, and I looked at the time and felt that it was almost over, so I said to him, let's go to the bank first, and I'll take out the rent deposit money for you, and then go to dinner. The man did not suspect the slightest and happily followed us.

On the way, I said to Hu Zongren, this guy is too big, I can't clean him up, in this way, I will be responsible for shouting the soul later, you just want to control this man around the ATM, you can't let him run away, you can't let him scream, what can you do? Hu Zongren frowned and thought about it, then quietly glanced at his gossip bag, and then said to me, I still have a little guy here, just let it come out and catch this man later. I ask if it's those ghost fragments that you didn't collect yourself? Hu Zongren said yes, it is not possible to help me solve ghost cases, it is more than enough to clean up the living.

When we arrived at the door of the bank, President Xu was already waiting for us there. Seeing that it was getting dark, I lowered my head and slipped into the half-closed ATM outside the roller shutter. The glass door inside had been repaired, except for a few broken glass shards that could occasionally be found in the cracks in the ground. We walked into the hall, which was empty. At this time, the man had a puzzled expression, and he asked me, why don't you withdraw money directly from the ATM when you are off work at this point? I said to him, because I have a few words to say to you before withdrawing the money. He looked at me suspiciously, and I told him, do you remember? Someone called you last night and said they had just met your mother?

The man's face changed all of a sudden, he held the handle of the chair with his hand, and then asked me, you made the call? I nodded, and then told him that although I hadn't met your mom before the call, I did. The man suddenly stood up a little excitedly and said to me loudly, what nonsense are you talking about? My mom has long been... I answered, is it right to die, I know, what I see is your dead mother, you have been talking nonsense to us since you saw us just now, you have occupied your mother's subsistence card, you have rented her only house, your mother was hospitalized with an asthma attack, you didn't even want to visit the hospital when your mother was hospitalized for an asthma attack, and blamed the neighbors around you for being nosy, tell me how much of a bastard you are!

My tone intensified, and I couldn't help it, because I had put up with him for an afternoon. The man's face turned blue and white for a while, and he wanted to find words to refute it, but he knew that what I said was the truth, and at the moment he was more concerned about whether I really saw his mother. I said that your mother is not tall, very thin, a little hunchbacked, and every month at about this time, she will come to the bank to withdraw money, 260 yuan of minimum security money, am I wrong? The man stopped talking, stood up and wanted to leave, Hu Zongren suddenly pressed his shoulder, and yelled at him viciously, where are you going? If you don't make this matter clear today, you don't want to stand and walk out of this door! Hu Zongren originally had a loud voice, and it was quite scary to launch a ruthless attack. Hu Zongren took two steps back, took out a talisman and burned it between his fingers, then threw the ashes into the gossip bag, then reached into the bag, as if he had grabbed something, and threw it in the direction where the man was sitting.

It was just an action, for I knew that when he reached in, he had wrung out the imp in his own bag. Seeing Hu Zongren's series of strange movements, the man felt very strange, but he didn't feel like he was pretending to be a ghost, so he stood up and wanted to leave like this, but when he stood up, it was as if his feet were trapped by something. He looked down several times to get a look, but found that his feet couldn't move anyway. The man began to shout in panic, Hu Zongren gave him a punch in the shoulder and said, If you scream again, be careful that I put something else to kill you!

So the man didn't dare to move anymore, but just scanned his eyes back and forth between the few of us. I stayed like this until about half past nine in the evening, and the number of pedestrians began to gradually decrease, and as on the first night, Hu Zongren still lit incense and candles for spiritualism outside the door, and I painted on several doors as I did the first night, but only the electronic induction door that had been repaired was left. Because today's starting point is different, yesterday was to catch it, and today is to let it go. I asked the man, did you bring your mother's subsistence card? He nodded, his face was still full of suspicion and horror, so I asked him for the card, but I didn't ask him for the password, I just wanted to return this card to Granny Wang, because at present, Granny Wang's monthly subsistence allowance has become the only obsession I think, but I don't understand why it cares about such a slight 260 yuan.

When the incense candle burned halfway, I escorted the man to the side of the ATM, that is, the position where Hu Zongren first avoided Granny Wang the night before, and asked the man to kneel towards the machine where Granny Wang went straight every time she came in, and told him, after your mother appeared later, you should remember to admit your mistake and apologize to your mother, as a son, you are really unqualified, and then in front of your mother, you will seriously make amends for the wrong things you did when she was alive. Judging by the man's expression, he didn't seem to believe that he would actually see his mother later, so he just perfunctorily agreed to me.

Hu Zongren asked if I could do it? I nodded to him, and Hu Zongren stood near the electronic sensor door that had been repaired, and began to chant a mantra to summon spirits. After reading it three times, I noticed the movement on the compass, and Granny Wang really came. But none of us present could see him. I whispered to the man on his knees, "Hurry up and call your mother's name, and say that I can't see you, mother." He refused at first, and after I kicked him, he had to do so. So I noticed that every time he called his mother, the compass's reaction fluctuated relatively once, so I asked him to keep shouting until his mother woke up, and sure enough, after shouting more than ten times in a row, in front of us, a translucent old woman began to appear facing the man, it was Granny Wang, and the difference from the first night was that its facial features were no longer distorted, but there was a face that looked not much different from other ordinary old ladies, and it seemed to be very wooden, standing there, Motionless.

Obviously, this man did not expect to see his mother again. So I understand that he screamed in horror, usually most people have the same reaction when they see a very definite ghost, but it's not as exaggerated as him. If he was very good to his mother, I don't think he would have to be so afraid, because he knew that he was ashamed of his mother, so he screamed so loudly at this moment. I covered his mouth and said to him, you don't want to roar, have you forgotten what I just told you? Apologize to your mother, let her let her go of her before she can give birth, otherwise she will be by your side for the rest of your life! The man began to kowtow again and again, apologizing to his mother and admitting his mistake, but in my opinion, this apology was not sincere, because his tone was full of fear. It lasted like this for a long time, and a smile appeared on Granny Wang's originally wooden face, and the reaction on the compass was much easier, but I don't know if Lu Dao has been relieved, and should lead the way at this time.

At this time, Granny Wang's ghost was still the same as we had seen in the video earlier, and she went directly to the last ATM machine, tried several times in a row, and wanted to take out 260 yuan. I felt very strange and didn't understand why Granny Wang had to withdraw money, so I slowly approached it and put the subsistence card I had taken from her son in front of its finger, but Granny Wang didn't seem to see me and Hu Zongren all the time, and ignored us at all, so I gave it the card, and it didn't move at all, but repeatedly pressed the number that had been haunting it for a long time: 260.

At this time, President Xu also walked up to me, and she whispered to me, let me try. So I stood sideways, not understanding what Governor Xu was trying to do. I saw President Xu open his shoulder bag, took out three hundred yuan from the wallet inside, and the next time Granny Wang's ghost pressed the number 260, she reached out and handed the three hundred yuan to Granny Wang's hand.

This time, Granny Wang seemed to see the money, and she reached out to take it, but from the beginning to the end, she never looked at the people around us, as if we didn't exist at all. But she took the money, turned around and walked tremblingly to her son, and reached out and handed him three hundred yuan. His son asked me what to do with his eyes, and I nodded and signaled that he should take it, and at this moment, although Granny Wang's eyes were empty, they looked a little kind. The height of the man's kneeling was actually about the same as the height at which Granny Wang was standing, and when the man accepted the money, Granny Wang smiled a little happily, then reached out and touched the man's head, and then stood up, as if none of this had happened just now, and walked straight to the door, wanting to leave.

I nodded to Hu Zongren, knowing that now that Granny Wang's anger has disappeared and her obsession is over, it is time to go on the road with peace of mind, and it was not until this time that I understood that Granny Wang insisted on taking out the 260 yuan, but in fact, it was to give the money to her son. And when I turned to look at the man again, he was burying his head in the ground, holding his head in both hands, and the three hundred dollars in his hand were crumpled like a small ball of paper because he was trying too hard. I sighed, ignored him, and turned my head to see President Xu, who was looking down and rubbing her nose, as if she had a feeling.

Hu Zongren blocked the door with the mouth of the gossip bag, and at this moment I also walked behind Granny Wang, I took out the red rope and knotted a rope sleeve, and recited a mantra to ask Granny Wang to come to my rope by herself, because I wanted to take her away. Granny Wang seemed to understand all this, and before she stepped into my rope loop, she raised her head slightly, then looked at me, and then nodded slightly. I said to Hu Zongren Let me come, it won't run anymore, Hu Zongren stood aside and took back the little ghost tied to the man's feet, and I chanted a spell in front of everyone to send away the ghost of Granny Wang.

After everything was done, I picked up Granny Wang's subsistence card from the machine, handed it to the man and said, your mother is still worried that you have no money to spend until she dies, and it is too late for you to make up for anything now. The man took the card, held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, then nodded slightly, and when he nodded, I saw tears falling into his palm.

Afterwards, I hope that this man is really living his own life, but it has nothing to do with me, because Hu Zongren and I received President Xu's commission on the same day, and then sent Hu Zongren home. Hu Zongren said to me on the way, we will probably have to go out again tomorrow. I asked him puzzled, why are you still coming out, isn't this matter over? Hu Zongren shook his head, took out his mobile phone, pressed the message, and came to me.

When I saw it, I was really surprised.
