Chapter 49. Case 9: Eccentric mother

I don't know if anyone feels the same way as me. When you open a local livelihood news, you will often see the following scene.

When a reporter was interviewing an aunt, what are you doing here, a group of aunts next to him were talking about similar things, so that if you don't have subtitle prompts, you don't know what these people are talking about. Especially those aunts in their forties and fifties, obviously interviewing Aunt A, Aunt BCD was just watching the excitement on the sidelines, but they also talked as if they were interviewing themselves.

This phenomenon is accurately positioned by my sister Cai: menopause.

Medical studies have shown that women have more than 400 kinds of estrogen in their bodies, and when the secretion of these hormones gradually decreases or even stops with age, it will bring a series of changes to women's body and mind, causing physical and psychological emotional disorders, causing them to become agitated, irritable, nagging, and trying to win attention. Most people my age have been nagged endlessly by their own parents, and even the slightest trivial thing has become as serious as the sky has fallen in their eyes.

I used to use a miraculous liquid that I used to brag about in TV commercials, but I found that it didn't work at all. Most menopausal women have the above emotions because they are too concerned about their families and children. But if this concern has reached a pathological level, it can be on the verge of madness.

So the story I'm going to talk about today is the story of a menopausal aunt.

For a week after the lynx was caught, I told almost every master I knew about the feat of catching the lynx, and although the problem was not solved at the root, there would still be strange ghosts like the lynx in the future if I didn't do anything. However, I don't know feng shui, but Hu Zongren's understanding of feng shui is beyond his ability, so the two of us pondered whether we could use Master Situ's connections to give the local municipal and construction departments a little improvement advice, of course, I can't know this, this kind of obscure project, we ordinary people generally don't know the way.

A week later, Hu Zongren called me to tell me that a new case had come, and this time the case was relatively close to where Hu Zongren lived, so I was asked to go directly to it myself. So at noon that day, Hu Zongren and I met at Nanping Pedestrian Street, and after enjoying a family bucket, we called the victim and said that he would arrive in ten minutes.

In the past few years in Chongqing, Hu Zongren has become more familiar with the Nanping area than me, and he has no hesitation or strangeness in the old roads in Nanping. Ten minutes later we were downstairs at the victim's house. On the way, Hu Zongren told me that the victim's surname was Wang, and she was a young girl, who must be good-looking and in good shape. I asked him if you had met with someone in advance, otherwise how would you have known so clearly. Hu Zongren said that when there is a sharp contrast between the woman in your family and the woman in the outside world, you will develop the ability to listen to voices and recognize people. Hu Zongren even boasted to me that he could now accurately determine how old a woman is, or even how much her bust is, just by looking at her back.

I'm a more traditional and rigorous person, so it's impossible for me to learn Hu Zongren's shameless skills like **, so I listened extra carefully when I asked him how to judge.

Called Miss Wang downstairs and she came downstairs to pick us up. When I met her, I had to say that Hu Zongren's judgment was still very accurate, this girl is a typical Chongqing girl who looks very spicy without makeup, her figure is not tall but very uniform and plump, she is about twenty-four or five years old, from the way she wears a pair of glasses, I think she may have just graduated from college. With regular straight hair and burgundy ends, I wouldn't say that this girl has a high rate of turning heads in the crowd, because there are too many beauties like this in Chongqing.

After following Miss Wang upstairs, she squatted down and took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet for me and Hu Zongren. Then he took us straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Then she crept to the door of one of the rooms, closed it gently, and I noticed that there were still dishes and chopsticks and food on the floor at the door. The house is cleaned and the decoration style is relatively elegant, so I judge that the family's economic conditions can be regarded as well-off, and maybe the level of knowledge and culture is relatively high. On the wall of the living room hangs a group photo, which shows Miss Wang and an aunt who looks to be in her forties and fifties, which seems to be a group photo of their mother and daughter. There is also a framed photo on the decorative shelf next to the TV stand. The content of the photo is also the mother and daughter, since the man is not found in any photos, so I think it may be a single-parent family, Miss Wang's father may have died or divorced at an early age.

From Miss Wang, I got confirmation that Miss Wang's father had divorced her mother when she was young, so it was her mother who brought her up for many years. It is precisely because she has to take care of herself that her mother has not remarried for many years. I looked at the appearance of the aunt in the photo, in fact, she looks very similar to Miss Wang, she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, and there should be no shortage of suitors. Miss Wang said that she came to us this time because of her mother.

She said that her mother was the person she cared about the most and the person closest to her. And my mother has become very strange lately, and sometimes it doesn't even feel like the same person. She told us that although her mother was always nagging, she always liked to talk to herself, and once she started, she couldn't stop, so she had to say the words in her stomach comfortably. At first, I also felt annoyed, and I quarreled with my mother a lot about it, but then after being admitted to college, I went to study in other places, and there was no mother's chatter around me, and after graduating from college, I was more mature than when I was younger, so I gradually understood that my mother's chatter was actually for her own good, but she talked a little more, and it didn't hurt. So whenever my mother was talking, I listened to what I thought was right, and if it wasn't right, one ear went in and the other ear went out, but even so, I rarely quarreled with my mother again.

Miss Wang said that a year ago, she found a job in Chongqing, and the treatment and benefits were not bad, but she often traveled for business and stayed at home for less time, and the time she returned to Chongqing was almost to rest at home, and then return to work after a period of time. But when I came back this time, I found that something was wrong with my mother.

Hu Zongren asked her what was wrong, and Miss Wang said that her mother suddenly became different from before, and even her temperament changed a lot, but she could still feel that she cared about her. It's just that the way of caring has changed a lot, for example, I used to be enthusiastic, but now I suddenly become very calm. And the way she speaks, walks, and does things is yin and yang, which makes people feel very depressed and worried, so she suspects that her mother is probably a ghost.

If it's a ghost, it's simple. Not only is the way of judgment simple, but even the way of solving is the same, Hu Zongren and I can solve it alone. So Hu Zongren asked Miss Wang, what are your mother's specific symptoms, has her accent changed, and she also likes to walk lightly on tiptoe?

Here I want to explain that although the ghost body has been mentioned many times, you may not understand why you always walk on tiptoe, because the simple way of ghost walking is on tiptoe. Because the ghost itself is very light, it is so light that it will easily float, otherwise what is the common name of A Piao? Because they are too light, the way they move is really "floating" in the strict sense, and most ghosts have a little bit of consciousness before they were born, at least they feel that they are walking with their feet on the ground, so they can only stretch out their toes and step on the ground, which is the main reason for tiptoeing. However, after possessing people, it is difficult to forget such rules and habits, so most people with ghosts will also walk on tiptoe, because at this moment your own soul has been squeezed aside by this ghost, and you can't control your body.

Miss Wang said that she didn't notice this, mainly because her mother suddenly seemed to have become a different person's personality and began to be afraid of something. I didn't change my accent, and I didn't walk on tiptoe, which made me and Hu Zongren confused. So Hu Zongren asked Miss Wang, what is your mother beginning to be afraid of, Miss Wang said, there is an old lady downstairs in their house, is a lonely old man, the relationship between the two families is very good on weekdays, often visit the door, the old lady is a person who recites Buddhism, but recently suddenly one day, Miss Wang's mother was very anxious at home, and when she asked her what happened, her mother just repeated a sentence vigorously, noisy to death! It's noisy! I asked her again, I didn't hear anything, why did I die? But my mother said that the noise downstairs was too loud and it was noisy! It's noisy!

Miss Wang thought it was strange at the time, so she went downstairs and knocked on the old woman's door to see what was the noise that made her mother feel very noisy, but when she knocked on the door, she found that the old lady was listening to Buddhist scriptures at home as usual. Hu Zongren said, so your mother said that it was very noisy, referring to the sound in the Buddhist singing machine downstairs, right? After saying that, Hu Zongren glanced at me, and I understood what he meant, because I also felt that something was wrong, and when the ghost heard the Buddha's voice, it would naturally feel uncomfortable, but he was unwilling to run away, so it was reasonable for Miss Wang's mother's symptoms to appear, so it must be that the ghost in her mother's body couldn't stand the Buddha's voice, so she said that she was dead and died. Miss Wang said yes, that's it, and the old lady's voice was so low that she couldn't hear it at all.

She went on to say that not only that, but she also went out to the toilet late at night, and as soon as she opened the door, she found her mother standing upright at her door, looking at her door with a blank expression.
