Chapter 20. Case 4: A phone call

I followed Master Yang's hand and looked over, but it was actually pitch black outside, and I couldn't see anything. I asked Master Yang, did you accidentally fall down, or did you commit suicide? Because I thought to myself that if I stumbled, I might be resentful, but after a long time or if I let go of my own feelings, many dead souls will also choose to leave on their own, but considering that it is red, it is difficult to say. Plus if it's a suicide, it's even more troublesome. The act of suicide is a sin in itself, and I have met many people who have died by suicide in the past, and the outcome of the treatment is really not guaranteed. If you encounter someone who is gentler, you may be willing to follow after some persuasion, but the suicide itself is very resentful, coupled with the suicide in red, combined with what Hu Zongren and I saw and heard in the toilet before, it is obvious that this ghost is not easy to deal with, and he has no intention of leaving at all.

Master Yang shook his head and said, this is not clear, the police came, and also took the person in charge of the fifth floor away for investigation, the specific situation is only known to the people who were present at the time, and not long after that, this club was closed, and then let you continue to rent it out. I asked Master Yang, how much do you know about this club? For example, do you have the contact information of the previous sales owner or something? Master Yang smiled and said, I am just a little security guard, how can I know these contacts.

I asked him again, then you said that there was another evil sect before, what exactly did you mean? Chef Yang said that soon after the club closed, the property management company blocked the door to the rooftop of the top floor to prevent people from going up for safety reasons to prevent such incidents from happening again. But that door still has a key, because the air conditioning equipment is still on the top floor and needs to be repaired regularly. And where people have fallen to death, everyone is also taboo, so there is little talk about it. But one night after that, when one of our other security guards on duty was on patrol, we heard a strange sound coming from the toilet on the fifth floor.

I quickly asked, what kind of voice it was. Master Yang said that he had also heard that when the colleague had just walked to the staircase on the fifth floor that day, he heard a cry from the direction of the toilet, which was the cry of a woman. Master Yang described that it was said that the cry was very strange, and it felt very much like a wild cat barking, hoarse. At that time, the colleague didn't think so much, so he turned on the lights in the corridor and the toilet and went in, and found that several cubicles were locked, he checked them one by one, and asked loudly who was inside, but no one answered, and when he walked into the toilet, the crying stopped. Master Yang looked at Manager Xiao and said, the rest is similar to what the little girl in your company said, in the last cubicle, my colleague saw dirty things.

Hu Zongren asked Master Yang, "Did your colleague tell you what he saw?" Master Yang picked up a porcelain teacup on the table in the security room, took a sip, made a whirring sound, and then said that he saw a woman sitting on the edge of the squatting toilet with her legs pinned, her feet still stretched out in the squatting toilet, and the water tank was also pouring water all the time. Dressed in red, with long hair and straight hair, his head hanging down, his hair covering most of his face, he sat there motionless.

I took a breath of cool air, if I were the security guard, I would have run away with a pig howl. Master Yang said that maybe his colleague didn't think of this at all, so he reached out and patted the woman's shoulder, thinking that maybe the employee of which company was drunk or something, but when he touched the woman's shoulder, he found that his hand was through. Only then did he realize that he must have hit a ghost, so he screamed and ran away, and when he rushed to the door, he reached out to open the door only to find that the woman was standing upright at the door and blocked the door.

I interrupted Master Yang, and I said you wait, you mean, the female ghost that your colleague saw at that time was standing outside the door of the toilet door, right? Master Yang said, it's not outside the door, it's directly on the door, and when you open the door, you can see it, as if the door and the ghost overlapped. I nodded, and Master Yang continued, at that time, the colleague was very scared, but probably thought that it was a death anyway, so he simply fought hard. So he began to punch and kick indiscriminately, and his hand hit the tile on the wall, and his finger was broken because of it. However, he said that he hit with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he hit it, but when he plucked up the courage to open his eyes, he found that the light in the toilet had been extinguished, but the light in the corridor outside the toilet was still on, and there was no female ghost at the door. Just as he was hesitating whether to run away immediately, there was a heart-rending cry from behind him, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately rushed out of the toilet.

Master Yang said that when he ran to the staircase, he didn't chase after him, so he looked back. He said that the lights outside had partially shone into the toilet, and he saw a woman dressed in red, with a face that could not be seen clearly, standing inside the door. Hu Zongren said to Master Yang, we also went to the toilet just now, but the door of the toilet was not open, it closed automatically. How could that colleague of yours look back after escaping and see that the toilet door is open? Master Yang flattened his mouth and said, who knows what to do, maybe people just opened the door on purpose so that you could go in.

Master Yang's tone was calm, but it was this calmness that made me feel particularly scary. I have encountered a lot of female ghosts, and I have dealt with many suicide cases, and even the female ghost who pestered me and Hu Zongren a year ago was dressed in red. I don't even want to think about that female ghost because it's so scary. In other words, I personally have a natural rejection of the female ghost in red, and as for whether it is suicide or not, it doesn't matter so much, because the facts show that it belongs to the ghost.

Master Yang went on to say that his colleague ran back to the security room at that time, and it was still winter, so there were two colleagues in the security room, so he told another colleague what he had encountered, and then spread the word to the other colleague, and by the next morning, the whole property management company knew that this colleague had seen a ghost last night. So naturally the leader called him over for questioning, and the security master was an honest man, so he would say whatever he wanted, but these words were simply absurd in the eyes of the leader, and they caused a very bad impact in the company, and the security guard was dismissed on the same day. Hu Zongren asked Master Yang, can you still contact this security guard now? Master Yang shook his head and said, I haven't been able to contact him for a long time, and it's been a matter of several years.

Master Yang also said that the company's management changed later, and due to business problems, the entire company was transferred to the current property management company to manage, and the management at that time was gone, leaving some security guards and parking lot toll office personnel, and the security guards have changed a lot.

Master Yang basically told me everything he knew about the road, but the problem was that he couldn't provide the contact information of the person in charge of the club and the phone number of the security guard who hit the ghost earlier, so we didn't make any progress except for one more rumor. I thought to myself that maybe there was no new news in this Master Yang's mouth, so I thanked him, went back to the fifth floor, and before leaving, I handed him another cigarette.

After I sat down in the hall, I told Hu Zongren what I thought was the difficulty of the matter now, saying that at least the security guard or the person in charge of the club had to find one before he could continue to investigate, and now he would either have to let it go, or he could only be rude, and the two of us didn't know if I could beat this female ghost, have you forgotten that you suffered in the afternoon? After speaking, I rolled my eyes and stuck out my tongue, imitating Hu Zongren's decaying appearance that was about to die.

At this time, Manager Xiao suddenly said, if I want to find the person in charge of the previous club, I may be able to think of a way. He said that although he was not involved in renting this floor of the house at that time, he knew that the site was directly subleased by the colleague who handled it at that time from the person in charge, which means that the colleague should have had the phone number of the person in charge, at least he was still the landlord. So I immediately asked Manager Xiao, is your colleague easy to find now? He said that he is still in the company, and now he is the secretary of the president, and you wait for me to call him. When Manager Xiao picked up the phone, Hu Zongren asked inarticulate whether it was a male secretary or a female secretary.

Soon the phone was connected, Manager Xiao roughly told the other party about the situation, and then the other party called back ten minutes after hanging up the phone, saying that he had found the phone number of the person in charge, but this phone number had not been called for a long time, and the property management company implemented the collection of property management fees, water and electricity bills, and the landlord's tenant rent was also regularly drawn on the company's account every six months, so it is difficult to say whether this number can find someone.

It's hard to say, but it still has to be said. After I got to the call, I discussed it with Hu Zongren, and saw that the time was almost 10 o'clock at night, but if it was delayed for one more day, who knew what would happen tomorrow. So we decided to call him now.

I put my phone in hands-free mode, and then asked Hu Zongren and Manager Xiao to stop talking, and then dialed the number. After the phone rang a few times, a male voice that sounded like he was sleeping said, "Hello? "I suppressed my voice and said, hello, I am from the Criminal Police Brigade of the High-tech Zone, my surname is Li, my police number is 98980, about the murder case of a car club you ran before, I need your cooperation with the investigation.

The man was stunned for a moment, and said that the case had not been closed a long time ago. I didn't answer him, but said seriously, please cooperate with the work. The tone is the kind that wants to die or live, and if you don't cooperate with Lao Tzu, I'll get you.

So I asked him, name? "Shi Peng." Date of birth? "June 12, 1975." What is the name of the original club? "The home of so-and-so riders."

Very good, Mr. Shi, I have the basic situation of you.
