It was almost 10 p.m., and by this time many people were already getting ready to rest. So I asked Mr. Du for Zhang Hong's phone number, and I tried to make a call, but found that the number was stopped. It's no wonder that this person is dead, why do you still pay for the phone. So I asked Mr. Du again, "Your previous correspondence address was the school, right?" Mr. Du said yes, and I asked again, then from what you know about Zhang Hong, if she is still alive, will she have graduated?

Mr. Du shook his head and said, "That's not true, the year we cut off the correspondence with her, she happened to be about to take the graduate school entrance examination, and she was also admitted at that time. So if you're still alive, you won't graduate until next year. I thought about it for a while and said, okay, then let's do this for the time being, and we'll go to Zhang Hong's school early tomorrow morning to see if we can get any news from her classmates. Mr. Du wondered, then it is still in my room, how do you want me to sleep? Hu Zongren said with a smile, you will spend another night in the car tonight, anyway, you have slept for so many days, not bad for this day. But we'll let you go today, and you'd better take a leave of absence to join us tomorrow and finish it early, so you might as well sleep early.

Mr. Du agreed, and we went back separately that night. Since Hu Zongren's family lives in Nanping, he didn't ask me to send it, and he went home alone, and I needed to send Zhao Jing back. I asked Zhao Jing, do you want me to send you directly to your house, or do you want to find a place to take the car and throw you away? Zhao Jing said that it doesn't matter whatever, so I said that it would be better to send you home.

Zhao Jing's home is not far from me, and I don't talk much with her, but when I was downstairs at her house, I said to her, maybe we are a little close to each other these days, but I still want to remind you that some things that shouldn't happen should not happen, because often if we make a wrong decision, it may ruin the original life of others. Zhao Jing pretended to be stupid and asked me, what do you mean by saying these words? I said, you know what I'm talking about. Zhao Jing was silent for a while, and then said to me, don't worry, I know what my role is, and I won't cause trouble to anyone. With that, she got out of the car and disappeared into the darkness.

The next day, we went directly to the gate of Zhang Hong's former university at the agreed time, and after finding a place to park, we met in the school. Because after Mr. Du told us Zhang Hong's specific department the night before, the rest of the time was nothing more than asking for directions to find that department. All this went very smoothly, the quality of college students is different from us, when we showed us the way, we were afraid that we would not be able to find it, so a female classmate also drew a simple map for us very carefully. After we found that department, Mr. Du was very proficient in finding Zhang Hong's class on the blackboard in a certain classroom between what time and what time of the major, so we rushed to the outside of the classroom and waited for the students to get out of class.

After class, many college students came out of the classroom, and I picked a girl who seemed to be more good at martial arts, and after greeting others, I began to ask about Zhang Hong's situation. When I asked Zhang Hong, the other party looked a little surprised, as if he was saying that he hadn't heard the name Zhang Hong for a long time, but it was precisely because of this expression that I concluded that this girl must know Zhang Hong.

When I asked, she told me that Zhang Hong used to be in the dormitory on the same floor as them, although she didn't know each other very well, but after all, they were classmates who knew each other, Zhang Hong didn't come to class earlier, saying that she was sick, and that time happened to be the busiest time to study. But soon everyone didn't see her again, but later the counselor inadvertently mentioned that Zhang Hong had fallen ill and died. So I asked what the disease was, and the girl said that it seemed that she had tried to commit suicide because of depression, but everyone didn't know exactly how she died.

I chuckled and began to feel a little troublesome. What I fear most is the ghost of suicide. Because this kind of ghost is extremely resentful, suicide is also killing, it is a great evil, so people who commit suicide and die, usually if there is no kind master willing to lead the way, then the heavens and the earth will not accept it, and it will be difficult to atone for their sins. Depression is also a word that I have often heard over the years, which basically refers to the fact that people have some negative emotions because of the pressure of thoughts, which are too negative and cause people to lose hope in life, and even feel hopeless. According to statistics, there are not a few people who commit suicide because of depression every year, and this symptom is not strictly pathological, but caused by psychological obstacles that are difficult to overcome. However, because of psychological unhealth, the quality of life will begin to decline, and some pathological emergencies induced by this will also easily lead to death.

So depression is very scary in my opinion, and people are under a lot more stress than before, and this disease is starting to appear more and more. But fortunately, although I am naturally more emotional, but relatively optimistic, Hu Zongren is very arrogant, if one day he is depressed, I will only take it as a joke, so the two of us should not have anything to do with this disease for the time being. So I then asked the classmate, can you take us to your counselor, we also want to know something from him. The classmate was a little hesitant, and Mr. Du hurriedly said to her, just leave it to you, Zhang Hong is an old friend of mine.

Perhaps it was because of Mr. Du's sincerity, but that classmate still took us to the counselor. Mr. Du told me that this kind of counselor is usually a student cadre at the beginning, and then he chooses to stay in school after graduation, just to increase his work experience. So we called the counselor outside the office and asked Zhang Hong directly about the situation, mainly to find out whether it was illness or suicide that ultimately caused Zhang Hong to die.

The counselor said that they only learned about Zhang Hong's death later, because Zhang Hong's family came to the school at that time to ask for a student registration file, saying that the police station would need these files if they wanted to cancel their household registration. At this time, they learned that Zhang Hong had died. However, when I asked if it was because of depression and suicide, the counselor denied it, she said that although Zhang Hong's child is not good-looking, she has always been very motivated and active in her studies, and she has a share in the scholarship every year, maybe because of too much pressure, her body collapsed. The cause of death was acute intestinal obstruction.

Acute intestinal obstruction, as serious as it sounds. Generally related to internal organs, it is usually not a good disease. However, some words from the counselor also dispelled my doubts. The counselor continued to say that Zhang Hong, a classmate, may have been depressed because of some personal relationships. Many of her classmates don't treat her very well, and sometimes they laugh at her, plus the pressure of studying, maybe there are family and emotional reasons, but it's a pity, it's a good child.

I didn't continue to talk to the counselor because since he died of illness, as long as it wasn't suicide, everything was easier to say. However, I think Zhang Hong's case is more special, because she first had depression before she developed such a condition as intestinal obstruction, and the cause of depression is just like what the counselor said, which has a lot to do with the surrounding environment, to put it bluntly, depression, low self-esteem, and loneliness. These conditions all happen to meet the conditions for the production of faceless ghosts, so this should be the real reason why Zhang Hong has no facial features, not because it doesn't remember what it looks like, but because it doesn't know what it should look like in front of Mr. Du. Mr. Du broke off contact with Zhang Hong before he moved, and Zhang Hong must have been entangled with Mr. Du early in the morning because he knew Mr. Du's address, but Mr. Du noticed that it was just a recent matter, which meant that Zhang Hong had been with Mr. Du before the move.

I can't help but sigh a little, as Zhang Hong's point of view, maybe every letter and encouragement from Mr. Du is one of the few warmth she can find in this cold society. But Mr. Du chose this way to cut off contact with herself, and in her opinion, she lost this warmth. Although the two have never met, Mr. Du is very special to Zhang Hong, so he found him after his death, which seems to make sense. Zhang Hong has been hiding in Mr. Du's wardrobe, repeatedly attracting his attention with some movements, the reason why he is hidden in the wardrobe, in my opinion, is because of Mr. Du's perfunctory words, saying that he bought clothes for her, although this is not for Zhang Hong to buy clothes, but the meaning of Mr. Du's purchase is different, once there is a memory, it is easy to form an obsession, and every ghost left in the world, there must be an unsolved obsession.

When I left the teaching building, I carefully talked about my analysis and opinions with everyone, Mr. Du was very self-reproachful for what he had done at the beginning, but we were comforting him, this matter actually has nothing to do with you, although you have nothing to do with Zhang Hong's death, but if you must say, although it was a disease that caused her death, it was depression that caused this illness, and you became a part of her depression before her death.

Mr. Du asked us, what should we do now? Hu Zongren said, the matter has been clear, we are going to lead the way, right in your house. But we can't guarantee that it will follow us. Mr. Du bit his lip and asked, "Do you need my help?" Apparently he also realized that although he was a victim, he became a very key person in it.

Hu Zongren said to him, I need your help to untie her obsession.
