Chapter 51. Case 9: Secrets in the room

By this point, I was almost 100% sure that the room was haunted. It's just that I don't have conclusive evidence to prove whether the house is haunted or the hostess is ghosted, and I can't even determine how many ghosts there are in this room. The compass was relatively chaotic, and I couldn't tell if it was due to the ghosts' own mood swings, or to the presence of several different ghosts. So I smiled and said to Hu Zongren, look, I thought that Xuanyuan would give us a cheap advantage, but I didn't expect it to be a difficult thing to do.

Miss Wang saw that Hu Zongren and I had serious expressions, so she also became worried, and she began to ask me and Hu Zongren constantly if the situation was very serious. I said we can't be sure yet, because we haven't seen your mother yet. It's not a big deal just to find a supernatural reaction in the room, sometimes those who pass by may leave a spirit, but if your mother's reaction is very violent, then we can further speculate on the root cause of the matter. Hu Zongren also said to Miss Wang, now that the outside has been checked, only your mother's room is left, can you see if we can go in?

Miss Wang was very embarrassed, but she still told us to wait and take a look in her mother's room. After a while, she came over and said that her mother was lying on the bed again, uncovered and undressed, as if she was asleep. Be gentle, and don't wake her up. Hu Zongren and I nodded, and followed Miss Wang to the door of her mother's room.

Miss Wang first packed up the food at the door, and then returned to us, and asked us if we were ready, so Hu Zongren and I nodded and didn't speak, and I took out the compass that had been put before, and looked at it and found that in front of Miss Wang's mother's door, this kind of agility was surprisingly powerful, and it was like this across the door, so it was really hard to say what would happen when the door was opened. Miss Wang took a deep breath and unscrewed the deadbolt.

The room was so dark that I couldn't see the compass clearly, so Hu Zongren pointed to the ceiling light in the corridor to Miss Wang. Because turning on the lights in the house at this time might wake up Miss Wang's mother, just borrow the light from the corridor. So Miss Wang turned on the light in the hallway, so that I could see the outline of the room.

The compass in my hand began to rotate rapidly, I looked at the compass, then looked at the furnishings of the room, and then brought the compass to Hu Zongren and asked him to look at it too, he also nodded and whispered, Then let's start checking. So we crept around the room, from the doorway to the window, and I gently opened a gap in the curtains to make it a little brighter. After walking back and forth in the room a few times, I gave Hu Zongren a wink, so we retreated, closed the door again, and returned to the center of the living room.

Miss Wang couldn't wait to ask us, how is it, is there really a ghost in the house? Hu Zongren and I looked at each other, and then I told Miss Wang that there was really a ghost. Miss Wang asked nervously again, can you save it? I said yes, but there are some things I haven't figured out yet, judging from the compass's reaction, this ghost knows that we are coming, but it doesn't attack the two of us, and even consciously avoids us, thinking that this will keep us from noticing. In addition, when we entered the house, I carefully observed you, and found that Miss Wang, except for some anxiety, there seems to be nothing else abnormal in your body, which shows that although there are ghosts here, it has not thought of harming you.

Hu Zongren added, not only did he not harm you, but he even cared about you very much. I glanced at Hu Zongren and continued to say to Miss Wang, think about it carefully, did anything unusual happen during the period before you came back from this business trip? Miss Wang was suddenly asked by me, so she tried to think about it and said, no, I have been busy with work during that time, and I called my mother twice a week, and I was fine when I called, and I didn't find anything abnormal. Hu Zongren suddenly interjected and said, Miss Wang, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I want to ask, do you have no other relatives in your family besides you and your mother? For example, grandparents, or your mother's siblings, or even your mother's best friends, or whatever. Miss Wang shook her head and said that her grandparents had passed away when she was still very young, and there were three brothers and sisters in her mother's family.

Miss Wang went on to say that her aunt died of cancer a few years ago, and because her aunt-in-law was not young, and his child, who was also her cousin, had a family and was busy with work, so after the death of her aunt, the two families had very little contact, at most, they occasionally called each other to greet each other, and came out to gather during the New Year and holidays. And his mother is the youngest one, because she has been busy taking care of herself for decades, and she has not even taken care of her own life very carefully, although she occasionally goes out to dance with other old ladies, playing waist drums, etc., but those people are not very close friends, and most of the classmates and friends in her early years have lost contact, so her mother is still very lonely.

When she said this, Miss Wang suddenly became sentimental, she said that she was still not sensible, and she knew that her mother was now the only one she could rely on, but she was inevitably neglected to take care of and accompany her because of her work, and she even wondered if it was because she was not at home most of the time, which made her mother feel lonely, so her body became weaker, and she suffered from the invasion of ghosts. She also had a side understanding and investigation before inviting us to come, and if she knew that the ghost was on the body, then there was a certain relationship between the ghost and the subject in most cases, but although the tone of the ghost behind the ghost was different from that of her mother, it was just more like her mother had changed a relatively calm attitude to talk to herself, and no matter how hard she tried to think about it, she really couldn't remember that there was such a person around her, and then he died, and then the way he spoke and did things was similar to his current mother, It was precisely because I really didn't understand it that I had to ask us to come out.

I sighed and said, when we checked your mother's room just now, we found that the whole room was filled with a relatively strong supernatural reaction, and the windows were closed and the curtains were not opened. She said that she went in relatively rarely, and usually only went in when she wanted to talk to her mother or bring food to her, and she said that she was also frightened for a while, because her mother suddenly became so yin and yang like another person, and she was also afraid of staying in a claustrophobic environment with her for too long, and she was more worried every day. I asked Miss Wang, you said that you brought food to your mother before, but she didn't eat it and put it on the table of the dresser, but when we checked the room just now, we found that there was a thick layer of dust on the dresser. Miss Wang shook her head and said, I really didn't notice that I was also in a tense state during this time, and it was rare to notice these details.

Hu Zongren said to Miss Wang, did you smell a strange smell in your mother's room? Because when we checked it just now, we did smell it. Miss Wang said that this is true, when I entered my mother's room before, I could always smell the smell of burning herbs inside, and I also asked my mother what it smelled like, but she told me that she was a little unwell, and she burned it with wormwood, and the smell might be the smell of wormwood, and she didn't understand it, so she didn't ask more. Miss Wang suddenly became a little excited again, maybe it was because Hu Zongren and I asked her so much repeatedly, which made her feel that her mother's condition this time was not optimistic, so she stood up and said, please help my mother, although I may not be able to give you a lot of money at one time, but I can give as much as I can, and I can give you the rest one after another, as long as I save my mother.

At that moment, there was a sudden creak in the hallway, and it sounded like the door was open. When Miss Wang heard this, she quickly made a shushing gesture to us, then tilted her head sideways to listen, and then asked loudly, Mom, are you up? No one answered. I glanced at Hu Zongren, Hu Zongren nodded at me, and I took advantage of Miss Wang's lack of attention, I secretly reached into my pocket and pulled a piece of red rope out, because I knew that if Miss Wang's mother came out later, I still had to do some necessary precautions.

Miss Wang shouted again, but still no one answered. We were sitting at an oblique angle of 45 degrees to see the entrance of the corridor, and just as Miss Wang was about to get up to see what was going on, suddenly an aunt grabbed the corner of the wall at the entrance of the corridor with one hand, and then poked out the upper half of her head and stared at me and Hu Zongren. It's like someone is secretly watching you, and I don't want you to find her, but I found out. My heart raced and I started to get nervous, because after all, I knew that all the strange things that happened in this room had a certain relationship with Miss Wang's mother.

So I stretched out my foot and touched Hu Zongren's foot gently, glanced at him, then stood up and said to the aunt, hello aunt.

The aunt slowly moved and stood up, wearing a vermilion cloth dress, a pair of black women-like trousers, wearing flesh-colored socks on her feet, but wearing a pair of small black cloth shoes with horizontal buttons, her steps were gentle, almost no sound, she was still standing there looking at me and Hu Zongren expressionlessly, and then said coldly:

"Daughter... Who are they... It's noisy... It's noisy..."
