Chapter 50. Case 9: The house is full of agility

Miss Wang said that she was really scared at that time, think about it, in the middle of the night, my mother didn't sleep, didn't knock on the door, just stood at the door and stared at her door like a stake, and the light in the corridor was not turned on, I saw her as soon as I opened the door, you said that it was not scary. I thought about it, it's really scary, there is a saying, called people are scary, scared to death, that is, in many cases, people are suddenly frightened, in fact, most of them come from people around us, just when they are caught off guard, they suddenly come to such a moment.

I remember when I was a child, I once hid behind my door and scared a child who was playing hide and seek with me, and as soon as the child walked into the house, I suddenly jumped out from behind the door, and then screamed, and the child pulled his pants with and pee, and then ran away crying to death, and then his mother came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, saying that he was scaring the child for something, and I also asked my father to beat him up for this. So I know that being scary can make people feel like they are, even though I really think that sometimes people are more intimidating than ghosts.

Miss Wang said that after she was frightened at that time, she asked her mother angrily, saying that you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you standing here in the middle of the night, you scared me to death. But my mother smiled and said, "Didn't you sleep either?" She said I'm a young man, how can you compare to me when you're old, and I have my own personal affairs to deal with, and it's just too late. Then Miss Wang grabbed her mother's arm a little coquettishly and said, you just go to sleep, people of your age, don't stay up late. It was only when she held her mother's hand that she realized that her mother was still wearing the same clothes as during the day, that is, from the time she entered the room to the time she came out, her mother did not even change her clothes, and she may have been standing at the door of the room.

Miss Wang told us that since that day, she has been secretly paying attention to her mother's recent abnormal behavior, in fact, there are many such incidents, such as when she saw her mother turning on the faucet used to wash the mop in the toilet, and then she didn't use it, just stood there staring at the rushing water. It wasn't until the water came out that she still stood when her shoes and socks were wet, and Miss Wang found out by herself that she pulled her mother away in a panic and asked her what she was doing, but her mother just smiled faintly, and then walked back to the bedroom wet and closed the door by herself. Miss Wang said that her mother's smile at that time was particularly weird, the kind of sneer that was "nothing but so". Another time, she was also partying with friends, but she came home late, according to the past, her mother had already fallen asleep at this time, so she was afraid of waking her up when she came home, and she didn't even dare to turn on the light when she entered the living room. She said it was because her mother's bedroom bed was low, so she could see the light in the living room through the crack in the door. As a result, when he took off his shoes in the hallway and was tiptoeing back to his room, suddenly a faint voice came from behind him:

"Where have you been..."

At that time, Miss Wang was also frightened and screamed, so she quickly turned on the light and saw her mother sitting on the sofa alone, peeling oranges, and there were several peeled ones on the table, but they were not very clean, and the table on the floor was full of orange juice. At that time, she asked her mother why you are still sitting here in the dark without saying a word, and then she suddenly realized that her mother did not turn on the light, and it seemed that it was not normal to peel oranges in this darkness. But my mother was still staring straight at the TV across the couch, but it wasn't turned on at all.

Miss Wang's mother still said in a very quiet tone, I don't go back to sleep, it's too noisy... It's too noisy...

Miss Wang said that she knew that the old lady downstairs reciting Buddhism at home made her mother feel too noisy, and she was very puzzled at that time, so her mother's words made her feel scared all of a sudden. But she held back her fear, and helped her mother back to her room to sleep, but when she returned to the room, she couldn't sleep at all.

Miss Wang told us that there were many strange things after that, so much so that at the end of the day she even wondered if she had preconceived her mother to be weird at the beginning, so whatever she did made her feel weird. Because the original mother who loved the size of Ha Lu Ha and was open-minded was gone, the mother who loved to tell her seriously, and then Rory said a lot of big truths that she was about to recite was gone, and the rest of the one was still staring at her, but it was more like spying on her, although there was still some concern in words, but it became cold and indifferent, and it was completely different from the mother who had been with her for more than 20 years.

Hu Zongren and I are both thinking about it, according to what Miss Wang said, it is indeed very ghost-like. But the most basic symptoms of the ghost body did not appear, which made us scratch our heads. I didn't give up, so I continued to ask Miss Wang, I said that in addition to what you just said, is there anything abnormal about your mother? In fact, I know that it is superfluous for me to ask, and even if Miss Wang gives me a new clue, I may not be able to figure it out. But Miss Wang thought about it and said, by the way, her appetite began to become very weak, and she gradually became a little emaciated and haggard. She pointed to the food on the floor at the door of her mother's room and said that sometimes she was locked in her room and didn't come out all day, and I gave her a hot meal, but she didn't eat it. When I asked her, she only said that she was not hungry and did not want to eat. Sometimes when I go home, she doesn't cook, and says let me eat whatever I want, and she has already eaten. Miss Wang said, you see the nature of my job, I have to go on a business trip every three or five days, and I have to stay for ten days and a half a month when I go out, my mother is in such a situation now, how can you let me leave with peace of mind?

This is indeed a problem, looking at the aunt in the photo, she is very optimistic and spiritual, such an aunt will not be reduced to the point of going to a nursing home, and there is no reason to ask Miss Wang to take leave to stay at home to take care of, but to take care of it, you can't help but solve the problem. I think that's the fundamental reason why she came to us.

Hu Zongren said, did your mother also lock herself in her room today and refused to come out? Miss Wang frowned and said, "No, before I called you early in the morning, I called her through the door and asked her if she wanted to go out to bask in the sun." She said she wasn't going, she was busy, but when I opened the door, I found her sitting on the bed, not taking off her clothes and pants, not even taking off her shoes, not covering the quilt, sitting there in a daze. I asked her, didn't you say you were busy? As a result, after I asked, she looked at me in a daze, but she didn't say a word. I was a little startled by her gaze, so I withdrew. At noon, I brought her food, she said that she didn't want to eat and had no appetite, I said I would put it on the makeup cabinet for you, you can eat if you want, so she withdrew, and I closed the door for her before leaving, but when you two came just now, I came down to pick you up, and I saw the door of my mother's room open, and she was still sitting on the bed in that position, but she had already moved the food I had put in earlier to the door.

Miss Wang said anxiously, please two of you must save my mother, I am such a dear person, I really don't want anything to happen to her. If she's evil or something, please help me get my mother back. When she said the last sentence, she even began to cry. Hu Zongren got up and sat beside her, stroked her back and said to her, don't worry, as long as we are within our ability, we will do our best. Although the tone was sincere, the movements of his hands could hardly make me believe that Hu Zongren had no evil thoughts in his heart.

I also stood up and said to Miss Wang, then you invited us to come, does your mother know about this? Miss Wang shook her head and said that she didn't know what to do, but she didn't seem to care much about anything now, so as long as you were light-hearted, she wouldn't notice it. I was stunned and I said that we can't be light-hearted, we have to check your whole house, including your mother's room, and we have to look at your mother so that we can determine if it's really caused by the ghost. Miss Wang seemed to be a little embarrassed, she said that she was worried that if her mother saw the two of us, she thought that I, who was a daughter, how could I invite two masters to check on herself. Hu Zongren said to her, you can rest assured, if your mother is really as you said, she has symptoms of ghosts, then she won't care who you find at all, whether we are here or not doesn't matter to her, because she is not your mother at all. Unless it's the kind of person who has a strong hostility towards us from the beginning, it goes without saying that it's probably a ghost.

In just over this month, Hu Zongren and I have experienced several cases of ghosts in a row, so in terms of experience, it can be said that we can catch them. So we didn't treat this matter as a big case at all, and even laughed at the old fools of the Xuanyuan Society in our hearts, thinking that we could use this kind of garbage case to stump us, which was really ridiculous.

After hearing Hu Zongren say this, although Miss Wang still had concerns, she still agreed to us. So I told Miss Wang that I should check your house first, your mother's room, and I would check it later. I took out my compass and started looking for it from the place where I entered the door, but there was none. Moved to the dining room, no, and then walked to the sofa where we talked before, the compass began to rotate quickly, I carefully compared the distance between my compass and those electrical appliances, and found that it was not at all because of the interference caused by electrical appliances, I didn't make a sound at first, and then continued to walk along the direction of the living room towards the corridor, and the reaction was stronger with each step, in the kitchen, in the toilet, and at the door of Miss Wang's room, but her room was clean. So I withdrew and asked her, "Has your mother not been in your room since she became like this?"

Miss Wang said yes. I put away the compass for the time being and walked over to Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren asked me, is there a reaction? I nodded. He asked me again, are you sure it's a ghost? I nodded again. Hu Zongren frowned and said, is that serious? Is the reaction big?

I said to Hu Zongren, well... It's almost all over the house.
