Chapter 55. Woman in a shoe store

Hu Zongren asked Mr. Chen, did you have a thief in the store, or a rat or something, knocking things off the shelves? Mr. Chen shook his head and said that the shoes were all placed on the ground, but they were not scattered, but neat and tidy. On the same day, he ordered and found that there was nothing missing, so he didn't particularly care, he just thought it was strange, and thought that his wife went to open the store at night and forgot to put the shoes back. But that day he opened his door for business, and several customers who came to the store to see the shoes said to him, "The air conditioner in your store is so hard that it's cold." Mr. Chen said with a wry smile that there is an old air conditioner in his store, and there has been a problem with refrigeration for a long time, and he has to turn on a fan on weekdays. And most of these people just looked at it and left, and business was not very good all day. Mr. Chen exhaled with a trembling breath and said that when he closed the door that night, he first closed the iron gate of the sliding fence inside, and was about to close the rolling shutter door outside, when suddenly a woman in white clothes came to the edge of the iron fence, her face was pale, and she shook the door as if she was screaming with her mouth open.

Hu Zongren asked Mr. Chen, was the woman just screaming? Mr. Chen said that it seemed to be, but he could not hear the sound. He said that because the woman had no tongue in her mouth, a lot of blood came out of her mouth a few seconds after opening her mouth, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and when he looked inside the door again, he saw that there was nothing inside.

After saying this, we were all stunned. I am a very imaginative person, thinking about the scene described by Mr. Chen, in just a few seconds, but the changes are so drastic, I feel a little cool on a hot day. Hu Zongren said to Mr. Chen, then after you found out that there was nothing, did anything happen? Mr. Chen said that he was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to close the door, so he called his wife. The family lived not far from here, and his wife soon arrived. Mr. Chen told his wife what he saw, but his wife didn't believe it, not only didn't believe it, but also scolded Mr. Chen for being a coward, and then closed the door herself.

Mr. Chen said that after he returned home, he carefully recalled what he had just encountered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he began to gradually lose track of whether he was hallucinating or really encountering these evil things. Mr. Chen said that he had been scolded by his wife that night, saying that he was a coward, and that people who were dozens of years old still believed in these nonsense things. Mr. Chen told us that although his family was in business and burned incense and worshiped Buddha on weekdays, it seemed to be a habit of businessmen, but deep down he really never really believed in the existence of these things. The next day, he went to the dock early in the morning to buy goods, and then opened the door to do business, but when he opened the door, he found that the lights were on.

Mr. Chan said he was pretty sure the lights were off the first night he left with his wife. Even when I first closed the iron door, I had already checked the power supply in the house. At this time, the scenes of the previous day, which he couldn't tell whether it was a hallucination or a reality, resurfaced in his mind. So he hurriedly opened all the doors and windows to let in as much light as possible into the house. Mr. Chen said that because of the demolition, there are few businesses left in this building, and almost all the upstairs have moved away, and he is on the ground floor facing the street, so although business is much worse than before, there are still customers coming to the door from time to time. But when I opened the doors and windows, I found that on the row of shelves closest to the wall, almost all the shoes were scattered on the ground like the previous night, but they were still neatly arranged.

According to my habit of Hu Zongren and I in this industry for many years, we know that if a certain inevitable element repeatedly appears in a ghost matter, then most likely this "element" of the matter has some inevitable connection. And in what happened to Mr. Chen, those shoes were this "element". So Hu Zongren asked Mr. Chen, "The shoes you sell here are all new shoes, and there are no refurbished or old goods, right?" I know why he asked for this, because if there are old or refurbished goods, then it is possible that there are shoes worn by dead people in the store, and it is easier to explain. Mr. Chen said that his goods were all purchased from Guangdong and were brand new. Although the quality cannot be compared with the goods in those shopping malls, it is certainly not a defective product, in this Chaotianmen wholesale market, his shoes are almost close to 200 yuan a pair, which is relatively high-end. Hu Zongren then asked, you said that you have been opening a store here for 20 years, before you took this store, was it transferred from someone else or opened it by yourself, if you transferred it from someone else, maybe the female ghost you saw was the previous store owner? Hu Zongren's assumption may sound far-fetched to us, but it is not a reason not to be considered. Mr. Chen said that he was one of the first people to move in when the building first opened 20 years ago, so there were no previous owners at all.

Things got stuck again, Hu Zongren then asked, do you have any regular customers or anything like that, who especially like the shoes in your store, but who died because of what relationship? Mr. Chen said that he couldn't say this clearly, how could he remember that he could remember that he was open every day to do business, and there were so many people coming and going? And if you get into my store just because you like my shoes, it seems a bit too much, so who will dare to open the door for business in the future? Mr. Chen is also true, according to the description of the female ghost in the short few seconds he described, he had no tongue and vomited blood in his mouth, which no longer seemed to be a normal death, but more like suicide or homicide. And such a way of death, if you want to say that it doesn't form a wronged soul, I really don't dare to say that.

At this time, Li Jia suddenly said, when you entered the store that day, you found that the light was on, what about the switch? If the switch is off and the light is on, then you are not hallucinating. Mr. Chen slapped him in a row and said that it was strange because the switch was off and the light was on. Li Jia said that either there was a problem with your circuit, or the ghost felt that it was dark in the house and wanted to turn on the light and choose shoes.

I was dumbfounded, I touched Li Jia lightly, and said to him, buddy, do you know what we are talking about? He said I know the way, you are talking about ghosts. I said, do you know what a ghost is? He said that ghosts are the kind of people who suddenly jump out and scare people. I rolled my eyes and said buddy, ghosts are dead people, do dead people need to turn on the lights to find things? Why are you still wearing shoes when you're dead? Li Jia snorted in her nose and said unconvinced, that's not necessarily, if I die and become a ghost in the future, I still like to play with toys and read comics.

It's too hard to explain these things to Li Jia, because what he's afraid of is not in a parallel world with us at all, he will be afraid for a long time for a monster that looks fierce and vicious in the comics, but he doesn't feel the ghosts around us, I really don't know if this is lucky or unlucky, and if he unfortunately hangs up in the future, I am afraid it will be very nerve-wracking.

Li Jia said to me, otherwise, let Boss Chen open the door first and let us go in and have a look, we will stay around here tonight, I will leave my plane in the store, if Boss Chen can see something, then my camera will definitely be able to see it. I thought to myself that this was also a solution, so I said to Boss Chen, why don't you open the door of the store first, and let us go in and have a look.

Mr. Chen was a little hesitant, obviously still afraid of the strange things that happened in his shop. So he took out his key, handed it to me, and said to me, "This one is for the outer shutter door, and this one is for the iron door inside, so open it yourself." It's not the first time I've taken the initiative to go to a haunted house, so it's not bad this time. It's just that when we can't determine the size of this ghost's ability, I'm still more careful. Considering the hideous and terrifying appearance of that female ghost, I think she is quite resentful. It's a pity that Hu Zongren and I both belong to a type of people with relatively strong yang energy, and we don't have a special constitution with yin and yang eyes. In Hu Zongren's teaching, there is a trick that can open his eyes to see ghosts in a short time, but one is because the time is too short, and the other is that he has a large loss of his own essence, so he will not do this unless he has to. You must know that in this industry, essence is the key to everything, and when the essence is weak or even becomes non-existent, it is very likely to be counterattacked. This kind of backlash is different from karma, just like a policeman who has caught a bad guy all his life, who can guarantee that the bad guy won't come back to take revenge when he gets old.

After opening the door, the four of us walked cautiously, Mr. Chen walked between Hu Zongren and Li Jia because he was afraid, and Hu Zongren walked in the back. Li Jia was relatively nervous, he walked in as if nothing happened, and dug his nostrils from time to time. I took a closer look at the environment of the store, and it was not much different from a regular shoe store, except that because it was wholesale, there were a lot fewer brand-style decorations. There are shelves on the left and right, and there is a booth in the middle, and there are a lot of shoes on the booth, but on the shelves on the left and right, I don't even see a pair of shoes. When I looked down, all the shoes were on the ground, one pair after another, neatly and neatly, with the toes facing the direction of the shelf, and it felt like a customer with a quirk, trying on shoes one by one, but not putting them back after trying.

Mr. Chen said to me, look at it, I know that the road will be like this, these shoes were packed once the last time I came, although I didn't see the horror scene like the first time when I closed the door, but after closing the door I didn't open again, until we came, there was a day in between. I ignored him, just called Hu Zongren to my side and asked him to look at the shoes on the ground.

I asked Hu Zongren, do you notice anything? He said he noticed it, and it was all women's shoes. I said what else? He asked hesitantly, and... The feet are small...?

I despised him and said, "Look at each of these shoes, the heel of your right foot."
