Chapter 164. [Case 20] Forming a formation to summon spirits
But the only regret is that there are no photos. And I asked President Xu if there was a way to query the photo information, because I knew that when I was verifying the information of the subsistence allowance personnel, I would definitely take a photo, otherwise where would the low guarantee come from? President Xu shook his head and said that it was indeed not within her ability, but anyone who wanted to inquire about this kind of population file must have an official letter of authorization from the Social Security Bureau or the police station, otherwise there is no way to check his own appearance information with the bank's system.
I thought to myself, this is right, that is, these positions should be divided in order to give those who are officials the opportunity to play ball, otherwise if one department can solve all the problems, then how will the remaining civil servants survive?
So Hu Zongren and I sat on the ground and began to check the people on the list, we first made a distinction between the people on the list according to the names that seemed to be male or female, and even those names that seemed to be usable by both men and women, we also left them all for further investigation. The list of nearly three hundred people in total was quickly divided into about three-fifths of the people who needed further tea, and then in the information of this part of the people, we had a proper calculation of their age. According to the identity information, we all left over 60 years old, so that there are less than 50 people left. After the scope was narrowed, the difficulty did not decrease because Hu Zongren and I had no other way to conduct screening. At this time, President Xu said to us, let me check in our system for issuing subsistence allowances, if some of them have not come to receive subsistence allowances for several months, then it should be the people we are looking for, just because they did not go to the local police station to close their accounts after they died.
I handed over the remaining 50 checks to President Xu, who turned on the computer in the gold card customer area and began to check it, but soon she shook her head at us and said, no, the people on this list have come to collect on time. Now something is wrong, first of all, I decided that the ghost must have been a low-income account of this bank before his death, and it was among the dozens of people screened out by me and Hu Zongren. So why is the subsistence allowance still being issued since the person is dead? There is only one possibility, and that is that someone will pick it up instead of her.
So I asked President Xu, when you were distributing the subsistence allowance at the counter, didn't you need to verify your identity? President Xu said that when you want to verify, you need to provide a low-security card, and the low-guarantee ID card can be collected. I nodded, and then said to Hu Zongren, if that part of the subsistence allowance really came out of the counter, then this person must be the one who can get these three things, who do you think it will be? Hu Zongren said, wife? Children? I looked at the pile of lists on the table and said, it seems that there is only one way to find out, call.
So for the rest of the time, Hu Zongren and I were calling the people on the list, of course, using the bank's landline. President Xu called for food outside to ensure that Hu Zongren and I had enough energy. It was close to 9 o'clock in the evening when I made a phone call, and a man's voice came from the phone, and the voice was quite young. When Hu Zongren and I used to talk on the phone, we usually had to distinguish the voice first, if it was a man or a young person, then we would ask a few more questions, such as how so-and-so is doing lately, we pretended to be someone from the census office, of course, I don't think they would think about why someone would call so late.
But the number I called made me feel a little different. First of all, the accent seems to be only thirty or forty years old, so I asked him, are you a family member of the old man Wang Shoubi? He froze for a moment, then said yes. Did I say you were his son? He said yes. I said that Granny Wang is not at home now, we are from the census, and I want to talk to her about some things directly. The other party said hesitantly, Granny Wang is asleep now, I said that it is a pity, originally yesterday Granny Wang also came to our unit, some policy changes need to be notified to her in time.
Yesterday... Yesterday? What time was yesterday? The hesitant question on the other end of the phone suddenly made me feel refreshed, and I felt that I had found the right person. I said yesterday morning, you don't know what to say, your mother is cute and chatting, by the way, we still have some gifts, or I will send someone to Granny Wang tomorrow to send it over? With a snap, the other party hung up the phone and didn't even say a bow, which was really rude.
So at this point, I am basically sure that the phone call I made just now is the mother-in-law who is haunted here, Wang Shoubi.
I told everyone about my results, and Hu Zongren was so happy with my efficiency that he danced. But even if he finds it, the attitude of the other party's family actually makes me think that he will not cooperate smoothly. And even if you look for the address on the list, you may not be able to find your mother-in-law's family, because according to the age of this mother-in-law, her son is probably in his forties, how can a son still live with his mother in his forties? In addition, if the son's conditions are rich, why should the old man come to apply for the subsistence allowance? When I thought of this, I discussed it with Hu Zongren and decided to try to conjure spirits tonight.
Spiritualism, that's not a very difficult thing, because we don't plan to summon spirits in that way that particularly consumes our own cultivation. There are about 10 hours left between now and tomorrow morning, and if I were to lay a rope formation here, then I must make sure that Hu Zongren and I must catch or even send away this ghost during this time. First of all, Hu Zongren and I thought about how to recruit this ghost, usually lighting incense and candles in an inconspicuous place at the entrance of the 24-hour automatic bank, and because we knew the name of this old woman, and even knew her date of birth, it was not difficult to recruit it, but we were worried about recruiting other ghosts except for Wang Shoubi's old woman. Hu Zongren thought about it and said don't worry, aren't there two big stone lions at the door? When we summon spirits, draw a rune to the lion's eyes, then those lonely souls and wild ghosts will not dare to come in, and I will write a name tag for this old woman and make a spiritual position, then I can accurately recruit in.
I nodded, and the second thing we needed to think about was how to keep the old woman in the ATM area when she came in, so that she wouldn't escape or run down the hall. I can tie a rope nail at the isolation door in the middle of the hall to block it from running into the hall, but there is another door that is troublesome, because that door is an automatic sensor door, and the worst thing is that this Wang Granny will also swipe the card. Hu Zongren thought for a while and said, let's wait a while, the area where you swipe the card on the inside, directly cover it with your dressing, and then after closing the door, draw a compress on the inside of the door, so that it will not dare to touch the card machine. I retorted to Hu Zongren and said, do you have a problem with your brain, looking at the dressing on the door, which ghost is so stupid to walk in? Hu Zongren thought about it again and said, what do we use to jam the door, so that it will not close to death, and the card can be opened again, wouldn't it be good?
Not to mention, what Hu Zongren said is really a good way, just like the trick we used to catch birds with a basket when we were children. Find a chopstick, lift one end of the basket, sprinkle some corn kernels or bread crumbs under the basket, and then tie an old rope to the chopsticks, as long as a bird enters to peck food, as long as the rope is pulled, the chopsticks will fall, and the basket will trap the bird inside. When I was a child, I used to play with the children in the factory, but we usually caught sparrows, and after playing for a while, we let them go. So I started looking around the table for things that I could use to block the door from closing, and finally I found a stapler.
I tied the stapler with a rope, and then walked to the automatic induction door, let President Xu swipe the card to open the induction door, and immediately put the stapler in the gap between the two doors, sure enough, it was able to clamp it, and then I asked President Xu to swipe the card, and when the door just opened, I pulled the rope from afar, and then the door closed tightly and seamlessly. After trying a few times, I found that there was no difficulty at all, and I couldn't help but say to Hu Zongren, I can't see that you are always not serious on weekdays, and you always think of some crooked tricks, which really helps you a lot. Hu Zongren crossed his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky, smiling, looking like a smug nymphomaniac. I told President Xu that the little girl at the counter should let her go back first, let's set up these things, so don't scare the little girl. So President Xu sent the girl away, and after she left, after the electronic sensor door was closed, I used their bank watering to draw a huge dressing on the door, and the position of the tic-tac-toe in the middle of the paper, exactly at the joint of the two doors. In this way, if I block the door with a stapler, the compress is not complete at all, has no deterrent effect on ghosts, and will not even be detected.
After a while, when the security master said, Hu Zongren walked outside the door, set up a name sign at the door in his way, lit incense and candles, although there were still a lot of pedestrians in the past, but most of them knew that these things were far away, so no one came to make trouble, but when Hu Zongren climbed on the stone lion, he looked at him with a very strange look. After Hu Zongren had taken care of all this, he went back to the bank, and when the sensor door closed, I also stuck the stapler there.
The security guard helped pull down the roller shutter door outside the 24-hour bank, but it was not closed, but left about 1.5 meters above the ground. I guess this height is probably the height of the mother-in-law Wang, and others usually don't come in when the door is closed. Then I stepped back to the other side of the door, and put the rope that held the stapler through the gap in the door, and there we stared at the door.
All that remains is to wait for Granny Wang's ghost to appear.
