Sister Zhang then told us that it was not only that, at first their management thought that maybe it was some mechanical failure, since no one was injured and the cause could not be found, then they could only make do with it. You can't spend a lot of money to re-equip the elevator because of the dissatisfaction of some owners, right? But later, some elderly people living in this building also said that when they took the elevator upstairs, they occasionally heard women crying.

Hu Zongren and I didn't speak, so Sister Zhang explained that this building is a single building, made by a small developer, so although the floor is relatively high, there are only two elevators. The businesses in the podium, such as car dealers or supermarkets, do not occupy this high-rise elevator, at most they are just from the garage on the second floor to the LG floor after a customer parks in the garage. And the complaints they received here did not come from the podium below, all of them were the residents upstairs. When the old men talked about the woman's crying, it caught the attention of Sister Zhang. So without alarming other employees, she called up a lot of surveillance footage in the elevator to check.

Hu Zongren interrupted Sister Zhang and said, but there is only an image and no sound in the elevator monitoring, how can you find out who is crying. Sister Zhang nodded and said, at first she also thought of this, because the monitoring equipment in this community belongs to the flash memory type, that is to say, it can record about a week or so of video video, and then after a week if there is no theft or serious accident, the system will automatically delete the previous video, so as to save space in a cycle, probably this is what it means, and it just so happens that during the period when she began to look through the video, there were several owners whose hair was sucked up. The form is exactly the same as what the owner of the 17th floor who complained about it was the same.

Sister Zhang said that when she looked through the video of that day, she was very surprised to find that at the moment when the hair of one of the owners was sucked up, in a corner of the surveillance, several slender and slender things that seemed to be fingers appeared, flashing. Hu Zongren said, so you suspect that this house is haunted, and this ghost is lying on the top of the elevator car, and if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, he will pull people's hair with black hands, right?

Sister Zhang was noncommittal, but continued, because the surveillance camera of the elevator is installed on the left rear side, and the angle of view includes all positions except the blind spot at the top of the elevator and the rear left corner, and it is precisely because the top cannot be photographed, so the few finger-like things that appear inexplicably at the top will look particularly strange. If there is really something hidden in the blind spot of the surveillance, then the finger-like thing should not come out of the top.

Sister Zhang said that then she repeatedly fixed the frame to check the moment when the finger appeared, and in less than a second, when it appeared, the owner's hair was floating upward, and when it disappeared, it was as if it was being pulled by something. In this way, Sister Zhang began to believe what the old man in the building said about the woman's crying in the elevator.

Hu Zongren asked Sister Zhang, do you still have that video here? Sister Zhang said yes, and Zhilu said that he was ready to come. Hu Zongren said, "Okay, please show us it."

The surveillance screen is really as Sister Zhang said, if you don't pause or slow down to watch, it really looks like your hair is being pulled by your hands, and then we slow down, or even stop to look carefully, and there is no doubt that it is a few fingers.

In this way, the matter is already qualitative. That means that Hu Zongren has earned this money. So Hu Zongren proposed that he wanted to go to the elevator to take a look at the scene, and by the way, let Sister Zhang make a copy of all the weird videos she currently has in her hand, and we have to study them carefully. Sister Zhang was a little embarrassed and said, this elevator, at the end of the office, when you came just now, I took you to the stairs, that's because I really don't have the courage to take the elevator.

After saying that, Sister Zhang took us towards the elevator, but depending on what she meant, she was unwilling to follow us into the elevator. We took a closer look at the terrain, the entire negative first floor, is the property management office and the rest room of the security personnel, at the end of the corridor is an open space, the doors of the two elevators are side by side in the middle, and around the side of the elevator shaft, is an arc-shaped lane, I think it is prepared for the vehicles coming in from outside to go down to the negative second floor. After sending us to the elevator door, Sister Zhang pointed to an elevator on the left and said, this one is the one that had an accident, and the other one is completely good, please two, please be sure to check this matter for us.

Hu Zongren opened his mouth and asked Sister Zhang, this elevator can also sit on the second floor, right? Sister Zhang said yes, the owners of cars in the building went directly to the elevator from the negative second floor after parking. Hu Zongren said again, this negative second floor is the bottom floor of this building, right? Sister Zhang said yes, and further down, it's a foundation septic tank or something. Hu Zongren nodded and said, Okay, let's go to the second floor and sit.

So Hu Zongren pulled me down the roadway, asked me for a cigarette on the way, and told me that none of the ashtrays in my mother's office could be regarded as suffocating me.

Walking to the second floor, there were densely parked cars, and there was an old man at the elevator who specialized in issuing cards and charging fees. He was probably still wondering why the two young men were going to come down and take the elevator here. Hu Zongren and I put out the cigarette butts after pressing the elevator, and as soon as the elevator arrived, we immediately drilled up.

It was a weekend, and it was almost noon, and there were basically no people. So after entering the elevator, Hu Zongren began to start from the LG floor and pressed all the way to the 22nd floor, it seems that this building has 22 floors. After pressing, he shamelessly gestured a V-shaped hand to the surveillance camera, which looked very much like a lobster. I took a closer look at the car. The inner wall is plastered with all kinds of small advertisements, mainly to dredge the pipe, unlock the lock, or something, the elevator is close to the side of the screen display hangs something similar to the radio, as soon as the elevator runs, the radio begins to play some advertising information, such as emotional intelligence education or English training. The floor of the elevator is made of stone, surrounded by frosted stainless steel plates, and the absence of reflective phenomena greatly reduces the possibility of haunting of this type of elevator. The top of the elevator is relatively dilapidated, and the lampshade used for lighting has disappeared completely, revealing a naked fluorescent tube, and around the lamp tube, there is a "mouth" shaped ventilation hole with a small fence. Presumably this is the opening that sucked the owner's hair in the first place.

When I got to the LG floor, no one got on the elevator, so after closing the door, Hu Zongren said to me, use your compass to see what is wrong. So I took out my compass and began to look around, but strangely enough, I didn't find any sign of the ghost.

This shouldn't have been, if the video that Sister Zhang showed us at that time was not faked, even if the ghost was not in the elevator at the moment, then at least it had appeared here, since it appeared, then I shouldn't have been unable to find its traces. Just like that, the elevator went all the way to the top floor, but there was still nothing wrong with it. So we sat down the top floor back to the first floor, during which other owners went to the elevator, and our compass nails should not be taken out to scare people. After returning to Sister Zhang's office, Hu Zongren said that we had carefully checked the elevator, and not only did we not see the phenomenon of sucking the hair as you said, but we didn't even find any traces of ghosts inside. Hu Zongren said that it was strange, but he couldn't figure out what it was for the time being.

So Hu Zongren said to Sister Zhang, let's borrow your computer, and we'll watch this video again. So for the next hour or so, Hu Zongren and I squatted in front of the computer, repeatedly comparing the paragraphs, looking at them, we all seemed to see something wrong, because in the existing videos, we found a few things in common.

The first common point is that the phenomenon of sucking hair has occurred, and the owners who have been recruited are all women, and they are all relatively young women who look less than 30 years old, and there are a few of them who have Hu Zongren's appetite, and I can see from his smashing mouth. Second, these women who were recruited were all long-haired, black-haired, straight-haired, at least the hair could grow to the top of the elevator with the owner's own height. The third is that whether it is these female owners, or the old people who noticed the crying as Sister Zhang said later, the time of the hair pulling incident and the crying all occurred at 7:48 pm.

In addition, Hu Zongren and I also noticed that one of them at about 7:48 p.m., someone also got on the elevator, but it was a middle-aged man, with a child who looked like a primary school student, the man was very tall, and the position where he stood was the place where his hair was most likely to be sucked, but he didn't have anything to do at all, and he got off by himself after arriving at the floor. And the fourth commonality, which we think is the most crucial, is that all the residents who have been tricked or heard crying live on the 10th floor of this building.

It must be said that this has greatly narrowed the scope of our investigation. So Hu Zongren and I made a relatively reliable guess, that is, this ghost is specifically targeting women, and they are all young and good-looking women. Second, since it allows the old people to hear their own cries, if it is not to hurt and scare the old people, then it is to attract the attention of the old people.

And why choose the elderly? There are a lot of possibilities, so far, Hu Zongren and I really don't have a clue about this, although children and the elderly belong to the two ends of the life trajectory, and they are also the most ghost-prone group, but if we just make a conclusion, it seems to be unconvincing.

Looking at the time, it was just over 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It was still a long time before 7:48 p.m., because Hu Zongren and I both thought that if we wanted to find out the traces of this ghost, we would probably have to wait until evening. After being silent for a while, Hu Zongren touched me and said let's go, follow me out.

After speaking, he stood up and said to Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang, we are going out to prepare some necessary things now, don't be busy walking after work today, wait for us in the office, we will come back at about 5 o'clock, and you may need to cooperate with it then. Sister Zhang wondered, what do you want me to cooperate, if I know what to do, why would I invite you to come. Hu Zongren said that you only need to put the fence of the elevator maintenance on the ground floor at that time, and then change the wire control so that people can't press the elevator.

Hu Zongren and I walked out of the office and walked to the Pingjie level. He asked me again for a cigarette and lit it. I asked him, what else do you have to prepare, with all the things you have with you? Hu Zongren said, do you know where in Chongqing are selling costumes and props? I was still puzzled, and replied that I knew the road, and there were a lot of people at these two intersections in the area of Loquat Mountain, so what were you doing there? He still didn't answer me, and then thought about it and said, how much money do you have with you? I touched my buttocks, not because I was satisfied with the shape of my buttocks, but because my wallet was habitually put in my butt bag, and I said that it was only a few hundred yuan, and I said first that I couldn't lend you money! He smiled and said, Ha Luha, that's not necessary, a few hundred yuan, it's enough.

I pressed him on, what the hell are you going to do?

He spat out a puff of cigarette, then reached out and dug his nostrils, and said nonchalantly, let's buy a wig and pretend to be a woman.
