Chapter 14. Ticket

Teacher Ma and Director Wang looked puzzled, maybe they didn't know what Hu Zongren would suddenly ask this question so jumping, but they thought about it for a moment and said in unison, yes, there is more than one.

Earlier, when Director Wang introduced himself to us in his office, he mentioned that although he has worked in the school for many years, his qualifications are still not as old as Teacher Ma. As for why he became the director of academic affairs, he didn't say anything. But at the moment, if both teachers said that there had been such incidents, then it would be a step closer to Hu Zongren's speculation and me.

Teacher Ma said that in the nineties, I can't remember exactly which year, but there was a student who was in a car accident when he was returning home on the weekend, and his family overturned when they drove to pick them up, and they all died. For this matter, the school also held a memorial service for that classmate on campus. But it was a male classmate who died that time. Hu Zongren shook his head and said that it would definitely not be this. Teacher Ma then recalled that another time happened in 2000, when a female student from other places went outside the school after class, probably to eat, and was crushed to death by a large truck reversing on the slope to the right of the main entrance of our school. At that time, the school also held a special meeting for the safety of students in their spare time, and invited teachers and students from many schools in our jurisdiction to participate.

I do remember this incident, because I was in Yunnan that year, and my mother called me and said that a female student near my school was run over by a large truck, and asked me to pay attention to safety outside and not cross the highway or something. Since my mother told me so, it means that many people must have known about this incident in the vicinity of Wulidian at that time.

So when he said this, Mr. Ma and Director Wang seemed to have thought of something, especially Mr. Ma, who looked back and forth at me and Hu Zongren with a frightened face, and stopped talking. Hu Zongren said to Director Wang, Director, let's go back to the school, you check the school's historical files, call more people who knew about the matter in the early years, find the girl's name and the photo of the original enrollment and birth information, etc., let's go back and deal with this matter tonight. Director Wang asked, it's not difficult to check the person, but how do you deal with it?

Hu Zongren said, I want to talk to her.

After continuing to talk with Mr. Ma for a while, I found that Mr. Ma had no way to provide us with any valuable information since his memory was interrupted. However, he said earlier that he had a few seconds of consciousness after fainting, and we don't know what this was for. So we said goodbye to Mr. Ma and asked him to rest at home, and Hu Zongren also copied his phone number to him, saying that as soon as tonight passed, the school would be clean, and asked him not to live up to the good intentions of the school leaders to keep him, and there was no need to continue to be afraid.

Because of his sincerity, Mr. Ma also believed it. So we followed Director Wang and drove back to school. It's almost 11 o'clock at night, and the school's curfew time has long passed, and the two little security guards at the school gate are getting together to laugh and laugh, probably telling some erotic jokes. Director Wang took us back to his office first, and then along the way, he kept calling people to ask about the original situation, and even temporarily dug up the faculty member who was in charge of the school's student registration files out of the dormitory and returned to the office to find the files.

Director Wang told us that the student's student registration information and personal files are temporarily placed in the school for trusteeship and recording when the student enrolls, and will be handed over to the new school or unit after graduation, or some are taken away by themselves and hosted elsewhere, so what the school can find here is some basic information when the dead female student was filed, such as enrollment registration photo, identity information, etc. The school's file management and police station are different, and they will not be cancelled because of the death of a student, which I still think is very humane.

After tossing back and forth for more than half an hour, the teacher in charge of the materials was very unhappy to find the admission materials, and then took them to the office and handed them to Director Wang, who said that there is nothing wrong with you, go back and rest. The teacher left very unhappily, she probably didn't know that the dossier she was holding in her hand might be the key to solving the school haunting incident.

Hu Zongren opened the information bag, took out a few forms inside, and then I looked at it with him. This girl has a nice name, her surname is Qin, and she won't mention her name out of respect for the deceased, so I'll call her, classmate Qin. is a very handsome little girl, born in Yunyang County, Chongqing, in 1999, born in 1982. Hu Zongren touched me with his elbow and said to me, do you think the female ghost that Teacher Ma said will be this female student? I said for sure, you see the right side of her face in the photo, there is a mole.

My habit is that when you decide on something, as long as you find the slightest evidence to corroborate it, then the matter is basically a foregone conclusion for me. Because after all, we can't solve cases with many policemen, to have enough evidence, we can only check part of it, and then speculate on part of it, otherwise after all, life and death are different, even if there is a way to communicate with each other between the two worlds, it will be a matter of great loss for the masters of any faction. Since we are doing things with money, sometimes, we can't do everything very carefully. Fortunately, my own luck is not bad, for so many years, I have not handled a few unjust, false and wrongful cases, and even if I do, it means that my cultivation is not enough, and it is counted as a crime.

Hu Zongren nodded, picked up a pen and paper and wrote down some of the key information he needed. Then I looked at the time, it was already approaching the time, at this point in time, we used to do the thing of summoning ghosts, and I don't know if Lu Dao is in the relationship, the two of us were originally two good young people, but they have become more numb to this kind of terrifying feeling. I'm not saying that we're not scared, but he and I must be the two who are less likely to be scared under the same circumstances.

After walking to the classroom, I asked Director Wang, do you want to follow us in to observe the whole process, or are you just waiting for us outside? Director Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said, I'll just stand outside, I don't dare to look at those things. I said, aren't you afraid that the two of us will pretend to be ghosts and mess around inside for a while and come out to tell you what happened? Director Wang said with a smile, little brother, what are you talking about, I have really seen enough in the past half a day, the two of you are capable people, I fully believe you. I ignored him, so I nodded and followed Hu Zongren into the classroom.

The array of ropes I had formed earlier at the door of the locker was still there, and there was not the slightest trace of the grave on the ground being blown away or manipulated, which meant to me that the ghost in the locker was being trapped, or it was weak, because it would not even struggle. Otherwise, she didn't even think about resisting, and was waiting for us to take her on her way.

I must admit that I am more convinced of the second case.

Hu Zongren followed the method of asking ghosts from their Yaoshan faction to ask questions, first placing charms, money paper, and bells on the ground from left to right, and then placing the gossip bag in front of these three items. Then he recited a whole set of scripture spells for conjuring spirits according to the lineage, and of course the name and birth date were replaced by this classmate Qin's. I had been standing behind Hu Zongren, holding a compass in my hand, so that I could detect any sudden and violent movement of the soul, because then I would have to remind Hu Zongren that the ghost's current mood was very unstable and could not be forced.

Luckily, as I guessed, Qin didn't show any signs of rebellion against the call. It was very cooperative, as if it had wanted to leave for a long time. So I motioned to Hu Zongren to ask whatever he wanted, but considering that the ghost has been there for so many years, it is better not to ask too deep questions. Through questioning, it was learned that the method and approximate time of the girl's death were actually the same as the previous news, but the reason why she left the school to go outside was not as the school said at the beginning to go shopping after class and had an accident. It was because of this classmate Qin who was discovered by the teacher that he was cheating during the exam, and then confiscated the test papers and kicked out of the examination room. She was very flustered at the time, but she didn't know what to do, so she encountered an accident when she wandered aimlessly outside the school.

There are two reasons why classmate Qin has not been able to leave for so many years, the first is that her death method was originally a fatal death, and unless she has no concern, it is difficult to leave safely without guidance. The second reason was because she still had something left in the school. I asked Hu Zongren what she had in school, and could she still find it? Hu Zongren asked Qin my question, and the answer he got was that he had his own admission ticket.

I wondered what was the big deal with this broken card. Later, I learned from Hu Zongren that this was also justified. The photo on Qin's admission ticket was the last photo she had taken before she died, and because her family lived far away, it was unrealistic to send the body back to the local funeral at that time. Therefore, when the mourning hall was erected, the photo on the admission ticket was cut out and used to expand the image to make a posthumous image, and the photo was returned to Qin's parents, but the admission ticket was still left in the school.

I thought to myself that this is the end of the story, this teaching building was rebuilt after the death of this classmate Qin, according to Hu Zongren's relay, the old site of this building, the location of the classroom, should be the place where classmate Qin was caught cheating and driven out of Lu in the early years, which can explain why she has always appeared in this fixed position, and the storage room is relatively damp and dark, and the classrooms are full of young students, full of vitality, so it is invisibly only left such a small place to stay. But if you want me to find a small admission ticket in the vast confines of this new building, it is almost impossible.

Hu Zongren was obviously aware of this problem, so he told classmate Qin that there was no way to retrieve her previous admission ticket, but he could think of a remedy, which was to use the photo on her admission information to make a new admission ticket for her. Asked if this would work, after some communication, although this was not a perfect ending, classmate Qin finally agreed, because she had always felt that her death was closely related to the exam, so she reappeared in the examination room invigilated by Teacher Ma, although she may not have been Teacher Ma's student at that time. And being caught cheating is a very humiliating and unpleasant thing in itself, and it makes sense for her to die with such emotions, which is difficult to let go.

So Hu Zongren asked me to tell Director Wang about the situation and prepare as soon as possible. I took the photo and walked outside the door to tell Director Wang what happened, and then the two of us trotted back to Director Wang's office, rummaged through the Internet to find some templates for the admission ticket of that era, printed them, pasted the photos, and sent them to Hu Zongren in a panic.

When all the required things were in place, Hu Zongren ensured that Classmate Qin no longer had any other obsessions besides that, he began to rise up, and in the last step, he burned the talisman on the ground and all the things we had about Classmate Qin, including the indiscriminate admission ticket. Hu Zongren collected all the ashes into his gossip bag and said to me, this classmate Qin, he still has to take it back and observe it for a while. After all, I have been dead for so long, and the admission ticket is now prepared, after all, it is not perfect. I nodded, since this was his business, it should be up to him to decide.

Then the two of us called Director Wang to the classroom, and repeatedly assured that the classroom was clean, because although the soul of classmate Qin was still in Hu Zongren's bag at the moment. Director Wang was still happy, and gave Hu Zongren a commission, and Hu Zongren also apologized to Director Wang after getting the money, saying that he was a little bold at the beginning, and hoped that Director Wang would not take it to heart. In fact, we often tell many customers that this ghost thing, in the final analysis, is a hammer deal, and no one expects to cooperate again in the future, so when parting, leave a good impression on each other, and feel more comfortable.

In the taxi where Hu Zongren took me home, we were both exhausted, and I was about to send a message to Sister Cai saying that I would be going home soon when I suddenly received a message from an unfamiliar number.

The number is a long number similar to mass messaging software, and the content of the message is a sentence that looks like a poem:

"It's not my Xuanyuan people, it's clear that it's in the red dust. Holding the yin and yang talisman, his feet step through the door of life and death. ”

My mobile phone is the same number for life and work, so it is inevitable to receive some strange messages, such as loans, invoices, and even someone pretending to be my relatives to give me a bank card number to ask me to send money, but this kind of text message is the first time I have received it. So I handed Hu Zongren my phone, and was about to mock him for his literacy because his comprehension was really poor. When he saw this message, his face suddenly became ugly.

I was taken aback and asked him what had happened, but instead of answering, he broke my phone in half with brute force, then opened the window and threw it out.

I opened my mouth wide in pain, this phone was the first smartphone in my life! And it's Nokia's! Why did you break it off for me with your bare hands, don't you know that Nokia can smash walnuts? Don't you know that Mr. Lu Dao Li's mobile phone also downloads a lot of life films that make people's blood swell? ? Before I had time to scream, Hu Zongren suddenly smiled bitterly and said to me:

"Brother, we're getting someone's attention again."
