Chapter 174. Case 21: In the office

Hu Zongren stopped chewing potato chips in his mouth, probably because the clicking sound in his mouth was very similar to the sound of the old woman eating carrots at that time. So he threw the potato chips that he had grabbed in his hand back into the bag, and cleaned up the powder on his fingers by the way, and then he asked Mr. Yang, so there was the first witness, and the content of the witness was that an inexplicable old lady appeared in the supermarket in the morning, and the supermarket was not open to welcome customers at that time, and then saw that the old lady was eating carrots, right?

Teacher Yang said, that's pretty much it, this is just the beginning. Hu Zongren asked him again, cough What you just said, that staff member actually heard voices from several different places before he saw the old lady, right? Teacher Yang said yes, according to the staff member's own words. Hu Zongren asked again, why did you only see an old lady? Teacher Yang said, isn't this the reason why we need to ask you to investigate? In short, it was the first time that such a situation occurred that day, and I only saw one, and that was the old lady.

Hu Zongren asked Mr. Yang, what was the reaction of your staff when they saw the old lady? You don't see it and see it, and then you don't care, right? Mr. Yang said that he himself said that when he saw the old lady eating carrots, our staff's first reaction was not that they had hit a ghost, but they just felt strange, so they asked the old lady who are you and how did you get in? As a result, the old lady did not answer, but slowly and leisurely retracted her half-stretched body back behind the shelf, blocking the staff's view. And our staff put down the dish in his hand and planned to go over to see what was going on, just a few meters away, he just turned to look, but found that the back of the shelf was empty, there was nothing, the old lady was nowhere to be seen, so he began to wonder if he was in a trance Hallucinations, was wondering, but saw a pile of carrot residue on the ground, and a piece of carrot that had been gnawed off the end.

Teacher Yang said that it was only then that he realized that it was not his hallucination, and that he might have hit a ghost.

Mr. Yang went on to say that our employees have been distributing goods at this time for a long time, because they are night shift workers, and there are some elderly people, as a profession like them, they usually understand some situations that are occasionally encountered in night shift work, as well as some taboos that need to be paid attention to, etc., so at that time he mustered up the courage to recite Amitabha Buddha in his heart until after dawn, and then continued to distribute goods, so when we opened the door that morning, the dishes were not ready, and when I asked him that dayHe told me about the situation.

In fact, I also know that Mr. Yang is right, but all workers who work night shifts for a long time usually have some unwritten rules or experience left by their predecessors, such as taxi drivers, who usually do not go to the wilderness at night, let alone pick up passengers in the wilderness. For example, the bus driver, the driver of the last train, will also clean the carriage with a broom after the end of the shift, and muttered "get off the bus, get off" and the like while sweeping, and for example, the actor who needs to shoot a night scene, if he is anxious to urinate, he will also silently recite words like "no wonder", because in most people's eyes, the night is a period of high incidence of supernatural events, although this is a common phenomenon, but there is not much argument that ghosts only appear at night, but relatively speaking, People are more sensitive and scared at night, and maybe sometimes the person you pass by during the day is a ghost.

Mr. Yang continued, it was only the first time, I didn't really take it to heart after hearing it, as a working environment like a supermarket, everyone often has some gossip news, more strange than haunting, and I have the right to hear it as a story. However, about a week after that day, Mr. Yang himself was delayed because of his work, and the time to get off work was relatively late, and it was not necessarily late, but it was a little late for the commuting time, but at that time, the supermarket was still open, and the sales area was crowded, and the supermarket had not yet closed. I walked to the office of the manager on duty, and told him to finish the rest of the important work after closing the door, so I planned to leave the supermarket and go home.

Teacher Yang said that it was already dark at that time, and the office had turned off the lights and windows when I left, so if I didn't turn on the lights after opening the door, I would definitely not be able to see anything. After speaking, he pointed to his desk and said that I have a habit that when I am in the office, my mobile phone is usually not in my trouser pocket, but on the table, so when I opened the door that day and was about to turn on the light, I saw that my phone was on and went off quickly. Teacher Yang said that he didn't think much about it at the time, and thought that a message or phone call happened to come in, so he lit up the screen. When he turned on the light and looked at his phone, he found that there was no information or call history, but on his screen, he saw a dirty fingerprint that seemed to be a thumb. Mr. Yang subconsciously looked at his fingers and found that they were actually clean and clean, without any dirt, but at this time, he found that on his desk, there was a black handprint, the handprint was incomplete, at least the little thumb and the palm of the palm were invisible, compared it, and found that the black handprint on the table and the mark on his mobile phone were the same thing, and he looked carefully, but he couldn't tell what it was.

When he said this, Mr. Yang seemed to be a little uneasy, so he grabbed the potato chips in Hu Zongren's pocket in front of him, stuffed a few slices into his mouth, and said while chewing, the black substance, I can't tell what it is, but it looks like that kind of damp earth, or coal ash and something like it is formed by mixing with water. You can wipe it off with a paper towel, but when you come to your nose and smell it, you can smell a fishy smell and a little smelly.

I hurriedly asked Mr. Yang, is the smell of dead rats going down the drain or rotten eggs? Teacher Yang frowned and thought about it, he couldn't say that kind of taste, it was a bit like something because it was too damp and then moldy. Because of this strange handprint, he began to mumble in his heart, but since he had not seen it in person, he did not dare to make a conclusion, but regarded it as a strange thing and secretly paid attention to it. Mr. Yang told us that after returning home that day, he thought about this matter in his mind over and over again, although it seemed that it seemed to have something to do with the haunting in the previous events and the incident he encountered, but he couldn't convince himself, so he guessed that it could be a thief in the office, and when he was about to steal my mobile phone, he asked me to crash into the door, so he hid. The next day, I went to the office and tried to check the windows or doors for signs of damage, but when I looked at them, I began to feel that something was wrong.

Teacher Yang pointed to the top of the office door and said, "You are both not short, but can you kick that high?" I took a closer look, and then I realized that there were two footprints on the white wall almost two meters from the ground. The footprints are small, but they are not the footprints of a child, and in connection with the previous situation in the supermarket, I think this is the footprint of the old lady who ate carrots at the beginning. But this footprint looks like one left and one right, side by side, if someone is playing a prank, deliberately kicking so high, but now, it looks more like a person, standing perpendicular to the wall, and facing the ground, with his back to the ceiling, maybe that day Mr. Yang went back to the office to get his mobile phone, and the moment he opened the door, the old lady was standing on top of his head, looking at him directly.

Although it is a bit strange, the main reason why ghosts are easy to frighten others after being seen is that they often make some gestures that are difficult for us to understand, or have a face that makes people uncomfortable and frightened at a glance? If not, why should people be afraid of ghosts? If children deliberately fiddle with some intriguing poses because they are innocent, adults deliberately do this can be understood as pretending to be crazy and stupid, but if it is a ghost, it is to get your attention.

In fact, it is not difficult to analyze, for example, the click on the supermarket shelves at first, the ghost of the old lady could not have been noticed, or when there was only one staff member, but it did so. For example, the strange laughter and the half of the figure that the staff member saw when he turned his head were actually not necessary, because the ghost's fear of the living is largely the same as the fear of the living person's fear of ghosts, only the unknown and unpredictable. Mr. Yang went on to say that when he saw the pair of footprints that day, he also stepped on the stool to take a look, and found that the black part of the footprints happened to be the same as the black things he found on his mobile phone and table the night before.

Teacher Yang said that the environment in which we work is like this, and after a strange thing appears, it quickly spreads to everyone. So within a few days, rumors of haunting in the supermarket spread throughout the logistics department and management. There are many people who spread the word, and they are obviously not afraid, so they can't help but be afraid. Teacher Yang said, you look at the empty seats there, that is, after we appeared, they resigned and quit their jobs.

Hu Zongren said with a smile, it was so easy to be scared, what kind of psychological quality, and I didn't see it with my own eyes. After Mr. Yang was silent for a few seconds, he tore open a bag of shrimp crackers with a clatter, and said while eating, he really saw it later, and more than one person saw it.
