Chapter 21. Water tank in the backyard
I asked Miss Tian if the face looked male or female. Miss Tian said that she couldn't tell the difference, and she felt more like a woman. To be honest, Miss Tian's description is also rich in my own imagination, so I am still a little scared. To pretend to be old-fashioned, I went into the shower and looked up at the exhaust fan overhead.
According to what Miss Tian just said, before she saw the human face, she first noticed the strange sound of the exhaust fan overhead, and then the light also appeared abnormal. This shows that the appearance of that face is more or less related to these phenomena. So I asked Miss Tian, what did you do after you saw the human face at that time? Miss Tian said that she was frightened at that time, so she couldn't help screaming, and just as she screamed, the underwear hanging outside the door suddenly shook, and the face disappeared. After sitting in the shower and being scared for a while, he found that there was no other movement, so he came out boldly.
Miss Tian said that she didn't dare to sleep at all that night, but drove to the city to stay in a hotel in the middle of the night, but then thought that the matter would not be resolved until it was resolved, so she found out Hu Zongren's contact information. Hu Zongren has been in a couple with Fu Yunni since that time, and it was once very popular in the entire Nan'an District. Because most of the masters on the road in the South Shore District want to sell Fu Yunni's father Fu Qiang to save face. In fact, the new tea garden area is separated from the south bank area and newly established a large area mainly used for residential buildings, which is not far from the main city but also a little far away, quiet, good air, and correspondingly, the housing prices are also quite high.
Miss Tian's house, conservatively estimated, will cost millions. In the process of entering the house and going upstairs just now, there were some photos hanging on the wall, but all of them were Ms. Tian's own art photos, and I didn't see anyone else in the whole room. In addition, there was such a big thing in the house, she did not ask her family to come back to accompany her, but ran to the city to live in a hotel alone, which shows that this house should belong to her alone, and she is not close to her relatives and friends.
So I had a very bold guess, but I didn't say it. The beautiful woman in front of her should have a past that everyone disdains to talk about.
Hu Zongren took Miss Tian's words and said that after he came into the house earlier today, he also asked a similar question to me, considering that the ghost had only appeared once so far in order to scare Miss Tian by raising his voice again and again to arouse Ms. Tian's attention. Moreover, considering that so far, Miss Tian is only mentally rested, and her body has not appeared any abnormalities because of ghosts, so Hu Zongren is looking for some furnishings that do not conform to the common sense of feng shui in the house. Hu Zongren told me that the entrance of this house is facing northeast, and the position belongs to the "Gen" position, and a ginkgo tree is planted on the "Dui" position due west. It stands to reason that the location of this house is actually a wealthy position, which means that it should not be related to the haunting. And there are some decorative objects in the house, such as an oil painting of a human figure hanging from the hallway from the living room to the garage, and a carved handicraft made of black iron is placed in the partition of the upper floor, and it is precisely that handicraft that is a willow tree. There are quite a few such questions.
I asked Hu Zongren, have you gone up to see the top floor? Hu Zongren said that he had seen it, and the top floor was a small attic with a spire. Miss Tian said that when she has a child in the future, she may use it as a child's bedroom. Now there are some miscellaneous items piled up, and some things that have been moved from the old house and have not had time to be released.
I nodded, thinking to myself that this means that Miss Tian has not lived here for long, otherwise it would be impossible to pile up the things she brought from the previous house. And the reason why it was not released was definitely not because there was no place to put it, how could such a big house not be able to put it, but because it was different from today's environment, and it would look out of place when it was put out. That almost shows that the things she brought are definitely not good things. This further confirms what I had in mind beforehand. I asked Hu Zongren, have you checked everything on the attic on the top floor? Hu Zongren said that he had checked them all, but for the sake of insurance, he still hoped that I could use the compass to backtest back and forth again.
So I started looking around for ghosts, and the top floor was clean, and because the area itself was not large, I quickly checked the third floor. The second floor is an area that I need to focus on, because according to Hu Zongren and Miss Tian, the place where Miss Tian heard those strange noises when she was resting was in the bedroom, and the place where she actually saw ghosts was in the bathroom. But in the bedroom, I found the rest of the bedroom clean except for the faint trace on the wall against the head of the bed. But in the bathroom it's a little more complicated. I found a small stool and lifted the lid of the exhaust fan on the top, and as soon as I lifted it, I smelled a very fishy smell. I used the compass to make up for a dozen and found that there was a reaction, but this reaction was from strong to weak until it was gone, which invisibly conveyed a message to me, that is, the ghost here knew that I was looking for it, and the reason why it avoided me meant that it knew what I was doing. By the same token, since it knows this, it means that it is not a foolish wild ghost wandering here for no purpose, but a relatively smart kind of person who has stayed in the house for some reason and refuses to leave.
I asked Hu Zongren, have you checked this place before? Hu Zongren said no. I said to Miss Tian, please turn off this convulsion first, I don't want to cut off my fingers later. So Miss Tian walked outside the door and pressed the switch, and I waited until the fan blades inside the exhaust fan were completely stationary, and found that there was that silvery-white powdery thing on the fan blades. And it's this kind of thing that gives off a supernatural reaction.
I've seen this thing many times, it's a substance left over after the ghost's energy has been consumed, and it's not easy to find on weekdays, so it's generally not used as a reference. But if one day you find the kind of silver powder in some corners of your home that ordinary people rarely touch, such as in the corner of the wall, behind the door, etc., then your home may have been patronized by a more powerful guy. But that's not a big deal, maybe it's just a matter of playing and leaving. But if the family is uncomfortable during this period, or if there is any strange phenomenon, please do not hesitate to find your local master, this is a typical "ghost disease".
The exhaust fan is connected to the ventilation duct, and there is a supernatural reaction here, indicating that this place must be an entrance and exit, and the ghost in the house should come in or leave through this place. I kept an eye on myself and exited the shower. I looked at the position under the hook and shook it with a compass, and there was a more obvious supernatural reaction. So I took out the small cloth pocket I had brought with me, poured a little grave dust into the palm of my hand, and then blew it over to the place where Miss Tian had said that the face was sticking to.
The translucent glass was soon stained with the dust of the grave. I took a closer look, and it was the lower part of a human face, still grinning and smiling stupidly. I called Miss Tian to my side and asked her guy, is that the face you saw that night like this? Miss Tian looked at it and said with some fear, this is it.
We walked out of the shower, and I told Miss Tian that Hu Zongren and I had something to discuss. So I pulled Hu Zongren to the staircase, and I told him that there are indeed traces of ghosts in many places on the second floor, and it is still there, and I know that we are here. But I found a problem, the vent connected to the exhaust fan, you will ask Miss Tian later, whether this house is equipped with central air conditioning, if so, then you go to find if there is anything that seems to be a problem near the outdoor air conditioner, if it is not a central air conditioner, this ventilation duct must be connected to the flue, you go to the kitchen flue to check it well.
Hu Zongren knew that I would definitely not lie to him, and although he was very good at fighting ghosts, when it came to detecting the supernatural and distinguishing the location of the supernatural, he was not my opponent. Hu Zongren asked me, then why are you going? I said I'd continue to look for anything suspicious in the house.
After saying that, I went downstairs and looked around on the first floor, while Hu Zongren ran to ask Miss Tian after I went downstairs. In fact, I deliberately asked him to ask for a reason, because after all, it is his next business, if I, the person who called to help, steal the limelight, then who will find him to do business in the future? Besides, I just happen to be a little better than him in this regard, when it comes to strength, I am actually similar to Hu Zongren, and I may not be as good as him.
To my surprise, the entire first floor was clean and I didn't find any traces of ghosts. But let me see the pair of digital 3D glasses and an S-shaped projector on the combination coffee table of Miss Tian's house made me envious, you know, this kind of glasses I only wore once at that time, a few months ago when I took Sister Cai to see the Avatar, I knew that the original 3D technology has developed to this point, and it is no longer the 3D that the red and blue lenses look particularly awkward earlier. After checking, I put the compass back in my bag. Then Hu Zongren came to me and said, this woman is really rich, not to mention that the air conditioner is central air conditioning, the house is full of floor heating, and the distribution box, outer chassis, and controller are all in the backyard of the house. You said that if all these things were turned on, the electricity bill would probably be thousands of dollars a month. I shrugged my eyebrows at Hu Zongren and said, then finish it later, and ask this woman to charge more money!
Miss Tian came downstairs and took us through the garage to the backyard, the difference between the backyard and the front yard is that it is relatively small, but Miss Tian was forced to build a pond without creation, and there is a rockery in the pond. There are some flowers and plants growing at will, and there is a cobblestone path in the middle, with tables and chairs on the side, and sun umbrellas on the side. It's nice to have a cool place in the summer in Chongqing, but until then, you have to be prepared to fight mosquitoes. Because this is a place where there is water and plants, mosquitoes are indispensable.
Miss Tian pointed to the chassis and said, the pipe is over there. I followed her point and saw that a tired colored steel pipe appeared on the outer wall of the house, with some small holes in between, presumably for dripping water or ventilation, and the direction of the pipe exit was directly facing the pond in the backyard. I suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and turned my head to look at Hu Zongren, who seemed to have noticed something in it.
Sure enough, Hu Zongren walked to the pond and asked Miss Tian, Miss Tian, where did you buy this big water tank?
