Chapter 39. Case 7: Important clues
Got a cut in your stomach? Hu Zongren and I said it in unison. Mr. Huang looked at the two of us in confusion, apparently he didn't think it would be a more important clue. In 2004, I once handled a case, and I was also a female ghost, and I also had a big mouth on my stomach. After the most investigation, it was found out that the cause of death of this woman was due to the improper operation of the obstetrician, specifically because of the overdose of anesthesia or cut to the artery, I forgot, in short, the woman died on the operating table, caesarean section, the child was saved, but life and death are forever separated.
Hu Zongren probably encountered a similar situation, so when Mr. Huang said this, we thought that we both thought about whether this female ghost could be a pregnant woman who died because of a similar incident. After all, a woman with a cut in her belly, isn't the first thing that comes to mind is a caesarean section?
So Hu Zongren told Mr. Huang and Sister Zhu what we thought, and asked them if any pregnant women they knew each other had recently died and had not even saved their children. Mr. Huang was very puzzled after hearing this, he said, we don't know any pregnant women, and our husband and wife are the youngest in both families, and even our children are about to go to middle school, where is the pregnant woman. Besides, the female ghost I saw last night looked older than my wife, and it could never be a pregnant woman.
Since Mr. Huang was so firmly vetoed, then we can only find another way, so Hu Zongren asked Mr. Huang, your wife only saw one eye at first, and you also saw half of the body, can you tell us what kind of clothes you are wearing, what are the more obvious features, etc. Mr. Huang recalled that he was wearing a pair of gray-green, because after he was woken up by his wife, he turned on the bedside lamp, the light was not very bright, so he was not sure whether this color was accurate, in short, it looked more like gray, and because of the relationship between the head and feet, the clothes had been lifted up, and the body looked dirty, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was blood stains or dirt, the clothes fell very down, and the buttons were broken, and the chest could be seen.
Hu Zongren paused for a moment, and then asked, is it a big deal? I reached out and kicked him, and the little thumb on my foot hit the foot of the tea machine, and it hurt so much that I was almost peeing out. Hu Zongren hurriedly changed the topic and said, is there any other situation? Mr. Huang said no, the two of them didn't sleep all night that night, and the family of three worked on the floor in the living room for another night, and continued to look for the master early the next morning, which found the two of us.
Hu Zongren nodded and said, then we are basically clear about the situation, let's start now, let's check your house first. Sister Zhu looked at the two of us and said, you two look so young, is it really okay? Can we trust you? Hu Zongren smiled and said to her, do you have any other choice but us now?
According to my usual way, I first stopped the rope head nail at the entrance, and there was a small carpet where Sister Zhu's house entered, so for the sake of insurance, I also drew a compress with incense ash on the stall, and told Sister Zhu and his wife, from now on, no matter whether we can solve all the problems today, your people should not step on this compress when they go in and out of the door, because it is incense ash on it, and if something comes into your house, it will leave traces, footprints, or handprints. The couple nodded in agreement. Then Hu Zongren walked to the door of a few houses to check, there was still a talisman left by the previous Taoist priest, Hu Zongren looked at the other party's talisman and said to me, no wonder now our group of people are regarded as evil demons, there are too many liars, and our reputation has been ruined. After saying that, he tore off the talisman and handed it to me, I also smiled at a glance, this is a Tai Sui talisman, although the power of the Tai Sui talisman is not small, but most of it is used for prevention, suitable for Tai Sui Nian, when it comes to the house to cure ghosts, it is really not the same thing, the funniest thing is that this Taoist priest pretended to draw a talisman, but even the talisman did not add, you must know that most of the talismans of the Taoist Taoist can not only be physical and unintentional, the importance of the talisman for the Taoist talisman is the same as the financial signature on the check, I really don't believe that this Taoist priest is careless, It's a liar at all.
But Zhu You's spells are a little different, because the group is different, so many charms do not deliberately require things like runes, such as snakes, insects, rats and ants, such as the treatment of stuck fish bones and hiccups, all of which only need to be drawn and burned to melt the water. So I looked at the talisman, crumpled it up, threw it on the ground, and told the couple that even if you plastered your whole room with such a fake talisman, you would not be able to prevent anything.
I continued to follow Hu Zongren with the compass and searched room by room, until I checked the whole room, but I found that there was nothing in this room. Generally speaking, if there is a ghost place, even if the place where the ghost appears is outside the house, such as Mr. and Mrs. Huang, who only saw it on the canopy, there should be more or less a little bit in the house, which is not at all, but I didn't think of it at all. Looking at the whole house, the only thing I haven't checked so far is the canopy outside the bedroom. Needless to say, there must have been a supernatural reaction, because Sister Zhu and her husband had witnessed the abnormality there several times. But I still have to be cautious in front of the client, in order to prove it to them, I risked falling off the 22nd floor, let Hu Zongren pull my leg under the bench, I put the compass to the edge of the canopy, and when I didn't get closer, the compass began to rotate rapidly, although I had expected it but I was still taken aback, this kind of forwarding, but a strong kind of resentment.
After I returned to the house, I mixed the water with incense ash and drew a dressing on a mirror, which was found from Sister Zhu's dressing table, which was a small mirror with plastic edging that could stand, and because of this, I was able to fix it to the windowsill, so that the mirror was aimed at the edge of the canopy and the small opening on the canopy. Sister Zhu asked me why I didn't seal the small opening, and I told her that my purpose was to let the ghost see the mirror. After everything was checked, Hu Zongren and I both found that just like this was just waiting for the rabbit, because no one knew whether the female ghost of Lu Dao would not come today, and after coming and seeing my dress, would she immediately run away without a trace, if she really ran away this time, it would be even more difficult to find it again. So I asked Sister Zhu, is there a way for you to ask the property management management to get the key and let me go to the upstairs room?
Sister Zhu said that she was not sure, maybe she could, but even if she got the key, she would send staff to the room on the 23rd floor together, and someone could not do anything if she was staring. I thought to myself, it is true, for things that I am not sure of, I often encounter a little resistance and then look for another way, and it is precisely because of this that I have been doing things safely for so many years. At this time, Hu Zongren suddenly shook his head and said, we have so little news now, we can't be sure where this ghost came from, her appearance according to your description, it must be a ghost, but her stomach is open but she is not pregnant, then her death must be terrible, and it will not be for no reason to find you and your wife, your community is new, and the house is also new. Unless it was when the foundation was laid, other people's graves were damaged, but this generation was originally by the river, and even if there was a grave, it was an early old grave, and it was too long ago to form such a strong grudge, even if there was, it shouldn't keep pestering your family, right? Mr. Huang said that it is definitely impossible to talk about the long time, because although the female ghost he saw had buttons on her clothes, it looked more like today's clothes, similar to work clothes.
We went back to the living room and sat down, and for a moment we lost our minds, for according to the two victims, the ghost only appeared at night, at least for now, and it was difficult to summon it in the middle of the day. So Hu Zongren began to try to find more information in the mouths of the couple. He asked Mr. Huang and Sister Zhu, have any of the people you know around you have died recently? The relationship is a little more familiar.
Mr. Huang thought about it and said, this is really not, the couple has been married for a long time, and most of the relatives and friends on both sides overlap, so if there is a similar time, the two of them will definitely go to the funeral. At this time, Sister Zhu suddenly seemed to think of something, she reached out to cover her mouth in surprise, and then looked at Mr. Huang, looking like she wanted to say something.
Hu Zongren and I are both people who have seen a lot of this kind of expression, so we know very well that at this time, Sister Zhu must have noticed something new, and she wanted to speak and stopped, but she was just struggling in her heart and not sure if this matter was related to what happened to her. So I hurriedly said to Sister Zhu, if you know what to say, just say it, don't care if it's useful or not, one more piece of news will have one more reference, one more possibility, if you don't say it, we may be stuck here forever, so how can I help you?
I deliberately said that the consequences were serious, because there were indeed many times before because of the concealment of the victim, which caused us to be troubled by the investigation, and we took many detours. Sister Zhu was still very uncertain and said, if you want to talk about dead people, there is a person next to me who has died recently, but he is not familiar with me, just a colleague.
She paused and said, in fact, they are not even colleagues, they are just some temporary workers recruited by our company. Immediately after that, a frightened expression appeared on Sister Zhu's face, and she began to hold her face with both hands and screamed in panic, Hu Zongren and I both stood up and looked at Sister Zhu. After calling for a while, Sister Zhu said, I think I know who she is, she is the cleaner of our company, I don't know what Lu Dao's name is!
Hu Zongren asked her, when did she die and how did she die? Sister Zhu said in a trembling voice that she died two months ago and committed suicide by jumping off the building.
