Chapter 49: Dark Shadows on Doors and Windows

When I first came to work here, Ah Xiang didn't notice anything strange about Hall 7, their employees' accommodation was in a separate two-story courtyard outside the palace, and the personal service was implemented here, so sometimes when I encountered a three-urgency, I didn't dare to leave for too long, and I would inevitably violate the rules.

In the first year, around the Midyear Festival, Ah Xiang remembers very clearly, because it is so high here, and far away from the city center, there is no light pollution, so the stars and moon can be seen very clearly. The moon that night was the hairy moon as the rural proverb was, in today's terms, the moon halo. The hairy moon, dusk and yellow, disappears and disappears, there is not much light, but it always gives people an eerie feeling.

On that day, Ah Xiang took care of a boss who came to talk about business, and he stood outside the door, and from time to time he had to go in to listen to orders. Those people were more able to play, and it was past 12 o'clock in the evening, and it didn't stop. In fact, there are shift changers, but Ah Xiang wants to get some overtime pay, so he has not rested. At about half past twelve, Ah Xiang was a little anxious, wanted to get on the tuba, and saw that the people inside were playing happily, and there was nothing to use for themselves, so he quickly slipped to the nearest public toilet.

That place is located right next to Building 7.

At that time, Hall 7 was also locked every night, Ah Xiang had no curiosity, so he didn't explore, he finished the bathroom, and when he was about to return to his post, he suddenly heard a small sound from Hall 7, like the sound of water.

Ah Xiang thought to himself; How can there be the sound of water at such a late hour? Could it be that someone is soaking in the hot springs? No, isn't this No. 7 always locked at night? Because it is an antique building, the doors and windows are carved window flowers, and through the frosted glass, you can vaguely see the inside of Hall 7.

I saw that it was dark inside, not even the lights were turned on, and the door was indeed locked, that is, it was impossible for anyone to soak in the hot springs inside, but the sound of the water never stopped.

This made Ah Xiang's heart a little hairy, so he didn't plan to look more, so he turned around and walked back, returning to his post, but he couldn't help but think of the strange sound of water in Hall 7. And some things are often more terrible when they think about it in hindsight, because the more Ah Xiang thinks about it, the more cold sweat breaks out, and he thinks of something wrong.

At night, the palace is very bright inside, when Ah Xiang stood outside Hall 7, the outside was brightly lit, and inside the carved and hollowed out door, it was ground glass, it stands to reason that even if the lights were not turned on inside Hall 7, then in that case, the outside lights could also penetrate through guò frosted glass into Hall 7. Ah Xiang shouldn't have seen nothing at that time.

But the truth is that what I saw at that time was a pitch black mess.

Ah Xiang thought of a terrifying possibility, that is, there was a black thing pasted on the door at that time, and what he saw was not the darkness in the hot spring pavilion, but the thing pasted on the door! Ah Xiang often goes in and out of it during the day, and naturally knows that there is nothing pasted inside the ground glass, so at that time, what is it that blocks his realization and is only separated from him by a layer of glass?

At that time, Ah Xiang didn't mention how terrifying it was, and he was scared to take a detour that night.

As a result, two days later, one of the customers here suddenly hanged himself. The customer had been on his honeymoon with his new wife for three days, and the relationship was really sweet and sweet, but on the morning of the fourth day, he died in the house. Later, according to the investigation, it turned out that it was because of some trivial things that night. His wife had an argument with him. In fact, it can't be said to be a quarrel, just an ordinary bickering, according to the method of the deceased on weekdays, he will often pull his wife over and kiss and touch and roll the sheets, and there will be nothing.

Who knew that night he was very abnormal, very impatient with his wife, and quarreled, so that his wife was also angry, and the two quarreled and went to sleep, until the next day, when his wife woke up, she saw the hanged man in the lobby.

At that time, it was less than two days after the Midyear Festival, according to the folk saying, it was not only the day of the Midyear Festival that the ghosts would come out of the nest, but before and after the Midyear Festival, it was a day when Yin Qi converged on the ecliptic, so a period of time before and after the Midyear Festival was a time when it was easy to 'have an accident and hit the evil'. At that time, Ah Xiang couldn't help but have an association, but after all, no one had ever seen a ghost, so he didn't think about it deeply.

After a pause, Ah Xiang suddenly said: "There is one more thing, don't be afraid when you say it." He stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, and said, "That man was hanged in this hall." ”

Shen Li gasped and exclaimed, "Damn, we spent so much money to listen to ghost stories, you didn't coax us, did you?" If you kid talk nonsense, I'll call you right away to complain. ”

Ah Xiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's true, I said, if it weren't for Boss Dou's good people, I wouldn't have told you this, I told you this, and I didn't benefit myself at all." Shen Li thought about it, and he was a little hairy, looked at me and said, "Why don't we go back tomorrow, just save money." ”

I glanced at Gu Da Meinu, and Gu Da Mei showed a wry smile on the corner of her lips, and said to me, "It seems that our luck is really not ordinarily bad." ”

I said, "I should be the one who said I was unlucky, and I chose the place." "After all, I'm a life that memorizes words, just like Conan, wherever I go, there will be a murder, and since the curse began to threaten to bankrupt me, my life has hardly stopped, and there is an ambush everywhere. This time the corpse fairy matter, the most painful thing is tofu, I put down a qiē, thinking about helping my brother get through this hurdle, and also brought Jiang Xingguo and the two to accompany them, the plan is not leaky, but who knows that it still hit the muzzle.

Tofu obviously thought of this, looked at me, and said; "Lao Chen, this story tells us that those who are unlucky will still stay at home obediently in the future."

I smiled bitterly, shook my head, and said, "I didn't understand it clearly this time, Ah Xiang, thank you," this place, Zhongyuan, and the hanged man, who knows the truth, no one can play anymore, so I decided to go back early tomorrow morning.

At this time, Wen Min changed the topic and asked Ah Xiang: "I see that you didn't look right before, like something happened?" ”

Ah Xiang's expression was even more strange, and he paused for a moment before saying, "This place is the third year this year, and the guest of the first year of the Midyear Festival hanged himself in this hall; The day before the Midyear Festival last year, there was another person who also committed suicide. ”

Tofu gasped and said, "Won't it be hanged too?" ”

Ah Xiang shook his head and said, "No, our palace is built on a mountain, with cliffs on both sides, and the guest left a suicide note, which is estimated to be a depression or something, and he committed suicide by jumping off the cliff." After a pause, he said: "Just now our manager said that there was a guest who was mentally ill, and he slashed people around with a knife, and two waiters died. ”

I said coldly: "Can you hide such a big thing?" ”

Ah Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "It's the employees who died, not the customers, just pay some money to the family, this palace is very profitable, this little money is nothing." The point is that I am afraid that if you know about it, it will affect the reputation of this place in the future. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Wen Min asked, "How is that mentally ill person now?" ”

Ah Xiang said: "I was knocked out by the security guard, he is a rich businessman, his family is not willing to make a noise, advocating to lose money, and now he is tied to the bed, they are ready to leave overnight......" The words did not fall, the walkie-talkie on his waist lit up again, Ah Xiang said sorry, and turned on Bluetooth.

We couldn't hear what was said in the headphones, and Ah Xiang's face turned white in an instant, and his voice was excited: "What? So what now? ”

"Okay, okay, I know......" Immediately after, he cut off the Bluetooth, looked at us directly, and said: "The mountain collapsed, the road was blocked, the patient escaped from the car, the rain was deep in the forest, and the ...... could not be found."

Wen Min took a deep breath and said, "Sue your manager, you must strengthen security." Judging by the patient's condition you described, it is likely that he has homicidal tendencies, which is how many psychopathic murderers come from...... With such a heavy rain, there are only three possibilities, one is that he went down the mountain, but now the road is broken, directly in the mountains in the rain and darkness, and the chance of falling to death is very high; The second is that he is still wandering in the woods, but now it is dark and rainy, and there is a landslide, so it is not suitable to go out to find people; Third...... He will most likely return. ”{

Shen Li's frightened fat face was full of sweat, he raised his hand to wipe it, looked at Gu Da Beauty, and said, "Sister, your analysis is too incisive, what do you do?" ”

Wen Min ignored Shen Li's questioning and said to Ah Xiang: "Immediately convey my words, I am a policeman." ”

Ah Xiang almost bit his tongue, and his expression became overwhelmed, and said: "Police, police, this is not good, the leader asked me to hide this matter, and if I say it, my job will be gone." I said, "Do you want a job or do you want a life?" ”

Ah Xiang cried and said: "This job is my life, and my family is pointing to me to live." ”

Tofu patted Ah Xiang on the shoulder and said, "If you really lose your job for this, you can come to me, we have a store, the salary is not low, and there is just a shortage of people in the shop." "I said strangely, the three big men in our shop have done all the work, where is there still a shortage of people? However, it was rare for Tofu to be in good spirits, so I didn't interrupt him. Ah Xiang has a good impression of tofu, and when he heard this, his eyes rolled a few times, then he nodded and started talking.

After a while, Ah Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I've been fired, Boss Dou, you have to talk and count." ”

I said, "Don't worry, it definitely counts, but the ugly words are ahead, if you don't do a good job, I will still fire you for squid." What did you guys say? ”

Ah Xiang said: "The manager is bringing people over, probably to see Officer Gu." ”
