Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Esplanade Building
"Ahh ……”
"Help!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
In the monitoring room of the Binhai Building, the property manager Liu Hui and the security captain, as well as several security officers, were watching the surveillance footage together.
While the picture was playing, a poignant male voice full of horror suddenly came out.
It's late at night. And this surveillance video is just over half an hour ago.
Some of the lights in the building have been turned off, and the light in the surveillance is dim.
In this darkness, Liu Hui clearly saw that a young man who seemed to be working overtime or on duty at night was sitting in the corner of the wall, waving his arms wildly in front of him, as if he was fighting with some invisible enemy, or trying to drive something away.
His face was so frightened that his entire face was distorted.
His pants were already wet, and there was an unknown fluid flowing from under him, as if he was frightened into incontinence.
He just like that, waving his arms and shouting miserably. It lasted about a few minutes, and after a particularly chilling scream, he suddenly lost his movements.
Apparently, he died.
The horror and distortion on his face froze.
After a few more minutes, another staff member rushed over, and when he saw the former, who had turned into a corpse, he collapsed to the ground in fright. After that, more people rushed over, as did the uniformed security guards.
There was chaos in the surveillance footage. Someone was yelling at something, someone was making a phone call in a hurry, someone was slumped on the ground, and their faces were contorted in fright.
After that, the screen freezes and the surveillance video ends.
"Governing ...... Comrade vigilante, this, this is the whole surveillance video. ”
Liu Hui, the property manager who was urgently woken up late at night and arrived at the scene to deal with it, has long since lost his previous sleepiness. Even if he drank a lot of alcohol before falling asleep, after he suddenly received a phone call, learned that someone had died in the building, and saw such a terrifying surveillance footage, no amount of alcohol could affect his head at all.
Even with so many people with him at the moment, he felt a chill in his back.
Several of the vigilantes looked equally solemn.
One of them's cell phone rang.
"Hello, comrade doctor. Are you sure the person is dead? Is the cause of death consistent with cardiac arrest? Okay, okay, I got it. ”
Liu Hui didn't hear too clearly what was being said on the phone. But just one thing he heard was enough for him to make a judgment.
Insufficient cardiac blood return, cardiac arrest......
In layman's terms, isn't it just scared to death?
"Manager Liu, we have to copy this surveillance and take it away."
"Huh? …… Okay, okay, okay. ”
Liu Hui was awakened from his fear and hurriedly agreed.
Several vigilantes dealt with the scene in an orderly manner and left together. Liu Hui, who was sent out of the building, was blown by the night breeze and felt a deep chill.
In this building, isn't there really anything, something unclean...... Stuff?
Liu Hui doesn't believe in this set of things. But now, he couldn't help but mutter.
Come to think of it, the surveillance screen clearly shows that there is nothing in front of the scared person, and the previous surveillance records also show that he is just working overtime normally. How could you suddenly be scared to death?
There seems to be no other explanation for such an evil thing than that explanation.
While Liu Hui was pondering, the security captain muttered, "Manager Liu, this is ...... This is the second time, right? ”
Liu Hui didn't speak, just turned his head and looked at the neon building behind him.
At this moment, this building seemed to have an inexplicable strange aura in his eyes.
It's not the second time this kind of thing has happened.
Just about ten days ago, in the night, there was also a person in the Marina Building who was scared to death. At that time, there were also security officers who came to watch the surveillance with him. It's pretty much the same thing in the surveillance.
There was nothing in front of a person, but it turned out to be like seeing something terrifying, and he was scared to death. At that time, the explanation given by the medical examiner seemed to be some kind of cardiac arrest or something.
If it is a coincidence, an accident, or that person has some kind of psychological or spiritual illness, then ......
What about twice?
Twice, two people died, can it be explained by coincidence or accident?
"Manager Liu." The security captain's tone became more and more bitter: "You said, what Wu Xiuzhu said, is it true?" If it really doesn't work, we either ...... Do you want to bring her back again? ”
Liu Hui's expression gradually sank, and a figure couldn't help but appear in his mind.
A middle-aged woman of about forty or fifty years of age, thin and dark-skinned, wearing a cleaner's uniform, carrying a bucket and a mop in her hand.
His mind couldn't help but go back to that night about twenty days ago.
Located in the prime area, the Marina Building is more than 60 storeys high, although it is a bit old, but after several internal renovations, it is still quite classy in the bustling urban area with many high-rise buildings, and there are dozens of large and small companies inside.
On that day, I had just started work when I received a complaint from the logistics department of a certain company. The content of the complaint is that the company's employees finished working overtime at night, and when they left the building, they were shocked to see a cleaner still wiping the walls and floors in the middle of the night.
In the Marina Building, the cleaning of certain common areas is the responsibility of the property management company, not the commercial companies that live here.
The employee reported the matter to the company's logistics department, and the logistics department immediately sent a complaint to the property management company, requesting that the sanitation and cleaning work in the public area be changed to daytime, and that the night before sleeping, suddenly a person appeared in the dark place, which would frighten people.
This is not the first time he has received such a complaint. In fact, he has received at least five or six such complaints over the years. And, every time I investigated, the cleaner who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and went to work was Wu Xiuzhu.
Liu Hui also felt a little wronged.
The reason is very simple, the cleaning work arranged by the property company is all placed during the day. He never arranged for Wu Xiuzhu to work at night.
In other words, Wu Xiuzhu's behavior is a personal act.
This...... It seems that it can be said that Wu Xiuzhu is a person who loves her job and is dedicated, she doesn't even want overtime pay, and she works hard to keep the building clean and tidy?
It seems that such an employee should be rated as an excellent employee. But the eldest sister, who is still working in the middle of the night, will scare people.
Liu Hui remembered that when he first received a complaint, he talked to Wu Xiuzhu. In order not to hurt Wu Xiuzhu's enthusiasm for work, she also went around in a big circle at that time, first praised and encouraged, claiming that this was the most typical performance of "taking the company as her home", and then politely asked her not to come to the building at night, just do a good job during the day.
At that time, this thin middle-aged woman only agreed, and after that, she was stable for more than a month. Then I had a second complaint.
This time, he was not so polite, and called Wu Xiuzhu to reprimand him.
After that, she was honest for more than a month, and then she had a third complaint.
Frankly speaking, Liu Hui was a little reluctant to fire Wu Xiuzhu. Because this person has been working in the Marina Mansion for more than ten years.
It's just a janitor's job, and usually no one will do it for that long. But she just endured hard work and a meager salary and stayed here.
During this period of time, Wu Xiuzhu's work level can be said to be obvious to all. She is hardworking and conscientious, and Liu Hui is certainly reluctant to fire such an employee.
But recently, Wu Xiuzhu's behavior has had a certain impact, and even several companies have begun to threaten to complain to a higher level when they see that they are unwilling to fire her. In desperation, Liu Hui could only be ruthless and made the decision to expel Wu Xiuzhu.
He no longer believes in Wu Xiuzhu's promise that "I won't come at night in the future". If she could have done it, she wouldn't have so many complaints.
The dismissal decision was announced to her in person by the person in charge of health in the property management company, and Liu Hui was not present. But according to the person in charge of health, Wu Xiuzhu begged so hard at that time that she almost cried bitterly, and even took the initiative to apply for a salary cut, in short, as long as she was allowed to stay, she could do anything.
But she was still fired. was taken away from the key card and work badge, settled the salary, and left the Marina Building.
But...... It doesn't end there.
Wu Xiuzhu seems to be obsessed, even if she has been expelled, she will sometimes sneak into the building at night. In more than a year, Liu Hui received two more complaints.
These two were the two complaints made by the staff of the tenant's company. In addition, I don't know how many times I sneaked in but was not discovered by myself, or was chased away by the security team, or I met the staff of the tenant's company, and the staff did not complain.
In terms of probability, it will be far more than twice.
Finally one night, when Liu Hui was personally inspecting, he once again ran into Wu Xiuzhu who sneaked in.
At that time, his heart was already filled with anger.
He remembered that he angrily reprimanded Wu Xiuzhu, sternly refused her request to come back to work, and threatened to call the police to arrest her.
Liu Hui remembered that at that time, it seemed that Wu Xiuzhu was sure that she would never change her mind, and Wu Xiuzhu also felt that she might really not be able to enter the Binhai Mansion in the future, so she stopped pleading, but slowly regained her calm.
Liu Hui still remembers the way Wu Xiuzhu looked at him at that time.
Calm, numbness, sadness, despair.
"Manager Liu." Wu Xiuzhu said slowly: "You don't understand, with me, there will be no accident in our building." If you don't let me in, something will happen in our building......"
At that time, he didn't listen to these words at all, but once again viciously drove Wu Xiuzhu away.
And then......
By now, there have been two people who have been inexplicably scared to death.
