Regarding the mysterious woman who appeared in the haunted house, Yu Gong and Jiang Jinjiu wanted to know her. Although I don't know what level of her skills are in the industry, she can control smoke to catch ghosts, and her ability is definitely indispensable. As long as you befriend her, you will definitely be able to get a lot of reliable information from her, and more importantly, ask for a magic weapon to protect yourself. As for the private affairs of children, I can only say that I have a longing.

However, how can you find someone with only half a face? Jiang Jinjiu could only dispel this thought.

As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, there are three fires, and Jiang Jinjiu is not in the newspaper office every day, and he is out all day long asking around where strange incidents have occurred.

But how did he know that he didn't have to worry about this kind of thing, the newspaper had a strong information network, and he only needed to verify it himself. It's just that Qin Zhenyang is willing to watch him go around blindly, and wants to say that practicing foot strength is not a bad thing. Moreover, if it is delayed for half a month, even if something terrible happens to Jiang Jinjiu, he will hold on because the paydate is approaching, and there will still be time to save it, so as not to make the newspaper fall into the dilemma of lack of manpower. The little abacus in Qin Zhenyang's heart is called a dang dang.

For nearly three weeks, Qin Zhenyang saw that he had nothing to gain, so he called him to the office and gave him an address, a pass, and a new press card. Jiang Jinjiu looked at the press card and looked at the press card no different from the previous one, and he was very puzzled by this. After being asked, Qin Zhenyang's explanation was that "different regions and places need different press cards, and every time you receive a mission to visit, you must get a new card and return the previous card at the same time." Later, he also cautiously told Jiang Jinjiu to keep this matter in mind and not to be negligent. Jiang Jinjiu was only regarded as the rule of the newspaper, so naturally he didn't ask more.

The location of Jiang Jinjiu's first mission was on the twelfth floor of a 23-story commercial building, one of which was called, Chuangqi Zhen Xinshi Advertising Company. Qin Zhenyang didn't explain what happened there, but just asked him to meet the manager. And the other party has a request, "Don't let the company insiders know the true identity of the supernatural reporter and the purpose of coming here." "So Jiang Jinjiu must pretend to be the manager's cousin.

Jiang Jinjiu came to the advertising agency that afternoon. When he found the manager in a low-key way to identify himself, the manager's hospitality was much more gracious than expected, and the good smoke and water pastries were almost served on the table.

The manager's surname is Liu, he is thin but has a bit of a beer belly, and he always has a smile on his face, looking at him as a kind and cheerful person. When the two sides finished introducing each other, Manager Liu suddenly looked melancholy, took a deep puff of cigarette, walked in his lungs and then discharged it from his nostrils, and the sound of air was like a sigh. He frowned and said, "I won't tell you Mr. Jiang, this incident has made me sad recently." ”

"What's wrong? Let's hear it. Jiang Jinjiu quickly took out his notes.

"This thing is evil...... Manager Liu sighed meaningfully, "I have to say that a month ago, an employee of my company committed suicide here. ”

"I'm going to go! Suicide!? Jiang Jinjiu couldn't believe his ears, "You said it's in the company!?" ”

That's right, it was during his lunch break, when the company was empty, he injected a syringe of white powder in his cubicle. Dead lying on the table, the employees thought he was sleeping. It wasn't until after the lunch break that his colleague pushed him when he saw that he was still asleep, only to find that he had foamed at the mouth and died. Manager Liu smiled bitterly, "It's good, he died flutteringly, because of this bit of white powder, we can't get rid of it, and the whole company has entered the bureau to be interrogated." But how can we know where the white powder came from, he is an honest person, and even we are curious about where he got the white powder. ”

"Hmm...... Do you know why he committed suicide? ”

"I can't tell." Manager Liu shrugged his shoulders, "What I know is that he is from a small county town in Shandong, where he has no relatives, not many friends, and he didn't leave a suicide note when he died, but...... I suspect it has something to do with feelings. ”

"You mean...... Lovelorn? ”

"It's hard to say, I guess too." Manager Liu suddenly looked around nervously, as if he suspected that someone was hiding in this closed reception room. Even after watching it twice, Manager Liu cautiously approached Jiang Jinjiu and whispered, "Some people say that he was not only deceived by a woman, but also deceived by money, maybe it is because of that woman that he will know where to buy white powder." No matter what she does, she's definitely a. I remember that some time before he committed suicide, he went to borrow money from his colleagues every few days, but the money he borrowed was not much, but it made people feel that he had no money at all, and his clothes did not change for a few days. ”

"Then he's miserable." Jiang Jinjiu sighed, feeling extremely sympathetic to that person in his heart. He knows the pain of despair.

"Who said no, the other person is very good, he has been here for several years, and his ability is not bad......" Manager Liu extinguished the cigarette butt, as if extinguished with an unhappy mood, "Don't talk about him, let's get down to business." ”

According to Manager Liu, half a month after the employee's suicide, some strange things began to appear in the company.

First, every five days, between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., the older photocopier was running without any one operating it, and the printed paper looked like it had been blackened with a pencil, with a clear stripe of lines.

After that, there was also a problem with the fax machine, about every three days, from time to time to receive a silent call without caller ID, or when there was no fax signal, it automatically spit out paper, the paper was full of garbled characters, and if you picked up the microphone, there would be a very harsh noise. These problems lasted for about three to five minutes and then returned to normal, and the maintenance personnel were unable to detect what was the problem several times. Even if you change to a brand new fax machine, the same problem still occurs.

The new fax machine was secretly replaced by Manager Liu without telling everyone, and everyone only regarded it as an old machine, but later people also had problems.

One of the female employees likes to be smelly, and always puts the mirror on the desk, and has to take a picture of everything and everything. She said that one day when she was working overtime, she saw a man behind her in the mirror with his back to her, and he turned around and disappeared. At the time, she thought it was a delusion, but later it happened frequently, and other people encountered similar situations, which made people worried. Some believe that this is the result of the haunting of the employee who committed suicide.

Just when everyone was suspicious, there was a bloodshed. One day, the light tube on the roof above the walkway somehow fell off and hit the person's head. His head was more than half a meter away from the roof, and he was smashed to the point that his head was bleeding and he went to the hospital for five stitches! Can a fluttering tube be so powerful when it falls freely!?

This caused panic in the hearts of many people, and many people thought that it was a ghost. In order to appease everyone's emotions, and Manager Liu is also a superstitious person, the company has invited a feng shui master to decorate, so Manager Liu invited a "gentleman". This gentleman is a bit of a Taoist, and before he entered the door, he found that something was wrong, saying that there was a bad atmosphere in the company, and Manager Liu immediately asked Mr. to take the French style and please leave "him".

However, as soon as the Dharma was completed, the husband made it clear that the resentment was excessive, but within a few days, strange things continued to happen, and they intensified, and maybe someone would be injured and bleeding in a few days.

And there is a new situation, after getting off work every three or five days, the monitoring can prove that the company is empty, but it looks like someone is moving in the company, and when you go to work the next day, you will find that the items in the company have been touched a little.

The most obvious time was when the leaves of the fortune tree in front of the window fell off nearly half, and the leaves were scattered, as if someone had opened the window, causing the fortune tree to be devastated by the wind. However, the surveillance screen shows that the windows are closed well, and the leaves are falling off naturally one by one, drifting around like the wind!

and then go to Mr. to do it, just like killing the inexhaustible Xiaoqiang, making Mr. helpless. Finally, it was a coincidence, introduced by colleagues in the industry, Manager Liu handed a secret post to the newspaper.

Odd? How can newspapers solve problems that even professionals can't solve? It's all a bunch of guys who use a pen, can they catch ghosts and exorcise demons? Jiang Jinjiu has not been in the company for a long time, and he is muttering in his heart, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Manager Liu thought he had an idea and asked, "Do you have any ideas, Mr. Jiang?" ”

"What do you think......" Jiang Jinjiu pretended to be deep, slowly picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip of Tieguanyin, and actually learned Qin Zhenyang's methods of torturing him! Although it is not as good as the sixth, it also hangs up Manager Liu's appetite. "I've just arrived, so I can't comment indiscriminately, so ...... I'll need to stay here for a while, and we'll see. In fact, he didn't know how to deal with it, but fortunately he loved to read detective suspense novels, so he moved out of the joke - since he didn't know where to start, he was looking for clues at the scene of the crime.

"No problem, it's up to you. However......" Manager Liu said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Jiang, every time I invite someone to come and see, the mood of the employees is not on the work, we have a few cases in hand, so I don't want the employees to be distracted, you see......"

"Then I'm your cousin who eats and drinks, doesn't like to do things during the day, and only fools around on the side." Jiang Jinjiu covered his chest and said with a smile: "Manager, you can rest assured, brother, I must do things in a low-key manner, if it really doesn't work, I can spend the night here." He regretted it.

Manager Liu was full of joy when he heard it, "I'll say this to you!" I'll have dinner later, please! Holding Jiang Jinjiu's hand affectionately, the two stood up together, one said something like gratitude, and the other said, "What's polite, what's the matter." After a few polite words, Manager Liu said, "Come, I'll arrange a place for you first." ”

As a result, where is the low-key, Jiang Jinjiu was arranged in the lattice room behind the suicide employee. Although the position is on the inside, almost everyone can see his shoulder when he stands up, but he can't make any noticeable movements. However, he was too careful, and when Manager Liu introduced his fake identity to everyone, the employees only welcomed his arrival with hypocrisy, and turned their heads to continue to busy their own work.

At this time, Jiang Jinjiu was sitting in the cubicle, and when he turned his head, he could see the tables and chairs of the suicidal employee. Now that the table top was empty, there was not even a spider silk under the table, and he couldn't find anything in his eyes, so he didn't know how to start, so he could only play solitaire and mix time.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, he felt that his eyes were heavy, and he thought that if he didn't find something to do, he would definitely fall asleep. I suddenly heard the two female employees next door muttering, "Hey, isn't it today?" "I should, now you're going?" "Yes, in a hurry, can you come with me?" "Hmm...... That, if you're looking for Xiao Zhang, I don't dare. "No, now those people are busy boiling the pot, and they don't even have time to go to the toilet, so let's take it easy, you might as well accompany me to it." "This ...... That's right! The voice suddenly became smaller, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

"What the hell are you afraid of?" He was pondering when suddenly a woman bent over and jumped into his lattice, startling him. The man was average-looking, twenty-seven or eighteen, wearing a light blue uniform and holding a document in both hands. He smiled at him, waved his head, and then said "Hi", which made him a little embarrassed.

She said softly, "Brother Jiang, are you busy?" ”

Jiang Jin shook her head solemnly, she instantly stuffed the document into his hand, and whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble you, can you make ten copies of this document to me?" "Pointing to the glass compartment in the west corner" The photocopier is in there, please, please. Ignoring whether he agreed or not, he left a sweet smile and ran away!

"Isn't it just copying documents?" Jiang Jin doesn't care, he finally has something to do, and he can solve problems for the lady, so why not. Moreover, he was very concerned about the conversation between the two, so he wanted to inquire when he returned the documents. To know what employees know, the boss may not know, can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The hut where the photocopier is located is located in the northwest corner, with solid walls on two sides and frosted glass walls on both sides, and only the vague shadow of the human body can be seen from the outside. At the same time, it is used as a warehouse, and wooden shelves are placed inside, and some office consumables are placed. The shelves are less than a metre from the photocopier, and the hut is not very spacious.

It stands to reason that a 10-watt bulb is enough for such a large hut to transmit light on both sides. However, the 35-watt high-brightness energy-saving lamps were used, and the white light was dazzlingly strong. It's even more impossible to keep your head down from the light, as the walls and floors are paved with white tiles as smooth as a mirror, and the light bends and turns to intensify. When Jiang Jinjiu first came in, everything he saw was a halo, and his head couldn't help but feel dizzy, and he closed his eyes for a while before recovering.

Speaking of photocopying, Jiang Jinjiu used to do it with his eyes closed when he was working, and he operated it skillfully......

The photocopier is not very noisy when it works, so it's no wonder that the hut has a sliding door. Blank sheets of paper filled with text and charts spat out of the photocopier, and he only felt more bored when he looked at it. After printing more than half of it, I was hypnotized by the rhythmic noise and the little sheep, and my eyelids couldn't stop sliding downward, and I couldn't hold it up if I wanted to, and finally fell asleep leaning on the photocopier.

If it weren't for a cold war for no reason, I'm afraid he would have to sleep for a while. Just two minutes later, he thought he had slept for more than ten minutes, so he quickly rubbed his face and shook his head violently to wake himself up. Suddenly he realized that something was wrong, why was the photocopier still dispensing paper? Check the screen display, it shows that the 75th picture is being copied, did you press it by mistake when you were napping? He hurriedly pressed the cancel button, but it didn't work! Only then did he realize that half of the copied paper was black!

He suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and said in his heart, "Could it be that this is the strange thing that Manager Liu said?" Didn't you say it's all black? "Carefully picked up a piece of paper and looked at it carefully, and there were indeed clear lines, like pencil drawings. And the lines are all horizontal, and most of them are a little curvature. Under the strong light, he felt that some of the lines at the bottom were very dense and dark, as if they had been coated in many layers. I can't tell what shape it is, but if I have to say it, it looks like a flat mountain.

To see more realistically, he held up the paper and looked closely at it against the backing of the wall. I can't see it when I put it, so I look sideways, and it's a bit like the left ear. When viewed upside down, it looks a bit like a kitchen knife. Looking at it again, he gasped, his scalp was numb and painful, as if his hair had been pulled out. At some point, a faint figure appeared on the wall, and the dark part of the paper turned out to be a part of the shadow on the wall!

The light is overhead, and the figure is diagonally opposite oneself, so it can't be one's own reflection on the wall, which means that there is someone behind him! However, with the door closed, there is no room for people to stand behind them! Jiang Jinjiu realized what was in front of him, and he unfortunately met the protagonist in the strange incident again.

He didn't dare to flee, for fear of turning around and seeing a terrifying face. He didn't dare to look at the figure on the wall, for fear of seeing a picture that he couldn't regret. I had to pretend that it didn't exist, staring at the photocopier and humming softly, but I couldn't help but look at it, and found that the figure seemed to have deepened a lot. He told himself not to be afraid, and if nothing else, he would be fine in three to five minutes. But the trills he made made made Jacky Cheung ashamed of himself.

Seeing that the 126th copy was printed, the 127th copy sounded out of paper shortage. He was startled by the sound of Didi, but he didn't dare to move at all when he saw that the shadow was still there. Now his only hope is for someone to hear the sound and open the door to see. However, waiting for no one to come, the machine still kept ringing, and it was in a dilemma, when suddenly the lights in the room dimmed extremely weakly! Normally, it is difficult to detect, but Jiang Jinjiu, who is nervous, is very sensitive at this time, and immediately notices this slight change, and his eyes can't help but slip upward...... Nothing unusual was found.

When his eyes fell, he was surprised to find that the figure was gone! After the afterglow swept through the hut, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he collapsed, lying on the photocopier and wondering how could he be so unlucky, and then suddenly the meaning of the conversation between the two daughters, it turned out that today was the day when strange things happened, and it was no wonder that it was the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty.

The documents had not yet been copied, and the machine was back to normal, but he said that he would not dare to stay in the house. Thinking about it, it was even more embarrassing to go back like this, so I simply stood on the threshold, regardless of whether the noise caused a nuisance to others, and jumped forward and backwards to copy the rest of the documents. After that, I handed it over to the female employees, and I wanted to take the opportunity to inquire, but I saw that they were too busy, so I had to go back to the cubicle to pass the time.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work, and the employees rushed to the punch card machine with suppressed joy. But Manager Liu appeared in front of everyone and said with a heavy heart, "I'm sorry, I have to work overtime tonight, now hurry up and eat, and strive to work before half past nine." After speaking, he came to Jiang Jinjiu, "Let's go, let's eat, I'll have a treat." ”

In the hotel.

"Manager Liu, your customer is really anxious, it's too hurried to deliver the work at night, right?" When Jiang Jinjiu used to work, it was normal to work overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock, but he had never encountered a situation where he was delivered at night, so he was a little curious.

"Mr. Jiang misunderstood, so I won't tell you." Manager Liu looked left and right, and felt that the guests around him were a little close to him, so he approached Jiang Jinjiu and whispered, "It is called evil in the company after ten o'clock, especially after eleven o'clock, it becomes another space, which is very scary." ”

With a grunt, Jiang Jinjiu swallowed his saliva and said nervously, "What's the matter, terrible law?" ”

Manager Liu's eyes widened and he said, "Imagine what it would be like if you felt that everything in front of you was writhing?" ”

"Writhing?"

"That's right! It's as if the air is twisting and twisting. Manager Liu gestured with both hands, "Sometimes you will feel that the house is flattened, and the opposite wall will run in front of you in the blink of an eye, and sometimes you will feel that the house is stretched and there is no end in sight for a while!" There is also the feeling of unsteadiness on the ground, as if the ground has become slanted. ”

Manager Liu's eyes showed fear, and Jiang Jinjiu was stunned in his heart, and said with a bitter face, "Who is this, who is here...... Did anyone see it with their own eyes? ”

"I'm the only one!" Manager Liu drank the beer in the toast in one gulp, and said, "If you want to say this, don't dare to tell anyone, you see......" He unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, pulled some open neck, pointed to the back and said, "Look, is there a black mark?" ”

Jiang Jinjiu looked at the place he pointed and found a gray-black mark on his skin. About two fingers thick, the index finger is long, and the surrounding area is yellowish, and it looks like a bruise. "Well, I saw it, how did you get it? It doesn't seem to hurt lightly. ”

Manager Liu stretched out his hand and pinched it twice, "Look, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just that it makes people sour at the beginning, and I feel very tired easily, but now it's much better......" He straightened his clothes and whispered, "That night, I suddenly felt that something hit my neck, and I didn't have much energy, so I could say that the wind was blowing." Before going to bed, there was no mark, but the next morning it appeared, and it was frighteningly black, and the gentleman said that it was caught by a ghost. ”

I'm going to go! So fierce! Jiang Jinjiu was miserable in his heart, and he met a hot hand in his first task. Manager Liu just stayed for a while before he was recruited, wouldn't it be a small life if he stayed overnight! In this way, it seems that it is still thirty-six strategies, and it is the best policy.

Manager Liu saw Jiang Jinjiu's face embarrassed, immediately pressed his shoulder, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Mr. Jiang, I heard that the newspaper's means to solve this problem are very powerful, you must help me figure out what is going on tonight, if you do it, I will thank you well when I turn around!" If you don't help me, I really don't know what to do, Brother Jiang! As he spoke, his whole face turned red.

"No, no, you're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do." Jiang Jinjiu held his arm, thinking that this time it was all right. If you leave now, you will be looked down upon by others, and if you make a small report to the head again, this will be a job ...... Seeing that a month is about to pass, how can you live with your salary! Jiang Jinjiu turned his heart and said, "Manager Liu, don't worry, I will do my best, I will go home and get something to come to the company for the night in a while." ”

"Okay, okay, that's Brother Lao Jiang, I'll call a car to send you later." Well...... What is my brother going home to pick up? Copying guys? ”

"Just take a coat or blanket, hehe, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm afraid of the cold at night."

"Ahem! That's not necessary, my company has all these things, all thickened, to ensure that you can't get cold. ”

Ay...... I don't even have a chance to explain what happened. Jiang Jinjiu was helpless in his heart, so he could only raise his wine glass, "Dry!" "Let all sorrow pass through the bowels and be buried in the womb......
