Chapter Seventy-Two: Sleepless Nights

As soon as the thunderstorm ended, a man in a suit came home from work, he was carrying a briefcase, an umbrella in his hand, his trouser legs were all wet from the rain, he looked very embarrassed, there were few pedestrians on the street, he turned into an alley.

The other street lights in the alley were broken, only the one in front of him was still on, but it seemed to be damaged by this thunderstorm, and it flashed in the darkness to spread a piece of light, and the man lowered his head, carefully avoiding the waterlogged ground, and walked very slowly.

Suddenly, the man froze in place and rubbed his dry eyes, "Are you dazzled?" "It was as if he had just seen a figure on the ground, and when the light flickered, it was gone.

"I must have worked overtime for too long, and I read it wrong."

The man laughed to himself and walked under the street lamp, at this time, a black shadow appeared again, as if it was hanging on the street lamp and shaking, it appeared for less than a second, brush! The street lights went out again.

This time, the man saw it really, it was impossible for him to see the flowers, the cold sweat suddenly came down, he looked up nervously, and looked at the street lamp on the side, but in the dark, he couldn't see it clearly.

The man immediately felt that the ordinary alley that he used to walk often suddenly became gloomy, and when he reached middle age, he was no longer afraid of those imaginary gods and ghosts, but at this moment, his heart was still beating faster and nervous.

The man stubbornly didn't want to explore it anymore, "Forget it, hurry up and go home and sleep!" ”

He continued to walk forward, and after a while, the street lamp came on again, and he looked up, there was nothing on the street lamp, and the man nervously slowed down, no longer worried about whether it would be waterlogged.

He walked under the street lamp in two or three steps, and when he was about to walk forward, he felt a shadow in front of him flicker, and the street lamp went out again, this time the shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and he involuntarily looked up at the street lamp of the headlamp again.

His pupils suddenly widened, and in the dark, on the top of his head, a corpse was hanging on the street lamp and swaying from side to side, and the embroidery thread on his feet was less than three inches above his head!

The street lights came on again, and the man was gone.

A girl walked out of the alley behind, wondering in her heart, wasn't it a man who came in just now? Why is it gone, walking so fast?

She didn't think much of it, and as soon as she walked into the alley, the street lights flashed again.

At the same time, in the Wutong District of Hanshui City, in a small bungalow.

A black coffin is placed in the center, lined with white wreaths on both sides, on which a black inscription is pasted on white paper. In front of the coffin is an offering table, on which are placed black and white photographs and fruit offerings molded with plastic wrap, and on the left and right are lit white candles and candles.

A middle-aged woman wearing filial piety walked in, put on a stick of incense, knelt on the straw mat under the offering table, and played with her mobile phone in boredom.

The middle-aged woman was swiping the video, and suddenly the video card owner, "No more network?" The middle-aged woman was puzzled and kept refreshing her mobile phone, when a strong wind came out and blew out the candle directly, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

The woman complained in her heart, turned out the flashlight with her mobile phone, lit the table, picked up the lighter on the table, and wanted to light the candle, but the lighter seemed to be out of gas, and she couldn't hit it several times, and a few times she finally hit it, and as soon as the flame came out, there was a gust of wind blowing around her, blowing out the flame, as if someone was blowing in the darkness around her, and she didn't want the woman to light the candle.

The woman was also blown by this evil wind, and she put the lighter on the table, as if to find out if there were any other lighters, and while she was rummaging on the table, she happened to see a black-and-white photo on the table, and it was an old lady with a smile on her face.

The woman wondered in her heart, "I remember the photo, my mother didn't smile so happily?" ”

At that time, it was still the photo she chose for her mother, and she remembered that it was a shallow smile, where was the corner of her mouth so high?

Her movements suddenly became flustered, and the smile in the photo illuminated by the mobile phone made her look panicked, as if it was not a photo somewhere, it was really her mother smiling at herself.

The woman was so frightened that she already cried, "Mom, don't scare me!" ”

She didn't want to light the candles anymore at this point, so she turned around and was about to go out, and asked her brother to come over and ask if they had changed the photo.

Just as she was about to turn to leave, a strong wind blew the paper ashes from the brazier on the floor, and she heard a gurgling sound, like someone scratching the plank with her fingernails.

The woman looked at the coffin behind her in horror, there was not much here, she heard it at once, and the sound came from the coffin!

At this moment, the wind blew the two open doors of the house shut.

Then a chewing sound was heard coming from inside the house.

Outside the courtyard, a few men who were half-drunk and dressed in linen and filial piety drunkenly sent a group of people away.

One of the men asked, "What about the eldest sister?" Her colleague is gone, and she doesn't come out to deliver it? ”

"I was still here just now, let's go into the house!"

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that the mourning hall was dark and the gate was closed.

The man at the head frowned, "Why did you let the wind blow out the ever-bright lantern?" ”

Several people opened the door, quickly entered the house, touched the dark, lit the candle with the lighter on his body, the man glanced around, looked at his mother's light smile in the photo, and sighed sadly, "Fortunately, I didn't mess up the mourning hall." ”

"Where's the eldest sister?"

"Call her and come over to the vigil!"

One of the men dialed the phone and heard the phone ring.

"Whose phone is ringing?"

"Not mine."

Several people shook their heads, and then looked for the source of the sound in the mourning hall, and following the sound, several people quickly locked on the source of the sound.

The phone rings, it comes from the coffin!

Something similar happened all over Hanshui City, and the thunderstorm seemed to open some kind of unknown curtain, and the phone at the police station rang all night long.

The police officers who had already fallen asleep were urgently called back to the police station by phone, speeding through the city in a police car, and the piercing siren shrouded the sky over Hanshui City, and countless citizens were disturbed from their dreams and scolded: "What are these police going crazy about at night?" ”

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The Pujiang District Police Station is also brightly lit, there are too many police calls, there is a serious shortage of manpower, the director is sweating profusely, and he has a headache when he hears the phone ringing, and he even sent out a few old criminal policemen who were originally sent to hunt down Wang Qiang were also drawn out, and all of them were dispatched to the police! But it's still a drop in the bucket.

He said to the operator, "Unplug the phone line!" ”

"Huh? Director, this is against the rules! ”

"What are the rules, all the people have gone out and run, it's useless to fight again, listen to my pull!"

Under the coercion of the director, the operator had no choice but to pull out the phone line.

.......

Jiang You practiced all night, his whole body was comfortable from the bed and his eyes were opened, after the rain last night, the air was very fresh, he didn't practice boxing at night, and went all out to repair the dark injuries first. On the contrary, it made it rare for him to spend a relaxing and comfortable night.

"If only every night could be like last night!"

At this moment, a rapid mobile phone ringing interrupted the brief calm.

Wei Zhian said on the other end of the phone: "Come to the unit for a meeting!" ”
