Master asked Long Jiyou, "The female madman you mentioned, can she express some things more accurately?" If we could, my apprentice and I could have asked her. Long Jiyou frowned and said, of course she can speak, but in addition to having a very serious accent, she often doesn't mean anything.

Master said it doesn't matter, you have to try, you can arrange it.

It was already approaching 5 p.m., and it wasn't long before it was time for dinner, and it was also time for the two groups of staff at the containment station to take over. Long Jiyou said, if you go in now, I'm afraid that the doorman at the door will see it when he gets off work. Otherwise, you go to the doorman to register and leave, and you master and apprentice will go outside to find a place to eat first, and after dark, the doorman is gone, and the person who put the food is gone, and then I will let you in. From then until tomorrow morning, you will have plenty of time to do things.

Master nodded and said that it was okay, so he took me away. When I was about to walk to the door, Master pointed to the wooden door that closed me and said, "Do you think the stationmaster's office of this shelter is here?" I said yes, even though there was no writing on the door. Master asked again, "Do you think if you were to kick the door open?"

I immediately had a particularly handsome scene in my mind about breaking the door, and then said of course it was okay, but if this door was broken, that Uncle Long would be terrible and would suffer. Master laughed, walked out with me, signed at the guard's office, and then we started foraging around.

In those years, personal business was suppressed, which meant that even if you had money and tickets, you could only buy and sell things in restaurants, department stores, and commissaries directly run by the state. My uncle's teahouse was directly operated by the state, so when the nationwide campaign began, my uncle was not the first to be affected. But the second uncle's stall is not, because it is in the alley of Baixiang Street, so few people will come to check, and in the early days of liberation, although personal business was banned, but it was not suppressed. This is also the reason why the second uncle will suffer a greater loss than the uncle. So we found a restaurant with a national brand and ate something casually.

During the banquet, Master analyzed the incident with me, and in his opinion, the biggest possibility was that Long Jiyou had mentioned before that a person had died in that isolation room in this place more than a year ago. However, there was almost a year in between without any problems, but in the last month, one has died every week. Although we don't know why there was no more accident in the middle of the gap, it is very likely that the person who died in the house first was the one who was doing the blame now.

Master also said that the crazy woman mentioned by Long Jiyou, she would behave abnormally the day before she died, and she was hit four times in a row, so if it was a coincidence, I don't believe it. Her madness is also directly related to this incident, and we need to prove it. Now that we've learned, what direction do you think we should start with?

In fact, I have been thinking about this question, although my skills are not as good as Master's, but I can be regarded as learning more than 60% of Master's skills, and my way of investigating things is the same as his. So I said, if I investigate this matter alone, I will definitely find the information of the person who died more than a year ago first, if this kind of person is registered with a name, of course it is the best, if there is a name, let's directly use the Yuanguang technique to investigate the soldiers, basically we can determine whether this guy is doing the trick. Then I would figure out what the crazy woman had seen when she started banging on the door.

I paused and said that if both of the above points were met, it would be clear whether the place was haunted or not, and even the motives would be clear, and then all that remained was to deal with the aftermath in a corresponding way.

Master nodded approvingly, and this approving look told me that I had really received his true inheritance. Master said, what you said is very reasonable, and I would do the same if I were to do it, but you seem to have overlooked a very important issue, which is that crazy woman.

I was puzzled and asked Master, "What's wrong with that crazy woman?" Master said, first of all, she is crazy, and the words of a madman are not accurate, and even if you can communicate with her smoothly, you can't be sure which of her words is true and which is false. After hearing what Master said, I thought to myself that it was indeed the same, but for a while, I couldn't come up with a better way, so I could only move forward according to the plan first, and maybe in the process, more valuable clues would gradually surface.

After eating, it was almost completely dark. At night, the mountain castle would be much colder than during the day, and after seeing that the time was about the same, Master and I walked towards the shelter again.

The sentry at the gate was closed, and the big iron gate was closed. After all, in such a place to accommodate homeless people, there is no need to keep guards at night. When the master walked to the door and knocked lightly, soon the door creaked open, and in a gap that was not too big, Long Jiyou waved at us and asked us not to make a noise and come in, while hiding most of his face behind the door, caution is a good thing, but excessive caution makes people feel a little timid.

With the clatter of slamming the door shut, Long Jiyou breathed a sigh of relief, and after turning on the light in the corridor, he said to the master in a little anxious manner, just when the two of you went out for a stroll just now, the crazy woman slammed the door again.

The implication of his words was that within a day, another person would die in that isolation cell. The master snorted and said, "What a coincidence, if this female madwoman really killed someone after hitting the door once, then as long as my master and apprentice are here, nothing will let this happen."

So Master said to me, "Now you go to the stationmaster's office, find the booklet, and see if there is any writing on the incident of the dead man a year ago." Long Jiyou exclaimed, I can't help it, if the stationmaster turns around and finds that the door has been pried open and things have been rummaged through, he will definitely investigate, there are only two people on duty here, and it is easy to find me. I said to him, don't worry, the little window on that door is big enough, you just need to get me a screwdriver, I'll go up and remove this little window, and find the booklet, since this matter is destined to be solved tonight, then before we leave tomorrow, it will definitely be returned to its original place, and God will not know it.

Maybe it was because Long Jiyou had no other way to open the door, so he hesitated for a while and agreed. While I was removing the small window, Master was on the side, and asked Long Jiyou to carefully recall the number of times the female madman knocked on the door that he knew, and the days of the month and the day respectively.

Since I learned art with my master, if something breaks down at home, as long as it's not particularly complicated, I can basically fix it, so it's not difficult for me to remove this small window at all. Soon I climbed through the hole in the small window and entered the door. Since the wooden door was a padlock that the stationmaster had put on the outside of the door when he left the office, I couldn't get out of the door even when I entered the room. There is a window in this room, but I didn't dare to turn on the light, so I'd better be careful. So even though the entire containment station door is locked and closed, I still have to be careful like a thief.

Long Jiyou told me before I came in that it was a file bag made of brown paper, and there was a bookcase next to the stationmaster's desk, which was placed in the compartment with the glass door. The cover of the vellum paper is distinguished by year, and since this is only a record, not a top-secret document, it is not locked.

According to what Long Jiyou said, I quickly found a volume with the words 1966 written on the cover in a pile of brown paper file bags. But to be on the safe side, and to avoid having to open the window again because I missed something, I found two bags from 1965 and this year, 1967.

Then I went back the way I came, and when I turned out, I saw Master and Long Jiyou squatting on the ground and talking to each other, and Master was even gesturing in the palm of his hand. I walked up to the Master and said to him, "I got the things, do you all remember the days here?" Master nodded, and then said to me, judging from the days that your Uncle Long gave me just now, counting this time today, this woman hit the door a total of five times and killed four people, because Uncle Long didn't know about the first time he hit the door, so we can't guess, but in the last four times, I found a pattern, the time between every two times this woman hit the door happened to be seven days apart.

Seven, a number so mysterious to us. Seven days after death, the soul returns, and the seventh seven days choose to leave or stay, the Taoist scriptures emphasize the importance of the Big Dipper countless times, and this shelter dies once a week, and the mad woman hits the door once a week, and a week also happens to be seven days. Therefore, the reason why Master used the word "exactly" is to tell me that this seems to confirm the so-called principle of reincarnation in seven days, and if the ghost who is doing evil here is still one person every seven days, but for the sake of the principle of reincarnation in seven days, it is not too late to die for more than a year before starting to make trouble?

When Master saw that I didn't speak, he said to me, "Don't you understand?" This is a ghost looking for a substitute.
