Chapter 181 Murder case! ‘The ghost knocks on the door! ’
The feng shui in Jiangsan City is not very good.
This has been professionally verified by Wang Chao.
What?
You want to ask what professionalism Wang Chao has?
This is a very complicated matter that is difficult to explain clearly. His biggest wish in this life, besides starting a business, is to find a philosopher or scientist who can explain this matter clearly.
Of course, he never said these things and kept them in his heart.
Zhang Min naturally didn't know either.
At this time, she was full of energy and packing things in her new house.
This room seemed to have become a toy. Under her hands, it was gradually tidied up in order.
However, she hadn’t finished cleaning up yet
"Dududu~"
A phone rang.
"Hey, Xiao Min, have you arrived in Jiangsan City?"
Zhang Niu's careless and rough voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Min seemed to have remembered something and was slightly speechless, but still responded patiently.
"Here we are, now I rent a house very close to the property."
"By the way, I won't go back to celebrate the New Year this year."
Jiangsan City is not close to the capital, but it is not far either. The plane flight will naturally not last long, and it has been nearly eight hours since it took off. It is obvious that Zhang Niu is not asking about her whereabouts when she is calling. of.
Then it is
"Not coming back? That's fine. How about Xiao Wang?"
Zhang Niu asked in a roundabout way.
Zhang Min rolled his eyes.
"He? Very nice, very enthusiastic, very smart, a very good business person, and very familiar with the local police."
"I didn't ask this, I meant what do you think of others?"
"I'm talking about him."
"You girl are pretending to be confused because you understand, aren't you!?"
Zhang Niu was speechless, thinking about his older daughter, and his face on the other end of the phone was full of sorrow.
"I don't understand."
Zhang Min said expressionlessly, "I came to Jiangsan City just for business. I want to work hard to build a brand. Wang Chao is my partner. Isn't it normal for me to report on his character?"
That's right.
She was urged to marry.
Under normal circumstances, businessmen in this time period like business marriages, but Zhang Niu is different.
His thoughts are not bound by interests, and Zhang Min is also a strong woman.
So, until the age of 25, the other party still hadn't talked to anyone.
As the saying goes, to conquer a man, you must conquer his heart, and the same is true for conquering a strong woman, but the way is to be stronger than her.
But my family is in the capital, my uncle is the leader of the Special Bureau 5, and my family is one of the top base station companies in the country.
Who is better than her?
Who does Zhang Min like?
As a result, Zhang Min was very proud and devoted all his body and soul to industrial development.
At first, Zhang Niu thought it was very good, but in the blink of an eye, he saw it.
That’s not right!
If this continues, the day lilies will become cold, and it’s not certain whether he will be able to have a grandchild in his lifetime!
Now I am 25. After my birthday, I will be 26. If I wait another two years, do I have to be in my thirties or forties before getting married?
so.
Zhang Niu was anxious.
But Zhang Min didn't give him this urgent opportunity.
"And you are already sworn sworn friends with him, so you just have to do it by calling me your eldest niece."
Zhang Min spoke calmly while arranging his clothes.
"Eldest niece?"
Zhang Niu's voice was a bit high and his face was confused.
"Yes, considering the seniority, I should call him uncle." Zhang Min said.
"No, when did I take over?"
"I have to ask you. Okay, I won't go back this year. Don't rush me if you have nothing to do. I'll give up."
After saying that, Zhang Min hung up the phone.
After the room is cleaned.
She was not in a hurry, but instead took out a book.
This was a law book, and she read it carefully.
The law book is actually a book about getting rich in a certain way.
When you carefully study every legal provision, you will find that there is still such a large gray gold mine in the world waiting for you to mine.
For example?
For example, the most direct thing is that lawyers can take advantage of legal loopholes to refute the words of a plaintiff and collect money for themselves.
Until
“Dong dong dong~”
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Zhang Min's thoughts.
"Who?"
Zhang Min paused, got up from the sofa, and said while walking out.
She knew no one else in Jiangsan City except Wang Chao and Xu Hao. Xu Hao didn’t know the address. Wang Chao had just left when the person who knocked on the door was.
"I am the neighbor across the door."
A voice came from outside the door.
Neighbor?
Zhang Min opened his mouth suspiciously, and through the peephole, he saw an old lady outside. She was holding a basket filled with vegetables, standing at the door and speaking kindly.
"Squeak~"
Zhang Min opened the door, and the old woman looked inside suspiciously.
After seeing nothing, she looked at Zhang Min.
"Little girl, you must be the new resident of 502."
"I'm right across from you, a resident of 501, and I have a wife at home. If you have nothing to do, you can come to my house."
"Thank you."
Zhang Min said politely. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the old lady stopped her but hesitated to speak.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
The old lady was stooped, with gray hair and a complicated expression. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"There's nothing in your house, right?"
Zhang Min was confused.
"What's nothing?"
"I mean you haven't seen anything bad, right?"
"Like ghosts or something like that."
The old lady said gloomily.
"We must believe in science." Zhang Min responded with a smile.
"Is there anyone there? Did you see anyone?"
Zhang Min shook her head again, then she paused and did not go back, saying:
"Why do you think that?"
"Well, your house should be quite cheap."
"It's really cheap, how did you know?"
"Because the previous tenant disappeared."
The old lady shook her head and said, looking suspiciously into the house.
"Disappeared?" Zhang Min was surprised.
"Yes, it was almost two weeks ago. The previous tenant disappeared, and there was no trace until the biggest delay in paying the rent."
“I couldn’t reach him on the phone, so the landlord thought he had run away. After waiting for a few days, he packed up his belongings and took them away as rent money.”
The old lady spoke.
Zhang Min shook his head, still confused.
It is very common to delay rent and then disappear. It occurs basically all over the country. Every landlord has encountered it. Some people who have sold off their furniture do not even bother to report it to the police.
What does this have to do with house price reductions?
"Little girl, look at what's on the left?"
The old lady motioned to the other party to look towards the end of the corridor on the left.
There, a monitoring head hung, quietly recording all this.
"The last tenant suddenly went crazy a week before disappearing and said he saw a ghost!"
"A ghost is chasing him, getting closer every day. He hides everywhere, every day, but he never escapes."
"The commotion was very fierce and people were in panic. Fortunately, no one was seen except him for several days, so we gave up. But the problem is"
"Until one day, he said he saw a ghost again. He hurriedly walked into the house from outside and never came out again"
The old lady muttered in a low voice and pointed at the surveillance camera.
"The surveillance showed that after the man entered the house, he never opened the door again."
"He entered the house and did not leave, but no one could find him and he disappeared into thin air."
"I mean"
"He's probably still in your room."
Hearing this, Zhang Min felt a chill on his back and looked back subconsciously.
But he didn't see anything. He could only turn around and look at the old lady with a smile on his face.
"Mom, don't be scary. It's really in the room. How can you not find it in a living room?"
"If you don't believe it, go find the real estate agent and check the surveillance."
The old lady shook her head.
"Could he have escaped through the window?" Zhang Min asked again.
"This is the fifth floor." The old lady whispered, "And there are surveillance cameras on the first floor."
"So, he may still be in your room, please pay attention."
"Forget it, believe it or not, these are just guesses made by the whole building. It has been a week and nothing has happened. Maybe they are wrong."
After saying that, the old lady turned and left, walked into the opposite door, and closed the door.
Zhang Min was left alone outside.
Zhang Min suddenly felt a hair in his heart, and he looked back.
The freshly packed furniture exudes a warm atmosphere, the curtains are fluttering quietly in the wind, and the whole room is empty and quiet.
It was as if they were quietly waiting for the next resident to enter.
Zhang Min hesitated for a moment, then with some pressure, he opened his legs and walked inside.
She thought for a moment and began to search the room.
The layout of the house is very simple, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. There is no hiding space for the toilet, and the same is true for the living room. After all, the simple style layout itself has no hiding place.
The bedroom only has a few simple pieces of furniture.
After a little inquiry, Zhang Min felt relieved.
"Huh, when did I become so sensitive?"
Zhang Min smiled self-deprecatingly.
"It's been two weeks, how can there be anyone still here?"
Now, she somewhat agreed with Wang Chao's words.
Jiangsan City.
It seems a bit evil.
Of course, if you believe it, you have it, if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.
Zhang Min studied law and was a strong woman. She didn't care about this at all before, but the old lady's voice made her unconsciously take over.
After saying that, he turned on the light, walked to the living room, and continued reading the law textbook.
but.
No matter how she read it this time, she couldn't get it in. She always looked around with her eyes from time to time, looking at the small cracks.
Until
"Dududu~"
A phone rang.
Zhang Min dialed the phone as quickly as possible, "Hello?"
"Hey, my eldest niece has just arrived in Jiangsan City, isn't she used to it?"
"Your brother and uncle will take you out for a walk, learn a little about the business and industry, and have dinner by the way."
Wang Chao's carefree voice rang out, slightly dispelling the tension in Zhang Min's heart.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay."
After saying that, Zhang Min immediately took a notebook and walked out.
"Squeak~"
The door was closed, and the interior was restored to its original state. It was quiet without a sound. Every piece of furniture was as dead as stone. Only the living room, with its swaying curtains, seemed to be waving to others.
"My eldest niece, there are not many industries in Jiangsan City now. There are four stores in total, but this is just the most basic."
“Secondly, the vast majority of plans emerge around the future of the core industry ‘mobile phones’.”
“For example, I proposed the concept of ‘taxi-hailing’ not long ago.”
night.
At ten o'clock, at the barbecue stall, Wang Chao said carelessly.
Taxi-hailing was the business opportunity he just saw.
If traditional taxi-hailing can be integrated into mobile phones, and instead of raising your hand to signal the driver to stop, you can press a button and let yourself follow the map, then the efficiency will be greatly improved and travel will be much more convenient.
This idea is very novel, and Wang Chao is thinking about what to do after the market sinks.
If it were Zhang Min before, he would definitely have a strong interest in it, but now
"Hmm"
She responded absently.
Wang Chao was slightly confused and subconsciously glanced at Xu Hao opposite him.
Xu Hao didn't say anything and continued to eat the barbecue slowly.
He and Zhang Min had met several times in the capital, and they were no strangers to each other. Naturally, they had no intention of being polite. It was enough to eat and drink where necessary.
Helpless, Wang Chao could only look at Zhang Min.
"Eldest niece, are you in trouble?"
Wang Chao asked suspiciously.
"Huh? Huh?"
Zhang Min was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"No."
"Really?"
Zhang Min paused, recalling what the 501 old lady said in his mind.
Suddenly, her face turned red.
She is 25 years old and is still studying law and starting a business. She said that she is afraid of this. She is a bit embarrassed.
"Really not."
"Well, if you encounter something, just call me. If I can't solve it, just call me."
Wang Chao said, and then handed a few skewers of barbecue to the other party.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will take you to the headquarters in Jiangsan City, where you will be responsible for managing the current industrial dessert shop. Later, when mobile phones appear, we will enter the Internet industry."
Zhang Min nodded, lifted up her skirt and hair, and ate the barbecue in silence. A little bit.
"I'll go check out."
Wang Chao wiped his mouth, then stood up and walked to the counter.
But just as he was about to pay, Xu Hao's figure appeared behind him.
"Hey brother, I have money."
Wang Chao spoke subconsciously, but Xu Hao didn't want to talk to him about it.
"You will see Zhang Min off later."
"What do you do?"
Wang Chao was a little confused. Although they lived not far apart, Xu Hao obviously didn't want him to send him away.
"I took a taxi, you are stupid."
Xu Hao was a little speechless, but after a moment of silence, he said:
"Well, there's nothing else, just pay attention."
Wang Chao was suspicious, but nodded, "Okay."
Immediately, he paid the bill.
After a while, a car started driving slowly.
Wang Chao took the people and drove towards the west of Jiangsan City. .
"We're home."
At 10:40 in the evening, Wang Chao parked the car.
"Ah? Oh."
Zhang Min came to his senses and said, "Thank you."
She thanked her and got out of the car. Wang Chao behind her stopped her.
"Are you really okay?" Wang Chao asked confused.
Zhang Min paused, then raised her head and looked at Room 502.
There was a balcony, a dark, bottomless balcony. At this moment, something seemed to be standing there, silently staring at Zhang Min below in the darkness.
Zhang Min had a smile on his face and looked at Wang Chao.
"It's okay."
"That's good, call me if you need anything." Wang Chao nodded.
After saying that, Zhang Min took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the unit building.
This building was built just a few years ago, but now it feels a bit in disrepair. I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
As the sound of the corridor sounded, the voice-activated light in front of the elevator door also lit up white.
After a while, the footsteps disappeared in the elevator.
Not long after, he appeared again on the fifth floor.
Zhang Min looked at his room, and in a daze, he felt a line of sight behind him.
He turned around and saw that the old man from Room 501 was also walking from the corridor. He looked at her about to open the door with a strange look in his eyes. After sighing, he didn't care and walked directly into his house.
'He entered the room and never came out again. ’
'My guess is that he might still be in the house'
The words the other party said to him in the afternoon appeared in Zhang Min's mind unconsciously.
Zhang Min was silent for a moment, then the next second.
"Squeak~"
The door opened.
The room was still silent, nothing happened, and there were no traces of man-made signs.
Zhang Min turned on the light and looked at the time. He wanted to go to bed, but unfortunately he was not sleepy at all, so he had to sit on the sofa and read a book.
There are many books on the bookshelf in the living room.
There are probably three sources, left behind by Zhang Min’s landlord and previous tenant.
Zhang Min wanted to take out the economic book he brought and read it, but suddenly, he saw another book.
This is a book.
Diary?
Zhang Min paused, and moved towards the diary with his finger that was about to touch the economic books.
There is no signature in the diary, and there is not much written in it. Judging from the time, it should belong to the previous tenant. The diary should be written to solve problems for oneself.
Zhang Min slowly opened it, and with his movements, the first page gradually appeared in front of him.
[2003, December 14. 】
【Weather: Cloudy】
[I seemed to see a shadow. The shadow stood in the distance and looked at me silently. But the strange thing is that everyone said they didn’t see it, even if the shadow never moved from beginning to end.]
< br>
【2003, December 15th】
【Weather: light rain】
[I saw him again. I don’t know if it was an illusion. He seemed to be closer than yesterday. The face was blurry and I couldn’t see clearly. 】
[Besides me, three friends seemed to have seen it too]
[2003, December 17. 】
[I saw it, I saw it, a ghost, it was a ghost! It was closer to me and I saw his face! 】
[There is a ghost, there is a ghost! 】
[2003, December 23. 】
[It is getting closer to me. This is not an illusion. I have to hide. I have to hide! 】
[Madman, madman, no matter where I hide, it can find me! 】
[Sewers, trash cans, toilets, it can all find me! 】
[It is a little closer to me, less than five meters away. I want to hide. I want to find a place to hide.]
[Damn it, why can’t you see it? Why can’t you see it! ! ! 】
【It’s here again, it’s here again, no matter where I hide, it can always find me.】
[This time it was closer to me. I could clearly see the blood on his face, the white eyes, and the face full of corpse spots.]
【I want to hide, I want to hide myself.】
【I want to find a place where it can’t be found! 】
[Hey, I found a hiding place. 】
The diary ends at this point.
Zhang Min felt hairy behind her back.
She opened her throat, but felt dry. She wanted to say something, but her fingertips felt cold again.
If this diary is really written by the previous tenant.
So, where was the last place where the other party found him?
The final surveillance showed that since he entered the house, he has never come out
Is he hiding somewhere in this house?
"It's impossible. This has to be more than ten days. We can't hide here forever."
Zhang Min felt furious, looked around, and whispered.
"Also, what is that ghost?"
"There can't really be a ghost."
She muttered to herself.
But soon she stopped talking.
If the other party is really still in this room.
At this time, he was hiding in an invisible corner, watching himself flipping through his diary and mumbling to himself
At this moment, Zhang Min's scalp was numb.
She suppressed the feeling in her heart and searched the room again.
Toilet, living room, bedroom.
Zhang Min stood in front of the mirror, looked at his face in the mirror, looked at himself, and then knocked on the mirror.
It is very solid and has no hollow inside.
Check the couch again and even the ceiling.
Not even a mouse.
The big stone in Zhang Min's heart suddenly fell, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him in August, and the pressure on his shoulders suddenly disappeared without a trace.
She just said it.
How could there be ghosts in this world?
Again.
Zhang Min checked the house three times inside and outside.
Coupled with Wang Chao and professional Li Jianye, the number of inspections can be a total of four times.
The house only has one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. In such a large place, it still has a simple style. No matter how hard it is hidden, where can it be hidden?
Maybe the surveillance is broken.
Or maybe the old lady opposite was mentally disturbed and came specifically to scare this young man like her.
But
‘Let’s find another place. This is too far from the headquarters. Find one closer to here.’
Zhang Min thought so in his heart.
As long as she gets through today and shows up during the day, she will definitely rent another house!
However, I'm afraid I'll have to stay up all night today.
Zhang Min hesitated slightly and looked at the bed in the bedroom. After thinking for a moment, he went to the bathroom.
But I didn't take a shower.
She always felt like there was a gaze staring at her from behind.
This is true even when simply washing your hair.
She looked up suddenly and looked behind her.
But saw nothing.
His heart became more and more hairy, and he unconsciously sped up the movements of his hands.
Then I used the hair dryer that came with me to dry my hair, and sat down on the bed to get ready for bed.
But it's a pity.
As for the old lady, there is also the contents of the diary.
The constant repetition in her mind tortured her spirit and made her unable to sleep.
A long while.
Zhang Min's stable heart beat faster again. After he couldn't rest still, he stood up and prepared to check again.
Is there anything in the room that hasn’t been turned over?
Kitchen, under the table, under the sofa, toilet, ceiling
I checked all of these, back and forth, over and over again many times, but found nothing.
But no matter what, she always felt that there was a sight behind her, staring at her all the time, making people feel on pins and needles.
Until
Zhang Min aimed his gaze at a cabinet.
The cabinet is not big, just a drawer under the wardrobe.
It was written in the diary that the other party was hiding in this cabinet door, but
This cabinet is so small, who can hide in it?
Zhang Min didn't know, she only knew that the other party was mentally abnormal.
Maybe
Is he in the cupboard at home?
He stuffed himself alive into this drawer.
Zhang Min stared at the cabinet door, as if she could see the person hiding in the cabinet through the cabinet.
She reached out her hand and placed it on it.
Hold your breath and concentrate, then.
"Chi!"
Suddenly, the cabinet door opened and there was nothing inside.
Zhang Min breathed a sigh of relief.
The cupboard was empty, nothing.
Of course, there are some signs of being stretched inside, which can prove the diary, but in any case, the other party is not here.
"Scare yourself"
Zhang Min smiled easily and was about to go back to bed after looking around.
But.
A pair of eyes.
Suddenly he looked at Zhang Min.
moment.
The whole world seemed to be stuck in a stagnant state of time.
The air conditioner hanging on the wardrobe, in the tiny cracks, exists
A pair of eyes.
"Chi~"
Suddenly, his eyes seemed to realize something and rolled.
Those scattered, dead, pale eyes, through the gap
Looking directly at Zhang Min.
This is the previous tenant.
He will himself
Hidden in the air conditioner.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
A sharp explosion sounded.
The voice-activated lights in the entire corridor suddenly turned on.
When the car was parked in the community, Wang Chao, who had been sleeping in the car and was worried about his niece, was awakened by the sound.
He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.
"Crack!"
The door opens.
He didn't even wear a coat and rushed into the community.
This moment.
The whole community gradually boiled.
at the same time.
Xu Hao's home.
A voice floated in Xu Hao's ears while he was sleeping.
He sat up calmly and went to the bathroom to wash up a bit.
Then he sat on the edge of the bed, his heart sinking.
The next second, a light blue light curtain appeared in front of him, and there was a voice accompanying the light curtain.
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission.]
【(Unfinished)】
[Reward cards are available in four levels: 25% sense of substitution, 50% sense of substitution, 75% sense of substitution, and 100% sense of substitution]
[Composition time: seven days. 】
[Penalty for failure: Cancel the reward for this mission. 】
The mission was triggered again.
But considering the time, it’s no problem.
There is a feeling that is unexpected and unexpected.
It’s just that this case.
Looking at the name of the mission, Xu Hao narrowed his eyes.
【The name of this case is:】
[‘Ghost knocking on the door case! ’]
[Note: Do you believe that ghosts exist in this world? 】
[Perhaps, there is a ghost hiding behind every door, just waiting for you to push the door open]
[Note: Open the door carefully. Maybe the person knocking on the door is not necessarily a person, but maybe a ghost? 】
"Ghost knocking on the door"
ps: Friends who like to stay up late and read novels before going to bed, have a good night
