"How is it? Did you sleep well last night?"

When I was eating noodles in the morning, Foreman Zhao asked me quietly.

"Smell! It smells so good!" I said.

Foreman Zhao grinned and said, "That's good! That's good! But you should take care of yourself more!"

"Thank you, Foreman Zhao for your concern!" I said angrily.

Foreman Zhao didn't hear the unhappiness in my words at all, and he was still silly: "No need to thank me, I also came from the age of Jiu Ye! I have experienced it too!"

"What are you talking about?" Liu Hongyi bought a fried dough stick and walked back. She didn't want to eat noodles, so she went to buy a fried dough stick.

"Oh, I'm asking Mr. Zhao how far it is to get from the county town to Jishou, right, Mr. Zhao?" I gave Foreman Zhao a wink.

Foreman Zhao said: "Yes! Yes! It takes a few hours to ride a car!"

After breakfast, we walked towards the passenger station and bought three tickets to Jishou.

As soon as he got into the car, Liu Hongyi found a place by the window and covered her face: "Hey, Xiao Jiu, please watch me, I'm going to sleep!"

"I just got up now, why are you going to sleep again?" I asked.

"Nonsense!" Liu Hongyi showed one eye and yawned, "I swear I will never sleep with you again. Your snoring is really earth-shaking!"

"Ah? Do I want to snore? Haha, I'm sorry, maybe I've been too tired in the past few days!" I scratched my head and said embarrassedly.

After Liu Hongyi said this, she probably felt something was wrong. Her cheeks turned slightly red. She quickly covered her face with clothes and stopped talking to me.

Almost afternoon, we arrived in Jishou City.

Compared with small county towns, Jishou City naturally seems much more prosperous.

However, although Jishou is the capital of Xiangxi Prefecture, because the entire Xiangxi region is not well developed, Jishou is not a very wealthy and developed place. It is just that compared to our countryside, it is definitely a big city. The rows of buildings are dazzling to me.

I have only been to Jishou a few times since I was a child. Because I have no relatives and friends in Jishou, I almost never come here normally.

We had some stir-fry at the entrance of the passenger station, and then Foreman Zhao took us to the construction site.

The work that Foreman Zhao and his friends took on this time was mainly about demolition, demolition of an old city, and it is said that a new shopping mall was planned to be built here.

The Internet cafe where Zhao Gao was in trouble was right behind the construction site, in an alley on the back street.

It used to be a bad Internet cafe, but later the boss found some contact and bought the certificate and procedures. After a few days of buying it, Zhao Gao happened. The owner of the Internet cafe was also scared. Fortunately, the procedures were back. If the business was still in the previous state of unlicensed operation, he would have taken the blame.

On the construction site, several workers greeted me. When they saw me coming here, they were all very happy. Many of them came from Shuiwa Village. Some of them came to my house with Foreman Zhao some time ago. They were naturally familiar with my name, so when they saw me coming, they seemed to see hope.

One of them held my hand and said, "Mr. Jiu is here, this matter can be solved. Brothers, are you right?"

"Yes! We believe in Master Jiu!" The workers agreed.

"It seems that you are quite famous in a village of 10 miles!" Liu Hongyi smiled at me.

"Haha, I'm a little famous! I'm a little famous!" I scratched my head. The workers' expectations for me are so high. If this matter is not done properly, then I can't get out of the table?

After a few greetings with the workers, I asked Foreman Zhao to take me to the scene of the incident.

Foreman Zhao took Liu Hongyi and me through the construction site, went out from the back door of the construction site, and walked into the alley.

I observed the situation here everywhere. The alley is located on the back street and the sun almost does not shine here, so even in broad daylight, it seems a bit gloomy. The houses on both sides of the alley are very old and there are many self-built houses. There was no standardized construction layout before, which left many problems, which has become an obstacle to promoting urbanization.

The Internet cafe is in the middle of this alley. From a distance, I saw a sign of an Internet cafe hanging on the tree. The name on the sign also blinded my eyes. There was an arrow on it, and there were three big words written on it: "Black Internet cafe!"

Damn, the owner of this Internet cafe is a street fighter on this street. He dares to blatantly tell others that he is a black Internet cafe and has a temper. This name has to be convinced.

The rolling shutter door of the Internet cafe is closed and an iron lock is hung on it. Since Zhao Gao committed suicide in the Internet cafe, the Internet cafe has been closed and even the boss has never appeared.

"Zhao Gao's body is here, no one has touched the scene!" Foreman Zhao said to me.

I nodded. It was not easy for us to force it into this daytime, after all, there were still people living in this alley.

So I said to Foreman Zhao: "Wait until it's dark, we will come back, bring the tools and open the door!"

Foreman Zhao said ok and took us back.

When we just walked to the back door of the construction site, a face suddenly appeared from behind the pile of debris, which scared us.

The ghost face grinned at us, and we looked closely and it turned out to be a human face, but that face was so sloppy, with oily and dark all over the face, and almost no longer visible.

"Puppy, you're scary!" Foreman Zhao came to his senses and patted his chest with lingering fear.

The "puppy" that Master Zhao said was a sloppy little beggar. He said he was a little beggar, but he was not young. He probably was in his twenties or thirties. His face was dark and his hair was messy. He was like a chicken coop. He was wearing a thin piece of clothing and a blanket he picked up from somewhere. He wore a pair of ripped jeans on his lower body, a leather shoe on his left foot and a rubber shoe on his right foot. It seemed like he had some brain problems.

Foreman Zhao told us that this puppy is a homeless man in this area. He is a little mentally retarded and has a little bad brain. He has no father or mother. No one knows where he comes from. But some people say that he once saw an urban management law enforcement vehicle throwing the puppy here. Anyway, the puppy searches for food on this construction site every day, swinging around like a wandering soul. The workers saw him pitiful and occasionally ordered leftovers for him to wrap his stomach.

"Haha! Haha!" The puppy smiled at us, clapping his hands while laughing: "Beauty! Beautiful!"

"I still have two cookies here! Are you hungry?" Liu Hongyi was kind-hearted and took out two cookies from her bag and handed them to the puppy.

The puppy did not reach out to pick up the biscuits, but instead grabbed Liu Hongyi's hand.

Foreman Zhao was startled and scolded sternly: "Puppy, what are you doing? Let go!"

The little dog stared at Liu Hongyi: "Don't go to the Internet cafe! Never go to the Internet cafe! Beauty, you promise me that you must not go to the Internet cafe!"

"Okay, okay, I promise you!" Liu Hongyi nodded, and the puppy let go of his hand. His fingers were dirty, leaving dark finger marks on Liu Hongyi's white and tender skin.

"Miss in Red, are you okay? Don't bother with him, he has some problems here! Let's go back first!" Foreman Zhao pointed to his head and asked us to go back to the construction site.

I did not leave immediately, but was careful because the little dog mentioned the "Internet cafe" just now, why didn't he let us go to the Internet cafe? Do you know something?

"Puppy, what's in the Internet cafe? Why don't you let the beauties go to the Internet cafe?" I stared at the puppy's eyes. His eyes were very cloudy. People with intellectual problems usually had scattered eyes. In layman's terms, their eyes did not gather.

The puppy lowered his head, looked around, waved at me, and signaled me to come over.

"I'll tell you... there are ghosts in the Internet cafe!" The little dog said softly in my ear.

Even in broad daylight, I suddenly heard such words, and I couldn't help but shivered.

Are there ghosts in the Internet cafe?!

"Puppy, then tell me, what have you seen or heard of?" I put my hands on the puppy's shoulders and asked him sincerely.

The puppy said to me mysteriously: "Every night, strange sounds will be heard in the Internet cafe, as if someone is laughing, and as if someone is crying..."

"What else?" I continued to ask.

The puppy shook his head and closed his mouth.

I let go of my hands and said goodbye to him. Just as I was about to walk back, the puppy suddenly called me: "There is another young lady who is not as beautiful as this sister in red. She came here once a few days ago and went to the Internet cafe to burn a pile of paper..."

I nodded. The message sent by the puppy to me was very limited. I could roughly know two things. First, Zhao Gao might have become a ghost; second, Zhao Gao's online dating little girlfriend has been here, and I don't know whether it was out of fear or guilt, she gave Zhao Gao a paper money.

These two information are somewhat useful to me, at least making me more cautious and vigilant.

"Your nephew's resentment may turn into a demon. Don't follow him later!" I said to Foreman Zhao.

Foreman Zhao opened his mouth and showed an incredible look: "Really, fake? Master Jiu, do you really believe in the words of the puppy? There is something wrong with his brain..."

"I would rather believe that there is anything than not!" I interrupted Foreman Zhao: "I need Zhao Gao's birth date. If possible, it would be better to get me a bottle of fresh rooster blood. You must have that kind of big red rooster. The brighter the cockscomb, the better!"

"Okay!" Foreman Zhao nodded immediately: "Master Jiu, I will do what you have told me right away!"

"Do you still want to go tonight?" I asked Liu Hongyi.

"Go! Why don't you go?" Liu Hongyi said calmly and answered very simply.
Chapter completed!
