Chapter 64. [Case Eleven] First Appearance

I have always believed that there are only three kinds of people in this world, men, women, and Hu Zongren. So I am not surprised at all when Hu Zongren shows that lewd expression when he sees a beautiful woman. I admit that I am also a person who likes to look at beautiful women.

, but in comparison, I am much more restrained than Hu Zongren, and I only stay at the level of appreciating beauty, while Hu Zongren is more likely to have his mind filled with pictures of human desire.

Sure enough, when he saw the little sister, he immediately stood up and sat on a seat next to him. Then he wiped the seat where he had been sitting with his sleeves, and said to the little sister diligently, please sit down.

Here. After the little girl sat down, she seemed a little reserved. Maybe it was because of her young age, the fact that she had encountered such a thing, and she was not familiar with us. Hu Zongren waited until she sat down and asked her, I need you to be careful.

Please describe to me the appearance of that old lady, be specific, because you are the only one who sees her the most in this store, and she seems to take the initiative to say hello to you and call you over, so you should know best, right,

What's your name? How old are you?

The little girl said her surname was Tian, ​​she was a major student from Hunan, and she had just been promoted to sophomore year in the second half of this year. She came to work part-time not because of poor family conditions, but because she really didn’t want to waste time playing after school.

Computers and falling in love came together. Hu Zongren spat and said, how can falling in love be a waste of time? We must seize the wonderful youth! I thought he was a little off topic, so I coughed twice on purpose.

Oda said that if it hadn't been for what happened later, she would have looked the same as the other old ladies she met on the street. Her hair was about the length of her neck, with a black hair.

She wore a hoop and tucked her hair behind her ears. Her hair was all white, and she looked almost 70 years old. I tried to imagine the appearance of the old lady Oda mentioned. I don’t know why, but it made me think of the elderly version.

Liu Hulan. After saying this, Xiaotian fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

Hu Zongren asked her, is this gone? Xiaotian said a little embarrassedly, what else can be said about the appearance of an old man? In short, if it weren't for that cup of hot milk, I'm afraid I still wouldn't realize that she is no longer

Man, I am a bit unbelievable about these things. Now you ask me to keep recalling these things. Isn’t this embarrassing me? Hu Zongren looked at me helplessly. His mouth hesitated several times, but he didn’t know what to say.

What's good? After a while, he said, then, I heard from the store manager Xie that he saw her again the night before yesterday when you were working the night shift. Oda said that that night, he saw that there were no customers in the store, so he sat down

She was playing with her mobile phone on the small bench under the counter. After speaking, she pointed towards the counter and said, the counter is relatively high, generally speaking, customers cannot see me while standing, and I can hear the sound if someone comes in. I was

I only heard a bang-dong-dong sound, until I looked up and saw the old lady, and then asked her not to scare me, and then I didn't see her again. I asked her, did the "dong-dong-dong" sound you mentioned sound like

What was it coming from? Oda thought for a while and said, if he guessed correctly, it should be the sound of the old lady tapping the wall with the handle of her umbrella.

I followed Oda's gaze and looked at the floor above the counter. In fact, if we looked up from where we were sitting on the first floor, we could see some of the tables and chairs on the second floor. In other words, between the two floors

The partition between them is a floor and railings. In this way, the old woman hangs upside down from above. I can figure it out. Maybe she can do this if she is replaced by someone thinner or smaller.

One point. Xiaotian went on to say, since he first brought the old lady a cup of hot water, I think this is also the reason why the old lady paid more attention to me. Because she did not take the initiative to scare other people, but only had sex with me.

A few words of exchange.

Xiaotian looked at Hu Zongren and said, brother, I think that old woman is not a bad person. If you want to find her, can you not do anything to hurt her? After all, she is so old and dead. What Xiaotian said

As soon as the words came out, Hu Zongren and I were still a little surprised. If it were anyone else, they might treat such a strange old man with the same enthusiasm as Xiaotian at the beginning, but they may not be able to do this after knowing that the other person is a ghost.

Tolerance and compassion are more likely to be like store manager Xie. After learning that the other person is a ghost, the main thing they think of is to ask someone to clean it up. As for the ways and means to clean it up, for them

It doesn’t seem that important anymore. So I was a little moved when Xiaoda said this. Most girls her age are quite spoiled. As a generation under the one-child policy, most of them are quite selfish, even myself.

In this way, it is very rare to be able to maintain calm analysis and objective judgment when things happen suddenly and are beyond the scope of one's understanding.

While talking, almost all the customers in the store had left. After the last customer left, Manager Xie walked out of the work area, locked the door with a key, and hung a closed sign at the door. In order to prevent

When others saw her, she even put the X-display stands or roll-up banners used for advertising in the store at the door to block people from seeing in through the transparent glass door, and then closed it very carefully.

The lights on the first floor were turned on on the second floor, and then seven or eight clerks came to us. This fast food restaurant, which is said to be open 24 hours a day, was forced to close because of the arrival of Hu Zongren and me.

Door.

The position we were in was on the innermost right side of the entrance, so if the curtain was pulled down, we would not be visible from the outside. A group of people gathered around us, but no one spoke first, perhaps because they thought this was too absurd.

, it would be wrong for anyone to speak first. After a while, the store manager Xie said to Hu Zongren, these are all the employees in our store, most of them have seen the old lady with their own eyes, of course in the past.

At that time, when we didn't realize she was a ghost, if you two masters have anything you want to consult, just ask.

Hu Zongren asked them some basic information. In fact, most of them asked whether the old woman behaved the same every day after entering the store. Who among them had direct contact with the old woman, such as bringing her water? In fact, the answer

Most of them have been found in the mouths of store manager Xie and Xiaotian before, so the statements of these clerks basically only serve as supporting evidence. Except for one of the male clerks who suddenly said that on the second day after the incident,

On the day I invited the Taoist priest to do the practice, the water dispenser downstairs suddenly broke down. Something seemed to have blocked the water outlet. Water kept flowing out, but the water did not splash out at all. It was about a cup full.

It stopped on its own.

Hu Zongren smiled and said to me, it seems that the old woman didn't take the Taoist priest seriously at all. You do your own thing and I will pour the water myself. As soon as Hu Zongren said this, many people laughed.

When he got up, the originally tense atmosphere became much more relaxed. Hu Zongren stood up, walked to the position near the door, and then asked everyone if she was like this every time she came in before she was discovered to be a ghost.

Sitting here? Everyone said yes in unison. Hu Zongren asked again, which side was she sitting on? Because there were two seats side by side, one by the window and one near the counter. Everyone said she was near the counter.

Hu Zongren sat down in that position without saying a word, and then curled up slightly. I knew that he was imitating the height of the old woman. Then he looked around and calculated the distance from the entrance to the seat.

and the angle, and then looked at whether he could see some reflective things at this position. Finally, he came to the conclusion that the reason why this old woman sits here every time is not for other reasons, but because this place is the only

A place where no reflection can be seen at all.

I also stood up, walked around and looked around, and found that it was exactly what Hu Zongren said, and this location was also a straight line away from the counter. Anyone who came in and out of the store would inevitably pass by and look at it.

To reach this position. Hu Zongren continued to say that she chose this place not to pretend to be a ghost from the beginning, but to let you know that she is a ghost.

After Hu Zongren said this, everyone was in an uproar. Xiaotian was the only one silent there, just looking up at the second floor from time to time. Hu Zongren waved to me and said, come and check the movement here.

Look at the strength and weakness, and then make some calculations based on the time everyone said to see if you can judge the ghost's ability and whether it is good or evil. I walked to Hu Zongren and took out the compass and started checking. There was a strong reaction on the seat.

What I mean by strong is compared to the ghost of an old lady. It stands to reason that people around 70 years old have already known their destiny. No matter how afraid of death they are, they also know that this day will come sooner or later, and it will get worse.

The sooner it comes, so if this ghost retains any obsession, maybe the wording is not quite appropriate. At this age, what can he not think about? So it is not necessarily an obsession, but some kind of care.

Why did my wife? Children? Why did she suddenly appear in this store on such an unspecial day, and deliberately let everyone be aware of her, at least the clerks in this store, and the male customer who made trouble at the beginning and the final panic

Another customer who escaped saw her, why should everyone see it?

At this time, Hu Zongren's eyes began to stare at the second floor. Then he waved to me and pointed in the direction of the second floor. We all followed Hu Zongren's fingers and found that there was a door on the second floor near the stairs going downstairs.

There, an old lady was sitting with her feet together, her hands on her knees, and an old and dirty white hooked umbrella beside her. She just sat there, looking at me and Hu Zongren.

There was no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
