Chapter 3 The second chapter is a ghost or a demon

"Amu, your trouser chain is not closed." Just as he probed into the air-conditioning duct to check, he suddenly heard a familiar female voice, and hurriedly lowered his head to check the trouser chain. fell off the raised chair.I thought that I would definitely fall to my death this time, but when I fell, I suddenly found a strange thing. The floor became uneven for some reason, but it was surprisingly soft.And it also has a feminine fragrance, which makes me reluctant to get up, and I really want to lie down like this all the time. "Don't get up, you're looking for death!" Zhen Zhen's angry voice exploded from my ears, and the soft "floor" then roughly pushed me aside.It turned out that I was pressing on Zhen Zhen's body just now, no wonder it was so soft, especially the protruding part.

When I got up, I found that my trousers were zipped up properly, and Yue Tong was standing at the door covering her mouth and laughing.Alas, she played tricks again.I really want to find out Xiaoxiang, her concubine, right away, so that I don't have to play tricks on her all the time and dare not say a word.However, if Xiao Xiang could be found so easily, I would have picked him out two years ago. I explained the situation to Yue Tong, because her subordinates were collecting evidence in the women's bathroom, so I asked her to check the air-conditioning duct in person to see if there were any clues in it.I refolded the chair, and when she put on her gloves and took out the tools and climbed onto the chair accurately, she suddenly said to me: "Does the dress I wear look good today?"

She is wearing a light yellow skirt, which looks good with the top, and the length is also very suitable, which can show off her slender feet, so my answer is of course: "It looks good, at least it can hit ninety Minute." "Thank you!" She smiled at me, but put away her smile for a moment: "Then why are you still standing here?" "This..." God of longevity!My peeping plan was seen through by her. After being kicked out of the tea room by Yue Tong and Zhen Zhen, I came to Huang Jing's desk. He was proofreading the manuscript, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, as if he didn't notice my approach at all.I asked him about hauntings, and his answers were so succinct that he spared words like gold. He answered every question I asked, and never said too much.Although his answer was extremely concise, after all, he has been engaged in writing work for many years, so he can express the meaning clearly.

I learned from him that he is a very tidy person, and every object on the desk, even a piece of paper and a pen, has a fixed place.However, since the security guard met a ghost, he would find that the placement of some objects had changed every morning when he came.Although he didn't directly say that it was the work of ghosts, he told me that the colleagues in the editorial department, even Lin Anan, who just came here, knew clearly that he didn't like others to touch anything on his desk, so it shouldn't be a colleague who did it. of. It's quite boring to strike up a conversation with someone who doesn't like to talk, so instead of interrupting his work, I walked over to Lin An'an who was sitting at the desk in a daze.When she saw me pass by, she grinned and babbled endlessly, but she said nothing nutritious, such as asking me if I went to the bathroom to investigate, what I found, and whether I knew the cement girl. The ins and outs of ghosts, and even asked me if I would catch ghosts.It made me almost confused whether it was me or she who was investigating me.

"Did you encounter any strange things?" In order to prevent her from asking endlessly, I hurriedly asked while she was talking. "I can't tell you that. I'm a bit of a nerd, and I often lose things. Other colleagues say that things often change positions, but I don't notice." Her desk is like a battlefield, even if the positions of all things are messed up , she may not be aware of it. Then I asked some other questions, but I only learned from her that her brother-in-law Xiao Jianfeng had also met a ghost, but her expressive ability was not very good, and she only said that he saw a woman's face on the wall, maybe waiting for him It would be better to ask him directly when he came back, as false confessions are the most likely to disrupt the direction of the investigation.

Because she failed to provide me with valuable clues, I couldn't help but feel bored, so I wanted to smoke a cigarette.However, when I reached into my trouser pocket, I remembered that the lighter was still in the car, but I found a lipstick in my trouser pocket, which was the one I found in the bathroom just now, so I took it out to show her, intending to ask Does she know who the owner of the lipstick is. But before I could speak, she said first, "Lancome's cosmetics are very expensive, I wanted them a long time ago..." Judging from her expectant eyes, she seemed to think that I was going to give her the lipstick.

"Do you need makeup too? No, you have such a good complexion, red lips and white teeth, you are already beautiful without makeup." Although I am not very interested in little girls, but in order to avoid her pestering me to give her cosmetics , it is safer to close the back door first. No matter whether a woman is in her teens or eighty, she can't stand flattery. When she coaxed me like this, she immediately beamed with joy. Of course, she nodded and agreed to my request to find the owner of the lipstick.However, when she ran through the entire editorial department, she gave me a disappointed answer: "My sisters all said that this lipstick is not theirs."

Strange, this floor is only the newspaper office, if the lipstick doesn't belong to the women here, then who left it?I asked her, no one dares to go to the women's restroom, so do they usually go to the men's restroom? "Of course not!" She gave me a blank look, "We've been going to the bathroom downstairs these days." I asked her again if any outsiders came here just now, and have these people been to the bathroom?She put her finger to her lips, and thought for a while before answering: "Many people have been here, but only your people have been to the bathroom. I have been sitting here all morning, so it is very clear."

She can see the elevator from her position, and she has nothing to do, and outsiders will definitely attract her attention.However, no one other than us has been to the bathroom, and the women here deny that the lipstick is theirs, so who is the owner of the lipstick?Could it be a man here?If that's the case, it's really thunderous. At this moment, Yuetong and the others walked out of the tea room, and I went up to ask her what she found.She suddenly looked at the top of my head very nervously: "Stand still, don't move!" Then she took the clip and walked to me, as if she found something on my head.

She carefully extended the clamp to my head, which made me very nervous, not knowing what strange things were on my head.There was a sting near my temple, and I thought I had been stung by a bee, but the few hairs on the end of the clip let me know that she had only pulled out a few of my hairs. "Amu, your hair is very thin! It's younger than many girls." She looked at my hair and said seriously. "Are you complimenting me?" I suddenly felt a sense of injustice, and asked helplessly, "Why are you pulling my hair?" She handed me a magnifying glass and a transparent box containing a piece of hair: "This hair was found in the air-conditioning duct, and you put your head in it just now, so I have to make sure that it was yours. But yours The hair is so thin that it can be distinguished with the naked eye."

I used a magnifying glass to compare the hair in the box and on the clip, and found that there is a clear difference in thickness, which means that the hair found in the pipe is not my hair. "Could it be the hair from the renovation workers?" I asked. "There isn't much dust on the hair, it should have fallen off recently." Yuetong raised her eyebrows at Yiyi and threw the question to her, she replied in a positive tone: "At the beginning of summer, decoration workers came to maintain it." , but that was four or five months ago, and now the weather is starting to turn cold." It is very common for people to lose their hair, but it is rare for ghosts to lose their hair. Could it be that what Yiyi saw in the air outlet were human eyes?However, the pipe is so narrow, how can people get into it?I expressed the doubt in my heart, and Yue Tong said, "I don't know how to get in, but I can be sure that something must have moved in the pipe recently. Because there are no spider webs in it, and there is not even much dust." "You said, could a mouse have gotten in?" Zhen Zhen interrupted suddenly. "Do you think there will be rats who are free to climb up to the 13th floor for a walk? It's okay if there are restaurants here, but there are no restaurants in the whole building." Yue Tong said. "That might be a cat!" Zhen Zhen defended her reasoning.But her weak defense was still defeated by Yue Tong: "Will anyone bring cats to work?" "No one like us would bring pets to work, and I'm sure what I saw was human eyes." Yiyi also denied Zhen Zhen's guess. "Amu, what are you thinking now, why don't you speak?" Yue Tong asked seeing that I didn't express my opinion. "I wonder if what Yiyi sees is a head without a body." The air-conditioning duct is very narrow, and it is impossible for the whole person to get in, but if there is only the head, it is easy to get in. "I remember that there seems to be a kind of monster called Feitouman, a humanoid monster with a long neck..." Yue Tong's words made everyone tremble unconsciously. I called Viagra and asked him to search for information about Flying Touman on the Internet, and the answer I got was: "Flying Touman comes from Japanese legends. During the day, he is no different from ordinary people, but at night he turns into a monster to harm people. It is said that there are two types, one is that the neck can be extended infinitely, the other is that the head can be separated from the body, and the ears are used as wings to fly freely. No matter which one is, they all have one thing in common, that is There is a circle of red silk around the neck. Apart from Japan, there are similar records in China, South America and Poland. The earliest record is the "Luotoushi" mentioned in "Sou Shen Ji" in Jin Dynasty. A monster that became a monster after contracting a strange disease..." "Is it really the legendary Flying Man?" After I told everyone that Viagra had found the information, all the beauties turned pale again. "Perhaps, there is something I should tell you." When we were discussing, Editor-in-Chief Lin suddenly came over and interjected. He let the two women go to their respective jobs and invited us into the office.When I closed the door, he related a terrible thing to us—— Perhaps, you will find it very strange why the rumors about this building being haunted are so fierce, and even the nearby residential buildings all hang ghost mirrors in front of the windows.In fact, this is mainly because a tragic incident happened when the foundation of this building was being built. I heard that when the foundation was being built, there was a construction worker named Huang Jie. When his wife Chen Yan came to the construction site to look for him, she accidentally fell into the ground pile that had just been poured with cement.When everyone found her, her whole body was sunken in the cement, only her head was exposed, but she was still alive.However, when everyone wanted to save her, they found that the cement had solidified, and the pile had to be destroyed to save her.This would inevitably delay the progress of the building's construction. The construction company was of course unwilling, so they proposed to Huang Jie that they would give him 200,000 yuan at a time, and let him add cement to the ground piles and bury his wife alive. Huang Jie was obsessed with money for a while, so he accepted the construction company's proposal and buried his wife alive with his own hands.It is said that before being buried alive, Chen Yan cried out and said that after death, she would turn into a ghost to take revenge on everyone. Everyone thought that the matter would end like this, but after the building was completed, strange things began to happen. The elevators often stopped on floors where no one was there, and the employees who worked here also claimed to hear strange sounds, or things shifted inexplicably .Later, the news that Chen Yan was buried alive in the pile was spread, and it made people panic. The property management had to go to Hong Kong to invite a famous Feng Shui master to give advice. After careful calculation, Mr. Feng Shui believes that the Feng Shui pattern of the building is like a tombstone, and it is located at the junction of the main roads, absorbing all the yin and resentment from the five roads and condensing them into the foundation.And Chen Yan died with resentment in the first place, coupled with the five ways of resentment, it is very likely that she has turned into a monster that can only pass through walls. The most direct way to eliminate this monster is to dig out the corpse in the foundation and burn it, but to dig out the corpse would require the entire building to be demolished, which is of course impossible.Therefore, Mr. Feng Shui had no choice but to temporarily suppress the monster with some methods that treat the symptoms but not the root cause.The stone lions at the gate and the glass cover, etc., are all designed to isolate the five ways of evil and resentment, so as to suppress the monsters... Female ghosts covered in cement slurry, eyes in air-conditioning ducts, corpses buried in foundations, monsters that can pass through walls... After listening to Editor-in-Chief Lin's narration, this absurd and ridiculous thought.Perhaps, as Mr. Feng Shui said, this series of strange things was done by a monster that can only pass through the wall, which can explain why the footprints in the women's bathroom can't go in and out, and why she can walk through the narrow air-conditioning duct.But, do people really turn into monsters after death?Or do such monsters really exist in this world?However, from various indications, all this seems to be indeed done by monsters. Yuetong's subordinates have completed the forensics work in the women's bathroom, so she led everyone back to the technical team to analyze the forensics. When the test report comes out, it may provide us with some clues.In order to further confirm whether the monster exists, Zhen Zhen and I hope to learn about the situation from the population who have witnessed the monster.According to Editor-in-Chief Lin, besides Yiyi, there were two other people who had witnessed monsters, one was Xiao Jianfeng who was out for an interview, and the other was the security guard He Xi. Because Xiao Jianfeng was doing an interview outside and would not be back until later, we first went to the security room next to the lobby on the first floor to find out about the situation with He Xi.But when we entered the security room, we only saw a tall security guard sitting on a chair and dozing off. We knew from the ID on his chest that his name was Huang Yu.I glanced at his neck, and I could vaguely see a circle of red silk around his neck. Is it a coincidence? I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and he bounced up immediately. After recovering a little bit, he asked us in an impatient tone what's the matter?I showed my police ID and asked him if He Xi was on duty now. He yawned and replied, "That coward is on patrol, let me call him over!" He then used the walkie-talkie to call He Xi to the security room. Sitting and dozing again. While waiting for He Xi, I randomly observed the situation in the security room, and found a file cabinet in the corner, which should contain the information of all security personnel.Anyway, I was idle, so I asked Huang Yu if he had the key to the file, and if he could let me look up He Xi's information.He yawned again and said, "The cabinet is not locked. If you want to see it, you can go and get it yourself, and just put it away after reading it." After finishing speaking, he continued to doze off. I dug out two files from the filing cabinet, one of which belonged to He Xi, and the other belonged to Huang Yu.The reason why I dug out his information was not only because I found the red silk on his neck, but also because his height was similar to the owner of the shoe print in the bathroom, so I wanted to know his exact height. "181CM" is the number filled in the height column on his profile.Is it just a coincidence?
