Chapter 28 touch a cold hand

Carrying the toolbox, I walked out of the corridor unit where Hao Siwen's house was located, and walked into the adjacent unit.Go upstairs and ring the doorbell.A voice in the room asked, "Which one are you looking for?" Still in the name of gas safety inspection, I easily got the other party to open the door. The person who opened the door was a man with a very timid expression. A thin child held the door frame and stood at the door of the inner room looking at me.I reached out and said hello to the child: "Hello, kid, have you ever smelled gas?" The little boy replied loudly: "No."

"It's fine if you don't have one." I walked into the kitchen and tapped on the gas pipe.I thought to myself, most of the things happened to this child, but why did it happen?What's the point? I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't know the crux of the problem, so I had to repeat the old trick and said to the timid man who opened the door: "This gas pipe, this thing, let me tell you, this thing is not called a thing anymore. Isn’t it called something? It’s like this. Last month, there was a family in the east of the city. There was only a husband and wife in the family. When they were sleeping at night, there was always a hand groping in the middle. The husband thought it was his wife’s hand, and the wife I thought it was my husband's hand, but when I touched it, I felt something was wrong. The hand was cold and cold, and the nails on the hand were very sharp, and there seemed to be thick and hard hair growing between the fingers. Wife She was the first to notice something was wrong, but she was afraid. You think she is a woman who sleeps until midnight, and has such a strange hand touching her body, can she not be afraid? The wife was too scared to make a sound, so she She put her face on her husband's shoulder and bit her teeth hard. The husband let out an 'ouch' in pain, and retracted his hand with a whoosh.

"At this moment, the husband also knew that something was wrong. Like his wife, he was trembling with fear. Trembling and trembling, the strange hand came over again. No matter how scared the husband was, he couldn't forget that he was a man. He had to Protect his wife. So he gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed the hand and pulled it hard, and the hand pulled back hard, almost pulling the husband out of the bed. Fortunately, the wife hugged her husband at this time, and the two pulled hard together , and shouted desperately while pulling, 'Come quickly, come quickly and help...' The shout woke up the neighbor's house, and they came out and knocked on the door of their house, but no one opened the door, only the sound of the house was heard. Inside, the husband and wife shouted for help. The neighbor was in a hurry, so he simply took an ax and opened the door. As soon as he entered the house, he could smell... guess what it smelled?"

The timid man looked at me with a bit of blame. Although he didn't say it, the meaning was very clear: How can you say such strange things in front of children? I pretended not to know, and continued to ask, "Guess what the neighbor smelled?" At this time, the child yelled: "Gas smell, the gas in their house is leaking." "Hey, the answer is correct, plus 10 points." I put down the tools, and went to give the little boy a high-five, "You are so smart, you little brain, the teacher must have praised you for being smart." Seeing the heated fight between me and the child, the timid man felt awkward and asked, "The gas leaked, what does it have to do with that strange hand?"

"Guess." I threw the question to the little boy. The little boy blinked: "I can't guess." "What a simple question, why can't you figure it out?" I said loudly, "As soon as the neighbor entered the house, he smelled a strong smell of gas. Because of the gas leak, the husband and wife were poisoned by gas and had hallucinations." "Oh, what is it?" Although the little boy was very disappointed, he still raised his hand and gave me a high five. The timid man standing next to him didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and muttered: "The workers now are more able to talk nonsense than before." After speaking, he walked into the back room on his own.

When this person left, I was overjoyed and said to the little boy, "Let's test you again, have you experienced hallucinations recently?" The little boy immediately replied: "No." No?The little boy's answer almost made my body go limp.So the thread I'm following now is dead?Or am I searching too narrowly?Should I search every house in this building? I thought of carrying a toolbox, walking through every house covered in grease, telling each house a completely different ghost story, in order to find out if there was something unusual happening in their house.This kind of drudgery made my scalp tingle.

While worrying, the little boy asked me, "What should I do if the gas leaks?" I said, "What else can I do? Call the gas company immediately." The little boy ran back to the house, took paper and pen and came back: "You write down the phone number of the gas company for me." The phone... I took the paper and pen and racked my brains, what is the number for the gas company?Why can't I remember it?What happened to mess with my thoughts? The timid man came out from the back room, and laughed at me: "It's a shame you still do this job. My company's phone number is on my lips every day. When I really need it, I can't remember it."

"I talk about it every day..." I looked down at the paper and pen in my hand.What is on my lips and in my heart every day?That's right, it was the paper and pen that reminded me of Su Xiaohe's diary that was snatched away.I worked tirelessly and searched everywhere, in fact, for the diary, not for talking about ghost stories. I put down the paper and pen, squatted down, and held the little boy's shoulders with both hands: "Little friend, have you ever seen a diary? It's wide, bigger than 32, smaller than 16, with a pink cover. A cartoon of a mother-in-law cat in an apron holding a mop."

The little boy looked at me in surprise: "How do you know about that notebook?" Excited, I almost yelled.I don't know why!Because of this notebook, I ruined the future of my colleague Zhao Daben, and let Superintendent Luo Kai get rich.As the saying goes, there is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.How could I have imagined that the notebook fell into the hands of this child. The world is balanced, and a hair can move the whole body. There is a secret connection between all things, but there are too many related factors in this connection, and it is impossible to trace it back.You coughed in the primeval jungle of the Amazon, after billions of correlation transformations, subtractive amplification, interaction with each other, and chaotic hookups, the final result is a blonde in New Jersey, USA, gently messing with her lover with a toothbrush died.The progress of the relationship in this process, even if it is calculated by God himself, may not be able to pass.

I just know the connection exists, and only so far. Thinking in my heart, I laughed and said, "I lost that notebook somewhere when I came here for a security check last time. It is the most important thing to my girlfriend. Losing the notebook means that I I lost my girlfriend. Kid, can you tell me where is that notebook?" The little boy said: "Who told you not to speak earlier? The notebook was snatched by the tiger."
