At this moment, I felt that the time around me had stopped, and my body went stiff together. I seemed to have returned to the Jinhe Community not long ago, facing the pale Zhang Qiling, but at this time, Zhang Qiling was already covered in blood. He looked at me with a strange smile, his lips slowly opening and closing, as if he was telling me something, but I couldn't hear anything.
"Ji Wen, Ji Wen!"
Suddenly, I was awakened by the voice of Officer Yang in front of me, and then I realized that I was already sweating profusely, just like when I was taking the one-thousand-meter long-distance running test in high school.
"Officer Yang Yang, are you kidding me? If Zhang Qiling is dead, then who is the person I met today who opened the door for me and signed for the express delivery? Could it be the ghost of Zhang Qiling? If you don't believe it, I’ll go back to the store now and bring you the signed express delivery receipt.”
I was already a little incoherent, and Officer Yang's condition was not much better than mine. He took a sip of the cigarette in his hand, put out the cigarette, reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said slowly: "Don't talk nonsense, in this world Where did the ghost come from? Judging from your appearance, you are probably not lying. In this case, I understand the general situation. By the way, you should be able to distinguish the so-called empty bags now. Can you guarantee that I will see you next time? Can you find it as soon as you arrive?"
If you ask me to do other things, I may not be able to do it, but finding the express delivery I want among the many express delivery options is as simple as bending down to pick something up. I nodded and said, "No problem. ”
Officer Yang felt relieved and stood up to leave, saying: "Next time you see this kind of express delivery, don't deliver it. Contact me as soon as possible, okay? I will also notify all the express delivery companies in Zhongwei City. Once you find this package, hand it over immediately. By the way, do you still have the phone number I left for you?"
I took out the phone number from under the coffee table. Officer Yang forced a smile and said, "Okay, it's time for me to leave. You, you, have to be more careful."
Looking at the back of Officer Yang slowly leaving, I was very confused at this time. I was associated with that empty bag again and again, but I didn’t know much about it. In fact, everyone is the same. Unknown things make me more frightened. I am even afraid that one day I will die inexplicably in the hands of such an empty bag. Seeing Officer Yang about to go out, I want to stop him, but I have already heard the sound of the door closing.
After Officer Yang left, I felt that I instantly lost any sense of security. The only thing in my mind was the slightly pale face of Zhang Qiling I saw today. Is all this real? Could it be that I really saw a ghost
I have never believed in ghosts and gods, but if such a thing really happens, who can guarantee 100% disbelief? Officer Yang still didn't let me know the condition of the body this time. Could it be that the police really had some difficulties in this case
I have a big shortcoming, that is, I am very curious about everything, especially these cases. This is why I like to watch some detective mystery films and novels. Sometimes I even Go search for some real-life cases and browse with relish.
Now the less Officer Yang wants to say it, the more curious it arouses my curiosity. Although this may make me angry, I decided to verify this matter myself. After all, I saw Zhang Qiling today, who had been dead for a long time. Who would I be in my place? I can't stand it. I don't believe that I have seen a ghost. I must find out who this person I saw is.
I got up and tidied up a little, changed into more decent-looking clothes, left home and went to the express store. The proprietress seemed to be pretty busy at this time and was sitting in front of the computer watching TV series.
"Why are you back again? Did you forget something?"
I walked to the cabinet and took out all the express orders I delivered today. While looking for Zhang Qiling's express order, I said, "No, there was something wrong with one of the things I sent today. The recipient called me and asked me to come over and take care of it."
That's what it's like to be a courier. Once something goes wrong during express delivery, it must be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, the loss will be unbearable for me as a courier, not to mention the fine from the headquarters. If this thing is lost, then It’s definitely scarier than losing my money directly.
Because I will never know what the lost thing is or how much it is worth.
Xiao Wang from the West Street branch is a living example. An inconspicuous small package he delivered disappeared some time ago. He didn't take it seriously at first and was prepared to pay a hundred yuan in compensation, but who knew where it was sent? After the person sent the item information, Xiao Wang was completely dumbfounded. The small package actually contained a Samsung N9300, and it was not insured. This compensation directly cost Xiao Wang more than two months of salary. At the same time, It also served as a wake-up call to me. I must not be careless if I encounter something like this in the future.
The landlady naturally knew the seriousness of this matter, so she immediately put down the TV series and came over to look for the order with me, and asked about the process. I just said something vaguely, and after finding the order, I hurried towards Jinhe Community.
I have also made two preparations. If I don't see Zhang Qiling, it will be fine. If I see Zhang Qiling, I can use the pretext that there is a problem with the express delivery to find out who the person is who is pretending to be a ghost to scare me.
When I arrived at Jinhe Community, I first looked around and found that there were no police officers nearby. Then I went straight to Zhang Qiling's house. Soon I arrived at the door of Zhang Qiling's house on the third floor. However, I found strangely that everything at the door of Zhang Qiling's house was different from that of Zhang Qiling's house. It's exactly the same as when I came here before, nothing has changed.
According to what I usually see in TV dramas and novels, since a murder occurred here, it should be blocked, or at least a seal should be posted, right? Why is there nothing? Didn't the murder happen here
I stood at the door and observed for a long time. Although the door was locked, I could still hear that there was no movement at all in the room at this time. It was so quiet that I wanted to reach out and knock on the door, but I never had the courage, so my hand stopped In mid-air, it was never knocked down.
Just when I was hesitant, there was suddenly a brisk sound of people coming upstairs. I turned around and saw that the person walking up was Zhang Qiling himself!
Zhang Qiling was still wearing nine-point jeans and a white shirt, and a pair of simple canvas shoes added a bit of vitality. However, Zhang Qiling also saw me and seemed to recognize me. He walked up to me and said with a smile: "Brother, courier, again Do you have my express delivery?”
When I saw Zhang Qiling, my nerves immediately became tense. I didn’t know what to say for a moment. The image of Zhang Qiling in the wedding photo that Officer Yang showed me always flashed in my mind. He was exactly the same as the person in front of me!
Thinking of this, I subconsciously lowered my head and looked at Zhang Qiling's feet. I had read many horror movies and supernatural novels before, and they all said that ghosts have no shadows, but the Zhang Qiling in front of me has a shadow. Obviously, this 'Zhang Qiling' is a Living people are not ghosts.
At this time, I was extremely nervous. Although the girl pretending to be Zhang Qiling in front of me was probably the murderer, in order to clarify the doubts in my heart, I still pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "That's it. Today I There seems to be something wrong with the information sent by the courier. Our boss asked me to check it. "
"That's it. I'm so sorry. When I opened it, I found that there was nothing inside, and then I threw it away. I don't know if there is still anything in the trash can in the community now." Zhang Qiling said apologetically.
"Thrown it away? Empty?" I was stunned when I got such an answer. Originally, I wanted to follow the clues and enter her home. First, I wanted to see if this was really the crime scene that Officer Yang said. Second, I wanted to see where the crime was. What exactly was in the empty bag? But when she said that, I didn’t know how to answer the question.
"Yeah, is there something wrong? If that doesn't work, I'll go with you to see your boss, tell him clearly in person, and ask him not to embarrass you."
Zhang Qiling seems very approachable. It is the first time I have seen Zhang Qiling say something like this. Looking at Zhang Qiling’s weak body and shy smile, it is impossible for me to connect her with the murderer. The tension I felt before was also instantaneous. The smoke cleared.
"It's okay. I'll just go and explain. It shouldn't be anything. I'm a little thirsty along the way. I wonder if I can go in and get a glass of water?"
When I said this, my eyes were fixed on Zhang Qiling in front of me, wanting to see how she would react. If what Officer Yang said is true, this room is definitely a different world, and it is definitely not what it seems on the surface now. It looks so harmonious.
The strange thing is that Zhang Qiling also raised her head and looked at me. I keenly noticed that a fierce light flashed in her eyes! Although it was only for a moment, it made all the hairs on my body stand up!
Could it be that this girl disguised as Zhang Qiling is really the murderer, and is she going to kill me now to silence her
I didn't dare to look into Zhang Qiling's eyes anymore, and subconsciously turned my gaze to the side. Zhang Qiling didn't speak either, and the atmosphere instantly fell into an extremely awkward silence.
Just when I thought that my guess was completely correct and that the person in front of me was the murderer and was about to kill me to silence me, Zhang Qiling suddenly took a step back warily, then looked at me like a gangster and said, "What, what do you want? Why did you trick me into the house? Do you want to do something evil to me in broad daylight? I thought you were a nice courier guy. Who knew you had such ambitions? You should leave quickly, or I will call the police. !”
