The next morning, I was woken up by An Ning.
She climbed straight onto my bunk and shook me awake.
"Xiaohua! Xiaohua, wake up!"
With dim eyes, I crawled out of the quilt, squinted at her, and yawned.
"What's the matter, it's early in the morning."
Holding the phone in her hand, An Ning said to me excitedly, "I called my cousin and they turned off their phone!"
I yawned again and looked out the window. It seemed to be a cloudy day today. It was past 7 o'clock, but there was no sunlight coming in from outside.
It was looking a little overcast.
"Ah, An Ning, you are thinking too much. Maybe they are still sleeping at this point. If you call them so early, it is also possible that the phone is turned off."
"Xiaohua!"
I was awakened suddenly by her loud cry, I saw her serious and serious expression, and knew that she was not joking with me, so I resigned myself to my fate and climbed down from the bed, saying, "Okay, let's go to Xinquan. "
"Have you spoken to Grandpa An?"
I was dressed and asked with a toothbrush in my mouth, but An Ning actually lowered her head and didn't reply to my words.
After a while, she said, "No."
"Why don't you tell Grandpa An, if An Yu and the others are really in trouble..."
She frowned, looking very nervous, and said to me: "Grandpa left the city early this morning. I heard that the weird case before was not over, so he was invited to deal with it."
"Because it was an emergency, I didn't wait until the daytime today, and left in the early morning."
An Ning held the phone in her hand, and rubbed her fingers against the screen uneasily, her voice was very low, as if a stone weighing a thousand gold was pressing on her heart. I have rarely seen her appearance at this moment.
What surprised me was that the mystery that I thought was a false alarm was not over yet. The situation may be more serious than we imagined. Otherwise, why would someone be in a hurry and ask Grandpa An to help exorcise the ghost in the middle of the night
The most unacceptable thing for me is that these two things actually collided!
This is really troublesome.
I cleaned up as soon as possible, took some cash, and prepared to go out with An Ning with my bag.
"Grandpa and the others just went out to run errands. I can't add to their troubles. If they get distracted by my cousin's affairs and have an accident while exorcising ghosts, I will never forgive myself in this life."
I can understand An Ning's intentions, so I didn't ask any more questions. The two bought some breakfast and prepared to take the bus to Xinquan Garden.
On the way, An Ning was still relentlessly calling An Yu and Situ Jing, but no matter who she called, the opposite was always a female notification that the phone was turned off.
When we arrived at Xinquan Garden, the property office staff were already at work.
"Sorry, two ladies, for the safety of the owners of our community, it is against the law to break into a private house without the owner's consent, and we are not qualified."
"But, you saw my cousin and the others yesterday, didn't you? It's such a thin and beautiful woman who came here with her husband to inquire about Room 402 in Building Nine. You must remember, probably I asked at dinner time yesterday."
The woman in work uniform smiled sheepishly: "I wasn't on duty yesterday, I don't know what happened yesterday, I'll take a look first."
While talking, she flipped through the notebook on the table, as if she had found something, and said, "It really is."
She looked carefully at some records in the remark, then looked up, looked at us and said, "I know something about it, but we really have no right to let you into that apartment, unless the police come and they have a search warrant , you can go in."
"My cousin, and my cousin's husband, I can't contact them after I came here yesterday, so please, let's go to apartment 402 to have a look!"
The receptionist seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, but it was more out of impatience. In the end, she was really annoyed by An Ning, and her tone was a little offended: "Your cousin and her husband have lost contact. You are looking for the police. Not us, even the person who was on duty yesterday, he has no right to let your cousin and cousin-in-law into room 402, so they must not be there."
An Ning became anxious, and began to speak without restraint, her voice was not only trembling, but also very excited!
"You must know what happened in the ninth building! There must be something wrong with room 402, otherwise why did the people on the third, fourth and fifth floors of that building move out?"
"Before they moved out, they must have complained to you..."
"Miss, please calm down."
I saw An Ning losing control of her emotions, grabbed her, and hurriedly said, "Is it useful for you to be excited?"
Regardless of my obstruction, An Ning continued: "Haven't you ever thought about it, is there a ghost in that apartment? Otherwise, how could a group of neighbors be sickened strangely!"
"peaceful!"
I was frightened by her appearance, so I hurriedly stopped her running wild and let her sit on a chair to calm down.
When the receptionist heard what she said, his original impatience disappeared, and he suddenly laughed twice. This laughter not only had a hint of ridicule, but was even more absurd.
"According to what you said, Miss An, your cousin and cousin-in-law are currently in Room 402, Building Nine, and it's because there are ghosts there, so you can't get through to them, right?"
An Ning was about to answer confidently, when the receptionist's face turned serious and her tone was serious: "If you have any dissatisfaction with our community, you can make suggestions, but we don't approve of such words, if you are here to make trouble , then please get out of here!"
I hurriedly smoothed things over. I saw An Ning as if she was about to expose her family background, so I stopped her and said to the receptionist, "What we said is also based on evidence."
"What is the basis? There is a ghost in room 402, and the ghost has captured Miss An's relatives? Do you think you are acting?"
"I… "
"Stop making trouble. If there is nothing wrong, you can leave. If someone is really missing, go to the police, you know?"
The lady receptionist is also a very nice person. If it were someone else, she would say such a thing and kick us out.
Many people don't know that ghosts really exist in the world.
But now is not the time to continue entangled with her, I dragged An Ning away and apologized to the receptionist sitting inside.
"Don't pull me..."
"I know you are very anxious, but if you are like this, people are not willing to cooperate with you. In fact, if our attitude was a little better just now, maybe we can get some useful information."
The string in my heart couldn't help but tense, and it was false to say that I was not nervous. The uneasiness I had before made me frown in disgust.
Why does this happen every time.
In fact, since I returned to the dormitory yesterday and heard what An Ning said, I probably have the answer in my heart, but I still comfort her, let her rest, and stop thinking about it.
It's not that I don't want to go to them, but that I subconsciously want to avoid this fact.
That's why I'm just looking for the best, hoping they're safe and just spending their married life somewhere.
Isn't this a matter of self-deception
We are standing downstairs of the property building at the moment. From time to time, people will walk in with documents or briefcases, and there are also some aunts and aunts who look like residents, who are still yelling in local dialect. know what to say.
He looked very angry, and pushed and shoved the person who was talking to him.
Next, what should we do
What the receptionist lady said is actually completely correct. If you lose contact, you should go to the police instead of coming to the property to make trouble.
However, she didn't know the reason we came here was because there were ghosts in 402, after An Yu and Situ Jing entered, they encountered danger.
Their mobile phones went from being unanswered to being turned off, which was definitely not artificial, but turned off automatically when the phone ran out of power.
In other words, they must have encountered an accident!
This accident is not like a man-made kidnapping or abduction, but other reasons.
The reason I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it.
Suddenly, I thought of the only family living on the third, fourth, and fifth floors of Jiudong, and I seemed to have a plan in my heart.
"An Ning, do you still remember what the neighbor aunt said? There is still an old woman with bad legs living on the third floor of Building Nine. Why don't we visit her, maybe we can learn something useful from him. "
An Ning's temper was led by this incident, and she was in a very bad mood at first sight.
"I'm going to save An Yu and the others."
I lost my temper due to her stubborn temper, and replied: "Save, of course we have to save, but we have to find out the specific situation. You can't use brute force to break into 402, right? Go and find out the matter first, the receptionist The staff is right, without the permission of the owner, An Yu and the others can’t actually get into room 402, if they managed to get in, maybe it’s not through the property, but by other means.”
For some reason, his train of thought suddenly became clear.
"If you think about it, they may have encountered a nail in the property like us. In this case, they will definitely find other ways to investigate this matter. The second place to go is either the colleague of the neighbor's aunt's husband. Either that, or the widowed old man on the third floor of Building Nine, are you right?"
After hearing what I said, An Ning finally raised her head and looked at me excitedly.
"Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!"
An Ning was like a rabbit. He took my hand and ran towards the building. The cloudy weather was getting a bit cold. Looking at the weather, it looked like it was going to rain. Then I thought, I was going out When I was there, I didn't bring an umbrella because I was walking in a hurry.
Of course, An Ning didn't bring her either.
Maybe when we go back to school, we're going to get wet.
I lowered my head, feeling that everything is really unfavorable today, I am so unlucky!
