This is in line with the old man's investigation. Looking at the list printed out in my hand, I smiled bitterly. If the source of the 'shoe-to-bed' curse is this small town, then it is not known who has died in these names, and how many are still alive.

Tomorrow, let's visit Qiao's house first and see if we can find some clues. Then I went to ask the girls one by one. I rubbed my temples with my tired hands, looked at the shoes on my feet and was stunned for a while, and then went into the bathroom to wash up briefly. The changed shoes and hotel slippers are all put into the shoe cabinet, and out of sight is clean.

The light in the hallway of the room was deliberately turned on, and I stepped on my socks, carried the white quilt to the sofa, and lay down. Alas, I really have a psychological shadow on the bed and shoes, if I don't deal with this matter as soon as possible, I guess I won't dare to sleep in bed for the rest of my life, and I won't dare to bring any shoes into the bedroom!

Woken up early the next morning by sounds outside the house, I opened the curtains and looked out to see the noise of the school lawnmower opposite. Fortunately, I slept relatively peacefully all night. I washed my face and rinsed my mouth, looked at me who was a little tired in the mirror, and smiled helplessly.

The Qiao family's residence is very high-profile, and almost everyone in the town knows about it. Not far from the county center, more than ten acres of land are enclosed with a high wall, and only the top of a red circular building can be seen from the outside, with a minaret. Qiao Yu's funeral has been held since yesterday, and most of today's friends except relatives come to pay their respects. So the gates under the walls were wide open, and the constant stream of strangers only needed to board a plane a little to get in.

I followed the flow of people into the compound. The status of the landowner of the Qiao family is vividly revealed by the buildings in the walls. The Chinese-style pavilions and pavilions are accompanied by several European-style buildings, which are nondescript and very incongruous. I really admire the ability of the planning designer that his family found.

A mourning platform has been erected outside the main building, and Qiao Yu's black-and-white photo is enlarged and placed in the center. Wreaths and so on stretched from the outside of the altar to the outer wall, and it seems that there are many people who want to make friends with his family through this incident. I took a few sticks of incense wax and some paper money from the side, and went to her portrait to burn it. Lit the incense wax and inserted it in the huge incense burner, and then looked at Qiao Yu's photo for a while.

"Are you Xiaoyu's friend? It looks like the face is unfamiliar. The middle-aged woman in a black mourning dress on the side saw me in a daze, and asked after being slightly stunned.

"I'm her alumnus." I responded politely, this woman vaguely has the appearance of Qiao Yu, and it should be her mother.

Sure enough, Qiao's mother sighed: "My daughter has few friends. After she died, none of the people in the class came. Even a few of her friends who have played since childhood have avoided it. It's really as thin as paper! ”

I didn't respond, I just secretly slandered in my heart, the Qiao family's reputation seems to be unusually bad, and adults are good friends with you because of money. Although there are snobbish among the students, they are more likely to do things as they please. Qiao Yu estimates that he is not very good in school, so it's strange that his classmates will come!

Qiao's mother was entangled for a while, and suddenly grabbed me very enthusiastically: "Since you're here, come in and sit down." It is rare to see Xiaoyu's peers, and if she has classmates to accompany her more, Xiaoyu will be very happy even if she becomes a ghost. ”

"......" I don't know how to complain anymore. What does it mean to be a ghost and be happy, sure enough, there is a daughter and a mother. Before Qiao Yu died, he hated to say that he would not let me go if he became a ghost, and it has caused me to palpitate until now.

There wasn't much expression on my face, and I didn't refuse her invitation, so I pretended to ask casually, "Can you let me go to Qiao Yu's bedroom to have a look?" ”

Qiao's mother was surprised for a moment, and finally nodded: "Xiaoyu didn't like others to enter her room when she was alive, but no one is there, so it doesn't matter." ”

She led me around the huge building, stopping at a door a few minutes later.

"This is her room, you feel free. I still have someone to greet me, so I won't accompany me much. After Qiao's mother opened the door, she reluctantly glanced inside the door, and then slowly left.

I walked into the room and glanced around the room in some surprise. Qiao Yu's bedroom is not feminine, and the walls are painted in cool colors. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, but because of the color, the soft carpet did not look warm at all.

This room, which is at least 50 square meters, is very empty, and although the ornaments are exquisite, there is no trace of human habitation. It even made me feel cold and depressed, obviously in the room, but it was like walking on an empty street full of plane leaves in late autumn, and it was very lonely.

This Qiao Yu's taste is really unique enough, is her heart as lonely as the layout of the bedroom? The man is dead, and I don't know. In a prominent position on the desk, a group photo is placed. Six inches in size, a total of nine girls stood side by side in the group photo. Looking at the background, it should be in the courtyard of Qiao's house. Standing in the middle was Qiao Yu, who was wearing a high school uniform and smiling fakely.

I pulled out my phone and took a picture of the photo, then went on to look for something more useful. In fact, what I care about most is Qiao Yu's shoes and bed.

Her bed was large and soft and comfortable. Right in the center of the room, there is a 50-inch LCD flat-screen TV opposite. I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so I moved my eyes to the shoe cabinet next to the door. The shoe cabinet in Qiao Yu's room is very large, enough to hold hundreds of pairs of shoes.

But when I opened the door, it was empty, and there was nothing. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned. There is still the smell of shoes and traces of them in the shoe cabinet. Judging from the traces, the shoes in the shoe cabinet were still full not long ago.

"Before my sister went to Germany, she went crazy and threw away all her shoes." Suddenly, a voice came out and answered my question.

I turned my head and saw a man who was slightly older than me. He was about twenty-six years old, very thin, and looked like he was overly drunk. Before I could speak, he looked at me and wondered, "Why are you in my sister's bedroom?" Strange, your face seems familiar to me, as if I've seen you somewhere? ”

He spoke quickly, and soon remembered something, and his face suddenly changed: "Damn, you are that man!" ”

After saying this sentence that made me completely confused, he ran away, shouting as he ran: "Dad, Mom, the man who was holding the picture before my sister died appeared, and it turned out to be in our house!" ”

I finally reacted, and hurriedly ran out of the house after him, blended into the crowd, and slipped out of Qiao's house.
