Chapter 15: The Dead Man's Reception
"Mr. He, you give me your manager's mobile phone number, and I will call him and explain this matter to him."
Xia Qi actually thought very simply, that is, He Chong's manager didn't let him go on a business trip early and didn't let him go on a business trip late, why did he let him go at this juncture?
There's obviously a lot going on here.
"You guys talk to my manager? This ......"
"Is Mr. He afraid that our police won't understand?" Xia Qi's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Of course not." He Chong hurriedly shook his head and explained:
"I'm mainly afraid that our manager will misunderstand and think that I have committed something and have been caught by the police."
"Don't worry about this, we will say that you are a witness and need you to come forward to identify it."
Xia Qi casually made up a seemingly reasonable reason, He Chong didn't say anything more this time, and happily told Xia Qi their manager's mobile phone number.
After getting Manager He Chong's mobile phone number, Xia Qi gave Shen Ruotong and Zhao Anguo a look, and he stood up from the sofa:
"I'll go out for a while."
After speaking, without waiting for He Chong Wang Qianhua to say anything, he walked out of the house quickly.
Coming to the corridor, Xia Qi's gaze subconsciously fell on the whitewashed snow-white wall above, but he still didn't see the staircase that Zhao Anguo said last night.
He found Manager He Chong's phone number from the address book, and then called the other party:
"Hey, hello, is it He Chong's manager?"
"Well, you're?"
“……”
3 minutes later, when Xia Qi returned to the house, Shen Ruotong was asking He Chong and Wang Qianhua if they had encountered anything weird recently.
"Officer Shen, you already asked this question the last time you came. The two of us lived a regular life, and nothing strange happened. ”
When Wang Qianhua said this, she didn't know what she remembered, so she asked uncertainly:
"What do you mean by weirdness?"
"Paranormal events, such as hauntings, or seeing things that shouldn't be there."
Shen Ruotong finished speaking with a calm face. I heard Zhao Anguo next to him pointing above and adding:
"For example, the stairs that suddenly appeared."
"The staircase that suddenly appeared?"
Wang Qianhua and He Chong looked at each other after hearing this, obviously not understanding the analogy made by Zhao Anguo.
"I'm just asking you if you've seen a staircase leading to the top outside the door in the past two days."
Zhao Anguo thought about it and repeated what he wanted to express.
"I haven't seen a staircase, and our family lives on the top floor, which is already the highest floor."
After He Chong understood what Zhao Anguo meant, he said without thinking.
However, Wang Qianhua seemed to suddenly remember something, and said a little vaguely:
"Speaking of the top floor, I suddenly remembered that in the middle of the night last year, there was indeed that kind of running and jumping sound coming down from above. It's noisy. ”
"Running and jumping?"
"I'm not sure if it's the sound of running and jumping. Anyway, the "knock knock" is very noisy. ”
Wang Qianhua said very definitely this time.
"Why didn't I hear any noisy running and jumping." He Chong glared at Wang Qianhua inexplicably.
"You slept like a dead pig, I slapped you and you didn't wake up, where do you know where to go."
"You must have heard it wrong, our family lives on the top floor, and it is the roof of the building, who will run and jump on the roof in the middle of the night? Don't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm talking nonsense, I clearly heard it. And it's loud! ”
"I ......"
"I've already called your manager and said you had a good job in reporting the case. The Dongyu District Police Station will give a commendation at that time, provided that we follow our instructions and identify as witnesses in the next two days. ”
Xia Qi opened his mouth a little suddenly, interrupting the quarrel between He Chong and Wang Qianhua.
"Oh, thank you, Officer Xia."
was so close to Xia Qi's words, He Chong no longer quarreled with Wang Qianhua. Instead, he thanked him with a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, then let's do it first, you stay at home for the next two days, and we will contact you in time if there is any situation."
After saying this, Xia Qi reminded Shen Ruotong and Zhao Anguo:
"We still have something to do. No more delay here, let's go back to the office first. ”
"Former ...... That one...... Shall we go back now? ”
Zhao Anguo was completely confused by Xia Qi, and he didn't know what Xia Qi did when he suddenly said to go.
However, he was still quite excited, and after thinking of the reason why Xia Qi must have asked him to do this, he snorted again and said:
"Oh yes, we haven't dealt with that last time yet, we really have to go back."
Shen Ruotong didn't say anything this time, she also got up from the sofa when she heard Xia Qi say to leave, and went out with Xia Qi with Zhao Anguo.
Coming out of Wang Qianhua's house, Zhao Anguo couldn't help but ask Xia Qi:
"Senior, what the hell is going on, why is this leaving?"
"Let's talk about it later."
Xia Qi did not answer Zhao Anguo immediately, but walked downstairs quickly.
The three of them walked out of the corridor with their feet in front of and behind their feet, and Xia Qi motioned for Zhao Anguo and Shen Ruotong to get into the car, and it wasn't until they got into the car that Xia Qi told them why they wanted to leave.
"I had already called He Chong's manager just now, and I heard a rather interesting answer."
"Interesting answer?"
"Well, He Chong's manager said that He Chong has not been back since he went on a business trip five days ago, let alone contacted him again."
"What? He Chong was already on a business trip five days ago? So what we just saw...... Isn't it ......?"
After Zhao Anguo heard this, his face suddenly turned pale with fright.
"More interesting is yet to come."
Speaking of this, Xia Qi's face also became more gloomy:
Wang Qianhua and He Chong, the two are basically from the same company, and they also met in the company and gradually developed into a couple. And among the people who went on a business trip five days ago, Wang Qianhua was also included.
However, as in He Chong's case, the company never contacted Wang Qianhua again.
What this says couldn't be clearer. ”
"So...... In this way, Wang Qianhua is actually a ghost! ”
Thinking that he had been chatting with a ghost for so long, Zhao Anguo felt that cold air was constantly bubbling out of his spine.
Zhao Anguo was convinced of Xia Qi's words, but Shen Ruotong raised her questions:
"How can you be sure that what their manager says is true? Besides, if they are really dead, why should they disguise themselves as living people to deceive us? It doesn't make sense at all. ”
"Yes, the current situation really doesn't make sense. But if you think about it carefully, Shen Ruotong and He Chong moved here six or seven days ago, and they were probably killed as soon as they moved in, as for why they still pretended to be living people and stayed here...... You ask me, I ask who goes?
You must know that they are ghosts, where will they follow the logic of humans! (To be continued......)
