7. Chapter 7 Chen Bo is a ghost

When we arrived at the entrance of the community, there were already people outside the door, and it seemed that they were all residents of Zizhulin Community.

I looked back at the security room and found that Jiang Bo from the security room was not there. I didn't go to look for him deliberately, but found people to gather around him.

Several old men were whispering something. I thought about it for a while and took out a cigarette from my pocket. I walked forward with a pretentious smile, dispersed the cigarette to the old men, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, what's wrong? So many policemen have come."

"The young man is not from our community?" An old man smoked the cigarette I gave me and looked at me slantedly.

I smiled and said, "Oh, I'm passing by. Seeing that something happened here, I'll ask."

"The police are here, what else can happen? It's dead." An old man waved his hand and said.

I felt nervous and asked while smoking, "Why did people die so much? The police have all made a fuss."

"I heard that this doesn't seem to be killed by someone, but he died on his own, but his children are not around, so the police came." The old man continued to tell me.

"I just said why didn't Lao Chen come out these days? I didn't expect that I would die in the house. When I found out, my body smelled. I should have died two days ago." Another old man sighed and shook his head.

Another old man frowned and asked, "Who is the one who died? Old Chen?"

Old Chen, I clearly remember that the old man who received the express delivery was the surname Chen, and he also belonged to this 44th building.

"It's not that. I just got carried out. I heard from the police that it was due to myocardial infarction." The old man shook his head and said, "It's also pitiful to Old Chen. Not only did my son die in another place, but he didn't have a wife by his side. Now, he's gone..."

The more I heard it, the more shocked I felt. I shivered my lips and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, is the old Chen you mentioned living in 401? It's called Chen Shengyuan?"

"That's not the case. We used to play chess together every day. Some time ago, I heard news that Old Chen's son was buried alive while mining in western Sichuan, and his body was not dug out. Since then, Old Chen has never come out, which is pitiful. Who knew that in a few days, the person died in the house. I heard from the police that he had been dead for two or three days and the body was smelly. If it weren't for the smell of his neighbors, he would probably have not been discovered yet!"

The cigarette in my hand fell directly to the ground, looking disbelief.

Old Chen, who died three days ago, is... Uncle Chen I met yesterday!

He died three days ago!

If I died three days ago, then...who did I meet yesterday?

"What's wrong with it? Do you know Lao Chen?" Seeing my expression, Lao Hu mistakenly thought that Uncle Chen and I knew each other and looked at me in surprise.

I waved my hand quickly and said, "I don't know each other. I just saw it once a while ago. I said a few words, but I didn't expect that the person would just leave like this..."

"Hey, it's not easy now. For us, the group of immortals, maybe when will we live? It's just a day to live." Old Hu shook his head powerlessly.

I slowly took two steps back, and suddenly I was afraid that a few of these people would be like Uncle Chen. They had died a few days ago, but now they are coming out again...

I didn't continue to stay, so I turned around and left.

My mind was always the scene where Uncle Chen asked me to send express delivery, and my heart was like waves.

When I walked to the entrance of Zizhulin Community, a group of medical staff wearing masks happened to come out of the community, and they were carrying stretchers. The stretcher was covered with a layer of white cloth, and it should be the dead Uncle Chen.

When I passed by me, somehow, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the white cloth covering the body on the stretcher was blown away, and Chen Bo's cheeks were exposed in front of me without any concealment.

Those resentful and unwilling eyes made me stunned in place, and the stench even hit me.

I stood a little close and disturbed the police work. A detective came over and said to me, "Friend, there is nothing good about dead people, hurry up and go to work."

I nodded dullly, and as soon as I was about to leave, I suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Brother, how long has this person been dead? Why is it so smelly?"

"Oh, the forensic identification said that it will be three days since I died. Okay, let's go quickly." The policeman said casually, and waved his hand to let me leave.

I got the exact answer and didn't ask anything more, and I quit the crowd.

If something like this happens, I am now in a numb state.

Uncle Chen died three or four days ago. Why did he appear in front of me yesterday after he died?

What's even more incredible is that I didn't notice it yesterday and I was talking and laughing with him.

I had forgotten the real purpose of coming here. I walked a while ago and suddenly someone put a hand on my shoulder.

I looked back and found that it was Jiang Bo, the security guard of Zizhulin Community.

The moment I saw Jiang Bo, I felt like I had caught a life-saving straw. I don’t know what I can do now, and I don’t know what to do. The repeated strange events have hit my mind.

I found Jiang Bo and asked him about the previous courier, and I might still see a turning point.

A vicissitudes of smile appeared on Jiang Bo's face, and the hand that was placed on my shoulder slowly lowered.

I didn't care so much, and immediately said: Uncle Jiang, I have something to ask you for.

"I know you're looking for me." Jiang Bo nodded.

Before I could ask questions, Jiang Bo said to me: This is not a place to talk, go back to the security room with me.

After saying that, Uncle Jiang turned around and walked towards the security room. I hesitated for a moment, gritted my teeth and followed Uncle Jiang.

Uncle Chen's body was transported away by the police, and the crowd dispersed. In front of Zizhulin Community, he returned to his previous desertification.

Uncle Jiang walked in front, maybe because of his age. Uncle Jiang walked a little slow. Although I was anxious, I didn't say much, so I deliberately slowed down and followed behind Uncle Jiang.

Behind leaving the purple bamboo forest before six o'clock, there must be some unknown secret hidden.

When I entered the security room, Jiang Bo turned around and closed the security room door, and asked me to sit there casually.

I took a look and found that there was only one chair in the room. Finally, I had to sit helplessly next to Jiang Bo's bed. Jiang Bo slowly poured a cup of tea and handed it to me, then turned around and sat back on the rocking chair, shaking and looking at me.

At the end, Jiang Bo suddenly laughed out loud: "Young man is not bad, not scared yet."

I felt nervous when I heard this. Uncle Jiang obviously knew something, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Brother Jiang, Uncle Chen in the community is dead, but..."

At the end of the conversation, I was a little hard to say because this matter was really nonsense and no one would believe it if they told it to them.

Those who died in three days asked me to send a courier yesterday.

Who believes this?

"But you saw him yesterday, and he still wants to send you a courier." Uncle Jiang looked at me and said carelessly.

My heart trembled suddenly after Jiang Bo's words, and then I asked carefully: "You... do you know everything?"

"I know what you know, and I know what you don't know." Jiang Bo shook his chair and said tepidly.

Looking at the calm and composed Jiang Bo, I felt more certain that he was not an ordinary person. At least he knew something that I didn’t know. Maybe there was a solution to my affairs.

Thinking of this, I became even more anxious and asked: "What's going on with Uncle Chen? The police said that Uncle Chen was dead three days ago. Since Uncle Chen died of myocardial infarction three days ago, then I...who was the person I met yesterday?"

"You met Uncle Chen yesterday, but I'll correct me. What you met is not a person." Uncle Jiang looked at me and said calmly.

I was stunned for a moment, widened my eyes and said, "What I met is not a person, that is..."

"That's right, what you're meeting is a ghost." Jiang Bo said without hesitation.

After hearing Jiang Bo's words, I was completely stunned. I didn't think that Uncle Chen was a ghost before, even though the RMB he gave me yesterday turned into a ghost currency. It was not until I was told that Uncle Chen was dead three days ago that I suddenly realized.

But I never dared to be sure of all this, because I knew that if I believed it, I was afraid that all my previous cognition would be subverted again.

But now Jiang Bo told me frankly that the Uncle Chen I met yesterday was a ghost, not a human.

In fact, only this explanation can perfectly explain the strange things I encountered.

The pain caused by the hot water scattered on my skin brought me back to my senses, and I found my hands trembling a little.

I quickly put down my cup, shook my hand, then took out a cigarette from my pocket and put it on the corner of my mouth and lit it.

After pondering for a long time, I spoke to Jiang Bo about what I encountered last night and this morning.

"Since the Uncle Chen I met yesterday was a ghost, what did Uncle Chen do for me? He...did he want to harm me?" At the end of my speech, my hand shook slightly, and the cigarette held by my two fingers almost fell to the ground.

After hearing so much from me, Jiang Bo also stood up solemnly, sat up straight and frowned and said, "It shouldn't be that he wanted to harm you. If he harmed you, how could you sit here safely now?"

"What is Uncle Chen going to do?" I was smoking, a little confused.

Jiang Bo thought for a while and suddenly said to me: "Didn't he ask you to send a courier? Maybe he became a ghost and asked you to find a courier. Or maybe he had no wish to stay in the world after he died."

After being told by Jiang Bo, I suddenly had some thoughts in my mind.

The police said that Uncle Chen died three days ago, and I had not become a courier in Zizhu Forest three days ago. If Uncle Chen really wanted to send the express delivery, he would not be able to find anyone to send it, so he had a last wish and stayed in Zizhu Forest. My appearance happened to give Uncle Chen the opportunity to fulfill his last wish, so he found me.

And his last wish is probably to send the express delivery out!

If this is the case, then the subsequent events will be a bit natural.

Because I received the ghost coins, I was a little scared and threw the package directly. As a result, Uncle Chen's last wish could not be resolved. So I found me in the middle of the night and then placed the package in front of my house.

I told Jiang Bo what I thought. Jiang Bo nodded in agreement and said, "The reason why Lao Chen has been refusing to leave is probably related to the express delivery. Just send the express delivery to him. Anyway, it's not a big deal."

This is also the only thing I can do so far, so I didn't hesitate and nodded and said ok.

But how do I deliver this express? Could it be that I will deliver it to the underworld?

I looked at Jiang Bo and thought for a while and asked, "Brother Jiang, I have something to ask you today."

"If you have any trouble, just say it. Don't beat around the bush." ​​Jiang Bo waved his hand and said politely.

I hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted my teeth and said, "Why do I have to leave this community before six o'clock?" ########
