Chapter Eleven: Jing Yi
I sat in front of the computer. Although Erliang failed to catch the contractor, he wrote down the license plate number of the car. At this time, he had used some connections to find it. Of course, he could only do this by himself.
Yes, it is already illegal to use some information in the police station privately. Of course he can't do more. What's more, we don't know why those two people ran away when they saw us. We just listened to them.
The conversation aroused my curiosity, and I didn’t expect that I actually saw an old mansion in those photos.
Those photos were placed in front of the computer desk. Erliang couldn't find the energy to find out where the old house in these photos was, so he gave this task to me. I scanned a few and uploaded them to the Internet. Unfortunately, no one knew.
Many people mistakenly thought it was my family's old house. After all, the old house used to be located in the old city center, and many people had seen it. Of course, I knew it wasn't because there was no black room in the old house.
room.
The photo was placed across the table. The more I looked at it, the more it looked like a coffin. I had never seen those mysterious manuscripts in Wang Qiang’s house. If what was said in the letter were true, then what I saw was “a coffin.”
"Do these four words also indicate something? Do they mean that I will see such a photo? Why is this ancient house so similar to my old house?
I stared at the computer screen blankly, thinking about these questions in my mind. At this moment, my phone rang again, and it was a text message.
When I picked up the phone, my eyes immediately widened. It was that number again, and my hands were shaking a little, but I finally pressed the phone to read the text message.
"Come back and see me!"
It still had the same content, but the last punctuation changed from a period to an exclamation mark, and this exclamation mark seemed to carry a strange power. I seemed to be able to feel the alienated anger in the heart of the person who sent the text message.
I sent back a text message with trembling hands: "I've already come to see you. Are you grandma?"
Don't laugh at me, I really don't know how to face it. I thought to myself that if there is really a ghost, then this person must be my grandma. She is the only one who has never forgotten the old house. She was the most reluctant to leave it when she moved out.
.
Another text message came back quickly: "Come back and see me..."
This time it became an ellipsis again. I seemed to feel the helplessness and sadness in the heart of an old man who was about to leave. I turned back and asked, "Where is it?"
"Old house!"
The reply was still the same, but I had obviously been to the old house. My eyes caught a glimpse of the photo on the table. The black coffin looked particularly dazzling under the pale fluorescent lamp. Suddenly, my heart moved and I hurriedly sent a message.
Text message passed: "Where is the old house?"
My heart was beating violently, waiting for the other party's reply. Every second was so painful, but ten minutes had passed and there was no reply. I still didn't know where my old house was.
Erliang's call interrupted my meditation. I picked up the phone and Erliang panted and said, "I found it. Come here quickly. It's in the emergency room on the first floor of the Municipal People's Hospital. Hurry up."
I was so shocked that I didn't even bother to turn off the computer and rushed down the stairs to the People's Hospital.
Erliang was already standing at the door of the hospital waiting for me. When he saw me coming over, he grabbed me and ran to the emergency room. As he ran, he said: "They had a car accident. It happened that the traffic policeman on duty today was my friend. The first
Time told me."
Erliang and I walked to the door of the emergency room, and a doctor happened to come out. Erliang took out his police ID card. The doctor took one look at it, took off his mask and said: "The person sitting in the passenger seat has died after resuscitation failed. The other person has passed away."
The position is out of danger."
With the doctor's permission, Erliang and I walked into the emergency room. In the emergency room, the doctors were busy around one bed. The other bed was covered with a white cloth, and a medical staff was preparing to push the bed out.
Erliang stretched out his hand to stop the medical staff, gently lifted the white cloth, except for my grandma. This was the first time I saw a dead person, let alone someone who died in a traffic accident. I only took one look and rushed out to vomit.
I vomited so much that even bile came out. I felt someone patting me on the back, and then I heard Erliang say:
"I had the same reaction as you when I first saw the body."
I straightened up, took the mineral water from Erliang's hand, rinsed my mouth, wiped the stains from the corners of my mouth with a tissue, and asked, "Do you see anything?"
Erliang's face was ugly: "One has not woken up and cannot ask questions, and the other..." He frowned, as if he didn't know how to speak. After thinking for a while, he continued: "The other is dead.
It's hard to see, especially the expression on his face, it seems that what he felt before death was not pain, but fear."
"Fear? Of course you will be scared if you see yourself about to get into a car accident and hit something. Is this normal?" I replied.
"It's different." Erliang affirmed: "Usually people who are in car accidents die because of their injuries. This foreman died after being rescued in the hospital, so the expression on his face should be
It's pain, not fear."
"What's there to be afraid of?" I muttered. This is a question that has no answer, and maybe it's not an important question. We can only wait until the boss-like person wakes up and ask where those photos were taken.
Although it fell from the contractor, you may not be able to tell if you ask him, but it is always good as long as there is hope.
Erliang's face hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say, so I asked, "What's wrong?"
Erliang shook his head, thought for a while, then took a breath and said to me: "The expression on his face is exactly the same as Wang Qiang and Lao Chu."
According to what was said in the two letters, Wang Qiang and Lao Chu both saw extremely terrifying people before they died. One saw a woman with blood-red teeth, and the other saw a little girl with eyes falling out. If this contractor and
They were the same, so what did he see? We can only find out everything when the boss-like person wakes up.
Erliang and I went to the hospital to see the boss for several days in a row. As for the dead contractor, there was nothing on him to prove his identity, so it was still a mystery to us until five days later.
, the boss finally woke up.
This man is indeed a boss. Erliang has already found out everything about him through the driver's license and ID card he carries. This man is a real estate developer. The company has only been established for a few years and has only developed two properties.
There are projects, one in the south of the city and one in the north of the city. I am very familiar with the name of this development company because I once saw it in the place where Wang Qiang and Lao Chu lived.
Seeing the police card that Erliang took out, the boss was obviously relieved and said, "If I had known that you were not here to press for debt, I wouldn't have run away, and this wouldn't have happened."
Erliang took the photo he got from the contractor and asked, "Can you tell me where this place is?"
The boss glanced sideways at the photo in Erliang's hand. His face, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly became tense. He didn't know where he got the strength from, and with a loud cry, his whole body jumped up from the bed, and then he fell heavily.
fell down.
This sudden shout startled Erliang and I. The accompanying family members stepped forward to support his body and complained: "Why are you so excited? You are risking your life?"
Erliang and I didn't expect his reaction to be so big. After he calmed down, he said cautiously: "This answer is very important to us, so I hope you can tell us where this place is."
The boss leaned in as much as possible, as if Erliang and I were evil ghosts urging us to die, and would not answer our questions. The family members next to him began to chatter again, saying that we had disturbed the patient's rest, and Erliang and I looked at each other.
, sighed and had to give up.
Just when we turned to leave, we suddenly heard the boss's trembling voice from behind: "You saw it too, didn't you?"
Erliang and I turned around quickly and asked, "What did you see?"
The boss's face was extremely pale, and the look of fear in his eyes was getting heavier and heavier. He grabbed the quilt tightly with both hands, and said hoarsely: "That well!"
"What well?" Erliang and I were confused.
The boss had just woken up not long ago, and he was frightened after seeing the photo. After a while, he was already extremely tired and depressed. Erliang and I had no choice but to resign and leave the hospital. Before leaving, Erliang gave us a message.
The boss left a business card and said that if you need anything, you can contact him.
We didn't separate immediately. Erliang came to my place. The two of them sat there and didn't know what to say. After being silent for a long time, Erliang suddenly asked me: "Arui, what's the difference between dreams and ideals?"
I was surprised that Erliang would ask me such a question today, but I still answered: "Dreams are sometimes unrealistic, but ideals can at least be realized through hard work. This is probably the simplest difference."
Erliang asked: "Do you have any ideals?"
I nodded: "You know, my ideal is to write a book that many, many people will like to read."
Erliang asked again: "If you were asked to give up or even violate some of your principles for your own ideals, would you be willing?"
I thought of the disappointment on my parents’ faces when they saw me typing in front of the computer, and of my increasingly poor life. After pondering for a long time, I nodded: “I do!”
Erliang raised his head and looked at me. I felt that his eyes were a little scary, and he followed closely: "Even if this ideal is absurd?"
Erliang and I have known each other since we were young, and I have never seen him discuss such issues as ideals and life with me so seriously. I think maybe there have been too many inexplicable things recently that have affected his mood, so I put my hand on his shoulder.
He patted me down and said, "Ideals can only be realized if they can be realized. They are definitely not absurd. You have been too tired recently, so take a good rest."
Erliang's eyes looked at me, and I felt as if he had something to tell me. I looked at him with encouraging eyes. Erliang's lips moved. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Erliang answered the phone and said "hello". The room was very quiet. Erliang and I were so close that we heard a hoarse voice on the other side of the phone: "I want to tell you something. Come to the hospital."
It was the boss who called. Erliang hung up the phone and said, "Go to the hospital quickly." He didn't wait for me and went down the stairs first.
Looking at Erliang's back, I had a strange feeling in my heart again. I didn't know why he was so concerned about this matter. At first, I was looking for material for writing, but later it was because there was always something
Someone is urging me to do all this. Yes, I can't see this person, but I can feel it. But why is Erliang so keen on investigating this matter?
Erliang called me downstairs. I shook my head to stop myself from thinking about it. I turned around and closed the door. The moment I turned off the light, I once again felt someone in the room looking at me. I couldn't help but look towards the white wall.
