Chapter 16 Please help me call the police
The building is not in the school. When the few people walked over, it was completely dark.
It was a star hotel. Because it was adjacent to the school, the environment was quite quiet.
"The fall should be here." Ming Zhuo stood at the intersection. This was a small road behind the hotel. It was the place where the hotel loaded and unloaded goods, and it was also the hotel's garbage disposal point.
Because this also led to the back door of a certain community, a wide green belt was planned to separate the two sides.
In the evening, residents of the community who returned home passed by from time to time, and the atmosphere of life was rich.
Li Wenhe looked around calmly. The pedestrians passing by looked normal. No one really fell from the building here.
Pei Di: "...So you really encountered a ghost?"
He touched the goose bumps on his arm and looked at Li Wenhe with sympathy.
Li Wenhe said lightly: "Okay, let's go ask if there has been a fall from a building here before."
Encountered a ghost? He didn't rule it out.
Ming Zhuo stopped a passing lady and asked with a smile: "Auntie wants to ask you something. Has anything happened here recently?"
The lady obviously knew a lot of gossip in the community, "That depends on what you ask."
Ming Zhuo said bluntly: "Has there been any jumping or falling deaths around here?"
The lady: "..."
This was completely beyond her expected range.
"No, no, how is it possible." The lady was so panicked that she waved her hands repeatedly.
"Has there been a murder this year? A young girl was killed."
"Really not!" The aunt couldn't help but ask, "Student, why are you asking this?" It gave her goosebumps all over her body.
Mingzhuo smiled, "It's okay, aunt, you go home early."
The aunt: "...Don't scare me."
She didn't dare to stay here. This place is not even the official back door of the community, but just a small side door.
Many people like to take shortcuts, so they choose to go this way.
Now it seems that there are few street lights here, the light is dim, and it is inexplicably eerie and scary.
Li Wenhe walked over and shook his head at Mingzhuo. Nothing strange happened here.
Ming Zhuo sighed: "Ghosts don't jump off buildings for no reason. This may be related to a murder case... a murder case that hasn't happened yet."
Things are serious. She wanted to go home early to have dinner with her family, but now she might not be able to leave so quickly.
-
The hotel manager was very angry. Their hotel was running well, but a high school student came and said that a murder case had happened.
Pei Di: "I'm just asking..."
"It's not okay to ask. How can you ask about such things? You are deliberately looking for bad luck!" The manager was so angry that his face turned green.
When Ming Zhuo and Li Wenhe came in, they saw this scene and tacitly didn't say anything.
Pei Di glanced at the several security guards who surrounded them and wondered why this person was so difficult to communicate with.
"I'm doing this for the good of your hotel." He said seriously, "I've seen a lot of news. In those murders, the bodies are usually hidden in the hotel elevator shaft or water tower. By the time you find them, they may have drunk corpse water for several days."
He is very experienced in this. Elevator shafts and water towers are classic places for hotels to hide bodies.
The manager stared: "..."
What are you talking about, you red-haired guy?
Ming Zhuo walked over and said, "Okay, Pei Di, let's not meddle in other people's business. It's just a haunted house on the top floor. It doesn't affect the guest rooms. I think the hotel shouldn't care."
Seeing that the three people really left, the manager immediately changed his mind.
"Stop! Even though you're talking nonsense, I'll still take you upstairs to have a look."
There has indeed been some problems in the hotel recently... Occasionally, some guests have reported that their children saw someone standing on the rooftop.
He always thought that the children were naughty and talking nonsense, or that someone was deliberately playing a prank, but recently several children have said so...
Could it be a ghost? The manager thought of Pei Di's words and suddenly felt bad.
He had also read the news and quickly had bad associations.
How could he feel at ease without finding someone to take a look?
The group went up to the rooftop, and the manager took a few security guards and went straight to the hotel's water tower.
Pei Di stared nervously at the three standing water towers, "Will the female ghost climb out of the water tower?"
Ming Zhuo: "No, there is no Yin energy in the water tower."
She walked to the side, estimated the direction of the school, and stopped somewhere.
There is residual Yin energy in this place, but it is very faint. When people walk over, the Yang energy will dissipate it.
Li Wenhe looked around, his lips tightened, "The woman I saw was standing here, and then she jumped off the building."
He saw Ming Zhuo open his schoolbag again to perform on-site talisman drawing, and hesitated.
"Do you want to summon that female ghost?" Li Wenhe said, "But for summoning, don't you need relevant information about the other party, such as name and date of birth?"
This is what his uncle told him. His uncle said that otherwise there are so many ghosts, how can we accurately screen them?
Ming Zhuo sighed: "That's why it's troublesome. Okay, help me light the candles quickly."
The dim candlelight lit up, Ming Zhuo held the freshly baked summoning talisman between his fingers, turned around and asked, "Do you still remember what the female ghost looks like?"
"She was wearing a classic Chanel-style jacket from A, a black printed long skirt, and long hair..." Li Wenhe said while recalling.
Ming Zhuo nodded, lit the talisman paper, and chanted a spell.
The movement here attracted the manager to look around frequently, wondering what these two people were doing.
The manager looked at Pei Di
and said, "Are you casting a spell?" When their hotel opened, they invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, singing and dancing.
Could these high school students be scammers? They looked unreliable!
About ten minutes later, the candlelight suddenly flickered, and a pair of feet suddenly appeared on the ground where the candlelight was shining!
Li Wenhe looked at the gradually emerging female ghost, wearing a classic Chanel-style jacket from House A and a black printed long skirt. It was the person he saw!
Ming Zhuo asked, "Have you suffered any injustice? Who killed you?"
The expression on the ghost's face was weird at first, then gradually became painful and twisted, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down.
She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, and looked somewhere downstairs.
Then without warning, she suddenly fell down!
The manager rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe it, he seemed to have vaguely seen a woman's figure just now!
That woman really jumped off the building!
He was about to collapse, how could this happen, there was clearly no falling incident in their hotel!
The three security guards were still standing on the ladder looking into the water tower, not noticing the movement here.
Mingzhuo put away the candles and said calmly, "I know what happened. Let everyone over there come down. It has nothing to do with the hotel."
The manager came over and heard this, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"This classmate... no, master! You are really observant. There has really never been a murder in our hotel!" The manager was so excited that he almost cried, and he unconsciously used a respectful title for Mingzhuo.
Mingzhuo smiled and said, "Please help call the police and say that a body was found next to the hotel."
