This shocked the uncle in the restaurant. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, it's not true. The thing I want to calculate is related to this box of ghost money. I didn't put this thing there on my own initiative. I just found a bunch of ghost money in the box a few days ago. I don't know which unscrupulous person used paper money as RMB."
[Girls, don't be reserved: Are you blind people collecting money? ]
"No."
[Divorced with two kids: How is it possible that you can't tell the difference between ghost money and RMB? You're not blind. Boss, did one of your employees steal the money and then put some ghost money in it?]
"That's not that stupid, is it? If it's fake money, why not put ghost money here?"
The uncle at the restaurant waved his hand and said, "That's impossible. My hotel is almost fully covered by surveillance cameras. There are even two cameras facing the cash register. I checked it out and it's normal. There's nothing wrong. So this box of ghost money simply appeared out of thin air."
[Don't like bitter melon: That's strange, it's not the customer, nor the staff, then it's you, the boss.]
"Hey!"
The restaurant owner wanted to argue, but then he thought, if he was neither a customer nor a staff member, then he would be the only one left. However, he knew very well that it was not him who did it, so it could only be one of the two.
He looked at Ji Yu with some distress.
"Miss Ji, what I want to calculate is what's going on with this box of ghost money. It was clearly normal when I checked it before, but a few days ago, it turned into this horrible shape. It's really unlucky."
Ji Yu nodded: "It's indeed a bit unlucky, this pile of ghost money is..."
Before she finished speaking, a loud voice came from the uncle's side.
"I've automatically accepted your order..."
The uncle at the restaurant smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, this is really strange. I remember I was closed today, so why did they automatically accept my order? Really, this platform can't be more reliable nowadays."
He turned around, tore off the automatically printed order, and took a look.
"Why is it that place again? They always order takeout at this time, and it looks familiar to me. I turned them down today."
"Hey, don't refuse. This is it. Just make it and send it over."
The uncle at the restaurant slapped his thigh and said, "Miss Ji, is this the address that has been giving me ghost money to tease me?"
[You have good taste: What are you thinking? This is all electronic payment, why would you give me ghost money?]
"Yes, look at me, I'm so confused now that I didn't think about this for a moment, so Miss Ji, why don't you let me refuse?"
Ji Yu was about to speak when the phone at the front desk rang. A young man immediately ran over to answer the phone.
"Hey, this is a delicious restaurant. Who are you?"
"Oh, it's the same as yesterday, right? But our boss said we're closed today."
The restaurant owner thought about it and decided that if he made one or two, he would make one or two, so he didn't need to bother with the money. So he said to the young man, "We're not closing anymore."
The young man was a little confused, but he accepted whatever the boss said and agreed to what the person on the phone said.
The young man hung up the phone, walked to the boss, took the order handed to him, and took a look at it.
"No, boss."
"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss? Aren't you ashamed?"
The young man pointed to the address on the order.
"Nothing, I just thought it was a coincidence that this address is right across from the one I gave you on the phone earlier. It's just perfect, and it saves time."
"You've been ordering food over the phone?"
The uncle in the restaurant rolled his eyes, clapped his hands, and looked at Ji Yu: "Miss Ji, so it was actually the order on the phone that gave me the ghost money?"
"That can't be right, boss. I've always been the one delivering food to that family. I have two sharp eyes. When I received the money, it was definitely RMB. How could it be ghost money?"
Ji Yu looked at the two people arguing and said with a smile: "You two will know if you go over and deliver the food."
[Hahaha, it looks like they ordered by phone. I was wondering, who orders by phone these days? They all go through the platforms. They're probably trying to scam people with ghost money.]
【Food and drink for free. 】
The restaurant owner took the young man to deliver the food to the address on the order. It was pitch black outside. They arrived at an old residential area and the sound of mahjong playing could be heard downstairs.
The address was on the fourth floor. The young man climbed up in one breath without taking a breath, while the boss followed behind him panting, looking very weak.
"takeout."
The young man yelled, and the door on the left opened. A girl with loose hair opened it with an impatient look on her face.
“Where’s the takeaway?”
"Here, this is yours, and this is on the opposite side."
The young man simply divided it up. The girl took her takeaway and looked down at the other one in the young man's hand. She smiled sarcastically and said, "Oh, you even know how to order takeout. I admire you. I thought the person next door was lying on the mahjong table 24 hours a day, not eating, drinking or sleeping. You actually know how to eat. It's hilarious."
The girl rolled her eyes and didn't leave. She just stood at the door and watched the young man deliver the food.
The door on the right was only slightly open, and a slightly hoarse voice came from behind the door: "Put the things on the floor, the money is here."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the money handed out by the person behind the door.
[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: It's really RMB, not ghost money.]
[Maybe it's a social anxiety order. 】
The restaurant owner took the money with a puzzled look on his face and scratched the back of his head.
What's going on? Isn't it said that Ji Yu is very accurate? Is he going to fail with him?
"Go downstairs."
After Ji Yu reminded them, the two finally reacted and prepared to leave. The girl next door didn't see anything and left with her takeaway.
As the two of them came out of the unit door, Ji Yu spoke again: "Look down."
The two of them lowered their heads in tacit understanding and looked at the empty floor.
Ji Yu: ...
"What I mean is, take out the money you just paid and look down again."
The uncle in the restaurant took out the money from his pocket and spread it out. A few familiar paper money made the two men's eyes widen.
“This, this…”
"Okay, go upstairs and take a look now."
I ran to the fourth floor again, and the girl's takeaway was taken in, but the takeaway on the right was still outside, but it no longer had any fragrance, and the food was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Han Dong: This food is clearly a sign of ghosts eating it. Everyone in this room must be dead. There's no smell coming from it after so many days.]
Ji Yu: "Someone has blocked the smell. These ghosts still have paper money in their hands. It seems someone is burning it for them. They obviously know there is a dead person inside."
