All Girlfriends Are Ghosts

In the sunset, the old man came out of the vegetable market with a long shadow behind him.

There was a kind smile on her face.

The plastic bag in my hand contains the vegetables I just bought.

Walking through the crowd, the old man quickly returned to his residence.

It is an old-fashioned small building with only five floors.

There is a long corridor on each floor, and the corridor is full of clutter from various households.

When the old man walked outside his home on the third floor, the child of the neighbor next door was sitting in the door doing homework.

The scent of cooking, floating from the next room, made people appetite.

The child's mother was sitting at the door knitting a sweater, staring at her son doing his homework by the way.

It is the father of the child who is cooking in the kitchen.

Seeing the old man come back, the child's mother smiled and said hello.

"Aunt Wang is back?"

She looked at the old man in front of her curiously, and said, "What about Sister Liu? I haven't seen her for several days."

The old man smiled kindly, "Something went wrong in her hometown, and she went back to the country. It may take a while to come back."

"That's it... The last time my child was lost, Sister Liu helped to retrieve it. I haven't had time to thank her."

The woman said, stood up and said, "Auntie, wait for me."

The woman quickly ran into the house, then took out a small box and handed it to the old man, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. This is a little bit from my husband and I. I would really like to thank Sister Liu last time, if it weren’t for her. Help, the little monkey in my family probably won't be able to find it."

The woman thanked her sincerely, and she would give the box of moon cakes to the elderly anyway.

But the old man was unwilling to accept it, "This mooncake is expensive...I can't accept it. You can just stay and eat as a family. Why are you so polite."

She declined for a long time, but still declined, and then she couldn't accept the mooncakes.

"Then I will thank you for my daughter-in-law," the old man said.

She and the woman stood at the door and chatted for a while, and finally separated.

The old man returned to the house with moon cakes and put the moon cakes on the coffee table.

She turned on the TV, listened to the news on the TV, and then went into the kitchen and started cooking.

Soon, the scent of the food floated along the window.

In the quiet room, only the sound from the TV kept ringing.

There is no debris on the coffee table with moon cakes.

In the living room, which was slightly dark due to poor lighting, the few portraits enshrined on the shrine were extremely eye-catching.

Those few portraits are the old man's husband, son, and grandson.

When she finished cooking the food, it was already dark.

After a separate serving of the insulated lunch box was taken out, the old man sat alone on the coffee table, watching the news on the TV and eating this late dinner.

The news of Jiujiang City is playing on the TV.

The old man was watching the news and eating while keeping his eyes on the screen.

When the news was over, she was almost finished.

Then he got up and packed his dishes.

Then the old man began to clean the room, cleaned the house once, first cleaned, and then mopped it again with a mop.

After finishing this, she wiped all the portraits on the shrine with a rag.

By this time, it was already more than nine o'clock.

The sky outside the window was pitch black.

In this small building, most of the residents also returned to their homes, and the streets nearby were quiet.

Even the few merchants who were pushing trolleys to sell nearby have all gone home.

In the old man's house, the lights and TV were quickly turned off, and it was plunged into quiet darkness.

Then the door was gently opened, and the old man carrying the lunch box quietly walked out.

Closing the door lightly, the old man left here.

This is the suburb of Jiujiang, which belongs to the kind of area that will be included in the shantytown renovation project sooner or later.

The streets are not clean and the appearances are not level.

The narrow roadways with potholes extend in all directions, and if local people who are not familiar with the road conditions come here, 100% will get lost.

The old man was walking alone in the dark, carrying an insulated lunch box.

She kept walking through those dark corners, occasionally speeding up her pace, because of the complicated terrain, even if someone followed her, she would have been thrown away long ago.

In this way, the old man finally left the area and entered the vicinity of a more remote and unfinished building.

This unfinished building was built by the lake, and the lake was thick and dirty, emitting a foul smell in the sultry summer.

Originally, the developer wanted to build a community around the lake, but the developer ran away halfway through the construction of the project. Instead, the failed greening of the lake was completely polluted due to waste from industrial buildings and no one took care of it.

A month ago, this was originally an unknown and remote building far from the crowd.

But a month ago, a big news broke out in this unfinished building.

Someone found a corpse in the completely abandoned underground parking lot of the ruined building. The chest of the corpse was hollowed out, the heart was missing, and the hands and feet were missing. Only the torso was left in the parking lot.

In addition, traces of patterns suspected to be sacrificed by cults were found at the scene.

The victim was a female college student who was about to graduate. She had a conflict with her family. She was taken away by her sister-in-law, who said she was helping her parents solve problems, but she was sacrificed by the cult.

When the police found the girl's sister-in-law after the incident, they found that the victim's sister-in-law had died in a tragic manner in a jar at home.

Therefore, the clues to the case are broken here.

So far, this case has not been solved yet.

This is a vicious murder case that shocked the whole country. At the time it happened, it had been spread across the country along with the developed internet self-media.

But now, a month later, the heat of this case has cooled down.

Except for the public security officers who are still fighting on the front line, most netizens have forgotten the existence of this case and focused on more interesting hot events.

Even this unfinished building, which was once blocked by police cars, has now returned to its former deserted appearance.

Even the cordon that was pulled up by the police had been completely destroyed in the wind and rain and the visits of nearby passers-by.

In the end, but the heat subsided completely, and even the brave young people nearby did not come to this place to try and explore, this place completely returned to its former desertedness.

The only one who would visit this place late at night seemed to be the only old man walking hurriedly carrying an insulated lunch box.

The dim moonlight dragged a long shadow behind her.

This shadow disappeared completely after the old man entered the dark underground garage.

But it doesn't give people the feeling of disappearing, but like melting into the darkness.

The sound of footsteps spread far in the darkness, announcing that someone had entered here.

The old man's hand holding the insulated lunch box trembled slightly.

She walked all the way to the depths of the underground garage, and after smelling the faint stench in the air, she whispered.

"It's me, I'm here..."

"One person, nothing follows."
