Aoba Office

"I... I think she was angry, very angry. I was startled. She slapped the glass all of a sudden, and the whole glass shook."

"Mr. She, please follow our previous instructions and don't act on your own."

"Sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. She wasn't like that before."

"People change, and so do ghosts. Compared to people, ghosts change more and faster."

"... I see..."

"So, in addition to what I just said, have you noticed any new changes in Miss Hou?"

"No. She's still the same, similar to what I saw in the tea room, her clothes are still dirty, her body is still dirty. I think she might... How long will it take for the police to find out? Can we just wait now?"

"For now, that's it. We will notify you as soon as there is any new progress."

"You said before What about that? You said you wanted to contact her before, when will you do it? If you can contact her directly, you can do it soon..."

"She hasn't spoken to you, right?"

"Yes..."

"We will first investigate her family and friends. If she really has a grudge against you, if we contact her rashly, she may attack you, and then we will have to deal with her. You don't want to see that situation, right?"

"What do you mean by deal with..."

"You can think of it as killing her."

"..."

"If we can avoid contacting the ghosts themselves, we will choose not to contact them to complete the commission."

"I understand."

"Mr. She, please promise us not to act on your own again, okay?"

"...Okay, I understand."

On May 28, 2011, Hou Jianing's neighbor Cai Zhi was contacted. Audio file 07020110528.wav.

"Hello, Mr. Cai."

"Yes. You want to ask me about the woman next door?"

"Yes. Do you have any contact with Miss Hou?"

"I guess. When she moved in, we happened to meet, and I helped her and chatted for a while. After that, we would greet each other when we met in the building. Sometimes when there is a courier or something, we will help each other."

"Recently, the police should have come to inquire about Miss Hou. You may have known that Miss Hou disappeared around May 20th."

"Yes, I met the police. The police also questioned me for a long time. I really的不知道发生了什么。五月二十的时候，我在加班，晚上十点多回来，也没碰到她。后来几天我也碰到。不过，也不算奇怪吧。我也没注意。警察来了我才知道她失踪了。”

“您有注意到那几天，侯小姐有什么异常表现吗？”

“没有吧。那之前我们也有碰到过几次，她都和平时一样。”

“她有提起什么特别的事情吗？”

“特别的……哦，对了，她好像买了很多东西。我在那之前的周末，应该是周末吧，听到好几次快递的敲门声。我出门吃饭的时候，还碰到她收快递，随口问了一句，她说是衣服啊化妆品之类的。”

“她有说过为什么要买那些东西吗？”

“这个，很奇怪吗？女人买这些很正常吧？警察也这么问，这其实没什么吧？”

“侯小姐之前有集中买过很多东西吗？”

“应该没有……但我觉得这个很正常啊。”

“她没有提到其他事情吗？”

“没有。”

“有没有可能是在最近交了男朋友？”

“这个……你这么一说，是有些...But I don't know. I haven't heard her say it, nor have I seen any man come to her house."

"Do you have any other clues to provide us?"

"That's all. You reporters can actually ask the police for information, right? I really don't know much here."

"We hope to have a more direct source of information."

"Oh...by the way, you can ask the property management here. The security guards here are on duty 24 hours a day, they should know more."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Cai."

On May 31, 2011, Hou Jianing's colleague Xu Mengjie was contacted. Audio file 07020110531.wav.

"Hello, Ms. Xu."

"..."

"We want to ask you something about Ms. Hou."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Ms. Hou suddenly disappeared, and the money was transferred to a stranger's account. The police are also investigating this case..."

"The police are investigating, what else is there to ask?!"

"Ms. Xu, we found that on May 19, your social account forwarded a message, and in..."

"So what!"

"Ms. Xu, have you told the police about this?"

"..."

"Now, can we talk properly, Ms. Xu?"

"..."What do you want to ask?"

"Does Ms. Hou know about the things on the Internet?"

"..."Yes."

"What is her reaction?"

"..."

"Ms. Xu?"

"She's unhappy, she's unhappy, okay? She's still angry. Others thought it was nothing and thought it was romantic, so she put on a straight face, as if everyone owed her money! She even told our leader . She would go to the boss for such a trivial matter..."

"You deleted the information afterwards and never logged in to the account again, right?"

"……right."

"What was Miss Hou's reaction afterwards?"

"She bought afternoon tea for everyone, so that if we met that man, we wouldn't say that she worked here. She also said hello to the security guard downstairs. I really can't stand it. People like her, she is like guarding against thieves Why should you be careful? That man is not a loser. He is good-looking and has a good job. What is she unhappy about? It’s so sweet! She’s even on a blind date! She wants to find someone to get married to, and someone just comes to her door!”

"So, Miss Hou doesn't have a boyfriend, and she was on a blind date during this period?"

"That's right. It was Sister Ma who introduced me. The guy's conditions are pretty good, and I don't know what he likes about her..."

"Did her blind date succeed?"

"Who knows! She seems to have a date. On May 20th, she had a dinner date with someone, and she even dressed up specially. Humph..."

"So, before Ms. Hou disappeared, the last person she saw was her blind date?"

"Maybe so. I don't know either."

"What about her resignation?"

"It was Sister Ma who sent it to the agent. She received her call, and it was strange. Sister Ma said that her tone was not right at that time, and she went to the man to ask. The man said that he was fine the day before, and she was fine. Call Hou Jianing. He called Sister Ma again and said he supported her resignation. I don’t know what they said.”

"Thank you for the clue."
