Aoba Office

When I heard Guo Yujie's words, I was still in a daze and had not yet woken up, so I subconsciously asked: "Who?"

"Uncle Wang." Guo Yujie's voice was filled with tears and a hint of trembling, "Wang Hui found Uncle Wang's body. He has... been dead for a long time..."

I woke up instantly and sat up from the bed, "What did you say?!"

"Lin Qi, come here quickly..." Guo Yujie said uneasily.

"Where are you? At Uncle Wang's house? I'm coming over now. Have you told anyone else about this?" I lifted the quilt, turned my phone on speaker, and hurriedly changed my clothes.

"No. Not yet." Guo Yujie replied in a low voice.

"You... tell Slim and the others. I'll be there soon!" I hung up the phone, washed up casually, and rushed out of the house.

When I rushed to Uncle Wang's house, many people had gathered there, including neighbors who lived in Gongnong Village No. 6, as well as Director Mao of the neighborhood committee. The police were also there, sealing off Uncle Wang's house. Everyone gathered around the door, looking terrified.

Wang Hui was completely lost and stood dumbly against the wall, being supported by Guo Yujie.

Chen Xiaoqiu also arrived, standing beside the two of them. When he saw me running upstairs in a hurry, he nodded to me, whispered something in Guo Yujie's ear, and then squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards me.

"What's going on?" I followed Chen Xiaoqiu to a deserted place downstairs.

"Wang Hongzhang is dead." Chen Xiaoqiu said.

"I know. Is it because...Aunt Wang?" I frowned.

I had originally guessed that Aunt Wang would be a huge stimulus to Uncle Wang, whether dead or alive. Living is naturally the best. Although Uncle Wang may be extremely happy and sad, as long as He Juan and Zheng Xinxin receive psychological counseling, Uncle Wang can withstand this surprise. If Aunt Wang died...if He Juan and Zheng Xinxin gave him a period of psychological treatment, he might be able to survive this blow smoothly. But everything happened so suddenly. I suddenly discovered the ghost of Aunt Wang. The ghost of Aunt Wang suddenly scared old man Li crazy and made him reveal the truth. The saddest thing was that Aunt Wang continued to "live without seeing anyone". , the state of "dead but not found" - her body can no longer be recovered.

I would not be surprised if Uncle Wang died suddenly and suddenly. What makes me feel wrong is the fear of those people, including Guo Yujie.

"Wang Hui discovered Wang Hongzhang's body this morning. She didn't recognize it as Wang Hongzhang's body at first." Chen Xiaoqiu did not answer my question, "The body was a rotting mummy. It had been dead for a long time."

Been dead for a long time.

The words exploded in my head.

"What do you mean?" My voice was trembling like Guo Yujie's.

"The police station sent a forensic doctor and they are still conducting an autopsy. It was initially determined that it was an elderly man. I inquired about the condition of the body and found that it had been dead for at least two years." Chen Xiaoqiu spoke straightforwardly, his tone was wavering, but his expression was more normal than usual. His condition became more rigid and his face became a little pale.

"Two years?" I asked in a daze.

"Yeah." Chen Xiaoqiu nodded.

"Could it be..." I felt like I hadn't woken up yet.

Chen Xiaoqiu said: "Go and have a look."

"What?"

"Go and see... if there are any ghosts." Chen Xiaoqiu said the second half of the sentence with difficulty.

I opened my mouth, and after a while, I agreed.

The two of us went upstairs again. Chen Xiaoqiu said something to the policeman guarding the door, and the policeman let us in.

Guo Yujie accompanied Wang Hui and looked at our backs anxiously.

After I entered the house, I didn't feel the same weird feeling I had last time. Now that I think about it, I actually felt the Yin Qi in Uncle Wang last time, right? Now, has Uncle Wang... rested in peace?

I followed Chen Xiaoqiu and a policeman through the house in a hurry and entered Uncle Wang's bedroom.

There was a corpse lying on the bed. It was so decomposed that the facial features could not be seen clearly. It could only be recognized as a human being. The forensic doctor was doing an evaluation, and a middle-aged policeman came towards us.

"what happened?"

"We have clues." Chen Xiaoqiu glanced at me, "He came to visit Wang Hongzhang before to talk about demolition, just a few weeks ago."

The middle-aged policeman knew Chen Xiaoqiu and asked me: "Are you sure you saw Wang Hongzhang?"

I nodded numbly, "We also talked."

"It is still not possible to confirm that the person on the bed is Wang Hongzhang." The police said to Chen Xiaoqiu.

"Well, I just want to provide you with one more witness, hoping it will be helpful." Chen Xiaoqiu made a poor excuse.

The policeman said helplessly, "I understand. You can get out."

When the two of us went out, Guo Yujie asked us desperately with her eyes.

I shook my head and smiled bitterly.

The thin man and the fat man also arrived, and they also brought He Juan and Zheng Xinxin, so Wang Hui was handed over to these two professionals.

"Brother Qi, what's going on?" the thin man asked me.

"I don't know either. I really didn't see it before. However, I felt something was wrong in that room..." I sighed, "I don't feel that way anymore."

"The police said they were not sure it was Uncle Wang," Chen Xiaoqiu said.

"Who is it if it's not Uncle Wang?" Guo Yujie said in a complicated tone.

If it's Uncle Wang, then Uncle Wang has died a long time ago. If it's not Uncle Wang, then why is there a corpse in Uncle Wang's room?

No matter what the outcome is, it is difficult to accept.

In this regard, we have no choice but to wait for the results of the police investigation.

When he went to work on Monday, Chen Xiaoqiu gave us the news.

"DNA testing shows that the body is Wang Hongzhang's."

Guo Yujie slumped on the chair. Both the thin man and the fat man frowned.

I asked, "What about the time of death?"

"The autopsy of the death was conducted two years ago and further examination is required." Chen Xiaoqiu replied, "The forensic doctor suspects that there are other factors that affected the degree of decomposition of the body."

This is not surprising. From a scientific point of view, this is the most correct way of thinking.

But the five of us now believe in the existence of supernatural events to some extent, and we don’t think that Uncle Wang became like this because he was affected by the degree of decay after his death.

"In addition, Li Li and Li Changsheng died in the detention center." Chen Xiaoqiu added.

We were stunned.

"How did you die?" Guo Yujie asked.

"Suicide." Chen Xiaoqiu lowered his eyes. "Li Changsheng bit his wrist and died from excessive blood loss. Li Li broke his head. The detention said that Li Li's death method was very abnormal. He was not only I hit the wall not once, but several times, and my brains were knocked out.”

"Is it..." The thin man's voice became hoarse, and the second half of his words got stuck in his throat.

"Did Aunt Wang press his head and hit him to death?" Guo Yujie asked the question I wanted to ask. The thin man probably also wants to ask this question.

Chen Xiaoqiu shook his head and said he didn't know the details.

"They deserve it." Guo Yujie said, her voice losing the anger from yesterday.

With Guo Yujie's temperament, even if Old Man Li and his son were full of evil, she would still feel uncomfortable when she heard that they died in such a tragic way.

The office continued the dull and depressing atmosphere from last week. When the old leader heard about this, he expressed condolences and enlightened us. He also said that he would ask He Juan and Zheng Xinxin to provide us with psychological counseling. We never told the old leader about the supernatural events, fearing that he would be frightened because of his old age, so now we accepted his kindness.

When we got off work, the five of us unexpectedly walked in the same direction.

I stopped and looked at them, "You guys..."

"Let's go, Brother Qi." The thin man hooked my shoulder.

I just smiled.
