"Zhao Chen? I'm Zhao Kang's friend."
I quickly regained my composure and said in a deep voice.
Fortunately, I opened the lock earlier, so for the sake of caution, I didn't let go of the peephole.
If the woman in the house sees me, she will definitely recognize me. We met in the unfinished building.
As the old saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Zhao Chen was so cautious in broad daylight and didn't answer the door. What was she afraid of?
"If you don't leave, I will call the police! If you have the ability, go find my brother!"
The woman's voice sounded frantic and deeply helpless.
Suddenly, I remembered a detail.
After Zhao Kang pushed me, his mood seemed to be stable, but he suddenly said, don't come to him, and suddenly became ferocious and vicious.
He even had the tendency to transform from a black resentful ghost to a blood resentful ghost in an instant.
This means that Zhao Kang's death was not just the information given by Huang Si, but there was also a hidden secret in it?
At the same time, there were choking and sobbing sounds coming from behind the door, intermittent with the sounds of collapse.
"Are you going to force me to death too?"
"I'm not afraid that my brother will come to find you. You have no heart!"
My pupils shrank.
Zhao Chen's words directly confirmed my guess.
My mind is more flexible and I have an idea in an instant.
"Zhao Chen, you misunderstood. I am really your brother's friend. He asked me to bring you a message. You can no longer offer him paper to burn. It's not safe there."
My voice became heavier, and then I said, "Also, your brother wants you to do something."
At that time, when I entered the room at the end of the left side, the incense candles and paper money were not extinguished, but Zhao Kang was not there. He appeared after a while.
This means that Zhao Kang actually avoids his sister.
It was like Tang Qianqian was avoiding Uncle Tang and me.
Therefore, I infer that Zhao Chen and Zhao Kang did not have any communication between the living and the dead on any level. She was just too sad and longing for her to burn incense and offer sacrifices.
The crying suddenly stopped.
There was a soft click, the lock was unscrewed, and the door opened.
A woman in her thirties, with slightly messy hair, deep dark circles under her eyes, heavy bags under her eyes, and tears at the corners of her red eyes.
I looked at her and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Is it...you? You're not..."
"Let's go in and talk." My tone was a little more solemn.
Zhao Ping cautiously glanced at Chuying beside me again, and her wariness became slightly lessened.
Let us into the house.
The lighting on the first floor is not good. Even during the day, the room is very dark.
The living room is no more than ten square meters, and the furniture is relatively old.
There was a snap and the tungsten light came on.
"I went to see Yasuko yesterday. I didn't expect that there would be living people walking around in a place like that, so I didn't say hello to you." I explained first.
Zhao Chen's expression became much more relaxed. He asked us to sit down on the sofa and explained while pouring water for us.
It is said that there were quite a lot of people living in the unfinished building before. However, some time ago, the relevant departments said they would demolish the building and offered some compensation to move people out. She has been to the unfinished building several times but has never seen anyone. When she saw me yesterday, she didn't recognize me, so she didn't say hello.
I thought thoughtfully, Zhao Ping knew nothing about unfinished buildings.
This is normal. She is an ordinary person. If it weren't for Zhao Kang's Yin Qi lingering around her, something might have happened to her long ago.
As he spoke, Zhao Ping placed two cups of hot water in front of Chuying and me.
I took out my wallet at the same time and took out all the remaining wad of money on my body.
"This..." Zhao Ping looked confused.
"The money is not much. Yasushi asked me to give it to you. You can call your sister-in-law. It is the last living expenses he can give." I sighed softly.
Zhao Ping covered her mouth and sat tremblingly on the sofa on the left, crying again and again.
While crying, she choked and said that she knew that her brother must not have left yet, but why didn't he see her? She wanted to talk to him again.
Chu Ying stood up and walked to Zhao Chen, gently patted her shoulder and advised her to refrain from mourning.
At the same time, Tsubaki Ying glanced at me with admiration in her eyes.
I also gave Zhao Ping a few words of advice. Her brother couldn't see her because of the difference between humans and ghosts. He could see me because of my special job. I ran a funeral shop. Because of this, she didn't know that her brother had After all, a friend like me is not very lucky.
Moreover, I came to her not only to prevent her from paying tribute and making money, but there was also one thing that was very important.
There is something fishy about Zhao Kang’s death!
In the first few sentences, my tone was very soft, but in the last sentence, my voice was much louder.
Zhao Ping raised his head and looked at me blankly, his expression full of surprise and confusion.
"The police have closed the case. He hanged himself... Could it be that he was killed by someone?" Zhao Ping's tone became extremely excited.
My mind was completely calm.
Zhao Ping was already walking exactly in the direction I guided.
I explained that Zhao Kang did commit suicide, but his death was not entirely due to financial and life pressure, but also for other reasons.
For example, she said before that someone has been looking for her and Zhao Kang. This is also one of the pressures.
Zhao Chen bit her lower lip tightly, and she immediately blurted out the identities of those people.
It turned out that after Zhao Kang left his job, he had no source of income and could not repay his mortgage or other loans he had borrowed. Many people came to collect debts. Although it is natural to pay back debts, the methods of those people were extremely shameless. He would live in his brother's house, and he also said that when someone dies, the debt will be cancelled. Zhao Kang has the guts to commit suicide, otherwise he must pay back the money.
Not long after, her brother actually committed suicide.
But those people didn't give up and asked her for money again, saying that this was a family matter and the temple would still be there even after the monk died.
She was almost crushed.
Chuying's face looked ugly, saying how could such a person exist? He was more pestering and vicious than a ghost.
My expression remained unchanged, and I quickly analyzed these things. Although they were directly related to Zhao Kang's death, they were still not the key.
Zhao Kang is related to the formation of the prison of unfinished buildings.
When he died, he must have brought something with him.
"This is one of the pressures, but it's still not the main reason. I know Yasuko well. He has so many responsibilities on his shoulders that he can't just die. There are other reasons that make him confused." I said solemnly. Again.
In fact, if you understand this, it is completely nonsense.
However, the direction I deduced is definitely not wrong.
The things in Zhao Kang's body that can promote the formation of a vicious prison must be full of resentment.
Normal people who have been exposed to these for a long time will either commit suicide or die suddenly.
"This..." Zhao Ping frowned and racked his brains to think.
"You should think carefully about whether your brother has any weird personal belongings, or whether he has been to a place where people have died recently."
"I'm in the funeral industry. Trust me, I can't go wrong." My tone was particularly gentle.
