Chapter 286 The man in black
"Yes, that's what my mother said. I just heard one sentence and didn't ask. If I had known she would be like this, I should have asked carefully." Qian Lan's eyes were wet when she said this.
Guo Yujie hurriedly patted Qian Lan on the back with comfort and comforted her: "Aunt Qian, don't think too much. This may be because Director Zhou missed his wife and saw it."
"Well, OK, OK, I won't talk about this anymore." Qian Lan pressed the corner of her eyes and asked us to sit down. "You were going to ask about that before. I really didn't know what happened, so I heard my mother say a few things before. This time I found the album and thought of you."
Qian Lan went into the house and took out a photo album.
For some reason, I looked at the album and subconsciously thought of the photos of Ren Min having problems in the incident "Omen of Death".
The album is an old small notebook with small plastic bags inside. It just so happens that two photos are packed back to back. One is more than two fingers thick, and it is full of stuffing.
Qian Lan had already opened the album, flipped through several pages, stopped, and sent it to us, "Look, just this one, the group photo taken is right at the door of that office."
As Qian Lan said, this is a group photo. Director Zhou in the photo looked like twenty years ago. There were three young people standing beside her, two men and one woman, two men were 1.8 meters tall, one was stronger and the other was slimmer. The former was Liu Miao, and the latter was Ye Qing. The woman had a slender figure, long hair shawl and a gentle temperament. I can recognize it because I saw the figures of the three people in Dreams and videos, but I have never seen the faces of the three people before, and I have never seen them this time.
"What's the face..." The thin man stopped talking as soon as he opened his mouth.
Qian Lan said: "There is a problem with the exposure. The camera was not good at that time."
There is something wrong with the exposure of the photo. The entire right half is pale, and only the outline of the person can be seen. Qingye's three people are standing on the right, and Director Zhou is on the left. In this way, the appearance of these three people is naturally completely invisible.
"My mother kept the photos, and she was also in the bottom of the box. She hasn't taken them out for many years, and the photos are also a problem..." Qian Lan said apologetically, and then turned over a few more pages, another photo of Director Zhou and Qingye.
This time it was not an exposure problem, but the photos were improperly preserved and moldy, and the whole photo was blurred, leaving only a green leaf brand to identify.
I was a little confused about the reason why Qian Lan called us.
But these two photos really don’t provide any clues.
Chen Xiaoqiu took the photo album and wanted to take out the photo, but found that the photo was stuck in the bag and was still stuck with the photo on the back. Chen Xiaoqiu let go and looked at Qian Lan and said, "It's not okay to repair such a photo."
Qian Lan was a little disappointed, "I thought the current technology could be repaired."
Chen Xiaoqiu turned a few pages, "It seems that this photo is the most moldy."
"Yes. Everything else is fine."
Other photos are not brand new, some are yellowed, some are overexposed, and there are problems during the shooting. Several scenes are stacked in one photo. But only two photos of Aoye can't see the face at all.
I know that this is Ye Qingdong's hand and footsteps. The government's archives bureau cannot find Qingye's information. In all the videos, the five people's appearances were mosaiced, and even my dreams did not appear. The photos of Director Zhou's side are of course no exception.
Chen Xiaoqiu returned the album to Qian Lan.
Qian Lan apologized: "I thought I could help you."
"Aunt Qian, you are so polite. This is nothing." Guo Yujie said.
"Then... people can't find them. What should I do when the house is demolished?" Qian Lan asked curiously.
"We can only post announcements. If we can't find anyone within a certain period of time, we will deal with it directly. When they appear, we can come to the government to receive compensation for demolition." I explained briefly to Qian Lan.
Qian Lan asked again: "I heard from the people in the community that they saw a person who worked in this office came to the community."
"We have contacted the other party, but he is not the owner, he is just an employee, and he doesn't know where the others are." I lied.
Qian Lan said "Oh" and looked at us with some embarrassment.
"Aunt Qian, is there anything you have to do?" Guo Yujie asked on his own initiative.
"Well, it's a little..." Qian Lan was very embarrassed, "The people in the community should have asked you too. When will the demolition start now? The house cannot be sold now, so it can only be kept in my hands... I am either in a hurry to ask for money, or I always think about the house, and I feel very nervous. So many things have happened..."
I felt aroused in my heart and asked, "I heard from Director Mao that last time, something happened in the community one night, and someone was so scared that he fell down and sent to the hospital."
"Yes. That day, my mother suddenly wanted to move." Qian Lan looked lingeringly scared, "I saw a figure that day, right inside my mother's house."
"Shadow?" I asked in surprise.
"I don't know if it's because I'm looking at it. The lights in the room were not turned on at that time. When my mother was sleeping on the bed, I saw someone sitting next to the bed. I didn't think much about it, and walked over and turned on the lights, but I didn't see anything. My mother was sleeping, so she sat up all of a sudden and said she wanted to move." Qian Lan pressed her chest, "I wonder if she was a ghost. But then there was nothing..."
"It sounds so scary." Guo Yujie touched her arm.
Qian Lan nodded repeatedly, "So I thought I was moving away at that time. But I happened to encounter demolition..."
Of course, selling a house did not wait for the demolition compensation to be paid. Furthermore, the water pipe exploded soon, and no one would be willing to buy this house except for people who speculate in houses and then demolition. The transaction price can be imagined.
I thought about what the figure of that person was, and suddenly I heard the footsteps outside the door.
I didn't care at first, and Guo Yujie was still curious about what everyone else encountered that day. Qian Lan knew a lot, most of them were like her, and saw a figure. Their voices gradually became far away, and the footsteps became clear.
My heartbeat unknowingly synchronized with the sound of footsteps, and my breathing seemed to be on the point, in line with the sound.
Leather shoes, sneakers, and none of them look like each other.
I could hear that the owner of the voice was going upstairs, climbing up the steps, and when he arrived at Qian Lan's doorstep, he stopped.
My mind was caught by the voice, and I turned my head subconsciously and looked towards the direction of the door.
The door opened was very long, without the sound of the door lock turning, only the hoarse sound of the door moving inch by inch. One foot stepped in, and then the slow footsteps sounded again.
The person who came in was wearing black clothes, unable to tell what style it was, and wore a black hat, black shoes under his feet, and a pale public face that made people forget after looking at it.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat.
The man in black seemed to be unable to see others, nor could anyone else see them. He walked straight to the room where Director Zhou was sleeping, and stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. He also didn't twist the door handle, so the door was pushed open.
From me, I happened to see Director Zhou. She was lying peacefully on the bed, breathing smoothly.
The man in black occupied the bed and looked down at Director Zhou.
Director Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, turned his waist, landed his barefoot on the ground, and stood up straight again. His elderly body had no extra movements throughout the whole process.
