Chapter 5 Number 091 - Grimace in the Water (5)
On July 9, 2015, the situation of "fat head" Zhang Hongda and "Xiao Xu" Xu Li were found. The two committed suicide in 1992 and 1993, respectively, with the causes of deaths being pesticide poisoning and lying on the track. Xu Li's family moved out of the city and could not find any contact information. Zhang Hongda's close relatives have all died and only contacted his niece Lin Juan.
On July 11, 2015, I met Lin Juan. Audio file 09120150711.wav.
"Actually... I don't know much about my uncle. At that time, I was very young and had just started elementary school, right? And I didn't live with my uncle, so I didn't know the whole story."
"It's okay, just say what you know."
"What I know is that my uncle was a ghost and got evil at that time. Grandma and grandpa wanted to take his uncle to move, so he asked my parents to find a new house. At that time, there was no house sold, so my father was quite related. He found a local house in the rural area of Pingnan City, and lived in a separate yard for them to live in. My mother ran away at the time, and it was very hard. After that, seeing that my uncle's condition was a little more stable, my mother took me to see it once."
"Well. Have you met Mr. Zhang Hongda?"
"Yes... I saw him... He... was really evil at that time. He looked like a lunatic, and he couldn't be said to be a lunatic..."
"Ms. Lin, can you try to tell us in detail what happened that day? Details are important to us."
"Talk about it... Oh, yes, yes. To be more detailed... It was sunny that day, and the sun was very sunny. My mother took me to transfer to Pingnan and took a tractor that someone passed by. The place was very remote, and the dirt roads in the countryside were not easy to walk on. I sat on the tractor for a long time and was very bumped. I vomited as soon as I got off the car. After vomiting, I had to continue walking. Then I saw my grandmother's new home... I can't remember the house now, but I remember when I saw it, I was so scared that I saw it. The house was lonely, far away from the surrounding houses, and behind it was the dark forest... Now speaking of it... Grandma and the others were looking for such a house, far away from others..."
"Um."
"When I arrived at the door, my mother called out. I can't remember whether my grandmother or grandfather came out to greet me. I didn't see my uncle anyway. My mother talked to my grandmother and grandfather, so I sat next to me. I didn't listen to what they said. When I was a child, I was very naughty. Seeing that chickens and ducks were raised in the yard, I ran to chase them. Then, I saw someone standing at the window of the house, someone I didn't know. He stared at me tightly, and his eyes seemed to eat people. The sun was so sunny that I was so cold all over. I probably called out, and wanted to find my mother, so I rushed into the house. He moved, ran away from the window, and I saw him suddenly turn out from behind the wall, blocking me, blocking the door, and pushing me to the ground, and starting to tear my skirt!"
"skirt?"
"Yes, it's the skirt."
"What happened later?"
"Later, my mother jumped over to protect me. Grandma and grandpa were pulling him, so he didn't let me go, and he was tearing my skirt... That skirt... That skirt is my new skirt. I remember this very clearly. I got a double-point score in the exam. My father bought me a bright red skirt with small florals... He almost tore the skirt, and he was still yelling at the slightest. Finally, seeing that it was no longer possible, my mother let me go, got something, and smashed it on the head, and then subdued him."
"That person is your uncle, right?"
"Well, yes, it's my uncle. He has become a different person, and he has lost his body. I haven't even recognized it."
"He took your skirt like a ghost?"
"I don't know. I knew crying at that time. My mother hugged me and left quickly. She never took me to see my uncle again. When my uncle passed away, I didn't go."
"Didn't you hear anything related from your mother?"
"No. I was really too young at that time, and I forgot a little after I got older. Uh, maybe I forgot it on purpose. I still don't wear skirts, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I see the big red clothes. Alas, I'm sorry, I've been talking about my own affairs and haven't helped you too much."
"Where, this has helped us a lot."
"I have another question to think about it."
"Please ask."
"Have your mother mentioned the matter about her hometown?"
"Um?"
"As far as we know, people in that place had little liquidity before the factory went bankrupt, and the factory was established, and they changed from farmers to workers, and their living areas did not change. Your mother was one of the few people who moved away. Has she mentioned anything about her hometown? Is there anything special about your parents' marriage?"
"This... doesn't seem to be there. My parents' marriage... was special in that era? They were in a free relationship. When my mother went to the city to do business, they met my dad. The two of them met each other, and they got married."
"Well, OK. If you remember anything else, you can contact us anytime."
"OK."
On July 14, 2015, a total of 14 members of the former Jiao County Rural Commune and the former Hongxing Factory were investigated, and no clues were found; the history of the Jiao County Rural Commune was investigated, but no clues were found.
On July 17, 2015, I received a call from Lin Juan. The phone recording was 201507171109.mp3.
"Hello, is it a reporter from "Strange Talk"?"
"Yes, you are Miss Lin Juan, are you?"
"Ah, yes! It's me. I just remember something, which may be helpful to you."
"Please tell me."
"Well. This is what my mother said when I was a child. I forgot what I did at that time. Anyway, when she scolded me, she scared me and said she would lock me in an empty house. The empty house seemed to be a yard in my hometown. It had not lived in it for decades, no one cared about it, and it was empty. The old man in my hometown said that he would lock people in an empty house, and monsters would come to eat the child at night."
"So... are there some practical examples?"
"How could this be possible? Haha. It's just a local legend, or it may be made up by people. You should be interested in this, right?"
"Yes, this is a lot of fun, thank you for the content."
July 17, 2015, investigated "empty house". Audio file 09120150717.wav.
rustle……
"...I know, there is indeed such a place. But it's just a abandoned house? I haven't been there."
rustle……
"...Oh! That house with monsters! Isn't it just something to scare children? I've been there, but I have no impression. Many people have been there!"
rustle……
Bang!
"Oh! As soon as you said that, I remembered that Captain Li went to an empty house with people when he was a child! Many people went there together, and they didn't go home after dinner. Everyone was chased and beaten by their family. It was so lively!"
"Auntie, are you sure it's Captain Li?"
"Who else can I have besides him? Alas, Captain Li has hit a ghost, but was he targeted by a monster?"
July 19, 2015, contact Li Aimin. Audio file 09120150719.wav.
"Empty house? That... I went with my brother, and there were many other people. I forgot why I went there. I just remember that we were late and everyone was beaten."
"How much do you remember that empty house?"
