Chapter 56 Witness

Bai Ru took a look at Gu Yi, and her eyes were full of doubts. Gu Yi said in a low voice, "That person's voice... is very strange."

Indeed, the five words the man just said seemed to spit out of his throat, dry and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and suddenly forced himself to squeeze out his voice.

"It has something to do with this." Gu Yi patted his pocket.

Bai Ru nodded and agreed.

The dean took them to a seemingly high-grade restaurant. After sitting down, he apologized again for the principal's inability to accompany them in person, and then asked them to order.

After ordering a few dishes casually, Bai Ru secretly glanced at her watch. It was past 12 noon. She pretended to socialize for a while. At least she ate something and left the restaurant first, while Gu Yi pulled the dean in the name of drinking.

Bai Ru was very relieved in this regard. With Gu Yi's drinking capacity, ten deanes tied together and couldn't drink him.

Bai Ru hurried back to school and went straight to the library. While walking, she looked at her watch. It was estimated that she would arrive there three or four minutes later at most.

When she came to the gate of the library, she saw a sign standing at the door: sorting out books and suspending the opening.

She reached out and pushed the door and found that the door was not locked, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

Standing at the door and glanced around, Bai Ru noticed that there was no one inside.

As soon as you enter the library, on the right side of the door is the registration counter. There are rows of bookcases on the left and right and against the wall, and the innermost door leads to the underground archives.

"Is anyone there?" Bai Ru asked, and her echo sounded in the room.

As soon as the echo disappeared, she heard a sound from the innermost part of the left side and looked at it quickly. She felt that the place where the sound was made should be behind the innermost row of bookcases on the left.

Bai Ru couldn't help but be alert and walked there carefully.

All the way to the end, she didn't see anyone or find anything that could make a sound.

Suddenly, she heard a slight footsteps behind her and was shocked. She suddenly looked back and saw the old man she had just seen on campus standing not far behind her, with an extremely ugly look on his face.

Bai Ru remained vigilant and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

The old man grinned and seemed to want to laugh, but finally gave up. He pointed to his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and flashed into a row of bookshelves, and Bai Ru slowly followed him.

Go straight to the reading area on the other side. The old man found a table and sat down. He looked at Bai Ru and motioned her to sit down as well.

Bai Ru frowned and sat opposite him.

The old man took out a small book and a pen from his pocket and said in that extremely unpleasant voice, "Pretue to be mute for more than ten years, talk less."

Bai Ru can't help but be quite strange. What makes an old man pretend to be mute and stay in school?

The old man put the small notebook and pen on the table and suddenly asked, "Can you catch ghosts?"

Bai Ru hesitated for a moment, nodded, took out the photo and put it on the table, and asked, "You gave it to me?"

After seeing the photo, the old man's eyes flashed, reached out to move the photo away, turned his head to the other side, and nodded gently.

Bai Ru asked, "Who is the child in the photo?"

The old man opened his mouth and paused. Instead of answering her question, he asked, "Lao Hao, something happened?"

Lao Hao? Principal Hao?

Bai Ru was silent, thinking about whether to answer his question.

For a long time, the old man said again, "Say it, I guess..."

Bai Ru thought that the old man must know a lot of things. After thinking about it, she decided to tell him and said, "Yes. Old gentleman, why did you ask me to come here? Why don't you tell me directly?

After hearing that his guess was true, the old man couldn't help closing his eyes and a trace of sadness on his face. After a moment, he suddenly opened the small book and wrote a line: "Can you prevent the ghost from appearing around us?"

After writing, he turned the small book to Bai Ru to see.

Bai Ru was slightly shocked and looked around carefully. There was nothing strange. After thinking about it, she gave two of them to the old man from her pocket and said, "One directly sticks to your chest, and the other is pasted behind your chair."

With that, she got up again and put a charm on the wall around her, on the ground and on the bookcase closest to them, and said to the old man, "Now you can rest assured."

The old man smiled. His smile looked a little miserable and bitter. For a while, he whispered, "Twenty years..."

Bai Ru's judgment was right. The old man in front of him did know a lot of things. After a long time, through his words and writing, Bai Ru finally learned a large part of the inside story of the haunted incident in the school.

The old man's name is Wu Zhong, a native of Qingshui County. He is 60 years old this year. He was a teacher more than 20 years ago, but he could not withstand the attraction of the business trend. He quit the teaching industry and turned to the construction contractor industry.

He had his own ideas for choosing this industry. At that time, Qingshui County happened to vigorously develop economic construction, and various new construction projects emerged one after another. Wu Zhong happened to know a construction team and some material channels. Naturally, he aimed at this industry at a glance. Speaking of which, he did work well in this industry. Soon, many projects were contracted in Qingshui County.

Fuxing Middle School is one of his projects. However, according to him, after taking over the project, he began to regret it. First, there were continuous accident during the construction. Although there were no lives, many people in the engineering team were more or less injured at work.

Although Wu Zhong secretly subcontracted the school project to others after receiving the project, he had to be responsible for it, so he could not sit back and watch the frequent accident here. He thought that the engineering team did not pay attention to safety during construction that caused personnel injury. One night, he ran to the school alone to check it. Check whether the safety measures of the construction team are in place.

At that time, the construction scale of the school was not as large as it is now. A main building and a secondary building are the main projects. The main body of the main building has been almost built. He walked around the inside and wrote down some precautions in the construction. He was about to come out, but he found a strange thing.

He saw two black cars parked at the school gate now. Wu Zhong couldn't help but be a little strange. The two cars did not appear before he entered the building. He glanced at his watch and it was already past ten o'clock. What happened to drive to the school site so late?

Wu Zhong has heard that some people will steal materials from construction sites at night, but the current situation is not very similar. Although he doesn't know what brand the two cars are, he can see that they are definitely good cars. In his words, they are two cars. He doesn't believe that anyone can drive them like this. A good car comes to steal construction materials, and the car is not big enough. Even if it is stolen, it may not be able to steal much. Can it be done by removing a few bricks?

It's just that he drove here so late. There must be something wrong. Wu Zhong didn't dare to go out rashly, so he hid behind the gate and secretly poked his head out to see what the two cars were going to do.

Although street lights have not been officially installed on both sides of the road next to the construction site, there are several temporary light poles. In order to prevent people from seeing the road clearly, Wu Zhong took advantage of the faint light to barely see the situation around the two cars.

The license plate of the car seemed to be blocked by something, and he could only see the car parked quietly. At first, he thought there was no one in the car, but soon he saw a little red light flashing in the cab and someone was smoking.

Wu Zhong couldn't help regretting that he should have sneaked out and walked away just now. Now he is staring at the car and doesn't know what the people in the car are going to do, when they will leave, or when they will get out of the car. Will he find himself? If he really sees himself, is it possible to be unfavorable to him?

He was about to sneak out of the building when he saw the door of one of the cars being opened and a man came down from it. Because the car blocked most of the light, he could not see the driver, but he could see that the man was wearing a suit.

Twenty years ago, suits were not as common as they are now. It can be said that people who can wear suits have a certain value. Wu Zhong subconsciously shrank back for fear that the people on the other side of the car would find out.

At this time, he saw the man in the suit wading in the car. Then, five men came down from the two cars. They didn't seem to intend to go to the school site. Instead, they took out a lot of tools from the trunk of one of the cars. Then, they walked to one side and pulled open a sewer. The manhole cover.

After the manhole cover was opened, they did not go down, but stopped and looked at the man in the suit.

The man walked over, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, looked down, then nodded, returned to the car, and got back into the car.

The next five men didn't take any action, just found a place to smoke after dispersing.

Wu You couldn't help but be a little curious and forgot the idea of sneaking out. He nestled in the door to see what these people were going to do.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know how long it took until the man in the car waved his hand, and the other five men immediately threw away the cigarette butts in their hands. Two of them walked to the trunk of another car, opened the trunk, and leaned down to carry something from it.

When Wu Zhong began to see the man waving his hand, he looked down at his watch and saw that the time was ten o'clock apart. He couldn't help grinning. Unexpectedly, it was midnight. When he looked up again and saw what the two people carried out of the trunk, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although the light is not very bright, he can still see that the two people carried out of the trunk were a person, and it was very likely to be a dead person.

And this is not the end. In addition to these two people, a man walked to the car, pulled the back door, and took out a child from it and carried it on his shoulder.

Wu Zhong opened his eyes and watched them slowly walk towards the open sewer mouth.
