Qingye Supernatural Office Chapter 14

Chapter 14: New Year's Ghost Child (6)

"According to the information we found, your wife's suicide was published in the newspaper at that time. Many people at the scene saw it and heard it. That ghost child cried out and crawled out from her stomach."

"..."

"Mr. Zhou?"

"Yes, I also...saw it...when Yinan jumped off, her clothes were wide open, her stomach landed on the ground, her whole stomach splitted open like a watermelon. It was red...the whole ground was red...I...I heard the sound of a child's cry, very soft, but very clear. It was clearly crying. I don't know why, but I thought about the child's laughter that Yinan said. In the pool of blood, there was something moving. I had to control myself. I didn't want to look, but I looked anyways. That child...a full-term child crawled right out of Yinan's stomach…"

"Did anyone go up and touch the ghost child?"

"No one. Everyone was scared, they were screaming, running, and some people's legs went weak from the sight of it. I was too...I didn't dare go near it...and at that time it was cold, my whole body was frozen like an icicle. From until the ambulance and police arrived and talked with me and my mom, I only looked away once, when I looked back at Yinan...that child disappeared."

"This was also found in a report. After the discussion, many people thought it was just a collective illusion."

"It was not an illusion. It was certainly not an illusion. When I got into the police car with my mom, my hands were shaking. That cry, I remember it very clearly. I definitely heard it and I also saw Yinan's stomach...during that time, many people all said that Yinan was crazy and me and my mom were also possessed or something and there was no pregnancy at all. And the c.r.a.p about the ghost child...but they were all true!"

"We believe that you did encounter a paranormal event and that was indeed a ghost child."

"Mm…"

"After your wife's death, did anything weird happen?"

"Nothing. *hu*...nothing happened."

"Did you ever go back to Minqing City?"

"Ha, how can I go back again?"

"Did you ever contact the manager of Junli Inn?"

"Huh? You...did something happen to that inn? It's definitely the inn's problem!"

"We just think it's a good way to investigate this."

"I did not go to that inn again. Yinan was dead, everything was over."

…

Wei Yinan was identified as one of the victims, situation happened in 2002, it is inferred that the root cause of this problem was before this.

On April 28, 2004, the 3rd deceased s.h.i.+ Wenshan's boyfriend, Pan Ping was contacted. Audio file 0232040428.wav.

"Yes, we stayed at Junli Inn on the New Year's of 2001, when we wanted to see the New Year fireworks. Many people booked rooms there just so that they can watch the fireworks. The previous year, my friend booked a room there and recommended us to go. I was planning to propose to ShanShan that day."

"What happened on that day?"

"I can't explain it very clearly...we saw the fireworks and pa.s.sed midnight and then I proposed to ShanShan and showed her the marriage ring. She was very happy and she took the ring and put it on her finger and she hugged me and kissed me. I...I didn't pay attention it at first, but she looked pleased looking at the ring, I didn't think it was right. That ring...I don't really understand it. I just heard the lady introducing it to me and my sister helped me choose it. I didn't understand what the difference was between those rings. But I remembered that the ring I bought was round and the diamond was round, too. The ring ShanShan was wearing was square. The diamond wasn't big, but ShanShan quickly took it...she was very excited, took my hand while talking, and we fell asleep without knowing it. I had a dream that night, ShanShan's hand was shaking in front of me, that ring was also shaking in front of me, and there was a really noisy sound. I couldn't hear it clearly, but it was noisy. Woke up in the morning still dazed and was especially tired and found out that the bed was empty. ShanShan...ShanShan and her things disappeared."

"Did you go search for Miss s.h.i.+?"

"Of course! Of course I went to search for her! I thought she went to eat breakfast first, so I went to the inn's restaurant, but I didn't see her. I went to ask the inn's waiter and he helped me ask the restaurant and the front desk...the lady at the front desk looked at me with a strange expression on her face and told me that ShanShan left the inn at 3 o'clock and the inn helped her get a taxi. I was so confused, everything was going well, why would she leave at 3? I thought that ShanShan was feeling uncomfortable and I asked the front desk again, but the front desk ignored me. I went to ShanShan's house and her parents looked at me with a strange expression and told me to get out. I really don't know what happened…"

"You haven't seen Miss s.h.i.+?"

"No, I never saw her. For the next two weeks, she didn't go to work, didn't answer her phone, and didn't go out. I went to her house a few times and her parents were weird, and talked about things that I didn't understand."

"What did they say?"

"They said that I was a beast. *sigh*...I really didn't know what happened…"

"Mr. Pan, as far as we know, you insisted on searching for Miss s.h.i.+ for more than a month."

"Yes, for more than a month, her parents at the end called the police. The neighbors looked at me like I was a hooligan. After the police came, ShanShan finally met with me. She didn't talk, she just threw the ring at me, and went back to her room. I held the ring and my heart felt empty. That police seemed to have said a lot, but I didn't listen. My sister took me home and said a lot too...she later asked me what I did, I opened my hand, it was that ring. My sister even asked where did that ring come from. I said that it was the wedding ring. She recognized that it wasn't the ring she chose...she thought that the jewelry store gave us the wrong one. The marriage between me and ShanShan seemed to be ruined and she wanted to return it. She did all this, at that time I was obsessed with it. One day she returned from work, she suddenly pulled me, face to face and putted the ring on the table. It was the wedding ring, I brought. Then the day before, one of the inn's staff was cleaning and found the ring I bought. When I made the reservation, I said that I was going to propose. I also asked them to prepare flowers or something...the phone call from picked up by my sister. She thought at first, they might have been mistaken and went to the inn, and it was the ring that I brought…"

"They found the ring under the carpet?"

"Yes, under the carpet, so it took long for them to find it."

"In other words, there was two rings."

"Yes, two rings. I was sure that before I proposed to ShanShan, I didn't touch the ring and made sure no one else does. But the ring in the ring box was switched and my ring fell in that hidden place...me and my sister felt that it was very strange, but we never thought about the reason why. After that, I got a call from ShanShan's father, he said that she was pregnant."

"It wasn't your child, right?"

"Yes, it wasn't, we two have never...we prepared for it after we get married...but she was pregnant. I...I was angry at first, I thought ShanShan betrayed me. I hung up and was ready to sell the ring. I didn't want to think about ShanShan again. The ring was sold and I started a new life, but...but that night, I saw the news...ShanShan...ShanShan committed suicide…"
