Ji Jing looked at the time. It was only four o’clock in the afternoon. There was still plenty of time, so she agreed.
However, she asked,”Sure. Do I have to wait for you to get off work?””
Seeing that she agreed, Wang Gu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained,””I was on the night shift last night. I’m off work now.”
” I see.” Ji Jing nodded.” Alright, let’s set off immediately then?” On the way, tell me about the situation of the house.”
Wang Gu nodded repeatedly.
Ji Jing packed her things and left the internet cafe with Wang Gu.
“I live with my girlfriend. She was the one who saw the live broadcast before sharing it with me.”Wang Gu scratched his head and talked about the strange phenomenon in his house.” Our house has been losing things recently. At first, we thought it was a thief. We installed several surveillance cameras in the house and at the door, but we didn’t see anyone coming in or out.”
Losing things at home? This was indeed a very serious matter for ordinary people.
Ji Jing thought about it and asked,”Where’s the balcony?” Have you considered going in and out from the balcony?”
Wang Gu shook his head.” The surveillance camera in the living room can also see the balcony. No one went in or out.” The most ridiculous time was when my girlfriend lost a piece of clothing the day before yesterday. The dress had a tear on it because she had scraped a tree branch on the way. She left it on the chair in the bedroom and planned to patch it up the next day. Then, when she woke up the next day, the dress was gone!”
“This is really too strange! We checked the surveillance cameras. No one entered or exited the room. The dress suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night!”When Wang Gu mentioned this matter, his expression was very panicked.”It was this time that we suspected our family…” There’s a ghost.”
Ji Jing felt that it was strange after hearing the whole thing.
If Wang Gu didn’t see anyone through the surveillance cameras, then it was very likely that the non-human existence had stolen it.
If it was a ghost, it might be revenge, or it might be like the Song Dynasty, protecting people who could not let go.
All in all, most ghosts and monsters had a strong purpose, and they only wanted to fulfill their obsessions.
However, the “ghost” who stole things in Wang Gu’s house didn’t seem to have any purpose.
Could it be that someone’s obsession when they were alive was to steal things?
That was unlikely.
Ji Jing thought for a while and then thought of the announcement issued by the Taoist Association a few days ago. She asked Wang Gu,”Have you counted the things that were lost at home?”
“Yes, yes, these.” Wang Gu replied.”
He opened the notebook on his phone, which recorded the list of items he had lost.
The items were very messy and there was almost no pattern.
There were wallets, clothes, fruits, snacks, cups, and even a soymilk machine!
” You lost the soymilk machine?!” Ji Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She seemed to have an idea.” Can the soymilk machine be used normally?””
Wang Gu seemed to be a little puzzled as to why Ji Jing would ask such a question, but he still recalled and said,””Its blade seems to be a little broken. My girlfriend said it before. However, it wouldn’t affect him if he just changed the blade, right?”
But what did the broken soymilk machine have to do with it being stolen?
“Then let’s match the two.” After Ji Jing figured out the whole story, she even found it a little funny.” Think about it carefully. Are these things that were lost intact?”
Wang Gu carefully recalled,” The dress is torn, my wallet…” Some of them were torn and had not been used for a long time. The snacks had been opened before, and the cup’s thermal insulation function was a little bad… They’re indeed not in good condition!”
Wang Gu was excited. This was the first time they found the pattern of things being lost, but he soon became confused,” But these are all very normal. Things will be like this after being used for a long time. Does this have anything to do with them?””
“It’s not a problem. You’ll know if my guess is right when we get to your place,” Ji Jing said with a smile. However, you don’t have to worry. This wasn’t done by a ghost.”
Wang Gu heaved a sigh of relief. He knew it, there were no ghosts in this world!
To Ji Jing, this matter shouldn’t be dangerous, but it wouldn’t be easy to resolve either.
Just as Ji Jing was thinking of a solution, her phone rang.
She received a text message from Mingze.
[Are you free now? I have something to tell you.]
Ji Jing readily agreed. Is it convenient for you to be happy? It just so happens that I have something to ask of you.]
Ming Ze quickly replied,[Yes. Five minutes.]
Ji Jing saw the text message and smiled. With Ming Ze around, this matter would be easily resolved!
When Ming Ze arrived, Ji Jing and Wang Gu had just arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood.
“This is my friend, Ming Ze. He’s an expert in this kind of thing.”
