“You should say that this a voice of a ghost.”
“With that said, this ghost has become more powerful? It’s always appearing.”
“Perhaps, it’s possessing someone.”
“Huh? Tou Er, are you saying that…”
“Yu Meng is very dangerous, we must find her location immediately.”
“I can only start with monitoring.”
“How long does it take?”
“At least a week. It’s not that easy to get over the police’s firewall.”
On May 19, 2004, the 4 people on the list of deceased were excluded. It is impossible to confirm the existence of “Xiao Ling” in Sun Gan’s social relationships.
On May 20, 2004, the 7,000-person list of the ones that had booked room 809 before was investigated and 298 women with the word “Ling” or “Lin” in their names were found.
On May 22, 2004, received contact information of Zhang Dong, an retired employee of Junli Inn. Audio file 02320054522.wav.
“I heard from one of my former colleagues that you are asking about the inn and also mentioned the squared diamond ring?”
“Mr. Zhang, you know about this? Can you tell us more about it?”
“Ok. I joined Junli when it first opened. At that time, I was just any other ordinary employee. I worked in the room department. The manager of our department was one of the seniors when I was studying. He first returned to China. After returning, we still were in contact. When Junli opened, I just returned back home. He asked me if I wanted to work at Junli, so I started to work there.”
“The strange things that happened in the inn and that squared diamond ring, did it have anything to with him?”
“...Yes, it did had something to do with him. I...I’m actually not that familiar with the story. I always thought that he had a girlfriend. I’ve met that woman twice. She had a good relationship with senior and the two looked good together. Senior also looked very happy. The two of them came to the point of marriage. He had a plan and brought a ring, so that he could propose. This practice is more common in foreign countries. At that time, it should only be getting a wedding diamond ring in China. That ring, I remember it very clearly.”
“Did he chose room 809 of Junli Inn?”
“Yes…”
“Did the proposal fail?”
“Yes…”
“Can I ask what happened?”
“What happened? Ah...that day, senior asked his girlfriend to come to Junli and even made preparations. Many of us helped him put on decorations and blessed him. But the person who arrived, wasn’t his girlfriend. At that time, we all thought that it was a guest who got lost, I wanted to say something. But senior went to open the door and the man punched senior. We were all stupid, it took a second or two to react, but that man already pushed senior into the room and closed the door. We were so busy that when we found the door card to open the door, the fight had been going on for a long time. When we entered, we saw that the room was a whole mess and the man still did not let go of senior. Several of our men went up there to stop it. He couldn’t hit senior and started to swear, swearing at senior... that he raped his wife…”
“In other words, your senior’s girlfriend is a married woman?”
“Yes…*hu*——we didn’t expect this. I saw senior...his face was swollen, but I could see that he was shocked. He certainly did not know about this.”
“How was the problem solved?”
“For the reputation of the inn, we didn’t call the police. Senior didn’t feel like calling either and kept calling his girlfriend, but she didn’t pick up. He was injured and took a long leave. We didn’t want to ask about about it...and cleaned the room and the cleaning lady gave the wedding ring to us, asking what should we do. I had to contact senior and give the ring to him.”
“Is it a squared diamond ring?”
“Yes, it was.”
“When you met him, did he say anything?”
“At the beginning, he didn’t say anything, expect staring at the ring. He was very depressed. When I saw him like that, I knew that man wasn’t talking nonsense and was not a madman. That woman lied to him. Later, he said that he wanted to drink, so I accompanied him for a drink. He drank until he was drunk and then he started to talk. That woman didn’t pick up the phone, but he still managed to find her, but she avoided him like as if she was afraid of him. At that time, he found her unit and met one of her colleagues. Her colleague even advised him to not harm her. Her husband is very fierce and beats people. For her own good, it’s better off to not chase after her, anymore.”
“That being said, did her colleagues know your senior?”
“Yes. So that why I said that my senior did not know that, that woman was a married woman! He’s met her colleagues before, met her parents, and they all supported those two! Who knows that all of a sudden, a husband appears! These people are such jerks! That woman is, too! Her husband was very violent towards her family. She called the police and divorced. Anyways it was good for her, but the social environment did not have such a thing at that time, but you shouldn't hurt people! They all know that she was very exhausted and know that her husband is messed up, and doesn’t help at all. So when my senior appeared, they set her up with him and they get on bothering me on senior’s situation! Senior was beaten up by someone and that woman and the others were probably yelled at. They all said these sarcastic remarks! Fuck! Senior and that woman at that time had already been in contact for half a year! Damn it!”
“Then was she pregnant?”
“Ah...you…”
“It seems like you know a lot of things.”
“I...was just guessing...I can only guess.”
“Let’s talk about the pregnancy.”
“Senior was drunk when he told me. He and that woman’s secret was discovered, just because that woman was pregnant. Her husband is a long-distance driver, the time was not right, so he immediately knew that his wife was a cuckold and found senior. Do you know? This thing was told by that woman to her husband, including room 809 and the time. She even got abortion without any hesitation! After being discovered by that man, she became like dog, asking the man to forgive him, to get abortion, and even said that it was senior who raped her! That slut, she deserved to be beaten!”
“She may have been in domestic violence for a long time, so…”
“So she pushed my senior away? What did my senior do? Did he deserve all this?”
“...”
“They are all not things, senior didn’t do anything wrong and it’s all their fault that he’s dead!”
“Their fault that he’s dead?”
“That man later took this matter and blackmailed senior. He really is a scum and that woman is also a slut. She looked for a small clinic for her abortion, that child was being held by that man and he used it to threat senior! Once he pulled that woman to prove that, that piece of meat is senior’s child! After that, the woman looked after senior by herself and cried for him to forgive her and she asked senior to save her and to take her with him abroad. Ha!”
“Then?”
“Senior already knew the truth and wanted to break up with that woman. Her colleagues kept on coming to his door. Sometimes they would go to the inn. Senior was linked to it and he got suspended. And then they found senior’s home and they almost made senior’s parents furious...after a few months, I received a call, which was a notice for senior’s funeral. When he was hiding from that bastard, he got hit by a car, he...died like that…”
“You always said you ‘guessed’ it, hearing it now, it sounded very definite.”
“I…”
“What did you guess?”
