So when she was about to go back to bed and continue to make a mask, suddenly there was a loud thud, as if something had fallen from a height into their awning. She was startled and quickly turned around to see that it had not been glued long before, and there was another mouth about the same size as what she had seen before, and there was that mop head dripping along those strips on the edge of the awning.

This Zhu Dajie was completely angry. She was going to pull that mop head into the house. Whether it was late or not, she was going to knock on the stair-door one by one. But when she reached out to pull that mop head on the bench, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
When it comes to this, Sister Zhu, like many employers who encounter this kind of incident for the first time, may have been too specific to scare herself again, so she got a cold war and sat down while Mr. Huang was frowning and patting her shoulder for stability. Sister Zhu bit her lip and couldn’t open her mouth, so Hu Zongren told her that it was okay. Everyone here said that you had it, and you made it clear that we would take less detours when we started things.
Sister Zhu calmed down and said that when she just caught the mop head cloth, she felt that the handle was wrong. After careful identification, she found that it was not a mop but hair. Sister Zhu said that it was a woman with long hair like head and feet, and her hands were wet when she pinched it. When she realized that it was hair, she realized that it was wet, not sewage, but blood. Sister Zhu said that she screamed and fell from the bench and sat down while retreating. While staring at the hair hanging from the canopy, I saw that the hair was slowly shrinking back bit by bit, but even if Sister Zhu didn’t want to see it, she couldn’t move her eyes until the hair disappeared. It was as if someone had pulled it away from the edge of the canopy. At this time, she suddenly appeared from the gap and kept staring at her eyes!
Zhu Dajie’s voice trembled a little, saying that I will never forget those eyes in my life. At that time, there were some wet hair outside those eyes. It felt like a woman caught in the rain staring at you with a small mouth. It was terrible. After that, Zhu Dajie’s hands trembled because she picked up the teacup and told me that she was very afraid to switch to someone. I think so, especially this kind of ghost who is rare in a generation.
To tell the truth, I was a little scared by what Sister Zhu said, but it would be unprofessional if you didn’t pretend to be calm in front of the guests. Hu Zongren asked Sister Zhu what happened later? How long did that eye stare at you? Sister Zhu shook her head and said that she screamed when she saw the eyes for a short time, and then she crawled desperately in the direction of her husband. When she got her husband, she looked back and found that the eyes were gone. Sister Zhu said that she was scared and refused to live in the house any more, but Mr. Huang always comforted her and said that she was too tired to explain to Mr. Huang that she had to leave so much malicious words. So Mr. Huang simply cleaned up after her husband, and the sleeping child went out to stay outside the hotel overnight.
Hu Zongren said that you haven’t seen that thing since that day, right? Then why did you call us? Sister Zhu frowned and said that even though she was 100% sure that she was hit by a ghost, she said that she bought this house with her own savings. Although she is a mall manager, her income is not necessarily higher than others. Her husband is a bus driver. The income depends on the passenger traffic on this line. Although the couple are not too nervous, they are definitely not even in the room. She told us that a few days later, she and Mr. Huang asked people around to understand that pedestrians had found a Taoist priest to enter the house. That is to say, this room is too shaqi for seven days, and if it is not exhausted, there will be a great disaster in the future. So after a long time, every room and door entrance has put up a spell. The couple’s bedroom is also a ghost-hitting room, and then the room has specially fastened the window and put up a spell like a seal, telling them not to tear it. So the couple moved back with a grain of salt, and they didn’t dare to sleep in the first few nights. The whole family had a living room and spread the floor. After a few days, they were brave enough to go back to the house, but they were always worried that
Sister Zhu said that just last night, there was no movement for such a long time, but the Taoist priest was awakened in the middle of the night by that inexplicable sound. But this time, I learned for a long time that this sound was definitely not good, so I didn’t dare to open my eyes and pretended not to hear it. Then I slowly turned to my husband and gently shook Mr. Huang up and told him that there was another sound outside. I dare not look at you to help me see what it was.
After that, Sister Zhu shivered in the quilt. Hu Zongren asked Mr. Huang, did you read it? See what? Mr. Huang looked pale and frightened, but he deliberately pretended to be calm and said that I saw a man with a bust hanging upside down from his belly in my awning, just like those people who were listening, but their heads were not upside down, but as if they were trying to twist their heads and look at a woman with blood all over her face in the room.
Mr. Huang said, and she has a long mouth in her stomach.
Chapter 39 [Case 7] Important clues
Have a mouth? Hu Zongren and I said it in unison, and Mr. Huang wondered that when he looked at us, it was obvious that he didn’t think it would be an important clue. In 24 years, I once handled a case in which a female ghost also had a big belly. Finally, I found out whether the woman died of improper operation by an obstetrician, specifically because of overdose of anesthetic or cutting an artery. I forgot that the woman was always dead on the operating table, but the caesarean section child was saved, but life and death were separated forever.
Hu Zongren probably met a similar situation. When Mr. Huang said this sentence, we both thought whether this female ghost was also a woman who died because of a similar incident. After all, didn’t a woman with a mouth first think of caesarean section?
So Hu Zongren told Mr. Huang and Sister Zhu what we thought, and asked them if they were familiar with the fact that pregnant women had died recently, and even the children had not been saved. Mr. Huang was puzzled after listening to this. He said that we didn’t know any pregnant women, and both of us were the youngest in the family, and even our children were almost in middle school. What kind of pregnant women are there? Besides, I saw that female ghost last night who was older than my wife. It can never be pregnant.
Now that Mr. Huang has so firmly rejected it, we can find another way. So Hu Zongren asked Mr. Huang that your wife saw an eye at first, and you also saw half of the body. Tell us what kind of clothes to wear. What are the more distinctive types? Mr. Huang recalled that wearing a pair was gray-green because he was woken up by his wife and turned on the bedside lamp. The light was not very bright. He was not sure whether the color was accurate or not. It always looked more like gray, and because his head and feet had been lifted, he looked dirty and could not tell whether it was blood or dirty clothes.
Hu Zongren stared blankly for a moment and then asked if it was big. I stretched out my leg and kicked him. My little finger hit the tea machine and my foot hurt so much that I almost peed. Hu Zongren quickly changed the subject and said, Is there anything else? Mr. Huang said that there was no one. The couple stayed up all night that night, and the family of three spent the whole night on the floor in the living room. The next morning, they continued to look for the master, which found us both.
Hu Zongren nodded and said that the situation is clear to us. Let’s just check your house first. Sister Zhu looked at us and said that you two look so young. Is it really ok? Can we trust you? Hu Zongren smiled and said to her, Do you have any choice but us now?
According to my usual way, I stopped the rope at the entrance and exit first, and there was a small carpet at the entrance of Zhu Dajie’s house. To be on the safe side, I also spread incense ashes and drew a plaster, and told Zhu Dajie and his wife not to step on this plaster when they went in and out today, no matter whether we can solve all the problems or not. If something came into your house, they would leave traces, footprints or handprints. Then Hu Zongren nodded and agreed, and went to several house doors to check that the previous road was still posted there. Shi Liufu Hu Zongren looked at the other person’s character and said to me, no wonder now we pedestrians are treated as evil spirits. We have been cheated too much and smashed our name. After that, he tore up the character and handed it to me. I also smiled when I saw it. Although the power of the traditional character is not small, it is mostly to prevent it from being suitable for the traditional character. When it comes to treating ghosts at home, it’s really not the same thing. The funniest thing is that this Taoist priest pretends to draw a character without even adding a seal. You should know that most Taoist spells can’t be tangible, but the meaning seal is as important to the Taoist character
However, the wishing spells are somewhat different, because many spells are aimed at different places by groups. For example, anti-snakes, insects, rats and ants, for example, treating burping of catfish bones, all need to be painted and burned with water. So I looked at the symbol, crumpled it up and threw it on the ground, and told the couple that even if you pasted it all over your house, you couldn’t prevent anything.
I continued to follow Hu Zongren from room to room with a compass until I checked the whole room, but I found nothing in this room. Generally speaking, if there is a ghost place, even if it is a canopy outside the house, such as Mr. and Mrs. Huang, there should be something more or less in this room. I didn’t expect to look at the whole room. At present, the only thing I have left is the canopy outside the bedroom. If I don’t say it, it must be a paranormal reaction because Sister Zhu and his wife are good. I witnessed something different there several times, but I still had to be cautious in front of the guests to prove it to them. I risked falling to the 22nd floor and let Hu Zongren hold my leg on the bench. I put the compass near the canopy and before it got close, it spun rapidly. Although I had expected it, I was still taken aback. This kind of forwarding is very resentful.
After I returned to the house, I painted a mirror with incense ashes mixed with water. I found it from Sister Zhu’s dressing table. It was that kind of plastic edge that could stand a small mirror. That’s why I was able to fix it on the windowsill and aim the mirror at the edge of the canopy and the small mouth of the canopy. Sister Zhu asked me why I didn’t seal the small mouth. I told her that my purpose was to let the ghost see the mirror. After everything was checked, Hu Zongren and I both found that it was just this, because no one knew whether the female ghost would come or not today. After seeing me, will I run away immediately? If I really run away this time, it will be more difficult to find it again. So I asked Sister Zhu if there is any way for you to ask the property management to get the key and let me go to the building.
Sister Zhu said that she wasn’t sure, maybe, but even if she got the key, people would send workers to the room on the 23rd floor. Someone could stare at it and do nothing. I thought so, too. I often find another way to handle things when I am not sure. It is precisely because of this that Hu Zongren suddenly shook his head and said that we have little information now, so we can’t be sure whether this ghost will come to her. According to your appearance, it must be a suspicious ghost. Not a pregnant woman, then her death must be terrible, and it will never be because you and your wife are looking for you. Your community is a new house and a new one, unless you damaged someone’s grave when you laid the foundation. But this generation used to be riverside, even if there was a grave, it was too long ago to form such a strong resentment. Even if there was one, you shouldn’t always haunt your family, should you? Mr. Huang said it would be a long time ago, not because he saw that the ghost dress was buttoned, but it looked more like a time dress, similar to a work.
We went back to the living room and had no idea for a while. According to the description of the two victims, the ghost would appear late. At least for now, it seems so. If you want to summon it in broad daylight, it is also very exciting. So Hu Zongren tried to find more information from the couple’s mouth. He asked Mr. Huang and Sister Zhu, did anyone you know die recently? A little familiar
Mr. Huang thought for a moment and said that this is really not the case when the couple have been married for a long time. Most of their relatives and friends overlap. If there is any similarity, the two of them will definitely go to the funeral. If a relative or friend dies without informing them, it’s not much to talk about. Well, at this time, Sister Zhu suddenly seemed to think of something. She was surprised and put her hand over her mouth and looked at Mr. Huang with an awkward look.
Both Hu Zongren and I have seen this kind of expression. We know very well that Sister Zhu must have noticed something new at this time. She is hesitant and struggling in her heart. She is not sure whether this matter has anything to do with what happened to her. So I quickly told Sister Zhu what you know, just say it, regardless of whether there is more news, more reference and more possibility. If we don’t talk, we may be stuck here forever. How can we help you?
I deliberately made the consequences more serious, because many times before, our investigation was troubled by the concealment of the victim, and we took a lot of detours. Sister Zhu was still very uncertain about talking about the dead. Recently, someone around me died, but she was not familiar with me. She was just a colleague.
She paused and said that even her colleagues were not just recruiting some temporary workers in our company. Then Sister Zhu’s face showed a fear expression. She put her hands on her face and cried in panic. Hu Zongren and I both got up and looked at Sister Zhu. After a while, she said, I think I know who she is. She is a cleaner in our company. I don’t know her name!
Hu Zongren asked her when and how she died. Sister Zhu said in a trembling voice that she committed suicide by jumping off a building two months ago.
Chapter 40 [Case 7] Bring ghosts into the sky
I said a long time ago that suicide is bound to be deeply resentful. Killing yourself is as sinful as killing others. No matter what the reason, these dead souls are often too unwilling to feel resentful after death, and most of them choose to continue to drift away from the Buddhists around us. It seems that suicide victims will never live beyond life, although it is not the case. I can say that it will be much more difficult for such ghosts to lead the way and more dangerous than other types of ghosts.
However, a new problem has come before us. Suicide is usually driven by something or someone who has no way out. It seems to be a relief, but in the end, a root can be found among these people and things, and this root is often the object of their revenge. I mean, if it is determined to take revenge, I have experienced various forms of revenge. Although the number of ghosts is not large, most of them commit suicide and die as Sister Zhu. It is said that someone around her recently died of suicide by jumping off a building, and if it is assumed that the female ghost she saw in her canopy was really the suicide, then they must have had a great connection before her death.
So Hu Zongren and I sat down again and told Sister Zhu not to worry and remember well. Sister Zhu told us the specific story.
About July, when the summer vacation came, their shopping mall temporarily added staff to be responsible for replenishment and cleaning and sanitation in the shopping mall. Because the summer vacation was the peak period for student groups, this suicide cleaner elder sister was one of the temporary recruits. Sister Zhu said that she was not impressed with this cleaner herself, that is, she was an ordinary middle-aged woman in her forties who was a little fat. At that age, women were always prone to gain weight and were not honest. That’s all, because most of the temporary workers in the shopping mall were cleaning staff. The conditions at home are very general, either employees in enterprises or migrant workers in cities. These people are willing to do some rough work and heavy work after suffering. On the day of the incident, the cleaner’s elder sister went in and out of the management office for many times and saw her when she went out several times.
Sister Zhu explained that they have a floor management room on each floor, where there are special managers and those who pile up the goods in it, so they can get them directly from where they are out of stock. This office is both a management room and a warehouse, and because she is a senior supervisor, her office and his leader are both on the first floor. When she went to tea to fetch water that day, she saw the cleaning lady wandering outside the door and didn’t see it when she came back, but when she passed by the leadership office, she heard swearing and a burst of laughter from the office. At that time, she didn’t think that the leader might be chatting with friends.
Sister Zhu said that about two minutes later, she heard a man swearing a lot and cursing badly. What was it? As soon as I caught a lot of cheap labor like you, you would fuck off yourself. Out of curiosity, Sister Zhu went to the door of her office and made a small crack in the door. She saw the cleaner’s hands clenched her fists and led the office door with her back against the wall and her face full of grievances and tears, but she was afraid to do anything. Sister Zhu said that she felt that the cleaner was big at that time. My sister is very poor, but because I don’t know what made the leader angry, I didn’t dare to talk when I was working, so I kindly poured a glass of water and knocked on the door to go out and pass by the penalty cleaner’s elder sister, so I reached out and handed her the water, but I hurried to install the toilet without saying a word to her.
Hu Zongren asked Sister Zhu, but didn’t you say you saw that elder sister come and go many times? Sister Zhu said yes. After she came back from the toilet, she deliberately didn’t go to see the cleaner’s eyes, because she thought she might not mind her own business, especially the leader’s, so she went back to the office by herself. However, because of her attention, the leader swore and slammed the door, and other movements were not deliberately heard by Sister Zhu. Even in the office with Sister Zhu, his colleagues said that this elder sister estimated that she could not get away this time, and that our leader was really a person with status. Why did she deliberately make things difficult for this cleaner? Some people said that this cleaner was caught because it was convenient to clean himself in the counter and steal
Sister Zhu told us the truth, I think that even if the cleaning lady stole something, then how to deal with it can be handed over to the public security or the police for investigation. This kind of personal abuse and corporal punishment is still a bit too much, even if the elder sister is really a thief with bad morals, but at least her personality is equal to ours.
I quite agree with Sister Zhu’s remarks. Even when I first entered the house, I didn’t like her very much. When I didn’t buy a car a few years ago, I once took my parents out to play with the car by bus, and I met a thief. He was stealing a mobile phone from a passenger’s bag not far in front of my father. My father was also a grumpy man. As soon as he got up, he got up to catch the thief. However, as everyone knows, the thief will definitely not haunt the car alone, and his accomplices will not come out to help my father. The thief probably looked at my father’s age and then Everyone, including the victim, was indifferent, so I got arrogant and pushed my dad a few times, so I got angry and rushed to the front to beat the thief to the ground. Finally, I knocked him out because his hand was not heavy. I also left a black background at the police station that day. I was once very puzzled about what I was doing to punish the bad guys. Instead, my dad told me that no matter what this man did wrong, you could not punish others in your own way, because even though he was a thief, his personality was the same as ours.
So when Sister Zhu said this sentence, I couldn’t help silently praising Sister Zhu, and then said that she was at the door until she went to check with the management of each floor at noon that day. Maybe she was grateful to Sister Zhu for her glass of water. When Sister Zhu passed by, she said that although she looked sad, she smiled at herself. When she was still checking several floors back and forth, a shop assistant on the first floor told another shop assistant that there were many police cars and 12 ambulances coming. Someone jumped off the building here.
Sister Zhu told us that she didn’t expect that the jumper would be the cleaner who handed water earlier, and she only looked out the window when she followed others to watch the fun. She found a middle-aged woman in gray-white cleaner’s black pants and black women’s shoes lying on the ground outside the sightseeing ladder of their department store, and her stomach was cracked because of a high fall. There was a long mouth and she could see the intestines inside.
After that, Sister Zhu looked at Mr. Huang and said, "Last night, you saw that woman with a mouth, so it was probably her. But when will she come to me?"? It’s not like I killed her. I met her several times before that. I was at the door of the leadership office. I don’t know if I was looking for a leader. I don’t even know her. Besides, I treated her well and gave her water. I really can’t figure it out!
To tell the truth, I can’t figure out that there are many kinds of ghosts just like people’s personalities. Most people who commit suicide will take revenge, but they will find someone who is in close contact with them and say that it is not like a glass of water, which is not much kindness. Moreover, I am afraid this way of repaying kindness is a bit too different.
So Hu Zongren and I guessed that this female ghost, not surprisingly, was that Sister Zhu said that this cleaner was the eldest sister. Hu Zongren asked Sister Zhu what did you say after the police investigated the cause of death? Since the verdict was suicide, it must have found the motive for suicide. Sister Zhu sighed and said, what else can we say? Isn’t it just that our leader is harsh and tricky and deliberately makes it difficult for people to work at the bottom?
I leaned into Hu Zongren’s ear and asked him what we should do now. This ghost is suicide and must be taken away. But I’m worried that we may not be able to take it away. It’s been several months since it happened, and it’s already over 49 days. When we are a little rational, this kind of ghost will certainly have great power. It’s the 22nd floor again. Hu Zongren frowned and asked me, why don’t we try ask m again like that little boy? I said that the children didn’t resist themselves. Do you think this female suicide ghost will honestly let you ask m? Hu Zongren said, what shall we do? I said, how about this? Let these two live outside tonight. Let’s live at home tonight and play it by ear at night.
So Hu Zongren and I spent a long time repeatedly assuring Sister Zhu that we would never touch their things, and also mortgaged both our ID cards to Sister Zhu. Only then did they promise to let us stay at her house tonight. At dinner time, they invited us to eat fish in a barge by the river, and then we personally took them to the hotel to get the key to the room. After that, Sister Zhu asked me how to ensure that this female ghost would definitely touch her tonight?
Hu Zongren gave me a look and said to Sister Zhu, Don’t worry. I can’t guarantee that I can catch her before I catch her, but we can still do it to lure her out.
Chapter 41 [Case 7] Gaoye
As there is still a short time before 11 pm, Hu Zongren and I bought some beer and shrimps from the small shop at the entrance of the community. We planned to satisfy our hunger later if we were hungry, and we also called Sister Cai and Fu Yunni respectively. We won’t go back tonight because the two ladies know that Hu Zongren and I belong to courageous guys. They are also very relieved that we won’t be home all night. We also made a detour to the hardware grocery store to buy some candles, gypsum powder and a bundle of relatively strong hemp rope.
After returning to Sister Zhu’s house, we made some necessary preparations. I first hit the sliding door on the balcony and then hit the kitchen window to make the whole room ventilate, but I still nailed the rope ends at every entrance and exit, such as the door and window. This is to avoid the ghost calling and entering the house through these channels. For a ghost who committed suicide and caused death, it is better for us to fix the route so as to avoid complications. If we fight, we can do something about it. After handling the house, I just left Sister Zhu’s bedroom window untouched, and drew a spread on the ground from the window. This is to ensure that when
We have prepared beer until about 1 pm, although we say that we will act according to circumstances, but in fact, we have discussed many countermeasures with each other for such a long time. Now we have several things to achieve, otherwise there will be no way to control this female ghost. The first is that we must find a way to draw it out, because we are not related to it, but we also blame Sister Zhu for not being at home. It is really unreasonable for us to show it. Since it is continuous, we must come up with a trick to make it hook. Almost every month, the top of the canopy of Sister Zhu’s house appeared at intervals, saying that it arrived at this canopy from a certain path, and that path must have its residual paranormal reaction. With the response, we should be able to attract it.
The second thing we have to achieve is that we have to get it into the house because we can’t get the key to the 23rd floor, and this is the 22nd floor, where neither Hu Zongren nor I have learned to levitate this cool skill. We must have a foothold to chant incantations and send souls to other places except Sister Zhu’s bedroom, but I believe that suicide ghosts will not willingly follow us in. In other words, we may have to "catch" it in. If the first two conditions are met, the third and the most crucial step will be taken. We have to send it away. Before that, we should try our best to resolve its resentment and let it go. Otherwise, even if we go, we will not walk cleanly. Then we will kill a comeback, and Hu Zongren and I can’t stand it.
So we lost sight and took all the tools to Sister Zhu’s room and put them on the bed. Hu Zongren took out two thick white candles and lit them on both sides of the window edge. Then Hu Zongren went to Sister Zhu’s kitchen to find a big white radish, then split it in half and put the section flat. Then he took out a large handful of incense and lit it together. After inserting the radish, it doesn’t have to be radish soap or even plastic foam. It needs to be able to hold the incense.
Hu Zongren took out gypsum powder from the pile of things he bought before, and then stirred his saliva a little on the windowsill to seal the gap in the canopy. Then he grabbed a handful of dry gypsum powder and blew it to the side of the canopy in his hand. For a moment, white powder flew everywhere. I covered my nose with my hand, but I didn’t blame Hu Zongren for his poor powder blowing technique, because I knew he was doing this to benefit this powder, but there were things that were easier to see. Ghosts in the medium, like people, would affect the surrounding area because of their body movements, which led to subtlety. The changing gypsum powder has almost no weight, and it is also the most susceptible. If the female ghost appears later, raising these powders before the energy field can give us a few more seconds to predict.
It’s fascinating to light incense, because Hu Zongren and I guessed that the location of the 22nd floor would not be near the ghost except the female ghost accident. If this incense can be fascinating, it will hook the female ghost in nine cases, but this alone is not enough. I said that we must find a way to draw it out. This requires us to guess according to Sister Zhu’s description of the cause of death and death of this person. If I choose to jump off a building to commit suicide because I want to avoid being insulted and humiliated by the leadership ceremony. Then those words must have hurt its heart very much. Considering that they are cleaning staff, as Sister Zhu said, most of them are migrant workers or employees in enterprises. Perhaps it is because they have not had a good life in the past that they have come to do this job with heavy income and low price. Hu Zongren and I guessed how much the department store leader must have insulted the cleaning staff at that time. These places satirized her, so Hu Zongren and I planned to play a play later, which made the female ghost appear.
Hu Zongren dismantled the roll of hemp rope and threw it to me. I was always curious about why Hu Zongren bought such a roll of hemp rope at that time. I also wondered if their Yaoshan Sect had any special techniques to tie ghosts with hemp rope. Who knows that he actually asked me to set the rope at the moment? Hu Zongren told me that I overlapped the rope by three strands. I will tie the sanitary hose at the other end later. When you set the waist, you will lean out and wait until the female ghost appears, you will catch it with the rope and pull it in.
What? You’ve been doing this for a long time, and you’re still preparing it for me! Besides, it’s dark and it’s a loss on the 22nd floor. So I scolded Hu Zongren and said, Brother, wake up. You know I will never do such a dangerous thing. You just told me why you didn’t go by yourself. Hu Zongren said with a smile that I am afraid of heights … you fart! I scolded why you didn’t say you were afraid of heights when that dangerous house pulled cliff shit! I threw the rope on the bed and refused to say anything. Hu Zongren told me that you are smaller and lighter than me. There are only two people here. If you really don’t want to, I will call Fu Yunni to come over. I know he is deliberately arrogant. I also know that he said this is the best way to catch the female ghost at the first time, but I have no professional experience. I don’t even know how to tie the rope to myself.
So I stopped talking. I knew that I had to be uneasy this time. We went to the health center to pee first. By the way, let’s see if that water pipe was firm. Is that thick iron pipe enough to bear my body weight? After a pause, I studied how to tie a rope to myself. Hu Zongren enthusiastically helped me. He quickly tied it for me. I earned it hard. It was really firm. So I asked Hu Zongren, who taught you how to tie a knot?
Hu Zongren said no one taught me. I learned from my shadow. I asked him what shadow … forget it. I didn’t say hello
