I deliver food in a bizarre world

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Mingyu drove his black SUV, carrying Chen Mo, Li Wenjing, and Su Yifan, to the Peninsula Coffee Shop where he had arranged to meet Wang Jianguo.

They chose a relatively secluded booth.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a wrinkled suit and with a pale face walked over.

He was like a frightened bird, his eyes sunken, his steps hurried, and he looked around as soon as he entered, his brows filled with fear and unease.

Li Wenjing stood up and waved to him.

"Mr. Wang, this way."

The two had never met, but Li Wenjing was absolutely certain that the other person was Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo practically staggered over, his hands gripping the table tightly, his fingers causing the table to tremble.

"You...you're from the agency?"

He didn't speak loudly because he was afraid of attracting attention.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I am Li Wenjing, this is our manager Chen Mo, and these two are Su Yifan and Zhou Mingyu."

Li Wenjing introduced everyone, and whether it was because of her calm tone or the calm expressions of everyone, Wang Jianguo's emotions stabilized considerably.

"Please have some coffee first, calm down, and then tell us about your situation in as much detail as possible."

Zhou Mingyu took out a voice recorder.

"Do we still need to record this?" Wang Jianguo asked somewhat reluctantly.

"Yes, we will also record videos because we need to analyze some content repeatedly. We can't miss any intelligence. Perhaps a crucial clue is hidden in some inconspicuous detail."

Li Wenjing smiled and explained the studio's rules.

"You should have read our terms and conditions, and I believe you understand that matters concerning paranormal events are not child's play. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be dire."

"For your sake and for ours as well, we have to proceed with caution. But rest assured, no information will be leaked. All the data will be sealed and no outsiders will know about it."

"Okay... fine!" Wang Jianguo reluctantly accepted this explanation.

"Okay, please describe it in more detail. Don't leave out any details, such as the exact appearance of the car, the specific features of the woman's shadow, and the sounds you heard and the scenes you saw. Perhaps one of these pieces of information is the key clue."

Under Li Wenjing's professional and patient guidance, Wang Jianguo recounted his experience again, albeit in a halting manner, this time in great detail.

The minibus was an old-fashioned model, the kind with a boxy shape, which evoked Chen Mo's memories.

He remembered that under the streetlights, the car's paint was mottled, but most of it was dark red, with some areas showing the primer, as if it had been severely scratched.

The minibus that Wang Jianguo described was exactly the same as the one Chen Mo encountered.

The woman's crying that Wang Jianguo heard on the first night was also very strange. It wasn't a loud wail, but a kind of sobbing, a continuous whimpering, as if it were echoing in his heart, making people feel uneasy.

He pondered it repeatedly, and then added some more details.

At the time, the rotting smell that accompanied the minibus was not only a strong rust smell, but also a smell similar to formaldehyde, the kind used in hospitals to preserve specimens, which was very pungent.

As for the woman's shadow, he couldn't see it very clearly.

All I remember is that she had very long hair that covered her face, and she was wearing all white clothes. Because of the distance, I couldn't tell if it was a dress or a robe, or maybe even a bed sheet...

She stood in the same spot as a ticket seller, without moving.

He couldn't recall that the first night was pitch black, so why he could see the woman in the car the next day and remember her face so clearly.

Could it be because the car was parked under a streetlight?

He was so terrified at the time that he had no other memory whatsoever besides fear.

"I...I've checked..."

Wang Jianguo shakily took out his phone, pulled up the browser history, and handed it to Chen Mo and the others.

"I looked up that No. 7 Textile Factory. The factory went bankrupt many years ago, and that dead-end road was also blocked at that time."

"It is said...it is said that a disaster happened in the factory back then."

Li Wenjing immediately asked, "Could you tell me in detail what happened?"

"It seems...it seems to be a company bus that transports female factory workers to and from get off work. I don't know where it got into an accident...a lot of people died..."

"That's all I know; the rest has been sealed away..."

"Because it was so long ago, and the internet wasn't widespread back then, it's estimated that only the National Security Bureau had all the information."

This news caused everyone to exchange glances, and Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

The recurring appearance of paranormal vehicles at historical accident sites aligns with the characteristics of many vengeful spirits gathering and strange occurrences recurring.

Su Yifan asked, "Mr. Wang, besides taking that road recently, have you come into contact with anything unusual? Or have you offended anyone?"

Due to his occupational habits, his perspective tends to lean more towards finding human factors or certain triggering conditions.

Wang Jianguo shook his head blankly: "No... I'm just an ordinary office worker, going back and forth between the company and home every day, nothing special... I haven't offended anyone..."

Li Wenjing carefully took notes and then asked Wang Jianguo for his address, workplace, and other basic information, as well as the specific times when he first and second saw the minibus.

Throughout the questioning, Su Yifan, Zhou Mingyu, and Chen Mo listened quietly for most of the time, observing Wang Jianguo's expression, tone of voice, and subtle movements.

The three exchanged a glance, and were basically certain that the other person was not lying.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Wang. We understand the situation."

Finally, the four exchanged glances for a while, Chen Mo nodded, Li Wenjing closed her notebook and looked at Wang Jianguo.

"Mr. Wang, our firm has taken on this case. According to procedure, we need to sign an engagement agreement, and you will need to prepay a portion of the investigation initiation fee."

"I will send you the specific fee schedule and agreement details later. If you have no objections, we will officially begin the investigation."

"No problem, no problem! I'll pay whatever it takes! As long as you can help me get rid of this car!" Wang Jianguo readily agreed.

He's willing to do anything to solve his problem.

"Okay. Please go back and rest, and keep your phone accessible. We will begin the next step of the operation immediately."

"Please be sure to avoid that road before we contact you, and try not to go out alone at night," Li Wenjing reminded her again.

Wang Jianguo left after expressing his gratitude profusely, but he still looked shaken.

Su Yifan couldn't help but complain, "I hope that when he sees the quote, he won't instantly recover like a person with depression seeing a bill..."

Chen Mo gave him a light kick: "Go away, don't joke about this."
