Zhong Kui's Diary
This woman is actually the number one expert of the Ma Family, Xi Shaohua. She is the girl who sat next to Ma Xingrui when Ma Zhenkai invited us to dinner.
"Aren't you that Xi Shaohua, the one with the same surname as Xi?" Fatty exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes," Xi Shaohua chuckled lightly, revealing her pearly white teeth, then covered her mouth with the back of her hand. Her demeanor was charmingly innocent; could this really be the top expert of the Ma Family?
Soon, Xi Shaohua lowered her hand and resumed a professional smile. "Are you here to see President Ma?"
The receptionist, seeing that Xi Shaohua recognized us, widened her beautiful eyes in shock. "Xi Assistant, they... they just came to use the restroom."
Xi Shaohua smiled sweetly at the receptionist. "It's fine; this is none of your concern. These people are guests of President Ma; I'm just joking with you. I'll take them inside."
With that, she gestured for us to enter. The three of us exchanged glances and followed Xi Shaohua inside.
In the middle of the office area was a large hall, partitioned into many offices filled with formally dressed staff. Surrounding it were well-decorated offices, each door marked with stainless steel signs indicating titles like Finance Director and Media Director.
Xi Shaohua led us to the chairman's office door and knocked lightly twice. A voice from inside called out, "Come in!"
Pushing the door open, we found Ma Zhenkai deep in thought at a large desk, looking at his computer. He was momentarily surprised to see us but quickly stood up with a smile and walked over to shake my hand. "Zheng Nan, what brings you here?"
"We... we came to use the restroom; do you believe that?" We sat down on the sofa while Xi Shaohua poured us some water and stepped outside.
Ma Zhenkai didn't respond to that but smiled and asked, "Are you here regarding Chen Fei'er?"
It was not surprising for Ma Zhenkai to ask this, considering that Chen Fei'er's incident occurred in this building's elevator. When Ma Xingrui consulted him about it, he must have already disclosed everything. However, their main purpose for contacting me was likely to deter Moon City Taoism; they hadn't mentioned Chen Fei'er's death much at all. Because of this, we had no idea that Ma Zhenkai's company was located on the top floor of this building.
Uh, could it be that the main characters in 'Final Showdown in the Restroom' are Ma Zhenkai and Xi Shaohua? One is the boss and the other is the Secretary, and a thought flashed through my mind.
Thinking of this, I stood up directly: "No way, I can't hold it anymore, I have to go to the restroom!"
Ma Zhenkai smiled: "Turn right when you go out, walk straight ahead, and you'll see the restroom sign."
I winked at Fatty and the others. Fatty Kong Xuan understood and also got up. Fatty laughed: "Ghost Brother, don't hog it all... uh, I mean, let's all go together; it's more lively with more people!"
After the three of us reached the restroom, we realized a frustrating problem. Since Baisheng Building is an L-shaped structure, the men's restroom was actually facing another direction, and we couldn't see the top floor of the building from outside. It dawned on us that what Fatty and Kong Xuan had seen earlier was a woman, which must have been from the women's restroom side.
"What should we do? Should we pretend it's our first time here and can't tell which is which?" Fatty suggested they feign ignorance and just rush into the women's restroom.
Kong Xuan shook his head: "There's a big sign at the entrance saying 'Men's Restroom' and 'Women's Restroom.' Can't you read?"
Fatty raised an eyebrow dismissively: "What's with all this nonsense? Just watch me!"
He stepped outside, knocked on the door of the women's restroom, and called out: "Is anyone there?"
No one responded from inside, so he repeated himself and pushed the door open.
I followed behind Fatty in shock, while Kong Xuan exclaimed: "Fatty, I've done all sorts of bad things in my life, but I've never entered a women's restroom. Thank you! I feel like my life is getting more perfect. By the way, what if a woman comes in?"
"Then I'll just pretend I can't read!" Fatty chuckled.
I walked over to the window and looked up, immediately cursing under my breath.
Looking outside from my position, although I could see the top of the building, it was clear that it was not the location of the restroom we had previously observed, but rather the cooling tower of the central air conditioning system on the roof. There was no way for anyone to go up there.
What was going on?
Before I could think much about it, Kong Xuan softly exclaimed and walked over to my side. With her right hand, she formed a spell and drew a few symbols in the air. A faint charm appeared, and Kong Xuan pointed at it, directly throwing the charm onto the window glass. I watched as ripples spread across the glass surface, and moments later, the scene on the rooftop came into view.
"What’s happening?" I asked in surprise.
"This glass has been enchanted with a formation called 'Cloud Cover.' From outside looking in, everything seems normal, but when looking out from inside, your vision is refracted. For example, if we were standing in our previous position, we could see inside the restroom, but those inside wouldn’t be able to see us."
I was greatly puzzled. "What does this mean? Was the person who cast this spell on the glass a Peeping Tom? I can't find any other explanation."
The three of them did not delve deeper into the discussion and hurriedly retreated. After all, this was in the women's restroom, and with it nearing closing time, there could be female employees coming in at any moment. Explaining this situation would be quite awkward.
Back in Ma Zhenkai's office, after chatting casually for a bit, I subtly asked if Ma Xingrui also worked there. Ma Zhenkai shook his head and said, "I have my own company; he has his own company. How could he possibly work here? However, since we are from the same family, there will definitely be business interactions. He comes by two or three times a week."
Looking at the time, it was already six in the afternoon. I quickly stood up to bid farewell to Ma Zhenkai. He insisted on treating us to dinner, but I politely declined his invitation by saying I had other matters to attend to. The three of us left his office.
"You guys, is that female ghost real? Did she see Ma Zhenkai and Xi Shaohua?" Once we entered the elevator and saw that there were no other people inside, I asked with a smile.
"I think it's real. If I were the boss, I would never let a secretary like that get away," Fatty said seriously.
"Come on, weren't you flirting with Xi Shaohua? Isn’t that Ma Xingrui?" I shot Fatty a disdainful glance.
"Didn’t you hear? Ma Xingrui comes over several times a week; it's not surprising if he and Xi Shaohua are performing some adult film scenes in the restroom," Fatty paused for a moment before suddenly laughing and added, "I wonder if Ma Zhenkai has installed cameras in his company. If he did, watching the footage would clear everything up."
"Yes!" I nodded in response, but my eyes instinctively glanced at the camera inside the elevator, and I suddenly realized, "Right, I almost forgot about something. There are cameras in this elevator. We can check the video footage to see how Du Weidong and Qin Zhicheng died!"
Fatty scratched his head and said, "I'm Ghost Brother, and Chen Fei'er is the murderer, right? Do you really need to verify that again?"
I pointed at Kong Xuan and said, "We need our Master Kong to observe this ghost's methods. Knowing both ourselves and our enemy ensures victory in every battle. Although Master Kong is very powerful, it's always good to understand the opponent better."
Kong Xuan was flattered by my compliment and immediately felt elated, saying, "That makes sense!"
We exited the elevator on the sixth floor; we still needed to find Kang Qin. However, when we stepped out, we found that the entire sixth floor was empty. The elevator had also been unblocked and was now operating normally. It was likely that this was the time when people were getting off work; an extra elevator would relieve some pressure.
I quickly took out my phone to call Kang Qin, wanting to check the elevator surveillance footage. To my surprise, Kang Qin laughed and said he was also watching the footage. He instructed us to go down to the parking lot on the first basement level; after exiting the elevator, we should turn right and walk straight to find the Machine Room.
I pressed the elevator button, and soon with a ding, the elevator doors opened in front of us. Inside stood a woman whose figure... could rival Fatty's. Her face was pale, and upon seeing us, she immediately patted her chest and exclaimed, "You scared me! You really scared me!"
I touched my nose, feeling a bit confused. "Miss, although we're not exactly handsome guys, we can't be ugly enough to scare you to death, can we?"
"That's not it!" After we entered the elevator, she pressed the close door button and said with lingering fear, "You know that three people have already died in this elevator on the sixth floor. If I weren't in a hurry to go on a date, I wouldn't dare take this elevator even if you paid me! Can't you see I'm the only one in here? This is rush hour after work."
She then patted her chest again, her ample bosom trembling slightly.
"Heh heh, you do have quite a bit of courage," I smiled as I pressed the button for the first basement level.
"You three almost scared me to death by taking the elevator on the sixth floor!" The Fat Woman shot me a glare while rubbing her chest. Her eyes unexpectedly sparkled with charm as she added, "If you scare me too badly, you'll have to compensate me."
I chuckled but didn't say anything more; however, goosebumps were rising all over my body. Lady, look at this Fatty next to me—he's quite handsome too! Why don't you target him instead?
I don't have a bias against the Fat Woman, but... damn it, if you're fat, you need to admit it. Your arms are as big as mine, and your thighs are even thicker. Yet you still act all delicate. With a body like that, being delicate around people could be dangerous. Even that scumbag Fatty, who has no humanity despite having the opposite sex, remains silent, his eyes fixed upward as if staring at the decorations on the elevator ceiling, as if they were old friends he hadn't seen in years.
"By the way, are you married?" The Fat Woman blinked her eyes at me.
"Not yet!" I replied casually.
"Actually, I'm in such a hurry to get off because I have to deal with blind dates. It's so annoying! I believe in love at first sight and prefer free love..." The Fat Woman winked at me and shyly lowered her head.
Round eyes? My eyes are not round at all. That scruffy middle-aged man over there has rounder eyes; why don't you go talk to him? I glared at the elevator, cursing under my breath about how slow it was.
Finally, the elevator stopped on the first floor. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, repeatedly chanting in my mind: open sesame, peanut open, sunflower seed open, red bean green bean black bean all come open, hurry up and send her away. Goodbye, fat girl; your match is waiting for you on your blind date.
What the hell? Why isn't this elevator opening? I reached out and frantically pressed the open button, but the elevator doors showed no sign of responding.
Fatty and Kong Xuan both exclaimed in surprise, seemingly puzzled as well.
The Fat Woman behind me trembled and said, "Wh-what's going on?"
Before she could finish her sentence, the lights inside the elevator flickered twice and then went out completely, plunging us into darkness.
