"You haven't seen that dog before?"

"No, I've never seen one. It's a pug. The barking is a little different. I remember, the barking I heard before was that of a big dog. The dog was quite small. I just heard that The dog was barking at the living room. I couldn't see anything from that location... I called the property manager and waited for the property manager to come over. When we were at the door, we all heard the dog inside. It was quite loud. After knocking on the door, no one answered. After checking, the owners were a young couple, probably similar to our family. They were a few years younger than my husband and I. They probably didn’t have any children. We all went to work, so we left the dog at home. The management called them, and they were very polite. Later, they came back from get off work early and went to the management to apologize and explain. I heard that the dog belonged to their parents. Their parents went back to their hometown to visit their relatives, and they took care of their dog. It’s only the first day they’ve been here.”

"So this is not the dog you heard about before?"

"Probably...I don't know. Someone in the property management said that this matter is uncertain. Maybe they already have dogs. They didn't admit it when I asked them a few times. Now they are looking for an excuse...I think that the dog is called The sound is a little different..."

"What happens after that?"

"After that, some time passed, and it was a rainy day. I stayed at home and heard a lot of dogs barking in the building. Not one dog, but several. An old man opened the balcony and cursed people. I stood I looked at the balcony and couldn't see anything... Then, a few days later, maybe a week or two... I heard a dog barking, so I went to the balcony to see that it was the pug of the family downstairs. There was a cage on the balcony, inside the pug house. The dog kept barking into the house... I looked at it for a long time... It seemed like there was something inside the house... It was just a feeling that I couldn't see inside the house. In the living room, the dog looked like there was something in the living room. After barking for a while, it seemed to be frightened, and it even retreated and made the kind of barking sound it made after being beaten... I I can’t tell. My first reaction was that there was a thief in that family. The security here should be pretty good. I also thought about that old man..."

"What did you think of?"

"Oh, I just thought about that day when the old man cursed people and said that he wanted to poison all the dogs, skin them and so on... I was just thinking a little bit."

"How did you handle it?"

"I called the police. I didn't say it was a nuisance to the residents. I said it was a thief. When the police came, they broke into the door and contacted the couple..."

"Then what?"

"...When we got to the door, when the police arrived at the door, we could still hear a little barking of dogs. The police came very quickly, less than ten minutes. They brought a locksmith. It only took that little time... The policeman also said that there was no sign that the door lock had been broken. I didn't understand this... I just stood behind the property owner and didn't get close to them. I didn't follow them the moment they opened the door. Well, after the door opened, the dog stopped barking. I thought it was because the dog saw the person and stopped barking... I don't know... I actually don't know what happened. After they entered, someone cursed. The police told us not to go in. They were very serious and even called someone from the technical department to come over. I didn't see anything at the door. The woman in the couple came back and was quite unhappy. When she saw me, she probably thought I was causing trouble again, with that look in her eyes... But she was pulled aside by the police and said something, and after taking another look, I vomited. I only heard the sound of her vomiting and crying. I didn't know what was going on... The police asked me to take notes, and then more and more people came, so I went home. "

"Um."

"After I got home, I stood on the balcony and watched. There were quite a lot of people on the balcony. There were people at home and some watching the fun. From my position, I saw the dog cage... There was blood in the dog cage... It's all red... The floor of the balcony is also red. The dog is missing... it's a little hairy... maybe... it's all stained with blood. I don't know if it's... there are still clothes hanging on the balcony. There was something like that on the clothes and the glass windows... I heard a lot of people talking on the balcony, saying something was wrong, and some people were asking what was going on. Some people said the dog had been killed. I thought about it before. After hearing the scolding old man, others also thought about it. Some people shouted to the police on the balcony. Later, I heard from other people in the community that the old man was the father of a family on the eighth floor and his grandson was sick and came to visit. My grandson was sleeping at noon. When he heard the dog barking, he ran to the balcony and scolded him. "

"What are the results of the police investigation?"

"They said they couldn't find it. The door and the windows were not opened. I don't know how people got in or how they got out. Many people came to ask me... My husband also asked me if I saw it wrong. I... ...I don’t know...I can see and hear it clearly. I clearly saw the dog...I also saw it when the police came in. I don’t know what it was about. What happened... I felt scared afterwards. Anyway, it was not good for the dog to be... to be... done by something like that. I originally didn't want to stay at home at noon, but I found it temporarily. It’s not a very good job. I work as a salesperson in a small store near my home. I just don’t want to stay at home..."

"You haven't encountered anything like this since you left home during the day?"

"No. The neighborhood where I live might be..."

"What happened to the community later?"

"I just heard from people that it's not just our building. The news about our building is very popular. The couple may hate the house on the eighth floor, or they may think that it's the house next door to theirs. The distance between the two balconies of one household is about five meters, and there are two air conditioners in the middle, so you can climb over. Anyway, that's it. His parents were still in our building after they came back from their hometown. After putting up stickers, they yelled at each other for a long time, and they even splashed paint on their doors. My husband said it was lucky that I wasn't hated, and similar things happened in other buildings during the day. At that time, I didn’t know which house’s dog kept barking. If this happened again, everyone was afraid. The police had come several times and there were fewer people walking dogs in our community. They all seemed to have sent the dogs away. "

"So, things should have stopped, right?"

"No...no...not at all...no..."

"Are you okay?"

"I...I don't know how to say...I haven't told anyone about this matter at home. I don't know if there is something wrong with me...I thought there might be something wrong with me. I secretly went to see I have been a doctor. I also burned incense in the temple and donated money to that pug..."

"What happened to you, Ms. Qiu?"

"I...I saw the dog...I saw the pug..."
