Many people choose to live alone after graduation and work. After all, being alone is really enjoyable.
However, there is also a very serious problem when living alone - safety.
Japanese artist Ai Sakurada recalled her experience of living alone a few years ago in the show, and she still felt waves of fear.
Like many people who go to prosperous cities to work hard, the girl went to Tokyo alone to work hard and settled in a single apartment.
But because of her busy work, the girl usually goes home to sleep at night.
However, after moving in for a period of time, something strange happened - the electricity bill of suddenly jumped five times.
Obviously, the electricity consumption is the same as before when I go home and sleep at night. Why has it increased so much all of a sudden?
was puzzled, but the girl didn’t think too much, thinking that the newly purchased air conditioner was starting to consume electricity. After all,
is here to work hard. Seeing that the electricity bill is so high, the girl can only choose to save as much as she can.
So, every time after that, before going out, the girl would unplug and wait.
I just never expected that the electricity bill would still be as high in the next three months.
Is there something wrong with the power company's meter?
The girl had no choice but to ask the power company for help, and asked the staff to come to repair it. After some inspection, the master told the girl that there was nothing wrong with .
At this time, a work colleague made an unintentional joke: No one is secretly using your battery at your house, right?
's words woke up the dreamer, and the girl also began to have this idea.
Feeling anxious and uneasy, do you want to move immediately?
No, considering that money is tight and moving is troublesome, the girl chose to stay and observe for a while.
After this observation, the girl began to notice more and more strange things happening at home.
For example, every time a girl goes out to work, she hangs the air conditioner remote control on the wall, but when she comes back at night, she finds it actually on the table.
I may have misremembered this situation once, but it will be like this for the next few days! The girl
suddenly remembered what her colleague said, so she immediately asked her colleague for help.
A colleague suggested that the girl put a thin string at the entrance of the door, so that if someone enters the house, the string will be broken and leave traces.
girl did so, but the thin line was not touched in the next few days, which was really strange.
Until one day, when the girl was drying clothes, she habitually put the bear on the table facing the wall.
When I got home from get off work, I suddenly found that the bear had his back to the wall!
It’s so scary!
girl started to feel like someone was staring at her.
Not long after, the girl came home from get off work early and found some strange footprints on the bathroom floor, and there were traces of tampering on the ceiling!
The girl immediately called the police. After investigation, the police discovered that there were some food garbage bags on the ceiling of the bathroom.
Later, the police found several cameras and bugs in the home, which means that the girl's every move was being monitored and monitored by one person.
And that person probably lives on the bathroom ceiling! Scared to death!
Unfortunately, the so-called suspect was not caught and brought to justice in the end, and the girl also chose to move immediately out of fear.
Until now, the girl is still scared of what happened before.
Therefore, everyone must pay attention to safety when living alone! ! ! Remember to call the police if you find any suspicious signs!
