Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Man-Eating Yard

Ge Minkai is in the dried fruit business, and he has to go to Urumqi every other day to buy some goods, and he can usually go back on the same day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but that day just in time for the highway closure, the shuttle bus was suspended, so he had to stay in Urumqi for one night and then come back.

When he returned the next morning, he found his daughter-in-law hanging herself at home. In the words of the neighbor's eldest sister, Ge Minkai's daughter-in-law's tongue can be pulled out half a foot long!

Fortunately, the day before her mother-in-law came to see her grandson, his son had to go to his grandmother's house to play, so Ge Minkai and his mother-in-law took his son away, otherwise he didn't know what would have happened?

When the police came, they saw the scene and decided that it was a suicide, and they were hastily dragged to the crematorium...... After Ge Minkai lost his wife, he didn't want to live in this courtyard anymore, so he set a very cheap price, hoping to sell it as soon as possible, and he also moved to another place with his son.

After that, it was empty for many years and no one lived in it, until last year, when a family surnamed Zhou suddenly moved in, their whole family is from Gansu, and they came here to do dried fruit business, because they got along well with Ge Minkai, who was doing business together, he lent them this yard for a period of time, and then moved until they found a suitable house.

This family of four surnamed Zhou, a husband and wife with a pair of children, they have lived here for almost three months, but since the day before yesterday, the eldest sister found that the door of the house was locked, and the door was also posted on the house for sale!

I listened to the neighbor's eldest sister tell me so much about the past of this house, and I became even more curious about what had happened inside!

Uncle Li thought about it and said to the eldest sister, "Then do you have this Ge Minkai's phone number, we want to see the house tomorrow." ”

The neighbor's eldest sister was stunned for a moment and said, "You really want to rent here! I can tell you, this place is really evil!"

Uncle Li smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we don't live in people, we just use it as a warehouse." ”

The eldest sister said with peace of mind when she heard this: "That's okay, as long as you don't live in people, it should be fine, to be honest, if it weren't for the bad conditions of my family now, I would have moved away a long time ago, look at how many families are there in this alley?

After leaving my eldest sister's house, we stood in front of the gate of the courtyard for a while, and made sure that there were no bodies inside, and I really wanted to go in and see what kind of courtyard this was, and how many people could lose their lives......

The eldest sister gave us the phone number of the landlord Ge Minkai, and after Uncle Li dialed, the other party immediately made an appointment for tomorrow as soon as he heard that he wanted to see the house, it seems that this guy is really in a hurry to make a move!

After returning to the guest house, Uncle Li repeatedly explained to me that even if you see something tomorrow, don't say it on the spot, in fact, I don't need him to say it, I know, I'm not stupid, although I have less social experience, but I won't be stupid to this extent!?

Early the next morning, we drove to the courtyard, and as soon as we got out of the car, we saw a middle-aged man waiting at the door, no need to ask, it must be Ge Minkai. This guy has the physique of a typical Xinjiang man, tall, strong, and with a shiny face.

The middle-aged man took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake Uncle Li's hand, and then said to him with a smile: "Hello, you are Mr. Li!"

Uncle Li said politely: "I am, you are...... Ge Minkai?"

Ge Minkai nodded, "Yes, it's me, I didn't know the bottom of my heart after I received your call yesterday, I'm afraid that coming here this morning will be empty and happy......"

As soon as I heard it, I thought to myself, it seems that this guy himself knows very well, and he knows that there is a problem with this house. So I tentatively asked, "What do you mean, why are you afraid of rejoicing in the air?"

Ge Minkai rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said, "Although several of them are bosses from other places, but I am a real person, I will never deceive people, this house has died before, so I have kept the price very low, I can pack the ticket, you really can't buy a cheaper house than here in the local area!"

Uncle Li saw that he was still quite good, so he also smiled and said: "We have heard a little about this, but this is not a problem, if we look at the appropriate place here, we plan to use this place as a warehouse, and people don't plan to live here." ”

Ge Minkai seemed a little surprised when he heard this, but he immediately said, "That's great, let's go, let's go in with me and take a look at the house!"

In fact, our ultimate goal was just to go into the courtyard to have a look, so we followed Ge Minkai into the courtyard......

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found that this was a very ordinary residential yard, with two jujube trees planted in it, which looked like it was some years old. The floors were all colored tiles, and they should have been freshly paved, and Ge Minkai walked in front, unlocked the lock on the door, and then walked in front of his head.

Ding Yi frowned and looked around the courtyard, while Uncle Li and I followed Ge Minkai into the house. Before I went in, I thought it should be a very old room, but after I went in, I found that the windows were bright and the walls were snow-white, and it looked like it had been redecorated.

Uncle Li took a cursory look at the decoration of the house, and asked Ge Minkai suspiciously, "Have you repainted this house?"

Ge Minkai smiled stupidly: "It's not that I'm afraid that the people who come to see the house will think that this place is unlucky, so I repainted the wall plaster, so that it looks better." ”

Uncle Li nodded and didn't say anything more, while I went back and forth in the house to find some things left by the previous tenants, hoping to see some useful clues through those things.

It's a pity that the house is so clean inside and out, there is almost nothing except some simple furniture, and I really can't tell that the family of four lived here a few days ago......

I looked at Ge Minkai as if he was very honest, but his eyes showed a hint of cleanliness from time to time, which made me feel a little less good about him, so I pretended to be very casual and asked him, "Who lived here before?"

This time, Ge Minkai's eyes obviously flickered and said: "Oh, it was my friend's family who lived here before, and their house was not renovated, so I lent it to them to live temporarily for a while, and their house was renovated a few days ago, so they moved away from here!"

I listened carefully to Ge Minkai's words, trying to hear any flaws in them, but I felt that what he said was reasonable, and if we hadn't known in advance that the family was dead, maybe we wouldn't have doubted his words at all.

Then the three of us went around the house and the outside, but we couldn't find anything useful, and it seemed that we had to return in vain today! Who knew that just as we were about to leave, I tripped over a colored brick that was not paved under my feet, and my hand instinctively held on to the date tree closest to me.

"Boom......" There was a loud bang in my head, and countless fragments of memory flickered in it.
