Chapter 608: Mezzanine
The security guard looked at me and asked suspiciously: "This is just a residential area, and it can't be registered as a company, but it can't be ruled out that in order to save money, the company that has set up this place as an office location privately, what is the name of your friend's company?" It seemed that he was even more suspicious of me, and maybe he thought I was here to step on something, so he smiled and said goodbye.
Walking out a few dozen meters, I saw that the security guard had returned to the sentry box, so I turned a corner and went around to the side of the community. There were a few old men chatting around, speaking Cantonese, which I didn't understand. After a draft, I walked over and talked to them, saying that I wanted to buy a house in this community, but I didn't know how the security was.
"Jieli is like the housing reform and resettlement house of the Public Security Bureau," an old man replied in a blunt Guangpu, "What do you say about public security?" I smiled and said that there was basically no concern about stealing.
Another, slightly younger middle-aged man said, "Why not?
The old man asked, "Are you talking about the incident on the 18th floor?" The middle-aged man said that there was another thing, that is. The old man said that it can't be counted, that's just a special case, our community is still very safe, young people, you don't have to listen to his nonsense, you can buy it, if you don't buy such a good traffic area, it will be more expensive in the future.
I hurriedly asked what happened on the 18th floor, and the middle-aged man told me that there was an accident in the building on the northeast street of the community who lived on the 18th floor, and it seemed that the leader of a unit had embezzled a lot of money and was caught, he had a house here, which was usually idle, just used to store the embezzled cash, and when the court came to search, I heard that there were tens of millions, all of which were placed in the big closet, full of banknotes. Later, he found that the wall behind the wardrobe seemed to have been re-cemented, so he smashed the wall open, and saw that there was a dead man inside, and his body was sprinkled with money, and there were incense candles on the top of his head and under his feet.
"Is there such a thing?" I asked, very surprised.
The middle-aged man nodded affirmatively: "Of course, I have also seen a video taken by my mobile phone, which seems to have been taken by a bank clerk at the scene." The man was rotten, lying on his side in the mezzanine, covered in money, with three candles on his head and three on his feet. It is said that he was a thief, and when he was stealing money, he was found by the leader when he came home and was killed. There was no place to arrange, so it had to be built into the wall. ”
I asked, "Incense candles for the head and feet?" An old man rushed to say with a thicker Guangpu, but I could hardly understand it, and the old man translated it to me, which meant that it was some kind of Taoist Feng Shui soul suppression method, so that the soul of the deceased could be calmed and prevented from making trouble for himself in the underworld. I hurriedly asked if there was any video, and the old men said that they used old machines, and there was no such function, and one old man said that his nephew had it in his mobile phone, which he got from a classmate who worked in a bank, and asked me if I wanted to watch it.
"No thanks. I barely managed to squeeze out a smile and shook my head, and hurried away.
Returning to my apartment in Panyu from Tianhe Square, I lay on the bed in a panic, and when I closed my eyes, I seemed to be able to see the terrible scene described by the old men: the wall was smashed open, and there was a mezzanine of just over half a meter inside, and Ah Fa was lying sideways in it, his skin was crawling with maggots, his body was sprinkled with hundred-yuan bills, and there were three white waxes on the top of his head and on the soles of his feet...... The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I felt chills and hurriedly turned off the electric fan.
A few days later, I took a client to Thailand to make a thorn talisman, and as usual, Kaohsiung pulled the strings, found a white-clothed Azan who lived in eastern Thailand, and stabbed the five sutras. That night, I went to a bar with Kaohsiung and Huang Chengcheng to have fun, and mentioned the incident of the thief Ah Fa a few days ago. I sighed as I spoke, thinking that Ah Fa was too miserable, although I was not sure that it was him. Kaohsiung also sighed, I thought to myself that this old brother would never sympathize with the customer who had an accident before, how could this be an exception, I heard Kaohsiung say: "It's a pity, if you know where the thief Ah Fa's rental house is, you can find a way to get the little ghost boy out and send it back to me for Ah Zanba Song to bless again, wouldn't you be able to make more money?"
"It's a waste of seats," Huang Chengcheng said, "and the landlord will clean up the seats, throw them in the trash, and then be transported to landfills or burned!"
I was speechless, thinking that they were pitying, and it was a pity for that little ghost boy to dare to be affectionate. I asked Kaohsiung why he didn't pity Ah Fa, who was beaten to death and built into a wall, this kind of thing is rare to see in the news, it's really miserable.
"What miserable?" Kaohsiung said, "I know that being a businessman is miserable when he has no money to make! A good person has to steal, and he is not satisfied with his success, and even if he can't buy a house even in the suburbs of Guangzhou, he can at least let him rent a decent shop to run it." He walked out of the road on his own, who can blame him!"
Huang Chengcheng also echoed, I said that Ah Fa's father left when he was a child, and his mother died early, otherwise he would not have come out to mix in society in his teens, if his mother is alive, even if he lives for five more years, he can be able to provide Ah Fa with a smooth admission to college, maybe the trajectory of his life is completely different.
Kaohsiung said: "There is no point in making such assumptions! If I hadn't helped my friends out, my house wouldn't have burned down, and maybe now I'm the owner of the largest underground casino in Chaozhou." Everyone's experience is a cause and effect manifestation of fate and good fortune, and there is only one way to go. ”
"If it weren't for my wife who escaped with Xiaobaimian at the beginning, I wouldn't have taken away all my family property, and I wouldn't have come to Thailand to do business, maybe I would have been rich in Quanzhou long ago!" Huang Chengcheng sighed. I said that you are now buying a villa Mercedes in Bangkok, what do you want?
Kaohsiung and Huang Chengcheng began to fight together, I secretly thought that I had lived for more than 30 years now, and I was good in all aspects, and it seemed that I should have been a good person in my last life. At this time, two young men walked by Huang Chengcheng, and one of the white young men hit Huang Chengcheng's elbow with his arm, and the wine glass he was holding almost fell to the ground, and the wine spilled. This person hurriedly held Huang Chengcheng's hand holding the wine glass, smiled and apologized in Chinese, Huang Chengcheng muttered unhappily: "Such a good wine, it's a waste!" The white guy hurriedly said yes, pay attention next time. When he left, he was still looking at Huang Chengcheng, as if he was afraid that he would get angry.
When he came out of the bar, it was late at night, and Huang Chengcheng answered the phone, his tone was very intense, as if he was arguing with someone. After hanging up, he said angrily: "Now that the wind is really going down, why are people getting more and more greedy?" I smiled and said that your evaluation of yourself is very pertinent. Kaohsiung also laughed, and Huang Chengcheng hurriedly said that it was someone else, the owner of a travel agency, who was even more stingy than Grande, always scheming with him, and never satisfied.
