"Close the door." The woman seemed to know that she looked a little scary, and hurried into the back room.

"Okay." Chen Ge didn't lock the door, leaving a finger's width slit, and he had already begun to think about the way back for himself before he entered the house.

Standing in the living room with a bag on his back, Chen Ge looked at the back room, the woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, covered with a thin quilt: "The house is very messy, don't dislike it, just sit down." ”

The woman's house was not too messy, but there were a lot of medicine bottles thrown away, Chen Ge picked them up casually and looked at them, they were all in English, and he could only recognize a small part.

"Don't mess with my stuff." The woman whispered, she looked at Chen Ge with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes: "What do you have in your backpack?" I don't think you're here to buy a house. ”

"Although the bag is broken, my belongings are all in it." Chen Ge said casually: "The location of your house is very good, but the price needs to be negotiated." ”

"My house has a lot of room to appreciate, and if I didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't have sold anything." The woman's skin takes on an unhealthy white, which gives a strange feeling.

"I would like to ask, what disease do you have? Need to buy a house to raise money. Chen Ge didn't come to buy a house at all, and he started talking as soon as he came up.

"Cancer." The woman pointed to her face: "Long-term chemotherapy, hair and eyebrows have fallen out." ”

"I'm sorry." Chen Ge didn't expect to get such an answer.

"I'm thinking about living a few more days now, and it's only at this time that I think I'll be able to live a few more days." A woman sells a house to extend her life, which at first glance sounds true, but when you think about it, it always feels like something is wrong.

"Let's talk about the price."

The woman made a big concession, and she offered a price thirty percent lower than the same type of house on the market.

"If you agree, I can go through the relevant procedures tomorrow with my documents."

"It's not that I'm taking advantage of the fire to rob, your price is a bit too high." To do a full set of plays, Chen Ge looked very entangled.

"Is this still a high price?"

"I sympathize with your plight, but one yard is one yard, I inquired before I came, your house was haunted a few years ago, so it has not been sold." Chen Ge patted his backpack: "I'm a bold person, and I really lack money, so I can't think of selling your house." ”

The woman knew that she was wrong, and she asked again: "Then how much are you going to give?" ”

"One-tenth of the market price, I only have so much money."

"A tenth?!" The woman was amused: "You still say that you didn't take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

"After all, there was a haunt in that house, and buying a house is a lifelong event, and if I didn't really have no money, I wouldn't have bought a murderous house." Chen Ge completely took on his role, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, as if he couldn't bear it after seeing the woman's situation: "Why don't we each take a step back, I know that you bought a house in exchange for life-saving money, and I can borrow it from friends and relatives, but the price you offered is too high, and I really can't afford it." ”

Maybe it's because the house hasn't been sold for a long time, and the woman is desperate, she was silent for a long time: "One-tenth is too little, my bottom line is half of the market price, if you want it, I will entrust the guarantee company to go through the procedures with you tomorrow, if you don't want to, forget it." ”

"Half ......" Chen Ge lowered his head, as if he was distressed.

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense, there has never been an injury to the owner in the community, how can it be haunted?" The woman was half-lying on the bed, she noticed that Chen Ge's tone was loose, and began to persuade.

"Don't lie to me, the security guard of your community told me personally that he saw a white shadow enter your house a few years ago, and then the police also went. You weren't home that night, so you probably didn't know about these things. Chen Ge followed the other party's words and began to slowly ask what he wanted to know.

"How could I not know about my own house?" The woman sighed, and there was a hint of struggle in her eyes: "Actually, I haven't wanted to mention this all along, that white shadow is not a ghost." ”

"Not a ghost?" Chen Ge's heart suddenly lifted, and the whole thing was likely to take an unexpected turn.

"Yes, that White Shadow is my sister, she's a psychopath who just got out of the hospital." The woman's expression was painful, and she coughed violently a few times: "My sister did something wrong when she was very young, and her illness was discovered at that time, and since then she has been locked up in a mental hospital, and she did not come out until four or five years ago. ”

"Wrong? Is it serious? The woman's sister's information was basically consistent with the patient in room No. 2, and Chen Ge listened more seriously.

"It's very serious, it's that incident that ruined her life." The woman felt sorry for her sister: "My sister's situation is quite special, she is a patient who needs to be isolated and treated, there is a certain danger, if the police find out, she may have to be forcibly taken away and re-imprisoned in the hospital." ”

"So you hid her in your own house?"

"My sister has recovered well after more than ten years of treatment." The woman's tone changed, as if it were an irrefutable question: "How many decades does a person have in his life?" She suffered too many sins in the first half of her life, and she should also enjoy life and enjoy the happiness of being born. ”

Chen Ge always felt that the woman's words sounded very uncomfortable: "You hid your sister in your own house, but you didn't expect her to run out and scare the neighbors by herself, so this is the truth about the haunting back then?" ”

"Yes, the so-called hauntings are all made up by those people themselves."

"And where did your sister go? You're seriously ill now, and she's not going to take care of you? ”

"I don't know where she went, and I haven't seen her since that night." The woman looked a little helpless: "She is my only relative, and sometimes I will go to Fanghuayuan to see, hoping to wait for her." ”

"I understand your pain. If no one buys it, you can keep your house for me first, and I'll raise money tomorrow. Chen Ge said sincerely, but what he was thinking about was to stabilize the woman temporarily, and he urgently needed to determine another thing now.

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow." The woman took the initiative to terminate the conversation, she seemed a little tired, and leaned on the head of the bed very weakly.

"See you tomorrow." Chen Ge got up and left with his bag on his back.

The moment the door of the apartment building closed, the expressions on the faces of the two people inside and outside the house changed.

Chen Ge stood in place and typed a few English words he had written down from the medicine bottle into his phone.

"As I suspected, this woman has a big problem, and the drugs in her room have nothing to do with treating cancer, most of them are drugs that promote wound healing and prevent allergies."

took a taxi to Fanghuayuan Community, Chen Ge dialed Team Li's phone on the road and told him about Xinkang's apartment.
