Chapter 1672: The Curse of Devil's Head Money (2)
My stomach grunted a few times, and I simply dragged the confused Xue Ke to eat breakfast again, and then sat back in the car and prepared to act.
"What are you trying to do by dragging me out so early?" The redhead chick filled her stomach and then came to her senses, grumbling.
I began to snap my fingers: "There are too many mysteries in the ear city, let's come one by one first." First of all, Li Wei's matter, the commissary where she bought things was very problematic. β
Xue Ke touched his head and thought deeply: "Listening to Li Qiang's description, the owner of the snack shop is indeed a little suspicious. β
"So I'm going to check it out first." I looked at the alley not far away, "Let's go." β
Without saying anything, he pulled her into the alley again. This alley is the only farmer's market in Ear City, and there are many snack shops on both sides of the alley. After all, there are three schools around, and who doesn't know that children make the best money?
According to Li Qiang's words, I quickly found the snack shop that Li Wei once frequented. The alleys are very cold in the morning, and it is rare for people to come and go on this old street.
There are no street lights. The sun had not risen, and the darkness rendered the whole world as if it were otherworldly. Blown by the cold wind around him, the strange sense of terror was even stronger.
"Why do we have to arrive so early, if you want to question the owner of the snack shop, you have to wait for someone to open the door." Xue Ke grunted.
I sneered, "Why am I waiting for him to open the door?" Now that you know that there is something wrong with your boss, don't have preconceived notions. If it was really him who stuffed 50,000 yuan into Li Wei's schoolbag, and wrote the letter asking Li Wei's parents to use the money to send Li Wei's funeral. The question is, why, did he do this? β
"Of course, I want to curse Li Wei." Xue Ke said for granted.
I shook my head: "It's not that simple. He and Li Wei don't know each other, why should he curse her. It is impossible for a person to do things without a purpose. The source of Li Wei's strange illness is really the reason for the money and the snack shop owner. Then there may be some clues hidden in the snack shop. β
"Ahh The red-haired nerd finally understood, and she pointed at me and opened her mouth wide: "No wonder you have to wait for the morning when there is no one around, you must be trying to sneak into the snack shop without permission." It's a crime! β
"Huh, crime? Don't be silly! I laughed out loud, this girl was really naΓ―ve: "It's a crime to be discovered." He who is not found is not guilty. β
As he spoke, he took out his ****** and squatted down. The snack shop had an old roller shutter door, and it didn't take me much effort to open the lock.
With a soft 'squeak', the roller shutter door was pulled up, revealing an even darker and eerie interior space.
"Get in here." I motioned to Xueke.
The girl was depressed: "It's weird, this place." β
"It's funny, you're a naturalist too. There is a typical human psychology in the discipline, which is about why human beings are afraid of the dark. It was all caused by the genes of ancient humans who were controlled by the Dark Forest effect when they were in the jungle. "I didn't feel sorry for her at all, and kicked her in the upright ass.
The snow girl glared at me angrily: "But there is no knowledge in naturalism, teach you what to do if you are cursed." β
"That just proves that the branch tree of naturalism is not broad enough. If you make it back alive this time, you might be able to create a basic science of self-cultivation and proper posture for dealing with curses. I casually talked to her about what I didn't have, closing the roller shutter door, taking out my phone, and turning on the flashlight.
A cold light pierced the darkness.
The commissary is not large, only about 30 square meters. There are a lot of old snacks on display, and I suddenly feel like I have entered the 80s.
Most of the snacks produced by small factories that have long been extinct in big cities continue to shine in small cities due to their low prices. No wonder Li Wei, who is reluctant to spend money, is willing to spend a dollar on two snacks.
Xue Ke's nerves were very sensitive, and she suddenly touched her back: "Mr. Ye Buyu, do you think that the bronze face on the back is hot?" β
"Hot?" I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't feel much. But her words made me more cautious. But if there is an abnormality, there must be a reason for its appearance. Sure enough, there is something wrong with the commissary?
I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I searched the entire commissary, but found no clues. Frowning, I groped my way along the wall. This commissary is the first floor of a two-story building and belongs to the self-built houses of local residents. The layout of the terraced houses is destined to have a staircase leading to the second floor.
No matter what kind of property the store is, no matter how many goods there are. There is definitely a need for space to stock up, and the place to store stock up is most likely the second floor.
I didn't disappoint myself, and I found the ladder to the second floor neatly. It's just a simple wooden ladder, and if you press it down, a small hole will appear in the ceiling. Anyway, the owner of the snack shop is really idle, and he actually got such a hidden mechanism.
I don't know if it's to save space for the commissary, or if it's something else!
I climbed the ladder and my head was out and my eyes would be able to see inside. My whole body is almost frozen. I saw that on the huge second floor, there were no boxes of snacks that should be in common sense.
Nothing.
There are only charms made of yellow sheet paper all over the walls. On every charm, there is a face of ghost money. Every face, every face, was half-open, as if trying to open its eyes to reveal a frightening gaze.
I crawled in with cold hands and feet. When Xue Ke came up, she was so frightened that she almost screamed.
"Why, how are there so many spells here?" She was trembling all over.
Glancing at the grimace on the charm, she felt that the grimace on her back was also desperately hot, and the hot clothes were about to burn.
The second floor is exactly the same size as the first floor, about thirty square meters. It's this 30-square-meter space that seems to have recently been altered. There are no doors or windows, and the square four walls seem to be the space prepared for the charm. Except for a small place in the center where you can stay, even the ceiling and floor are covered with grimace charms.
The dense grimace charm is not a messy paste. The more I looked, the more I felt that every post was made of particular location.
"Snow girl, count how many charms there are in total!" I commanded in a low voice.
Xue Ke also felt that the spell in the house was a little weird, so she hurriedly did as I asked.
