Chapter 14: The Mansion is Haunted
"A Thousand ......"
"Two Thousand ......"
A total of thirty-eight thousand three hundred and fifty-seven pieces and five cents.
In the alley, waiting for Wang Qing and the eight people to leave, Chen Yan looked at the extra pile of money in front of him and counted it, the total amount was so much.
There are a hundred whole sheets, and there are fifty, twenty, and ten pieces.
"It's definitely not enough to buy a house, but you can stay in a hotel for a while."
Chen Yan thought that with this pile of money, he was still satisfied.
Before, he was worried about the lack of housing money, but he didn't expect Wang Qing and the eight people to come to solve his urgent need.
"So, next, you have to find a hotel to live in, and then find some way to make money to buy a house."
Chen Yan muttered, then put the money in his pocket and walked out of the alley.
He walked down the street, constantly looking at the buildings on both sides to choose the hotel he wanted to stay in.
"This is very garbage at a glance, the dilapidated small building is not a good quality hotel at a glance, this kind of hotel is afraid that it will not be changed even if it has been used for a year, this one looks a little taller, but the environment is too poor and noisy, not worthy of my style, and this one, actually blatantly posted this kind of infertility advertisement outside, at first glance it is not a serious hotel, bad reviews ......"
There are not many hotels in Jiangning, but there are many on the street where Chen Yan walks, but Chen Yan has not seen a hotel that he is satisfied with along the way, but let him find a lot of faults.
"That's it, I'm not looking for this street, I'll take a look further away."
Chen Yan was not discouraged, and in the end, his figure disappeared from this street and came to a street called Dongxin Street.
As soon as he walked into Dongxin Street, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be completely new.
Unlike the noise and filth of the street just now, this street gave him a clean and clear feeling.
The whole street environment is quiet and beautiful, the greening is very good, there is almost no noise pollution, and the road surface is clean.
On both sides of the street, rows of clean small western-style buildings also give people a comfortable feeling, making people feel like visiting a park.
"It's not bad here."
Chen Yan is quite satisfied with the environment of this street and is ready to find a hotel to stay here.
Well?
Suddenly, at this moment, Chen Yan heard a commotion, boiling, and he couldn't help but look not far ahead.
I saw a lot of people in front of a small single-family building not far away, and the sound of boiling came from there.
"What's going on?"
Chen Yan stepped forward curiously, came behind the crowd, looked inside and said.
Hearing his voice, someone suddenly turned around, glanced at him and said, "Isn't this room haunted, I heard that there are dead people again." ”
"What! Haunted? ”
Chen Yan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and then squeezed forward.
When he squeezed to the front amid an impatient scolding, he saw that in front of the crowd, there were actually three corpses covered with white cloths.
Several police officers were collecting the body after receiving the report.
What's going on?
Chen Yan stood outside the yellow line, doubts rising in his heart.
"Alas, it's really ironic, I know the three people who died, they are a family of three, a couple and a son, all came to Jiangning from other places to work, the couple is in their thirties, and the son is thirteen years old, and he is still in junior high school. Originally, their family lived on the construction site, but one day the man saw the news of the house rental here, and saw that the rent price was quite cheap, which was more cost-effective than their living on the construction site, and the man came here to rent a house, and everyone persuaded him to come, saying that there had been ghosts here, and many people had died, and the house was ominous, so he was advised not to be greedy for cheapness, but he just didn't listen, and said that he was not even afraid of the living, and was afraid of ghosts? And you see, it's a tragedy. ”
Just as doubts just rose in Chen Yan's heart, a middle-aged woman's voice suddenly sounded next to him, and she said with a look of great regret.
As soon as her words fell, an old man was not willing to be quiet, stood up, and said: "Yes, I also know about this matter, at that time I remember that the rental price of this house is only 500 yuan a month, it seems, you say, it is only 500 yuan a month, this is in our Dongxin Street, is there such a cheap house?" It's only 500 yuan, I'm afraid we can't even afford to rent a toilet here, and our house prices here are 20,000 square meters, and this man doesn't think about it, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world. ”
After the old man's words were finished, another seemingly informed crowd also said loudly: "Who said it wasn't, I also heard that when renting a house at that time, the landlord didn't know if he was afraid of losing heart, so he specially reminded him before signing the contract, saying that this house is not very clean, do you still want to rent it?" But guess what he said? ”
"How?" Someone next to me asked, aroused curiosity.
The old man said: "After he laughed out loud, he said to the landlord with a very heroic look, what is clean or not, Lao Tzu doesn't care about those, thanks to you people in the city have read a lot of books, what do you believe in science and don't believe in superstition, I see that you are purely scaring yourself, Lao Tzu is not afraid, Lao Tzu is just going to rent this house, what the hell is weird, if it is really there, let it come to Lao Tzu if it has the ability." What else is saying that such a cheap and beautiful house, it would be stupid not to rent it. ”
"Then this person is really stupid, not to mention that he killed himself, but also killed his wife and son, how much he regrets it."
"Poor people must have something to hate, this sentence is really true."
"It's just pity for the woman and the child."
……
The onlookers around shook their heads and sighed.
"Look, the owner is out."
Suddenly, a voice sounded, someone pointed to the small western-style building in front of him and shouted, everyone looked in the direction that the person pointed, only to see a man in casual clothes with a leather bag around his waist, followed by a few policemen out of the small western-style building.
The man is medium to fat, and he looks like he is not short of money.
I don't know what he said to the police, but when he came to the three corpses, several policemen exchanged with him for a while, and then carried the three corpses away.
Chen Yan was a little strange and muttered, "Don't the police block the scene?" ”
He saw that there was no seal on the door of this small western-style building.
"What is the seal, you're new here, right?"
As soon as Chen Yan's muttering finished speaking, the middle-aged aunt who spoke before glanced at him and asked in surprise.
"Yes, I just arrived in Jiangning."
Chen Yan nodded.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged aunt looked abrupt and said: "No wonder you don't know, it turned out to be a bastard, young man, then let me tell you, in fact, this is not the first time that people have died here, before, this small western-style building has died three times, and it has also alarmed the police, and the police have also blocked the scene, but guess what?" ”
Chen Yan cooperated with a curious look and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The aunt said with great interest: "Of course nothing was found!" Three times in a row, there is no clue at all, to the back, it's gone, and now there are dead people, and the scene is not much different from the previous three times, so you say, what's the use of blocking the scene? ”
"Then why do you say it's haunted?" Chen Yan asked again.
"Cut, does this need to be said, now that technology is so advanced, but even the police can't find out, it's not a haunting? And oh, young man, I see that you are handsome, and my aunt likes it, so I will secretly tell you a secret. ”
"What's the secret?"
"That's right, when this small western-style building was just built and there were no people, when someone passed by here in the middle of the night, I once heard laughter here, as if the sound of a family playing and playing, and more than once, some people even saw a female ghost floating in front of her, red clothes spreading, hideous face, that person was also scared out of neurosis, and now I heard that he has been hospitalized."
"So horrible?"
"It's just a drop, so ah, when you walk at night in the future, don't go here, understand?"
"Thank you, Auntie, I see." Chen Yan said.
When I looked up at the small western-style building in front of me, I muttered in my heart, is this place really haunted?
