After the man left, I quickly swept the meat dishes on the table, and then went back to the thrift store to pack tomorrow's luggage.

By the way, since all the shops in the old alley can only be used for cash, I went to the city bank a few days ago to withdraw a lot of money in case of emergency.

I would like to say that I invited this dinner in the evening.

I receive as much money as Yan Yanan and I receive from the old lady's family every year, she has a small appetite, and she doesn't need to take a lot of medicine, so most of the annual pension money can be left, and my pension money is obviously not enough to spend, but I still have to invite her to eat.

I'm sure you'll understand what I mean by this.

What I mean is that I'm more open-minded, and I'm a man who is particularly picky.

Yes, I'm venting my anger. Also, I hope that Yan Yanan will not read this book.

Back at the store, I took out my suitcase, packed a few changes of clothes, and carefully wrapped up the herbs that had not been used up during this time, and put them in my suitcase.

During this time when I was out, I couldn't take a medicinal bath, so I had to rely on taking medicine to strengthen my physique.

Seeing that everything was almost packed, I ran to the bedroom and found the file bag on the bedside table.

She kept saying that she had two businesses in her hands, and asked me to choose one of them, but none of the materials in the file bag had anything to do with the first business.

This shows that Yan Yanan knew how I would choose early on.

When I opened the file bag, there was a seven- or eight-page document and three color photos.

All three photos show the same old villa, but from different angles. The villa is purely European style, although it looks a little old, but it is obviously taken care of by someone on a regular basis, and one of the photos shows the small courtyard of the villa, all the flowers and plants have been carefully manicured.

The document records the specific content of the business.

At the beginning of the document, the name of the employer and the remuneration for this time are written, and the employer is obviously Shi Huayin himself, but it says that he has recently lost his mind and cannot take care of himself.

It is said that since half a year ago, Shi Huayin will sleepwalk away from home every night, and every time he walks five kilometers along the coastal road to the old villa in the photo.

He became very energetic after the early hours of the morning, but during the day, his body was extremely weak, and he had to rest in bed to recuperate, and he would have a high fever if he blew the wind a little, and he was almost mentally normal during the day, often lying in bed and talking nonsense, or just turning around.

The document also said that his parents did not know about Shi Huayin.

Let's not talk about how Shi Huayin got in touch with Yan Yanan in such a state, just say that he encountered this kind of thing, how could his parents not know about it?

The documentation is very detailed about some of the dispensables, but it does not give a reasonable explanation for such a key issue.

However, this document is not completely worthless, at least as it says, the last time Nether Tongbao was found was near this old villa. At that time, the location of the Netherworld Tongbao appeared was "Lao Qingxiang No. 72", which I speculated should be a house number, but the document does not give an exact explanation.

After reading the whole document, I suddenly had a very strange feeling in my heart, I always felt that the employer was not Shi Huayin, but someone else, and what was recorded in the document was probably not true.

Why did Yan Yanan prepare such a document?

Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock, I didn't think too much about it, so I hastily put away the document bag and went to bed.

At four o'clock the next morning, before it was dark, Yan Yanan called me and said that she was already waiting for me at the entrance of the alley, and asked me to pack up and go out quickly.

She didn't know where to get a luxury car, and when I dragged my suitcase to the mouth of the alley, I saw her leaning against the door with her hands folded, waving impatiently to me, signaling me to move quickly.

The driver is a middle-aged man in his forties, I have never seen this person, and I don't plan to introduce it, after getting in the car, she said to me: "You take a plane to Nanjing first, after arriving in Nanjing, don't rush to catch a flight, take a turn near the airport, and then fly to the East China Sea after two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

I asked her, "Aren't there direct flights?" ”

Yan Yanan: "Yes, but you can't sit." Your trip must be discreet enough not to be noticed, or he will come out to disrupt the situation. ”

After speaking, she took out a transparent glass bottle from the leather bag she was carrying, which contained more than a dozen small dark green pills.

Yan Yanan stuffed the medicine bottle to me and said, "I went to the pharmacy last night and took out thirteen Qi Holding Pills. This medicine can temporarily hide the vitality and yang energy from your body, so that the ghosts cannot detect you. Keep in mind that the potion only works for an hour, and the potion is limited, so if you get too close to the ghosts, they will still sense your presence. The safe distance is five meters. ”

After a while, Yan Yanan instructed me again: "After arriving in the East China Sea, don't do it lightly until you figure out the ins and outs of the matter." In the future, when you walk outside, you should develop such a good habit. ”

I said, "Isn't the whole thing clearly written in the documentation?" ”

Yan Yanan glanced at me: "Do you really think that document writes everything clearly?" ”

She knew there was something wrong with that document early on.

However, I didn't intend to question, but said: "I think the employer of this business should not be Shi Huayin himself." ”

Yan Yanan nodded: "The person who contacted me is indeed not Shi Huayin, judging from the voice and tone, that person should be old, highly educated, and very cultivated." ”

I put my back on the seat: "Old Qingxiang No. 72, this should be a house number, right?" ”

"Indeed," said Yan Yanan, "that villa area was built in the Republic of China, and it was abandoned after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was not until the early nineties of the last century that the local foreign businessmen were found to take over." That place has not been taken care of for more than 40 years, and many house numbers are missing, so at present, I am not sure which building is No. 72 Lao Qingxiang. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Yanan paused for a moment before continuing: "At first, the foreign businessman planned to build it into a sea-view villa, but when he took over, he spent a lot of money, and he had to renovate the old house, which was a big expense. So the house is very expensive, and there are some old local rumors, resulting in the house there not selling at all. ”

I frowned: "What rumors?" ”

"It is said that in the early years, there was a murder there, and since then it has often been haunted, and the locals think that it is an unlucky place, and they are not even willing to go for a walk during the day, let alone live." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "No, how do I feel that the old villa in the photo seems to be often taken care of?" The flowers and plants in the yard are all trimmed. ”

Yan Yanan said that around the turn of the millennium, the Shi family saw the opportunity and bought the old residential area from foreign businessmen at a low price. The master of the Shi family is a very methodical person, he first secretly invited the Taoist to dispel the yin qi of the old residential area, and then refuted the rumors everywhere, threatening that the villa he sold had no problem at all.

And the villa I saw in the photo was given to his housekeeper by the master of the master's family, but it was only a nominal gift, and the housekeeper did not live there. In addition, he also finds someone to take care of it every day, making it look like someone is living there.

I asked Yan Yanan, the old villa in the photo is the scene of the murder back then, right?

She also told me that the first occupant of the old villa was also a well-known local family, and this person's surname was Song, but the specific name was unknown.

This Mr. Song was originally a reasonable and good man, but in 1932, he brutally killed his wife and a pair of children. Half a year before the killing, Mr. Song had dug a deep cellar underground and prepared three large vats. It is said that on the afternoon of the day he started, he first took his whole family to a famous local restaurant for dinner, but as soon as he got home, he sacrificed a butcher's knife, first his wife, then his children, and chopped up the bodies of his wife and children, put them in a large vat prepared in advance, and finally put the large vat into the cellar.

The whole process, not like a slaughter, is more like making some kind of delicious pickles.

Because the cellar was dug and hidden, it was not until five years later that the incident was revealed, and Mr. Song hanged himself in the west attic when he saw the incident at the east window.

As for how this matter was revealed, it is impossible to verify it because it has been too long.

After Mr. Song's death, the house has not been quiet, and people often see light shining through the windows of the old villa in the middle of the night, and floating figures flickering, like ghosts swimming in the house.

Hearing what Yan Yanan said so much, I couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't this content appear on the document?" ”

Yan Yanan spread his hands: "I only found out about these last night...... Are you questioning me? ”

As soon as I saw that she was about to put on a teaching face, I immediately responded: "Of course not, you think too much." It seems that this business is more troublesome than expected. ”

Yan Yanan sighed: "It's really troublesome. But the remuneration is only 20,000 yuan, and those breath-holding pills alone are more than this price. ”

I said, "Isn't this business involving an antique that no one wants?" Why isn't it mentioned in the documentation? ”

Yan Yanan: "I also heard that the three vats that Mr. Song used to hold the corpse were all from the official kiln of the Yuan Dynasty, but I am not sure whether this news is accurate, so it was not written on the document." Once you're there, make sure to try to find the cellar, and according to the tip, the three vasks are probably still in the cellar now. ”

It turned out that she wasn't sure if there were any antiques, it seemed that this time, I couldn't make a trip for nothing, as for the 20,000 yuan honorarium, for a medicine jar like me, it was just a tooth sacrifice.

Early in the morning, there were no cars on the road, so we drove all the way and soon arrived at the airport.

When I got off the bus, I told me that after I arrived in the East China Sea, I should not be impulsive in doing things, and I must not make a move without full certainty.

I just listened to her words, and I didn't take it seriously at all.

Sure? How can I be sure? This is not stir-frying, you can only get into the pot when the ingredients are ready.

But there are some things I don't want to listen to, and there are some things that I still have to do.

I first flew to Nanjing, and then wandered around the airport for a few hours according to the instructions of Yan Yanan, and then caught a plane at half past two to fly to the East China Sea.

As soon as I got off the plane, I got my luggage when my phone rang.

When I lit up my phone, I saw an unfamiliar mobile phone number that I had never seen before, and the location of the number was Donghai.
