Chapter 9: Mystery

Lightning is fleeting.

The shadows of Lin Chu and Zhang Qiang on the wall also disappeared.

Only the shadow of the woman in the middle still remained on the wall.

Darker than dark, darker and darker.

Slowly, it gradually "falls off" from the wall.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees all at once.

"Run!"

Zhang Qiang turned his head and shouted at Lin Chu.

The black shadow took advantage of this time and pounced on him from behind!

"Be careful!"

Lin Chu shouted in surprise.

At the last moment.

Zhang Qiang reached out and pulled out a pendant from his neck.

It was a golden amulet.

The moment Zhang Qiang showed the Buddha card, the ghost figure was immediately forced back and re-submerged into the wall, and the color quickly became lighter, blending into the surrounding darkness.

Lin Chu was very surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Qiang to carry something to ward off evil spirits.

On second thought, this is normal.

If you want to work alone in a haunted place, you will definitely prepare all kinds of things to ward off evil spirits to save your life.

It was at this time that a question suddenly popped up in Lin Chu's heart:

Why would Zhang Qiang rather be alone in this haunted villa in the mountains than resign?

Obviously not for money, a job for a large family to guard the yard, you can earn a few dollars, and the income is obviously not as good as the risk.

So why did he stay?

"Mr. Lin, for the sake of safety, you leave here with me first!"

Zhang Qiang's shouting in front brought Lin Chu's thoughts back to reality.

He hurried to the gate.

But the door would not be opened.

The two of them worked together to finally open the door, only to find a sealed red brick wall outside.

It was exactly the same as what happened to Lin Chu when he was alone before.

It's just that the mirror was replaced with a red brick wall.

In the gap between each brick, a large amount of thick red liquid oozed out.

Lin Chu smelled a heavy smell of rust on the tip of his nose.

It's blood!

At this time, the red brick wall in front of the two had turned into a waterfall of blood.

The plasma landed on the floor of the hallway, spreading to the feet of the two.

Lin Chu subconsciously retracted his feet and took a step back.

Zhang Qiang said calmly: "Go up to the second floor!" We jumped out of the den window into the pool! ”

They ran up to the second floor, and as soon as they entered the study, the cabinet fell head-on.

"Mr. Lin, be careful!"

Zhang Qiang pushed Lin Chu away, and his back was hit by a falling vase.

"Are you alright?"

Lin Chu immediately asked with concern.

Zhang Qiang endured the pain and shook his head with a smile.

At this time, there was a chill ahead, like the cold snap that suddenly opened the freezer of the refrigerator in the middle of summer.

Lin Chu immediately took a picture with his mobile phone.

A woman in a white dress with her hair hanging down to her chest and her entire face covered stood there.

The light fell on her body without any shadow.

It was the "sister" who crawled out of the drawer earlier and scared Lin Chu into running all over the house.

It's just that now that she's standing up, it's even more oppressive.

Lin Chu's whole body was numb, and every hair on his body seemed to feel the powerful resentment of this "sister" and stood up.

It was like being thrown into ice water soaked in peppercorns......

Zhang Qiang, who had a slight injury to his back, blocked Lin Chu behind him and whispered, "Mr. Lin, I'll drag her, you go downstairs now and find a way to get out of this house." ”

"But can you deal with her alone?" Lin Chu was worried.

"Don't worry, I have this Buddhist medal I asked for from Thailand, and she can't hurt me." Zhang Qiang pointed the Buddhist card at the female ghost in front of him.

Lin Chu had already seen the power of this amulet before, but it was much better than the broken bronze mirror in his hand that had to cooperate with lightning to exorcise ghosts.

So he decided not to stay and make trouble for Zhang Qiang, and exited the study alone and went down the stairs.

After returning to the first floor, Lin Chu tried to open the door again.

It turned out to be the same sealed red brick wall outside.

It's just that the plasma is gone.

I had to close the door and find another way out.

He walked to the living room, and when the light of the mobile phone flashlight swept over the table, he suddenly saw three dead mice!

One died in the bowl, two died next to the bowl, and the noodles dragged out of the bowl next to the corpse.

Lin Chu was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and his whole brain was blank for a short time-

This bowl of noodles...... It's poisonous!

He looked up at the second floor in dismay.

I was very shocked and confused.

Why did Zhang Qiang poison the noodles?

What reason did he have to murder him?

If he really wanted to do this, then why did he go to great lengths to save himself upstairs before?

In order to check how toxic the poison in the noodles was, Lin Chu picked up a mouse corpse with chopsticks and observed it carefully.

At this moment, the mouse was "resurrected"!

It squeaked between the two chopsticks and struggled to fall to the ground and run away.

What's going on?

Lin Chu was very surprised, and hurriedly poked the "corpses" of the other two mice with chopsticks, and they were also "resurrected" and ran away.

It's as if I was just asleep temporarily......

It's sleeping pills!

Lin Chu suddenly realized that this bowl of noodles was not a poison that killed people, but a sleeping pill!

But it's good, what did Zhang Qiang do with sleeping pills for himself?

Lin Chu began to realize that this seemingly very considerate and reliable "big brother" actually had a very serious problem.

The previous doubt, which was only a flash in my mind, now resurfaced in my mind-

Since Zhang Qiang found out that there was a problem with this villa from the beginning, a normal person must have quit this job a long time ago, but why did he stay and work for five years?

Now that I think about the story Zhang Qiang said, it is simply full of loopholes.

Mr. Zhang said he found the villa haunted when he was sent here five years ago.

In that case, why didn't he report the Chu family immediately, but instead went to investigate by himself?

After investigating that the original owner's mistress died of illness in the villa, he still did not report to the Chu family, nor did he resign, and continued to work as if nothing had happened, and stayed for five years.

This kind of psychological quality is really a bit different from ordinary people, right? In other words, it is abnormal! Very abnormal!

And he, a member of the Chu family who has no social connections, can find out the original owner of the villa, the mistress of the bankrupt businessman died of illness in the villa, can't the Chu family find out?

The Chu family's Huaxin Group is the leading investment consortium in Shenzhen, and when the bankrupt businessman used the villa to pay off the debt, the Huaxin Group must have conducted a comprehensive valuation of the property. In this process, any overt and covert flaws in the villa cannot escape the eyes of the assessment auditors.

Lin Chu was originally a student in the business school, and he took a course on asset appraisal in class.

Therefore, one of the most important indicators for property value appraisal is whether there has been a death, how many people have died, how much they died, whether they died of illness or old age, or suicide, each of which will affect the valuation of the property.

Chu Zhenyun asked his granddaughter and friends to come here to hold such an important eighteenth birthday party, which shows that when this villa was audited and evaluated five years ago, there was absolutely no death.

But now there is indeed a ghost hovering in the villa.

This shows that this villa is actually dead.

The only explanation is that the murder occurred after the transfer of ownership of this villa to the Chu family!

And the Chu family didn't know anything about it, including Chu Zhenyun.

There is only one person who is certainly an exception -

Zhang Qiang!

Lin Chu gasped, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

By now, the answer is on the horizon.

Why did I feel that someone was peeking outside the window before the female ghost appeared?

Why did Zhang Qiang send himself a supper and put sleeping pills in his noodles?

Why did Zhang Qiang deliberately fabricate that the businessman's mistress died of illness in the villa to confuse the public?

Why did the female ghost stare at him as soon as Zhang Qiang appeared, completely throwing herself aside?

Apparently it's all because of ......

Da! Da! Da!

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.

Lin Chu immediately turned off the flashlight of his mobile phone, leaned down, and hid behind the sofa.

"Mr. Lin, are you still there?"

Zhang Qiang walked to the living room, holding a flashlight and calling while searching.

Lin Chu hid behind the sofa, covering his mouth and nose with his hands, and didn't even dare to breathe.
