Chapter 486: Champion Building
I put the newspaper aside and said, "Probably because I am not at ease with Dong Shunian, after all, Dong Haiming handed over his small company to Boss Dong, and the original intention was to let him take care of Dong Shunian." ”
I thought about it for a moment and asked Liu Shangang: "Is there any connection between Dong Shunian and the Funeral Sect?" ”
Liu Shangang: "It's not sure yet, I've now given Lao Bao his information and the company information of Boss Dong's competitors, and Lao Bao will let people check it." Due to the wide range of activities of these people, it is somewhat difficult to investigate, and he will only be able to give me news at noon tomorrow. However, it is much easier for Han Jin to investigate, although this person usually behaves like an ordinary normal student, after Lao Bao's investigation, Han Jin's ancestor was originally surnamed Yang, and his great-grandfather also worked as a god in Guizhou. ”
I didn't speak, waiting for Liu Shangang to continue, but Liu Shanang didn't have a following.
I couldn't help frowning: "And then, how can you prove that Han Jin has a problem?" ”
Liu Shangang: "Huh? Doesn't this prove that his great-grandfather was a god. ”
I asked him, "Han Jin inherited his grandfather's craft?" ”
Liu Shangang thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”
I smiled and shook my head helplessly: "Okay, I know you're worried about me." Let's eat, after eating, let's go meet this Han Jin. ”
Liu Shangang hurriedly ran to the kitchen to serve the rice, took chopsticks again, and urged me and Liang Houzai to eat quickly.
We did eat this meal quickly, in fact, although I have always made a calm appearance, but in my heart, more than anyone else, I want to finish my business quickly.
After eating, we went out without even cleaning up the table, left the community, and went straight to the Haihua community where Han Jin was located.
From the photo that Liu Shangang gave me before, I know that it is a very old community, in the photo, the cement on the windowsill has fallen off in large areas, and a large number of creepers have appeared on the wall next to the window.
At the moment, it seems that only the walls of the old houses have vegetation such as creepers.
But after leaving the community, Liu Shangang took us to the new district north of the school.
The so-called new district is a new real estate that has just been developed, this place has been there before I came to the school to report, and my classmates call it a new district, I don't know why, I only know that there are many newly opened convenient hotels in this area.
Haihua City is in the southwest of the whole new district, this community should have just been built not long ago, I saw that most of the front houses along the street are empty, and the front houses of other communities have been occupied by department stores, small restaurants and small hotels.
When I entered the community, I found that there was no one in the security room.
Even if it's a newly built community, it won't even have a security guard, right?
I gave Liu Shangang a puzzled look, and Liu Shangang smiled at me and said, "You'll understand when you go in." ”
Entering the interior of the community, several new buildings that exude the smell of barrenness stand there very regularly, there is no halo on each building, and there are several rolls of turf next to the green belt of the community, but the grass in the green belt is almost dead, and a large piece of loess is exposed on the ground.
There is only a street lamp at the entrance of the huge community, and if it weren't for the fact that it is not completely dark now, the community may not give me the feeling of more than just desolation.
Liu Shangang said: "As soon as this community was built, there was an accident on the developer's side, and I think when it was first built, because it was close to your university in the south and the best bilingual school in the city in the north, it was also a real school district house, and the housing prices were high." Fortunately, the local manufacturer did not engage in pre-sale, otherwise it would be enough for him to be collected by the owner now. ”
I asked Liu Shangang: "What happened to the developer?" ”
Liu Shangang shrugged: "I don't know about this." However, I heard that Boss Dong has plans to take over this plate. In front of it is where Han Jin lives. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and I followed the direction of his finger and sure enough, I saw an old house. It was a very old-looking two-storey building, with a courtyard on the first floor, and from the windows on the second floor, a soft light emanated.
It is a lonely building, both in terms of architectural style and sense of age, which is incompatible with other buildings in the community.
Liu Shangang said: "This is a champion building, in order to make their house better to sell, the real estate developer kept it. ”
I raised my eyebrows: "Champion Building?" ”
"Well," Liu Shangang nodded: "Your city had a champion during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and later their family developed into a scholarly family, and the descendants are all erudite and talented. After all, this place is a school district, and considering the minds of the owners, the real estate developer preserved this old building when it was built. ”
Because the community is empty, Liu Shangang's voice is not small, and people living in this old building can also hear it.
Just as Liu Shangang was speaking, the window on the second floor was opened, and an emaciated young man stuck his head out of the window to look out.
This young man is Han Jin.
The sky is not yet dark, of course he can see us, Liu Shangang does not seem to take him seriously, and looks at Han Jin with a hostile look, while Liang Houzai looks more vigilant.
I waved my hand at Han Jin and shouted at him, "Are you Han Jin?" ”
He didn't seem to expect me to know his name, so he was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he respond to me: "I am, who are you?" ”
I said, "I'm also a student of tarot cards and gypsy sorcery, and I've heard people talk about you, and I've heard that you're very accomplished in this area, so I've come to pay a visit." ”
Alas, really, after so many years of walking outside, I found that I really didn't look like a good person anymore, and I almost didn't use my brain to talk nonsense like this.
An excited smile suddenly appeared on Han Jin's face: "Do they really say that? Wait a minute, I'll go down and open the door!" ”
After saying that, he shrank back from the window, and after waiting less than a minute, he came to the courtyard and opened the courtyard door for us.
He still had an excited smile on his face when he invited us in, and as I walked past him, he asked me, "Who told you I live here?" ”
I said, "The guy in your group said that he wouldn't let me say his name, he just said you were here." ”
Han Jin was slightly puzzled: "The people in the group? But I didn't tell us I lived here. ”
I smiled and responded to him: "That guy claims to be a die-hard fan of yours and knows all your information, but he's easy to be shy, likes you, and is embarrassed to say." Hehe, you must have guessed who he is by now, but this is your own guess, not me who took the initiative to say it. ”
When I say such things, I don't feel weak at all.
But Han Jin frowned, as if he was in deep thought.
After a while, he suddenly asked me, "Is it Wang Qian?" How did she know I was staying here, that she had followed me? ”
I said, "I don't know anything, I don't say anything." Hehe, I'm here today just to discuss with you about witchcraft. ”
Han Jin first showed a hint of excitement, but then said to me in a warning tone: "But let's talk about it first, let's only discuss witchcraft and tarot cards, don't ask me about constellations, I'm not interested in that thing." ”
I immediately reached out and shook his hand: "Like-minded, I'm not interested in constellations." ”
He finally let his guard down and invited us into the house with a smile on his face.
This house is indeed very old, and I see that some of the decorations on the house are still the oldest European style, but in the eaves and window lattices, there is a strong ancient Chinese style.
I think this house should have been built in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, when very few large families influenced by foreign culture owned such properties.
Entering the lobby on the first floor, Han Jin turned on the light, and the soft yellow light suddenly filled the entire space, I looked around, the furnishings here also looked very old, only the TV and the refrigerator next to the corridor looked like they were bought in recent years, and the other furniture, whether it was the tables and chairs that were still peeling paint, or the old record player placed in the corner, were all dull.
The wood paint on the handrails of the stairs had also fallen off in large chunks, giving the house a precarious feel, even though I knew in my heart that this seemingly unwanted old building was worth a fortune.
Liu Shangang poked me lightly with his arm and pointed to the shadow next to the stairs.
I saw a small inconspicuous door in the shadows. Liu Shangang gave me an inquiring look, intending to ask me if I wanted to go over and have a look, and I shook my head.
Since entering this house, I haven't felt an abnormal Qi field for the time being, and there shouldn't be much problem with this house.
Han Jin poured each of us a glass of water and invited us to sit on the couch for a while.
There is a set of very old European sofas in the house, which looks like leather from a distance, and it seems to be very comfortable to sit on, but when I actually sit on it, I find that the springs in the sofa cushions are all broken, and the feeling is very uncomfortable, as if this fragile sofa will collapse at any time.
Han Jin sat across from me, and I was afraid that he would ask some questions that I couldn't answer, so I took the lead in speaking: "You rented this place?" Renting such a big house for one person, isn't the rent cheap? ”
He said "hi" and said: "I don't have much money, the owner of the house has moved to Hangzhou, he doesn't live in this place, when I come to rent, he only symbolically charges me 20 yuan a month for rent, on the condition that I want to help him maintain this old house." ”
I nodded: "This place is really nice and quiet. ”
As soon as he mentioned "quiet", Han Jin suddenly became interested: "The reason why I rented this place is because I came quietly, you know, studying those witchcraft or something, the most important thing is quiet." ”
"That's it," I quickly agreed, "and it's really important to be quiet." By the way, do you usually study anything other than tarot cards and gypsy sorcery? ”
Han Jin was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”
I smiled: "I mean you, you usually dabble in more than tarot cards and astrology." ”
"Of course," Han Jin pondered for a moment and responded, "Actually, I'm not interested in tarot cards, gypsy witchcraft, and anything like that. The things I want to study the most are the things that our ancestors have passed down, and I have almost made progress recently. ”
I know what he means by "almost".
Fearing that cutting to the chase too early would make him suspicious, I asked a nonsensical question: "Do you believe in supernatural forces in this world?" ”
