My identity is a driver, so Manager Gong naturally doesn't need to introduce me to anything, I just park the car. Then he carried the purchased gifts and followed him and Gong Aowei into the mansion.

The interior of the mansion is very luxurious and very European, and it can be seen that the family has indeed lived in Europe for a long time. I thought I would meet an Englishman butler or a maid or something like that, but there was no one in the room, and I couldn't hear any human voices, only empty corridors, stairs, and our footsteps.

Manager Gong didn't ask anything, and I could only shut up and follow behind these two people.

Gong Aowei led us to a room on the left side of the first floor, and politely let us both sit down on the sofa, and then poured tea himself.

Manager Gong took a sip of tea very calmly, and then praised repeatedly: "Good tea!" The chairman is still so tasteful about tea! And after all these years, you are still so young. ”

"It's just that the face doesn't look very old, but the body is really not as good as a year." The chairman hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly.

After a few polite words of compliments to each other, the conversation between the two turned to business and investment. I understood these things, and I didn't listen to them seriously, I just sat on the sofa and quietly observed the chairman, trying to find something different from him.

However, nothing can be found by just looking at the eyes, and there is no yin qi in this chairman. There's nothing wrong with language, no matter how you look at it, he's an ordinary businessman. If you have to find out the disharmony, it is that from the door to the room, the place you pass through is very dark and oppressive, the curtains are almost all drawn, and the entire first floor is not seen with natural light except for the main entrance, and people living in this environment will always make people have some strange associations. For example, vampires.

After talking enough about investment, the conversation between the two finally turned to their families.

Although the palace manager told me before coming over that he would not specifically ask about Gong Yan and Wei Xueying, but after chatting, he still leaned forward to this question intentionally or unintentionally, as if older people always like to care about whether their friends' children are married, whether they have children when they are married, and what their grades are when they have children.

As soon as he talked about this topic, Gong Aowei suddenly sighed, and then frowned and said: "Hey, my third son just got married more than a month ago, and during the Chinese New Year, the two of them went to the south to take a yacht to sea, but they happened to be shipwrecked, and my son was lucky enough to save his life." But the daughter-in-law he just married was not so lucky. ”

"Really? That's really ......" Manager Gong didn't say too specifically, this place said that luck is disrespectful to the deceased, and saying that misfortune is like wishing that the other party's son died in a shipwreck. So the previous omission here is definitely just right.

"Forget it, let's talk about something happy about the New Year." Gong Aowei waved his hand, and the topic stopped, and then they talked about making money, as if this was what really made them happy.

The two chatted until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and Manager Gong got up and said goodbye.

Gong Aowei didn't leave us here to eat, he didn't even mean a polite word, he still personally sent us out of the house as before, but he only walked to the edge of the shadow at the door, and did not continue to go out into the sun. He just stood there and watched me and Manager Gong get into the car, and then waved goodbye to us.

I drove off the estate back to the highway and pulled over to a parking strip where I pulled over.

Manager Gong asked me, "Do you see something wrong?" ”

"It's very wrong that the whole house is empty like that, and it's unbelievable that someone of his stature should live alone." I replied.

"The last time I came, he had a housekeeper at home, but there were only those two people, maybe the rich man was so willful. My family is also quite big, usually only my wife and I live there, sometimes she travels abroad, and I am the only one in the house, in fact, it is nothing. Manager Gong explained.

I don't know much about the lifestyle of rich people, in my opinion, when you have money, you should hire a lot of people at home, some are responsible for cooking, some are responsible for cleaning, some are responsible for managing these cooking and cleaning, anyway, you just hire a large group of people to serve next to you, and living alone is not in my consideration at all.

Maybe my idea is a bit of a nouveau riche characteristic, but I believe that this should be the choice of the vast majority of people, and Gong Aowei's mansion definitely has it.

But that's the end of today's investigation, I don't want to involve Manager Gong too deeply, in case Gong Aowei really has something to do with the mafia, I will only harm Manager Gong if I act rashly. So after exchanging opinions with Manager Gong, I drove back to the city, and my cooperation with him ended there.

After returning home, I called Li Siqi to report the progress of the investigation and told her not to worry, I still need to investigate this matter slowly.

The next day, I chose to stay put, only looking for things about the Gong family everywhere, but the time invested was not proportional to the gains, and the information about Gong Aowei and the Gong family was still a few, and there were not too many new things, not even gossip scandals and other things, it could be seen that they were too low-key.

The next day, during the day, I still stayed in Le Yi Tang to recuperate, and in the evening I set off with Xiao Ai to the outskirts of the city, and soon found the manor of Gong Aowei.

It was already completely dark, and it had cooled down in the north lately, and it was always cloudy, and it had suddenly snowed heavily during the day, and by the time we arrived, the whole estate was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The mansion in the center of the manor looked black, I don't know if there were no lights in the house at all, and the curtains were too thick to block all the lights in the house. Whatever the reason, this pitch black environment definitely worked in my favor, and Xiao Ai and I climbed into the side wall of the manor under the cover of darkness, and then quickly approached the side of the mansion.

The house was lit, closer to the mansion, and we could see a faint glimmer of light from the window. I leaned close to the window and listened, but it was so quiet that I couldn't hear anything.

I didn't want to sneak into the mansion by myself, not that I was afraid of Gong Aowei, but the room was too quiet, and if I went in, I would definitely be discovered by the people in the house, so I let the candle dragon appear, and then he would enter the mansion to take a look, and if he found something special, he would come out and sue me.

After receiving the order, Yingting went to the house through the window, and after about half an hour, Yingting came out of the window again, and whispered to me: "There is no one in the house, there is a basement behind the kitchen, and there is a very special box locked underneath, and there is an enchantment around the box, and I can't get through." ”

Yingting's words reminded me of the experience Li Siqi told me before.

The old woman who called herself Wei Xueying said that she became old because she broke the family rules of the Gong family and opened a box that could not be opened, and what Yingting just found may be the box that cannot be opened.

Since there is no one in the house now, I naturally won't miss this good opportunity, so I let Inting enter the house and open the window, Xiao Ai and I also went through the window into the mansion, and then went directly to the basement behind the kitchen under the guidance of Intin.

There are no lights in the basement, but I can still see around with the help of the light outside the entrance and the light of the flashlight.

The area of this basement is not large, there is nothing around the entrance steps, only a wooden ornament resembling a Buddhist shrine is placed on the innermost side, and in the "Buddhist altar" there is a yellow wooden box one foot long and half a foot high, and a very delicate golden lock is hung on the box, which looks as if it is made of pure gold.

I noticed around the shrine, there was a string of knots about a palm's height from the ground, a talisman was hung on the knot, and dozens of small brackets of the "Ya" type held this knot, so that it circled the shrine.

This is indeed an enchantment, and I saw it with my own eyes not long ago, in the madhouse of the bald old demon, he used this enchantment to lock me and the tiger master. It's good that I didn't come here by myself today, so I can't touch that thing, but Xiao Ai can destroy the enchantment.

I gestured to the Okinawa knot, Xiao Ai nodded at me, and then walked up to me and recited the mantra, as if to do some self-preservation preventive work, and when the mantra was finished, he reached over and grabbed the knot, and then pulled it back. ｜.

"Ahh

Xiao Ai suddenly exclaimed, then shook his hand and threw the knot into the corner, and then he staggered backwards for several steps, and then fell to the ground with a kick under his feet. Team skills.

I hurried over to help him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Ai didn't answer me immediately, but shook his head incessantly, his nose was still bleeding! Even though Xiao Ai is just a doppelganger of the death assistant, I never thought that Xiao Ai would be so wolf-bèi, which also makes him look more like a person.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Xiao Ai's face gradually eased, his breathing became even, and as his gaze turned to me, he could finally speak.

"I saw a snake, a black viper, and it bit me, right on my wrist. I knew it was an illusion, that it was the enchantment that made me see what I feared the most. Xiao Ai said in a slightly trembling voice.

I listened silently, but did not respond to his words, I don't know if he said this unintentionally, or if he deliberately wanted to reveal this information to me, but in any case he told me one thing - the death assistant had a weakness, and he was afraid of black vipers!
