Chapter 54: Thoughts of Sin
Chapter 54: The Thoughts of Sin "What!?" Not only Ye Yu was shocked, but even You Yong had a stunned expression, only Liang Yunxiao was still calm and couldn't see any emotion.
"This ...... This...... I do not know...... Team Zhou...... You......! "You Yong has already spoken.
"Oh, of course you don't know." Chen Tao glanced at You Yong. "This was a few months ago, when this house still belonged to Zheng Qiu."
"What the hell is going on!? Don't...... You killed someone! Ye Yu looked at Zhou Hao vigilantly, subconsciously pulled You Yong, and distanced himself from Zhou Hao.
"It was just an accident!" Zhou Hao hurriedly argued. "At first, we just wanted to scare him, but we didn't expect it...... Something like this happened! ”
Chen Taopi snorted without smiling, and hugged his arms to look at Zhou Hao, as if he wanted to listen to his own explanation.
Zhou Hao hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't bear everyone's pressure-filled eyes and began to tell the story.
"At that time, the boss took a fancy to this land and planned to develop it into a high-end resort together with the surrounding areas, and successively sent people to talk to Zheng Qiu several times, and even offered a high price of hundreds of millions of yuan, but Zheng Qiu was very stubborn and refused to agree, and there was no room for negotiation."
The boss even communicated with Zheng Qiu's children abroad, and the other party actually had plans to take Zheng Qiu abroad, but what had no choice was that Zheng Qiu himself did not agree. At that time, except for Zheng Qiu's house, the surrounding houses had been demolished, and if Zheng Qiu did not move out here, the entire project could not be carried out, and the company would suffer a big loss, so ...... So ......" Zhou Hao began to stand up.
"So you're trying to find a way to get people away?" Ye Yu said.
"Alas, the higher authorities gave us a death order, let's let Zheng Qiu move out within a month anyway, no matter what method is used, or everyone will lose their jobs......" Zhou Hao sighed, looking very helpless. You know we have to feed our families too, and we can't help it, so ...... I came up with a plan......"
"Plans? What is planned ......"
"We heard that Zheng Qiu is very afraid of cats...... So he went to catch a dozen cats, and quietly put them into Zheng Qiu's house one night. Later, I heard that Zheng Qiu was very frightened during that time and had a nervous breakdown......"
"Zheng Qiu was an old man at the time, how did you do such a thing!" Ye Yu said angrily.
"We were also dizzy at the time, and we were really forced to be anxious from above......" Zhou Hao lowered his head.
"But as far as I know, Zheng Qiu shouldn't have been frightened to death, right?" Liang Yunxiao interjected.
"Yes, I remember you said before that the cause of Zheng Qiu's death was exhaustion caused by sudden allergies?" Ye Yu looked at Zhou Hao.
"We later learned that the reason why Zheng Qiu is so afraid of cats is because he is allergic to cat hair......" Zhou Hao turned his head to the side, his eyes flashing a little. I'm afraid that the cat we released happened to be the source of Zheng Qiu's allergen, and Zheng Qiu was old, so he ......"
"What are you...... You're murder! Ye Yu's eyes widened.
"I said it all, it was an accident! I didn't know he was allergic to cats! Zhou Hao raised his head and shouted. Besides, this matter is not my idea alone, Jiang Xin, Li Yuchen, and Qian Yunneng ...... Including Chen Tao also participated! Why don't you blame them! ”
"Hehe, do you blame me? Are you really sure you've said everything? Chen Tao looked at Zhou Hao coldly, obviously having something to say. Would you like me to add one? ”
"Chen Tao!!" Zhou Hao was obviously a little anxious, and hurriedly interrupted his words, and kept glancing at Chen Tao behind Ye Yu and Liang Yunxiao's back. "Okay, it's all my fault, but I've said everything that needs to be said, you should understand, there's nothing left to add!"
Seeing that Zhou Hao was cornered, Chen Tao seemed to have achieved his goal, and hooked the corners of his mouth proudly: "Okay, Team Zhou, you just need to remember important things." ”
Ye Yu looked at Zhou Hao and Chen Tao in front of him, and obviously felt that there was something in the words of the two, but it seemed that they would not confide half a word if they were investigated, so he planned not to ask for the time being.
"Judging from the previous situation of the cat's corpse, this murderer obviously knew about your behavior of intimidating Zheng Qiu by letting the cat go, and this incident should be revenge against your construction team." Ye Yu analyzed.
"Although I don't know the specific identity of the murderer, but now that the enemy is in the dark, the safest thing to do is for all of us to gather together and wait until dawn to leave here and call the police."
"No way!" Zhou Hao refused. "I don't think it's the best way for us to get together, who knows if that murderer will set a trap to kill us together!"
"This time, I agree with our Zhou team." Chen Tao echoed strangely. "Otherwise, we will each go back to the room, lock the door, and don't go out before dawn, the murderer can't get in even if he has a backup key, this is the safest way."
"Yes...... But ......"
"Just do what they say." Surprisingly, Liang Yunxiao also agreed with the views of the two. "I'm tired anyway, and I want to go back to my room to sleep, since this is revenge against the construction team, it shouldn't have anything to do with me."
"I ...... I don't want to be alone in my room! I'm afraid ......," You Yong shouted anxiously. "It's better like this, I'll go to Xu Yanwei's room to accompany him, he is not in good health and needs to be taken care of."
"Okay." Seeing that everyone was so insistent, Ye Yu could only compromise. "Then everyone goes back to their rooms to rest, remember to lock the doors and windows, and if there is an emergency, be sure to shout for help."
After taking care of them, everyone went back to their rooms.
Ye Yu, Liang Yunxiao and You Yong came to the left side of the second floor together. After Ye Yumu sent You Yong into Xu Yanwei's room, he turned around and prepared to return to his room opposite.
"Reporter Ye." Liang Yunxiao stopped Ye Yu.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yu stopped.
"You'd better not go out at night, no matter what you hear."
"Why?"
"Just listen to me." Liang Yunxiao smiled. "I'm afraid the 'evil spirit' of this house has already been dispatched."
Before Ye Yu could continue to ask, Liang Yunxiao turned around and went straight back to the room.
What does that mean? 'Evil spirits'? Forget it, I still don't want to......
Ye Yu had a headache, so he shook his head and went back to the room.
------------------------
Zhou Hao walked into his bedroom, carefully locked the door, closed the curtains, and went straight to the bed with a flashlight.
OK...... Stuff is still there.
Zhou Hao leaned down, carefully took out a small cloth bag from the pile of debris under the bed, and held it on his chest.
Ever since he heard Ye Yu's analysis that the murderer might have the key to this house, Zhou Hao has been worried, for fear that someone would break into his room and discover the secret under the bed.
Zhou Hao tilted his head, held the flashlight between his shoulders, and gently lifted the cloth bag with both hands, revealing a small metal box inside.
It was a delicate silver vanity box, engraved with ancient ornamentation, and it should have been an antique of a certain age in terms of workmanship.
Zhou Hao caressed the box, carefully wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and then opened the box.
An antique ruby bracelet lies quietly inside the box.
Whether it is the workmanship or the style, the vanity case on the outside is immediately dwarfed by this bracelet. The silver bracelet is partly engraved with a bizarre inscription, which seems to be the script of some ancient country, but what is even more remarkable is the blood-red gemstone engraved on it.
The bright red gemstone surface is overflowing with a strange multicolored hue, which makes the whole bracelet appear to shine. Although Zhou Hao didn't know the specific name of this gem, he always felt that this thing must be worth a lot.
It must be worth a lot of money, right...... Otherwise, how could Zheng Qiu go to great lengths to hide? Zhou Hao thought silently.
If it weren't for that rumor, if it wasn't for overhearing Zheng Qiu's words, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come to this point.
That's right, this bracelet was stolen by Zhou Hao, from Zheng Qiu.
In fact, it was rumored a long time ago that Zheng Qiu, as an antique collector, had a lot of treasures in his private possession, many of which his children did not even know. And the secret that Zhou Hao inadvertently glimpsed on that day eventually led to a series of subsequent actions, including that incident.
Zheng Qiu, Zheng Qiu, if you want to blame, blame yourself for not being careless that day. And his children, they don't even know that their father has hidden such a good treasure, they are really a bunch of fools.
Zhou Hao sneered, carefully put away the box, wrapped it in cloth, and put it back under the bed.
There should still be a lot of these treasures hidden in this house, and when I send that reporter and some feng shui master tomorrow, I can search for them with peace of mind...... ......Shhhh
Zhou Hao suddenly thought of something, and his heart suddenly beat wildly.
Someone died today...... Tomorrow the police will definitely come here and search it thoroughly, what if they find that place......
Thinking that his financial path might be cut off, Zhou Hao suddenly became a little anxious.
What to do...... What to do......
"Before the police come...... Find all the treasures and hide them.'"
A voice flashed in Zhou Hao's mind, like a demon's whisper.
Right! That's right! Just remove the stuff before dawn, even if the police find the place!
Zhou Hao suddenly became excited, and immediately turned around and planned to dig out the toolbox.
"But...... There are still people who covet my treasures......
Zhou Hao's movements suddenly paused, and Chen Tao's sinister smile suddenly appeared in his mind.
'When you have good things to do together, that's what you do, isn't it?' ’
No, no! You think beautifully! Baby is what I found! It's all mine! No one is allowed to rob me!!
"Whoever robs me deserves to die!"
Zhou Hao's only remaining reason also gradually collapsed with the bewitchment of the demon in his heart, and a morbid frenzy devoured his whole person. At the same time, an evil thought came to mind.
In that case, hehehe...... Chen Tao, you brought this on yourself!
