"On the right-hand side of the second floor...", I gestured with my hand, "First household..."

"Hmm." The 'white fat man' said.

Since the old man's surname is Liu, his white and fat son is naturally also surnamed Liu, so he will be called Liu Fatzi later.

"Okay, where's the key?" I asked.

"Keys?" Liu Fatzi was stunned by my question.

"yes, who knows if the door is open or locked, and if it's locked, how can I get in without a key?"

"Oh oh..."

Liu Fatzi felt in his left and right pockets, took out a bunch of keys, and pointed to one of them, "This..."

When I took the key, I glanced at the crowd and saw everyone looking directly at me with horror in their eyes. I coldly threw the key up, and it fell back into my palm.

"Xin, let's go..."

Although the building of this family home is quite large, it does not seem to live with many people, and there are no lights in the courtyard. The fluorescent TV set that came out of the two houses on the fourth floor above was flickering on and off, ghostly.

The entrance to this building is narrow, and the door opens with a slight pull. With the magic weapon in hand, I asked Yuxin to follow me and walked up the stairs. There is no light in this corridor, and the stairs are potholed because of the age.

Although I met with this dead old man last night and saw him move, my kind of 'movement' gave me the feeling that he was moving under the control of the 'little monster', and I didn't see him move independently, so I was very nervous at the moment...

When we came to the staircase on the second floor, we stopped, and both of us breathed very lightly, and in the silence, we listened to the two hearts beating violently in the chest.

I gritted my teeth and took my breath, slowly pulled out my phone, and looked towards the room on my right. I saw that this room was equipped with an anti-theft door, which looked very new and well-made, and compared with the mottled and old exterior wall of this room, and painted with various graffiti, it seemed very incompatible. I think this old man should have spent money to pretend after winning the lottery.

I tentatively pulled it with my hand, but the door didn't move, so I inserted the key into it, opened the lock, held my breath, and pulled it with my hand, and the door opened silently...

Inside was an old wooden door, unlocked, but hard to push. I was afraid of making a noise, so I had very little force, and I didn't even push twice at first. The third time, I increased my strength, and the door popped open, and my calf twitched in shock. After waiting for seven or eight seconds, I didn't see any movement, I gestured to Yuxin, squeezed my fist, and walked in...

It's a big house, but it's not a living room, and there's no kitchen or bathroom. There was only one man-high wall in the middle, which should have been repaired by the head of the household himself, dividing the whole house in half, the outer half was used for cooking, the stove wall was blackened with oil smoke, as if it had been overheated, and the cooking utensils were covered with dust, and as for the rusty gas canister, it was like the kind of World War II bombs that the bomb disposal experts cleaned out of the soil was almost the same...

The half of the wall, I think, is where I sleep. There was a small door open on this wall, and a dirty curtain hung from it... Lift the curtain and go in, will you see the old man? … I listened with all my heart, but I didn't hear any movement in the cubicle, and I didn't sense any inexplicable aura... Looking back at Yuxin, I saw that her face was pale and her forehead was sweating...

I barely managed to squeeze out a smile at Yuxin, shook my head, and walked towards the small door alone. When I came to me, I calmed down, squeezed the talisman in my hand tightly, let out a loud shout, opened the curtain and rushed in...

Take a quick photo with your mobile phone, and there's no one in there! … I was relieved of my breath, and my legs were a little limp. Suddenly, I felt movement behind me, and I turned around suddenly, almost colliding with Yuxin.

The two of them retreated at the same time, patted their chests, and then said in unison, "I'm scared of you..."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Still laughing!"

As soon as Yuxin's feet were raised, I 'rubbed' to the side and hid.

"Ah Leng."

"Huh?"

"Why is there no one?" Yu Xin asked suspiciously.

I shook my head, and I was very puzzled in my heart, if it wasn't that I was inaccurate just now, then it was, this old man ran away again? …

The house has long been cut off from water and electricity, and I scanned it with my mobile phone, and at first glance I saw the painting of 'more than every year'... Looking down the painting, everything is the same as in the image, the table, the lamp, the drinking glass... Same...

I looked away and looked at something that wasn't in the image, only to see a bed against the wall. At the foot of the bed stands an old-fashioned wardrobe. Next to the wardrobe, there is a window with thick curtains. I walked up to me and reached out to open the curtains, only to see that the window was open...

Behind this building is a construction site, and in the distance, various building materials are stacked in a mess.

"Could it be that he came in through this window and ran away again?" Yuxin muttered.

I was noncommittal, I just wondered what the hell this old man was. Why is he still able to move and be conscious even when he is dead? …

Thinking so, I glanced around aimlessly, landed on the table, and suddenly my heart moved... The desk, a writing desk, to be exact, was quite old, with several drawers. I stared at the drawer and thought to myself, could it be that the dead old man had run back to his house to find something? …

I handed over my phone, "Xin help me take it, come, here..."

Walking over to the table, I reached out and opened the most marginal drawer, and saw that there were useless waste stamps inside, large or small, high or low, neatly arranged. In the second drawer next to it, there are some miscellaneous items, such as cigarette bags and pots, waste watches, broken mobile phones... And so on, you name it. I shook my head, closed the drawer, and when I raised my eyes, I saw Yuxin frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"It's damp and stuffy in this room, and it's a little uncomfortable..."

I smiled and took the phone from her hand, "I'll take it myself, you go to the window to breathe." ”

"No, it's fine..."

"Go." I can't say in the wrong place.

Yuxin hesitated and walked over. I opened the third drawer, and saw that there were some books inside, very old, but they looked quite new inside, and there was no writing. I took the notebook out of the drawer, shining it on my phone with one hand and rummaging with it with the other. Flipping through it, all of a sudden, something fell out of the middle of the two books.

When I looked at it, it was a few sheets of white printer paper nailed together. Picking it up and looking at the front, I realized that it was a contract, about money or something... The further I looked, the more frightened I became, and I hurriedly turned to the last page, and when I looked at the bottom, I saw two signatures, each with a red finger print. One of the signatures belonged to this old man Liu, while the other... When I saw the other signature, I almost didn't call it out, because this was clearly the name of the boss Wang who died in the brick kiln factory! …

What's going on? Didn't Yuxin say that the joint venture between Boss Wang and the old man was not negotiated until he died? However, how could there be a signed contract in this old man's drawer?! … My heart was pounding as I looked at the date of the contract... November 22, 2004...

My mind was racing... The boss of the dead ghost king ran to the master's house for help, and when did I give him a decision? … By the way, it's December 1st! (See the beginning of the first chapter of the first volume of this article)... And this contract, shown on November 22nd... In other words, less than ten days after this contract was signed, Boss Wang died...

I was about to tell Yu Xin about this important discovery, when I heard Yu Xin call me in a low voice, "Ah Leng..."

Yu Xin's tone sounded like something was wrong, and I was shocked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone's coming..."

"People?"

I took the contract in my arms, quickly picked up the notebook on the floor, shoved it into the drawer, closed the drawer with a 'bang', and threw myself towards the window.

Looking into the distance in the direction of Yuxin's finger, I saw a person coming in our direction. I don't know if there is anyone guarding the construction site downstairs, there is not even a lamp, and I am not afraid that someone will steal building materials. The sky was reflected red by the neon of the city that never sleeps, so that the area behind the lining building was even darker, and it was impossible to see who this person was at all, but it could only be seen that the way he traveled was very strange, and the speed was very fast, which was very different from ordinary people...

In a moment's work, this person was only more than ten meters away from this building.

"Let's go!"

I grabbed Yuxin's hand, and the two of them exited the compartment and came to the outer room.

"Ah Leng, where are you going?" Yuxin asked nervously.

I calmly used my mobile phone to take a look around, and I saw that the stove against the wall outside was quite wide, and the space under it was quite large.

"There, go..."

As soon as he and Yuxin got to the bottom, they heard the sound of the compartment as if it were a window, and there was a 'squeak', followed by a 'plop'. Listening to the voice, the man jumped out of the window and came in... This old building is different from the current building, and the second floor where Old Man Liu lives is three stories high in the current building. Because there is no bathroom, there is no sewer pipe on the wall of this building, and there is slippery moss on the back wall of this building, so there is no way to climb at all, I think, this should be the reason why Old Man Liu only installed an anti-theft door and did not install an anti-theft window...

However, this 'man' who came just now came up from the bottom in a blink of an eye, how did he come up and fly up? …

I grabbed Yuxin, covered her mouth with one hand, and held an ice talisman tightly with the other, calming my breath and listening intently...

'Goo-dong'... Another sound, and then 'click, click, I don't know what this guy is doing. Yuxin leaned against me, her body trembling a little.

The 'cooing' sound stimulated my eardrums, and I calmed down, and the ice charm was warmed up by me.

Suddenly, there was a 'bang'.

I was shocked, what's wrong?

After that sound, there was a deathly silence. There was silence for two minutes, and I was about to suffocate.

"I'll go out and have a look, don't move in here..."I leaned into Yuxin's ear and said in a low voice.

"I'll go with you..."

"No, obedient..."

Emerging from under the stove, I put my feet on the ground and walked towards the small door. After walking two steps, I suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that on the tall wall of the compartment, a person's head was sticking out, staring at me...
