Chapter 8 The House of the "Circle Master".
In the next few days, I was groggy, knowing that I couldn't analyze my own ability, so it was better to leave space and time for Qin Yiheng to ponder well, so I let go of my heart and slept hard.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Qin Yiheng called me. I thought he had found out some clues, but when I answered the phone, I found out that there was a house that came to the door, and he asked me if I would be interested in going to see it, and if so, I would go to his house to meet him.
I'm excited to hear that there's money to be made. We haven't opened in a long time. However, I thought about it for a while, and I was still a little hesitant, not that I was afraid of the things inside, after all, it was Qin Yiheng who blocked the gun in front, I just took into account that the house prices continued to rise during this time, but it was all inflated, basically there was no price in the market, and now at this time, it is possible to lose money in the future. So, I asked about the approximate location and price of the house on the phone. As a result, Qin Yiheng told me that this house is a new house built in imitation of a courtyard house, which is barely a kind of villa, in a prefecture-level city in the northeast, although the location is relatively remote, but the surrounding environment is good, and there is no need to worry about the price drop, and the price is also very real, all down there is a price of 700,000 yuan, and the transfer is also included.
I listened to his tone on the phone quite relaxed, I estimated that the problem of touching the house should not be big, and I looked at the location he said on the online map, judging from the map, the potential should not be small, it is said that the subway will also be repaired to this area, and it will definitely appreciate at that time. I was moved by the thought of it. During this time, my mood was already very low, and it was also a good thing to earn some money to stimulate my vitality, so I immediately agreed to come down, packed a few clothes and went to him.
When I went out, I remembered that in Qin Yiheng's style, the big wardrobe and plaster statue must still be in his house. I was really upset when I saw that thing, so I called him again and asked him to meet at a café.
The two met in the café, and Qin Yiheng talked about the house in detail.
This house was only built two years ago, and it is considered to be in a villa area, and now many rich people are tired of living in villas, and they want to return to the feeling of the old Beijing courtyard. The developer also took advantage of the fact that the last row of the entire villa area built a row of houses according to the specifications of the courtyard houses. At that time, the opening price was not low, and it was quickly sold out. This time we came to see one of the families, the earliest house was rarely inhabited, it is estimated that it was also bought by a large amount of money, and occasionally came to spend the weekend to live fresh. The surrounding courtyard houses are also similar to this one, and most of them are empty.
Coincidentally, one day last year, to catch up with the maintenance of the waterway pipes in this community, the property needed to go door-to-door to check whether there was any water leakage in the home, and the owner was found through the phone number of the owner registered in the property. This owner may also be busy with business, and he has not come to live in the courtyard for a long time, and he did not rush back at that time, but sent an employee to help open the door. Who knew that when the door was opened, everyone was so frightened by the sight in front of them that they almost fell over.
Because, right in the middle of the living room, there was a dead man, who had been dead for some time. It's just that the courtyard is big enough, and each courtyard is relatively far away, and the corpses stink and no one has found it. And what's very strange is that the one who died was a big man with five big and three thick, who actually wore women's clothes and wore heavy makeup on his face. There were many large wounds on the corpse, all of which were scratched with broken windows, and almost all of his body was stained with blood, and the whole person was in a very strange posture, with his hands and knees, just nested in the living room. The whole room was full of blood stains of this person crawling on the ground, which was very scary to look at.
Seeing that there was a human life, the property immediately called the police. When the police came to check, they found that there was no relevant identification information on the person, and he had never received a report of a missing person similar to him. After the investigators investigated the scene, and combined the strange dress of this person, they finally determined that a person with mental problems committed suicide here, and the case was closed.
Someone died so mysteriously in his own house, the owner naturally didn't dare to live in it anymore, and he may have needed capital turnover in his business during that time, so he sold the house to another person at a low price last year. Because what happened in the house, although it was not a sensation, it was also a topic of conversation on the streets for a while, so it is said that the price was very low at that time, and how low it was, I am afraid that it was lower than the price quoted to us now.
After the body was found, there was no news of a haunting, but it was still a murderous house in the standard sense of the word.
The person who took over was not a fool, he also wanted to invest in real estate at that time. In fact, to put it bluntly, what I did with the two of us was a business, and this person was barely an expert, because he used to be a "circle master" earlier, and he also knew some magic methods, so he used his own methods to clean the house inside and out. This cleaning is not just cleaning, but also includes a series of processes of raising and sending spirits.
When he had cleaned the house, he moved in first, thinking that he would live there for three or five years, and then sell the house when the matter of the house was almost forgotten, and then make the difference from it. The house began to fall and was stable, but there was a room in the main room where the door was not very good. However, this "circle master" is also alone, and he doesn't need such a big place to live, so he hasn't cared about it.
But recently, when he slept every night, he could always hear a strange intermittent sound, although the sound was not loud, but it sounded harsh in the middle of the night. At first, he thought it was a rat at home and bought a lot of rat poison, but it didn't work, and the sound became louder and louder. Suspicious, he spent a night keeping vigil to see where the movement was coming from.
In the end, he really found it, and the source of the sound was in the main room, coming from the room where the door was not good. He listened carefully that night and realized that the movement sounded like a man scratching the door of the room with his fingernails.
This "circle master" knows a little about magic, and naturally he has seen some of the world. At that time, he was not afraid, thinking that there was a thief in the house, so he directly opened the door to see what was in the house. Unexpectedly, the door was dead, and he riveted it hard to pull the door open, but the room was empty. He went in to take a closer look, but he didn't know that he had tripped over something, and when he got up and looked back, there was nothing on the ground.
Now the "circle master" began to break out in a cold sweat, he is also a knowledgeable person, and at a glance, he knows that this is something in the house. He didn't dare to sleep in the house that night, and the next day he came back with paper money ingots to worship, but at night, the sound was still the same.
Although this thing did not directly endanger people's lives, he knew that it would definitely not be a long-term solution to live like this, and in the long run, if this house appreciated, I am afraid he would have to lose everything. In the end, I didn't have a way, and I knew that Qin Yiheng and I were specialized in this business, so I contacted Qin Yiheng and wanted to sell this house to us, after all, we are much more professional than him. In this way, he will not lose, and we will still make money.
Listening to what Qin Yiheng said, this time he came to us as a second-class dealer. Now there is even competition for the murderous house? Instantly, I felt stressed. We are both merchants, and it is impossible for us to make a loss-making business, and since this man is a man who knows magic, if the things in the house are easy to handle, he will definitely not look for us. Isn't this house tricky?
I looked at Qin Yiheng's tone, but it seemed to be confident. I shared my concerns and wanted to ask him how sure he was.
He didn't answer directly, but told me that the so-called "circle master" is actually strictly speaking, it is the business of learning some magic in the old society, and then walking the streets and alleys to cheat money. The reason why it is called "circle master" is because people in this industry will put a copper ring or iron ring on their waist all year round, and a small gourd buckle will be placed on the circle all year round, and the mouth will be sealed with cinnabar. This gourd buckle is to hollow out a small gourd, install the dead baby's thumb bone in it, and then at the head of the village at the mouth of the alley, take off the copper ring or iron ring, and draw a small circle on the ground along the edge, if anyone's child accidentally steps into this circle, it is said that he will have a high fever on the night he goes home, and he talks nonsense, and then this "circle master" will take the opportunity to go to this house to sell medicine or exorcise evil spirits. In fact, it is to let the sick child take the gourd buckle. But the child's parents must not know the mystery, and they thought that they had met a master who saved their lives, so they were naturally grateful to Dade. If the family is well-off, give money to set up a banquet; If the family is not good, rice and noodles will also be sent. This "circle master" makes a living from this.
Later, with the development of society, more and more people saw through the tricks of "circle owners" to cheat money, and this industry gradually could not survive, and many "circle owners" changed their careers to fortune-telling or simply found serious jobs, but there are still a small number of "circle owners" who still guard this immoral business, and it has evolved into the use of crooked ways to abduct and sell children. The so-called "flower shooter" actually evolved from the "circle owner" at the earliest. Although these "circle masters" all know a little about magic, they are still mostly abducted and deceived by pits, and it is almost impossible to let them exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts.
After explaining, Qin Yiheng said: "So, what this person can't handle is not necessarily a big deal, maybe it's just a passing ghost making trouble for a day or two, let's take a look, maybe we will pick up a big leak." ”
He said it so lightly that my heart began to surge. Since that's said, who doesn't want to make this money, so he immediately responded.
The next day, we got on the plane. The "circle master" personally went to the airport to pick us up. People look more loyal than I imagined, not like a tricky and deceitful master, I guess I am also old, I look stable, after all, I am also in my fifties.
The "circle master" introduced himself as Xu Chuanxiang, and he nodded very politely when he met, which made me a little embarrassed. Xu Chuanxiang first took us to the booked hotel, put down the luggage, and took us to have a meal, the specifications are not low. Maybe he was really desperate, otherwise he wouldn't be so willing to bleed. During the banquet, Xu Chuanxiang talked about the house again, which was no different from what Qin Yiheng relayed. It's just that when he was talking, his tone was very uncalm, which was very inconsistent with his age, and he seemed to be really frightened by the things in the house.
I listened to it and felt a little uneasy in my heart, and seeing that Qin Yiheng's expression had not changed, I persuaded myself to put my heart in my stomach, and my heart said that everything would be talked about when I went to see the house.
After eating, Qin Yiheng proposed to go directly to the house to take a look, and he could still see it clearly while it was dark. The three of them didn't delay and went directly to the house.
