Old man Qian showed a trace of sadness on his face and said: "At that time, everyone thought that the death of the old policeman was inseparable from my little uncle, so they locked him in the bureau and questioned him every day. In the end, my little uncle couldn't stand the torment, so he jumped off the building and died. ”

I was silent for a while, and remembered that this was indeed a tragedy. I asked Old Man Qian, "Then what happened later?" ”

Old man Qian let out a laugh of "hehe" and said: "What else, these people don't believe in evil, and later some people bought this house to live in, but none of them ended well." ”

"Whose house is this?" I asked. Listening to Old Man Qian, this house seems to have been abandoned at that time.

Old man Qian said: "The earliest owner of this house is said to be a local fur businessman, who later went to Taiwan. The house was sold to a man surnamed Bai. ”

Somehow, maybe after I passed Liu Nan, I was extremely sensitive to people with the surname Bai, so I asked: "What is the background of this surname Bai?" Is there anything special about it? ”

Old man Qian said, "This surnamed Bai is said to be a scholar, named Bai Wenli, who originally made a living in the capital, but then somehow came to settle here." There is a beautiful wife at home, a son and a daughter under her knees, and she usually doesn't go out much, so she reads and writes at home, but there is nothing special. ”

I said, "What about later?" ”

Old man Qian said: "Later...... Later, it didn't happen to my little uncle. According to the nearby neighbors, they hadn't seen the family surnamed Bai go out for a long time, but the family didn't have much friendship with the neighbors, and they were usually low-key, so no one cared. So after the incident, no one knows where the family went. ”

"That's weird!" I can't figure out how this family of four could have disappeared for no reason.

Old man Qian sneered: "This is not the most bizarre, the best is yet to come!" ”

I was so curious that I urged him to hurry up and continue.

Old man Qian said: "After the incident of my little uncle, Bai Wenli's family disappeared again, and the house was vacant for nearly two years. Later, a merchant surnamed Duan came and moved into the house with the deed of the house. According to him, he met a man named Bai Wenli on the Shanxi side and gave him the house. ”

"So, the family surnamed Bai is actually far away?" I asked, confused.

Old man Qian glanced at me, did not answer, but continued: "About half a year later, late one night, the residents of the neighborhood suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise in their sleep, as if something huge was passing through the ground. At that time, many people thought that the earth dragon had turned over, and hurriedly climbed out of bed and escaped from the house. ”

But the sound only rang for about a quarter of an hour before it stopped. Later, many people outside the house said that they saw the small western-style building at No. 87, and suddenly the lights were lit upstairs and downstairs, and the lights were bright, and then there were the cries of children and the scolding of women. ”

As I listened, I just felt that something was wrong. Old man Qian sneered and said, "That house has a single courtyard, and it is built in a very remote place, and the neighbors closest to them are also dozens of meters away. But the crying and scolding of the child and the woman reached everyone's ears clearly. ”

"What's more, this family of three surnamed Duan has only one sixteen-year-old daughter in the family, where did any child come from?" Old man Qian said, "At that time, the nearby residents were panicked. The sound lasted for about half an hour before it faded away, and even the light dimmed. ”

"And then?" I couldn't hold back and urged.

Old man Qian's face turned a little blue, and he said hey: "Guess what, the next day, the family surnamed Duan was found dead in the house." Three men, each with a wooden barrel hanging from their bodies and hemp rope around their necks, were neatly hung from the beams of the house. ”

"What are you doing with a barrel?" I've seen a lot of hanged people before, and it's really not flattering, but I've never seen a hanged person with a barrel hanging on his body.

Old man Qian said, "Haven't you seen it?" Hey, don't say you haven't seen it, I haven't seen it at this age, old man. This bucket is for blood! The neck of this family of three was almost broken by the hemp rope, and when it was found, blood flowed down from the neck, and most of the bucket flowed. ”

I couldn't help but wonder when I saw Old Man Qian gesture the size of the bucket with his hand. Even if the man's neck was torn by a rope, it would not have been possible to shed so much blood, and almost the entire person's blood went into the bucket.

Old man Qian glanced at me with some surprise and said, "You little boy is not very old, but you know a lot of things. This is strange here, the blood on the three of them at that time was almost completely drained, and only a shriveled skin remained. ”

Although I am used to seeing corpses, I can't help but feel chills when I think about the scene of these three people hanging on a beam with a blood bucket tied to it.

"And then?" I couldn't help but ask.

Old man Qian sneered: "What else? Who can investigate this kind of thing clearly, the police have seen it, and in the end the case was closed with a hasty decision to commit suicide. ”

"After this incident, the house was empty for about ten years. After that, the city cleared the vacant house, and because the owner of the house could not be found for a long time, the house was auctioned off. At that time, there was an outsider who did not understand the things inside, and greedy for cheapness, so he recklessly bought this house. ”

When Old Man Qian said this, he looked at me deeply. Of course, I understand, this old man is using this to nud me, so that I don't want to be cheap and lose my life recklessly. I only have a wry smile, what Qingzi's woman decided, how can I question it.

"What happened to the outsider?" I digressed from the topic with a dry laugh.

Old man Qian snorted and said, "What else can I do, I'm dead!" But it was also his luck, his wife and children were too late to come over in his hometown at that time, and he lived alone in the house at the time. When it was found, the headless body was lying upstairs, but the head was found downstairs. ”

When Old Man Qian said this, he probably saw that I was not too afraid, and he said "Huh" in some surprise and said, "You little doll is bold, aren't you afraid to hear this?" ”

I snorted a few times, said of course I was afraid, and asked, "Has that man's blood also been drained?" ”

Old man Qian shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong this time. Not only did this man not shed blood, but there was not even a trace of blood on the ground! ”

I didn't believe it: "How can this man not bleed when he even lost his head?" ”

Old man Qian heaved a few times and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." ”

Hearing him say this, I knew that this old man had actually been to the scene in person.

"Although this person's head and body are downstairs and upstairs, and the head is different, the fracture is unusually smooth, and the color is extremely strange, as if it has been cooked, and those who enter can even smell the smell of meat."

"Really cooked?" I was amazed. Since I followed the third uncle and been in the industry for so many years, I have never heard of such a strange corpse.

Qian Lao's face turned pale, nodded and said, "I was there at the time, I saw the corpse with my own eyes, and I vomited on the spot!" ”

Thinking about it like this, even I, who is used to seeing corpses, feel a little sick to my stomach, and if I see it with my own eyes, I am afraid that I will really vomit.

Old man Qian said: "Later, this matter became a big trouble, and the wife and children from the outsider rushed to hear the news and heard the tragic death of their husband, and they cried loudly. In the end, no one dared to live in this house, and the wife of the outsider was also assertive, and after finishing her husband's funeral, she decided to demolish this house, so as not to leave a disaster for future generations. ”

"That's a great idea!" I gave it a thumbs up. Since you know that it is a murderous house, you should demolish it. But since the house is still there, it means that there must have been some problems at that time, so the house was not demolished.

Old man Qian said: "At that time, it was indeed ready to be demolished, but when the hired workers were about to do it, several leading figures in our Tancheng came over together, and there was a one-armed middle-aged man and a **-year-old child. ”

"I heard that this one-armed man's surname is Wen, and he is a famous warlock in the Jiangbei area."
