Chapter 13: The Haunted House

"Strange things? What do you mean? ”

"It's something that's not the same as usual, or something that hasn't happened before. Let's say there's a fire! Snow flies on the top of the mountain in June! As long as it's something new or weird! ”

Master Wu frowned, and said while thinking: "The fire prevention and theft prevention work on the mountain is very strict, and there has been no fire. There was no snow in June, and at most there was hail. As for the novelty..."Master Wu paused for a while, then suddenly raised his voice: "There is such a thing! ”

My heart jumped, and I said urgently: "What is the matter?" ”

"That happened the month before the murder, and if you hadn't kept asking today, I wouldn't have remembered." Master Wu said.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Inexplicably, I feel like I'm about to touch the truth of the Meishan murder case. Xiao Hei seemed to feel the same way as me, although he didn't interject all the time, he also moved closer to Master Wu at this time.

"It was March two years ago, and the tea garden was planning to expand its house on the top of Meishan Mountain. At that time, the name of Meishan green tea became more and more famous, the scale of the tea garden became larger and larger, and the original house could no longer meet the needs of the business... It was really a golden time..."Master Wu fell into the memories of the past, "The location of the new house was personally chosen by the chairman of our tea garden, just north of the top of Meishan Mountain, opposite the old row of houses. I don't know if you noticed it just now, but it's a wasteland now. ”

When Master Wu mentioned this, I had some impression that there was such a wasteland on the top of Meishan Mountain, which was quite large, full of stones and construction waste.

"And then?"

"Later, the construction started in March and the foundation was dug smoothly, but I didn't expect that when the construction officially began, something strange happened!"

I didn't speak, and quietly listened to Master Wu talk about strange things.

"It's strange to say that when the house starts to be built, as long as it is built to a certain height, it will fall down for no reason. Build once, build once, build once! The house has been built for a week, and there is only one foundation! ”

"Strange... How so? Have you found out why? ”

"There's no problem with the quality." Master Wu shook his head, "The construction team we invited is also well-known in the industry, and we have cooperated many times, there may be corners, but it is impossible to cut corners so obviously." ”

"Since there is no problem with the quality, it is something else. Didn't you find out? ”

Master Wu said: "We suspected that it was a feng shui problem at that time, so we invited a feng shui master to go up the mountain to see it. The feng shui master circled around the foundation and said that the feng shui of that place was not good, and asked us to change the place. ”

"Isn't feng shui bad?" I muttered, "Did that feng shui master say why feng shui is bad?" ”

"Nope. The feng shui master chattered, only said that feng shui was not good, and the others did not explain, so he took the money and left. ”

"And then?"

"Later... We didn't even have time to start working in a different location when those things happened..."

Those things naturally refer to the murders that followed.

"Feng Shui is not good... Feng Shui is not good... This is strange, what is wrong? I muttered to myself.

"Oh! Speaking of weird things, there's one more! Master Wu's words caught my attention, "When the construction team was laying the foundation, they once dug up a strange animal skeleton under the ground. The skeleton was small, some like a dog, some like a wolf..."

"Bones?" I was shocked, "What did you do about it?" ”

"Do you mean the animal bones?" Master Wu waved his hand, "It was taken away by Lao Jiang of the construction team." The old Jiang was an antique fan, and he said that the skeleton looked a little old and wanted to take it home for study. The others were disgusted with filth and let him take it, but they didn't have any opinions. ”

There are some animal bones that look like dogs and some like wolves, and what happened on Meishan later, is there any connection with what happened on Meishan later? Extrapolating from the time, there is a great connection, but ......

"Master Wu, do you have the contact information of that old Jiang?"

I thought about it, and since I had such a clue, I better follow along.

"Old Jiang! We used to drink together a lot, but now we haven't seen him in over two years and don't know how he's doing. If you want to check, I'll tell you the address of his house. ”

Master Wu reported an address, and I wrote it down. We talked as we walked, and this time we walked to the bus stop at the bottom of the mountain, and Master Wu said, "Young man, I have told you everything I know, and if it is useful to you, I will be very pleased." ”

I smiled at Master Wu: "That must be useful." ”

Master Wu touched the little red flower in his hand, and tenderness flashed on his face: "I should go, my wife should be anxious." ”

It wasn't until Master Wu was far away that Xiao Hei approached me, and he had been some distance away from me and Master Wu before. "Are you afraid that Master Wu will recognize you?" I asked Blackie.

"No, I met him once, or during the trial, I was sitting in the crowd, and he probably didn't remember me. I was just... I feel a little guilty... After all, my mother cut him quite badly. ”

I sighed lightly, patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think about the past." Let's go find that old Jiang, I suspect that the murder in Meishan has a lot to do with that animal skeleton! ”

Lao Jiang lived in a village on the outskirts, and when Xiao Hei and I arrived at that village, it was already getting dark.

The name of that village is a bit evil, it's called Fengmen Village. When we entered the village, we grabbed an old man and asked him where Jiang Yifu's (Lao Jiang) home was.

After listening to our question, the old man looked vigilant and even said that he didn't know.

We didn't care, we found another middle-aged man and asked him the same question.

The middle-aged man's face was a little strange and asked us, "Are you his relatives?" What are you looking for him for? ”

I said that I was not a relative, and that I had something to do with him.

The middle-aged man didn't speak again, pointed to a house in the village, and retreated far away.

We felt a little strange, but we didn't think much of it and slowly walked to the house.

It was getting dark, and the house was dark in the dim light, and there was no light.

At this time, if there are people in the house, they should all turn on the lights. Thinking of the strange attitude of the villagers, I suddenly had a sense of foreboding in my heart.

I looked at Xiao Hei, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Go up and knock on the door."

It was a small, two-storey rural building with a yard. We walked to the closed door and were about to knock when we suddenly felt something strange.

The door in front of me was two iron doors, covered with rust and cobwebs, as if they hadn't been opened in a long time!

"It won't be unoccupied, right?" I spoke my own judgment.

If someone lives in a house, the door won't look like this!

"Let's go to the village chief first and find out the situation!"

Xiao Hei and I retreated and found the Fengmen Village Neighborhood Committee.

After identifying himself as a student of the police academy, the village chief told us the truth about the old Jiang family.

The truth is still a tragic tragedy!

That house is indeed the old Jiang family's house, but that house has not been inhabited for a long time. Two years ago, Lao Jiang's entire family was dead!

He died in that house!

One morning two years ago, Lao Liang's family of three was found dead in their own home. Lao Liang's wife and six-year-old daughter were hacked to death with a kitchen knife, and Lao Liang hanged himself in the yard.

It was a tragedy that shocked a radius of ten miles. The police attached great importance to it, but the conclusion of the investigation surprised everyone - the murderer was Lao Liang himself!

No one knows why Lao Liang suddenly went crazy and killed his wife and daughter.

It's just that since then, rumors of haunting have begun to appear in Lao Liang's house. Many times in the village, the people of the village saw that in the middle of the night, the electric lights in that house would sometimes come on for no apparent reason, and all kinds of strange sounds would come from that house!

There was once a young man who did not believe in evil, in order to exercise his courage, broke into that house at night, and after the result came out, he had a high fever for a week, and finally begged a local goddess, so that he could save his life.

Over time, the house became a forbidden place in the village, and no one dared to approach it at night!

"I heard it's a haunted house, shall we go inside?" Standing in front of the haunted house, Xiao Hei's voice was a little hesitant.

It was already dark, and the haunted house in front of me stood alone in the dark night, and there was no light around it. Remembering the tragedy that had happened in the house and the horrific rumors that the village chief had told us, my heart beat a drum.

It's a haunted house! It's big night again, but it's a good time for ghosts to come out and wander!

"Do you want to go in, Blackie? The key to unlocking the Meishan homicide may be in this haunted house, and there may be something terrible inside, should we go inside? "I leave the choice to Blackie.

To be honest, I am still a little scared of this unknown haunted house in front of me. Faintly, I could feel something terrible in the haunted house, which made me mumble in my heart.

The failure of the exorcism in the morning had a great impact on my psyche, and I realized that with my current ability, I couldn't deal with those terrible things at all.

Blackie was silent, I couldn't see his expression in the night, but his body slowly straightened.

"Chen Shen, I am already very grateful for you helping me get to this point. Let me go into this haunted house alone. After all, this matter has little to do with you. Black's voice was resolute.

"So, you decided to go in at night?" I shook my head helplessly, and said in a relaxed tone, "Then I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!" ”

Xiao Hei turned his head to look at me, with gratitude in his voice: "Chen Shen, why are you helping me so much..."

"Didn't I say that," I smiled faintly, "because we're classmates!" ”
