Chapter 36 The Old Man Who Eats Candles This chapter is dedicated to thanking "Are you afraid of the dark"!

"Your father-in-law had a big fight with someone a month ago, do you know about this?"

As soon as Wang Qi arrived in the back garden, he was stunned when he saw Nini and Shen Xuan standing together.

And Shen Xuan didn't give him time to be stunned at all, and suddenly asked a question as soon as they met.

Wang Qi smiled bitterly.

"A month ago? I don't know. Liu Xi and I rushed back from other places after my father's accident. ”

"What about your eldest sister and sister-in-law? Don't they know either? ”

"Liu Li came back a day earlier than us, and Liu Wen was a day later than us. I don't think they know about it. ”

"That's it! Hey, I see that you don't have a maid for such a big house? ”

Shen Xuan took a cigarette in his mouth, scratched his chin and thought for a while before asking.

"After Liu Li came back, she gave the servants a holiday, after all, the Liu family is also a family with a head and a face in the provincial capital, and this kind of thing is not good to spread."

As soon as Shen Xuan heard this, he knew that he couldn't ask for any useful information from the family's mouth, so he immediately asked again.

"You have a monitoring room, right?"

"This one is, it's in the basement."

"Take me to see it!"

"Good! But Nini, she ......"

Wang Qi nodded in agreement, but hesitated a little after seeing Xiao Nini.

"Nini wants to follow the ugly brother to save grandpa!"

The little girl grabbed Shen Xuan and said in a firm tone.

"Uh...... All right! But Nini must be obedient and don't make trouble! Otherwise, tell your mom and let her spank your ass. ”

"Alright, alright! Nini is obedient, the second aunt is really verbose! ”

"You kid!"

Wang Qi smiled helplessly, and led Shen Xuan into the basement through the back door.

More than half of the basement is used as a garage, and a brick wall is used on the side to separate a place that houses the monitoring room.

Wang Qi opened the door of the monitoring room and said apologetically.

"The security guard in charge of the control room also had a holiday a month ago, and no one has been here again, and it's dirty."

Shen Xuan leaned his head into the door frame to take a look, nodded with satisfaction, and grabbed Wang Qi, who was about to go inside, and said.

"Alright, it's none of your business, go ahead with your business. Oh yes! I'll stay here tonight, except for Zou Ping and your daughter-in-law, don't let anyone know about my existence, it's very important, understand! ”

"Ahh

Blowing away Wang Qi, who was a little dazed, Shen Xuan squatted at the door of the monitoring room, looked inside the monitoring room, looked at the garage again, and muttered.

"How strange!"

Shen Xuan's strange thing was that the garden outside was densely filled with hundreds of ghosts, but in a dark and damp place like the basement, which was the most suitable for ghosts, there was not even half a ghost shadow.

After thinking for a while, without coming up with a clue, Shen Xuan walked into the monitoring room and sat in front of a row of computers.

Liujia Castle covers a huge area, and the number of monitoring heads is also very large, and three monitors are used, with a total of 27 monitoring screens.

18 outside the castle and 9 inside the castle.

Shen Xuan first looked at the outside surveillance one by one, and found that it was indeed all around the ancient castle.

Then I looked at the interior, the nine monitoring heads in the room are one at the entrance of the castle, two in the living room on the first floor, and the rest are corridors and stairs.

The pictures of two of the living rooms caught Shen Xuan's attention.

Because the above is a live broadcast of the situation of Zou Ping and Master Zou pretending to be forced.

I saw that Zou Ping was wearing a pair of slippers in the picture, cross-legged Erlang, sitting on the sofa. This guy didn't know when he changed that pair of A-grade sneakers.

Gu Ming stood beside him like a little brother.

On the opposite side sat Shen Lang and the old man in white who came with him, and on the left sat Wang San and the old man in black. At this time, the two old guys didn't know what to say to Zou Ping, and they looked like they were talking happily.

Sun Weijun and Xu Meiting stood not far away with the Liu sisters, quietly pointing at Zou Ping's back.

"Ping Shao has finally found his own stage!"

Shen Xuan said with emotion.

After looking at it for a while, Shen Xuan suddenly asked Nini.

"Little beauty, do you remember where your grandfather quarreled with that person?"

"Uh~ Nini think about it, oh yes! It was in front of the gate, when the uncle was about to enter the house, but was stopped by the security guard, and then the grandfather came out, and the two of them quarreled. ”

The little girl bit her finger and thought for a while before saying.

"Is this it?"

Shen Xuan pointed to the surveillance screen facing the gate of the ancient castle and said.

After receiving the little girl's affirmative answer, Shen Xuan began to operate the mouse to find the surveillance video from a month ago.

More than ten minutes later, Shen Xuan paused the fast-forward screen, pointed to a man on the screen, and asked Nini.

"Is this the uncle?"

"That's right! It's him who quarreled with his grandfather, he's a bad uncle! ”

Nini said angrily.

The man in the picture is in his forties, of medium stature, and a little bald, which is completely the standard image of a middle-aged greasy man. However, there were two characteristics that caught Shen Xuan's attention.

One is the man's eyes, which give people a very gloomy and cold feeling.

The other is that this man's face is gray, and at first glance, I thought it was a dead face.

After watching it for a while and remembering the man's face in his heart, Shen Xuan pressed the play button, and the picture on the screen began to play.

"Ugly brother, this can be sounded!"

Seeing that Shen Xuan was about to plug his head into the monitor, the little girl kindly reminded.

Shen Xuan's rare old face turned red, and he actually forgot about this stubble.

With the help of the little girl, there was an intermittent sound in the speaker on the side.

At the beginning of the scene, a security guard stops the man and tries to prevent him from entering the castle, but the man appears to be quite agitated, constantly shouting at the castle with his head outstretched, and pushing and shoving with the security guard.

After a short time, an old man appeared in the frame, and the old man seemed to know the man, first broke off the security guard, and then started talking to the man.

It's a pity that the monitoring head is too far away, and I can't hear the specific conversation between the two people clearly, and I can only occasionally hear the vague voice of the man saying "dead man" and "concealing".

And the old man was also quite excited, waving his arms from time to time, as if arguing about something, but unfortunately he couldn't hear a word clearly.

The two quarreled for more than ten minutes, and the man stared at the old man, gritted his teeth and said a word, then turned around and left.

Shen Xuan heard this sentence clearly.

"Liu Shengli, wait and see! None of you can run! ”

Then there was nothing noteworthy in the screen, and after Shen Xuan watched it more than ten times, he began to watch the footage of other outdoor surveillance heads

At this time, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and Shen Xuan took it out and saw that it was WeChat sent by Zou Ping.

"Third floor!"

There were only two simple words, but Shen Xuan understood, and finally started to enter the topic and go to meet Liu Shengli, the protagonist of this incident.

Turning around to look at the picture in the living room, sure enough, everyone had already left.

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment and replied.

"Let me hear it!"

On the side of the living room, after everyone chatted for a while, Liu Li came over and said.

"Since everyone is here, let's trouble a few people to come with me to see my father!"

Everyone got up and followed Liu Li to Liu Shengli's room on the third floor.

Zou Ping deliberately walked at the end and quietly sent a message to Shen Xuan.

After seeing Shen Xuan's recovery, Zou Ping pressed the dial button of his mobile phone, and after two tapping sounds came from the earpiece, he kicked the mobile phone into his trouser pocket and followed everyone up to the third floor.

Walking to the third floor, Liu Li led everyone to the innermost room, the door of the room was closed, Liu Li held the doorknob, turned her head and said to everyone.

"My father just fell asleep, please don't disturb him."

After that, he opened the door and walked in first, and everyone was about to follow in, when they heard a scream, and Liu Li staggered out in horror.

"What's wrong with the eldest sister?"

Liu Xi and Liu Wen hurriedly stepped forward to hug Liu Li to prevent her from falling.

Gu Ming's eyes flashed, and he rushed in with an arrow step.

Then Zou Ping and others also walked in.

When I entered the room, I was shocked by what I saw.

I saw an old man with gray hair squatting on the floor, and in front of him there were more than a dozen red candles as thick as his arms, and the old man was holding a candle and gnawing violently.

The cheeks bulged high, undulating as the teeth closed, and the finest pieces of chewed candles fell to the ground along the corners of the mouth.

Hearing the voice, the old man raised his head and grinned at the crowd that had poured into the room, revealing his teeth stained with broken candles, crimson and ugly, and his eyes were full of white kernels, covered with cyan veins.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! ”

The old man's mouth came out of a low, hoarse voice.
