"Don't get excited, as buyers, we just want to know why you're selling your store."

In the nailed, airtight lobby, Ma Wei looked at the lame old man carrying a kerosene lamp, and said calmly: "When you go to the market to buy meat, you have to see how fresh it is, not to mention that it is an expensive property like a store, it is always right to be cautious, are you right?" ”

"I don't have much to say." The old man limped forward, although he was not as angry as just now, but at least his tone softened a little: "You don't buy it, some people buy it!" If you can't sell it today, you will sell it tomorrow, and if you can't sell it tomorrow, you will have the day after tomorrow..... Get out and get out! ”

The old man began to drive people away with a kerosene lamp, and seeing that he had a tough attitude and didn't want to talk more, Ma Wei had to leave the apartment with the source, and as soon as he went out, the wooden door slammed behind him.

"What an attitude!" The source waved his walnut cane and said angrily: "We are buyers anyway, we have no bargaining and no compulsion, and we are not polite at all!" ”

"Either there's something wrong with this house, or there's something wrong with Mr. Hamley." Ma Wei suddenly said: "The house prices in London are not cheap, such a restaurant located near the center of the district, the price will not be less than 1,000 gold pounds, but Mr. Hamlai gives the price is only one-tenth, and the apartment upstairs is also included.... Strange. ”

"But big brother, if you want me to say..."

The source put down the brim of his hat with a cane, sneakily approached Ma Wei, and whispered, "Such a cheap house, why don't we buy it!" 100 gold pounds can't be bought, you can't be fooled at a loss! With us people, what problem can't be solved? Don't be afraid of ghosts! ”

】

The words are true, they make a lot of sense, and even Mavi doesn't think there's a big problem with this house - for them.

How big can a small room be?

They who deal with the gods every day should have no taboos!

But....

Having said that, Ma Wei still doesn't want to show his strength here, this restaurant has been listed in the Times with a huge circulation for a week and has not been sold, which is definitely boring!

They are certainly not the first buyers to come to see the house, and since everyone knows that there is a problem, will the Ma Wei people who bought this house and solve the problem arouse the suspicion of the church?

The three Manstein brothers had no church faith, they were all 'ordinary people'.

What is the first solution that ordinary people think of when they encounter an extraordinary threat?

The police!

Church!

Ordinary people have ordinary people's ways to deal with it, but before that, Ma Wei felt that it was necessary to inquire about No. 27 Flower Street.

"Let's walk around here."

Ma Wei asked the coachman to wait where he was, and he took Yunia and the others to walk around the street, and after walking a short distance, Ma Wei locked on a tavern opposite No. 27 Flower Street, intending to start from there.

It was still early, the tavern was not yet open, but the lights were on in the shop, and Ma Wei stepped forward and gently rang the bell at the door.

Jingle Bell –

Jingle Bell –

Squeak...

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a black apron tied around his waist appeared in front of Ma Wei, who seemed to have not slept well and was in a state of malaise: "Sorry customers, we will only open after 4 pm." ”

"Ask you something." Ma Wei took out his coin bag, took out a heavy gold pound coin and stuffed it into the pocket of the middle-aged man's apron, and said with a smile: "Do you know anything about Mr. Hamlai?" ”

Touching the gold pound coin in his pocket, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, 1 gold pound is not a small amount, it is equivalent to his business profit for two nights, he is so generous, he is either a rich man or a nobleman.... Anyway, it must be a big shot.

"Please come in, please come in!"

The middle-aged man cheered up, invited Ma Wei and a few people into the store, moved a few chairs from the table and put them down: "A few people sit first, and I'll come after unloading the goods in the back!" Right away! ”

"Okay, you're busy first." Ma Wei smiled and nodded.

The middle-aged man hurriedly ran out of the back door, instructed the workers to move boxes of whiskey into the tavern, and it didn't take long to finish it, and when he came back, he poured a few large glasses of beer with bubbling and brought them to Mavi and the others, and Yunia also got a glass of lemon soda.

"About Mr. Hamlai, who lives on the other side...."The middle-aged man sat down across from Mavi and the others, smacked his mouth and said, "He's a miserable man, alas! The people who live in the East End are hard-working, but his fate is really regrettable..."

"What's so sorry?"

"Mr. Hamlai, a former soldier who served in the army, was wounded in a battle with the Kingdom of Popan decades ago, and although he did not lose his life, he was lame in one of his left legs, which is the position of his ankle, which was broken by a projectile." The middle-aged man patted his left leg and said, "After receiving a small pension, Mr. Hamlai retired and returned to London, where his family lived in a village south of London, and the luckiest thing in his life was that his father's brother died of illness, leaving him an apartment and a restaurant." ”

"The apartment and the restaurant are his inheritance?" Daniel asked.

The middle-aged man nodded: "The restaurant has been open on this street for decades, and Mr. Hamlai moved here, and within two years he married a wife and gave birth to several children..."

"Isn't that lucky?" The source took a sip of beer and said, "What's the problem? ”

"This is just the beginning!" The middle-aged man glared at him and said: "Originally, Mr. Hamlai was very lucky, but the bad luck started a few years ago, it seems to be four years ago, when there was an earthquake, which cracked the beam of the apartment, and everyone didn't care about it at that time, but the next day, when Mr. Hamlai's wife went down the stairs, the beam suddenly fell down and hit her head, and a good big living person was gone!" ”

"Since then, Mr. Hamlai has been plagued by bad luck, first his wife was stoned to death by a beam, then several children died of serious illnesses one after another, and finally his youngest son went crazy a year ago!"

"Crazy?"

"Crazy!" The middle-aged man swore and said: "It's like being evil, I am confused all day long, I don't recognize people and don't speak, I shrink in the corner of the room in a daze, I scream when I see people, I often go crazy in the middle of the night and make people can't sleep, and my tavern business has also been affected by him.... The neighbors who live on Flower Street say that Mr. Hamley's house is haunted! ”

"Since the situation is so weird, didn't Mr. Hamlai ask the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate for help?"

"I went right then!" The middle-aged man said: "Mr. Hamlay's other relatives all died violently, but this little son went crazy, Mr. Hamlai took him to the Whitechapel next door to find Father Michelle, strange to say, after Father Michelle gave him holy water, he returned to normal!" ”

If the holy water has an effect, it is likely to be related to the transcendent existence.... It seems that the bad luck that befell Mr. Hamlay's family must have been caused by something.... Ma Wei guessed in his heart.

"Strangely enough, Mr. Hamlai's youngest son is back to normal after drinking holy water during the day, but at night, especially at midnight, he still goes mad! When you see someone, you scratch and bite! Holy water is useless either! ”

The middle-aged man took a sip of beer to moisten his throat and continued: "Later, Mr. Hamley asked Father Michel to come to his house to perform an exorcism, and Father Michelle came, but he didn't find any problems, and finally even alarmed the bishop in this area, but after the bishop came to check, he also found nothing unusual, and finally determined that his relatives died one after another, and the blow was too great, causing the youngest son to go crazy...."

The communication and Daniel looked at each other, staring at each other with wide eyes and extremely strange expressions.

To be honest, they weren't sure if the holy water had an effect on mental illness, and if so, then there was a real possibility that Mr. Hamlay's youngest son was going insane.

The Immortal Realm of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny can only heal physical injuries for a period of time, and has no effect on emotions and spirits.

For example, if a prisoner is tortured for a long time, his injuries will recover in an instant, but the mental torture and painful memories cannot be eliminated, and over time, the spirit will collapse.

Priests and bishops can't find the apartment in question, is there really a problem?

If there is a problem with the apartment, Unia and Edward should have given a warning when they entered the apartment.

Including the Demon Spirit Wood Box, it also did not respond.

Is it really crazy?

Wrong....

Ma Wei thought about the information provided by the middle-aged man in his mind, and used the hypothetical principle, assuming that the holy water is effective for mental illness, so why is the holy water useless when the youngest son who took the holy water during the day returns to normal, and goes crazy at night?

No matter day or night, the effect of holy water is the same, there is no difference between day and night, and it is not a sanitary napkin....

It is clear that the source of the problem is not holy water, but Mr. Hamlai's youngest son!

"The neighbours thought Mr. Hamley's house was haunted, and Mr. Hamley seemed to think so, so he sold his apartment and restaurant and moved out of London."

With his hands spread, the middle-aged man smiled helplessly: "But who would dare to take over a haunted house?" Every buyer who has come to see the house has been unlucky when he comes home, for example, last time a gentleman signed a contract and paid a deposit to buy it, but he fell from the upstairs that night and broke his leg....."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes slowly widened, and he remembered something: "Several gentlemen, you... I won't go to the other side to see it...."

“.......”

Ma Wei thought for a while and said, "I did go to see it, but we are not afraid of bad luck, I don't think bad luck will be found in general..."

Smack!

The roof suddenly fell, and a wooden board fell down, smashing straight into Ma Wei's head, Edward Ping raised his palm, caught the wooden board steadily, and glanced at the middle-aged man: "It's time for your tavern to be repaired." ”

"It's... What does this have to do with our tavern! The middle-aged man screamed, "Obviously bad luck has found you!" Gentlemen, listen to my advice and go to Father Michelle for exorcism! It's too late! ”

Ma Wei took off the hat on his head, slowly patted off the dust on it, and put it back on, and finally showed a slightly weird smile on his expressionless face:

"Thank you for the reminder, but I'm not a believer, and since Father Michelle can't solve the problem of Mr. Hamley's house, let's go find someone who can solve it..... Boss, do you know where Mr. Dilloc Holmes lives? ”

"You know, he lives at 221 St Martin's Street in Fulham, sir, are you going to find Sherlock Holmes to settle the incident?"

"He's the most authoritative detective in London, and I'm sure he can help me with this."
