Haunted Houses’ Chronicles

Chapter 88: Helpless

Views:

The night was so exhausting that I had no energy left to figure out what it was all about.

I glanced back at the bathroom. From the outside, this house is actually quite ordinary, except that it is a bit dilapidated, it doesn't look like a ship at all, and I don't know how Qin Yiheng understands that it is a ferry.

However, after observing for a while, I figured out something. After all, this house used to be used for flesh and blood business, and if it is not in order, there will be a secret passage to avoid inspection and escape, so Qin Yiheng disappeared, and it is very likely that he went out through that secret passage. Thinking about it this way, I think it is necessary to come back and have a look when I go back to take a rest.

I ate some breakfast on this street nearby, and sent Qin Yiheng a text message with the address of my hotel, telling him to meet me there. If it is true that his mobile phone is broken, he can still receive it when he gets a new one.

While having breakfast, I asked the owner of the breakfast shop about the bath center, and the information I got was no different from what I had heard before. However, to my surprise, the boss told me when chatting with me that the land in this area had been bought by a developer long ago. It was said a long time ago that it would be demolished, but the construction has not started until now. Many shops on this street heard the rumors and quietly expanded or built simple houses in order to earn more money when they were demolished, but now there is no movement at all.

I heard what the boss said, and I probably thought about it. Although this area is not the city center, the location is actually not bad. If the demolition starts, it will cost a lot of money. It may be that the developer has not yet prepared enough funds. So, I casually asked which developer it was. Unexpectedly, the boss's answer gave me a shock. He told me that it was called Hongda Group.

To be honest, when I heard the boss's answer, I really wanted to vomit his face of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Damn it, this house is not only related to Yuan Zhen, it even involves Hongda Group!

I thought for a while, the one who signed the contract with that old man should not be Yuan Zhen from Hongda Group, otherwise wouldn't this be contradictory? It is obviously impossible for his own group to buy the land but sell the houses on the land.

But if another Yuan Zhen did it, what purpose does he have? Could it be that they also bought it for investment when they heard the wind that it was about to be demolished? As a result, the house was not demolished after waiting for a long time, and the house could not be waited any longer, or the house was changed hands because of the need for capital turnover? But in my concept, he and Hongda Group should be in the same group.

I went to the street and looked around. Sure enough, as the owner of the breakfast shop said, many stores have been expanded by themselves, making each house look weird. Even this breakfast shop is an expansion of a clothing store next to it. part.

I lit a cigarette, but I didn't wake up at all, and my head started to feel dizzy instead. Many of the houses in my hands will also face the problem of demolition, so relatively speaking, I still have a better understanding. I pondered for a long time, and suddenly felt a little enlightened. I thought to myself, Yuan Zhen didn't buy this house just to be a nail household, to prevent Hongda Group from developing this piece of land? Then his goal was achieved, the house was useless, so he sold it

If it is analyzed in this way, is it also the reason why Hongda Group has not started construction until now? Because there is no need to start work. Could it be that it has something to do with recording the fetal dream

I was bluffed by my own thoughts, and if my guesses were to be believed, it was a huge undertaking. Let alone a few hundred million for this piece of land, how many hundred million will be spent, just to record the fetal dream in that house? Why the hell is this dream so valuable? Besides, wouldn't it be enough to just buy the bathing center? Even if it is for some reason to cover up people's eyes and ears, it won't take down the whole area, right

The more I think about it, the bigger my head gets. It would be nice if Qin Yiheng was here at this time.

After breakfast, I became even more dizzy, and I don't know if it was the concussion caused by the knock last night. Back at the hotel, I put the phone by my ear and fell asleep.

Because I kept thinking about the phone ringing in my heart, I didn't sleep too soundly, and barely slept until after three o'clock in the afternoon.

After waking up, I tentatively called Qin Yiheng again, but he still hadn't heard from him. He hasn't been missing for long now, so no one will care if he calls the police. And I calmed down and thought about it, he was probably the one who killed the other party, so I was a little worried that calling the police would kill him instead. But I definitely can't wait like this, so, before it was dark, I went to the bathing center again.

This time, I searched carefully for more than two hours, but I didn't see any secret passages or traps at all, so I had to go back to the hotel. I am completely helpless.

I don't know how long I have to wait here, and most importantly, I can't even find anyone who can help analyze it. In the end, I hesitated again and again, and could only call the old man.

The old man's tone is still the same, which makes people feel a little chilled. I told him that we have already explored the house and found a lot, but there are some questions, I hope he can answer them clearly. I didn't dare to tell about Qin Yiheng's disappearance, because I was also worried that this house was a trap set up by the old man, and I couldn't tell him that we had been caught.

The old man didn't respond on the phone, he just told me to come back to meet and talk, and the conversation ended.

I didn't delay for a moment after putting down the phone, and immediately bought a return ticket. I left a message for Qin Yiheng at the front desk of the hotel, and I went straight to the airport.

On the way back, I was restless, and when I got off the plane, I didn't even go home, so I made an appointment with the old man again, at the same teahouse.

When I arrived at the teahouse, I found that the old man hadn't arrived yet, so I lay down on the table and rested my mind for a while. After waiting for seven or eight minutes, the old man opened the door and came in. Without sitting down, he asked me to get up and go out with him, and took me downstairs to his car.

To be honest, it was really a risky move for me to follow in the car. However, I really have no other choice, I can only pretend to look out of the window calmly, but in fact my heart is beating extremely fast.

The car didn't drive for long, and stopped after two or three streets. I got out of the car and saw that it was a well-known villa area close to the city center. If you build a villa in such a location, you can imagine the housing price, so this is a serious area for the wealthy. I have been looking forward to taking over the house here earlier, but I have never encountered it.

I followed the old man into the villa area on foot, and I didn't understand why he got off the car. We walked quite a distance, and the old man took me into a villa.

I was quite disappointed with the interior furnishings and decoration of the villa. It was not as good as I expected. It is probably because the house in this villa area is relatively old. It can’t be seen from the outside. Once you enter the house, you feel rustic . The old man didn't show any politeness to me, and started drinking tea while sitting on the sofa in the living room. I didn't sit down immediately, but stood and looked around briefly.

The house is basically in the Chinese style, but it is much worse than the house the old man showed us before. There is a large brush calligraphy hanging in the main hall of the house. I can recognize the writing on it at a glance. It says "one household for all people".

Without the owner's permission, I can't go in anymore, so I can only sit down first, thinking whether it's better for me to ask first, or it's better to wait for the old man to open his mouth first. Just as I was thinking about it, the old man asked me first: "Where's that friend of yours?"

I was a little flustered when he asked, because I didn't know whether to tell the truth or lie. Then, I decided to prevaricate and tell the old man that my friend was unable to come.

The old man gave me a noncommittal look, continued to drink tea, and when he finished a bowl, he got up and asked me to follow him upstairs. Only then did I see what the rest of the house looked like.

The decoration upstairs is better than downstairs, but it's not much better. I followed the old man into a room, and the furnishings should be a study. The old man took out a book from the shelf and flipped through it, then handed me a note and asked me, "Do you know this thing?"

I took a look at the note and was completely stunned. This is not the first time I have seen this note, because it was written by Fang Wanjin when Qin Yiheng took me to find Fang Wanjin.
