When seeing the email, Jose's first reaction was to encounter a prank.
But Jose was about to run out of water at that time, and he vaguely remembered that he had indeed heard Juan mentioned that he was adopted by a wealthy family when he was a child, so he replied to the email in Juan's tone, asking the other party to provide more information. much evidence.
Chen Dafa's team of lawyers is very efficient, and Jose received a reply within a day of sending the email.
In the letter, the other party provided a copy of the power of attorney of the estate that he did not understand, and explained all the questions raised by Jose in detail, and even said that "he" would be provided with a plane ticket to Texas. It seems that Not a joke at all.
billion dollars.
This is a number enough to make the hearts of most people in the world.
Jose couldn't help imagining how much he would get from his boyfriend when Juan got the big money.
But that night, when Jose was still thinking about how to tell Juan about it, Juan went home.
He took the medicine, and the whole person was in a state of excessive excitement, with obvious traces of having just had a good time with others.
The two soon quarreled as usual countless times, and then fought.
During the dispute, Jose punched Juan in the face, breaking the corner of the opponent's mouth.
Juan saw his disfigured self in the glass reflection of the closet, and immediately became furious, threatening to break up with Jose.
When he heard the word "break up", Jose, who was angry, quickly calmed down.
He understood a very important issue, he and Juan were actually long gone.
The reason why the two of them still live under the same roof and maintain a cohabitation relationship that exists in name only because they are both poor, so poor that they can't maintain the rent as long as they separate, that's all.
So, as long as Juan inherits that billion-dollar estate, does he still need himself
After Jose figured out this layer, he suddenly felt a chill to the bones, and in contrast, a stronger hatred.
He hates Juan.
It is obvious that the other party is just an orphan without a parent and no mother, but there is such a great deed of windfall.
-why it's not me
Jose repeatedly asked himself in his mind.
—Why is it not me who is eligible to inherit the billion-dollar inheritance
At this time, he felt that he heard a voice.
A "man" said to him:
- Kill him!
José looked at Juan's face that was seven or eight similar to himself, and listened to the voice in his mind and said:
- Kill Juan and take his place!
—Then the billion dollars are all yours!
&&& &&& &&&
"Did you kill Juan?"
Beiquan asked Jose.
Jose's lips trembled twice and he didn't answer, but his expression said it all.
"I...I just want money..."
Jose gripped the floor nervously with his fingers, muttering and repeating:
"I just...just want the money..."
Beiquan looked at Jose who was crying pitifully, and frowned slightly.
Now it seems that the ghost that has not appeared so far should be brought into the mansion by the fake Juan, that is, Jose.
-only…
Beiquan pondered silently.
He had released Guan Hu Suying last night, and Jose was living at the door diagonally across from them. The little fox should have sensed the ghost's aura right away.
So this means that Gui Gui left Jose's "former host" for some reason and found a new person to rely on.
Thinking of this, Beiquan's brows furrowed even tighter.
So far, Beiquan has checked the people in this room, including the corpses, one by one. Where else can the ghost hide
However, although there is no trace of the ghost, there is one more thing that can be verified from Jose now.
"correct."
Beiquan smiled at Jose and asked:
"Do you remember how you died?"
This question of his is a stroke of genius. For the person being questioned, it is more than earth-shattering, it is simply a bolt from the blue.
Jose stopped sobbing, raised his head, and looked at Beiquan blankly.
"You… what did you say?"
Jose didn't believe his ears at all, and repeated it in a daze:
"What did you say?"
Beiquan looked directly into Jose's eyes.
"You are already dead."
He said word by word:
"Do you remember how you died?"
"Do not!!"
Jose, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, let out a high-pitched scream and jumped up.
"No, no!!"
As he stepped back, he pulled his hair and kept repeating the word "No way" in his mouth, not wanting to believe Beiquan's words at all.
Beiquan didn't say much, just watched him retreat all the way to the wall in silence until he hit the corner cabinet.
"it is true."
He pointed to Jose's feet, "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."
Jose bowed his head reflexively.
"Look, what are you looking at?"
The next second, he was stunned.
Next to the corner cabinet was a flower stand, just as high as Jose's knees.
But now, the shadow cast by the flower stand after being irradiated by the ceiling light in the room went straight through his legs and landed on the floor.
"This-"
Jose widened his eyes, his expression turned hideous with extreme fear:
"It's impossible!! It's impossible!!"
He looked around in a hurry, and soon discovered that not only the shadow of the flower stand could penetrate his body, but even himself. There is no shadow at all!
"Yes."
Beiquan smiled coldly, and told the fact that he had noticed it long ago, but only now revealed it:
"You are dead, so there is no shadow."
Wei Fuyuan folded his arms and watched coldly.
Yesterday Beiquan taught him the method of "watching the breath". Although Young Master Wei was not very familiar with using it, it was barely enough for him to tell through the dark grey aura around Jose's body that he was not actually a living person.
"No, it's impossible! It's impossible!"
Jose was still shaking his head desperately, and at the same time raised his hands and gestured repeatedly to the light, trying to find his shadow.
"How could I possibly die! How, how could I die? No, no..."
He tore his hair frantically, looking almost hysterical:
"If, say, I'm dead... Then how did I die!?"
The voice fell, and Jose suddenly stopped screaming and struggling like a puppet whose clockwork had come to an end.
He stood there blankly, staring blankly at his hands.
"I...I remember..."
As if watching a first-vision movie, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind with the keyword "how did he die".
Jose heard the sound of gunfire and was immediately alerted that the situation was not good.
Jose knew that 80% of the time was going to be bad, and immediately thought of his true identity. For fear that the killing of Juan would be exposed, he did not dare to call the police. The only thing he could think of was to flee the house quickly.
But Jose, who was an impostor, quickly found that he was dazed by the complex terrain of this room with nine twists and eighteen bends. In a panic, he couldn't find the door at all.
Just as Jose was like a rat thrown into a maze, he was frightened and wandering around, desperately trying to find a way to get out, when he heard the footsteps of the gangster Martin boots on the floor, and then witnessed with his own eyes. The gangster with the gun was killed by Yamamoto Akihiko, and the seven orifices bleed.
And just when Jose was about to freak out...
"Yes... I... I remember... "
He shook his lips, grinned, and smiled horribly.
"I'm dead... I'm dead..."
As he spoke, Jose's beautiful face gradually faded away, revealing his true appearance as a dead person.
His appearance is still handsome, but his face is pale, his eyeballs protrude, his head is tilted to one side, and his neck is bent in an unnatural arc.
"Someone killed me..."
Beiquan asked:
"What did you see then?"
"I, I see... see a pair of hands..."
Jose tremblingly replied:
"A hand stretched out from behind my back... on my shoulders..."
Beiquan: "And then what?"
The tone of his questions was calm and gentle, as if he was hosting "Thriller Night Talks".
Jose blankly followed his words and continued:
"...I-I saw a pair of hands sticking out of the wall..."
"They crawl down my shoulders, up to my neck..."
"And then I died..."
Beiquan nodded.
"understood."
He rolled his eyes and smiled at Jose:
"Then, can I trouble you now to take us to the place where you saw those hands?"
&&& &&& &&&
This time, it was finally Jose who led the way.
The three returned along the same path, back to the place where Jose was attacked.
Beiquan guessed right. The wall where Jose saw the "hand" was right on the "central axis", that is, under the east wall of the room where Beiquan and Wei Fuyuan lived.
"right here… "
Jose, or rather, Jose's corpse tilted his head, raised his hand and pointed at the grandfather clock.
Beiquan smiled and nodded.
According to the agreement he had made with Jose, he turned out the Vientiane Pen, drew a simple spell, and then photographed the spell on Jose's forehead.
Jose's living corpse was loose and fell to the ground, never moving again.
He completed the task of leading the way, and got the deliverance promised by Beiquan.
Wei Fuyuan dragged Jose's corpse with a broken neck to a far corner, and then, following Beiquan's instructions, moved the heavy brass desk clock that was as tall as a man.
"hiss!"
Wei Fuyuan took a deep breath.
On the wall that was blocked by the clock just now, there was a hole the size of a palm.
"Break down the wall."
Beiquan pointed to the entrance of the cave.
Wei Fuyuan looked around, and soon found a European-style candlestick with three prongs on the top on a decorative cabinet. It looked very sturdy and could not only be used to smash walls, but also seemed to be a self-defense weapon.
He was very satisfied, stepped forward quickly, took off the candlestick, and turned back.
"and many more."
Before Wei Fuyuan started, Beiquan held his hand and reminded:
"Be careful."
Wei Fuyuan felt inexplicably warm in his heart and nodded vigorously.
Then, he stood in front of the hole, raised the candlestick, and slammed it down against the wall.
