Chapter 6 The Haunted House (2)
The windows of the house were closed and dark. Pu Zixuan lit a torch to explore the way forward, but Zhu Yuanliang stepped back again: "What the hell is it, why don't you forget it."
Pu Zixuan was also afraid, so he took out his necklace and plucked up the courage to say to Zhu Yuanliang: "What are you afraid of? My father told me when he was a child that this necklace has divine power and can save our lives at critical moments, don't worry."
At this moment, Pu Zixuan hopes that there are really powerful powers in the world that will help him escape at the critical moment.
Zhu Yuanliang stopped making trouble when he heard this, and followed Pu Zixuan slowly, half-believingly.
In the silence of death, something suddenly passed by, which scared Zhu Yuanliang to jump up.
Pu Zixuan held the fire and searched for the voice and said, "Don't be afraid, it's a mouse."
There are three rooms on the first floor. Pu Zixuan opened one door after another. Every time he was so nervous that he had difficulty breathing, but fortunately nothing unusual happened three times.
The two went up to the second floor again. There were also three rooms on the second floor. When they opened the first two rooms, they were still quiet. Pu Zixuan's hanging heart gradually calmed down, and he opened the third room indifferently. He also deliberately turned back and said to Zhu Yuanliang: "Everything is normal, the task is done!"
Unexpectedly, when Pu Zixuan looked inside the house again, a little boy's face suddenly appeared, and it looked extremely strange against the torch! The two of them were immediately scared to death.
Zhu Yuanliang also shouted: "Ghost! Ghost is coming out!"
Pu Zixuan calmed down a little and said, "It's okay... he's a child."
The child walked out and asked cowardly: "Who are you?"
Seeing that the child was about twelve or twelve years old, Pu Zixuan asked back: "You...who are you?"
"I don't have a name, you can call me 'little tree'."
Pu Zixuan asked in wonder: "You...you...you...you live in this place?"
"yes."
"Is there anyone else living in this house?"
"It can be said that there is, or that there is no."
The boy's words were really unreasonable, and Zhu Yuanliang urged: "Go... go quickly..."
The boy asked again: "Who are you? Are you here to play with me? Or are you here to kill me?"
Pu Zixuan laughed and said, "No... I'm sorry, I've gone to the wrong place and disturbed me. Let's say goodbye now."
The two of them were really worried about something strange and left in a hurry.
When he arrived on the street, Zhu Yuanliang was still shocked: "It's so terrible, what's this?"
Pu Zixuan said: "It's terrible, but there's not a piece of meat. The more you do this, the more fun it is. Let's start with Zhao Chengyi who committed suicide seven days ago, and ask if you're afraid?"
The streets are very popular, and Zhu Yuanliang finally became masculine: "His grandma, this aroused my curiosity. How could there be a child in the house sealed by the government? Check!"
So the two came to the place where the strange woman appeared. They saw that the two-story building was also locked in the door, and the dust covered the ground in front of the door, and there was no popularity at all. Pu Zixuan asked to the old man selling buns next to him, "Master, do you know what happened to Zhao Chengyi?"
The old man looked at the two of them, as if curious that they didn't know about this, and replied, "You don't know this? Zhao Chengyi, this woman has been living alone in this house before, but seven days ago, she committed suicide in the haunted house on the other side of Li'an Road. Alas, it's a sin. People say that her family is unlucky and they are afraid that she will resurrect the business of my bun shop will also be affected."
Resurrection? Pu Zixuan was shocked and asked again: "I know this. I am asking, why did she commit suicide?"
The old man asked alertly: "What is the purpose of asking this?"
Pu Zixuan made up a lie and said, "Oh, we are his cousin from afar. I didn't hear her commit suicide. I came to Lijiang to see the situation. She died so suddenly that she didn't leave anything. Our relatives also need to know one thing and let her die just to the right place."
The old man then responded: "So that's it. Thank you for your hard work, but although Zhao Chengyi and I are neighbors, our age difference is too big and we have very little dates. I really don't know why she committed suicide."
When I was disappointed, an aunt who was eating in the bun shop called the two of them to sit down and said, "I know some. I run a medicine shop nearby. Zhao Chengyi often came to me for medicine due to illness a few months ago, but it was always difficult to cure it. I felt guilty for a long time. Oh, later, I suggested that she go to the pharmacy in the provincial capital to find a better doctor. She said she had no money, so I refunded the medicine to her and asked her to go to the provincial capital. As a result, it was found that it was an incurable disease. It was probably because of this reason that I had a short opinion."
After learning about the reason for Zhao Chengyi's suicide, the two invited Lu Zhen to a dinner party and continued to ask about the situation of other suicides. After drinking for three tours, Lu Zhen revealed some information: "In addition to Zhao Chengyi, there are two other people who know the name: one is Mu Runtang, the owner of the Dianjia pawnshop. He committed suicide here seven years ago because of business losses; the other is four years ago, the then-boss Liu Jinxian, who was found to commit suicide due to corruption, was more famous than these two.
Zhu Yuanliang sighed: "It's either rich or noble, is this the common point?"
Pu Zixuan cursed without thinking: "You pig brain, won't Zhao Chengyi have no money? Besides, Brother Lu, the suicides with names and surnames we can find are of course slightly more identities. You will hurriedly draw conclusions when you see the surface. This is called "a leaf is blinding, no see Mount Tai". To know the truth, you can only put yourself in your shoes and investigate."
Zhu Yuanliang complained drunkenly: "Come on, I have spent a day with you and ran around the city. I haven't been so diligent in patrolling yet. I'll go back and rest first, you can check it slowly by yourself."
Zhu Yuanliang said that "going back" was indeed going to Kaixin Mansion again. After experiencing such a turmoil, he, a man, dared not go back to his broken house alone to spend the night. Pu Zixuan grew up alone since childhood and welcomed the arrival of this childhood friend, allowing him to live at will. After Zhu Yuanliang left, he asked around and finally obtained some valuable information.
Back at the Happy Mansion, Pu Zixuan called Zhu Yuanliang, who was snoring loudly, and said, "I found it! It turned out that Mu Runtang had fallen off the horse's back and fell to his paralysis; and the boss Liu Jinxian once said that he was in poor health and wanted to retire early. In this way, the biggest possibility is that the suicide person has serious health problems."
Zhu Yuanliang's intention to drink was not fading, and he shouted, "Okay, the mystery has been solved. Let's stop here. If I don't attend, I will drink the northwest wind next month."
Pu Zixuan said helplessly: "You go to bed, tomorrow, I will go and confirm it alone."
Zhu Yuanliang asked in a desperate manner: "How to confirm?"
Such a thing would have been tired if ordinary people had long been, but Pu Zixuan felt that it was only one step away from finally solving the mystery. He had already prepared himself. Before he got home, he bought a chicken-feather shuttlecock on the street, so he took it out and said, "Little boy."
