"Do you know why I want to cooperate with you?" Chen Zibai said lightly.
"What's the reason?" Liu Xinke's eyes flickered. He didn't understand why the other party said that at this time. She had already been talking about the inheritance just now, but she suddenly asked such a strange question.
"Why?" He pretended to be confused, "Because you lack help?"
"That's right, and that's wrong." Chen Zibai slowly brought the conversation back to the topic, "Because it's illegal to snatch the inheritance. That inheritance... has no heirs at all."
"Heir?" Liu Xinke was startled. This was something Jian Yan had never mentioned before, "What do you mean..."
"Yes, because there is no legal heir, this is bound to be a robbery," Chen Zibai's figure looked gloomy under the dim light, "and in the process of this robbery, there will inevitably be bloodshed."
"You want me to kill people?!" Liu Xinke's eyelids twitched in fright. Of course, he was just pretending, "I don't dare to do this job! I have money to make but no life to spend! If we go out and get caught by the police, none of us will
…”
"Who would know?" Chen Zibai said disdainfully, seeming to mock his cowardice, "This invitation from the owner of the villa is a declaration of war. The eight of us are the only people in the world who are qualified to share this inheritance, and
The owner of the villa is probably one of us. Do you think he invited you here to treat you? He invited you to the Hongmen Banquet!"
"What can we do even if this is the case?" Liu Xinke still shook his head with a guilty conscience, "If you kill someone, you will never be able to live with it for the rest of your life, and you will be sentenced to ten to twenty years or even the death penalty... I cannot afford the price."
"Do you think you can live a stable life if you don't take action?" Chen Zibai sneered, "If you don't take action first, you won't even be able to get out, and you are still thinking about the future?"
She continued: "Taking a step back, even if you are really lucky or go out, you still don't know Zhang Linchuan's background? If you two leave the villa, do you think he will take revenge on you? The largest consortium in city x
The plutocrats want to kill you, but they can’t even make a splash.”
"Then what do you mean..."
Seeing that Liu Xinke was a little shaken, Chen Zibai struck again while the iron was hot: "Think about it, what kind of inheritance is worthy of Zhang Linchuan's rich and famous people who have no worries about food and clothing? I still don't know what this inheritance is, I just heard about it.
But it’s definitely not an ordinary thing that can attract Zhang Linchuan’s attention..."
After a moment of silence, Liu Xinke finally nodded with determination: "Okay, I'll listen to you whether this deal can be successful or not!"
As if to cheer himself up, he added: "Zhang Linchuan, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
…
"Have you finished talking?" Jian Yan stood beside the security guard and Chen Zibai. The three of them were at the stairway from the second floor to the third floor.
"There's nothing to talk about. I just checked to see how he was doing." Chen Zibai spread his hands and said that he didn't think much about it.
Jian Yi nodded, but he didn't believe Chen Zibai's words of talking about people and ghosts, so he only agreed because of the appearance.
"Those two, are we going in like this?" The security guard crossed his arms.
There is no heating on the third floor. Although the windows are closed all year round, the temperature is still much lower than downstairs.
"What else?" Chen Zibai took the lead and pulled open the yellow sign that said "No Entry", "You still want to get a gun? Please, there is nothing dangerous here."
'Let me tell you, I actually took a gun...'
Jian Yi complained in his heart, and in order to carry forward Han Tianzun's great spirit, he immediately shrank back: "Which of you will go up first? I will be the last."
Seeing him shrinking, Chen Zibai had no choice but to take the lead and walk up the stairs.
Neither of these two grown men wanted to take the lead... She silently walked upstairs.
The air becomes noticeably duller as you go higher, possibly due to the lack of ventilation for many years, or possibly due to the lingering smell of the human remains.
Just the smell of dust...
After a quick and easy analysis of the components of the smell, there was no bloody smell in it as he imagined.
But that's right, after all, this corpse has become a withered skeleton. Even if there are blood stains, it may have dried.
Turning a corner of the stairs, the three-story white door came into view.
This is exactly where Chen Zibai said the body was found.
Jian Yi, who didn't step forward at first, walked over first. He stretched out his left hand and touched the door. The dust was very obvious.
"Oak door, white paint..." Jian Yan retracted his hand, took out a tissue from the inside of his coat and wiped it, "I'm afraid this villa is at least one year older than us, so it can be considered an old house.
."
There was an obvious spot in the middle of the wooden door that was not stained with dust. It happened to be a human figure, but this "human figure" had no legs and looked like it was sitting cross-legged.
"The body was supposed to be sitting next to the door?" The security guard glanced at the mark on the door in surprise, "Then how did you knock it over, Dr. Chen? And it just rolled downstairs?"
"This..." Chen Zibai hesitated for a moment, and then explained to the two of them, "The light was too dark at the time, and I couldn't see clearly..."
Just pretend...it was obviously morning, and the light wasn't that bad, especially since there was a light on the stairs. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it clearly.
Sure enough, he had his own purpose. Jian Yan glanced sideways and then looked away.
He knew very well that even if he continued to struggle with this issue, Chen Zibai would not let go.
Burying this question deep in her heart, Jian Yan opened the door casually.
"Squeak..."
The old wooden door made a weird creaking sound, as if what was opening was not a door but a dusty time.
Suddenly, an old smell hit their faces. The smell made Chen Zibai and the security guard retching and almost vomited out the food they had just eaten.
If I had to use one word to describe this smell, it would be pigsty.
"In a room that hasn't been opened in decades, you should have been mentally prepared." Jian Yan calmly took out another piece of toilet paper from his coat, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the door as if nothing had happened.
A few seconds later, two or three mice sprang out from the corner of the room, and then disappeared again.
"It doesn't make sense..." Jian Yi ignored the pale two people behind him and said to himself after walking into the third floor, "If we say that in a closed space, it is impossible for mice to have the ability to reproduce after so many years and there are only two or three left.
, let alone jumping around... Where do their survival resources come from?"
These mice represent one thing: this villa has not been abandoned and has always been occupied by people.
