The moment he heard He Youyou's nonsense, the lights in Lu Jian's room flickered for a moment and then went out.
The room fell into darkness, with only the moonlight shining through the windows.
"Hey, hey, can you hear...see, you..."
There seemed to be a problem with the signal of the mobile phone. He Youwu's voice became distorted and intermittent. Soon, there was no sound in the receiver.
Lu Jian saw that the signal was already a cross, which meant that he could not contact the outside world now.
"No wonder no one is renting around this villa. It turns out to be a haunted house."
Lu Tiao murmured to himself.
"I heard that the price of the haunted house is very cheap. If I can buy it, can I exchange it for another one?"
He quite likes this kind of open-air swimming pool.
Lu Tan glanced at the yard. The water in the swimming pool looked richer and deeper under the moonlight, like blood stains.
Ten years ago, the poor child was probably killed by a vicious criminal and his body was thrown into a weed-covered swimming pool. It was not discovered until many days later.
Feeling someone blowing air behind him, Lu Tiao turned around.
I saw several college students standing in the living room with gloomy expressions, waving towards Lu Tiao mechanically, like puppets on strings.
"You were bewitched and killed each other. After your death, your souls were bound here and became the child's puppet, just like a ghost?"
Lu Tiao didn't panic, took two steps forward and sat down.
"You invited me into the house during the day, do you want to scare me and make me leave as soon as possible?"
The college students had no expression on their faces and just waved their hands slowly and continuously.
"Or, if I invite you into the house, you can harm others at will?"
There is such a legend that ghosts are generally not allowed to enter other people's houses. Ghosts can only enter the house if invited by the owner of the house. Just now Lu Jian told these college students that if they feel scared, they can come to his side. It looks like
An invitation was sent.
"I am just an ordinary law-abiding citizen. If you have grievances in your heart, you should not go to me, but to the person who harmed you. Has he not been brought to justice yet?"
Lu Tan tried to reason with the ghost.
He felt a cold wind beside him, turned his head, and saw snowflakes appear on the TV. After a flash, a young man wearing blood-stained clothes appeared on the TV, his eyes were dark, and he shed tears of blood.
"I sympathize with you, but if you hurt those innocent people, are you the same as those who killed you?"
Lu Tan said while looking at the ferocious-looking person on the TV.
At this time, someone tapped him on the shoulder. When Lu Tiao turned around, the face of the young man whose face was covered with blood was very close at hand.
"Let's do it this way. You go to rebirth first, and I promise you that I will definitely find your murderer. Is that okay?"
Lu Tan's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrests of the chair.
He felt as if a rope was wrapped around his neck, breathing became difficult, his ears buzzed, and blood rushed to his brain.
But the melody in Lu Tan's hand has already been played.
It’s Du Danping’s [Midnight Music].
Lu Jian can play this melody under any circumstances with any sound-producing object, and this melody has the effect of calming people's minds and driving away evil spirits.
During Lu Jian's performance, he felt himself calm down, and the movements of the college students who were waving mechanically became slower. The TV screen disappeared, and before he knew it, only the young man standing with blood all over his body was left.
in the house.
"Just go in peace."
Lu Jian sped up the playing speed.
The young man's expression was complicated, as if he was unwilling to accept it, but also seemed to have expectations, and finally disappeared.
Under the moonlight, the whole mansion was silent.
After a long time, Lu Tan stood up and took a look at the swimming pool.
It was still deep and rich inside, and seemed to be contaminated by blood.
"Oh, it turns out it's my blood, so it's okay."
He checked the villa and waited until He Youwu and Chen Salvia drove over in a police car before slowly walking downstairs.
"So the murderer of the theft and murder case has not been found yet?"
After a few brief explanations, Lu Tan asked.
"One was found, to be precise, the body of one of them was found."
He Youwu felt that although the room was brightly lit, it still felt gloomy, as if something was shrouding it. Coupled with the description he had read in the file before, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Ten years ago, the surveillance was not so strict, so the identities of the two thieves were not actually found out at that time. It was only when a case happened later that when we were investigating the identity of the deceased, we found the stolen items in his house.
It was found that he was the prisoner back then."
"He was also dismembered?"
Lu Tan was curious.
"No, he committed suicide."
Chen Salvia looked around the house.
"According to the neighbors, the man behaved very strangely after he moved here. He often talked in a daze and had no idea what he was thinking. He was also afraid of the sun and looked like a mental patient. Then one day, he committed suicide.
But the way of committing suicide is very strange."
"How did you die?"
Lu Tan asked.
"He dug his own throat out with his nails. He tore it out forcefully. No one knew how he did it. When the landlord found him demanding rent, his body was already smelly."
Chen Danshen said a lot and then came back to his senses.
"Why am I telling you this... Ahem, in short, we have told the crime team that we can start with the criminals of the theft case that year and follow the clues of the stolen goods that year, and we should be there soon.
The identity of the prisoner can be found."
"That would be great."
Lu Tan applauded.
These days, most of the unsolved cases are old unsolved cases from the era before surveillance cameras were widely used. There are very few unsolved cases with particularly egregious plots like the Jiangcheng serial murder case.
"Tell me, why are you coming to this villa alone at night? Are you filming material for the next program?"
He Youwu joked.
"Absolutely. I actually came here to bask in the sun and swim."
Lu Kan told the truth.
"..."
Chen Danshen suppressed the urge to complain. According to his experience in dealing with Lu Tan, he would lose if he was serious.
"Then you are still staying here tonight? Can you sleep?"
"It's okay, but I really should go home."
Lu Jian has already obtained information about Hejima. The next step is to prepare to enter a foreign land. There is really no need to stay in this villa.
"Comrade police, can you give me a ride?"
"?"
Why is there a question mark?
Did the co-author really treat us as a free ride?
"But having said that, the agent didn't mention this to me before, and even though he was responsible for all the houses here, he let me live in this one..."
Lu Tan held his chin up and thought.
"...Do you think there is something wrong with that intermediary?"
Hearing Lu Tan's words, He Youwu and Chen Danshen looked at each other, and then their expressions became serious.
"What's the name of that intermediary? Give us a call."
