Hu Zongren turned around and patted Li Jia on the shoulder, saying, buddy, you are really awesome. With just one word, we found a new clue. I also said to Li Jia, yes, thank you today, it is a help.
I'm very busy. I have nothing to do with you now. If you are anxious, just go home and tinker with your machine first.
Li Jia looked at me sideways, and through his thick lenses I seemed to be able to detect his displeasure with me. Sure enough, he said to me, I won't go back, this place has just become fun, I
We haven't been able to crush the villain's plot yet. Hu Zongren also said to Li Jia, it's not that we don't let you go with us, but the fact is that you may not have much experience with what we are going to do, so I think you will be scared. Li Jia said
, He doesn’t care, he must follow. It can be seen that he has been really idle recently and can’t sit still. I said to Li Jia, but we don’t know what will happen next, those bad guys are very vicious.
If you follow us, you will be in danger. Look, you haven't even had a girlfriend yet. If something happens, how will we explain it to your parents?
This is indeed the truth. Li Jia seems to be a person who has no interest in women. If I were his kind of person who stays at home all day, I guess my hard drive would be filled with various teachers’ teaching videos, and these
Most of the teachers' names have more than four characters. But Li Jia seems to have little interest in these things. He only knows how to play with his strange gadgets all day long. Li Jia pushed the frame of the mirror with his finger and said, just because of the danger.
That's why it's fun.
I felt that he didn’t understand me at all when I reasoned with him. If I continued talking, he would probably start hugging my thigh and start acting wildly. So I had no choice but to let him follow us. I reminded Li Jia, continue
We don't know what strange things we will encounter when we come down. I don't care whether you can help or not, but you must not hold us back. These are real guys this time. We don't want to be joking like usual. Remember
Come on, this is not a drill!
As long as I stay with Li Jia for more than an hour, I will be easily affected by his special frequency, so that I start to speak with a strange accent.
After returning to the garage, Fu Yunni asked me what I should do now. I looked at the time, and it was not yet four in the afternoon. Although the time was not late, it was not necessarily the case for Mr. Chen on the business card. Because
The business card said that the store he ran mainly sold all kinds of shoes. There was an unwritten rule in the Chaotianmen Wholesale Market. Since most merchants had their own fixed supply of goods, they were already there almost every morning at four or five o'clock.
The goods have started to be loaded and unloaded at the pier. This means that their rest time every night must be much earlier than that of ordinary people. Because of this, almost the entire merchant gate of Chaotianmen Wholesale Market opens at 4 p.m.
It closed around 1:00 p.m. We went to the store at this time. Counting the traveling time, it was estimated that no one was in the store. Moreover, several Taoist priests from Xuanyuan Hui left business cards asking us to find this person. The store was dead.
People are alive. Who knows where Mr. Chen is at this time. Fortunately, there is a phone number on the business card, so I told Fu Yunni that we will call Mr. Chen later.
Then I asked Hu Zongren to call Situ and tell him what we had gained today, and asked Fu Yunni to send Mr. Situ the white porcelain wine glass and doll eyes we found in the cave to see if he could detect anything new.
clues. The coffin was still in my car. According to the habits of our industry, if we are looking for other parts of a broken object, we will not put these things together to avoid
What accident happened.
After Hu Zongren finished the phone call, I handed the car keys to Fu Yunni. Firstly, it was because it was too hard for a girl to go by herself in the car on a hot day. Secondly, it was because we were in Hongyadong where we were currently.
The location is not very far from the Chaotianmen Wholesale Market, so we can just take a taxi ourselves. After Fu Yunni told Hu Zongren to pay attention to safety, she drove away.
I was standing in the garage with Hu Zongren and Li Jia. Li Jia was still holding his remote control model. I took out the phone, called the number on the business card, and turned on the speakerphone. The call was connected.
Finally, after a man whose voice sounded a little hoarse and who felt very lethargic said hello, I suddenly realized that I didn't know how to tell the other party about this while I was on the phone.
I asked him, are you Mr. Chen so-and-so? He said yes, who are you? I said I found you based on the business card someone gave me. Have you had sex with a group of Taoist priests recently?
Contact? This is my own idea, because since the Taoist priest of Xuanyuan Society left his business card to us and even engraved his information on the wooden sign, this seems to be able to explain that this group of Taoist priests and this Chen
They should know each other. But Mr. Chen answered me very surprised, "What Taoist priest?" He didn't know any Taoist priest? I hesitated and asked him again, "Do you know the Xuanyuan Society?" He seemed a little unhappy.
Come on, say it loudly, I know about Xuanyuan Sword, but I don’t know about Xuanyuan Society! Besides, who are you? Why are you calling me to ask these questions for no reason? Are you the one responsible for all the strange things in my store?
of?
Okay, now I understand. It turned out that all the things that led us to find Mr. Chen were because something strange happened to him. And what's strange, needless to say, it's a ghost thing.
I looked at Hu Zongren, and Hu Zongren also understood that if we didn’t figure it out, we might not be able to pass the test this time. So Hu Zongren nodded to me, meaning to ask first before talking. So I asked Mr. Chen,
What strange thing happened in your store? Mr. Chen suddenly became angry and said, I knew someone must be messing with me behind my back. You are the developer, right? I tell you, I said I won’t move.
I will not move even if I die! I quickly told Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, you have misunderstood. I am not a developer. That’s it. We received a business card from you here. We have also recently been working with some religious groups.
I have been dealing with friends in the industry, so I took the liberty to call you. You said that you encountered some strange things in your store. If my guess is correct, it must be something like a ghost, right?
Mr. Chen seemed to calm down a little. He said that he didn’t know what it was, but it had been going on for several days, and now he couldn’t even open the door for business. I told Mr. Chen that it was a coincidence.
, you probably won’t believe that I happen to be a person who specializes in catching ghosts for a living. He said that you are also a Taoist priest? I said that we are not from the same clan but from the same origin. If you can trust me, I will come to you.
Come here to take a look, but I promise you, I am really not from the developer. I can’t even figure out where you are. It’s only today that I found out about you. Why do you think I have to fight with you for no reason?
After some hard talk, Mr. Chen finally agreed to meet with me. I told him that I would bring a few people there because I still had some personal matters that I had to deal with. Now it seems that I must figure out the trouble you are dealing with. Let's
In order to continue. I did not explain some specific things clearly to Mr. Chen. To be honest, the less we know about ordinary people like him, the better. My master once told me that most people can live peacefully and contentedly.
, because they know too little about the truth. Otherwise, our group wouldn’t have to pretend to be a ghost again and again.
Mr. Chen told me the specific location. This place is behind Chaotianmen Pier. It is the oldest commercial building built in Chongqing Chaotianmen Market. Although I have never been to that place, I know that there is almost an entire building.
, they all sell footwear products. We were not far away, so after we rushed there, we waited for him in a cool place for a while. Mr. Chen looked less than 1.7 meters, very thin, almost 50 years old, but already
His cheeks were sunken. He looked very much like a cancer patient who had gone through several rounds of chemotherapy. When he saw a few of us, although I still greeted him politely, from the look in his eyes, I still
It could be seen that he had extreme distrust of us, and even insisted that we were the villains deliberately recruited by the developer to occupy his shop. At this point, Hu Zongren became a little angry, and he said to Mr. Chen, we
We have no choice but to come here. We have to take care of your affairs before we can proceed with our own affairs. Who do you think cares about whether your shabby stall is haunted or not? I told you that we are not from the developer.
I don’t know who you are showing to us by making such a bad face here?
Hu Zongren had a loud voice and did not seem to be a kind-hearted person. So when he was so angry, Mr. Chen was really a little scared. I think that since Hu Zongren had already made the relationship a bit tense, he had no worries.
I said to Mr. Chen, let’s do this, you can tell us about your store.
Mr. Chen just said that the incident happened four days ago. Recently, he has been having trouble with the developer. He has been operating this store for 20 years. As the entire building is to be demolished and constructed, many merchants in the building have gradually
After moving away, he became one of the few poor households. He said it was not that the compensation was not adequate, but that the location to be moved was too far away. He had lived in this area all his life and was unwilling to go so far away.
The place does business, but if you don’t do business, you won’t be able to support your family.
I had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with the developer that day. I closed the stall relatively late that afternoon, but when I opened the shop again the next day, I found that almost all the shoes on the display racks in the store had been placed on the floor.
