After Yanan left, I quickly cleared away all the meat dishes on the table, and then went back to the thrift store to pack my luggage for tomorrow.
By the way, since all the shops in the old alley only accept cash, I went to the bank in the city a few days ago to withdraw a lot of money in case of emergency.
What I want to say is that I invited you to have this meal tonight.
Che Yanan and I receive the same amount of support money from the old family every year.
She has a small appetite and does not need to take a lot of medicine, so most of the support money every year can be left over.
My support money is obviously not enough to spend, but I still have it.
Invite her to dinner.
I think everyone will understand what I mean by these words after reading this.
What I mean is that I am a more open-minded person, while Qian Yanan is very stingy.
Yes, I am venting my personal anger.
In addition, I hope that Asian men will not read this book.
When I returned to the store, I took out my suitcase, packed a few changes of clothes, carefully packaged the medicinal materials that I had not used during this period, and put them into the suitcase.
While I was away from home, I couldn't take a medicated bath, so I had to take medicine to strengthen my health.
When I saw that everything was almost packed, I ran to Yanan's bedroom and found the file bag from the bedside table.
She kept saying that she had two businesses and asked me to choose one, but the information in the folder had nothing to do with the first business.
This shows that Qianan knew what I would choose from a long time ago.
After opening the folder, there was a seven or eight page document and three color photos inside.
The three photos all show the same old villa, but the shooting angles are different.
The villa is in pure European style.
Although it looks a bit old, it is obviously taken care of regularly.
One of the photos shows the small yard in the villa, and all the flowers and plants have been carefully trimmed.
The document records the specific content of the transaction.
The name of the employer and the remuneration were written at the beginning of the document.
The employer was clearly Shi Huayin himself, but it also said that he had recently become insane and could not take care of himself.
It is said that since half a year ago, Shi Huayin would sleepwalk away from home every night, and each time he would walk five kilometers along the coastal road to the old villa in the photo.
Someone once followed him secretly to take a look, and discovered that Shi Huayin After entering the door, he wandered around the living room, as if he had hit a ghost.
He becomes particularly energetic after early morning, but during the day, his body is extremely weak and he has to stay in bed to recuperate.
He will have a high fever even if he blows the wind.
Moreover, he hardly has any normal time in a day, and he often lies in bed talking nonsense. , or just messing around.
The document also said that his parents did not know about Shi Huayin.
Let’s not talk about how Shi Huayin got in touch with Qianan in such a state.
Let’s just say that he encountered such a thing.
How could his parents not know about it?
The document describes some dispensable things in detail, but no reasonable explanation is given for such a key issue.
However, this document is not completely worthless.
At least it said that the Netherworld Tongbao was last discovered near this old villa.
The place where Netherworld Tongbao appeared at that time was "No. 72 Lao Qingxiang".
I speculated that this should be a house number, but the document did not give an exact explanation.
After reading the entire document, I suddenly had a very strange feeling in my heart.
I always felt that the employer was not Shi Huayin, but someone else, and the things recorded in the document were probably not true.
Why would Qian Yan prepare such a document?
Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock, I didn't think too much about it, so I hurriedly put away the document bag and went to bed.
At around four o'clock the next morning, before it was dark, Yanan called me and told me that she was waiting for me at the entrance of the alley and asked me to pack up and go out.
She got a high-end car from somewhere.
When I dragged my suitcase to the entrance of the alley, I saw her leaning against the car door with her arms folded.

She waved to me impatiently, signaling me to move faster. .
The driver was a middle-aged man around forty years old.
I had never seen this person before, and Che Yanan was not going to introduce her.
After getting on the bus, she said to me: "You take a plane to Nanjing first.
Once you arrive in Nanjing, don't worry.
I’ll catch my flight and walk around the airport before flying to Donghai after 2pm.”
I asked her: "Is there no direct flight?"
Che Yanan: "Yes, but you can't sit down.
Your trip this time must be concealed enough so that Che Yanan cannot notice it, otherwise, he will come out to disrupt the situation again."
After saying that, she took out a transparent glass bottle from the leather bag she carried with her, which contained a dozen small dark green pills.
Yanan handed me the medicine bottle and said, "I went to the pharmacy last night and took out thirteen Qi-holding pills.
This medicine can temporarily hide the anger and yang energy in your body, so that ghosts cannot detect you."
Remember, the medicine is only effective for one hour and has limited potency.
If you are too close to ghosts, they will still sense your presence.
The safe distance is five meters."
After a while, Qian Yanan told me again: "After arriving in the East China Sea, don't take action easily before you figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
In the future, you should develop such a good habit when you go out."
I said: "The ins and outs of the whole thing are clearly written in the document, aren't they?"
The man rolled his eyes at me: "Do you really think that document has everything clearly stated?"
Sure enough, she knew there was something wrong with the document early on.
But I didn’t intend to question him, I just said, “I think the employer of this business is not Shi Huayin himself.”
Yanan nodded: "The person who contacted me is indeed not Shi Huayin.
Judging from his voice and tone, that person should be elderly, highly educated, and well-educated."
I pressed my back against the seat: "No. 72 Lao Qingxiang, this should be a house number."
"Indeed," said Yanan, "that villa area was built during the Republic of China and abandoned after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
It was not until the early 1990s that foreign businessmen were hired to take over the business.
That place had not been taken care of for more than 40 years. , many house numbers are missing, so I am not sure which building No. 72 Lao Qingxiang is."
Speaking of this, Yanan paused for a moment before continuing: "At first, the foreign businessman planned to build it into a sea-view villa.
However, he spent a lot of money when he took over the house.
In addition, he had to renovate the old house.
This is another problem.
It’s a huge expense, so the house is very expensive, and due to some old rumors in the area, the house there can’t be sold at all.”
I frowned: "What rumors?"
Che Yanan: "It is said that in the early years, a murder occurred there, and it became often haunted.
The locals thought it was an unlucky place, and they were unwilling to even go for a walk during the day, let alone live there."
I thought about it and said, "Isn't that right?
I feel that the old villa in the photo seems to be taken care of regularly.
The flowers and plants in the yard are all pruned."
Kyanan said that around the turn of the millennium, the Shi family saw the opportunity and bought the old residential area from foreign businessmen at a low price.
The master of the Shi family is a very resourceful person.
He first secretly asked a Taoist to do something to dispel the negative energy in the old residential area, and then went around to refute the rumors, claiming that there was nothing wrong with the villa he sold.
The villa I saw in the photo was given to my housekeeper by the master of the Shi family.
It was only a nominal gift and the housekeeper did not live there.
In addition, he also found someone to take care of it every day and make it look like someone lived in it.
I asked Yanan whether the old villa in the photo was the scene of the murder.

Yanan nodded and said yes, and she also told me that the first resident of the old villa was also a famous local family member.
This person's surname was Song, but his specific name was unknown.
This Mr.
Song was originally a reasonable and good man, but in 1932, he killed his wife and a pair of children.
Six months before the murder, Mr.
Song dug a deep cellar underground and prepared three large tanks.
It is said that on the afternoon of the day when he took action, he first took his whole family to a famous local restaurant for dinner.
But as soon as he returned home, he took out a butcher knife, killed his wife first, and then his children.
He also chopped their bodies into pieces and put them on the ground.
It went into the large vat that had been prepared in advance, and finally put the vat into the cellar.
The whole process was less like a massacre and more like making some kind of delicious pickles.
Because the cellar was dug hidden, the incident was not revealed until five years later.
When Mr.
Song saw the incident at the east window, he hanged himself in the west attic.
As for how this matter was uncovered, it has been impossible to verify because it has been so long.
After Mr.
Song's death, the house has never been quiet.
People often see light coming from the windows of the old villa in the middle of the night, and floating figures flashing around, like ghosts wandering in the house.
After hearing what Che Yanan said, I couldn't help but ask: "Why don't these contents appear in the document?"
Qian Yan spread his hands: "I only found this out last night.
Are you questioning me?"
Seeing that she was going to show off her lecturing face again, I immediately responded: "Of course not, you are overthinking it.
It seems that this business is more troublesome than imagined."
Yanan sighed: "It's indeed troublesome.
But the reward is only 20,000 yuan, and the breath-holding pills alone cost more than that."
I said, "This business deal involves an antique that no one wants.
Why is it not mentioned in the documents?"
Qian Yanan: "I also heard that the three large jars used by Mr.
Song to hold the corpse were all from the official kilns of the Yuan Dynasty, but I'm not sure if this information is accurate, so I didn't write it in the document.
Where did you get there?
In the future, we must try to find the cellar.
According to the tip, the three large vats are probably still in the cellar."
It turned out that she was not sure whether there were any antiques.
It seemed that this time, I might have to go all the way in vain.
As for the reward of 20,000 yuan, for a medicine jar like me, it was just a toothpaste.
It was early in the morning and there were no cars on the road.
We had a smooth ride and arrived at the airport soon.
Before I got off the bus, Che Yanan gave me a lot of advice, telling me that after arriving in the East China Sea, I must not act impulsively, and I must never make a move without full confidence.
As for what she said, I just listened to it and didn't take it seriously at all.
What does it mean to be completely sure?
This is not about cooking.
You can only start cooking when all the ingredients are ready.
But I don’t have to listen to some words, and I still have to do some things.
I first took a plane to Nanjing, and followed Qianan's instructions and wandered around the airport for a few hours, and then caught the 2:30 flight to the East China Sea.
After getting off the plane, as soon as I got my luggage, my phone rang.

When I turned on my phone, I saw a strange phone number I had never seen before displayed on the screen, and the location of the number was Donghai
