My phone can catch ghosts

Chapter 5 The Old Man Walking Alone Late at Night

Boss Gao looked at the door, and there were few pedestrians, so he leaned on Luo Hao and said in a low voice: "The previous owner of this jade hairpin was named Chen Shi, a strong young man in his twenties, and he was very honest, but he was bedridden because of a family illness. His old mother, and others are filial, so although she has a good character, she has never married a wife."

"It's a pity that God is not fair, and it's hard for a good man to live. Just half a year ago, a disaster occurred in his home. A group of thieves broke into his home, killing their mother and son, and their bodies were burned. The only thing left was This hosta."

Luo Hao asked suspiciously: "Is there nothing bad about that?"

Boss Gao shook his head and said: "I heard that when Chen Shi's body was found, Chen Shi held the jade hairpin tightly in his hands. At first I didn't know about it. I bought the jade hairpin from Uncle Chen Shi and thought I picked up a I didn't expect it to spread, and everyone knew about it, so no one would buy this jade hairpin."

Luo Hao chatted with Boss Gao again, and only got the address of Chen San who sold his jade hairpin back then, but he didn't know much about Chen Shi.

After Luo Hao said his goodbyes, he rushed directly to the address Boss Gao had told him.

"Maybe this hosta can give me a clue to complete the mobile phone task."

The location is not far away, Luo Hao came to the place that Boss Gao said not long after.

The withered and yellow weeds had been trampled out of a small path, and both sides of the path were full of garbage. In front of the path, there were rows of randomly built mud houses and shacks.

No matter how prosperous the city is, there are always some small corners that don't fit in, as if they are isolated from the world, and Luo Hao naturally understands it.

"Hi sir, may I ask if Chen San lives near here?"

The people who live here are all elderly people with limited mobility. They are unable to work and can only rely on picking up garbage for a living. When they have nothing to do, they just sit on the ground blankly.

The old man who heard Luo Hao's voice looked at Luo Hao with cloudy eyes and said nothing.

Luo Hao thought for a while, took out five copper coins from his body, and put them in front of the old man.

The old man glanced at the copper coin, grabbed it in his hand, and stuffed it directly into his clothes without paying attention to the dirt he picked up by the way.

The old man didn't say a word, he directly raised his skinny finger and pointed to a mud house in the northwest.

"Thank you!"

Although the earth house is not big, it also has a small courtyard, which is much better than the simple shacks around it.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

There was no door in the yard, so Luo Hao walked in directly, and within a few steps came to the door of an earthen house.

"It smells so strong!"

Standing in front of the half-closed wooden door of the earthen house, Luo Hao's nose twitched twice, smelling the lingering smell of burning flames from the room.

"Who is it!"

At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded in the earthen house, and then an old man with a hunched waist and a yellow and thin face came out of the house.

"Hello, are you Chen San?"

The old man looked Luo Hao up and down, and nodded.

"What's your business?"

"A few years ago, I was helped by Brother Chen Shi. When I came back recently, I wanted to thank him, but unexpectedly, I learned that Brother Chen Shi had died, so I came here to pay my respects."

Luo Hao didn't directly take out the jade hairpin to ask about Chen Shi's affairs. He always felt that Chen Shi's affairs were a bit weird, so he made up a lie to lower Chen San's vigilance as Chen Shi's friend.

Chen San didn't doubt it either, and turned back to the house on his own.

Luo Hao followed closely into the earthen house, and after entering, he realized that the earthen house was really small, and the walls were dilapidated, and there were many traces of being burned.

Apart from a bed and some sundries, there was not even a table in the room. There were only a few small stools lying on the ground alone, and Luo Hao found one to sit down without feeling disgusted.

After Chen San sat down, he kept looking up and down at Luo Hao, which made Luo Hao a little uncomfortable to be seen.

"Chen Shi has been dead for more than half a year, and I am the only uncle left in his family."

"I heard that brother Chen Shi was killed by a thief, did you catch the thief later?" Luo Hao asked.

"Half of the house was burned down by a fire. Where can I find the culprits?" Chen San sneered.

"Look, this dilapidated house was originally Chen Shi's home. After it was burned down, I lived in it and added a new roof." Chen San pointed to the roof.

Hearing this, Luo Hao was slightly surprised, and took another look at the room, and found that the walls of this room were scorched black everywhere, and there were holes in some places, and the roof was obviously rebuilt later.

"You are always brother Chen Shi's only family member. Didn't he leave you some valuables after his death?" Luo Hao asked tentatively.

Chen San was sitting on a stool leaning against the wall, looking lazy, as if he hadn't woken up, and he didn't really want to talk to Luo Hao.

"He is so filial, he has exchanged all good things for his mother's medical treatment, except for this shabby house, Mao has nothing." Chen San had a very unhappy expression.

Hearing this, Luo Hao frowned, which made him feel puzzled. According to what Boss Gao said, the jade hairpin is Chen Shi's relic, and the jade hairpin is very valuable. How did the poor Chen Shi get it?Now that you have the hosta, why didn't you sell it early to treat your mother? "

Luo Hao had a lot of questions in his mind, but he couldn't ask them directly. After thinking about it, he took out the jade hairpin.

"This is the jade hairpin I got by accident. I heard that it is a relic of Brother Chen Shi. You always..."

Luo Hao hadn't finished speaking when he saw Chen San's wrinkled face. If there were waves in the sea, his face was shaking non-stop, and he fell to the ground as soon as he couldn't sit still.

"You you you... you take it away, don't give it to me, take it away!"

Looking at Chen San's expression of fear as if a mouse had seen a cat, Luo Hao was even more surprised, it was just a hosta, why would he be so scared.

"Are you okay?" Luo Hao walked over to help Chen San up.

"Get out! Get out of here, don't come near me, get out of here, get out!" Chen San's voice was full of fear, but it was also very loud, his thin body seemed to be injected with vitality at this time, and he pushed Luo Hao hard.

"Leave! Don't come over! Get lost!" Chen San picked up the stool next to him and threw it at Luo Hao.

Luo Hao was helpless, Chen San couldn't talk in this state, so he had no choice but to leave the room.

"Bang!" The wooden door of the Tuwu was closed heavily by Chen San, and it was also locked.

Chen San's expression made Luo Hao more suspicious of him, but now he has this attitude, obviously he can't communicate anymore.

"Master, can you tell me about Chen San?" Luo Hao found the old man who asked for directions at the beginning, and directly took out a silver coin.

With the help of money, the old man's mental health improved obviously, and he finally spoke to Luo Hao.

The old man has lived in this civilian area for decades, not only Chen San, he also knows something about Chen Shi.

According to the old man, Chen Shi is dull and honest, but he is physically strong and able to work. If his mother hadn't dragged him down, he wouldn't have stayed in this place to survive.

"Chen Shi! There was a time when I made a windfall, and I planned to use all of it to treat my mother's illness. Because of this, Chen San had a quarrel with Chen Shi. Then he died and nothing was left."

This is what the old man said to Luo Hao, which made Luo Hao doubt about Chen Shifa's windfall.

As for Chen Shi's cousin, Chen San, he is not a good person in the old people's eyes. He likes to gamble.

After listening to the old man's narration, Luo Hao did not leave here, but hid in an empty shed not far from Chen San.

"The old man said just now that he woke up in the middle of the night and saw Chen San go out in a sneaky way, and in the past six months, he would inexplicably have money to gamble every now and then."

"There must be something wrong with Chen San."

Luo Hao planned to hide here, and wait till night to see if Chen San behaved abnormally tonight.

Time passed quickly, the sun gradually set, and the moon rushed into the sky.

Luo Hao also cheered up, and blocked the entrance of the shed with wooden boards, hiding behind, only showing his eyes to look outside.

The wind at night was a bit chilly, Luo Hao couldn't help tightening his clothes.

"Da da--"

"Da da da--"

The sky was getting darker and darker. In the small courtyard where Chen San lived, a hunched figure walked out of the courtyard nervously, carrying a shovel.

With good eyesight, Luo Hao recognized that figure as Chen San, and waited for him to walk a little further before leaving the shed to follow him quietly.
