Mr. Na Tong seems to be extremely smart, since the baby spirit accident, he has never shown his face in the underground black market in Yehai.Xie Wuyan asked around but failed, this clue was cut off, so I had to give up temporarily.

As the days passed, Jiugao Town gradually entered autumn.A rain followed by a gust of wind, the branches of the trees became empty, a thick layer of fallen leaves accumulated on the ground, and the feet felt soft and soft.

Ever since Zhu Quanze launched his "Great Tonic Yang Yuan Pill" in the Six Realms app, the product has been loved by the errants everywhere, and has a good reputation in the underworld. It has become one of the necessary medicines for the errants to go on missions .

So Zhu Quanze strikes while the iron is hot, and launches the "Necessary Small Medicine Pack for Business Trips in the Yang Dynasty" - three kinds of medicines are prepared in it: the Dabuyang Yuandan that increases Yang Qi, the Jianwei Xiaoshi Pill that helps the Yin and Yang to digest the food in the Yang Dynasty, and come to the world to seek pleasure Geranium essential oil for pleasure.This small medicine bag also became all the rage and became a new fashion in the underworld.

Boss Zhu no longer visits the door, but still places orders for medicines on the app regularly.

It is said that he has now started the business of antique calligraphy and painting, and even opened a Taobao shop. He is in the modern society like a fish in water, and he has long forgotten the excuse of "revenge for others" and only cares about making money for himself.

Of course, while he made a fortune, he did not forget his benefactor.Boss Zhu asked someone to send a bronze pixiu to the Hall of Wishing Huichun, saying that it is to attract wealth and ward off evil spirits.After being inspected by Master Xie Tianshi, there was nothing wrong with Pixiu, so he replaced the poorly made ceramic lucky cat.

Jiu Ling was quite critical of this.

I don't know if it's because Boss Zhu's Pixiu is really spiritual, or if I wish Quanze's luck, he will soon have a chance to make money again.

Zizhen made a phone call: "Way, Quanze, I have another task on hand! 30 yuan, it's near Yunheze. You and your family... think about it?"

When Zhu Quanze heard the price, he made a decision without saying a word: "What? 30? It's promising, Zizhen! Don't think about it, we'll come right away!"

In fact, Xie Wuyan was right next to him, neither agreed nor refused.He just flicked Zhu Quanze's forehead with his index finger, and cursed softly: "Little money fan."

Zhu Quanze smirked inexplicably, as if 30 had already been obtained.

......

It is understood that the task entrusted this time is the family member of Jin Yunlong, director of the famous real estate company Yueya Group.

Yueya Group has a residential development area 10 minutes away from Yunhe Ze [-]. The project is called "Yunheju". The five-star hotel of the same series has been opened to the public. There are fifty retro-style Villas belong to the tourist properties bought by rich people for summer vacation or retirement.

Jin Yunlong single-handedly promoted this project from site selection to land acquisition, and half of the rough houses have been built.However, President Jin came to inspect some time ago, but died in a car accident on the highway going back.He was the only one who died.

Although the place where Jin Yunlong crashed was a road with frequent traffic accidents, the family members who surrendered to the case killed Jin Yunlong because he was entangled in dirt from the Yunheju construction site.The reason why Heming Mountain Taoist finally decided to take over the task was that on the night when Jin Yunlong's rescue failed, a bloody handprint and several bloody crane feathers inexplicably appeared on the table in the Jin family's living room.

Like some kind of ominous warning.

The next day, Zizhen drove Xie and Zhu all the way to Yunheju. The residential building had not yet been built, and the salesperson was arranged to receive them at the sales office.

The sales office was temporarily built in a five-star hotel of the same series, and it was also the first destination of the trip for the three of them.The Panshan Highway made a few bends, and the view suddenly opened up. The hotel complex was built on the top of a hill, with carved railings and jade, and many terraces. If not for the swimming pool and spa, it would be more like a retro hotel hidden in the mountains Wind Art Museum.

Zhu Quanze couldn't believe that there was such a tall and powerful existence half an hour's drive away from his small broken town.

Zizhen, like Zhu Quanze, was so poor that he had never seen the world. A resplendent sales office stunned him: "My god, how much does it cost to stay here for one night?"

The salesperson smiled slightly: "Three thousand starts."

Zizhen clicked his tongue: "Here, it's a little distance from the Heming Mountain Scenic Area. Do you really have any guests?"

The standard smirk has not changed on the face of the salesperson: "Our guests are all on vacation, and they may not necessarily go to Heming Mountain. Sometimes they stay in the hotel for a week at a time."

Zhu Quanze suddenly felt that poverty limited his imagination: "No, why don't you go out?"

The salesman nodded: "I just left one a few days ago, stayed for six days, and spent over a million dollars."

Zizhen: "..."

Zhu Quanze: "..."

Shuangshuang's expression was stunned, and she was frozen in the emoji "wow".

That's all.

Xie Wuyan tried hard not to show contempt, which made his face stiff.After all, Mr. Xie has lived in the Jade Emperor's room and in the Hades' bed, so he is very dismissive of this five-star "luxury hotel" in the world.Of course, as for what he did secretly with that ignorant kid in the Jade Emperor's room, that's another story.

In the end, it was Xie Wuyan who reminded us to return to the topic: "Please show us around."

The salesperson smiled and took everyone to see the Yunheju sand table.

The task entruster has ordered that the group has not disclosed the news of President Jin's death due to concerns about real estate sales and the company's stock price, so most people still don't know.This time, they went there as a tour assigned by the group. They were not allowed to disclose any information about the car accident, let alone mention any evil things. They could only observe with a pair of eyes and listen with a pair of ears.

You can't ask blatantly, which makes the investigation more difficult.

Zhu Quanze looked down at the three-dimensional sand table, and silently calculated the geomantic omen of this place in his heart.With his superficial knowledge, he can't see anything wrong for the time being.He asked casually: "How many units of your sales house have you sold?"

The salesperson whispered embarrassedly: "It's only 30.00%..." She turned her head and looked behind her, making sure that no one else was there, and then added: "I heard that some friends sent by President Jin to visit ?Actually, President Jin came here last week for this matter. The sales ratio is too low, and I dare not hand in the quarterly report."

Yueya Group is one of the top real estate developers, most of the properties are sold out before construction starts, and the construction of Yunhe Residence is already halfway through, and only one-third of them have been sold, which shows that the sales are indeed not ideal.

Zhu Quanze blinked: "Why is this house not selling well? Is there any reason behind it?"

This issue was obviously mentioned many times in the company's review meeting, and the salesman said, "One reason is the price. You also know that Yunheju belongs to the residence series of Yueya Group, and it builds the highest-end brand. I can’t afford it. The second reason is the geographical location. Although the environment in Yunheju is good, it’s impossible to live here for a long time. Our source of tourists is mainly rich people who come to Heming Mountain for travel. After all, residential houses are based on impulse Sex consumption."

Zhu Quanze thought back to the six-day consumption that broke a million dollars just now, and he was quite impressed with the so-called "impulsive consumption": "So, your source of customers..."

The salesman answered very straightforwardly: "Most of our customers are customers who live in our five-star hotel in Yunheju, and then they like the environment here very much, so they bought a house and a property. But in fact, they also know that they won't spend a year Come a few times."

"Other houses of the same type in the group rely on this kind of impulsive consumption, and the sales rate is also very low?"

"No, just Yunheju." The salesman shook his head embarrassedly.

Zhu Quanze smiled: "Then the two reasons you mentioned before are mainly for the sojourn real estate. Since the problem lies with Yunheju, there must be some special reason, right?"

Only then did the salesman falter and say: "It's just that some customers... decided not to buy it after hearing some... rumors about ghosts."

Xie Wuyan raised his head suddenly: "Has anyone died before?"

The salesman immediately shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Xie Wuyan frowned slightly: "Is there a cemetery before the house was built on this land? Or, did you encounter any ancient tombs during the project development?"

Sales also flatly denied the issue.

Zhu Quanze wondered, "Where did you start talking about the haunting?"

The salesman curled his lips: "There is no way to talk about it, and things that don't exist at all are all rumors spread by workers on the construction site."

The three of them glanced at each other and decided to go to the construction site to have a look.

From the hotel side, you can see the villa area. From a distance, all white walls and black tiles are antique.The independence between each villa is also very good, basically will not be disturbed by neighbors.

The villa area looked very close, and it took 10 minutes to drive there.

The salesman drove, Xie Wuyan and Zhu Quanze sat in the back row.Along the way, Zhu Quanze stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze.As you drive up this winding mountain road, you can always see Yunheju Hotel, which is like a work of art embraced by mountains.

Xie Wuyan put one hand on his thigh without expression, and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

Zhu Quanze turned around and smiled slightly: "I just wonder how they can stay in the hotel for a week without going out."

Xie Wuyan laughed silently, leaned close to Zhu Quanze's ear, and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly: "Next time, I will bring you to open a room and experience it." thigh.

Zhu Quanze's cheeks flushed, thinking that there were outsiders around and it was not easy to get angry, so he could only pretend to give Xie Wuyan a fierce look.

After taking a slap in the face, Mr. Xie smiled contentedly, as if he had taken advantage of it.

......

When the group arrived at the construction site, they found that several workers had already gathered at the gate of the construction site. All of them lowered their heads and didn't know what was around them.Zhu Quanze went up to take a look, only to find two dead cranes lying on the ground.There were no obvious scars on the crane's body, its feathers were shiny and smooth, and it was unknown how it died.

A group of workers were whispering:

Some people say that the Yueya Group has done a lot of unscrupulous things, and this has been punished by God.

Some people said that the ghost had appeared again, and they didn't know who it was going to kill this time.

Some people said that they slipped away and ran away after paying their daily wages today. This construction site is too evil.

The salesman got angry when he saw the nagging workers.He strode forward, pushing and shoving, trying to drive the workers away: "What are you doing here? It's just a dead bird. What's so good about a small animal dying in nature? The work is done, huh?!"

The workers looked up at the salesman, and saw that he was wearing a company badge and a suit and leather shoes, as if he was someone to be messed with.

So the part-time workers left without saying a word, leaving the salesman alone, still angry, pointing at the workers' backs and scolding: "Passive sabotage! There is no shortage of you in the box lunch. When you are full, you will know that you are thinking wildly every day. It’s just a dead bird, I can tell you flowers! But I’m so pissed off, I don’t know how much business I’ve ruined!”

After he had finished scolding and calmed down, he remembered that he had brought people to visit: "Let's go, I really made the three of you laugh-huh?" When the salesman turned around, he found that Zhu Quanze was still squatting there.

Zhu Quanze observed the corpse for a while, and said slowly: "The blood of this crane... seems to have been sucked dry."

Xie Wuyan and Zizhen squatted down beside him: "How do you say?"

Zhu Quanze pointed to the head of the red-crowned crane - the red color of "red-crowned" comes from the abundant capillaries on the top of the crane's head.If the red-crowned crane died, it should change from bright red to black red and purple red.But at this moment, the tops of the two cranes' heads are only a slightly darker flesh-colored area, without any blood color at all.

Chapter 37 Investigation The three of them looked at each other silently, it was obviously not a good sign to be sucked blood.

The salesman had no choice but to come forward, he could be rude to the workers on the construction site at will, but these few were the guests brought by Mr. Jin after all, so he couldn't be too condescending.The salesman suppressed his anger and asked, "Is there something wrong with this bird?"

"No problem, no problem." Zhu Quanze stood up laughing, "People in the city have never seen a crane, so they are curious." Then he winked at the other two and smiled gently: "Let's go."

"Actually, there is nothing to see here. The construction of Area A is basically completed, and the rest is still under construction." The salesman introduced it to people as he walked.He didn't seem to like coming to the construction site very much, so he took everyone around in a hasty way and thought it was over.

For this, Zhu Quanze couldn't wish for it. After all, with this big brother around, their investigation was limited everywhere.

After saying goodbye to the salesperson, the three pretended to leave, and returned to the construction site after going down the mountain.

This time they did not take the "visit route" they took before the sale, but took a detour from the side road, which can be described as "an eye-opener".The tour route is clean and smooth, and the surrounding green belts are well done. It is as high-end and high-end as the villas here. Once you get out of the white wall, there are loess roads trampled everywhere outside. ,The original green plants are in a mess, and a lot of decoration waste has piled up into mountains-soil, stones, whitewashing waste, colorful plastic bags... like small hills, it seems that no one has dealt with them.

When Zhu Quanze and his team returned to the construction site, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, just in time for the workers to have dinner, and everyone was getting boxed lunches.The three of them held the visiting badges of the Yueya Group, and they also got a bite to eat.They took advantage of the stalls where they ate with the workers, went their own way, and interviewed and chatted with the workers separately.

At first, the workers were wary of them, but Zhu Quanze brought a few dozen beers and a few cigarettes from the mountain, and everyone chatted and chatted immediately.

Zhu Quanze recognized a young man in the crowd who was watching the dead crane at noon, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is this the first time that the dead crane happened yesterday?"

"No, this kind of thing is too common!" The young man smoked human cigarettes and drank human wine, and naturally he talked a little more, "At first, it was dead mice, which were thrown on the construction site one by one, and then What chickens, birds, and another time it was a weasel... This time it became a crane!"

Another person spoke up: "Yes, yes, yes, you said something died in the mountains, it is indeed normal, but how can you die at the gate of the construction site every time, right, it was obviously let in on purpose!"

"At first we thought it was some psychopath playing tricks...but then we found out that it was not that simple. Once, a big pheasant died," the worker gestured at the pheasant slightly exaggeratedly. Big and small, "A colleague was envious, saying that the chicken's feathers are healthy, and it must not have died of chicken plague. It must be dissected and stewed."

"I said that you dare to eat such a wicked chicken, and you are not afraid of getting sick!" The worker lowered his voice mysteriously, and he really thought he was telling a story, with a cadence, "But after the chicken was cut open, there was almost no blood in it. .The chicken's blood was sucked dry!"

Zhu Quanze let out a "tsk" in his heart, thinking that it was indeed the same thing.

After chatting with Zizhen, there was a new discovery—in order to ensure work efficiency, Yueya Group’s construction sites were operated in 24-hour shifts. Some workers said that he used to work night shifts because the wages for night shifts were high, but later He found that at night, there would be intermittent crying in the mountains.Whenever he stopped to listen with bated breath, there was silence all around, but when he got busy, the voice started whimpering again.

Terrified.

He emphasized that he was not the only one who heard the crying, which is why there are fewer and fewer people working on the night shift, and even the day shift has been implicated. The construction site has found another way to make a living.

It is said that there are also bold and unbelieving workers who search for people crying in the middle of the night.In the end, he didn't see anyone or ghosts. After the dark wind passed, the crying sound disappeared, leaving only a row of human footprints.I heard that there were still bloodstains on the footprints, but they only came and did not go.

The next day, the daring worker left his job, and no one knew where he was. Some said something happened to his family, and some said he died. The story of "visiting ghosts" was passed on from generation to generation, and the more it spread, the more frightening it became. I don't know how much is true and how much is fiction.

To sum up, there is indeed a problem at this construction site.

But that evil spirit seemed to be the one who killed small animals to vent his anger during the day and hid and cried alone at night.The daily work is scary, except for Mr. Jin's car accident that I don't know if it was an accident, he really didn't hurt anyone.

Zizhen looked at Xie Wuyan with sparkling eyes: "Master Xie, what do you think about this?"

"Sucking animal blood, throwing corpses, and using animal feathers as a warning, this is like the behavior of a spirit beast or a monster." Xie Wuyan paused, "But the crying, bloody handprints, and human footprints sound like ghosts, or It’s the dead body.” He shook his head as he spoke, “So it’s hard to say.”

Zhu Quanze analyzed: "But no matter what kind, it seems to convey some kind of dissatisfaction?"

Xie Wuyan nodded. There is no doubt that this thing has a lot of grievances, and the reason for the grievances is indeed related to this construction site.As long as its demands are not met, it is estimated that it will continue to make trouble.

In fact, before Zhu Quanze came to the construction site, he checked the relevant information of Yueya Group on the Internet. However, the company's brand public relations are very powerful. Every time something goes wrong, it can always control public opinion and suppress the matter at the first time.As a result, Yueya Group has a peaceful appearance on the entire network, its stock price only rises but not falls, all the property markets are sold out, and charity projects are piled up. It is also a pioneer in the exploration of intelligent community management in the country.

Most of the shady things he wanted to know could not be found online.

Zhu Quanze suddenly remembered something, and passed another cigarette to the little brother beside him: "By the way, I seem to have heard from you before that the Yueya Group has done a lot of unscrupulous things?"

"Yes!" The guy was immersed in eating his box lunch, but now he took the cigarette and cursed angrily, "They verbally promised that there would be two meat and one vegetarian in the box lunch every day, but recently the amount of vegetarian dishes has increased, and the meat dishes The quantity is getting less and less, and you are doing |his|mother's black-hearted enterprise!"

Zhu Quanze: "..." He looked down at the lunch box in his hand, the amount of meat was really impressive.Then, a small chicken leg landed in his bowl, and when he looked up, it was Xie Wuyan's.Originally, there was only one piece of meat in Xie Tianshi's bowl, but he gave it all to himself.

All the men on the construction site around showed envious eyes. Zhu Quanze couldn't bear the burning eyes, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and glared at Xie Wuyan—meaning I don't want it, you can eat it.

Xie Wuyan gave him a look indifferently: You eat chicken legs, I eat you.

Zhu Quanze: "..." The strange thing is, how could he understand this kind of eye contact inexplicably.

Probably because of the complaint about the serving size, the employees gathered together to scold the leader, always getting more and more angry.Soon, more and more people complained.

"The company is blackmailed, oppressed...I work hard every day, not only do I have little money, but I don't have a few days off in a month..."

"Oh, there is also their formaldehyde. It is nice to talk to customers about zero-exceeding formaldehyde. But in fact, they are 'zero-exceeding industrial standards', not 'zero-exceeding residential standards'. How to remove formaldehyde? I don’t know! No matter how nice this house is, I dare not live in it.”

......

Zhu Quanze listened for a long time, but did not smell any clues related to this matter, so he simply asked frankly if anyone had died.Like the salesman in the morning, this group of workers said that no one was killed in the construction site, and no ancient wells and ancient tombs were dug up. As for the origin of that "ghost", there is no definite statement.

Some people say that it may be that the father-in-law of the land appeared, and he doesn't like to build houses in this mountain.

After asking for a long time, I found nothing.Just when Zhu Quanze and his team were about to leave the construction site, a dark young man ran over and said that he knew something that might have something to do with this "ghost".

The young man reported his family name and said that he came to work in the next village, so he was considered half a local.According to him, the land in Yunheju was lived by people before the house was built, but the conditions in the village were not good. The married couples of the younger generation, and those who worked part-time, all moved to the big cities, leaving only a group of old people. .After the demolition, the superiors gave the original residents a lot of money, and also resettled new houses for them in a nearby town.Everyone left, except for an old lady who was farming, raising chickens, and being self-sufficient by herself.

The grandmother's husband left early, and her children were also in the city. She lived in the mountains all her life, and she refused to move out no matter what. Almost all the houses in the village were demolished, and she would not leave.Whenever someone came to persuade her to move, she would be beaten out by the old woman with a cane.I don't know how such a rickety and shriveled old woman can be so energetic. While chasing and beating people, she can still greet the [-]th generation ancestors of the real estate business.

Just when everyone thought that the old lady would be able to fight with the real estate agent for a long time, the old lady who was always in good health suddenly passed away and was buried under the big tree at the head of the village.It is said that the cry came from the direction of her grave.

Xie Wuyan asked him if he knew where the grave was, and the young man nodded.Zhu Quanze directly stuffed him with a picture of Grandpa Mao.The young man was also very straightforward, saying that he would lead the way.

Zizhen teased in a low voice: "Hey, I wish the boss, it seems that the business is booming recently, and the spending is generous."

Zhu·Nothing at all·Quanze smiled gently at Zizhen: "Forget it on your account, remember to reimburse when you go back."

Zizhen: "..."

......

By the time the young man led people up the mountain, the sky had already completely darkened.Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, the young man refused to go any further.

"On this road, keep going straight until you see the stele 'Horseshoe Village'. The old lady is buried under that big tree." The young man shrank his head, "I really dare not go any further. I'm afraid the old lady will be fierce."

Zhu Quanze expressed his deep understanding, and after thanking others, the three continued to walk deep into the forest.

The young man was right. There was indeed a big tree next to the stone monument at the entrance of the village. Its waistline needed to be surrounded by two adults. It was estimated that it could be hundreds or thousands of years old.And under the big tree, there is indeed a small grave, without a tombstone or a name.

It seems that the three characters "Horseshoe Village" that have been painted not far away are the name of the memorial here.In a village that disappeared, and the last old man in this village.

Like locust trees and willows, elms are trees with weeping branches. Now that autumn has come, the elm tree is half bald, and its weeping branches are coiled and crouching, which is quite scary in the night.

Xie Wuyan frowned slightly—there was an elm on the grave, which was ominous.

Another gust of wind blew, the branches of the elm tree rustled, and there was a clear whimper in the air, but there was no complaint.

Since Xie Wuyan didn't notice anything wrong, Zhu Quanze was very courageous. He used the flashlight app on his mobile phone to take a closer look, and saw that the thick main tree trunk forked on the head, turned into two strands, intertwined Together, several small cavities happened to be formed.

And the whimpering sound seemed to be caused by the wind passing through the small hole, like the mountain wind blowing a flute.

After a while, the wind stopped, and sure enough, the whimpering sound disappeared.

Zhu Quanze let out a long breath: "Hey, is this the ghost cry they are talking about? Really, it is so mysterious..."

As he said that, he lowered his hand and shook the flashlight, but Zizhen let out a "huh" at this moment: "Behind the grave bag, is that a sacrificial offering?"

Zhu Quanze turned on the flashlight again. On the other side of the grave, there was no spirit tablet, no incense burner, and no ashes of paper money, but there were some fruits.

Strange, the old lady has lived alone for so long, how could someone come to pay her respects?

Zhu Quanze squatted down and took a careful look with the flashlight. Judging from the freshness of the fruits, they will not exceed a week.Zhu Quanze turned his head, and was about to tell the people behind him what he had discovered, when a human face appeared out of the corner of his eye, hidden among the dense weeping branches of the elm tree.

It was a blood-red human face, with no hair on the entire head, wrinkled skin, only a pair of big black and round eyes, without the whites of the eyes.It was as if a piece of blood-red skin had been stretched over a skeleton.

Zhu Quanze was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground like a spring, and shrank behind Xie Wuyan.

Almost at the same time, Zizhen shrank behind Zhu Quanze.

It's like cowardly meeting.

Only Xie Wuyan did not move: "..."

He gently took Zhu Quanze's hand backwards, clasped his fingers together, and rubbed the man's mouth comfortingly: "Don't be afraid."
