Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

This time, Cheng Yun took the initiative to divide the trainees into two groups, and entered each room to conduct a carpet search.

Su Zimo, Jin Lei, Bai Man, Cheng Yun, Madman and Wan Ling who is sticking to Dr. Jin are in a group, and Qi Xiaomin, Du Xin, Fang Qin, Liu Xu and Xiao Huo are in a group.The fighting power seems a bit uneven, but Su Zimo's group has him, the madman, and little sister Wan Ling, and the other group has the legendary fighting power of Xiaohuo and Liu Xu, which is also considered average.

What is surprising is that the lunatic, who has always been passive and sabotage, is willing to get up from the paralyzed sofa and follow the team.

Su Zimo was very interested in Cheng Yun's grouping. If Cheng Yun was fake, he would have really grouped himself with all those who doubted him. Coupled with the lunatic's knowledge of mice and beasts, he almost Everyone who threatens him can be observed.

"What are we looking for?" Cheng Yun asked Su Zimo this time.

"Captain Cheng, I don't have much experience." Su Zimo turned around, and the silver chain on the mirror frame ran across his fair neck, "But if it is true as we guessed just now, the phenomenon of passive sabotage among the staff in the villa may not be a problem. From a single case, we may be able to find other clues. These clues may lead us to discover the identity of the owner of the villa."

"Of course, it would be even better if we knew who was sick in the villa, and what kind of illness that person had." Su Zimo thought for a while, "I always feel that this patient is inseparable from the mission of this nightmare world."

"Now it seems that it's just that the family doctor may be passively sabotaging, and it doesn't mean that other people are also passively sabotaging, right?" Spirit.

Naturally, it was impossible for Su Zimo to tell about the vase. After thinking about it, he said, "When there are no other clues, any reasonable guess may become a clue, isn't it?"

"Let's take a look at the chef's room first?" Cheng Yun said, and was about to open the first door in the corridor.

"Let's go to the butler's room first." The lunatic's voice sounded almost at the same time as Cheng Yun's.

"The layout of the servant's room is exactly the same. It is true that the butler's room needs to be searched more." Jin Lei agreed with the madman's suggestion, "We went in once before, and there were many books scattered inside."

Su Zimo followed Wan Ling and stood behind Jin Lei, because he found that his presence in front of Cheng Yun seemed a little too high.

Cheng Yun watched another group of people enter the gardener's room, and nodded in agreement. He led the team of five people straight to the depths of the corridor, pushed open the door of the butler's room, and walked in.

The butler's room is larger than the maid's big room before, and it also occupies a side balcony exclusively, which can be regarded as extremely high treatment in this villa.It's just that because the entire villa has been abandoned, the bookshelf that was originally nailed to the wall fell down, and the books were scattered all over the place.

As soon as the lunatic entered, he opened the cabinet in the butler's room, and then froze for a moment.

"What's the matter?" Others followed, and found a big safe hidden in the butler's cabinet?

Because there is not much modern presence in the villa, and even the simplest lamps have been broken, so the trainees all agree that this is a relatively long time ago.Although they don't know the quality of the safes in this era, the quality of the safes owned by the villa housekeeper in front of them should not be top-notch. After so many years, it is even more rusty, and the paint on the outside has also disappeared.

Only the door of the safe was still tightly shut.

"You have to open it." Cheng Yun tried to move the safe by hand, and found that even though it looked bad, the door was still locked.

"Captain Cheng, don't you have that?" Bai Man kept silent to conceal her emotions, but now she took the initiative to ask, "Can it be used?"

"What?" Cheng Yun was stunned.

A few seconds later, Cheng Yun took out a rusty and simple key from the pocket of his coat, and said, "You mean this key? This key always works out of time, but you can give it a try."

"..." When Cheng Yun took out the key, Bai Man's figure couldn't help shaking again, and even with Jin Lei's secret help to stand firm, her face turned pale.

[The Key to the Habitual Thief ([-] star)]

[Price: 20]

[Description: An obsession left by a habitual thief can open all locks that have nothing to do with ghosts. It can only be used once in the current nightmare world. ]

Ordinary practitioners cannot see this kind of remark text, so for them, this key can only be explained by "it doesn't work when it fails".Su Zimo suddenly felt that the world really needs an excellent shopkeeper who can give "instructions" for ghost weapons, so that all users of ghost weapons will no longer be confused... Ahem!

Su Zimo took another look at Bai Man, who was not in good condition, and felt that this lock should belong to the real Cheng Yun's ghost weapon. Now that Cheng Yun in front of him took it out, it might make Bai Man have some bad associations.

"Let's try it first." Cheng Yun held the key in his hand, hesitated for a while, looked at the one-star ghost device that was no different from ordinary guns, and then looked at the safe with the knob-type combination lock in front of him. When the key and the lock don't match at all, it seems that some don't know what to do.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Cheng Yun touched the rusted and dilapidated combination lock in front of him with the end of the ghost weapon key in his hand. Perhaps it was because even the weakest one-star ghost weapon contained the power of ghosts, so Although the combination lock in front of him was only touched once, it made a sound in the next second——

"Squeak-"

The cipher disk that originally needed to be twisted actually turned without anyone touching it!

"Squeak-"

After four difficult creaking sounds, the dusty and rusty safe box door popped open with a bang, and the dust and some debris flew directly onto the bodies of several practitioners around, while Su Zimo They also finally saw what was hidden in the safe.

"What's that?" Before everyone used the light of their mobile phones to illuminate the inside of the safe, what they saw seemed to be a bunch of black things, which didn't look particularly precious.

"It's money." The lunatic grabbed a stack of it with his hands, took a look at the colorful bills with his mobile phone, and smiled mockingly, "These rubbish may be the best-preserved things in the entire villa, really. Satire."

"It's just a housekeeper, how can there be so much money?" Su Zimo looked at the old banknotes that were no longer issued in front of him, "When the money was issued, the housing prices were not as outrageous as they are now. The whole villa was bought."

"Indeed, if it is calculated based on a stack of 200, it is estimated that there are about [-] million here." Jin Lei also squatted down and looked at the banknotes that occupied two-thirds of the space in the three-box safe, and then her eyes lit up, "We may find Good stuff, madman, you are really a lucky general!"

With that said, Jin Lei took out two leather-bound notebooks from the last compartment of the safe, which were better preserved than the diagnostic logs!Because of the light, Jin Lei and the people around didn't look carefully, but after flipping through a few pages, they found that there were a lot of things recorded in the two notebooks, and the words were easier to read than any doctor's cursive script.

"Let's go to the lobby!"

The trainees kicked aside all the banknotes that gradually slipped out of the safe like garbage, stared at the two dilapidated notebooks like babies, and couldn't wait to leave the butler's room with uncomfortable light and ran to the hall.

For the trainees, although banknotes that are no longer issued can also be used, it takes nightmare points to take every banknote away from the nightmare world.

As for Su Zimo...his desire for money may be one of the least among all the trainees.

After watching the team led by Cheng Yun run back to the hall, the trainees who were searching for other rooms also felt something, so they simply followed Su Zimo and the others back to the hall. Everyone gathered around the long dining table in the middle, Looking at the two notebooks that Jin Lei was flipping through at the same time.

Because the handwriting on the notebook is written in black pen, it is very well preserved, so it can be read and distinguished.

"Among us, is there anyone who knows more about the accounts?" Jin Lei looked up for a while, then raised her head and asked everyone present, "I'm a little dazzled."

The trainees looked at each other.

"I can see it, but it's a pity that I didn't wear reading glasses when I came out for morning exercises this time." Mr. Fang Qin was tired from standing, so he simply sat down with the Tai Chi sword in his hand, then looked at Su Zimo and said, "Mr. Su should be able to, Let him see it?"

"..." Before Su Zimo said anything, he saw two notebooks being pushed in front of him, and Jin Lei made a cheering gesture to him.

"I've learned a little bit." Su Zimo rubbed his temples, and his eyes fell on the two open notebooks.

What Jin Lei said is correct, most of the two notebooks are accounts, recording the daily expenditures of this villa in those years, and...the daily turnover of this family decades ago is even comparable to that of Su The current daily expenses of the family——During the few days when Su Zimo took over the affairs of the Su family, Su Zimo stayed up all night and went through all the accounts at an unimaginable speed.

It's just that this kind of accounts written entirely by hand in an ordinary notebook is not professional. In fact, no professional is needed to read it. Even if Su Zimo doesn't read it, someone else can understand it carefully.

After reading the two notebooks one after another, Su Zimo found a breakthrough from the date of the account again, and opened the two notebooks on the table at the same time, and compared them carefully from the first page.

"Actually, this is just an ordinary ledger, and you can see it clearly when you look carefully. But these two ledgers cannot be read separately, they need to be read together." Su Zimo pushed the two notebooks to the middle of the dining table, "from From the first page, the date on each page is the same, but the recorded account flow is completely different."

"In the notebook on the left, most of them are relatively normal household expenses, but there is an item of 'special medical care' added to the ordinary flow, and the expenditure of this item is not small." Su Zimo said, pointing to the right again, "The notebook on the right has some strange items."

"For example, 'cosmetics (maid)', 'liquor (chef)' and 'appetizers' are all expenses that are not in the notebook on the left, but these weird expenses add up to the 'special medical' items on the left. Expenditure." Su Zimo said, paused, and continued to ask, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Light and dark account book." Mr. Fang Qin sat there, leaning on the Tai Chi sword and said with emotion.

"Light and dark ledger?" Du Xin and Qi Xiaomin looked a little confused.

"The one on the left is the clear account book, which is mainly used for others to see and check, so you can't use any questions, and every item must be well-behaved." Mr. Fang Qin smiled, "The right is the dark account book, which is this building. The real account book of the villa is just because there are too many shady expenses, so it needs to be well hidden and cannot be seen by inspectors."

"Judging from these two ledgers, at the beginning it was just some small tricks, and then it became more and more bold." Su Zimo directly turned the two ledgers to the back, "This is here, the Ming ledger says according to grandson The doctor asked for an advance payment for 'medical special', but the dark ledger said 'car purchase demand (me)'."

"The butler wants to buy a car?"

"It was just rejected." Su Zimo turned another page, "It can be seen that the housekeeper is not happy. After knowing that the advance payment was rejected, the pen poked holes. From the beginning to the present,' The expenditure of the medical special project is getting bigger and bigger, and this advance payment may have exceeded the willingness of the paying party."

"The paying party should be the owner of the villa, have they never found out that there is a problem with the family's expenses?" Jin Lei half-closed her eyes and thought about it, "Unless...the owner of this villa doesn't live here at all! "

The owner of the villa doesn't live in the villa?

Jin Lei made a new guess.

"It's not surprising, people who can afford such a villa will not only own one property." Su Zimo also thought for a moment, "But this villa is not closed, except for the family doctor and those who Besides the servants, there must be someone living there."

"Who?"

"Of course it's a patient." Su Zimo's slender fingers landed on the words "special medical treatment".
