Chapter 25 The Battle of the Haunted House

Liu Zhen was very interesting. When reporting the time, he filled in the full amount of 24 hours for Liang Xi, and also called in person to apologize.Liu Zhen told Liang Xi that Wang Shuang was a very important criminal, but unfortunately he did not have a bounty and could not give Liang Xi additional remuneration.

This call made Liang Xi think of a job that can not only open a detective agency, but also engage in a detective career that he is interested in, as well as guarantee his quality of life: offering a reward.

Due to the limited manpower and material resources, it was impossible for Liang Xi to trace the old cases.However, no matter how new the case is, it has become an old case from the police taking over to the funding of the reward.The reward that Liang Xi mentioned refers to the reward that the information was not accepted by the police and the case was not filed, and it was suspected that the victim's family had paid for it.Most of these rewards are for finding evidence of a case, which is posted on the police website with the help of the police.Also because they were just looking for evidence for filing a case, the amount of reward offered was very low, with a maximum of £[-].

But the official bounty page is a favorite spot for detective fans, because clicking through each bounty can give you an overview of the case.Someone specially created a detective community for Bounty Network, inviting detective enthusiasts to discuss the case together.The most famous of them is Baker United, which consists of more than 12 amateur detectives in the UK, and has successfully helped the families of [-] would-be victims to file cases within three years.The reason why it is called Baker United is because they are all Sherlock Holmes fans without exception. Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency is in Baker Street, so their joint team is called Baker United.

Three years, more than [-] people, and [-] cases have been filed, which has already demonstrated the difficulty of offering a reward.

Case [-]: A's shoulder bag was lost. She thought that her bag had fallen into a makeup shop and was taken by the owner and clerk.After the police took notes, obtained surveillance, and questioned the suspect, there was no further result. After obtaining permission from the police, A posted his situation on the reward website to collect clues and witnesses.If it can be proved that he brought a satchel before shopping and lost his satchel after shopping, he can get [-] pounds if the case is successfully filed.If you can get theft leads, you can get a thousand pounds.If you can provide evidence against the thief, you can get £[-].

This case requires personnel to conduct a large number of visits to the streets and ask for information on various businesses.And once the case time exceeds three days, everyone's memory will become blurred, and it is almost impossible to win a reward under normal channels.Unless there is a way to find the stolen bag, step by step to check back to find the thief.

Case [-]: A middle school student suffered an eye injury, claiming to be beaten by some classmates.Several classmates denied the accusations, and the police did not have any evidence or clues to rule out the possibility that the middle school students would testify indiscriminately.In order to relieve the child's gas and medical expenses, the child's father offered a reward of [-] pounds.

No matter whether it is easy or not, Liang Xi will not take orders from the children.Because the children are so cute, so cute that Liang Xi doesn't want to see them, let alone deal with them.

Looking all the way, Liang Xi found that either he could not do it alone, or someone had already done it.There are so many people doing nothing in London, it seems that there are still stalls to be set up on weekends.

When Liang Xi was about to close the page, he was attracted by a case.

The title is Ghost. After clicking on it, there is only one sentence in it. The owner claims to be infested by ghosts and seeks the help of psychics, and he must be grateful.There must be a sentence of heavy thanks that is enough to drive away more than half of the people.Similar to the farce of looking for a dog to send a house. After finding the dog, the owner claimed that someone pretended to be himself to publish information. Anyway, it is impossible to give the house. The dog has been found, and the house will not be given to you. What can you do?Therefore, the reward without the stated amount is considered a hooligan in the eyes of many people.

People and things involving psychics, ghosts, are sometimes very complex, sometimes extremely simple.What made Liang Xi interested was that the police actually put the psychic incident on the bounty net, which shows that the police have carried out a certain understanding and investigation.Because there are certain facts, the police cannot rule out the possibility of ghosts, but there is no correct answer.

Liang Xi dialed the phone number, and the person who answered the phone claimed to be Yali, a real estate agent.On the phone, Ari briefly explained the situation of the house.

Lily is 27 years old, a single beauty, and a private manager.Starting two months ago, Lily, who fell asleep at night, always felt that someone had invaded her room.Lily called the police twice, but the police did not find any clues and evidence to prove the existence of the intruder. The police persuaded Lily to see a psychiatrist.With the advice and help of friends, Lily purchased and installed indoor surveillance.

For the next week, Lily slept very well.But a week later, Lily felt that someone had invaded her house again in her sleep.Lily called the police again, and the police dispatched detectives to conduct a more comprehensive investigation, ruling out the suspicions that Lily raised several suspects.After the fourth call, the police forced a urine test on Lily and found the ingredients of marijuana.

The UK is under semi-legal control of cannabis, as long as you don't sell it or use it in front of the police, it's usually ignored.The police released Lily after warning her, and put Lily on the police blacklist.If Lily calls the police, there will still be police officers, but not only will there be no special personnel to investigate, Lily may even be charged with obstruction of justice.

Unbearable Lily threw the house to the real estate agent and temporarily lived in a friend's house.In principle, the bounty is no longer valid, but the real estate agent has played a language game that must be thankful. He hopes that someone can solve the ghost problem so that the house can be sold normally.

"I'm a psychic," Liang Xi told the real estate agent.

A real estate agent doesn't care if you are a psychic medium or not. If you do something, they will give you a few dollars, and if you can't do something, they will not give you money.Liang Xi drove over to meet with the real estate agent. The real estate agent introduced the situation and promoted the houses he had mastered.In the end, it was assessed that Liang Xi did not have the ability to buy a house, so he gave the key to Liang Xi and asked Liang Xi to go to the haunted house to investigate the case.When they were separated, the real estate agent told Liang Xi that the haunted house was now [-]% off, so Liang Xi could think about it.

……

The haunted house is on Vail Street, on the fringes of London.The house is a three-storey villa, built along the road, without a front yard, but with a large back yard.Neatly planted shrubs, trees and other greenery separate neighbors.The architecture of each house has its own characteristics, and you can find popular styles of buildings from pre-World War II to this year in the residential area of ​​Vail Street.

The target haunted house was built in the 80s and is the legacy of Lily's grandfather.No matter from the perspective of the environment, or from the emotional point of view, or Lily's financial situation introduced by the real estate agent, Lily's idea of ​​selling the haunted house cannot be understood.Judging from this, Liang Xi thinks that Lily and the real estate agent should not have lied. There are really ghosts in the haunted house, at least Lily thinks so.
