Chapter 29 Curse
Liang Xi glanced at Poppy, stepped back down the stairs, walked to the living room on the first floor, leaned over to touch the wooden floor, and touched the liquid.Liang Xi tried his fingers and sniffed again: it was water.How can there be water?
Liang Xi looked sideways and saw traces of water on the floor, puddles of water entering the last room.Liang Xi checked the two doors again, but found no signs of being opened.

Poppy walked downstairs slowly, reached out and touched a handful of water on the floor, thoughtfully: "Obviously you've become its target. If you really beg me, I can save your life."

"Pretend to be a ghost." Liang Xi followed the water stains and entered the last room, only to see the back of a mirror glued to the wall by the window, with red words on the back: Don't look in the mirror in the middle of the night.

Liang Xi looked at the red letter on the back of the mirror and slowly reached out.Poppy discouraged: "This is a curse, I advise you not to touch it." After he left the door of the room, he walked to the stairs step by step. When he was going up the wooden stairs to go back to the second floor, there was a miserable sound of a beam in the room. scream, and then the sound of falling to the ground.

Poppy sighed, "I told you not to touch it."

Poppy returned to the lobby on the second floor and sat quietly.Ten minutes later, there was a slight sound of the door closing, and Bobby was still sitting still, listening to the footsteps going upstairs.The footsteps stopped at the last few steps.

I don't know how long it took, Poppy said, "Ali, I know it's you."

A man in a raincoat walked up the stairs and stood at the entrance with a wrench in his hand.

Poppy sighed: "It's fake again, it's fake again." It's a pity.

The man in the raincoat took off the faceless male mask on his face, and took off the raincoat and hat. It was the real estate agent Yali.Allie asked, "Where's Shirley?"

Poppy pointed to the corridor: "Eat my gossip and lie there."

Ali glanced at the corridor, a dog lay motionless at the end: "You killed it?"

Bobby dismissed Ari's question, saying, "I knew from the beginning that you were the one doing the trick, because you lied to me. You didn't want to sell the house, you wanted to buy it. You used your dog and wrench to scare you. Walked and knocked out a lot of people, without exception, who thought there was a ghost in the house. By the way, and the metal mirror you plugged into the socket."

Allie asked, "How did you know that?"

Poppy replied triumphantly and gracefully, "Because I called Lily and she told me you wanted to buy her house. I happen to know you have a dog, and I happen to know what the dog likes to eat. You use the windows outside. You pretend to be a ghost and train your dog to cooperate with you. Right? Ali, who is called the haunted house sales champion in the industry. You have been using the haunted house to buy a house at a low price, then hire a psychic to exorcise the ghost, and then sell the house. The psychic earned Fame, you gain money."

Allie: "You know too much." Walked towards Poppy.

"I know so much, how can I not know that you will use force?" Poppy reached into his pocket and took out an air conditioner remote control: "I'll give you a chance to surrender to the police... Nani?"

Ali grinned and approached Poppy, Poppy touched her body, where's my emergency pager?
Allie: "Go to hell, kid."

"Wait, am I afraid of you?" Poppy stood up, facing Ari in a fighting stance, suddenly pushed the window beside him, and shouted out, "Help, help."

Ali was in a hurry, rushing up to be a wrench, and Poppy dodged aside.Ari kicked Poppy in the leg, and Poppy fell to the ground.Ali raised the wrench: "You smart kid, did you happen to know that I used to be a fighter?"

"No." Bobby shook his head.

With a bang, Poppy waited for a moment, looked up, and saw that Yali turned to look at Liang Xi behind him. Liang Xi held a mirror-like thing made of metal and slapped Yali's head again.Yali watched Liang Xi collapsed to the ground after a few seconds, motionless.

Poppy stood up very unhappy: "I'm about to subdue him, why are you joining in the fun?"

Liang Xi raised the metal in his hand, and Poppy immediately changed the subject very alertly: "Aren't you corona?"

Liang Xi glanced at Poppy with contempt. Poppy felt that his self-esteem was shot through. Liang Xi said, "Although I don't understand why there are water stains or why there is an extra mirror, I know that there is a socket on the back of the mirror."

Poppy stretched out his left hand: "OK, we worked together to catch the criminal, the culprit of the haunted house. Come on, give me a high five."

Liang Xi took out the tie and handcuffs and took out the phone: "He is a criminal, but he is not the culprit."

Poppy was stunned: "No, he is. He used the haunting to buy real estate at a low price, and then sell the real estate."

Liang Xi said: "He's not, you can ask him yourself. Hello, I'm Liang Xi from the Rose Detective Agency. I caught a criminal suspect. I would be very grateful if you could send detectives here... The location is "Okay, see you later."

When calling, Bobby had already patted Ari awake: "Why are you pretending to be scary?"

Yali found that his hands were handcuffed: "Didn't you already know?"

Bobby looks at Liang Xi: Look.

Liang Xi: "You didn't ask the right question. Yali, why did you scare Lily?"

Yali was a little anxious: "No, I didn't scare Lily, you don't want to wrong me. Lily found me, and I knew there was an intruder. I just wanted to buy the house, but Lily didn't want to sell it, and put up the help message. Bounty Network. Many people have confirmed to Lily that it is haunted through me. As long as you scare you away, I can successfully get the house at the lowest price."

Poppy encouraged: "Don't be afraid of his threats. The only way out is to bravely admit your guilt."

Ali was not convinced: "I admit why I attacked you, why don't I admit to frightening Lily?"

Poppy: "Because you're afraid of aggravating the crime."

Liang Xi was fair: "Didn't you notice that it was all surveillance? What method did Ya use to sneak into Lily's room?"

Poppy thought for a moment. "Dog."

Liang Xi: "No, it's a pig, you are a pig. Even if a dog is trained like a human, it can't escape the surveillance." Liang Xi already knew the truth of the case, but he didn't think that Yali pretended to be a ghost, so he was really caught frightened.It wasn't until he saw that mirror Liang Xi that he was absolutely sure that someone was pretending to be a ghost.However, Liang Xi did not have the information that Poppy had, and did not deduce Yali.So Liang Xi pretended to be stunned by electric shock, waiting for the follow-up development.

Bobby was not reconciled: "You mean Lily is mentally ill? Otherwise, with so many cameras, the intruder will definitely be found. But you must not know, I have asked a professional psychologist to evaluate Lily's mental state, and he thinks that Lily is completely insane. Problem. Lily was also fully examined and found no physical cause for the hallucinations."
