Chapter 112 The Truth (Part [-])
The second manager, Xiao Hai, walked in front with a torch, and Xiao Jinyue followed Bai Guo into the secret passage.

The secret passage is not long enough for one person to pass through, and there is nothing special inside.

Xiao Jinyue followed to the end, and the inside was a little more spacious.Under the light of the torch, the contents inside were clear at a glance. As the second manager said, there was a basin of water on the ground, and a bench next to it, with two musical instruments on it.

The same is the most common flute.

As for the other thing, Xiao Jinyue's eyes were fixed, the shape looked familiar, she should have seen it before in modern times.

"Girl, what kind of musical instrument is this? This servant has never seen it before." Bai Guo had never seen such a strange thing, and out of curiosity, she couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

"Don't touch it." Xiao Jinyue was distractedly searching for this somewhat familiar musical instrument in her mind, when she heard Bai Guo's words, she came back to her senses, saw her reaching out to touch it, and hurriedly stopped her.

It's a pity that it has been a step too late.

Just as Bai Guo's hand touched the oddly shaped musical instrument, Xiao Jinyue suddenly made a sound and was startled.The hand wanted to retract it, but under tension, the nails accidentally scraped off the instrument.

A creepy ghost sound suddenly sounded in the dark passage.

"Girl, yes, there are ghosts..."

Bai Guo's complexion changed drastically in fright, and he quickly turned around to protect Xiao Jinyue, stammering and shouting.

Even the second manager, Xiao Hai, was startled by the sudden sound, and quickly stood sideways beside Xiao Jinyue, adopting a defensive posture.

Xiao Jinyue saw that Bai Guo's calves were shaking with fright, but she still remembered to protect her in front of her, her heart was slightly warm, she reached out and patted her arm to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world, this is just the sound from that water piano."

"Girl, do you mean that the horrible sound came from that weird instrument?"

"Yes."

Bai Guo breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, "Scared the servant to death, how could there be such a terrifying sound in this world."

Even the second manager was relieved. Although he was not afraid of ghosts, he didn't want the second girl to have an accident under his nose.

Xiao Jinyue stepped forward, gently picked up the strangely shaped musical instrument, and looked at it, "I heard that there is a musical instrument called a water piano, which can make the most terrifying sound in the world. The water piano must be this musical instrument. If I guessed right, this is the truth about the haunting of Chenji silk and satin shop."

The second steward looked thoughtful, "The girl means that Chen Ji Silk Shop is not haunted by ghosts, but someone secretly played those ghost sounds with this water piano and flute in the secret passage, which made everyone mistakenly think that Chen Ji Remember the silk shop is haunted?"

Xiao Jinyue nodded, "This should be the truth, because it was played in a tunnel, but Chen Dong's family didn't know there was a tunnel, so no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find out where the ghostly sound came from."

In fact, Xiao Jinyue is not sure whether this instrument was called a water piano in this dynasty. She just saw an introduction on the Internet by accident in modern times. There is an instrument that can make the most terrifying sound in the world.

That musical instrument is the water piano, which is used for dubbing in many ghost films.

She has never done much research on these musical instruments. When she saw this musical instrument on the Internet, she just glanced at it casually and didn't pay attention to it, so she didn't think about it just now.

Xiao Jinyue lowered her head and looked carefully at the musical instrument in front of her. The material of this musical instrument did not seem to be brass, but when she tapped it lightly, the sound was not steel either.

She really couldn't tell what kind of material it was made of for a while, and the color of the piano was a bit dull, and it looked like it had been around for a long time, but the appearance was similar to the water piano she saw online.

And this violin is obviously based on the same principle as the modern water violin, which vibrates by striking air columns of different lengths to emit sound waves of different frequencies.

Xiao Jinyue vaguely remembered that the water piano was invented by Americans, so she didn't expect to see it here.

Although she didn't know who invented the piano, she found out the truth about the haunting of Chen Ji Silk and Satin Shop.

If she guessed correctly, the haunted Chen Ji silk and satin shop should be caused by He Wanying's people.

Tsing Shan Shop has been intercepting customers who rob Chen Ji Silk and Satin Shop openly and secretly, and the two are considered competitors.

According to Chen Dong's family, since the opening of the clothing store, they have been stealing their customers secretly, and after his son's accident, they intensified, and they didn't even bother to cover up the surface.Shopkeeper He even sent two servants to stand blatantly at both ends of Chen Ji's silk and satin shop. If they saw a customer coming, they would immediately go forward and lure them to their clothing store with sweet words.

This caused the business of Chen Ji Silk and Satin Shop to get worse and worse. The owner Chen's family naturally noticed their behavior.But because they were worried about their son's life, their wife fell ill, and their grandson was young and weak, Mr. Chen's family couldn't spare any energy to manage the shop.

Later, the shop was even haunted by ghosts for no reason, which made Chen Ji's silk and satin shop empty.In desperation, Mr. Chen's family decided to sell the shop.

If she guessed correctly, it must have been He Wanying who saw something happened to Chen Dong's son and wanted to buy the silk and satin shop, but she was unwilling to buy it at the market price, so she secretly dug a secret passage into the backyard of Chen Ji's silk and satin shop.

Then they secretly sent people into the secret passage to play those horrific ghost sounds with harpsichords and flutes, and then spread rumors that Chen Ji silk and satin shop was haunted.

If someone hears that someone wants to buy Chenji silk and satin shop, the shop assistants will pretend to be kind and tell the silk and satin shop that it is haunted, or when someone comes to the silk and satin shop to visit the shop, they will secretly play those creepy ghosts in the dark passage. sound.

The ancients believed in ghosts and gods. In the eyes of those who don't know the truth, they naturally think that Chenji Silk and Satin Shop is really haunted.Even the former shopkeepers and clerks of the silk and satin shop believed it was true, and they were so afraid that they quit their jobs to find another way out.

Shops in the capital have always been expensive, and the traffic on this Taiping Street is not bad. The location of Chen Ji's silk and satin shop is not bad, but because of the rumors of haunting, even the tooth shop dare not take over.

Chen Dong's family had no choice but to lower the price again and again, but even so, no one dared to buy it.

He Wanying must be thinking that when Dong Chen's family can't stand the rumors of being haunted, she will come forward and buy the silk and satin shop at the lowest price.

It's just that Xiao Jinyue was not afraid of ghosts and bought the silk and satin shop from Mr. Chen's family.

He Wanying has been planning for the silk shop for so long, so how could she be willing to be intercepted halfway by Xiao Jinyue like this.The new hatred and the old hatred combined, which made shopkeeper He hire a gangster to pour oil and set fire to her shop in the middle of the night.

It's just that He Wanying never imagined in her wildest dreams that although Xiao Jinyue's shop was burned down by this fire, her own clothing store was also burned down, and even the land was not saved.

It was also this fire that burned out the truth about the haunted silk shop.

After listening to Xiao Jinyue's words, Bai Guo and the second manager suddenly realized.

Bai Guo said angrily, "Girl, that He Wanying is really full of bad things. She wanted to buy Dong Chen's shop, but she didn't want to pay for it. Instead, she came up with such a vicious method to rob other people's shop. People like her , I’m really pregnant. Fortunately, she was arrested and taken to Dali Temple, I hope the minister of Dali Temple can lock her up for a longer time, and don’t let her come out to harm others again.”
