Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 44
"Hey! Celery Yangzi, why can you see everything? Why can't we see it?" Fat Wei suddenly expressed his dissatisfaction with Qin Yueyang's omniscient appearance.

"Who do you call celery seedlings? I can see a lot. After you become a witch like me, you will eat nothing?" Qin Yueyang glared at Fat Wei and ignored him.

Everyone returned home like this. Although it was already midnight, Chen Zhi's father saw that they had returned safely, so he fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Lu Jianguo called and said that he had to go to the hospital for an urgent matter, and he couldn't come for the time being, so he asked them to go to the house to look at the table by themselves. He also told them to act faster, his wife may not come back during the day, this matter is hidden from his wife.

"It's really a strict wife. A man can't make decisions, and he must never marry a woman from the Northeast." Fatty cursed angrily, planning to ask Lu Jianguo for more money.

At noon, Chen Zhi and Fat Wei brought Qin Yueyang to Lu Jianguo's house. They first went downstairs to get the keys from Mrs. Wu's house, and then opened the door smoothly. There was no one in the house.

They opened the wooden drawer with the key that Lu Jianguo had left for them.

When I opened it, there was a bunch of miscellaneous things inside. It had been a long time, and they were basically old people's sundries.Chen Zhi flipped through it and saw a brown photo album inside, so he took it out.The photo album is old and the pages are a little dirty.Chen Zhi flipped through the pages, and there were some old photos that turned yellow.Among them are a group photo of Lu Jianguo's parents and a single photo of Lu Jianguo's father.His father probably came from a wealthy family when he was a child, so he took many artistic photos of his childhood, as well as photos of military uniforms when he was young. The plastic film on them is very bright, and it can be seen that Lu Jianguo's mother is often rubbing.

Chen Zhi read the photo album from beginning to end, and rummaged in the drawer for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong.

"I said you, Sherlock Holmes, can't do it? Didn't you brag to me last time you drank B, saying that your IQ is 157 points? Why can't you find any clues? Hurry up, and that crazy wife Lu Jianguo will come back later. , I'm scared." Fat Wei said with lingering fear, and kept looking at the door frequently.

I don't know if it was out of sympathy or out of curiosity, Chen Zhi just felt that this family was very strange.First of all, there is a very disharmonious place here, that is, Lu Jianguo's wife is too beautiful. How could such a pretty woman like her fall in love with such a poor coal worker who has nothing?
Also, although his wife is aggressive, she behaves like someone who has read books.And there is one thing that is very wrong, that is, his wife's accent. Although she speaks Dongbei dialect, she speaks very awkwardly, as if she has been specially trained.

If Chen Zhi's deduction is correct, Lu Jianguo's wife should be a foreigner, and it is far away from the north. More importantly, his wife does not want others to know that she is a foreigner.

"I've searched all over and found nothing. Apart from this photo album, this old lady has accumulated a lot of junk." Fat Wei went over to help, and said while turning.

Seeing that they couldn't find anything, Qin Yueyang walked over by himself, touched the table, closed his eyes for a while as if sensing something, opened his eyes and said, "No, there must be something inside."

After hearing Qin Yueyang's words, Chen Zhi's eyes shifted from the drawer to the table.At that time, they saw Mrs. Lu's "Ying", pulling the drawer desperately, maybe the purpose was not the things in the drawer, but the table itself.

"Tear down the table," Chen Zhi said.

"Aren't you sick? We broke into the house illegally and tore down the table. It's no wonder we didn't call the police when that crazy woman comes back!" Fat Wei said.

"It's okay, let's take it apart! Take apart every mortise and tenon of the table," Chen Zhi said firmly.

Fat Wei had no choice but to go to the balcony to find a few guys, and Chen Zhi and the two of them took the table apart in a few strokes. The table was too old, and there were sawdust everywhere when it was taken apart.

After the table was dismantled, Chen Zhi felt all the slots inside the mortise and tenon joints. In the slot behind the drawer, he found a stone the size of a broad bean. He took the stone out and put it in the palm of his hand. Looking inside, he saw that the stone was not slick, like glass but very hard, with some deep purple inside, quite ordinary, just like a random pick on the road.

"What kind of shit is this? Where did you dig out a broken rock?" Fat Wei looked at it and asked.

Qin Yueyang walked over to take a look, but his expression changed drastically, and he said, "It's amazing, this is a life-changing stone."

"Life-changing stone? What life-changing stone?" Fat Wei asked with his eyes wide open.

With a livid face, Qin Yueyang said to Chen Zhi, quickly wrap the stone with paper, let's go, we can't stay here for long.

After hearing Qin Yueyang's words, everyone hurriedly wrapped the stone with paper, threw the broken table on the balcony, locked the door and left Lu Jianguo's house.

Before leaving, Chen Zhi went to return the key to Mrs. Wu who was downstairs. Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Wu saw them coming out, she immediately grabbed Chen Zhi's arm to prevent him from leaving, and gestured for Qin Yueyang and Fat Wei to enter the house together. Come, say you want to tell them a big secret.

Mrs. Wu is a left-behind old lady in her 70s. Her son is working out of town. She lives alone in Lu Jianguo's downstairs.When Lu Jianguo's mother, Mrs. Lu, was very close to Mrs. Wu when she was alive, the two often went grocery shopping together, and Mrs. Lu would tell Mrs. Wu what was on his mind.So when Mrs. Lu died, Mrs. Wu was very sad and cried for several days.

"Ma'am, you usually watch coldly, is Lu Jianguo filial to her mother?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Filial, there is no more filial child than him! He is kind and generous," Mrs. Wu said approvingly. "It's a pity that this child has a bad life. He has no father since he was a child. His family was poor and he didn't go to school. After finally marrying a daughter-in-law, he fell into a strange disease and coughed up blood every day. His old mother is so anxious!" Mrs. Wu said with a sigh.

"You said that Lu Jianguo got a strange disease after marrying his wife?" Chen Zhi asked.

"That's right, his daughter-in-law is simply a loser. What's the use of being good-looking? She speaks sarcasticly to her mother-in-law every day, and doesn't speak when she sees us elders. No one in our building likes her." Mrs. Wu Tai rolled his eyes and said very dissatisfied.

"You said that Lu Jianguo's daughter-in-law was not good to her mother-in-law? Then do you know how Lu Jianguo's mother, Mrs. Lu, died? We heard that she fell down the stairs and hit her head." Chen Zhi continued to ask.

"Cut, what rolling the stairs, that's not it. I just want to tell you about it." After confirming that the door was closed tightly, Mrs. Wu turned her head and stared at Chen Zhi and the others and said, "There is a goblin in their house, and Mrs. Wu was killed by a goblin." dead."
