Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Is it troublesome?
"I think she hid the things because she never thought she would use them." Cheng Haixiang said after a moment of silence after being teased by Su Yun.
Su Yun raised an eyebrow: "I never thought it would be used. What you mean is that she thinks she can solve the problems in the community and is too arrogant?"
According to Cheng Haixiang's description, a series of strange problems really occurred in their community. They seemed to be explainable by common sense, but they were terrifying when you think about it carefully. Anyone would think about whether they should ask a master to take a look.
But these days, how many true masters can there be?
Even if you study Taiyi Ziwei and the like honestly, it will take decades of accumulation if you don't have talent, and those with talent still need to make contacts with acquaintances. Ordinary people can never see a true master.
The appearance of Lai Shu can be said to be a life-saving straw that Cheng Haixiang grasped. He couldn't give up his expensive house. When he found someone who could solve the problem, he naturally became anxious with the other party. Lai Shu might have some ability, but he didn't expect an accident to happen.
Cheng Haixiang was honest and said, "I don't know if she was arrogant or not. I don't even know what she did. I don't know where the coffin came from. I just want to solve the problem, but now, the most important thing is to save people. If she gets into trouble because I called the police, I may have to face legal sanctions. But at that moment, I felt that she didn't want me to call the police."
Su Yun nodded slightly: "I understand what you mean, but before we save her, we need to know how she became like this. Tell me about the situation in your community first."
"Well... I have to state in advance that what I know about the community situation is all from hearsay. It may be slightly different from the truth, but the rumors are like that..." Cheng Haixiang gave Su Yun a shot of prevention first.
As stated in the table, Cheng Haixiang inherited a fortune from his relatives, which was a considerable sum for an ordinary person. But in fact, this money was far from enough for him to buy a very nice house in Bincheng. The housing prices in Bincheng were already heading towards six figures per square meter.
That community is a new one, but as we all know, the so-called new communities are often actually completed much earlier, and communities within ten years can be considered new communities. After comparing various house types and prices, Cheng Haixiang chose Tianshuiyuan in the old district of Bincheng.
There were no problems at the beginning. Cheng Haixiang was very excited about the new house he was about to own. He even thought of taking pictures of the entire decoration process and posting them online, and becoming a self-media blogger. But soon, an accident occurred.
I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but now that I think about it, the first thing that went wrong was the plumbing and electricity during the renovation.
Cheng Haixiang didn't know much about decoration, so after buying the house, he asked a decoration company to take full responsibility. He also hired a lawyer and the decoration company's acceptance inspector to negotiate with him. He kept filming videos himself, and since he was a tall man, the decoration masters did not dare to cut corners.
The first time was when I installed the wiring and water pipes and it became a mess just one night later.
The worker also asked Cheng Haixiang if he came over at night to shoot the video and messed it up, but Cheng Haixiang did not come over at night. He rented a house in another district at the time and did not come over at night, otherwise he would not be able to go back because there was no subway.
Everyone’s first reaction at the time was that a thief had broken in, so they asked the property management of the community to check the surveillance. The surveillance showed that no one had entered or left, not even a cat, so why was there such a chaos?
The property management of the community laughed it off and said that it might be caused by the vibration from the renovations going on upstairs and downstairs.
Unable to find the cause, and since nothing was lost, the matter was left unresolved.
The second problem occurred in the bathroom. Cheng Haixiang left two bathrooms according to the style of internet celebrities. A bathtub was to be installed in the master bedroom, and the water pipes had to be designed separately. Unexpectedly, when it was being done, water suddenly came out from the ground and suddenly flooded the entire bathroom. There happened to be electrical wires there!
Two workers were sent to the hospital that day. The water pipe problem was clearly photographed by Cheng Haixiang. The responsibility lay with the developer and the property company, so they compensated the two workers.
No one took this matter seriously and the renovation continued. During the renovation period, an incident happened in the community. A boy jumped off the building. He said that he was under great pressure from studying and was beaten and scolded by his parents when he was doing his homework at night. He couldn't stand it and rushed to the balcony crying, but accidentally fell down.
Of course, there are different opinions as to whether the child jumped off the building voluntarily or fell down accidentally. The owners received a certain amount of compensation and hush money, so no big fuss was made. After all, the floor was not very high and there were trees below to block the child. The child was seriously injured, but not dead, so everyone took the money and didn't say anything.
The renovation is not a one- or two-day thing. It just started from the time when the child jumped off the building. Cheng Haixiang, with a bystander's mentality, occasionally chatted with the uncles and aunts walking in the community, trying to find out whether the child was finally discharged safely.
Unexpectedly, I heard all kinds of strange things from them.
In fact, this community has quite a lot of problems. For example, the water and electricity meters are always running in rooms even though the owners are not at home. Also, during construction, things are always lost at the construction site of this community. Later, the nearby police station caught several thieves, but they all said that they had never stolen the steel bars here. They suspected that they were stolen by mobile thieves.
Later, when the community was completed, the first group of people to move in were actually the reserved owners, whose houses had been fully decorated when the building was being constructed.
Since the construction of the community was completed, someone's elderly fell and got hurt, someone's child got into an accident, someone's couple started to divorce... It sounded like ordinary family gossip, but in the end, blood would be shed.
Just like the child who fell from the building, his parents said that the child was throwing a tantrum and went to the balcony to cry. Their communication was not smooth, and the child was too excited and fell down accidentally.
Nowadays, most homes with children have surveillance systems installed, and judging from the surveillance, the parents are not wrong.
This is the situation in most communities. There are always conflicts and sad things happening.
Cheng Haixiang originally thought that it might be because of the high pressure in big cities. After all, in some provinces where the pressure is really high, the number of junior and senior high school students jumping off buildings is in the tens. It is not uncommon to see more than a dozen people jumping off buildings at a time, not to mention first-tier cities like Bincheng.
It’s not that no one dies, it’s just that when ordinary people die, people would just say “they couldn’t handle it”, and no one would think it’s a big deal. As long as they don’t die, it’s fine, and life must go on.
But when you actually live in such a community, the feeling is still different, as the place is shrouded in the smell of blood.
Many times, Cheng Haixiang would go out to buy something and greet his neighbor in a friendly manner. But when he came back, he would see his kind neighbor smashing things and screaming crazily, scolding her husband, beating her children, and smashing furniture. She was so broken that she looked like a lost person.
The husband and son were adding fuel to the fire, as if they were very happy to see their mother go crazy, with malice full on their faces.
When they saw Cheng Haixiang, who was shocked outside the door, they seemed to come to their senses. They were confused at first, then smiled helplessly. The family of three looked warm again. They apologized to Cheng Haixiang and said they were helping their children with their homework.
Cheng Haixiang didn’t know what to say, so he just smiled and went home.
This kind of thing happened more than once. When Cheng Haixiang found that, apart from families with children, even families with only two elderly people, single men and women, and young couples were acting weird, he began to get scared.
"Director Su, when you listen to these things one by one, you may think that they are very common things that may happen in every family, and you would not care at all if you encounter them normally. But it is precisely because they are too common and everyone will encounter everything in life that when they are put together, they seem very... weird." Cheng Haixiang tried to express his feelings to Su Yun, but the words were pale.
He didn't know how to explain to Su Yun how much it was like a rule-based weird story when a person was in an environment that would never get better.
The scary thing is probably that no one thinks these things put together are scary.
Su Yun tilted his head to look at the ghost and then at the ghost bride: "What do you think?"
The erotic ghost shook his head: "It's not that bad. I once knew a man who killed nearly twenty wives in his lifetime. He was later caught and executed."
The ghost bride shook her head and said, "Yeah, I've seen two old men like the same old lady before. They were jealous of each other, and then the old lady decided to choose the old man she liked. The other old man cut them both into pieces, throwing half into the park pond and the other half into the sea."
The implication is, if what Cheng Haixiang encountered were haunted, then what did they encounter?
Are you making trouble?
Cheng Haixiang suddenly felt that the neighborhood was not that weird after all.
