Chapter 758 Small Money



The number of haunted houses that Lu Ban has lived in can be said to be dazzling. If we look at it from the perspective of people dying there, except for his own house, all other places he has lived in are haunted houses, and each one is more haunted than the other.

Even on a random street corner or on a random bus you take, someone could be found dead.

The deaths were all quite tragic.

Therefore, haunted houses in the real world are a piece of cake for Lu Ban.

The only thing he had to worry about was that this house was not a haunted house, but just an ordinary house where someone had died.

If a house is considered a haunted house because someone has died there, then there are not many good houses in the world.

After contacting the person in charge of the judicial auction, Lu Ban came to this villa area.

Different from the villa area near Jiangcheng University which is mostly used for rent, this villa located on the bank of Lingjiang River is a real wealthy area with river view. It is said that some celebrities also buy properties here and wear sunglasses when going in and out, for fear of being recognized by fans who are following them.

"The price of this villa is not low, and the foreclosure auction requires full payment, so those who came to inquire gave up after knowing the specific situation."

The person in charge introduced it seriously.

Lu Ban used to often hear people say that the things auctioned by the court were cheap. Some were stolen goods, while others were properties used by court enforcers to pay off debts.

Of course, there are also outrageous things like billions of Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

But in fact, houses auctioned off by law are not necessarily very cost-effective, because if you want to buy them at auction, you can only pay in full and cannot take out installment loans. Usually, such properties are luxury homes, often costing tens of millions. Even if the total price is reduced by one or two million, it is still a large sum of money.

Those who have the financial ability to pay the full amount don't need to buy this kind of house, and most of those who are willing to take it don't have that much money.

No one would buy the kind of thing that Lu Ban is watching now, since there has been a vicious murder case and there are bad rumors about it.

You say that spending tens of millions to buy a haunted house would make you feel uncomfortable, but it's not like you're short of those few million.

Lu Ban didn't care, it was just a small amount of money.

"Did someone really die here?"

After listening to what the person in charge said, Lu Ban asked.

"Well... he did die. It was mentioned in previous news reports. It was due to an emotional dispute."

The person in charge replied somewhat awkwardly.

"I've seen that case. What about before that? Have there been any similar cases that happened here?"

Lu Ban asked again.

"Ah... We don't know the specific details..."

The person in charge avoided the question.

"I see. I thought a lot of people died here."

Lu Ban said as if he was troubled.

“Uh uh…”

The person in charge was a little puzzled, but he quickly reacted.

Who is this? This is Lu Ban.

What does Lu Ban do? He makes movies!

Most of his previous films were horror and thriller in nature, and murders were child's play in his films.

Could it be that Lu Ban came here to collect materials?

The person in charge didn't care whether Lu Ban was just trying to take advantage of his introduction. He himself was a fan of Lu Ban's movies. As for "Morning Star", he was not interested in the game and did not try it.

"Let me check the files."

The person in charge said that he immediately called his colleague.

After a while, the person in charge received several PDF files via WeChat.

After opening it and taking a quick look, he walked over to Lu Ban who was staring at the bathtub.

"Director Lu, some incidents did happen here before...Director Lu?"

The person in charge saw Lu Ban squatting next to the bathtub, but his eyes were hovering at a higher position, as if he was looking at someone sitting in the bathtub. The person in charge felt it was a bit strange.

"Is this the bathroom where the businessman killed and dismembered people?"

Lu Ban turned his head, his body didn't move at all, only his head turned, looking very awkward.

"Ah... No, that's not it. The crime scene should be downstairs."

The person in charge replied strangely.

"That's strange."

Lu Ban continued to stare at the bathtub and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?"

The person in charge asked.

"Because someone has died in this bathtub."

Lu Ban pointed at the bathtub and said.

"ah?"

The person in charge hurriedly checked the files on his phone, but found no evidence of a murder in the bathroom on this floor.

For a moment, the person in charge had an illusion that everything around him had darkened. He felt a chill on his spine. Some kind of fear hidden in his heart was sprouting and gradually enveloped his whole body.

"Do you have the dossier?"

Lu Ban suddenly asked again. This sentence made the person in charge come back to his senses and he immediately handed the phone to Lu Ban.

This kind of file is internal information, and it is beyond the scope of the scope to take a look at it. Naturally, it cannot be sent to Lu Ban.

When Lu Ban took a look, he was shocked. There were quite a few dead people here.

Since it was completed ten years ago, this villa has had at least five owners. Except for the unlucky guy at the beginning who sold it because of bankruptcy, the other owners did not have a good end.

The second owner was a celebrity who didn't usually live here. But one time when he was spending the weekend here, he had a car accident on the street and was hit head-on by a dump truck. In the end, he was left with only one hand and one foot.

The third owner was a good friend of that star, also a star. He was later arrested for taking drugs here and was released a few years ago.

The fourth owner was a businessman who eventually jumped off a building in his own company due to investment failure.

The fifth one was the murderer who calmly killed his lover and his wife.

In short, most of the people who lived here died an unnatural death or encountered misfortune, and each of them was miserable.

Because of this, the price of this villa, after accumulation over the past few years, is only 80% of the opening price.

But the murder was the only recent one, and the bathtub Lu Ban was in now naturally had no criminal record.

“It’s quite interesting indeed.”

Lu Ban murmured, he thought about it and said to the person in charge.

“How do I pay here?”

"Pay?"

The person in charge was very confused.

"Yes, I want to buy this. Should I use a public transfer?"

Lu Ban asked back as a matter of course.

"Ah, have you made your decision now?"

The person in charge was speechless.

Under normal circumstances, how could a transaction worth tens of millions be decided so quickly?

Not to mention that this is a veritable haunted house.

Did Lu Ban’s money come from the wind?

Well, now that he thinks about it, it seems like he really makes money faster than the wind.

After all, no matter how strong the wind is, it can't bring in so much cash.

"Can I sleep here tonight?"

Lu Ban asked again.

"Ah... let me ask the leader first..."

The person in charge hurriedly called to inquire, and Lu Ban looked at the villa.

Although there are no ghosts or dead spirits, the deposited pollution is obviously enough to form a strange creature. Perhaps because it is daytime now, the strange creature has not appeared, but at night, perhaps something will be discovered.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban looked at the bathroom mirror.

In the mirror, beside me, there were several dark shadows standing.
