Chapter 260: Midnight Haunted House 47
"Did the company send the wrong order?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe this woman lied."
The three men looked at the woman, who was twisting her waist as she entered the house. However, the door was open and she showed no intention of closing it.
Because the door lights were on, the alley became visible. Ye Jian turned off the headlights of the commercial vehicle, and the three of them walked into the alley.
Along the way, the doors of the houses at the entrance of the alley opened one after another, and then a woman dressed in fancy clothes came out and lit the door lights. When they saw Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe, they all asked if they wanted to come in and play.
Su Qingyun probably knew where this place was.
The land of fireworks.
All the women here are involved in the sex trade.
So No. 33 Qingshui Hutong is also a brothel?
It was really unexpected that they were cleaning up the haunted house and even the courtyard.
The three of them looked at each other again.
Ye Jian asked Su Qingyun, "Have you never been to a place like this?"
Su Qingyun asked back, "Have you been there?"
"I had the pleasure of being there for a while." Ye Jian looked at Xu Xinghe, "Mr. Xu should go there more often. I heard that the nightlife in the imperial capital is very rich."
"I am a legal citizen and never go to illegal places." Xu Xinghe answered proudly and sternly.
He said to Ye Jian, "Since you've been there once, you should be very familiar with this kind of place. When we get to No. 33, you lead the way."
"I went to an illegal place in the real world, not to consume but to find people. How could I be familiar with the red-light districts of the Republican era like Qingshui Hutong?"
The red-light districts of the Republic of China period?
After hearing what Ye Jian said, Su Qingyun looked carefully at the women in each house. The clothes they wore were really very Republican-era.
They were all wearing cheongsams, some were wearing cloud-shoulder drapes and smoking, while others were cracking melon seeds with their fingers raised. They stood by the door, their eyes fixed on the street.
Why would a house in a place like this become a haunted house?
What kind of person would die in there? A woman engaged in the flesh trade, or a man who came here for pleasure?
Su Qingyun walked forward while thinking. At this time, another road appeared in front of the alley, and it seemed that she was about to reach the end.
"What's the house number now?" Su Qingyun asked the two.
"Number 16."
I've only walked halfway, and it's already the end.
Su Qingyun hurried out of the intersection and looked at the street. The sky had become even darker. Now he could not see the houses opposite. He could only see a few bare trees standing on both sides of the street, which exuded a gloomy atmosphere.
There was only No. 16 in this alley, and this fact left Su Qingyun a little confused.
Could it be that Qingshui Hutong is two alleys?
Su Qingyun walked a few meters forward along the intersection and saw another alley with the name Yangshan Hutong written on it.
She walked back and on the other side of Qingshui Hutong was Goushan Hutong.
There is only one Qingshui Hutong.
Su Qingyun entered the alley again and decided to find a shop to ask.
As soon as she entered the alley, she found that the house number, which was clearly written as No. 16 Qingshui Hutong, had changed.
It became No. 17 Qingshui Hutong.
She continued walking forward and arrived at No. 18 Qingshui Hutong, and then further, she arrived at No. 19 Qingshui Hutong.
The three of them walked forward until they reached the other end, which was the intersection they had just entered. She saw No. 32 Qingshui Hutong.
"It seems we have to turn back. If we look back, we might end up at No. 33 Qingshui Hutong." Su Qingyun said to Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe.
The two people also felt that this was the pattern.
But when they turned around, they saw No. 1 Qingshui Hutong.
The woman who had come out to hang the door light earlier was leaning against the door frame, fanning herself with a fan. Seeing Su Qingyun appear at the door again, she smiled and asked, "Are you done with your business?"
"No, we haven't found No. 33 Qingshui Hutong yet."
"I told you there's no No. 33 Qingshui Hutong, but you still don't believe me."
"Didn't you later say there was one, and that it was a haunted house?"
"A huge fire burned it all down, so it became a haunted house." The woman stopped fanning herself and said to Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe with a smile, "Two handsome men, I think you shouldn't look for No. 33. Come to our Yunxian Hall first. The girls there are all very beautiful, and they're all only eighteen years old."
"Are you the madam of this shop?"
"What a shameful term 'madam'. I'm their elder sister. The girls are too shy to solicit customers, so I come out to help them."
Ye Jian looked at Xu Xinghe and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Xu Xinghe, "..." Su Qingyun stretched out her hand and pinched Ye Jian's waist, saying seriously, "We came here to complete the clearance, not for you to have fun."
"Who could be having fun in this dungeon? We have no clues right now, so we need to look for them. The only person in this alley willing to talk to us is this brothel owner. Don't you think she might be an NPC from this dungeon?"
This makes sense.
When completing a level, if you want to obtain new clues and trigger new plots, you must interact with NPCs. What Su Qingyun is best at when completing a level alone is interacting with NPCs.
Unexpectedly, because Ye Jian was going in today, she forgot about this matter.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Su Qingyun apologized to Ye Jian.
"It's okay, just pay for my drinks later." Ye Jian said as he walked towards the woman.
The woman was delighted to see that Ye Jian was persuaded by her words, and she quickly called out to the inner hall, "Yunyun, Xianxian, a guest is coming, come down quickly to greet him."
Hey, are you going in for some tea?
Su Qingyun looked at the time. It was six thirty. He could spend some time here.
Forget it, since the people drinking tea are Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe, just let them do what they want.
Su Qingyun took two quick steps, took out some paper money from her bag and stuffed it into Ye Jian's hand, then asked him to give her the car keys.
"I'll meet you in the car."
"You're not coming in?"
"This isn't a good place for me to come in."
"We're dressed like this and wearing helmets, so who would know if you're a man or a woman?"
"But the other party only called you two handsome guys." Who would have known that she was wearing a helmet but not a chest covering, so the other party couldn't tell whether she was a man or a woman.
But Ye Jian insisted on letting her in.
It is said that we share happiness and difficulties together.
Su Qingyun, "..." She really had to thank him. Did she need to enjoy such a blessing?
Su Qingyun was pulled in by Ye Jian.
When they arrived at the inner hall, Yunyun and Xianxian floated down from the second floor with the fragrance. They first looked at Su Qingyun, and then asked the madam.
"Sister, why is there another woman here?"
"This is the two young masters' steward, helping to pay the bills."
This positioning is accurate.
In that case, "Sister," Su Qingyun said to the madam, "We have come from out of town and haven't eaten yet. Can you set up a table with wine and food so we can fill our stomachs first?"
As she spoke, she took out another thousand paper money for the dead.
