Chapter 336 Gold Digger 9
On the way to the middle-aged man's house, he also briefly mentioned his son's situation: insomnia, being woken up by strange noises in the middle of the night, and experiencing hallucinations. The hospital examination found nothing wrong.
So, his mother said that her grandson might have encountered a ghost.
When Ning Yan arrived at the middle-aged man's house, she saw his wife and son. The wife was dressed quite fashionably, but she looked tired and listless.
My son looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was pale, had very dark circles under his eyes, and looked rather thin.
"Tell me what exactly happened."
Xiao Fangsi said, "It was six days ago. I was working non-stop at work and hadn't slept the night before. When I got home, I went straight to bed without even taking a shower."
Logically, I should have slept soundly until dawn after not sleeping for more than 30 hours, but I was awakened by a loud noise in the middle of the night.
I was half asleep and didn't know what the sound was, but I drifted off to sleep again.
The next night, I went to the bathroom and heard a buzzing sound and the sound of rushing water. The sound gave me goosebumps and I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night.
At first, I thought it was because of work stress, or maybe I misheard. But this has been going on for six days now, and I don't know if the problem is with me or someone else.
"Has anything unusual happened in the last few days?"
Xiao Fang thought for a long time before finally shaking his head.
Ning Yan: "Do you live in this house alone?"
Xiao Fangsi: "Yes, I moved out of my family home after I started working, and I live here all by myself."
However, my cousin came to keep me company the day before yesterday, but he didn't hear anything.
Ning Yan lightly scratched at the fabric sofa in his house with her fingernails a few times, and Xiao Fangsi immediately looked at her right hand fingers.
"Is there any way to contact him? Ask him if he's noticed anything unusual at home?"
The middle-aged man personally called his nephew, and sure enough, the call was quite effective.
"A couple of days ago, it seemed like water was dripping from the bathroom ceiling, and the water was a bit red."
Ning Yan immediately stood up. "Take me to the restroom."
Xiao Fangsi reacted quickly this time, standing up and leading Ning Yan to the bathroom. Ning Yan glanced inside and immediately instructed the other party, "Call the police and have them come in plainclothes, so as not to alert them."
The Xiao family: !
"Master, what's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be haunted? Why are we calling the police?"
Ning Yan didn't want to repeat herself, so she waited until the four plainclothes police officers entered before dropping the bombshell, "I suspect there's been a murder upstairs!"
With a loud bang, the three members of the Xiao family were all terrified!
"No," the four police officers were also taken aback. "What evidence do you have?"
"Yes, he has extraordinary hearing; he can hear things that others cannot."
The night Xiao Fangsi was startled awake, there must have been an argument upstairs, and something fell to the ground, making that noise.
There should even have been the sound of chopping meat, but the other person probably did it while Xiao Fangsi was at work, so he didn't hear it.
The buzzing sound was probably from a meat grinder being used to chop up a corpse late at night, followed by the sound of rushing water, and then the sound of the sewer being blocked but not completely blocked, which is why Xiao Fangsi heard the dripping sound.
The evidence is the faint reddish water stains seeping from the ceiling.
"Take a look, and you should have the answer soon."
The Xiao family was terrified. Damn it, if this were true, a murderer was living upstairs, and he had even killed and dismembered the body, with the remains flowing into the sewer. This was even more terrifying than encountering a ghost!
The police acted quickly; after a few phone calls, they had a clear understanding of the upstairs residents' situation in no time.
Upstairs lives a young couple. The husband works for a large company, and the wife owns a bar. Her family is well-off. These past few days, both of them have been going to work as usual.
But six days ago, on Monday, my husband took a day off because he was away on a business trip last week and was supposed to come back this Tuesday. However, because his work went smoothly, he returned on Sunday.
The company thought he might be tired from the business trip, so they approved his leave.
Four police officers: Isn't this a bit like a husband who comes home early and accidentally catches his wife cheating, then kills her in a fit of rage?
My God, they might have really stumbled upon a murder case!
Then they retrieved surveillance footage from the neighborhood and the bar, and even called a forensic doctor to check if the faint red stain on the ceiling was real human blood.
Ning Yan didn't care about any of that. She looked at the family of three, who were clearly quite frightened, and asked, "Do you want a good luck charm and a talisman?"
There is no spiritual power in this world, so the talismans drawn have no special effect.
But she saw that the family of three had been safe and sound for the past three years, so she gave them some talismans to put their minds at ease, which could be considered a form of psychological therapy.
All three of them shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Half an hour later, Ning Yan was escorted out by Mr. Xiao with a large sum of money in her arms. "You can contact me again after the case is solved. I am also quite good at feng shui."
They definitely won't live in this house anymore. Selling a house requires a ritual, and buying a house should also involve checking the feng shui. You really need a master.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely ask Master Ning for help in the future."
The family watched Ning Yan leave, then quickly drove away as well. They would never take another step into the house they had bought for their son unless absolutely necessary.
As for the house depreciating, so be it, they're not short of money.
The trip to the Xiao family took too long, and it was almost four o'clock when Ning Yan left. She found a place to eat quickly, and then went to the construction site to pick up Yu Ruidong.
When Ning Yan arrived, Yu Ruidong was pushing a handcart loaded with steel pipes. A man was helping him. The things on the cart looked very heavy. The main structure of the building was not yet completed. He had mentioned that it was a building with more than 30 floors, but only a dozen floors had been built so far.
Yu Ruidong, with his sharp eyes, spotted Ning Yan as soon as she approached. "Why are you here? This place is so dirty!"
After saying that, he glanced at the brown leather shoes on his girlfriend's feet.
"I'll wait for you, since you'll be off work soon anyway."
"Then stand further away, it's not safe here."
Fortunately, there were still 15 minutes left before he got off work. After giving him a few instructions, he quickly pushed his cart to get to work.
A fellow worker nearby teased, "Little Yu, I didn't expect your girlfriend to be so beautiful!"
"I always thought he was lying when he said he had a girlfriend, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"The key is that she's beautiful, and I heard she's a college student!"
Yu Ruidong was a little embarrassed, but he was also happy and a little proud. His girlfriend was so beautiful, just as he said!
"Alright, alright, let's get back to work, or the foreman will come and yell at us again!"
Thank you so much, Big Eyes, for the 1500 Qidian Coins!
