Jiang Ning also reached out and touched the wallpaper.
Soon, she smelled a peculiar odor in the mold.
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes and met Shen Jingnian's gaze. Although neither of them said anything, they clearly saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
The real estate agent was already nervous, and seeing the two of them like this made her even more nervous. She felt goosebumps all over and hugged her arms. "Miss Jiang, Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? Is... is there a ghost? Don't scare me!"
This house is already considered eerie.
Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian then adopted a mysterious demeanor.
Jiang Ning didn't answer the agent's question directly, but instead turned her gaze slightly and asked, "When was this painting on the wall put up?"
"It should be the first owner," the agent replied.
"With so many changes of owners, have the paintings on the walls never been changed?" Shen Jingnian asked, voicing his doubts.
The agent continued, "This painting is a work by Master Yuanshan, and it is very precious. The first homeowner simply glued it on, so if the wallpaper is torn down and the wall is renovated, the painting will be lost. Therefore, almost every homeowner has never thought of replacing the painting or renovating the wall."
Master Yuanshan.
He is a renowned master of traditional Chinese painting, but there are relatively few genuine works circulating in the market, so the price is naturally very high.
Jiang Ning looked at the painting again, her eyes filled with contemplation.
"Ningning, what's wrong?" Shen Jingnian noticed her unusual behavior immediately.
Jiang Ning continued, "I heard my maternal grandmother say that my mother used to really like Master Yuanshan's works, so the family collected a lot of Master Yuanshan's paintings."
Si Huashang has collected nearly a hundred paintings by the master Yuanshan.
Mei Jie was specially invited back to take care of Si Huashang.
If Sister Mei were to secretly take a painting by Master Yuanshan while Si Huashang wasn't paying attention, it wouldn't be discovered in a short time.
If Sister Mei stole the painting for profit, she wouldn't have pasted it on the wall.
unless.
She wanted to use this painting to hide something.
Because as long as this painting is there, every homeowner who moves in will not touch this wall!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning pinched a corner of the painting.
Hiss--
The entire painting was torn off!
The old, damp walls are visible in the air.
The walls were not only damp but also showed signs of cracking, and the room seemed to grow even colder as the painting was torn down.
The real estate agent was startled by Jiang Ning's sudden action. "Ms. Jiang, why did you tear up the painting?"
Although the painting has been eroded by mold to the point that its original appearance is no longer visible, it is still an authentic work by Master Toyama.
There's something inside the wall.
Jiang Ning's voice was very soft and gentle, yet it sent chills down the middleman's spine.
Is there something inside the wall?
The agent was so frightened he stammered, "What...what is it? No, it's not a ghost, is it?"
"Don't worry," Shen Jingnian took a step forward, "there are no ghosts in this world."
After saying that, Shen Jingnian raised his hand and tapped the wall.
slap slap slap--
Immediately, some plaster fell off the wall.
Shen Jingnian lowered his hand and looked at Jiang Ning, "Let's call the police."
"Mm." Jiang Ning nodded slightly and took out her phone.
The real estate agents were dumbfounded, their faces turning deathly pale. "Two big shots, what's inside the wall?"
It's not a ghost.
Could it be...?
Thinking about what had happened in this room, the real estate agent was so frightened that his legs were shaking.
Bang!
The next second, the agent collapsed to the ground.
The police (110) will arrive quickly.
It only takes a few minutes to get there.
"Who called the police?" The capable female police officer Qi Dui walked at the front.
“It’s us,” Jiang Ning said softly, pointing to the wall in front of her. “The problem is with this wall.”
Team Leader Qi looked at the wall where the painting had been torn off, narrowed her eyes slightly. With over ten years of police experience, she keenly noticed that this wall was indeed somewhat different. After learning more about the situation, one of the police officers brought out a toolbox, and together with her colleagues, they carefully tapped on the wall.
The real estate agent hid behind Jiang Ning and Shen Jingnian, both curious and afraid, fearing that the police might smash something out of the wall that shouldn't have been smashed out.
