Chapter 32: Conspiracy to murder ghosts
"By the way, two guests died on the way from the restaurant to the guest rooms more than ten days ago. After examining the bodies, we found that they were carrying weapons and seemed to be plotting to kill someone. However, on the way to the guest rooms, they accidentally fell into the lake and drowned." Manager Wu added.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at the quiet lake with rippling water in the night.
Drowning again.
Several strange stories in the villa seem to be related to the ghost in the lake.
The lady in charge of guest rooms was killed after seeing a water ghost, the gardener died in the lake, and now the two conspiring ghosts have also drowned in the lake!
"This water ghost is probably not simple. Perhaps all the secrets of this villa are related to her."
"Zheng Shaoming and Butler Zhang went into the mountains. What happened tonight must have been related to them. What was their reason for doing this?"
Jiang Chen murmured to himself, no longer paying attention to Manager Wu, and walked towards the restaurant.
There were no lights outside the buildings of the villa, and the night was as dark as ink. The closer he got to the restaurant, the colder the air became. There must be more than one ghost in here!
Pushing open the glass door, Jiang Chen stepped in. As soon as he came in, he smelled a bloody smell. He groped forward in the darkness and accidentally tripped over something.
Jiang Chen turned on the light of his phone and looked down. What he saw was a human hand. Looking up, he saw a dead face with wide eyes in the darkness. There was a knife stuck in its neck and the man was wearing the uniform of a villa employee.
The sticky blood plasma flowed on the floor. Jiang Chen reached out and touched it. It was still warm. He must have died not long ago.
"This person may have died at the hands of two conspiring ghosts. Before they kill someone, they seem to conspire loudly beside the person, then wait for a while before killing him."
"Li Jie has also offended these two ghosts. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be killed tonight. However, it seems that the two ghosts have not taken any action against him yet. They should still be in this restaurant!"
Jiang Chen pulled the knife out of the employee's neck, closed his wide-open eyes, and stood up to walk towards the toilet.
As soon as he entered the corridor leading to the toilet, he heard heavy breathing and someone shouting cautiously.
"Lao Yang...Lao Yang, where are you? Are you still alive?"
"Fuck! This crappy phone, why can't I get through at the critical moment? I don't want to die yet..."
A voice sounded angry, but in fact it was filled with suppressed fear.
Jiang Chen recognized that the person was Zhao Xiaodong, a pretty good classmate in the academy. He often took the initiative to help his classmates, such as moving books and welcoming new students. He was very popular.
He took a few steps forward and saw a man in the corridor with his back pressed against the wall. He was frantically typing on his cell phone, his face covered in sweat. He glanced around in panic from time to time, as if he was on guard against something.
The power in the restaurant seemed to have tripped. There were no lights in here, only the light from his cell phone in the darkness.
The corridor was eerily quiet, and Zhao Xiaodong's face became more and more frightened, because he knew that he was not the only one here, or rather, those two were not human at all!
When Jiang Chen looked over, he discovered that, illuminated by the light of Zhao Xiaodong's cell phone, in the darkness beside him, there was a miserable face staring at him with ill intentions, but he himself didn't notice it at all.
"Zhao Xiaodong!"
Jiang Chen shouted.
Zhao Xiaodong was startled and looked up: "Who! Who?"
"Me! Jiang Chen!" Jiang Chen turned on the light of his mobile phone, strode over, and deliberately answered loudly.
During this process, he saw that miserable human face turned its head and looked at him deeply, then retreated into the darkness.
A ghost that plots to kill people likes to be secretive. Once it is discovered, it will temporarily give up the idea of harming people.
Jiang Chen concluded in his heart.
