Chapter 9 [Pretend to be smart]
"What are you looking for me?" The landlord looked at Li Chong in confusion.
I don’t know if it was Li Chongkai’s illusion, but after becoming more beautiful, it seemed that the landlord became kinder to him.
"I want to ask, do you know this box? It's from the basement of our apartment!" Li Chongkai was too lazy to say anything else, so he took out the box straight to the point.
Anyway, the talent has been activated, so this box is of no use to him.
The only meaning of this box is to be put back into the basement after a while.
The landlord's face suddenly became frightened, "Put this thing back! It's going to be a death!"
Li Chong opened the door slowly, "So can I go in now?"
The landlord hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Come in."
As soon as you enter the room.
"There are no slippers on the floor. Except for the one on the landlord's feet, almost all the remaining slippers are in the shoe cabinet."
"The spare slippers placed in the shoe cabinet are also very bright in color, almost the same as the color system of the high heels in the shoe cabinet. It seems that only the landlord lives here."
"There is no dust on the spare slippers. Either the landlord likes to be clean or there are customers recently."
Li Chongkai consciously changed into slippers and walked into the living room.
The decoration style of the living room is quite simple, with the back of the sofa next to the wall, and most of the colors on the wall are Morandi colors.
In the middle of the wall are rows of embedded bookshelf.
The bookshelf is full of space.
"Agatha Christie and the Quinn brothers, Paul Holt, Conan Doyle, and even Keigo Higashino and Yukitaro Isaka!"
"You are quite good at meat and vegetables." Li Chongkai said.
Li Chongkai noticed that in addition to mystery novels, there are also many strange horror novels and Buddhist scriptures.
What is the essence of this guy? He believes in ghosts and gods while reading reasoning. He is very good at it!
The landlord frowned, as if thinking about something, and did not respond to Li Chongkai's words.
If she pays attention to her bookshelf so much when she comes to her home, she will inevitably put a few words on it!
After all, in addition to satisfying the desire to collect, bookshelf is for others to show.
If you can't share it, isn't it just a brocade night walk?
Li Chongkai didn't care, and continued to look at the objects placed in the living room.
"There are ashtrays on the table? And they are old ashtrays with traces of being cleaned up."
Li Chongkai silently wrote down the details that the landlord might smoke.
The landlord seemed to have no patience. As soon as Li Chongkai entered the door, he looked around like Grand View Garden.
Apart from mentioning a few words about the bookshelf, I never talked about the box!
If it weren't for his good-looking appearance, he would have been blown out long ago.
"Where did your box come from? No matter what, I advise you to put it back quickly!" the landlord said anxiously.
Li Chongkai sat on the sofa without responding. He was considering how much the landlord knew about the situation of the box?
"Have you just divorced recently?" He didn't talk about the box, but instead asked the landlord.
"I'm still wearing a wedding ring until now, are you unwilling to accept it?"
The landlord nervously covered the ring finger of his left hand: "What's your business?"
"You probably didn't read the mystery novels on the bookshelf, right? The traces of the ashtray on the table are often used, but the smoke stains on your hands do not match the ashtray."
"Maybe it was influenced by your lover's accumulation of years. You, who originally liked ghost novels, gradually fell in love with mystery novels, so you did not throw away the mystery novels."
"Although you smoke, you don't have the habit of smoking frequently. You feel that the ashtray may be useful if you keep it, so you didn't throw it away."
"Although the shoe cabinet is clean, your number of shoes is too small, which only accounts for less than half of the shoe cabinet, and there is no dust in the free area. You threw a lot of them, right? For example, the ones he gave you?"
"It's just that you forgot to throw away some slippers. Although the color is simpler, it's a one-get-free one. If you buy a pair of pink and get a pair of blue, you just throw the blue ones."
"It's a coincidence that I, a single dog, happens to have a pair of the same style at home! I bought it in the supermarket downstairs."
Li Chongkai seemed to have come to his home, took a kettle and picked up a cup of hot water from the direct drinker, and poured it on himself.
The landlord looked disbelief and was completely beaten by him.
"What the hell are you here to do?"
Li Chongkai looked solemn and said with a solemn look: "Tell me everything you know about the box, it's about life!"
The reason why he said so much was nothing more than suppressing the landlord's psychology. Otherwise, with the landlord's personality, it would be difficult to explain everything he knew.
As for the landlord's love story, he was too lazy to care about it!
The landlord took off his facial mask with a decadent look on his face and sat on the sofa.
He slowly spoke, "Our community is haunted! Well, it should be said that only your building is haunted..."
Li Chongkai nodded: "I know."
"You know?!" the landlord exclaimed and almost bounced off the sofa.
When she opened a rented house for Li Chong, she concealed the matter in order to rent out the house.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually knew!
She looked at Li Chongkai with guilt as if she had done something wrong and continued:
"Some time ago, about a few weeks ago, someone committed suicide in that building..."
"And the residents all said that there was a ghost in that building, and they couldn't sleep well at night!"
"My husband usually reads mystery novels and doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. Seeing that the residents are about to check out! He decided to try the law with his own eyes! He went to stay for one night in person to dispel the tenants' doubts."
Hearing this, Li Chongkai became interested and slowly sat up straight. He probably had guessed the fate of the landlord’s husband.
"Then what?"
"Then my husband...he's nothing."
Fuck! You can say nothing about it! Li Chongkai was speechless!
Are you here?
The landlord quickly said, "Listen to me! The residents didn't even eat my husband's set, and they checked out one after another!"
"And since I came back, my husband seemed to have become a different person! After I came back, I didn't even read mystery novels, watched horror live broadcasts every day, and clamored to divorce me every day!"
"I feel like he's possessed by something, talking about a box every day."
"We separated later." The landlord lowered his head and whispered, "but I found the box he mentioned."
"Is this thing?" Li Chong drove into the air and threw this mysterious little box.
When the landlord saw that the box was thrown away by Li Chong, he was shocked.
Li Chongkai continued to ask: "Where were you looking for?"
