I Like Weird the Most
Chapter 162 Dead Man's Money (ask for monthly pass, ask for subscription)
It was nearly ten o'clock at night.
Snapped!
When the switch was pressed, a white lamp on the ceiling was lit.
In the proprietress's room, everything inside remained as it was.
Originally it was said that the room would be moved, but the proprietress suddenly disappeared, so Wei Xing remained the same.
And according to what Wei Xing said, the things in the room are still exactly the same as what they saw that night. It can be seen that after the proprietress rested that night, until she disappeared, she did not touch the things inside.
As soon as the two people walked in, they immediately smelled a strange smell.
He Wenzhi moved his nose and looked at Wei Xing again.
"Have you ever smelled this smell before?"
Wei Xing shook his head and said, "It's possible that my mother changed her perfume..."
He was puzzled.
In his impression, Wei Xing remembered that his mother seemed to have always liked the smell of lavender, and even used the faint lavender scent for the fragrance of clothes.
Although there is more than one brand of perfume, the smell is similar. This smell in the room is really the first time he smells it.
And his mother also likes to drink scented tea, rose tea, roselle tea, lavender tea and so on.
Because his mother often suffered from insomnia some time ago, and then heard that lavender calms the nerves, so since then she has a soft spot for lavender.
The scented tea I drink is also lavender, followed by roselle tea, because it is said that roselle tea can beautify the skin.
As a woman, it is innate to love beauty.
And she got married early and had children early.
At that time, she gave birth to Wei Xing when she was a teenager, and it has only been twenty years since then.
He Wenzhi was also checking in the room while listening to these things.
In the glass cabinet in the room, there are indeed some small bags of scented tea bags, which are full of dried flowers.
There is also a white porcelain tea set next to it, which is very neatly packed.
On the other side is the closet. Open it and take a look. Many of them are clothes and pants worn by the proprietress inside and outside. There are also many beautiful and sexy skirts. The clothes inside are also quite interesting. Most of them are Still all black.
I checked it carefully in the closet and found nothing unusual, so He Wenzhi didn't look any further.
On the side of the wall facing the window, there is a square table with an incense burner on it and some fruits in front of it.
The fruit looks blackened and seems to have gone bad.
He Wenzhi frowned, and at the same time confirmed it with Wei Xing again.
"You saw your mother worshiping your grandfather and your father in the room last night, right?"
"Yes." Wei Xing nodded.
"The fruits at that time were all fresh, right?" He Wenzhi asked again.
"It's fresh, because I drove to buy it that day, so I have the impression..." Wei Xing explained.
Those fruits were just going out during the day, and the proprietress told him to buy some fresh fruits when he came back.
Wei Xing didn't think too much about it, because Daoist Wang was going to do something that evening, so he wondered if it would be useful at that time.
It turned out that it was useless at that time, and then Wang Daochang's car broke down on the way, so he went to find Wang Daochang and sent Wang Daochang home.
When he came back again, he saw that the fruits he bought were used by his mother to worship his grandfather and father.
He Wenzhi thought for a while after hearing these words.
Since it was fresh fruit just bought yesterday, it has only been stored for a day now. Even if it is summer, it won't spoil in a day, right?
He Wenzhi lowered his head and smelled it, and could still smell some musty smell.
This is definitely more than just a day-old fruit!
With such a strong musty smell, it is certainly not possible that there was a problem when buying the fruit. After all, such a strong musty smell cannot appear in a day or two.
If it broke while selling fruit, it's impossible for Wei Xing not to find out.
"Sir... this..." Wei Xing looked at He and asked, "Is there a problem with this?"
"The fresh fruit you bought yourself will become moldy in a day or two. Do you think it's okay?"
"Uh..." Wei Xing: "Maybe I was tricked..."
He didn't seem to think of the moldy fruit in that way.
But He Wenzhi didn't think so. First of all, these fruits were used to pay homage to the dead.
When he was still on Earth in his previous life, he had heard some sayings about this.
But most of them are known through novels and old movies.
It is said that normal food is used to pay homage to the dead, and if it is really eaten by those ghosts, then the food will lose its original taste.
Even if it is reprocessed, if a living person eats it again, it will only be tasteless and tasteless.
This is one of the sayings.
There is another saying that is.
If it is eaten by a dead person, then it will bring death energy, so that the food will lose some of the energy that it originally retained.
If the essence energy is completely lost, and at the same time it is soaked in dead energy, then the spoilage speed of these foods will be accelerated.
It is clearly stated that these fruits are fresh, but after they were used to pay homage to two dead people, they became moldy and spoiled in a day and a night. This is probably the second theory that He Wenzhi heard.
It's just that I didn't expect that the sayings that I learned through novels and old movies in my previous life on the earth were actually fulfilled in this world.
But thinking about it carefully, the souls of Wei Xing's father and grandfather should have long since disappeared!
After refining himself into a corpse through the methods of the Corpse Man Sect, the soul and body are completely integrated.
It can also be understood that their bodies swallowed their souls.
Therefore, some methods aimed at souls do not have much effect on those corpses, and if the opponent's strength is high enough, they may even have no effect.
However, as long as their bodies are destroyed and their heads are smashed, they will still die completely.
Because Wei Xing's grandfather was a failure, he died long ago.
His father also died that day because he wanted to reveal who was behind the scenes, and was counterattacked by the spell planted in his body.
The father and son were dead long ago, so who would be the ghost that ate these fruits last night?
He Wenzhi thought to himself, and then glanced at the photo of their father and son leaning against the wall. In the photo, their eyes were facing out of the window.
On both sides of the incense burner, there are two half-burned red candles.
The red candle oil flowed down and accumulated a pile on the table, which had dried up and solidified.
At the same time, there was a brazier on the floor of the table, and there were still some ashes left by burning paper money in it.
Next to it was a small low table and a small low stool, and there was indeed a wooden fish on the low table. I guess this was indeed the sound of knocking on the wood last night.
But although the words said yesterday can be verified, the weirdness in it is still too obvious.
In particular, burning paper money even hides in the room and burns it?
He Wenzhi thought to himself, and walked to the dressing table again.
Looking at the cosmetics above, He Wenzhi said, "The cosmetics and perfume your mother usually uses are here, right?"
Wei Xing said just now that his mother likes the smell of lavender the most. When he checked the closet just now, the clothes inside were indeed full of the scent of lavender, and he could smell it as soon as he opened the door.
But when he first entered the room, he didn't know what the strange smell was.
That's not the musty smell of fruit.
"It should be..." Wei Xing said, but he was not sure.
Wei Xing couldn't be sure, He Wenzhi could only check one by one.
Open the bottle cap and smell the smell, and then compare it with the smell when you first entered the room.
It's just that none of the cosmetics on the table is the same as the one I just smelled.
After thinking about it carefully, if you have to say what it tasted like just now.
It's like a smell mixed with a stink.
In his previous life, He Wenzhi was still in junior high school, and there was a female student in his class who had body odor.
Then in order to cover up the smell, the female classmate would spray a lot of perfume to try to cover the smell of body odor.
But it seems to have had the opposite effect.
In short, when He Wenzhi just smelled that smell, he suddenly recalled such a thing.
However, the proprietress does not have body odor. He Wenzhi had close contact with her that day, and several times later, the other party did not have any peculiar smell.
So the smell I just smelled when I entered the room was not body odor.
Moreover, compared to body odor, He Wenzhi felt that the smell just now was even more stinky, with a feeling of rotting flesh and blood, as if it was a corpse.
He had smelled this kind of smell on walking corpses before.
"So... this is using the smell of perfume to cover up the smell of corpses?" He Wenzhi thought to himself.
"Could it be that the proprietress was turned into a corpse?"
The more He Wenzhi thought about it, the more weird he felt. It stands to reason that both mother and son had already passed the test and undergone a new ideological education after they came out of the spiritual investigation bureau, otherwise they would not have been released.
That being the case, how could the proprietress be refined into a corpse, and the refining speed is so fast?
"Wei Xing, has anyone else entered your mother's room these past few days?" He Wenzhi looked at him and said, "For example... a dead person..."
Wei Xing's heart skipped a beat, "Sir, you...you are joking...those things, haven't they been cleaned up before, why are they still there?
And, and...Yesterday evening, Daoist Wang also came to perform rituals..."
"I'm just asking, if you think about it carefully, it's fine if it's not a dead person, but a living person." He Wenzhi said.
He just wanted to make sure, after all, if it wasn't the proprietress' problem, then the corpse smell might be brought in by something else.
Without finding out the source of the problem, the matter will naturally not be so easy to solve, and at the same time, there is no way to find the proprietress.
Wei Xing thought about it carefully, and took He Wenzhi to adjust the surveillance video.
His surveillance video can be saved for seven days, and it will be automatically deleted after seven days.
In other words, today you can only see the content of seven days ago at most, but it is about this time when the mother and son come back.
It was just a careful observation, and according to the surveillance video, no one else had entered or left the room, only the proprietress.
Then at this moment, He Wenzhi, who had been staring at the surveillance video, suddenly grabbed Wei Xing's hand.
"Backwards, it's the picture of you driving past the gate of the farm when you came back that day!"
Wei Xing nodded, and adjusted the screen there.
This is the scene of Wei Xing driving back with the proprietress, which happened to be recorded by the camera at the entrance of the farm.
It's just that in his car, it wasn't just their mother and son, there was another woman!
This woman didn't look very old, that is, in her thirties, and He Wenzhi looked familiar to her, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Who's the other woman in the car?" he asked.
Wei Xing: "This is an employee of our factory! They usually live in the female employee dormitory over there, which is the one next to the female bathhouse."
He pointed to the direction over there, and said, "Sir, you went there that night."
Upon hearing this, He Wenzhi immediately recalled it.
He did go to the women's bathhouse that day, after all, the only way to enter the underground ghost realm is through there.
And when I came out, there were several female employees taking a shower inside.
He Wenzhi felt familiar just now because when he came out of the underground ghost domain that day, he happened to see this female employee taking a bath in the pool.
"Her name is Liumei, and my mother is from the same village." Wei Xing said, "Sir, on the way from Chunshi to our farm, there is a small path that turns into a sloping forest, have you seen it?"
"Well, I saw it when I came here during the day." He Wenzhi nodded: "What's wrong with that path?"
"There is a village in there, called Liuye Village. Most of the people in the village are named Liu. My mother is from there. Many employees in my farm also come from there..."
Wei Xing's mother, the proprietress, was born in Liuye Village. Her name is Liu Yuqing.
Very early on, Wei Xing's grandfather set up a breeding farm here, and the business grew bigger and bigger. Later, he gave birth to a son, who is Wei Xing's father.
Perhaps because of the short distance, many people in Liuye Village choose to work at the farm.
Moreover, food and housing are included here. In those days, there was food, housing, and money. This treatment was really not low.
Later, Wei Xing's mother, Liu Yuqing, who was only in her teens, could not provide for her to continue her education due to family conditions, so she came to work in the farm.
Because he is beautiful and has a good figure, Wei Xing's father fell in love with him almost at a glance.
Immediately afterwards, the two fell in love for a long time, and as soon as they fell in love, they became pregnant immediately.
His father was not the kind of irresponsible person, so he married Liu Yuqing directly, and then gave birth to the current Wei Xing.
People who were born in Liuye Village became the proprietresses of the farms, and more people came to work in the farms from Liuye Village.
After all, in a village, there may be some relatives, even if they are not relatives, but as long as they are from the same village, they will definitely take care of them a little bit.
So, almost since then, the people in Liuye Village, as long as the farm really needs so many employees, basically come from there.
Only later, Liu Yuqing's parents passed away.
To be honest, maintaining relationships, or walking around the streets with neighbors, is almost always done by the older generation.
Since Liu Yuqing got married, she basically didn't go back much.
If it wasn't for her parents' reluctance, she would have picked them up.
Now that her parents are both dead, for someone like her who left the village in her teens, she has no sense of belonging there.
But after all, there are still many people from Liuye Village in the farm, so if something really happened, Liu Yuqing, who could do her best, would help out.
Not to mention that she may have some problems in some aspects, but this is still very good for the villagers.
At least on the surface, Liu Yuqing's ability to do things left those fellow villagers speechless.
Just like that Liumei, she didn't work in the farm originally, because the children at home still needed someone to take care of her, so she relied on her husband to do construction work outside to make money.
But there was an accident on the construction site, and he was injured and couldn't work anymore. Although the compensation was tens of thousands of yuan, the expenses of the child alone were not small, so how long could the 100,000 yuan last.
After Liu Yuqing found out about this, she asked Liumei to work at the farm, and usually took care of her a lot.
It also happened that her child was in high school that year and needed to live in school, so she didn't have to be with her all day to take care of her, so she came here.
The reason why Liu Mei followed her back in the car that day was because she met her on the way.
Liu Mei's husband had a relapse of an old injury, and now he is sick in bed. Liu Mei took half a day off to go back to see how her husband was doing. When she came back, the battery car couldn't be ridden because she forgot to charge it.
Then she could only push the cart away, and Wei Xing just drove by at that time, and brought her back to the factory by the way.
"You and your mother came into contact with this person these days?"
"Isn't that just happened, so my mother and I seldom go out, and even if I go out, I don't have much contact with outsiders. If I have to say that I have had close contact with anyone, it is only This willow plum."
Wei Xing thought about it, and then said: "I helped her carry the battery car into my trunk that day, and my mother also chatted with her for a while, talking about her family affairs."
He Wenzhi thought about it, and asked again: "Then have you contacted anyone in Liuye Village? Maybe your mother went back to the village to worship the old man?"
Wei Xing nodded: "I asked some of my mother's fellow villagers to call back and ask. My mother never went back to Liuye Village, and the old house in the village has been unoccupied for many years. It’s like a haunted house, even if my mother goes back, she has nowhere to live, so it’s impossible for her not to come back at night.”
"Then what happened to Liumei's house, have you heard about it?"
"Well, I also heard about this when my mother was talking to her that day. It's about her husband..."
Since her husband was injured on the construction site that time, he can no longer do many things, and he is still sick in bed from time to time. The burden of supporting the family is almost on Liumei alone.
But even so, Liu Mei didn't complain.
It's just that her husband is obsessed with the anesthesia of alcohol, and at the same time he is addicted to gambling, which makes the family that is not wealthy even worse.
Then just a few days ago, I heard from Liu Mei that a very strange old man came to Liuye Village, looking for people to gamble around.
Everyone thought he was crazy, no one paid attention to him at all, but Liu Mei's husband was a gambler.
Everyone didn't want to have anything to do with that old man, so Liu Mei's husband went.
Moreover, it is said that the old man has a big bag of money.
Her husband was always a loser in every bet, and he almost never won, but at that time, he actually won!
And he won all the old man's sack of money.
This made him very happy, and he told Liu Mei immediately.
Liu Mei didn't believe it, and went back to the village two days later to take a look, and found that it was really a sack of money.
It's just that the money came from an unknown source, and the couple didn't dare to spend it casually, for fear of getting into trouble, so they have kept it at home until now.
It's really tiring to dare not use money when you have it, and to worry about it every day.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, since winning that sack of money, husband Liu Mei's body has become weaker and weaker day by day.
These days, her husband has been bedridden with illness, so the number of Liumei asking for leave to return to the village has gradually increased.
Just this afternoon, she took another leave of absence, also to go back to take care of her sick husband.
Judging from this situation, I am afraid that there may be a long vacation in the future.
After all, according to what Liu Mei is saying now, her husband can hardly even get out of bed. He is obviously a man under forty years old, but he turns out to be the same as eighty or ninety years old.
Upon hearing this, He Wenzhi suddenly wondered, would there be a problem with that old man who suddenly appeared in the village?
"You said the old man was strange, did you ask why?"
Wei Xing thought for a while, and said: "I heard from Liu Mei that the old man is always talking, and he looks a little dirty. He is obviously an old man in his seventies and eighties, but he wears clothes that are about ten years old." Children's clothes..."
"An old man in his 70s and 80s, wearing the clothes of a teenager...?" He Wenzhi muttered to himself, looking thoughtful.
"Do you have Liu Mei's phone number? If so, call now, I have something to ask her personally!" He said again.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xing nodded.
Anyway, he is his mother's fellow villager, and he is also an employee of the factory. Even if he didn't leave Liumei's phone number, the factory will record the contact information of the employees.
But Wei Xing still asked: "Sir, what do you mean... my mother's matter is related to the matter of her fellow villager Liu Mei's family?"
He Wenzhi shook his head: "I'm not sure, but there must be something wrong with Liumei's family."
He looked at Wei Xing and urged, "Why are you still standing there! Hurry up!"
"Oh, okay, I'm going to get the employee's contact information from someone." Wei Xing then called the person in charge of personnel affairs in the factory, and then asked him to send Liu Mei's phone number.
After getting the phone number, Wei Xing didn't dare to waste time, so he quickly dialed it.
[Beep...beep...beep...]
The phone was on speakerphone, and it did get through, but no one answered it for a long time.
After a while, the phone was automatically hung up because no one answered.
Wei Xing thought to himself, and called his mother, but it was directly informed that the phone was turned off.
His heart sank, and he looked at He and asked again.
"Continue to hit Liu Mei." He Wenzhi said.
"Okay." Wei Xing nodded and continued to dial.
I just called three times in a row, but still no one answered.
Finally, on the fifth day, the call was finally connected.
"Hello?" A young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding timid and trembling at the same time.
It was as if she had just cried, and she seemed very nervous.
Hearing this voice, Wei Xing was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Hi, I'm the boss of Liu Mei's workplace, may I ask if you are...?"
"I, I'm her... daughter..." The other end of the phone said timidly, with a slight sob in her voice, as if she was holding back.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Wei Xing felt that there was something wrong with the girl's voice, and at the same time, he felt a little weird: "You didn't go to high school, so you live on campus?"
"This weekend, my dad was sick, so I came back..."
"Then is your mother at home? Is it convenient for her to answer the phone?"
"I, I...wow!" The other end of the phone couldn't bear it any longer, cried out loudly, and said at the same time: "My mother... my mother... she has money in her hand and is always laughing... she The appearance is so scary... It seems like he has been possessed by an evil spirit... and my father is also..."
"What kind of money are they holding?" He Wenzhi asked hurriedly.
"Yes, yes... dead money..."
The girl sobbed and spoke in a weak voice.
"It's the kind...the kind of money with Tiandi Bank printed on it..."
It has been written until now, and there is only this chapter today, and the follow-up plot needs to be sorted out.
It was agreed yesterday that I will give you more and more today, but I have only written 6630 words so far, and I owe you more than 3,000 words. I will make up for you next time!
