Chapter 741 Lively Harbor
The pickled eggs in the ashes are not eggs or duck eggs, but monster eggs, and human-eating monsters. You can't think about this matter carefully. The owner of the house felt disgusting, which was a normal reaction. He told the police that it was his wife's idea to buy a haunted villa. They had other choices at that time. He once thought the villa was old, but his wife liked this style of house and tried his best to persuade him to choose this villa.
He did not believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods, and loved planting flowers. He liked the gardens around the house very much. With his wife's persuasion, he bought them without much hesitation.
He carefully planted flowers all over the garden, but a few days later, his daughter first said that there were always strange noises in the room and insisted on moving to the school dormitory. The couple just thought it was their daughter who made excuses to leave the house and wanted more freedom.
Later, their youngest son often complained about the noise of children in the house. The couple had never heard any strange sounds, and the youngest son did not record anything. They also wanted to take their youngest son to see a doctor. The youngest son made a big fuss and said that he was not sick, so the couple had a very quarrel with their youngest son.
Three years later, his youngest son went to another place to go to college and left the house. His wife died of sudden illness.
He still didn't believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods. After all, he had never heard of it, and had seen any abnormal situations, nor did his wife. Moreover, he firmly believed that his wife's death had nothing to do with ghosts, but it was just a sudden heart attack. His wife's heart was not good since childhood.
He left the villa just because he didn't want to stay in a sad place and the children were not around. After graduation, all his children stayed in other cities to work. He opened the villa and handed it over to the administrator to take care of him. He moved abroad to be neighbors with his two sisters.
The administrator once mentioned to him several times that the child who broke into the villa encountered a supernatural incident, but he didn't care. He thought it was the "playful" of the young people and deliberately fabricated horror stories to attract attention.
The police called the homeowner's two children separately. The matter was as the homeowner said. Only they could hear the strange sounds in the house, and the homeowner and his wife heard nothing.
Moreover, neither of them believed that the ghosts and gods said that they wanted to take their son to see a doctor.
The eldest daughter felt that she could not communicate with her parents and chose to avoid her. The younger son also thought that her parents did not believe him and wanted to take him to see a doctor. In the end, she would only be sent to a mental hospital. So he chose to walk the same "way" as his sister and stay away from this home. Since then, he never mentioned the strange noises in the house.
They were not surprised to learn that someone had died in the house and thought it would be a matter of time sooner or later. They had strongly opposed their father's opening of the house to visit, but the owner refused to listen. They had a big fight over this and the cold war lasted for half a year.
The owner hoped that more people could come to appreciate his garden. It was ridiculous to close the villa for illusory things like ghosts. However, he also knew what the locals were concerned about, so he took a step back and shortened the visit time, setting the time to open at 10 am and close at 3 pm.
Because villas and gardens need maintenance time, and these tasks can only be completed in a period of time when there are no tourists, local workers are unwilling to stay in the haunted house before dawn or after dark. If the opening hours are not adjusted, no workers will come to work.
In the end, this case can only be concluded by suicide. Although I am a big suspect, I was not in the hall when a man and a woman hung on the stairs. The surveillance camera in the yard captured me carrying the administrator into the police car at that time, and then said a few words to the police. When I returned to the hall, I was already dead.
The two corpses in the attic showed no sign of being pushed down the stairs, and the corpses were even less likely to be chewed by me. I was a witness to the whole incident and there was no suspicion of murder.
As for what I say about alien monsters attacking people, it is because I have never seen a creature like Hat Chicken. For things beyond my cognition, it can only be defined by imagination.
I went back to the wooden house to rest after leaving the police station. After the police investigation, I couldn't hide it. The wooden house hotel suddenly changed ownership. Not only did the police find it strange, but the administrator was also very curious.
The administrator said that he knew the hotel owner. According to his description, the hotel owner was an old lady with a strange temper and mysterious temper. The administrator's father and the old lady's father were colleagues and logged wood together in the mountains. The administrator said that the old man in that family was extremely difficult to get along with, and he had a very furious temper and was withdrawn.
The old lady was quite normal when she was young. Since she retired and moved into the wooden house, her temper has become exactly the same as her father.
No one of the local old households in the harbor would like to interact with her family, and those who would stay in wooden houses and hotels were all foreign tourists.
The hotel owner has a pension, and the hotel business is just a side job. Because it is not based on this, the hotel owner has a bad attitude towards customers. Some customers have complained that the hotel owner has a poor service attitude.
The administrator pulled me to chat. At this time, we had left the police station. He knew that I had bought a wooden house and came to chat with me after get off work.
The smell in the house was lit up, and the body and other things were taken away by the transportation team. Now this is a normal house, so I don’t have to worry about anyone coming in to visit.
The administrator asked me if I planned to redecorate it. He knew some professional workers and could recommend it to me and get discounts.
I thanked him and said no, I have time anyway, I can do it myself.
I put away all the personal belongings of the hotel owner and burned them all, including photos of the living room, her clothes, etc.
The decoration team in the clan learned that I had bought a house overseas and planned to come and decorate it for me. They had to make the furniture themselves, so I actually didn't have to work. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the Queen's welfare?
The administrator told me a lot of local matters and asked me about it.
I asked me if I would settle here, and I also asked me what job I did. I said I was not sure, and I might not live there for a long time if I bought a wooden house, so I only came here occasionally for a vacation.
I told him that I am an editor and the editor of the magazine. This time, I went to the garden villa to find inspiration and collect materials because I wanted to do the theme of haunted houses.
The so-called "background" is just that I have a few big friends, so it's okay to ask them to do a little favor.
Six people died overnight in the garden villa, but they were still hung. This matter could not be hidden at all, and the Harbour City immediately became famous.
Four people were hanged on the stairs, and were rumored to be hanged on the stairs. The way of dying was exactly the same as the original owner of the villa family. Such a "plot" of catching a horse was enough for tabloid reporters to take advantage of the popularity of a month.
The deaths of six people were infinitely magnified, and some TV stations even came to interview. The owner temporarily closed the garden villa, and the administrator hired two more people to watch with him to prevent anyone from breaking in private.
In the past, no one was guarding at night, but now people were arranged to guard outside the yard at night, just to prevent someone from climbing over the wall.
Whether it is locals or tourists, the timids dare not approach the villa, while those who are brave and gravitate to find ways to get in.
With good believers gathering, the hotel in the harbor is not enough. Some old customers who have stayed in the wooden house hotel before came here to stay. They did not make an appointment online and did not know that the hotel was closed.
I am sorry, this place is no longer a hotel and I cannot operate it illegally.
I didn't move the things in the room upstairs. As long as I was not a person who was too particular, I could live there. As long as I didn't charge money, it was not illegal business, but just a kind-hearted intention to let people stay. But I seemed to be not ordinary tourists, so I was inevitably asked about it. I thought it was troublesome and refused to leave the person outside the door.
When Chen Qinghan came, he brought two people back. To be precise, it was not him who brought them, but those two people followed him.
They were worried that there was nowhere to stay. They heard that there was a wooden house in the mountains. The person who told them that this matter must have never read the obituary in the newspaper. They saw Chen Qinghan's car halfway through, and they were driving towards the forest, so they waved to stop the car and wanted to take his car.
When Chen Qinghan heard that they were coming to the wooden house, he told them that it was no longer open and that it was useless if they came. It would be better to turn around and find a place to live in the city as soon as possible.
They asked Chen Qinghan where he was going and whether he was going to come to the wooden house. Chen Qinghan said that the new owner was his wife, and he did want to come to the wooden house, but he was not staying in the room, but was here to take a vacation with his wife.
So... the two girls followed him and asked me to lend me a room for them to live in. They were poor students, and all the hotels in the city had increased their prices, leaving only the outrageously high-priced "high-end suites". They couldn't afford to live in even if they had available rooms.
There are also residents in the city who are willing to rent out their rooms. They have visited several of them, but they really can't live there. Either they have too many children and make trouble, or the landlords look like addicts. Their two girls are away, and their personal safety is always the most important.
I heard them make sense. Young girls should protect themselves when they go out, but why should they decide I am safe?
Hearing my question, the two girls blinked their big eyes and replied: "The villa administrator said you are safe."
OK, it turned out to be him!
From this we can see that they have been to the garden villa. If it weren't for the heavy rain and the two girls were dressed thinly, I wouldn't have taken them in.
The rain came very coincidental. It would be a bit unkind to drive people out after a heavy rain. They came on foot and let them walk back to the city, and they would have to get sick.
At present, the temperature is quite high during the day, but it is quite cold in the evening, and the rain is also cold.
I took them in to live upstairs, the room where Lily and Lilith lived, and there were changing sheets and pillowcases in the hotel owner's cabinet, so I took them out and let them change them themselves.
The rooms upstairs have not been cleaned since I took over this place. I don’t need to sleep and sit on the sofa in the living room to play with my phone all day.
The hot bath water needs to be boiled freshly. There are coffee and tea bags in the cabinet. I tell them the location of the items. If necessary, they can serve themselves.
Chen Qinghan didn't care why I suddenly bought a house. He only cared about whether I was safe. If someone was in this house, it was not convenient for me to communicate with him verbally, so he used his mobile phone to type and chat with him.
After taking a shower, the two girls went to the kitchen to make coffee by themselves, and borrowed a bread machine to heat two slices of bread. The coffee and bread slices were brought by them.
They said they were poor students, and I think it should be the truth. They looked young and brought their own food and drinks, and their backpacks and sneakers were a bit old. I wanted to sell them the canned fruits stored by the hotel owner, but they didn't buy them, so I had to let Chen Qinghan eat them.
Before Chen Qinghan was on holiday, he took two days off to come here early. I told him several times that I was fine. He was always leisurely here, but he was just worried.
He said he had to see me to be truly at ease. When he saw me well, his spirit immediately relaxed and he slept in the single room I had lived in.
I can make the strengthened "people" who inherited my bloodline so tired. You can imagine how busy he is recently. I didn't ask about their mysterious mission, but I felt that he had entered a black coal mine and had to go down the well to dig coal in person.
He was worried that I was in danger here, so he would definitely work overtime to get back two days in advance.
Alas... I rescued Yu Xiu. If I meet the monsters in a narrow road, they will be the one who is unlucky!
It rained all night, and the next morning, Chen Qinghan got up earlier than the two girls. We discussed going to Landao. I mean he wanted to rest for two more days and just in time to watch the fun in the harbor.
The harbour is rare so lively. Even if there were tourists in the past, it would be sparse and would not have much impact on this small town.
Now there are people everywhere in the city, and there are many self-media adventurers, some fighting alone, and some in groups of three or five. They gather in the city, planning to explore the haunted villa.
The police have characterized the death of six people as suicide. As for how to investigate from another perspective, there is no accurate letter yet.
This matter must be handed over to departments like our unit for handling. However, Canada did not ask China for help in the follow-up investigation, so we didn't need to take action.
The garden villa has become another characteristic tourist "attraction". Many people do not believe that six people will commit suicide at the same time, especially the families of the six deceased, as well as their friends and classmates.
It turned out that the six people were still in school and were junior students from a university in another city. They came here to play during holidays.
It was originally expected to play for three days, but something happened on the first night. The parents of six people were unable to accept the claim that their children committed suicide collectively and asked the police to continue investigating.
They also organized some people to protest at the police station gate. The slogan they shouted was "Return me the truth". This was photographed by reporters and was put on the news.
As the only witness of this case, my name was hidden by the head through his relationship and only used a pseudonym. I am not worried about the police, because their mouths are at least stricter than those of the administrator.
But a few days passed and the administrator didn't seem to tell anyone about me as a witness, which surprised me a little.
The administrator's face often appears in the news, newspapers, and in some self-media interview videos.
The official information released to the public was that there were no witnesses, the administrator was the first to find the body, and only the police file recorded my existence.
Therefore, the administrator became a harbor celebrity, and those who were interested in the collective suicide of six people went to interview him.
Chapter completed!
