Chapter 1159 Antique Shop
This situation gives me an ominous premonition. It may also happen that if I encounter ghosts too many times, I will always think about the bad.
The taxi driver said that the old store is outside the shop and the bedroom inside. Is it because the door is not locked and Is it because a member of the family keeping the door back?
I can't rule out this possibility, so I'd better knock on the door. So I pressed my middle finger and knocked on the rolling gate a few times. The knock on the door seemed very clear on the quiet street.
After knocking, we waited for five or six minutes, but no one answered. I felt in my heart that the premonition just now was correct, and something might really happen inside. I bent down and pulled up the rolling gate. There were two old-fashioned wooden doors carved with window flowers. At this moment, it was covered with vague lights. The lights outside shone through the gaps, casting a faint and sharp light on the ground, like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, which made people feel heart-pounding.
I reached out and gently pushed open the two doors, making a "creak" sound that made my scalp numb.
The light poured from outside can only shine on the counter, and most of the area inside the house is still in darkness. The counter is lined with exquisite jade artifacts, which look very old under the cover of this dim light. It feels like a tomb, and these jade artifacts are burial objects, and we are tomb robbers.
"Is anyone?" I stood at the door and shouted loudly.
The screams echoed in the room, and no one answered for a long time. Shen Bing turned on the flashlight and looked deep in the room. The shop was not big, about 17 or 18 square meters. Behind the counter was a shelf, filled with gold, silver and jade, most of which were jade. Under the window outside the counter, there was an ancient black round table with rattan chairs on both sides. A purple clay teapot and a few exquisite small tea bowls were placed on the table.
There was nothing to be curious about, but there were two tea bowls placed on both sides of the table, filled with tea and a hint of heat, which attracted people's imagination.
The steaming tea means that someone just sat here to drink tea and should not leave for more than a few minutes. Although the temperature here is not very cold in winter, it is not warm. If there is no stove to keep warm in the room, the temperature may be about ten degrees. The heat of the tea will be consumed soon and there will be no heat.
Shen Bing followed my eyes and whispered: "There were people drinking tea just now. Could it be that they saw us coming and deliberately hid, right?"
I touched my nose and didn't answer, thinking that we didn't know each other and the antique shop owners, and we don't know the purpose of our visit, so why should we hide? Besides, what does it mean to leave a door?
Thinking of this, when he was Nunuujiu towards the shelf, Shen Bing adjusted the flashlight over. There was a door on the east side of the shelf leading into the inside, and the door of the house was also hidden.
I walked over and lifted a moving board at the east end of the counter and walked in. When I was about to reach the opposite door, I heard a "ah" sound inside, as if it was a sound of opening the door or opening the window. There was someone inside, so I stopped and shouted again: "Is anyone?"
After two or three minutes, there was no movement. I couldn't hold back. I stepped in and pushed open the door. Shen Bing followed me and the flashlight shone in. It was not the yard, but the bedroom directly connected to the store. Perhaps for safety reasons, even the bed was placed behind the wall of the shelf.
But there was no trace of people in the bedroom, and the bed was empty. However, judging from the scattered bedding, someone was still sleeping here just now. In addition to the bed, there was an old color TV on a table opposite the bed and a sofa.
The sofa towel was dragged on the ground in a mess, the coffee table was also crooked, and there was a slipper in the center of the house. It depends on the cleanliness and decorations in the house. The owner did not look like a sloppy person. This kind of messy appearance seemed to have been destroyed by humans. Suddenly, I saw a trace of blood on the corner of the table, my heart pounded, and I rushed over in a hurry.
This table is also old-fashioned, with a cabinet below. There is a blood mark on the corner on the left. I squatted down and dipped it in front of me, and I took it in front of me. It was fresh blood!
Shen Bing gently pushed my shoulder. I turned around and saw that there was a window on the left, which was open outside. There were no doors and windows in other places. This reminded me of the sound I heard outside just now. After someone committed an assault here, he just pushed the window and ran away. But then I thought it was wrong, why didn’t the corpse be seen? The murderer heard someone coming outside, it was impossible for him to run away with the corpse, right?
I stood up from the ground, waved to Shen Bing, and we came to the window together. There were footprints on the window sill, but there was no blood. Outside was a dark alley. Shen Bing shook it with the flashlight and saw no one.
"Do we want to chase after me?" Shen Bing asked me for my opinion.
I shook my head. Whether the escaped murderer or the boss or whether the case was done, it had nothing to do with us. That was the matter that the police should take care of. Why should we take the rat? I turned around and walked out. If the boss was not here, it would be better for us to go out. After taking two steps, I suddenly heard two "ticacas" sounds coming from the direction of the table.
Shen Bing's body trembled, grabbed my arm with both hands, but the flashlight shone on the table.
I quickly turned my head and saw that the cabinet door was trembling slightly, and there seemed to be a living thing hidden inside. Shen Bing and I winked, and we rushed to the front, stretched out our hands to open the cabinet door.
With a "gudong", a black shadow rolled out from inside.
Shen Bing was afraid that he would be a thief and pressed the guy up, bent his right leg and knelt on the man, crossed his arms and twisted it. No matter how capable you are, you can't move.
"Ho ho..."
The man made a muffled scream from his throat face down, and a piece of blood overflowed from under his face. I thought it was wrong. This was not like a thief. He quickly pushed Shen Bing away and flipped the man upward. He couldn't help but feel creepy and almost fell down when he saw it.
The man's face was covered with blood, his eyes were poached, leaving two bloody holes. His mouth was opened, and the flashlight shone in, and he found that his tongue had also been cut. He was the second uncle, who was so cruel to attack this man? Seeing that the man's hair was all white, he was an old man, with only one slipper on his feet, and wearing a pajamas, he looked like the owner of the shop.
I couldn't help but wonder why this murderer wanted to harm the old man? He said he had a grudge, so he would just kill him, so why leave half his life? If it was a robbery, the antiques on the counters and shelves outside were neatly arranged and there were no traces of touching them, the murderer's purpose would be particularly strange.
The old man grabbed my hand tightly, suddenly opened his mouth and bit my hand. The grass was thinking about things, but unexpectedly caught him off, and forced the old man to bite off a piece of meat, revealing all the bones.
I hurriedly opened his hand, and at this time I found a ferocious smile on the old man's face, as if he had a sense of pleasure after revenge. I was stunned. The old man regarded me as the murderer, and he was so fucking unlucky.
"Ho ho..." The old man opened his mouth and let out a few muffled screams, and his head tilted and his anger died.
At the same time, I felt the wound on the back of my hand was numb and itchy, and then my eyes became dark and I didn't know anything.
