A large gold chain appeared inexplicably around Lao Chen's neck. Normally, he would have thought that the God of Wealth had appeared.

However, we cannot be happy at all when faced with a sudden windfall.

Because the gold chain in his hand looked almost identical to Mr. He's amulet.

The only difference is that there is no most important oval-shaped translucent pendant on it.

I asked Lao Chen to put down the gold chain first and sit down to calm down. He listened to me and put the thing on the table.

Now I seem to know...

In the video on my cell phone, I saw some golden light in Lao Chen’s hand, and it must be this thing.

However, no one can prove whether this is part of Mr. He's amulet, because the owners of the amulet are also dead.

I looked down at the gold chain again and thought for a moment before asking Lao Chen: "If this thing is Mr. He's amulet, why is only the pendant missing?!"

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything. My head is covered right now," Lao Chen shook his head and looked at me, "Xiao Ma, just tell me, what should I do?"

I thought about it again and asked Lao Chen: "If it is Mr. He's relic, should we hand it over to the police?"

"It's okay to hand it over to the police, but if they ask me where I found this thing, how should I explain it?"

When Lao Chen asked me this question, I couldn't answer it.

Lao Chen continued: "What if the police think that I stole the necklace back, and there is a pendant missing from it. They ask me for the pendant. Where can I get it for them?!"

yes!

What Lao Chen said is correct. It's really hard to explain this. You can't tell the police. It was Mr. He's ghost who gave it to Lao Chen when he was sleepwalking, right?

Although this may be the truth, can Luo Feng believe it?!

Next…

Lao Chen and I discussed over and over how to dispose of this gold chain. My opinion was to hand it over to Officer Luo, but Lao Chen was afraid that he would be implicated in two death cases and be suspected by the police?

Therefore, according to Lao Chen's timid character, he did not want to make it known that the gold chain was in his hand.

After listening to it, I felt that what Lao Chen said was not unreasonable.

He said that the police wanted to find Mr. He's amulet, thinking that it might be the key to solving the case, but now, we only have a gold chain in our hands.

The focus of the amulet must be on the oval object, and the gold chain is just a rope.

Even if the gold chain is handed over now, the police may not be able to find any clues.

The most terrible thing is, what should we do if the police asks us for the pendant, because we can't get that thing out at all!

Lao Chen is a little older than me, and he does think about things more thoughtfully.

After listening to what Lao Chen said, I think he is right. We can hand the gold chain to the police, but the police will definitely suspect that the pendant is still hidden in our hands. How can we explain this?

Moreover, the black-faced Luo Feng is not easy to mess with at first sight, so why bother to take the initiative to mess with him again?

Lao Chen saw that I was hesitating. He seemed to feel that his persuasion was about to succeed, so he suggested that he should lock the gold chain in the safe of the store for the time being, and then take it out and hand it over to the police when the time comes.

Not too late.

I had no choice but to nod in agreement.

He also suggested that Lao Chen find a strong plastic bag to wrap the gold chain.

Then, under my watch, Lao Chen wrapped the thing in a plastic bag, put it in an envelope, and locked it at the bottom of the safe.

The gold chain has been dealt with for the time being, but the matter is obviously not over yet. Lao Chen sat on the chair with his head lowered and thinking about something. I looked at him at a loss...

At this time, I heard that someone in the store had already come to work.

In the work area outside, several real estate salespeople were chatting while eating breakfast.

The topics they talked about were all trivial issues. For a moment, I felt a little envious of these carefree office workers.

I didn't want to stay here and waste time with Old Chen. I was about to go back, so I lowered my voice and said, "Old Chen, why don't I leave first? Don't think too much..."

Hearing my question, Lao Chen raised his face and looked at me with a very strange look: "Xiao Ma, otherwise... I'll find a master to exorcise evil spirits for me. Do you think this will work?!"

"Uh, um," I chatted casually without comment, and stood up from the chair, "You have to be busy with work here, so I won't disturb you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, sir.

Chen, take care of yourself!"

After saying that, I left the office, rushed out of the store, and ran away.

…

I still took the bus back to the old community where I rented a house. When I passed the Ermiao canteen, I was going to buy two packs of instant noodles and take them upstairs.

Ermeow was still playing games with his head down. When he heard my voice, he smiled and asked me, "Brother, you look much better these past two days..."

"Hmm," I responded impatiently, "Bring me two five-packs. This time I want one with braised beef and one with pickled cabbage. Hurry up!"

Ermiao handed me the instant noodles, and then nagged: "Seeing that you look better, tell me, did the pinch of your fingers by my dad work? Otherwise, how much do you mean, don't you think it's too much?"

Neither too much nor too little is too little...hehehehehe..."

Seeing Er Miao rubbing her fingers and smiling at me, I quickly took out my mobile phone and transferred the money for instant noodles to Er Miao. I ignored Er Miao and left without looking back.

Ermiao was still shouting from behind: "Hey, brother, if you encounter any unsolvable problems in the future, don't forget to tell me!"

When I returned to the rental house on the third floor, I turned on the computer and checked my email.

Sadly, there are still no jobs available to design covers or illustrations.

well……

It seems that for next month’s living expenses, we can only rely on Lao Chen’s 8,000 yuan dividend!

I boiled a pot of hot water, tore open two packages of instant noodles, put them in a bowl, and poured hot water over them.

While I'm waiting for the noodles to soften...

Unknowingly, my mind recalled how Luo Feng came to find me last night...

Luo Feng showed me two photos of corpses. Originally, I wanted to tell Lao Chen about this.

However, another gold chain appeared on Lao Chen's body. Such a strange thing was enough to make him drink a pot, so I didn't bring it up to avoid irritating him again.

Thinking about it...

Somehow I thought of the faces of the two corpses, especially the weird smile with the corners of the mouth turned up!!!

Because I remembered a horror novel I once read when I was bored when I was studying in college.

It was a supernatural novel about tomb robbers. The book said that when tomb robbers open coffins, they are not afraid of encountering zombies. What they are most afraid of is encountering corpses with smiling lips.

It is said that although this kind of corpse will not jump up and hurt people immediately like zombies, it will haunt the first person who opens the coffin until it tortures that person to death.

It's considered a substitute, but actually he is a scapegoat.

Therefore, in the tomb robbing industry, corpses with smiling faces are called "smiling corpses"!

Just hearing this name is scary enough!!!

Just when I was thinking wildly in my mind and getting more and more scared, my phone suddenly rang!

I was shocked!
