Chapter 178
Just when I was thinking about how two people could fall asleep at the same time, Manager Wang suddenly shouted: "That's right..."
Lao Chen and I were shocked at the same time!
Manager Wang patted his thigh and continued: "I just suddenly remembered another detail...a detail from last night...I don't know if it is useful..."
"What details?!" I asked.
"Lao Wang, don't be so surprised. Can you sit down and talk slowly?" Lao Chen pointed to the chair.
"Okay, okay..."
Manager Wang sat down again and told us that when he was getting ready to go to bed last night, he seemed to hear someone knocking on the door, that is, there was a knocking sound.
It's not that you knock all the time, but just a few times, and then there's no sound?
Manager Wang was nervous at that time!
Because this is Lao Chen's house after all. Although Lao Chen and Shufen have divorced, he still feels guilty for being a thief.
So, he opened the door and took a look, but there was no one outside, so Manager Wang had to close the door again.
When he walked back to the sofa in the living room and was about to take another look at his phone before taking a rest, he saw Shufen walking out of the bedroom like a sleepwalker and heading to the kitchen...
The strange thing that happened next, Manager Wang, just said, he didn’t know if he was hallucinating or dreaming?
Knock on the door?!
I immediately noticed that this seemed to be a very important detail!!!
Unfortunately, I am not Luo Feng, and I have no formal training in solving crimes.
Ahem, most of the time, I can only refer to some methods in Conan cartoons...
Old Chen asked in detail for a long time, who was knocking on the door outside? Why was he knocking on the door?
Manager Wang said he didn't see it and didn't know why he knocked on the door. Maybe he just knocked on the wrong door?
Knocked on the wrong door?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Anyway, I don’t believe it!
Originally, Lao Chen and I just wanted to find out who sent the text message in the early morning. Unexpectedly, we found out about the secret relationship between store manager Wang and Lao Chen’s ex-wife. What’s even more unreliable is that both of them said that the other party had an affair.
Weird, eating raw meat in the middle of the night, I don’t know if it’s a dream or if it really happened?
Neither Store Manager Wang nor Shufen admitted who was lying.
Until now, Lao Chen and I's investigation seems to have reached a dead end...
But after all, Lao Chen was more experienced than me and thought about the problem more comprehensively. He raised his head and suddenly asked Store Manager Wang: "Since you all said you didn't send text messages, well, you should know who the landlord of the small western-style building is, right?"
"
When asked by Lao Chen, Store Manager Wang's face became tense, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to reveal the customer's information.
"Old Wang, don't worry about me snatching your place. I'm not interested in that small western-style building." Then Old Chen changed the topic and looked into Manager Wang's eyes and said, "You and Shufen both said you didn't know.
No, this text message is from your mobile phone
I have taken photos to prove it. Now I can tell you clearly that there is a problem with that small building. There is a big problem. Don't worry about the commission for selling the house, because that small building is not for sale at all.
Don’t go out…”
"Old Chen, what do you mean when you say there is a problem with that small building?!" Manager Wang asked with some confusion.
"It's not clean, it's very unclean. Do you understand what I mean?" Lao Chen poked the table with his finger, "It's not that it's a sinister house, but it's really sinister, so no one can live in that house.
If you want to sell it if you want to sell it, you must first clean it up before you can live in it. Therefore, your landlord is not looking for a test sleeper to try sleeping, but is looking for a scapegoat. As long as he dies in that small building
Only with one person can the house be peaceful in the future... Do you... do you understand what I mean?!"
"ah……"
Manager Wang screamed in surprise!
Obviously, he doesn't seem to understand that there is something fishy about this small building?
This is not surprising. In fact, if I had not gone there to try to sleep, I would not have known about the strangeness of the small building.
Moreover, Manager Wang's previous business scope was the sale and purchase of ordinary second-hand houses. This is the first time he has dealt with a haunted house, and it is also a haunted building.
Compared to Lao Chen's rich experience in buying and selling haunted houses, Manager Wang can only be said to be a rookie.
In fact, it was the owner of the Xiaoyanglou who proactively approached Store Manager Wang, who was also kept in the dark.
For example, he had no idea that one person had to die in the small building to clean it up, or find a substitute.
If you want to say something that is harmful to nature and justice, even a common man like Store Manager Wang would not dare to do it, nor would he have the guts to do it!
At this time, I gave Lao Chen a thumbs up, because Lao Chen finally got the idea!
so……
The person who wants to harm me is not necessarily the person who sent the text message. The most likely person is the homeowner!!!
Manager Wang finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and he apologized even more to Lao Chen and me.
"Let's see, I won't sell that small western-style building, and I won't want this house either. Can you forgive me?" Manager Wang cried to us.
"Then you can make up for your mistake and tell us who the landlord is, and we will go directly to him..." Lao Chen asked in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Actually, I don't know if he is the homeowner. He just provided a house, and he didn't provide his ID card. I don't know his real name. When filling out the form, he just wrote a very strange
name..."
"What's the name?!" Lao Chen and I asked together.
Manager Wang said word by word: "Ai... De... Hua..."
When Lao Chen and I heard the name "Edward", we almost took a breath together!
Especially me, I feel like the hairs on the back of my neck are getting brittle!!!
Edward, isn't this man dead?!
Luo Feng found his body in the suburbs, and I went with Luo Feng to see Mrs. Sato. Maybe the case on Luo Feng's side has been closed?
When I suddenly heard this name, I felt very scared!!!
I gritted my teeth and calmed down, then asked Store Manager Wang: "Wait a minute, tell me, have you seen the Edward you are talking about in person?"
"I've seen him before. He came to my store once, and it was this store..." Store Manager Wang explained.
"When exactly did you meet him?!" I continued to ask.
"Three days ago, what happened?" Perhaps store manager Wang noticed that the eyes between me and Lao Chen suddenly became strange, so he asked again, "You also know this person, right?!"
If they had met earlier, maybe it was the Edward I knew.
However, he could not have appeared three days ago because he was already dead.
Old Chen and I looked at each other, and Old Chen smiled and said, "Xiao Ma, the name Edward seems to be random at first glance. He just doesn't want to reveal his real name. Foreign names are very random. In fact,
There are just a few foreigners, aren’t they all called Tom, Jerry, etc. It’s not surprising that they have the same name..."
Lao Chen is right. Foreigners have a serious problem with having the same name. Maybe it's just accidental. I'm overthinking it.
At this time, Lao Chen took a deep breath and said to Store Manager Wang: "Lao Wang, I will not pursue you for seducing my ex-wife, nor will I pursue you for framing my sleep tester, but you must now
If you want to make an appointment with Edward, the landlord, I’ll make an appointment to come to your store. We want to meet him..."
Manager Wang was reluctant to Lao Chen's request, but he had no choice now, so he could only hesitate to say that he could call to make an appointment, but he couldn't guarantee whether the other party would come.
Lao Chen asked Store Manager Wang not to call yet, because we'd better come up with a foolproof explanation, one that the landlord would have no reason to refuse upon hearing it.
Only then, he had to come to the store to meet with Manager Wang.
This idea is very good!
