Chapter 6 Dark Coins
"I can see that you have little to do with Jasmine's death," the male police officer smiled before continuing, "but I can also see that you must be hiding something. Haha, you should know that citizens need to cooperate
It is your duty as a citizen for the police to solve the case..."
Obviously, these two policemen were difficult to deal with, especially the male detective with small eyes.
I was forced to tell what happened yesterday...
I told them that the reason why I went to a house in that community with Jasmine was not to buy a house or rent a house, but to try to sleep...
Try sleeping?!
What do you mean?!
The two policemen looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, as if they didn't quite understand?
I know that most people cannot understand the profession of a haunted house sleep tester, or have even heard of it, so I had to explain it patiently.
As a result, it was inevitable that I betrayed Lao Chen.
I didn't hide anything or lie at all. I told the truth. After listening to my explanation, the two detectives probably believed it.
After all, they were professionals and could easily tell if I, a young man in my twenties, was lying.
After learning from me what they didn't know, I could see that they were quite interested in reselling the haunted house. I'm afraid that after leaving my house, they would definitely go to Lao Chen to ask about the situation. I didn't know what Lao Chen would do.
Wouldn't he be suspended from the company for reselling a haunted house?
Maybe I felt a little unbearable, so when I sent the two of them out of the door, I said something more: "Two police officers, I don't think store manager Chen has anything to do with Jasmine. He has no motive to kill Jasmine..."
The female police officer looked back at me and replied coldly: "Do you think it's useful?"
"Don't worry about how the police handle the case!" the male police officer said, and hurriedly walked down the stairs with the female police officer.
After closing the door, I leaned my back against the door and let out a long breath.
Fortunately, the police didn't know about Jasmine sending me a WeChat message in the middle of the night. If they asked about it, I wouldn't know how to explain it.
I took out my phone and checked the time. It was already past 3 pm.
I remembered that I had forgotten to eat all day long. Even though I don't feel hungry at all, I still want to cook myself a pack of instant noodles.
But when I went to the kitchen, I saw that the place for instant noodles was already empty.
I took out the envelope that Lao Chen gave me in the morning, took out a banknote from it, and prepared to go downstairs to buy some food from the canteen at the corner of the street.
When I walked out of the building, the rain outside had stopped.
There is a small shop at the street corner about a hundred meters away from the building gate. The person looking after the shop is a young man, who is sitting behind the counter playing games with his head down.
He is about the same age as me and his nickname is "Er Meow". I always come to this store to buy food and I am quite familiar with him.
"Er meow, bring me two five-packs, I want the braised beef flavor!" I knocked on the counter twice and said.
Ermiao didn't look up, and kept staring at the phone to prevaricate me and said: "Wait two minutes, just two minutes, I will win immediately!"
I put my hands in my pockets and waited for a long time. I became completely impatient and yelled at Ermiao: "Hey, are you still doing business?"
Ermiao seemed to have lost. He threw his phone on the counter, looked up at me, and said angrily: "What are you making a fuss about? It's just instant noodles. Why don't you just grab two packs and be done with it..."
but……
Ermiao only said half a sentence when his eyes looked at my face and suddenly froze!
"What...what happened?!"
"Brother, are you possessed by evil spirits?" Ermiao pointed at my face and said.
When I heard Er Miao say this, I felt a chill on the back of my neck!
I quickly shouted back: "Are you possessed by evil spirits?"
"Brother, I'm not kidding. You look very bad, and your lower eyelids are black. If you don't believe me, just look in the mirror and see for yourself..."
After Ermiao said this, I subconsciously raised my hand and touched my face, thinking to myself, I really haven't slept well in the past two days, and it's normal to have a bad complexion and dark circles under my eyes.
So I urged Er Miao: "Stop talking nonsense, bring me two packs of instant noodles and give you money..."
Ermiao took the money from my hand and looked down...
This guy actually screamed "ouch!"
He was very loud and I was very close to him, so I was really shocked!
Before I could scold him, Ermiao stared at me with a pair of frightened eyes and said: "Brother, you still said that you are not possessed by evil spirits, look what kind of money you gave me?!"
One sentence confused me?
I saw Ermiao throw the money I just handed him on the counter again, as if the note could bite?
When I looked down, my heart skipped a beat!
Although the note was exactly the same color and size as the hundred-dollar bill, the portrait on it was wearing a strange hat.
That hat should be called "Crown Crown", it is a hat that only King Yama would wear!
In other words, this is not RMB, but a ghost coin!!!
If I were not very familiar with Ermiao and knew that he would not lie to me, I would definitely think that he had secretly transferred my money.
Because I still clearly remember that the money I took out of the envelope before going downstairs was clearly a hundred-dollar bill!
Seeing that I was dazed, Ermiao asked me nervously: "Are you...are you okay?!"
I didn't say anything, didn't want any instant noodles, turned around and ran towards the rental house.
I ran up to the third floor, went into the house, took out the envelope that Lao Chen gave me from the drawer, and poured out all the money in it...
When I saw it like this, I broke out in a cold sweat!
Because the 1,440 yuan in the envelope, at this moment, has all turned into ghost coins!!!
Just when my whole body was cold and my mind was blank, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door...
"Who?!" I yelled.
I hurriedly turned around to look, and it turned out that the person standing at the door was Ermiao. Seeing me running away in a panic, he felt puzzled, so he followed me all the way upstairs.
Er Meow saw a large handful of Hell Coins in my hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked: "Brother, who gave you these Hell Coins?!"
"None of your business!"
"Just tell me, maybe I can think of a way for you..."
"Don't bother me, go away quickly..."
I wasn't in the mood to listen to what Ermiao had to say, so I just pushed him out of the room and slammed the door.
At this time, I just want to be quiet!
I lowered my head and glanced at the Ming coins in my hand again, thinking, could it be that Old Chen is trying to trick me?
However, when Lao Chen gave me the money, I counted it carefully. It was a normal coin at that time, right?
Why did my good money change when I got home?!
My head was full of questions, so I had to take out my mobile phone and call Lao Chen.
As a result, the call got through, but Lao Chen didn't answer my call and hung up.
I was anxious and called him again, but he hung up again. After I called for the fourth time, a notification tone came from my phone: The number you dialed has been turned off!
