The words of the old security guard shocked everyone present. There were gasps for a while, but no one dared to speak anymore. Everyone who worked in the Ren family knew that nothing had been stolen from the Ren family in so many years.

These things are very valuable, and stealing even a small one would be a serious crime.

I breathed out slowly. Fortunately, I made the right bet this time. Baoye was betting on the old security guard's fear of painful limbs, but it seemed that he didn't have enough time to bet, and the old security guard didn't mean to say anything. I

The bet is on the old security guard's fear of the ghosts of the old man and Uncle Wu.

The reason why the old security guard comes to steal the writing brush is because he has heard or even seen some special phenomena of Wu Guang. He is mentally convinced that these exist. What I say may not be useful to those young security guards.

But it will definitely be useful to him.

I said, "Take me to find the brush?"

The security guard hurriedly walked out of the yard. This time, the onlookers said nothing. I turned back to Yuan Xue, who had been stunned, and said: "Actually, I am just Ren Qiancang's wife. To me, the wife of the Ren family,

It's too big a title. Yuan Xue, I have always regarded you as my only sister in the big courtyard."

Following the old security guard, he walked towards the yard where the security guard used his dormitory. Behind him were a bunch of family members. Yuan Xue did not follow him. After walking around the corner twice, Bao Ye and the other five followed him. Bao Ye squeezed in

Beside me, someone whispered: "My wife is mighty, and the villain is willing to lose."

The old security guard took us to the security dormitory. There is a courtyard at the back, a courtyard, which is not big, only six small rooms. There are several sets of security uniforms hanging in the corridor. There are several large water tanks in the middle of the yard. This water tank is

It's the same as the water tank in my small building, but it's not that kind of black water, but clear water with lotus flowers planted in it.

This kind of scenery is common in large courtyards imitating the Qing Dynasty. Usually there are a few fish in the tank. But now, there are only very good and messy lotus leaves in the tank. Dead leaves and young leaves are all...

Can cover the water tank completely.

The old security guard stood next to the water tank, bent down, and reached into the water tank to touch. But his expression became more and more uncomfortable. It had been almost a minute and he still hadn't touched anything.

I said, "Is the writing brush inside?"

"Well, I wrapped it with tarpaulin and put it in an iron box. I wrapped it with several layers of tarpaulin and put it down. How big is the package?" He gestured. It can even contain a pair of boots.

The big box is so big. It’s packed in so many layers, so why can’t it be touched?

I said: "Look for something and smash the jar."

As soon as I finished speaking, the old man in the crowd who usually cleaned tables and swept the floor started shouting. "You can't smash it! You can't smash it! This vat is from the Qing Dynasty. Madam, the value of this vat is no less than the lost writing brush."

"

"Smash it. If Ren Qiancang pursues it, I will be responsible."

For a moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to take action. You must know that such large tanks are very heavy, and there is water in them. The possibility of knocking them over and pouring the water out is almost zero.

.Even an empty tank may not be able to be pushed, let alone the water inside. If you use a bucket to carry water, the water in such a large tank cannot be poured directly into the yard, and it has to be lifted to the grass outside. This is

Don't know when it will be done.

A security guard said: "I remember there was a water pump at home. If you connect it to the pipe, you can pump out the water."

For a while, everyone agreed. I also agreed with this method. I waited for the water pump to come over and take over the water pumping. By the time the water in the tank was drained, it was almost evening. According to my usual work and rest habits,

At this time,

Ren Qiancang should be going home soon. I couldn't let others know the connection between losing the brush and not letting Ren Qiancang go home. So I excused myself from standing for several hours and walked into a nearby room.

Find a stool in the security guard's dormitory and sit down to wait for the results.

Although they call me wife, after all, they are not servants at home. At most, they are employees such as nannies and security guards. When it comes to getting a chair, I can ask them to help me get it, but they can refuse me.

Okay. So I was looking for a stool in the dormitory without attracting anyone's attention.

I whispered this to Ren Qiancang with my cell phone, and asked him not to come back yet. When it gets dark, I still don’t know what will happen. Because now Wu Guang’s influence is not just one person.

.

When the water pump finished pumping out such a large tank of water, it was already after five o'clock. It was already dark after five o'clock in the winter, and the aunties in the kitchen had also left here and were busy cooking. And

There was nothing in the tank except some residual lotus leaves and mud.

But I did see a trace of something being left behind in the mud.

"Where's the pen?" I looked at the old security guard who had collapsed on the ground because of this scene. He said absently: "I really, really put it in there. Really! Madam, I put it in there.

! It must have been taken away! It must be! Madam, madam, I didn’t lie to you. Don’t let me spend the night in that room, don’t leave me there. There is really a ghost in this big yard!"

The old security guard's words made the onlookers gasp in surprise. Everyone was looking at me, waiting to see what I would do. Looking at the old security guard on the ground like that, I was sure that he didn't know where the brush was now.

But finding the writing brush is the most important thing now. I told everyone: "Let's all disperse. The old security guard's work will be suspended for now. Let's coordinate with the security office and give him a week's leave. What I said

:This old security guard is not allowed to set foot in the Ren family’s courtyard for a week.”

"Madam, you want to... fire me? I..." The old security guard trembled, but didn't know what to say. He was an old employee who had worked for the Ren family for many years. If he resigned suddenly, he would definitely

He is unwilling to do so, even if he steals the brush now.

After everyone dispersed, I sent the old security guard out together. Mr. Bao also cautiously followed us. In the long corridor, I whispered a lot to the old security guard. I said I

I know that he didn't steal the pen on purpose. He didn't know what he was doing when he took the brush. And I also believe that he didn't lie to me. And if I give him a week off now, it's not to fire him, but to

For his safety.

I finally said: "You are right, this big courtyard is haunted."

The old security guard cried and said: "Madam, it's really haunted. Uncle Wu came to see me. He asked me to get a brush and kill people. I asked him who to kill, but he didn't tell me, so he asked me to get a brush. I just did that

I went to get it in a daze."

Master Bao said behind us: "Tell me specifically how you met Uncle Wu."

The old security guard said that he was sitting in front of the courtyard door of the study that day. It was around 5 o'clock in the evening, when the shift was about to change, and he heard a noise in the study. He was afraid that it was a thief or something, so he went in to take a look. However,

After entering, I didn't see anyone, but I vaguely heard Uncle Wu's voice.

Sound, Uncle Wu asked him to pick up the brush in the old man's study. When he woke up, he thought he had just heard a hallucination. Once, twice, three times, he went to pick up the brush in a daze at noon today.

.He knew we were checking the pen, so he panicked, so he wrapped the pen and put it in the vat.

"Isn't it a mess in the study these days? Are you alone?" I asked.

The one who answered me was not the old security guard, but Mr. Bao. He said: "Those who deal with antiques have rules. They have to leave the closed door at five o'clock. The same goes for the museum. No matter how big the matter is, you must leave at five o'clock."

Everybody leave."

"That's right, it was around five-twenty when I heard the sound. They had all left and the doors were closed. Our security shift takes over at six o'clock."

I sent the old security guard out of Ren's house and let him stay at home for a week. Then I looked at the time and it was already five forty. I said casually: "Master Bao, let's go to the kitchen to eat. Ren

Qian Cang is not at home. Alas~" Since moving here, the number of times Ren Qian Cang has not come back at night, except for his last business trip to the capital, can be counted with one slap.

I really felt bad. Master Bao rolled his eyes at me and said, "Where are you going to the kitchen? Let's have a supper. Let's go! Go to the study to look for ghosts."

"Ah?! Now?"

"Of course it's now! You go too, you have a lot of yin energy, so it's easier for you to see her."

"Me? I..."

"Leave me alone! Let's go!"

Master Bao just dragged me into the study room. I still yelled: "Shouldn't you go get the equipment? Aren't you carrying a bag?"

"I'm just looking for someone's head. What's the point of using those? Once you find it, just use some vase or box in the study and put it in it."

"This... hello..."

My protest was useless, he just dragged me all the way to the study.

In front of the courtyard of the study, a security guard was eating there with a big bowl. When he saw us coming, he said quickly: "Hey, are you coming here now?"

"Come and take a look!" Mr. Bao took out the key.

The security guard quickly said: "Master Bao, you are the supervisor and I can't control you, but you should know the rules in the study. It's already past five o'clock."

"Okay. When I stayed up all night, why didn't I see you bringing me midnight snacks?" Just like that, Master Bao opened the study door, and the security guard stopped talking and retracted his neck.

When the door opened, a cold wind blew over. I shivered even though I was wearing a down jacket. Mr. Bao took out a copper coin from his trouser pocket, held it between his hands, and then slowly stepped forward

Go in.
