Chapter 5 The Haunted House (1)

When Pu Zixuan returned to the Happy Mansion, he saw Zhu Yuanliang sleeping soundly on the bed made of small-leaf red sandalwood. He grabbed his fat butt and shouted: "Get up quickly!"

Zhu Yuanliang stood up sleepily and cursed: "Grandma, can you still let someone live?"

Pu Zixuan said, "Stop sleeping, I remember, that woman, didn't she jumped off the building a few days ago and died? It was in the building where the beggar begged, No. 14, Li'an Road. We all went to the scene at that time, and the woman vomited blood from her mouth, and she died tragically!"

Zhu Yuanliang rubbed his eyes and said, "You said this, it's a bit like it. Let me go and see it again."

The two of them looked at the woman with their telescopes, but they were still pitch black. Pu Zixuan said, "Strange, the woman looked at me at the camera, and then she never appeared again. It's so fucking hell!"

Zhu Yuanliang became interested when he heard this: "Haha, look, I'll say there are ghosts in this world!"

Pu Zixuan didn't want to admit it, so he said, "I really hope I've read it wrong, or they're twins, or they just look like each other. No matter what, I have to solve this mystery. You are a constable, with a wide range of hands and eyes, and you must help me!"

Zhu Yuanliang smiled and said, "You are such an idle person. OK, then I tell you, I heard that the building at No. 14, Li'an Road is a haunted house, but that is not my patrol area. Tomorrow, I will take you to find someone, and he may know better."

"who?"

"Lu Zhen, Captain Lu."

Pu Zixuan spent his whole night in doubt. Of course, he didn't worry about this heartlessness because he was idle. It was the woman's ghost smile that made him feel unfamiliar. He even thought all night long: Why did the dead woman appear there? Why did he just look at me? Is there really something I can't imagine in this world?

In the boring wasted life, he vaguely felt a trace of the meaning of existence.

The next day, Zhu Yuanliang took Pu Zixuan to a constable on the street and introduced: "This is Lu Zhen, the head of the charge of Li'an Road. If you have any questions, just ask him directly."

Although Lu Zhen was not as tall as Zhu Yuanliang, he was also really strong and asked friendly: "What's the point of looking for a dandelion?"

Pu Zixuan asked straight to the point: "Does Captain Lu know about No. 14, Li'an Road?"

Lu Zhen was immediately sensitive: "Why are you asking this?"

Pu Zixuan replied: "Lijiang people are in charge of Lijiang affairs."

Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Dantaizi has a wide range of friends. Do you even know the building No. 14, Li'an Road? Who doesn't know, the famous haunted house, was seized by the Qing government before the Hui Muslim uprising army came. It is said that many people jumped off the building from there."

Pu Zixuan asked curiously: "I have heard of the haunted house, but I don't know why people commit suicide there?"

Lu Zhen said: "People who commit suicide want auspicious things, just like the cliff of Mount Emei, Sichuan Province. Every year, people jump off the cliff from there. It is said that they commit suicide in a Buddhist holy place, and it is easy to become a Buddha after death."

Pu Zixuan was not interested in other places and asked, "Then please tell me how many people have committed suicide in that building?"

Lu Zhen said: "Then you should go to the government to ask."

Pu Zixuan suspected that Lu Zhen knew the truth, but he was impatient when asked and refused to say it. At this time, Zhu Yuanliang squeezed his eyes at Pu Zixuan. Pu Zixuan immediately understood and suggested: "Thank you for your hard work, two captains, why don't we go to Zhaiyue Tower to have fun, I'll treat you, have enough fun, sit down and chat slowly."

Zhaiyue Tower is a famous brothel in Lijiang. This trick really worked. Lu Zhen was immediately happy: "It is said that Dandelion is refreshing. When I see you today, what I said is true! Let me go, brother, I will definitely tell you everything."

The three of them moved to Zhaiyue Tower and called three graceful brooches to drink and have fun together. Lu Zhen changed his previous serious image and drank to the point of forgetting love. He actually took the initiative to confess: "I remember Brother Pu, in the past ten years, eleven people have committed suicide at No. 14, Li'an Road. The latest suicide case was a woman named Zhao Chengyi seven days ago."

Zhu Yuanliang added: "That's the one we see."

Pu Zixuan asked in confusion: "It's strange, there are eleven people in total. Why do they all go there to commit suicide? Who are they? Do they have anything in common?"

Lu Zhen thought for a while and said, "I don't think there is anything in common. I only know so much. I can help Dandragon, so that's all."

Without getting more information, Pu Zixuan was disappointed. After the three women were drinking, they were unwilling to entertain them to enjoy the carnival under their crotch, and ended the drinks early. After coming out of Zhaiyue Tower, Lu Zhen went on patrol alone. Seeing that it was still early, Pu Zixuan pulled Zhu Yuanliang again: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Zhu Yuanliang asked: "Where to go?"

"Go into that ghost house and find out."

Zhu Yuanliang cursed in confusion: "Crazy, are you still going to finish? If you want to go, you will go by yourself, I won't go!"

In fact, Pu Zixuan was also nervous. He wanted to take him with him for everything he said this time, so he talked about his feelings: "Is your grandmother still a brother? Do you think, how many times have I accompanied you since I was a child? When I was a child, you went to play honeycombs, and I accompanied you, and my face was fatter than you; later my father left, and my mansion was empty, so how long did you want to live there? You want to join the rebel army, and I skipped school and accompanied you to practice martial arts for two months... We don't say anything about repaying the grace of water, so I will accompany my brother this time, right? Besides, there are no monsters in this world, I just want to solve the mystery inside with a scientific and logical perspective."

Zhu Yuanliang then reluctantly agreed: "Okay, let's make it first. Once something eye-catching comes out, we must start running immediately."

Pu Zixuan smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that you are such a big man, who is even more courageous than Xiaohu in that play. OK, just say a word!"

The two of them came downstairs at No. 14, Li'an Road. Sure enough, the beggar was still sitting there begging. When they saw the two, they immediately came up and asked, "Who am I? Why am I here?"

This time, Pu Zixuan was too lazy to give alms to the copper plate, and said angrily: "We don't have time to accompany you to guess riddles."

Beggarko begged sadly: "Why can't I remember anything? Please, who knows who I am? Please tell me, please!"
