The villa of Shangguan Laner's family is very large. As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a huge yard. The yard is only well maintained. When you enter, there happens to be a gardener pruning the flowers and trees.
There are various flowers, trees and fruits planted on both sides, and there is an exaggerated concrete road in the middle. Shangguan Laner led us along and said: "The house will be more lively when you are here. No guests have come to the house for a long time."
, I feel deserted when I go home.”
Shangguan Laner introduced us to the general situation of her family. Perhaps she was afraid that we would feel embarrassed and inconvenienced, so she explained everything clearly.
The huge house of Shangguan Laner's house is really deserted. Apart from Shangguan Laner and her grandfather, there is also a gardener, a driver, and an aunt who cleans and cooks. These few people have been living in the villa all year round.
Here, taking care of everything in the villa.
"It's too wasteful to live in such a big villa with so many people. Can't you tell, your family is very rich?" Wang Xiaolei said as he walked, "Your ancestor was an official?"
I think Wang Xiaolei is also blind. He is covered in famous brands, but he didn't notice that Shangguan Laner is also covered in famous brands. Of course, it cannot be denied that Wang Xiaolei doesn't recognize famous brands. It must be because this guy has thick lines and doesn't pay attention at all.
Wang Xiaolei is also very funny. He can actually tell you that your ancestors were officials. Even if they were officials, they wouldn't be able to make much money in this poor place.
"My grandfather is in business." Shangguan Laner glared at Wang Xiaolei and said, "My grandfather is in the antique business."
Now I understand. Just like my grandfather, if you do antique business well, you will naturally make money. Let alone a villa like this. If you want to make a lot of money, you can build ten villas like this.
Under the words.
The villa of Shangguan Laner's family is decorated in an antique style. At first glance, it makes people feel like they have traveled back in time to ancient times.
"You're not scared, are you? My grandfather likes this arrangement." Shangguan Lan'er said.
"As expected, I am an antique shop. The whole house is like an antique market." Wang Xiaolei said while looking around.
I took a look, and it was true as Wang Xiaolei said, the decorations and many decorations in their home were all antiques. Shangguan Laner's grandfather was really generous. These things were placed casually in the corners of the house.
Aren't you afraid of accidentally breaking it and causing financial losses? My grandfather would never do this. My grandfather always takes good care of antiques and stores them well no matter how much he likes them.
Shangguan Laner chuckled and said: "My grandpa is a little obsessed with antiques. I will take you to the room first, you can put your things away, and then meet my grandpa. My grandpa heard that you were coming and said he wanted to meet you.
.”
Undoubtedly, the rooms in such a luxurious villa are also very luxurious. We were arranged in a row of guest rooms on the second floor.
Everyone has a room, which is quite luxurious. Shangguan Laner said that it will be empty anyway. There are so many rooms in this house that are originally used to entertain guests.
After we threw our luggage into the room, we followed Shangguan Laner to her grandfather's study on the third floor.
"Duk duk duk!" Shangguan Lan'er stood at the door of the study and knocked cautiously.
"Is it Lan'er? A guest is here? Come in." A voice came from inside.
I couldn't tell from the voice how old the other party was, but for an old man with such an older granddaughter, he shouldn't be too young.
Shangguan Laner opened the door and we followed her in.
The smell of books in the study room is very strong. The whole study room is quite large. The two rows of bookshelves against the wall are filled with volumes of books. After casually scanning, there are many books about antique identification.
Shangguan Laner's grandfather was sitting on the sofa by the window in the study, making tea with a tea set. When he heard us entering, he didn't raise his head. He slowly washed the tea cup before raising his head to look at us, and then said:
"Come and sit."
The few of us following Shangguan Laner couldn't help but feel nervous.
Shangguan Laner's grandfather is very young, a bit too young, just like my grandfather. He looks like he is only in his forties, which surprised us all. And there is something unique about this man.
His aura, in short, makes people feel like they become humbled in front of him unconsciously.
Shangguan Lan'er first ran to her grandfather's side, sat down, and then said to us: "Sit down, you're welcome."
Without saying a word, Prince Yama took a look at the seat opposite Grandpa Shangguan Laner, walked over and sat down.
A few of us followed and sat down one after another. Shangguan Laner's grandfather raised his eyes and looked at Lord Yama, then started pouring tea. After pouring it, he said: "Drink."
Prince Yama was the first to pick up a small tea cup and took a sip of tea.
The rest of us seemed a little cramped. We didn't know why, but we felt like a minister who had made a mistake meeting the emperor. It was very depressing.
I know in my heart that this old man is just like my grandfather, but if he is absolutely cautious for no reason, it is because the Lord of Hell has a strong aura and is not afraid of such an old man at all.
After drinking a few cups of tea, the old man glanced at us a few times. The last thing he focused on was me and Lord Yama. I always felt that there was something meaningful in his gaze.
"I am the owner of this family, Shangguan Tianqing." The old man introduced himself after a while.
I said: "Hello, we are friends of Lan'er. I don't know if I am disturbing you by coming to your place."
Shangguan Tianqing didn't say anything, but kept staring at the Lord of Hell. There was something interesting in his eyes. I was surprised. This person must have regarded the Lord of Hell as an antique.
I quickly said: "This is Mu Qing, who is engaged in performance art. He likes to wear ancient costumes. It took him many years to grow his hair."
Shangguan Tianqing glanced at me, which made me panic, and then said something that made my hair stand on end. He said: "I know what you are covering up."
I was stunned for a moment. What did he know? Did he know that I, an exorcist, followed a policeman to his mansion to find the murderer? Or did he know that the Lord of Hell was the Lord of Hell? Or, to put it simply, he knew that the Lord of Hell was engaged in performance art.
But no matter how I looked at it, I felt that this Shangguan Tianqing was not that simple. And then, Shangguan Tianqing gave me another bolt from the blue. He seemed to be casual, but he said with a meaningful tone: "I'll wait for you.
It’s been a long time, but it’s finally here.”
Look, he said this as if he knew we would come before we even came.
I was nervous because this man was an ageless monster like my grandfather. There was no guarantee that he would not be as unpredictable as my grandfather. He knew everything and was an antique dealer. He might even know my grandfather.
He is very good at antiques. There is no one in China that my grandfather does not know.
I don’t know why, people didn’t make it clear and told me what they wanted to do to me, but I was just nervous.
On the other hand, the other people, who knew nothing about anything, were not nervous at all. Liu Yigang had a solemn look on his face, but Wang Xiaolei couldn't sit still after sitting for a few minutes, and started to talk nonsense again with a smile.
Song Yu and Mi Shu looked indifferent, listening to Wang Xiaolei's arguments with wan interest.
I glanced at Lord Yama. Lord Yama was very brave. He was addicted to this tea. No matter who was the host or the guest, he picked up the teapot and poured it for himself. He drank a few cups one after another.
He put down his tea cup and leaned back lazily.
Shangguan Tianqing was not upset at all, but he glanced at Lord Yama a few more times, intentionally or unintentionally, with an enigmatic smile on his face, which made my heart pound.
We came here to investigate the case. Anyway, it is definitely not a good thing for them. Everyone here may be a suspect. When I think about it, I always feel that there is something false in my heart.
Shangguan Tianqing didn't say anything more. After looking at us one by one, he asked me what my name was.
After I told him my name was Long Zuimeng, he asked me if I was Long Yan's grandson.
I really guessed it right. This person is not simple. He knows my grandfather.
I can't deny that this matter was exposed as soon as I asked. After Shangguan Tianqing looked at me for a few times, he said: "It's the same as what Long Yan said."
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Tianqing said nothing more and gave Shangguan Lan'er a look, and Shangguan Lan'er took us out.
Shangguan Laner asked us to go back to the room to rest first, saying that he would call us after lunch and would take us to have fun in the afternoon.
I don’t know what fun Shangguan Laner is talking about, but judging from her appearance, she probably won’t take us to play anything mentally retarded.
The Prince of Hell and Long Feifan followed me into my room. As soon as they entered the door, the Prince of Hell said, "He knows everything."
"Who?" I glanced at Lord Yama, and then realized that he was talking about Shangguan Tianqing, "What does he know?"
"I know everything." Prince Yama said, and after a pause he added, "I know more than you."
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked Lord Yama: "What is the purpose of telling me this?"
The Prince of Hell didn't say anything at that moment, and he disappeared in an instant, just to play with me.
I was thinking about the meaning of what Lord Yama said. Everyone knows it, and they know more than me. I can’t understand it without thinking. What do I know? I came to this place without knowing anything. Shangguan Tianqing said
Know more than me, what does that mean?
The words that Lord Yama left for me were so meaningful. Anyway, I didn’t understand them. But listening to the meaning of those words, it felt like I was being tricked by Shangguan Danqing. He knew everything, but I was still with him.
If you pretend to be in front of others, you will become a clown. Sure enough, the old and immortal are all cunning guys, and my old man is a living representative.
Not long after Lord Yama left, someone knocked on my door.
As soon as I opened the door, Mi Shu and Liu Yigang were standing at the door of my room.
