The First Volume Chapter 12 The Mysterious Wine House

  Cheng Liang's words immediately attracted Ding Xiaomao and everyone around him, Ding Xiaomao looked at Cheng Liang with some confusion, involuntarily leaning in close to Cheng Liang's body, "You're saying that you encountered something, it was the work of a ghost?"

  Cheng Liang nodded and looked around, lowering his voice: "I think so, can we... talk privately?"

  As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd that had just been watching the commotion suddenly became noisy. "Hey! Don't leave! If you have something to say, say it here and let everyone hear!"

  "Exactly, unity is strength! Maybe many people here can help you!"

  "Not bad! I've seen everything in my life, just haven't seen a ghost! Speak up quickly and let me open my eyes wide!"

  The last sentence sounded somewhat familiar to Jiang Qicai, who cast his gaze over and soon discovered that the person was none other than "Kong He, Thailand's top eunuch", who had given him a business card before.

  Jiang Qicai hastily turned his face away, as if he didn't even want to look at him. Wang Shiyu on the side also showed a curious expression, quietly waiting for what Cheng Liang would say next.

  Cheng Liang saw the eager expressions of the people around him, and Ding Xiaomao was even more expectant. He could only smile wryly and turned to a nearby waiter, making a gesture, "Give me a glass of brandy, thank you!"

  The brandy arrived quickly, Cheng Liang found a secluded corner and sat down on the ground with a thud, gently rubbing his temples with his hands. The others also gathered around, standing on one side, countless pairs of eyes staring at Cheng Liang in unison.

  Many impatient people saw Cheng Liang drinking glass after glass, but he didn't show any signs of opening his mouth, and they couldn't help but want to scold him.

  Ding Xiaomao was so angry that he wanted to pry open his mouth and lift him up, pouring out all the words in his heart. Fortunately, after Cheng Liang drank a few sips of wine, his face began to turn slightly red, and he started talking more and more.

  The onlookers saw Cheng Liang start speaking and all fell silent, the scene was eerily quiet.

  Jiang Qicai and Wang Shiyu quietly stood behind the crowd, also perking up their ears to listen carefully, what kind of strange thing had Cheng Liang encountered.

  "The origin of this matter is from my brother's wine shop. Cheng Liang said while drinking, "This wine shop has been open for more than half a year since its opening. At the beginning of the first three months, relying on my brother's ability to turn things around in the business world and his good skills, the sales volume rose sharply. At that time, both my brother and I carefully selected the geographical location and Feng Shui of this wine shop, and we also found many famous Feng Shui masters to examine it in detail, and there was no problem at all!"

  "Feng shui master? Hmph!" Ding Xiaomao heard these few words, and his eyes clearly showed a look of disdain. However, Cheng Liang at this moment had already completely fallen into his own narrative, and didn't notice Ding Xiaomao's expression at all.

  Instead, Jiang Qicai, who was hiding in the crowd, rolled his eyes and stared straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

  "But the good times didn't last, until three months ago one day, a strange thing suddenly happened in our wine shop, and I was also present that day!"

  At this point, Lawyer Cheng took another big gulp, his chest heaving constantly, clearly still shaken by the memory of that day.

  "That night, around twelve o'clock, was when our restaurant was about to close. At the time, apart from me, there were three or four other colleagues present. Originally, my brother and I were discussing some matters related to the restaurant before closing up, but unexpectedly, at that moment, a shrill and piercing scream suddenly came from inside our restaurant! It was clearly the sound of a woman being strangled, the kind of voice that can only be made when one's throat is being constricted!"

  "What kind of woman is it? Which direction did she come from? Are you sure she's inside the wine tower?"

  Attorney Cheng's dull eyes flashed a hint of fear, "Probably a woman in her twenties, I can confirm it was inside the wine building, and even in the direction of the restroom!"

  Ding Xiaomao thought for a moment and asked again, "Are you sure there were no customers left in the hotel at that time?"

  Attorney Cheng nodded, took another big gulp of wine and said: "I absolutely won't remember wrong! At that time, my brother and I personally sent off the last table of guests before discussing things. And afterwards, when the voice rang out, my brother, several apprentices and I all rushed to the bathroom at the first moment, but as a result... there was no woman... only... only... only..." Attorney Cheng said three "only"s in one breath, but no matter what, he couldn't continue.

  At this time, everyone present was eager to know what had happened, and they all chimed in, asking: "What did you see? Tell us quickly!"

  "Damn it, I'm going crazy! Am I really seeing a ghost? What does that ghost look like?"

  "Come on, tell us, stop teasing!"

  Suddenly, a voice different from everyone else's inserted itself and said:

  "Could it be that you saw a piece of shit? It's normal to see that thing in the toilet!" As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to the speaker, and Jiang Qi suddenly realized that the person who said this was actually that high-ranking eunuch from Thailand - Kong He.

  Jiang Qicai also noticed that when Kong He spoke, a thread of mysterious and inexplicable light flashed between his eyes.

  “……”

  However, as soon as Kong He finished speaking, at least half of the people in the room almost bowed their heads and vomited.

  Wang Shiyu was also one of them. She bent down, pulled Jiang Qicai's arm, frowned and retched a few times, then looked at Kong He with disgust and said in a low voice: "This person is really disgusting!"

  Jiang Qicai suppressed his smile and took another look at Kong He, wondering what this Kong He was all about.

  After the hustle and bustle of the vegetable market, Attorney Cheng's face had recovered a lot. At this time, his eyes scanned everyone's faces one by one, and finally shook his head, saying word by word: "At that time, my brother, those partners, and I saw only one thing! ——Blood, the entire bathroom was filled with bloodstains!"

  "What's scary about blood?"

  Lawyer Cheng stared into his eyes, "Because that blood... is black! And in one of the toilet stalls, we also found something that absolutely cannot appear there!"

  "What thing? Won't be a condom, will it?" As soon as Kong He finished speaking, almost everyone glared at him with hostility. Even Wang Shiyu, who had always been good-tempered, couldn't help but want to punch someone.

  But Attorney Cheng seemed to have not heard, muttering to himself: "That's a... medical scissors! A pair of scissors stained with black blood, and still attached to a piece of umbilical cord!"

  After finishing speaking, all the people present, including Kong He, fell silent again.

  Only in Jiang Qicai and Ding Xiaomao's eyes, a thread of excited and urgent light was emitted.
