Chapter 5: Yin and Yang of the House

  "Qiu Shen is not a person of this world," Tian Qi was still thinking about this matter when lying in bed at night, what does this sentence mean?

  The long-lived person living in Zhang Xin's body, or more accurately, he was Zhang Xin himself. He only told him this one sentence, and Tian Qi wanted to ask further about the reason, but didn't get an answer.

  Are people who aren't from this world aliens? Tian Qi guessed, but no matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem right. Zhang Xin said that the mystery would eventually be revealed.

  The mystery had yet to be revealed, but Tian Qi immediately encountered new trouble.

  "No house photos, only address?" Yesterday, Tianqi didn't ask Pangzi about the business he received because he had something on his mind. Now that he's on his way to the mansion, he's carefully thinking about this matter.

  "That little guy also asked, but the other party said that they would know when they arrived and only gave an address to go there today," said Fatso, driving the car, stretching out his right index finger pointing at Qiu Shen sitting in the back seat. Tian Qi sat in the front passenger seat.

  It was unclear whether Chou Shen had not heard what Fatso said or if he had simply chosen to ignore him, as his gaze out the window did not change.

  "There will be singing in the house at midnight, which doesn't seem to be a big problem. It's probably just that there is a ghost inside who hasn't left yet and nothing unexpected has happened," Tianqi thought something was off, especially since the client had already paid 50,000 yuan as a deposit and would pay another 100,000 after it was done. This seemed a bit too exaggerated, to say they were already well-known in the industry this number was normal, but they had just started doing this line of work."

  Tian Qi turned his head to look at Qiu Shen, thinking of asking him again carefully. After all, he was also present when they took on this business, and might have some premonition. However, he changed his mind, figuring that even if he asked, it would be pointless. If there were any issues, Qiu Shen would have told him already.

  Just take it one step at a time.

  "I'm going, it shouldn't be this mansion, right? It's so domineering!" Two hours later, the agreed address was about to arrive, and a mansion built at the foot of the mountain appeared in front of me. The layout looked like an old Beijing quadrangle courtyard, but it was different because the main house behind the middle hill was obviously higher than the other three houses. The foundation was very high, almost parallel to the courtyard wall surrounding the mansion.

  But this is also why they can see clearly from a distance. When they arrived at the gate of the house, they found that the wall was more than two meters high.

  "You must be Mr. Wu, nice to meet you," a man standing at the door walked over and extended his hand to Tianqi after getting off the car.

  "Hello," it seems that Pangzi must have told him, Tianqi is the main person in charge of the three of them, the other two have met before, only Tianqi hasn't been seen, and it's not surprising to recognize him.

  "Are you the master of this house?"

  Black suit, black tie, black leather shoes, black sunglasses, short hair, this outfit makes Tian Qi think of a secret agent, and this person looks like he's only around forty or so, shouldn't have such a large business empire.

  But the answer he got was affirmative, and Tian Qi didn't pursue it further, unless necessary, he wouldn't ask about the client's *, even if he had just entered the profession, he knew this principle, let alone the person in front of him, who might not be the real owner of this mansion, but definitely not simple, don't look for trouble for yourself.

  The man in black simply greeted them and led Tianqi and the others into the mansion, briefly explaining the situation, which was roughly the same as what the fat man had told Tianqi. At night, someone would sing a sad song in the house.

  But what surprised Tian Qi and the others was that although the exterior of the mansion looked grand, the interior decoration was extremely simple. Except for a few beds in the wing room on the right side, almost all the other rooms were empty.

  Before Tian Qi could ask, the man in black said that since they don't live here now, all the furniture and stuff have been moved away. They will be staying here tonight, so they temporarily brought over a few beds.

  That makes sense, even if someone has a lot of money, they wouldn't just leave their good furniture in an empty house.

  I've taken a look around but can't find any problems, I'll have to wait until tonight to take another look.

  "Dependent on the mountain and beside the water, even I can see that this is a treasure land of Feng Shui, how could it be haunted?" The fat man muttered to himself, just in front of the house not far away was a small river, which was formed by the convergence of spring water from the top of the mountain.

  Tian Qi didn't say anything, although he also thought so. However, if he agreed with Pangzi, others might think he was unprofessional. Besides, if there really wasn't a problem, who would spend so much money to hire someone, unless they had water in their brain?

  The man in black was not a talkative person. After a brief introduction, he did not speak again and didn't even tell Tianqi and the others his name.

  Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the dark night.

  But the singing didn't appear until the sky turned pale at dawn.

  "Grandma's, could it be that my strong yang energy scared the ghost away?" Fatso also followed, having hardly slept all night, with panda eyes open while driving, they were already on their way back.

  "I've always felt that something wasn't quite right, but I couldn't put my finger on it." Qiu Shen suddenly said.

  "Got it, my deep-seated grudge against you, don't think that your intuition is always right, good things are never accurate, but bad things are always spot on. Anyway, the 50,000 yuan is already ours, and if the house really doesn't have any strange occurrences, the promised 100,000 yuan will also be ours. This windfall is not to be missed." Although Fatty didn't see the singing ghost, he still got the money, and his heart was filled with joy.

  The matter passed like this until a week later when 100,000 yuan was deposited into the company account.

  "This customer can't be that stupid, right? The 100,000 yuan really came in handy." Just staying in the house for one night and doing nothing, he still got 150,000 yuan out of it, and even Fatso felt surprised.

  "This matter is probably not that simple," Tian Qi had also investigated the owner of this house recently, and it turned out to be a property of the local Zhang's Group. For such a large family group, taking out 150,000 yuan was really easy, but they wouldn't give people money for no reason.

  Tianqi asked Paozi to contact that person, but when Paozi called, it was an empty number, which clearly meant he didn't want to be contacted again.

  This deal should end here, although the money came a bit strangely, but Tianqi wouldn't be stupid enough to return the money to the point of no return. If so, Pangzi would be the first to disagree, after all, he is also one of the people in charge of this company.

  It just so happened that something went wrong that very night.

  Fatso came back from outside at night, carrying a person on his back, a dead person...

  It was past nine at night, Qiu Shen was upstairs, and Tian Qi was alone downstairs. Anyway, waiting around was the same as waiting around, who knows if there would be any new business to attend to. Moreover, Bao Zi had gone out to see friends and hadn't returned yet, so the door wasn't closed either.

  Tian Qi was reading some common sense about catching ghosts on the computer, a gust of cold wind came, he shivered, and when he looked up, he saw Fatso stumbling in, swaying back and forth, his shirt barely covering his bulging belly, revealing a patch of snowy white skin.

  Tian Qi opened his eyes wide, of course, he wasn't looking at Pangzi's belly, but the old lady on his back.

  "Don't move!" Tian Qi stood up and pointed at Pangzi.

  "I'm going, you scared me to death, what's wrong?" The fat man was also startled by this sudden voice and looked at Tian Qi in a daze.

  "Don't move, there's a ghost on your back!"

  "Ah!" Upon hearing Tian Qi say that, the fatty's face instantly turned bright red. He actually had been holding in his urine, and upon hearing that there was a ghost on his back, he almost couldn't hold it in anymore.

  "Is... is... a female ghost or a male ghost? Is it handsome?"

  Fatso actually had this mood and thought, Tianqi silently cursed him eight hundred times in his heart. He ignored Fatso and tried to communicate with the old lady who was now lying on Fatso's back, her head slightly forward and pressed against Fatso's neck, her eyes like two black holes without eyeballs. If someone were to drop a few cow tears onto Fatso right now, he would probably faint immediately.

  Ten minutes... fifteen minutes, this old ghost lady seemed to have not seen Tian Qi at all, without any response. The fatty had already said three times that he was going to suffocate.

  "There's no other way, let's go to the crossroads," Tian Qi said.

  At this moment, Qiu Shen has also come down. The two of them prepared some paper money and let Baozi follow behind to the nearby crossroads.

  Actually, Tian Qi didn't want to use this trick. Burning paper money in front of the old lady, she would definitely be tempted to come and pick up the money, but it was very dangerous. Because he didn't know the old lady's name or her birth date, the money was burned in front of her, but not specifically for her, equivalent to burning for lonely souls and wild ghosts, and might attract more ghostly spirits.

  But now there's no other way out, can only do so.
