I'm going to restart my life

Chapter 9 [Pretend to be smart]

"Why did you come to see me?" The landlord looked at Li Chong suspiciously.

I don't know if it's Li Chongkai's illusion, but after he looks better, the landlord seems to be kinder to him.

"I want to ask, do you know this box? It's in the basement of our apartment!" Li Chongkai was too lazy to say anything else, so he got straight to the point and took out the box.

Anyway, the talent has been activated, so this box is useless to him.

The only purpose of this box at present is to put it back in the basement after a while.

The landlord's face suddenly became terrified, "Put this thing back quickly! It's going to kill someone!"

Li Chongkai opened the door unhurriedly, "So can I go in now?"

The landlord hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Come in."

Once you enter the room.

"There are no slippers on the ground, except for the pair on the landlord's feet, the rest of the slippers are almost all in the shoe cabinet."

"The spare slippers in the shoe cabinet are also very bright in color, almost the same color as the high-heeled shoes in the shoe cabinet. It seems that only the landlord lives here."

"There is no dust on the spare slippers, either the landlord likes to clean, or there have been guests recently."

Li Chongkai consciously put on his slippers and walked into the living room.

The decoration style of the living room is quite simple, the sofa is next to the wall, and the colors on the wall are mostly Morandi colors.

In the middle of the wall are rows of built-in bookshelves.

The bookshelves are full of them.

"Agatha Christie and the Quinn brothers, Paul Holt, Conan Doyle, even Keigo Higashino and Kotaro Isaka!"

"You are quite a vegetarian." Li Chongkai said.

Li Chongkai noticed that in addition to mystery novels, there are also many weird horror novels and Buddhist scriptures.

What is the composition of this product?Believe in ghosts and gods while watching reasoning, you have a hand!

The landlord frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and did not respond to Li Chongkai's words.

If she pays so much attention to her bookshelf when guests come to the house, she will inevitably have to say a few words!

After all, besides satisfying the desire to collect, the bookshelf is for others to see.

If you can't share it, isn't it Jinyi Night Walk?

Li Chongkai didn't care, and continued to look at the objects placed in the living room.

"Is there an ashtray on the table? And it's still an old ashtray, with signs of being cleaned."

Li Zhongkai silently wrote down the details that the landlord might smoke.

The landlord seemed to be impatient, and Li Chongkai looked around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden as soon as he entered.

Except for mentioning two bookshelves, I never talked about the box!
If it weren't for his good looks, he would have been kicked out a long time ago.

"How did you get that box? No matter what! I advise you to put it back quickly!" the landlord said anxiously.

Li Chongkai sat on the sofa and did not respond. He was thinking about how much the landlord knew about the box.

"Did you get divorced recently?" He didn't talk about the box, but asked about the landlord.

"Aren't you reconciled to still wearing a wedding ring until now?"

The landlord nervously covered the ring finger of his left hand: "What's none of your business?"

"The speculative novels on the bookshelf shouldn't be what you read, right? The ashtray on the table looks like it's been used frequently, but the cigarette stains on your hands don't match this ashtray."

"Perhaps because of your lover's accumulated influence over time, you, who originally liked ghost novels, gradually fell in love with mystery novels, so you didn't throw away mystery novels."

"Although you smoke, you don't have the habit of smoking regularly. You thought it might be useful to keep the ashtray, so you didn't throw it away."

"Although the shoe cabinet is very clean, you have too few shoes, which only take up less than half of the shoe cabinet, and there is no dust in the empty space. You have thrown away a lot, right? For example, he gave it to you of those?"

"It's just that you forgot to throw away some slippers. Although the color is relatively simple, they are buy one get one free. Buy a pair of pink and get a pair of blue, and you only throw away the blue ones."

"What a coincidence, my single dog family happens to have a pair of the same style! I bought them in the supermarket downstairs."

Li Chongkai seemed to have come to his own home, took a cup of hot water from the drinking machine with the kettle, and poured it for himself.

The landlord had a look of disbelief, and he was all right.

"What the hell are you here for?"

Li Chongkai looked dignified, and said solemnly: "Tell me everything you know about the box, it's about human life!"

The reason why he said so much was to suppress the landlord's psychology. Otherwise, with the landlord's personality, it would be difficult to explain everything he knew.

As for the landlord's bullshit love story, he didn't bother to care about it!

The landlord took off the mask with a dejected expression, and slumped on the sofa.

Slowly said: "Our neighborhood is haunted! Well, it should be said that only your building is haunted..."

Li Chongkai nodded: "I know."

"You know?!" The landlord exclaimed, almost bouncing off the sofa.

When she rented a house to Li Chong, she deliberately concealed it in order to rent out the house.

I didn't expect the other party to know!
As if she had done something wrong, she glanced at Li Chongkai with a guilty conscience, and continued:
"Some time ago, about a few weeks ago, someone committed suicide in that building..."

"And the residents all said that there was a ghost in that building, and they couldn't sleep well at night!"

"My husband usually reads mystery novels and doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all. He saw that the tenants were about to check out! He decided to try his own tricks! Go and stay for one night in person to reassure the tenants' doubts."

Hearing this, Li Chong became interested, and slowly sat up straight. He probably already guessed the fate of the landlord's husband.

"and then?"

"Then my husband... he just... nothing happened."

grass!What's the matter without you talking!Li Zhongkai was speechless!
Are you putting it here?

The landlord quickly said: "Listen to me! The residents don't follow my husband's way at all, and they checked out one after another!"

"And after coming back from there, my husband seemed to be a different person! After coming back, he didn't even read mystery novels, but watched horror live broadcasts every day, and even argued for a divorce every day!"

"I feel like he is possessed by something, and he is talking about some box every day."

"We separated later." The landlord said in a low voice, "But I found the box he mentioned."

"It's this thing?" Li Chong drove the mysterious little box into the air.

The landlord was startled when he saw the box being thrown around by Li Chongkai.

Li Chongkai then asked: "Where did you find it?"

"It's in the basement of the house. It seems that it was passed down by an old man in a tenant's family. It was left there and forgot to take it away."
