Chapter 39 Haunted House
"Haunted house?"
He Shen blinked and asked in surprise, "Why? I checked online before coming here, but I didn't hear about it!"
If a murder had occurred in Unit 401, it would be impossible not to find news about it on the Internet.
The old lady shook her head: "Well! Actually, it's not a haunted house, it's just unlucky! Too unlucky!"
She looked He Shen up and down, and seeing that he had a gentle and harmless expression on his face, she continued, "I'm telling you this because you're about the same age as my granddaughter. Don't go out and talk nonsense and affect the price of other houses in our community."
He Shen quickly assured with a serious look on his face: "Of course, sisters can rest assured."
"401 was originally occupied by a tenant from another place who came to work. He said he was working, but he was lazy and idle. Whenever he had money, he would drink until he was drunk. Otherwise, he would go gambling and lose everything..."
The aunt showed a look of disgust. "When he gets angry, he beats his wife in the middle of the night. We, the older sisters, often go to his house to mediate, but it's useless. He still beats her."
He Shen was really surprised now. In his impression, Hu Jiawei was not such a person. Moreover, with the extremely high standards of the He family in recruiting people, if Hu Jiawei was a drunkard and gambler, there was no way he could become the He family's driver.
In his impression, although Hu Jiawei has little presence, he looks very honest and is usually very serious and responsible in his work. Is he just pretending?
Another auntie came over and gossiped while eating sunflower seeds: "Later his wife couldn't stand it anymore and ran away, leaving him with only a daughter. But his daughter is very sensible. She knows how to do housework at a young age. She cooks and washes clothes every day after school. She is filial and has good grades. She always ranks first in the class. We are so jealous of her."
"Yes, yes, yes, his daughter is such a good kid. Later on, his luck turned around. He seemed to have found a really good job through connections and even drove a luxury car." The middle-aged woman continued, "Life seemed to be getting better, but his daughter was suddenly diagnosed with a disease, and it seemed to be a very serious disease. She has been in the hospital for a long time... She passed away two days ago."
He Shen was stunned. Hu Jiawei's daughter had passed away? Just two days ago?
This timing...isn't it a bit too coincidental?
"He was in a car accident a while ago and died on the spot. Both the father and daughter died within a month. It was really unlucky. The owner also thought it was unlucky and was in a hurry to sell it!" The aunt shook her head. "But everyone in our neighborhood knows about their family's affairs, so they just lied to you young people who came from afar."
"I see. Thank you. I will persuade my sister to think about it carefully."
After He Shen thanked them, he turned around and called the owner of the house.
"Hello, I want to buy a house, can I see the house?"
The original owner of Unit 401 was indeed anxious to sell the house, so he rushed over as soon as possible. However, when he found out that He Shen was very young and looked like a college student, and did not look like a home buyer, he immediately showed hesitation.
"You want to buy a house?"
He Shen repeated his previous explanation: "My sister wants to buy a house, so I came to check it out for her and take some photos and videos for her."
Seeing He Shen's sincere expression, the owner finally took out the key, opened the door, and led He Shen in.
He Shen took out his phone and asked the owner while recording the video: "Did you hire someone to clean the place before?"
The owner thought He Shen wanted to show the video to his "sister", so he didn't stop him: "Not yet, I didn't find anyone to clean it because it wasn't very dirty. If you need me to, I can find someone to clean it right away."
"Not for now, it's quite clean." He Shen used his mobile phone to record every detail in the house, preparing to zoom in and take a closer look after returning.
Room 401 is clean and tidy, and doesn't look like a place where a single father lives with his daughter.
But soon, He Shen discovered something wrong because the house was too clean.
There is almost no trace of life.
He Shen had keen observation skills and noticed many strange things at a glance. For example, there were neither flowers nor water in the vase in the living room, no dishes or water stains in the kitchen sink, and no garbage or even a hair on the floor.
Rather than a house where people have lived, this place is more like a hotel or a model house. Even a hotel couldn't clean it so cleanly.
That's why He Shen tentatively asked the owner if he had cleaned the house, but got a negative answer.
Since the owner didn't hire anyone to clean the house, there was only one possibility: someone sneaked into the house and cleaned everywhere.
This is obviously not reasonable. Hu Jiawei is just a driver. What is the value of the house he lived in that is worthy of someone sneaking into?
He Shen was thinking while recording the video. Room 401 had two bedrooms and a living room. He walked into one of the rooms. The room was simple and clean. Judging from the color of the curtains and bed sheets, the original owner of the room should be a girl.
But the original owner did not leave any personal belongings or personal traces, not even small odds and ends like hairbands, mobile phone cases, and water cups.
When I opened the closet, it was empty, without even a single piece of clothing.
It is impossible to move so cleanly even when moving, not to mention that the original owner was not moving but was hospitalized.
Will I not have any clothes left when I'm in the hospital?
Unless the original owner knows that he will never come back.
He Shen looked at another room, which was also equally clean. Apart from large pieces of furniture, there were no personal belongings or traces of life left.
In other words, there were no useful clues.
He was sure someone had been here before him and cleaned something up.
Unreasonable and expected.
Although Hu Jiawei's apparent identity was just a driver, his death involved a lot of things.
He Shen didn't believe that it was just a coincidence that Hu Jiawei's daughter died shortly after his death.
"Overall, the house feels pretty good. I'll ask my sister to think about it carefully." After He Shen finished recording the video, he put away his phone and smiled at the owner.
When he left 401, he looked up at the surveillance cameras around him and asked the owner casually, "Is there no surveillance here?"
The owner said: "This community is very old and has never been equipped with surveillance. But don't worry, the security in this area is very good. There is a police station next to it..."
He Shen nodded: "Is that so? Then can I ask the previous tenant why he didn't rent it?"
It’s a pity that I can’t ask Jian Keyi to adjust the surveillance.
The owner began to talk about other things: "He moved away. Although he has lived here for a long time, it is normal for him to move away. I wanted to sell the house to him before, but his daughter's illness seemed to have cost him a lot of money..."
He Shen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell my sister when I get back."
As soon as he walked out of the community, he sent a text message to Jian Keyi: "Help me check Hu Jiawei and his daughter."
Jian Keyi replied immediately: "Do you consider me as your exclusive customer service?"
Despite this, a moment later, Jian Keyi sent the personal information of Hu Jiawei's daughter.
Hu Xiaoting is a freshman at Ningcheng University.
He suffered from severe heart disease and died during a rescue operation two days ago.
