Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

The three of them returned to the research institute, because Wu Ting said before that the case of Shen Qiming's family was not over yet, so Lin Mian didn't write a report for the time being, and just wrote down what happened today in a memo for later arrangement.

After a night's rest, the next morning, while they were eating breakfast, they received a call from the owner of the manor.

"Here it comes again, that laughter, it's coming again!" Shen Qiming's voice was as high as a screaming chicken, and his tone was full of panic.

"Hasn't the ghost energy been eliminated?"

Lin Mian didn't believe in Xuanjizi, but believed in Xushan, especially after knowing his and Bian Changfeng's identities, he didn't doubt what he said, but yesterday Xushan also confirmed that there was no ghost in the manor, so what Shen Qiming heard in the middle of the night What about laughter?

"Go and have a look first." Wu Ting looked very calm, Lin Mian nodded.

The three soon set off again.

This time Shen Qiming was standing directly outside the iron fence door waiting for them, his face was pale, there were two big bruises under his eyes, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, he seemed to be in a very bad mood, he hadn't seen him all night, It seems to have lost weight.

Bian Changfeng, Xushan and Xuanjizi's master and apprentice also arrived not long after, the latter said immediately when he saw Shen Qiming: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Then before Shen Qiming could react, he took the lead to trot into the villa, took out the compass, and when he saw the pointer spinning around, his expression changed instantly: "Hey, what's going on here? Why are you more ghostly than yesterday? !"

Xu Shan also frowned: "It's really heavy."

If the ghost aura in the living room when they came yesterday was compared to mist, then the ghost aura in his eyes now is as thick as haze.

"If Mr. Shen doesn't mind, we want to take a look at other places in the manor." Wu Ting touched his chin and said.

"I don't mind, I don't mind." Shen Qiming waved his hands again and again, and then followed the group of people step by step. He didn't dare to stay alone in the manor now, so it was better during the day, and he just wanted to run to the hotel after dark.

Relying on the presence of his master, Zhang Maocai didn't feel afraid at all, and walked in the front with arrogance and arrogance.

The living room was clear at a glance, and there was nothing strange about it. The kitchen was to the north. Lin Mian saw the big rooster squatting in the corner with its eyes closed, and was so shocked that it almost flew off the spot.

You are still here! !

He observed from a distance for a while, and saw that the other party had not acted aggressively, so he retreated cautiously.

Wu Ting saw his every move and felt very heavy.

Sharp mouth phobia... Looking back, think about whether there is a way to overcome it, otherwise even if he and Lin Mian are together one day, it will become a great hidden danger.

There are housekeeping rooms and nanny's rooms on the first floor. Bian Changfeng strolled around, but also saw nothing unusual, so they went to the second floor.

It has only been a week since Shen's father bought the manor, and he hasn't had time to redecorate it. Many furniture and furnishings inside the villa have been damaged to some extent after long years of erosion.

For example, the wooden stairs under their feet will make a creaking sound when they step on it. Some people like this tone. It may be nothing to enjoy the retro charm, but for most people, it adds a bit of aura.

Lin Mian touched the inexplicable goosebumps on her forearm, her eyes fixed on Wu Ting's back in front of her, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by three or four degrees. Lin Mian was naturally afraid of heat, so he obviously felt it, but he didn't feel comfortable, instead he felt uncomfortable all over.

The corridor was a little dark, Xu Shan found the switch on the wall—Shen Qiming was trembling in the middle of the team, he had long forgotten his identity as the master—turned on the overhead light, and the dim light shone down, allowing them to see clearly scene.

There are several rooms on the second floor. Except for the outermost master bedroom, the door is ajar, and the other rooms are locked.

Lin Mian noticed that there were decorative paintings hanging on the walls on both sides at regular intervals.

It is the kind of oil painting with figures and scenery.

Different from the mass-produced commercial paintings bought in shops or Taobao, these paintings are full of life and more humane.

For example, in one, four children are playing on the grass, and next to them is a woman, perhaps their mother, sitting gracefully on a picnic mat and watching with a smile.

Sensing Lin Mian's gaze, Shen Qiming wiped the sweat off his neck with a handkerchief, and said with lingering fear, "Assistant Lin, it's best not to stare at them, these paintings are very evil."

Lin Mian remembered what he said yesterday that the girl's laughter would come from the painting at night, so she asked where the painting was.

Shen Qiming's body trembled when he heard the words, then he gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "You all come with me."

After he finished speaking, he dillydally walked towards the master bedroom.

The decoration of the master bedroom is also very luxurious, full of the taste of the Republic of China. There is a solid wood high bed in the middle, and the curtains are all edged with lace.

There is no TV set in the room, so the painting Shen Qiming was talking about was placed on the TV cabinet as a decoration, it was quite big, half the height of a person.

Because Shen Qiming said that he heard laughter, Lin Mian thought that he might see a little girl in the painting, but it turned out not to be.

It was a very ordinary-looking still life painting, depicting a corner of the room, with a few dolls and a beautiful glass vase on the mahogany chest of drawers, with a bouquet of pure white briars stuck in the vase.

"Is this the only painting?" Zhang Maocai picked up the painting loudly, looked at it over and over again, and muttered, "It's nothing special..."

Wu Ting stretched out his hand and wiped the canvas with his fingertips. Seeing this, Lin Mian touched it lightly, and found that the temperature on the surface of the canvas was lower than that in the room, just like taking it out of the freezer. the average.

"This painting and those on the corridor are left by the original owner of the manor. My dad thinks the content is warm and comfortable, and it has been worth collecting for almost a hundred years, so he didn't remove them and replace them with new ones." Shen Qimingbian Explain while walking out.

"Open the other rooms and have a look." Bian Changfeng put his elbow on Xushan's shoulder, and said to Shen Qiming like a second uncle.

Shen Qiming was a little embarrassed: "Those rooms are unoccupied, and I don't know where the keys are. I have to call my dad and ask."

After speaking, he prepared to take everyone downstairs.

"Does this villa have a third floor?" Lin Mian glanced at it from a distance in the car, remembering that the villa has more than two floors.

Shen Qiming nodded: "There is still an attic, but it was sealed up when I bought it, do you want to go up and have a look?"

Lin Mian went to see Wu Ting, who took a long leg and showed his intentions with practical actions.

"What's so interesting if it's all sealed..." Zhang Maocai muttered, and was suddenly slapped on the back of the head by Xuanjizi.

"Stinky boy, shut up!" Although Xuanjizi is only half a bucket of water, he has spent most of his life in Hong Kong Island's mystical circle, and he has seen a lot.

The reappearance of the ghostly aura, the uncomfortable second floor, the laughter coming from the painting in the middle of the night, and the inexplicably sealed attic, all of these together made him feel that something was wrong.

There is probably some big secret hidden in this manor. If he helps Shen Qiming settle this strange incident, not only will he be able to go back to Hong Kong Island to brag for a while, but the mainland market may also be opened up, killing two birds with one stone.

There is a popular saying in the Xuanshu circle that no matter how powerful a Taoist priest is, he will be rewarded by God, otherwise, if he has not solved one or two major cases, no matter how skilled he is, others will not trust you, and his reputation will be difficult to gain.

He got his current position only after accidentally smashing through a certain shady Feng Shui bureau more than [-] years ago, and there has been no new highlight moment since then.

With the development of the times, the older generation of rich people in Hong Kong Island have retreated to the second line, and the younger generation is not as superstitious about the so-called Feng Shui metaphysics as before.

It is becoming more and more difficult for "mysterious art masters" like Xuanjizi to make money. Many colleagues have taken the express train of live broadcasting and set up forums. Although they are not too bad, they are not as glamorous as they used to be.Therefore, he came to the mainland this time to try his luck. Unexpectedly, God really began to favor him again.

A gleam of joy flashed across Xuanjizi's chubby face.

The attic on the third floor was indeed sealed. A wall was built where the door used to be. Lin Mian tried to push it, but it didn't move.

"Is there a ghost here too?" Shen Qiming asked cautiously while huddling among the crowd.

Bian Changfeng smiled and said: "Your manor is full of ghosts now, so what do you say?"

Shen Qiming's face instantly became paler.

"If you don't want to be unable to sleep at night in the future, I advise you to find someone to break down this wall." Bian Changfeng put his hands in his pockets after speaking, and followed Xushan downstairs swaggeringly.
