13 Dummy Model
$299 is definitely a lot of money, especially for a place like Dock.Maine and Mississippi, where Chi Heng came from, are both very poor states. Unlike California and New York, where rich people are everywhere, Maine's per capita GDP was more than 2.7 US dollars last year, which is a level that can only be achieved by the capital region. Like Dock, most people earn between $1200 and $1500 a month.

After deducting essential living expenses such as insurance, there is very little disposable expenses left.

Therefore, when looking at the living standards of the people, we should not look at the per capita GDP, but the per capita median income. Last year, the median income in the United States was 23214 US dollars, and the monthly median per capita income was 1934 US dollars.

In Maine, the median income is around $1500.

Therefore, many people may not be able to spend $200 in cash at the end of the month. Buying a second-hand PDA for $299 is crazy for many families.

It can be seen that the nearly one hundred thousand dollars in cash left to him by the old uncle is such a large fortune.

"too expensive!"

Chi Heng refused: "You said that it has been on the market for two years, and it is still second-hand."

"How much can you give?"

"$150."

"No, it's impossible, it's too little," the young man shook his head, "250 dollars."

"$250? Do you think at that price, I mean, do you think anyone will buy it at this price?"

Chi Heng persuaded: "Instead of leaving it here to eat ashes, you should take this opportunity to sell it to me, otherwise, no matter how valuable your PDA is, it is worthless. You don't think that your ordinary PDA will become more valuable as time goes by. The more valuable it is, right? Dude, this is not an antique!"

The words were very level, the young man twitched his cheeks a few times, and said reluctantly: "200 US dollars, this is the lowest price."

"make a deal."

Chi Heng saw that the young man would not be willing to continue to lower the price, so he readily took out his wallet to pay the bill.

It's only been a day, and there is not much cash left in his wallet.

The young man quickly put the PDA in the packing box and handed it to Chi Heng. His eyes inadvertently stopped at the electronic watch on Chi Heng's left wrist, and he said "Huh", "Sir, can I see your watch?"

"what happened?"

Chi Heng withdrew his hand calmly.

"Your watch looks beautiful."

The young man stared at Chi Heng's watch suspiciously, always feeling a little strange.

"Thank you, you have a good eye, sorry, I still have something to do."

Without giving the young man a chance to continue talking, Chi Heng quickly walked out with the packing box.

"Strange, that watch..."

After Chi Heng left for a long time, the young man was still thinking about it. Suddenly, he recalled that something was wrong, "Why is his quartz watch still so clearly visible in the store?"

The lighting in the store can't be compared with the outside, not to mention that it's almost dusk, but the quartz watch looks as clear as it is under the sun.

……

……

When Chi Heng got into the car, he suddenly felt that the camouflage of this electronic watch was ignored during the day, but it might be exposed immediately at night.

Also, in a dark environment, it will also reveal its secrets, because this constant display function, although it can be disguised as a quartz watch, but in the final analysis, the principle is that the dial screen glows, and it can only be set to automatically turn off at night for the time being.

But perhaps it will still be noticed.

If you take it off and put it in your trouser pocket, Chi Heng is afraid of losing it again, so it can be said that he is worrying about gains and losses.

"Find a rope to hang it on your chest?"

Chi Heng thought about it, and after autumn, there is nothing to be afraid of being covered by sleeves, and now it can only be concealed in this way for the time being.

After casually eating some bread, Chi Heng drove the pickup to refuel first, and then headed towards the old house.

If it is said that Lake Shea is just a little dark during the day, then at night, Chi Heng finally understands why the people in the town say that it is haunted and they don’t want to come here, because it is indeed very gloomy, and there is no lighting along the way. The pickup truck wobbled on the bad road, and all the surrounding woods seemed to be gnawing at the pickup truck in the middle like a monster.

Chi Heng bit the bullet and drove forward, and didn't dare to drive too fast, for fear of encountering a car accident on this bad road. During the day, the journey was nearly half an hour, and at night, he drove for almost an hour before arriving at the old house.

When he arrived at the old house, he looked up and gasped. The dilapidated old house he saw during the day was gloomy and dark at night, with a very gloomy sense of prey.

There is no need to say that this is a haunted house, just look at the appearance, how much courage do you have to dare to live in?
If it wasn't for Chi Heng seeing the secret of the basement when he came during the day, he might have retreated at this time.

"Fortunately, I came during the day. If I came at night, I'm afraid I don't have the courage to step in, so I turned around and left."

Chi Heng smiled wryly, in that case, he would not be able to know the old uncle's secret.

After getting out of the car, Chi Heng took the flashlight and started to carry the goods, let alone those heavy goods, the main thing is to carry the sheets and bed into the basement first, "I forgot to take the PDA."

After carrying the sheets and bed into the basement at once, Chi Heng remembered that the PDA was still on the passenger seat, so he went up again, ready to go for the second time.

After successfully opening the car door, Chi Heng slapped his head, how could he forget the most important cash!

At this moment, it was obvious that nearly one hundred thousand dollars of cash could not be stored in the car any longer. It had to be stored in the basement, which was the safest place.

One hundred thousand dollars seems like a lot, but in fact it can be carried in a backpack. Chi Heng also put the PDA packing fee in by the way, and walked into the house with the backpack.

Just inadvertently, his flashlight shone in the direction of the living room, leaving a shadow behind.

In an instant, Chi Heng, who had calmed down a lot, felt his scalp go numb again. How could there be anyone here?

The flashlight that had just been swept over immediately turned around and aimed at the figure that it just swept over... It was a bright white area. It turned out that the so-called figure was not a real person, but a dummy model.

"Damn it, scare me!"

Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was really scared to death just now, and he thought someone was standing in the living room.

Hey, isn't it?
Isn't the mannequin in the room on the third floor?

Why did you come to the living room?

Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and took another breath. The flashlight shone firmly on the dummy mannequin. It happened that the dummy mannequin was also facing his line of sight, with a fake smile artificially molded on his face, which looked particularly creepy. .

His first thought was that thieves had entered the old house!

Chi Heng held the flashlight tightly, and quietly came to the door of the basement, opened the iron door, walked into the lifting platform, went down to the basement, and couldn't wait to go to the room to take out the "Red Dragon".

Although this gun seems strange, there is no doubt that the bullets of this gun are yellow and orange, so there will be no problem in defense.
