I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

At this moment, he was also deliberately testing the other party with words, hoping to extract some useful information from him to narrow the scope of his judgment.

At the same time, he complained to Wuying a few words in his mind, why hasn't this pouncer come yet?

Chapter 14 The Little Thoughts of the Fly

Anyway, it was idle time. Su Hao got up and followed him to the computer desk.

The staff pulled the mouse twice and turned the computer screen 22 degrees. A total of 12 room numbers were displayed on the screen, [-] of which showed that they had been rented.

"Look, this is our company's internal information. I wouldn't tell the average person that there are still 10 rooms left. Don't guests want to know about the rent and house viewing preferential policies of our Ping An Apartment?"

The two of them returned to the coffee table again. Su Hao crossed his legs and asked calmly: "How much is the rent?"

The staff member cracked a smile and said, "The monthly rent for a room is 400 Hong Kong dollars. There is no deposit. One monthly payment is accepted. There is electricity and water. Each house has an independent bathroom. The area of ​​each room is about 15 square meters. , you can live one person, two people, or even three people in each room. In short, it’s up to you whether you’re a human or a ghost.”

"How about it? Is our policy flexible enough?"

Su Hao was surprised to capture one of the key pieces of information, "Why is the monthly rent only 400 Hong Kong dollars?"

You must know that this is the Kowloon City District of the Kowloon Peninsula. Most of the population of Hong Kong Island is concentrated on the peninsula. The population is quite dense. Of course, the rent is not cheap.

For the one-bedroom, one-living low-rent house that Su Hao currently rents, the monthly rent is more than 1000, and this is even with government subsidies.

There is definitely no rental subsidy for this kind of commercial apartment. In comparison, a single room at HKD 400 per month is slightly cheaper.

The staff continued to explain with a flattering smile: "The decoration equipment in our apartment is a little bit old, and the environment is a little bad, so it can only be so cheap. How about I take the guests up to have a look now?"

"No, I came here today just to ask questions."

After Su Hao finished speaking, he was ready to go out.

He felt that this staff member was quite tight-lipped and couldn't get anything out of him.

The staff behind him immediately took a stack of business cards from the computer table, pulled out one and handed it to Su Hao, "This is my work card. My name is Zhang Wuwa. How many years older are you, you can also call me Wu Zai or Ah Wu, if you need anything later, remember to contact me."

Su Hao took the business card and glanced at it, then opened the door and came outside.

He saw two figures in jackets and jeans gathering together with their backs to him, whispering furtively, occasionally looking up at the street.

Who else is it if it’s not Wuying and Assi?

This attack actually made me wait for him.

Su Hao cursed in his heart and quietly leaned in from behind.

When they got closer, they heard that the content of the conversation between these two guys was actually related to him.

Axi: "Brother, I didn't see the note from yesterday here. Did we come early? Didn't we make the appointment after get off work?"

Wuying held a cigarette in the corner of his mouth and shook his head in a sly manner. He glanced back and forth at the girl passing by the roadside, "This is what my boss, Brother Hua, told me. The time has been advanced."

Axi added: "Then why don't you go to the nearby canteen and call and ask."

Wuying yelled: "I'm sorry, you don't have to pay for the phone call?"

Axi was anxious, "Brother, didn't you just get 1000 Hong Kong dollars yesterday? You don't even have money to make phone calls, right?"

Talking about this, Wuying shook his head and said, "Forget it, I went to Tony's yesterday to make a horse-and-chicken set meal and charged me 998 yuan. The grandson didn't even want to give me a 9% discount, and he still had 2 yuan left. Qian just took the bus.”

Axi was stunned for a moment, but his focus seemed to have strayed from the direction, "What kind of horse-killing chicken package costs 998? Brother, you were not killed, right?"

"You know what, that's a Yuenan girl, and she's not a local product. After all, I've made my own contribution to international exchanges. Since Tony's little brother doesn't give me face, the worst thing I can do is not patronize his store next time. ”

Axi: "What about the money for my banquet?"

After hearing this, Wuying hugged his neck, glanced left and right, and lowered his voice a little.

He warned in a ghostly manner: "Don't keep staring at the 1000 Hong Kong dollars in my hand. Just spend it. When you get the next 1000 Hong Kong dollars, I will give you 500, and you can save it first."

"Also, after a while, the tricks will be revealed, and we will follow the guy in to take a look. He spent 2000 Hong Kong dollars just to find a haunted house. I think there must be something wrong inside."

"It's definitely not for the pure pursuit of excitement and adventure. If you want excitement, you can also kill horses and kill chickens for excitement? Maybe he has some secrets to making money. We will observe it carefully in a while. When the time comes, we can kick him out and go it alone. There will be no middlemen. The price difference is the big one.”

Axi's little eyes lit up as he listened, and he nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice. He only felt that he had a lot of hope for drinking money, and he followed a good big brother.

No wonder his eldest brother's eldest brother said before that being in the world is not about shouting and killing, but the most important thing is to use your brain.

Su Hao listened to the conversation between the two behind him and felt dumbfounded. At the same time, he also reminded himself secretly that he must not underestimate the indigenous people in this world. Every indigenous person has his or her own inner thoughts. Be careful and his purpose will be exposed.

Between gaining experience and upgrading and hiding his secrets to protect himself, he obviously valued the latter more.

Su Hao took a few steps back, deliberately took out a cigarette and a lighter, and lit the cigarette with a snap. The sudden sound made the two people in front of him turn around instantly.

After discovering that it was Su Hao, Axi still felt a little guilty. He was not sure whether the conversation just now was heard by others. Wuying's psychological quality was much stronger. He came over with a smile and his mouth was much sweeter than yesterday, " Boss, we have been waiting for you for a long time. If it is verified later, do you want to cash in the remaining 1000 Hong Kong dollars?"

After speaking, the index finger and thumb of the right hand were folded together to make a rubbing gesture, which is an internationally accepted gesture.

Su Hao pointed to the entrance of the alley next to him with a sullen face, "Is this the Ping An Apartment you are talking about?"

Wu Fei glanced at the alley and nodded: "This is right here. This area is Tony's territory. Tony is a big brother of our gang. His people are familiar with this place. This safe apartment has never been clean."

Of course, Su Hao knew it was not clean. He believed in his intuition. What he needed was other more precise evidence and information.

"How do you know it's not clean? Have you been up there?"

"This……"

Wuying's face changed and he explained: "This place used to be the old site of Kowloon Walled City. It was dark inside Kowloon Walled City. I don't know how many people would die in one day. This Ping An Apartment was built near the old site of Kowloon Walled City. It's impossible to say that something was buried under the foundation. There are so many unclaimed bones, and any old man living in Kowloon City knows that weird things often happen here."

Su Hao nodded, "There is a Ping An real estate agency over there. They are responsible for this Ping An apartment. You go in and have a good communication with them and help me get a three-day free trial policy."

Wuying immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "This is easy to handle, Axi, let's go and get to work."

Su Hao continued to stand on the roadside smoking. A minute later, the sound of people dragging tables and banging on the door came from the Ping An Real Estate Agency's shop. It took another while for it to completely quiet down.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Wuwa, who had just received Su Hao, was pushed out by Wuying by twisting his arms. The myopia glasses on his face were obviously a little crooked, there was a blue scar on his nose, and his collar was not as good as before. Neat, with a fresh shoe print on the leg.

Apparently several people had a good exchange in the store.

Wicked people have their own troubles, and often those sneaky vendors like these are most afraid of the little gangsters who use their fists to reason, because fists are more effective than anything else.

Chapter 15 Good Neighbor

When Zhang Wuwa saw Su Hao, she immediately yelled: "Boss, you could have just said that you are from a gang."

The people behind him were even more convinced that Su Hao's purpose for coming here was suspicious. He just pretended to be a member of the public and didn't even wear official clothes. Isn't this just a matter of carelessness?

Are the police still responsible for catching ghosts?

He doesn't believe that the other person is just pursuing excitement and being bored.

Su Hao glanced at him. People like Zhang Wuwa did not deserve sympathy. He asked again: "Why should the elevator on the 14th floor be separated from the one below and why should a wall be built in the alley?"

Zhang Wuwa looked behind him and saw Wuying looking fierce. He swallowed his saliva and explained in a low voice: "To be honest with you, there is something unclean on the 14th floor."

"Oh, why isn't it clean?"

"You guys should know that this is the former site of the Kowloon Walled City. After it was built, it was successively rented to nearby residents. Later, some bizarre things often happened upstairs, especially around the Bon Festival on July [-]th every year. All the residents living above were scared away, so our company rented it at a low price and simply decorated it and rented it out as apartments."

Su Hao frowned, these profiteers really have no bottom line in order to make money.

"Since the upstairs is not clean, why are you still renting out 12 rooms?"

Zhang Wuwa stuck out her tongue and explained: "I didn't say that all the people living there are human beings."

"what?"

Wuying and Axi behind them couldn't help being frightened, wondering what nonsense they were talking about in broad daylight.

Zhang Wuwa quickly explained: "Actually, it's not something shameful. Those rooms were indeed rented by people for a long time. It's just that no one lived in them personally, but they used them to release their dead relatives." Urn and memorial tablet.”

"Our company also specially assigned a person to guard the soul tablets for them, who lives on it at night, and the service is considerate and considerate. This is a new business developed by our company only last year, and it is currently very popular in the market."

Su Hao felt weird after hearing this.

Renting an apartment room to store urns and spiritual tablets?

He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it based on the local conditions of Hong Kong Island, he felt it was justifiable.

Rich people can be buried in cemeteries when they die, and farmers with land can also be buried in their ancestral graves after death. It is difficult for poor people who have no land and are not farmers.

Many people on Hong Kong Island sneaked over from other places in the early years. They are typical proletarian poor people. Some people slowly took root here through their own efforts and have their own families and relatives. These family members After the death of relatives, the urns and spiritual tablets are left at home for a long time, which is why there is this abnormal rental business.

After figuring out the connection, Su Hao suddenly felt angry in his heart. The bastard profiteer, since it is a room rented to dead people, it is not clear to living people when they come to rent it. Do they plan to take it all, both dead and alive?

Let them be neighbors?

There is really no bottom line for making money.

"What you said is very good. I'll reward you with five meat pot helmets."

Su Hao swallowed back his dissatisfaction and winked at Wuying behind him. Since he spent money, he should enjoy the service he deserved.

There are some things that you don’t have to do yourself.

Wuying immediately rolled up his sleeves, turned Zhang Wuwa's body over, and slapped him five times. As he slapped him, he shouted, "This is mutton pot helmet, is it delicious? This is brown sugar pot helmet, here you go." Add some chopped green onion, this is pork pot helmet."

Even without Su Hao's orders, Wuying couldn't wait to beat this guy again.

He is a gangster, but he also has the most basic three views and principles of conduct. He will not make such unconscionable money.

"Ouch, stop it. Guys, I agree to your free trial stay for three days. Just don't hit me. I also want to make money to support my family."

Zhang Wuwa was beaten repeatedly and begged for mercy. After eating the five pot helmets, both cheeks swelled up, as if a ham had been stuffed inside.

It can be seen that these five pot helmets are not very delicious. Just now Wuying didn't hold anything back when he rewarded each other.

“How did the people in these urns up there die?”

"Are there any violent or unjust deaths?"

Su Hao was more concerned about whether it was an experience pack or a big trouble.

Zhang Wuwa wiped the blood on the corners of her lips and added: "How could I know this? I'm not from the police system, but I think there should be no unjust deaths, because our company has arrangements on the 14th floor. There are still people on duty, and he has lived well for so long without any accidents."

"Oh, your company also sends employees to live on the 14th floor?"

Su Hao continued to ask.

Zhang Wuwa said: "This is the supporting and heart-warming service we provide. What if someone comes up to steal the urn? Although this possibility is very small, in order to get those customers to pay and actively sign long-term contracts with us, we still We provide this kind of humanized service, but we cannot count it as an employee of our company. We find a homeless man from the street. He has no salary, and we only need to provide him with two packed lunches a day."

After hearing this, several people once again had the urge to beat this guy.

Really nimahei!

It's darker than Zhou Bapi.

Su Hao has already got the answer he wanted. Since there are living people on the 14th floor, it means that these dirty things are probably not very powerful ghosts.

Looking at it this way, he really found a lot of experience packs this time.

Su Hao controlled his emotions and ordered with a cold face: "Take the key and take us up to have a look."

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the 14th floor of Ping An Apartment.

The light in the corridor was quite bright, and a row of voice-activated lights hung above the head. As the elevator door opened, the voice-activated lights were turned on one after another, illuminating the dust on the ground which was particularly dazzling.

On the corridor floor covered with a thick layer of dust, there were two clear and complete lines of footsteps in the middle, extending all the way to the house at the end of the corridor.

There is a house number outside each room. Counting from the elevator entrance, the numbers are from 1 to 22, with the numbers getting smaller as you go outside.

Su Hao stared at the footsteps on the ground and asked, "Is this what your gatekeeper left behind?"

Zhang Wuwa nodded repeatedly, "But at this moment, the other party may be picking up garbage outside. He usually only comes back at night. He lives in Room 21. The room I arranged for some big bosses is Room 3 at the door. Those places where The rooms for the urns are all on the inside.”

"The light outside is also brighter. Are the bosses satisfied?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Zhang Wuwa's face when he said this. After thinking for a while, he added: "But on weekdays, there shouldn't be much going on here except for being a little spooky. But in a few days, it will be the Holy Ghost Festival. I'm worried that something strange will happen. How many times will it happen?" If you, brother, are willing to settle here, it will be enough for you to pay us 300 yuan a month for rent, but you must change places a few days before and after the Bon Festival, and come back after these few days."

Su Hao's eyes moved slightly, "Was the gatekeeper you hired here last year during the Bon Festival?"

"We hadn't rented this place during the Bon Festival last year. He only moved in a few months ago."

Su Hao suddenly noticed something unusual.

There is still one week before the Bon Festival on July [-]th, so he can leave after collecting the experience pack, which should not affect his plan.

"Okay, give me the key. You can go down. I will put the key in your front room downstairs when I leave."

Zhang Wuwa handed the key to Su Hao and ran away as if she had been granted amnesty.

Su Hao took the key to the door of Room 3 and opened the door.
