Chapter 1

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the street-facing pavement of the newly built community, and the brand-new "Universal Detective Agency" on the plaque seemed to be shining.

A low-key luxury car was parked on the street in front of the door, two men in suits and leather shoes came down, one opened the back door of the car, the other put the top of the car door respectfully, and invited a white-haired half-centenarian with a cane to come down , the seemingly ordinary casual clothes fit the body everywhere, and it looks like a tailor-made luxury product.

This person walked into the Universal Detective Agency slowly. Two men in suits stood at the door, posing a standard no-entry attitude, which attracted the frequent glances of passers-by.

In the office.Tengyao didn't give too much preferential treatment because of the ostentation, and a box of soy milk that has never been seen on the market is regarded as entertainment.The person who came to look at the soy milk frowned. There was not even a straw on the box, which made it clear that he didn't want people to drink it.Although he doesn't want to drink this stuff either.

"There are scissors on the table, and you can drink it by cutting off the corner," Teng Yao explained without looking up at the information in his hand, "Environmental protection and health preservation are delicious, I suggest you try it."

The visitor looked at Tengyao and at the soy milk on the table, took a pair of scissors, cut open the package, and took a sip.The pure bean fragrance combined with the smoothness of milk miraculously soothed his inner anxiety, and he couldn't help but take two more sips.

Seeing that the visitor's frowning relaxed, Teng Yao put down the materials, smiled politely, and the room seemed to be a little brighter.

The visitor was slightly stunned. He had been in the mall for many years, and he had never seen any kind of person, high-spirited, miserable, superior, low-key, but this young man in his early twenties in front of him was the only one in front of him. He searched his guts and couldn't think of an appropriate word to sum it up.If you have to describe it, probably only "brilliant and dazzling" is barely worthy of it, not because of his appearance-his appearance is also very outstanding-but with his calm and relaxed, the whole person seems to be shining Compared with the aura, the appearance is not so eye-catching.

The last anxiety in his heart dissipated in the slight smile on the corner of Teng Yao's mouth.

"Mr. Teng, I was introduced by Boss Wang. He said he called you." The visitor unconsciously used honorifics.

"So you are Boss Liu," Tengyao waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite, just ask if you have any entrustment."

"Then I won't be polite to you," Boss Liu sighed, "It's not the prodigal son of my family. He doesn't think it's enough for him to squander the tens of thousands of wealth I earned. He insists on going to some wild building in the middle of the night to explore. , As a result, as a result... oh."

Boss Liu’s only son, Liu Zhiye, has just turned [-], and is currently doing gilding at the famous Pheasant University abroad. It’s summer vacation, and the first thing Liu Zhiye does when he comes back is to invite his friends to the bar for fun. Later, I don’t know who proposed to explore the wild building , A group of drunk people went there, and no one would have thought that something would happen during this trip.

"The waiter at the bar said that there were six of them when they left. Besides my son, there were two men and three women. I have confirmed their identities and contacted their families. They are all just like my son, crazy, even Parents can't even recognize each other." Boss Liu's Sichuan character between his brows seems to have penetrated into his bones, making this man who usually pays attention to maintenance look much older.

Teng Yao tapped a few times on the keyboard with his slender fingers, without asking any questions or comforting him.

Boss Liu slowed down for a while, and continued: "The hospital suggested transferring to a psychiatric hospital for further treatment, but my Liu family is a respectable family, how could I send my son to that kind of place. I entrusted a lot of money to hire a psychiatrist from abroad Experts, experts say that we must first find out what stimuli they encountered before the accident, so that we can carry out targeted treatment. To be honest, I asked two detectives to investigate before I came here, and one of them refused to say anything after going there Accepting my commission, the other one has not been seen and cannot be contacted, I really have no choice..."

Teng Yao suddenly interrupted him: "The wild building you are talking about is the old castle-style building in the old city east of the city, which occupies ten acres of land."

Boss Liu nodded and tapped his fingers on the table twice. Boss Liu's cloudy eyes stared at the ups and downs of his fingers, as if it was a verdict that decided his son's life or death.

"I'll accept this commission." Tengyao stopped his movements, with that seemingly bright but professional smile on his face again, "But according to what Boss Liu said, this commission seems to be dangerous, so in terms of price..."

Boss Liu immediately took out a filled check from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to Tengyao's desk: "This is the deposit. If the truth about my son's accident can be found out, the final payment will be ten times the deposit."

Teng Yao casually glanced at the check, it was a number that satisfied him.

"Within three days, I will reply to you whether it is successful or not. If nothing can be found out, I will refund all the deposit."

Teng Yao made a "please" gesture, Boss Liu got up immediately to leave, and hurried away with his people.

It wasn't until Boss Liu and the others could no longer be seen that Teng Yao turned his gaze back to the computer. The web page displayed Chengdong Wild Building, and the related entries were nothing more than dead or haunted.

"Haunted commission," Tengyao's smile was more eye-catching than the sunset glow reflected on his face, "it's much more interesting than catching mistresses and looking for cats and dogs."

In the quiet night, the crooked moon hangs high in the sky. Against the backdrop of the soft moonlight, the sky is filled with stars shining brightly. This is a rare clear night. Clouds drift by from time to time. blown away.

The zero o'clock bell rang on time, and suddenly there was a strong wind, and the clouds that had scattered somewhere came back layer by layer, making the night sky look lower and lower, the stars and the moon were covered in light in an instant, and the earth fell into the sky. In the darkness without five fingers, the muffled rumbling sound exploded, and the torrential rain poured down.

On the narrow and messy streets of the old city, a cluster of bright lights pierced the dark, and the fine raindrops the size of beans could not hide, crackling so thrillingly.The black to glowing heavy locomotive galloped past, splashing water cheered and flew into the air, warmly embraced the companions who were about to join, and then returned to the ground together.The sound of the locomotive gradually faded away, and was finally completely covered by the sound of crashing rain.

The entrance of a remote and quiet old villa.

The heavy locomotive flicked its tail beautifully, and stopped firmly in front of the mottled iron gate. A shiny black leather boot stepped on the water to support the body. Teng Yao, dressed in black leather, looked at the dark villa standing in the rainy night, Shake the water off the clear raincoat, quickly remove the helmet, and put on the raincoat hood.The broken hair on his forehead was stained with a little rain, he shook it without hesitation, parked the motorcycle, and strode towards the villa.

This castle-style three-story building has a spacious courtyard at the front and back. The walls of the courtyard are as high as two meters, which isolates this small world from the world. Take a peek inside.

The rain became more and more urgent, and the thin plastic raincoat was overwhelmed. Teng Yao had to support the brim of the hat with his hands to prevent the rain from directly hitting his face.Even so, he still had to squint his eyes, and his vision was even blurred in the poor lighting environment.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide because he saw a small white object suddenly appearing in the yard and moving slowly.

what is that?

Teng Yao tried hard to see clearly, but he was powerless, he could only tell that the thing did not look like a human.

The white shadow disappeared in a flash, which seemed to prove that the haunted house was not a lie.

In the middle of the night when the rain was pouring, anyone who saw this scene would be gutted. The first detective entrusted by Boss Liu was scared away by this ghostly shadow.When Teng Yao dug out this clue from the detective, he really didn't pay much attention to it. He has been to many haunted places, but in the end it was either people's hearsay or man-made pranks. He couldn't tell if there were ghosts in the world, but He knew that it was not easy for a living person to want to see a ghost.

Seeing it with my own eyes at this moment, he was actually a little excited after a short period of astonishment. It is said that the probability of seeing a ghost is lower than winning the first prize when buying a lottery ticket for the first time. The reason for Liu Zhiye's madness can be figured out at night.Thinking about the string of zeros on the check, Teng Yao's eyes became brighter. He looked around and saw that there were a few bumps on the wall next to the iron gate, suitable for climbing.

It is said on the Internet that the first owner of this mansion suffered an air crash before he could move in, and none of the family survived. Later, the house was handed over to distant relatives, and the whole family died within two months of moving in.Such a magnificent mansion has a more ominous reputation than a famous one, and the public jokingly calls it a wild building——

Standing in the city, no one dares to approach, it is really a building in the wilderness.

It is a mystery who owns the wild building today, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that no one lives here.

Teng Yao, who landed lightly, hadn't straightened up before he was sprayed all over his head and face by the splashing water from the puddle. He subconsciously closed his eyes, and the white shadow reappeared in the residual image in his eyes.

Teng Yao didn't dare to push him too hard, he wiped his face and stood up against the wall, and when he opened his eyes again, he was fully alert.However, as the white shadow approached, Tengyao couldn't believe his eyes——

Is that...a penguin?

Five meters away, a doll-sized penguin tilted its head and looked at Teng Yao fiercely, as if he couldn't figure out how this person came out.Its white belly is so conspicuous in the dark, but when it turns around, the black on its back and wings perfectly hides it in the dark. Looking at it in this starless, moonless and rainy night, it is really weird Inexplicable.

Is this the ghost of the wild building?

Teng Yao took a few steps forward, dumbfounded, and waved to the chubby penguin: "Come here, let my brother have a look."

The penguin seemed to be frightened by his actions. Its short legs fell back hard, and its foot plate was not stable enough. It fell into the puddle abruptly. All stained.

Teng Yao stretched out his hand to help, but the little penguin struggled even more frantically. When the two were about to touch each other, a sharp flash struck the sky.

The smile on Teng Yao's face froze instantly, besides the little penguin and his reflection, there was also an elongated shadow on the ground in front of him.

The main body of the shadow is behind him.
