The only reason to get things is an excuse, we just want Chen Jun to come.
The trouble with the dead person's clothes and glasses is enough; adding another would only complicate things and lead to more problems.
Yang Guan did not go to move, he naturally knows the severity of the situation.
"I don't need anything." I took the lead in speaking up.
Chen Jun's expression was one of shock, and his eyes flickered uneasily.
"However, I want to know where the owner of these things lives, and please take us to see them." I added after that.
Chen Jun's expression was very unnatural. He took a deep breath and said, "His family gave me all his belongings. The things in the box are the last one... They don't want to see outsiders either. Since the price was a matter of mutual agreement between you and me, if both of you think the price was too high last time, this time, we can have another discussion and consider a discount, isn't that right?"
I immediately understood that Chen Jun thought we were planning to bypass him.
After a moment of thinking, I changed my words and said, "We'll leave the items here. We'll pay the quoted price without any problem. However, there is a condition: I want to know about the deceased person's affairs. When did he die? And where is his body?"
After I finished speaking, Chen Jun's expression did not ease up but became more tense.
"What do you want to do?"
Yang Guan coughed once and stressed the tone a little, "You're in the business of buying and selling. As long as we give you money, you give us what we want, such as information or messages, that's enough. Asking too many questions is not good."
For a moment, Chen Jun's forehead was drenched with sweat and he didn't speak.
At this moment, the shop owner Hu Jiang, giving a pat on Chen Jun's elbow, urged him, "Mr. Yang is talking to you, why don't you respond?"
Chen Jun's face turned pale again, and he shook his head, saying, "That place has been abandoned long ago. I advise you not to go there. That place is not just strange."
Chen Jun opened up and poured out many things.
Twenty years ago, there was a Siuhua County to the east of JinYang City, which is now designated as Siuhua District.
At the location of the former county suburbs, there was a mental hospital that took in a large number of patients.
One day, the hospital began to be haunted by ghosts, and patients started to disappear mysteriously. Even worse, there were reports of patients killing other patients!
Several nurses and nursing assistants went crazy one after another, gradually resigned, leaving only the hospital director as the sole commander.
The hospital director was diligent in his work. Despite the strange happenings in the hospital, he still fulfilled his duties.
But suddenly one day, a family went to the police station to report that the hospital director had some issues.
It turned out that the family had sent a patient to the hospital, and when it was time for discharge, they wanted to pick up their relative, but the director kept refusing, saying the person was not yet recovered.
That family was worried that the patient might disappear or experience other problems, so even if the person wasn't fully recovered, they still wanted to take them out.
The hospital director directly kicked them out of the hospital.
The next day, the patient had disappeared.
The police investigated, but they couldn't find any problems. The hospital director answered everything logically.
However, an old criminal investigator at the time thought that no problem was the biggest problem.
Furthermore, there were no widespread surveillance cameras at the time; only a few were installed at the main entrance, and the footage was not clear enough to find any other clues.
He secretly infiltrated the hospital and discovered a shocking secret.
The hospital director during the day was completely different from that at night.
The director was not resting in the staff dormitory; instead, he would enter the patient ward.
He witnessed the director injecting a patient with anesthetic and then killing them cruelly.
The old criminal investigator immediately stepped out, stopping the director.
After that, the director appeared very shocked, not knowing why he was there, and categorically denied everything he had done.
The old criminal investigator tried to arrest him, but although he was old, he was very agile because he dealt with patients every day and knew the layout of the hospital well. He managed to escape.
The next day, the old criminal investigator brought along a number of police officers to catch the director.
However, they searched the entire hospital and couldn't find the director.
Even all the remaining patients in the hospital disappeared.
This incident caused quite a stir at the time.
Three days later, someone found the director hanging from the window in his own office.
To this day, this case remains unsolved.
Nobody could trace where the missing patients had gone.
In other words, there were no bodies to be found.
Due to the testimony of the old criminal investigator, it was enough to prove that the director was a murderer.
The wife, children, and relatives of the director were also despised and shunned in the local area due to this incident. They had to sell their house and move.
Even later, they suffered retribution with family members falling ill frequently and living in poverty.
Twenty years have passed, and the son of the director is now in his sixties and seventies. He has cancer, and his own children are not filial. No one cares for him, so he has to keep selling family things to barely make ends meet.
At this point, Chen Jun paused and then continued, "I have heard that some bold people have gone into that hospital to break the feudal system. What happened afterwards? They either disappeared completely or came out of there in a dazed state of mind."
"I do business with them because of two reasons: one is that there is a scarcity of such goods, and the other is that I feel pity for the old man."
Chen Jun sighed again and remained silent.
The old man he mentioned was, of course, the director's son.
Hu Jiang had already moved a box of goods to sit next to Chen Jun so as not to have to hunch over.
His long face was tense, and his narrow eyes were filled with unease.
Although Chen Jun had mentioned a lot of things, they weren't particularly complex, and I could pretty much grasp them.
I didn't expect the old man in the suit to commit suicide in a mental hospital...
And then I recall my dreams, the narrow hallway, the cramped and dark room, the cabinet standing upright against the wall...
Thinking about it, isn't that exactly the layout of a hospital?
Looking at Yang Guan again, he pulled his face tighter, indicating that the old ghost hadn't provided this information. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in this state.
"Never heard of a deserted and haunted mental hospital in Suizhua District," Yang Guan mumbled.
Chen Jun answered unnaturally, "That's because it's too eerie; no one wants to talk about it, and there are few visitors, so it has been forgotten."
"This pen was the director's favorite one before he passed away. The last time you bought the suit, the boss who sells Buddha's plates kept bothering me. That's why I went to find that old man and retrieved the last remaining relic."
Pausing for a moment, Chen Jun continued, "Let me mention something that shouldn't be mentioned. As the old saying goes, follow others' advice and you'll eat to your fill. Both of you, Mr. Yang and Mr. Luo, are very generous and not ordinary people. It's best to stay away from such places. After all, we have our special hobbies, but there's no need to risk our lives for thrills, isn't there?"
"Alright, how much do you want? I'll pay you and then you can leave." Yang Guan interrupted Chen Jun's words.
I frowned and didn't respond.
Chen Jun was overjoyed, giving a sign with three fingers.
After leaving the basement, Yang Guan paid on Hu Jiang's point-of-sale machine.
Afterward, Chen Jun expressed his gratitude repeatedly and left the vintage clothing store hurriedly.
Hu Jiang also received twenty thousand yuan from Yang Guan and thanked him profusely.
He continued, "Mr. Luo, if you guys like these 'horrible' things, I can also find ways. It's good that you didn't go to that hospital. In these days, safety comes first, right?"
