Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Chapter 36: Light and dark accounts

This time, Cheng Yun took the lead and divided the practitioners into two groups, and entered the rooms to enter the carpet search.

Su Zimo, Jin Lei, Bai Man, Cheng Yun, Maniac and Wan Ling with Dr. Jin are in a group, Qi Xiaomin, Du Xin, Fang Qin, Liu Xu and Xiao Huo are in a group. The fighting power looks a little uneven, but Su Zimo's group has three tow oil bottles of him, lunatic and Wan Ling, and the other group has the legendary fighting power of Xiao Huo and Liu Xu, which is also average.

Surprisingly, the madman, who has always been passively idle, was willing to get up from the paralyzed sofa and start behind the team.

Su Zimo was very interested in Cheng Yun's grouping. If Cheng Yun was a fake, he really put himself and all the people who suspected him into a group, plus the madman's understanding of mice and beasts, he almost Everyone who threatens him can be observed.

"What are we looking for?" This time, Cheng Yun asked Su Zimo.

"Captain Cheng, I don't have any experience." Su Zimo turned around, and the silver chain on the frame crossed the pale neck. "But if it is really like we just guessed, the negative slacking of the staff in the villa may not be A single case may find other clues. These clues may guide us to discover the identity of the villa owner."

"Of course, if you know who is sick in the villa, what kind of disease is that life is better." Su Zimo thought for a while, "I always feel that this patient is inseparable from the task of this nightmare world."

"Now, it seems that the family doctor may be passively idle. Doesn't it mean that others are also passively inactive?" The madman asked Su Zimo with his eyes curled up while clutching his messy hair. spirit.

Su Zimo was naturally unable to tell about the vase. After thinking about it, he said: "When there are no other clues, any reasonable guess may become a clue, isn't it?"

"Let's go take a look in the chef's room first?" Cheng Yun said, ready to open the first door in the corridor.

"Go to the housekeeper's room first." The madman's voice sounded almost at the same time as Cheng Yun.

"The servant's room is exactly the same. It is indeed the housekeeper's room that needs more searching." Jin Lei agreed with the madman's suggestion. "We have been in it once before, and there are many books scattered in it."

Su Zimo learned that Wan Ling stood behind Jin Lei together, because he found that his sense of presence in front of Cheng Yun seemed a little too high.

Cheng Yun looked at another group of people entering the gardener's room and nodded in agreement. He led the team of five people straight into the corridor and pushed open the housekeeper's door and walked in.

The housekeeper's room is bigger than the maid's big room, and also has a side balcony, which is a very high treatment in this villa. Only because the entire villa was abandoned, the bookshelf that was originally nailed to the wall fell and the books were scattered all over the place.

As soon as the madman entered the door, he opened the cabinet in the housekeeper's room, and then froze for a moment.

"What's the matter?" The others followed, and then found that a big safe was hidden in the butler's cabinet?

Because there is not a lot of modern presence in the villa, even the simplest lamps have been damaged, so the practitioners default this is a relatively long time. Although they don't know the quality of the safes of this era, the quality of the safes owned by the villa housekeeper should not be top-notch. They have become rusty over the years, and the paint on the outside has fallen off.

Only the safe door was tightly closed.

"It needs to be opened." Cheng Yun tried to manually move the safe and found that even though the appearance was already unbearable, the door was still locked.

"Captain Cheng, don't you have that one?" Bai Man kept silent to cover his emotions, but then he took the initiative to speak, "Can it be used?"

"What?" Cheng Yun froze.

A few seconds later, Cheng Yun took out a rusty and quaint key from the pocket of his jacket and said, "Is this key? This key is always working, but you can give it a try."

"..." When Cheng Yun took out the key, Bai Man's figure could not help shaking again, and even with Jin Lei's secret help standing firm, his face became pale.

[Usually stolen key (one star)]

[Price: 20]

[Description: The obsession left by a thief can open all locks that have nothing to do with ghosts. The current nightmare world is limited to one use. ]

Ordinary practitioners can't see this kind of remarks, so for them this key can only be explained by "not working when it fails". Su Zimo suddenly felt that this world really needs an excellent shopkeeper who can give ghosts "use instructions", so that all ghost users will never be confused again... cough!

Su Zimo took another look at Baiman, who was not in good condition, and felt that the lock should belong to Cheng Cheng's ghost weapon. Now he was taken out by Cheng Yun in front of him. I am afraid that Baiman has some bad associations.

"Try it first." Cheng Yun held the key in his hand, hesitated for a moment, looked at the one-star ghost device that was no different from ordinary □□, and looked at the safe with a knob-type combination lock in front of him. When the key and the lock are completely off, it seems that some people do not know how to start.

After thinking for a few seconds, Cheng Yun touched the rusty and broken combination lock with the end of the ghost key in his hand, perhaps because even the weakest one-star ghost had hidden the power of the ghost. Although the combination lock in front of me was just touched, it made a sound in the next second-

"Squeak--"

The cipher disk that needed to be twisted actually turned around without anyone touching it!

"Squeak--"

After four hard crunches, the dusty and rusty safe door "boom" popped open, and the dust and some debris flew directly to several surrounding practitioners, and Su Zimo They also finally saw what was hidden in the safe.

"What is that?" Before everyone used the light of the mobile phone to take photos of the inside of the safe, what they saw seemed to be just a sloppy black thing, which didn't look particularly precious.

"It's money." The madman just grabbed a stack of his hands, and used his mobile phone to take photos of the colorful tickets. He laughed ridiculously. "The garbage may be the best preserved thing in the entire villa. It's really irony."

"A housekeeper only, how could there be so much money?" Su Zimo looked at the old banknotes that were no longer issued in front of him. "When the money was issued, the house prices were not as outrageous as they are now. The whole villa was bought."

"Indeed, if calculated according to a stack of 10,000, there are estimated to be about two million here." Jin Lei also squatted down to look at the banknotes occupying two thirds of the space in the three-segment safe, and then his eyes lit up, "We may I have found something good. You are a blessing man, madman!"

With that said, from the last box of the safe, Jin Lei took out two leather notebooks with better preservation than the diagnostic log! Because of the light, Jin Lei and the people around him did not take a closer look, but after turning a few pages, they found that there are many things in the two notebooks, and the words are easier to recognize than any doctor's cursive.

"Let's go to the lobby!"

The practitioners kicked all the banknotes that gradually slipped out of the safe like garbage. The baby stared at the two dilapidated notebooks, and could not wait to leave the uncomfortable butler's room and ran to the hall.

For practitioners, although banknotes that are no longer issued can also be used, it takes a nightmare to take every banknote from the nightmare world.

And for Su Zimo... his desire for money is probably one of the least among all the practitioners.

After watching the team led by Cheng Yun ran back to the lobby, the trainers who were originally searching for other rooms also felt something, so they simply followed Su Zimo and they returned to the lobby, all around the long table in the middle, Looked at the two notebooks that Jin Lei was looking through at the same time.

Because the writing on the notebook is written with a black pen, it is very well preserved, so it can be read and distinguished.

"Does any of us know more about the accounts?" After looking through it for a while, Jin Lei looked up and asked the people present, "I'm dazzled."

The trainers looked at each other.

"I can see it, but unfortunately I didn't wear presbyopic glasses when I came out for the morning exercise." Mr. Fang Qin stood tired, he simply sat down with his Tai Chi sword in his hand, and then looked at Su Zimo and said, "Mr. Su should be able, Let him see?"

"..." Su Zimo hadn't said anything, he saw two notebooks being pushed in front of him, and Jin Lei also made a gesture of cheering on him.

"Slightly learned a little." Su Zimo rubbed his temples and set his eyes on the two open notebooks.

Jin Lei is right, most of the two notebooks are accounts, which record the daily expenditures of this villa in that year, and...the family of these decades ago, the daily water flow is even comparable to that of Su. The daily expenses of the family now-In the few days when he took over the affairs of the Su family, Su Zimo stayed up and looked at all kinds of accounts at an unimaginable speed.

It's just that this kind of account written entirely on an ordinary notebook is not professional. In fact, no professional is needed to see it. Even if Su Zimo does not read it, he can understand it if he changes it carefully.

After reading the two notes one by one, Su Zimo once again found a breakthrough from the date of the account, and opened the two notebooks on the table at the same time, starting from the first page and making a detailed comparison.

"In fact, this is just an ordinary account book. You can see it if you look closely. However, these two account books cannot be viewed separately. You need to put two books together." Su Zimo pushed the two notebooks to the middle of the dining table. "From Starting from the first page, the date of each page is the same, but the recorded account flow is completely different."

"Most of the notebooks on the left are relatively normal household expenses, that is, there is a more "medical special" item than ordinary running water, and the expenditure of this item is not small." Su Zimo said, pointing to the right. "This notebook on the right has some weird items."

"For example, this "cosmetics (maid)", "baijiu (chef)" and "snacks" are all expenses that are not on the left notebook, but these weird expenses add up to happen to be the "medical special" item on the left. Spending." Su Zimo said, paused, and continued to ask, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Bright and dark account book." Mr. Fang Qin sat there, holding a Taiji sword with emotion.

"Bright and dark ledger?" Du Xin and Qi Xiaomin looked confused.

"This is a clear book on the left, mainly used for others to see and check, so you can't use any problems, every project must be well-formed." Fang Qin master smiled, "the right is a dark book, which is this building The real ledger of the villa is just because there are too many out of sight people's expenses, so it needs to be well hidden and cannot be seen by the inspectors."

"From the perspective of these two books, I just moved some small hands and feet at the beginning, and I became more and more daring at the back." Su Zimo turned the two books directly to the back. "That's right here. The doctor's request was to advance a'medical special' payment, but the dark account book read'Car purchase needs (me)'."

"Butler wants to buy a car?"

"It was just rejected." Su Zimo turned another page. "I can see that this housekeeper is not happy. After knowing that the advance payment was rejected, the pen has poked out the holes. From the beginning to now, The expenditure on the “special medical care” project is getting bigger and bigger, and this advance payment may have exceeded the willingness of the paying party."

"The paying party should be the owner of the villa. Do they never find that there is a problem with their family expenses?" Jin Lei narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "Unless...the owner of this villa doesn't live here at all!" "

The owner of the villa does not live in the villa?

Jin Lei made a new guess.

"It's not surprising that people who can afford such a villa will not own only one property." Su Zimo also thought for a moment, "But this villa is not empty, except for family doctors and those There must be a person living besides the next person."

"Who?"

"Of course it is the patient." Su Zimo's long fingers fell on the words "medical special".
