Chapter 528 Arrival at the Old House, the Client Who Seems a Bit Off

When the two vehicles arrived in Wushi Town one after the other, it was already evening.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Ellis's assistant, Tucker,

The bread truck was parked in front of an old house – 413 Apple Tree Road.

Ellis, having gotten out of the car, stood before the house filled with memories.

For a moment, I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

This is where Ellis's family of four lived when she was little.

Not far from the house is Dubender State Penitentiary.

That's in New Mexico, a prison specifically for those on death row for serious crimes.

Ellis's father was a prison guard there.

That person was also the one who brought Elizabeth the most painful memories during her childhood.

In Elizabeth's memory, her father had always been an abusive figure.

Her mother, brother, and Ellis herself all lived in the shadow of their father.

Iris has had the ability to see ghosts since she was a child, allowing her to see unclean things.

But each time, Ellis, somewhat frightened, claimed to see ghosts,

Her father would always think she was lying and would punish her physically.

Thinking of this, Ellis gently closed her eyes.

Painful childhood memories flooded back.

At this moment, Li Yuan, who had just gotten out of the car, walked over from the side.

He looked at Ellis, whose expression was pained, and asked softly:

"Mrs. Rainier, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Ellis quickly snapped out of her thoughts.

Looking at Li Yuan in front of him, he forced a smile:

"I'm fine, I just remembered some things from the past."

Then, Ellis said to Li Yuan:

"Let's go, Mr. Li Yuan, let's go see what's wrong with this house."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded slightly and prepared to follow Iris toward the house.

But just as Li Yuan subconsciously turned around and looked at the others,

To everyone's surprise, Ellis's two assistants had changed into shirts and trousers.

He looks like a federal agent...

Seeing this, Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at the two people behind him and teased them softly:

"Oh, he looks alright, at least he doesn't seem like an insurance salesman."

Tucker and Specks looked at Li Yuan, scratching their heads somewhat awkwardly:

"We think it's pretty good too; it was a gift from Ellis."

Li Yuan chuckled softly upon hearing this and guessed:

Perhaps Ellis wanted to make her team appear more professional?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan gently shook his head.

Following behind Ellis, they slowly walked towards the house in front of them.

However, just as everyone approached the porch of the old house,

The door to the old house was gently opened from the inside.

A white male wearing a baseball cap, holding a beer,

Looking at Iris standing in front of the door, she said with a gentle smile:

"Perhaps I can guess who you are."

Ellis smiled and shook her head at the man's joke, saying:

"No need to guess, Mr. Gazzar, I am Ilis."

As she spoke, Iris introduced Gazzar:

"These are my colleagues and assistants, all here to help solve the problem."

Ghazal stared blankly at the six people and one cat standing outside.

He then made a joke, his expression somewhat awkward:

"Oh, hello everyone, this is quite a big team."

Then, he pointed to the Hell Detective that Li Yuan was holding:

"The kitten is cute."

Li Yuan nodded slightly to him and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Ghazal."

Gazzar chuckled and greeted Iris and her group:

"Let's come in quickly, let's not stand outside."

Iris nodded slightly upon hearing this.

With a heart full of trepidation,

I slowly walked into the old house where I spent my childhood.

Iris, who thought she could control her emotions, suddenly realized something the moment she stepped into the old house.

Then, a strange sense of familiarity swept over my entire body.

Because at this time, the furnishings and furniture in the house

Surprisingly, nothing had changed when she left!

The sofa and decorative items remain in their original positions.

Nothing was missing, only some cobwebs and dust.

Clearly, Ghazal did not undertake any extensive renovations after purchasing the property.

Instead, it simply maintained its original appearance.

Ellis sighed softly and murmured:

"You still have all the old furniture in the house?"

"They're all here."

The homeowner, Ghazal, slowly walked in and explained to everyone:

"You know what? These are all good things, and I can't find an excuse to throw them away."

As he spoke, Ghazal looked at everyone and said earnestly:

"Outsiders may have many criticisms of my family."

But I never listened to what they said.

They all say this isn't a place for me to live.

But when I look at it, it's just a house I've always wanted.

I ignored all the rumors and bought it anyway.

At this point, Ghazal paused slightly and sighed softly:

"But now, I believe those rumors..."

Li Yuan almost burst out laughing at the landlord's words.

When buying the house, I stubbornly insisted on my own opinion.

Now that I'm in trouble, I realize how much I regret it...

At this moment, Lu came to Li Yuan's side and whispered softly in his ear:

"My lord, shall I take action?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan gently shook his head, suppressing a smile as he replied:

"Don't rush. The surface of this house is just covered in earthbound spirits; they don't have any malicious intent."

As for what happens next, just leave it to me.

Lu nodded slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on his surroundings.

However, just as Li Yuan was talking to Lu...

Ghazal's gaze, however, remained fixed on Lu.

He seems very interested in her.

But when Lu turned his gaze to Ghazal,

The other person, however, seemed flustered and avoided eye contact.

Seeing this, Lu whispered in Li Yuan's ear again:

"Sir, this client seems rather strange."

"I know, don't worry."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, but didn't seem to care.

Because he knew everything about this place perfectly.

Meanwhile, Iris was unaware of what was happening behind her.

He continued to walk slowly through the house, seemingly reminiscing about his childhood.

Just then, the assistant Specks looked at Ellis with his notebook in hand.

She asked softly, "Elise, have you found anything?"

Ellis stopped in his tracks, frowning as he said:

"There are many ghosts here; it's hard to say whether they're good or bad."

You know, many people died in the prison next door.

At this point, Elliston paused, then turned to look at Ghazal:

"So, when did these strange things start?"

"Just shortly after we moved in."

Ghazal, clutching a beer bottle, paced slowly around the room.

It seems to be recalling previous details.

After a brief pause, he continued:

"At first, it was just some small things,"

Just like the beginning of those horror stories,

But later, things gradually spiraled out of control...

Just as Ghazal was recounting the strange events that had occurred to him,

Iris stood deep inside the living room.

Somewhat unconsciously, they slowly walked towards the other rooms of the house again.
