Chapter 13 Mannequins
Chapter 13 Dummy Model
$299 is definitely not a small amount, especially for remote places like Dock. Maine is also a very poor state and Mississippi from Chiheng. It is different from California and New York where the wealthy people are everywhere. Maine's per capita GDP last year was more than $27,000, which is still the level that the capital area can achieve. For example, Dock, most of the per capita income is between $1,200 and $1,500.
After deducting necessary living expenses such as insurance, there is not much left for disposable expenses.
Therefore, looking at people's living standards, we cannot look at the per capita GDP, but the median per capita income. Last year, the median income in the United States was $23,214, and the median per capita income per month was $1,934.
In Maine, the median income is around $1,500.
Therefore, many people may not be able to take out $200 in cash and $299 to buy a second-hand PDA by the end of the month, which is really crazy for many families.
It can be seen how much wealth the nearly 100,000 US dollars of cash left to him by my uncle is.
“Too expensive!”
Chi Heng refused: "You said that it has been on the market for two years and is also a second-hand product."
"How much can you give?"
“$150.”
In an instant, Chi Heng, who had been in a much calmer mood, became numb again. How could there be someone here?
In just one day, there was not much cash left in his wallet.
After successfully opening the car door, Chi Heng slapped his head, how could he forget the most important cash!
After eating some bread casually, Chi Heng drove a pickup truck to add oil first, and then headed towards the old house.
Chi Heng got into the car and suddenly felt that the disguise of this electronic watch would be forgot during the day, but at night, it would be revealed immediately.
"Strange, that watch..."
"make a deal."
When he arrived at the old house, he looked up and gasped. The dilapidated old house he saw during the day was in a dark and dark way at night. He had a very dark and sinister feeling.
If you take it off and put it in your pants pocket, Chi Heng will be afraid of falling off again, which can be said to be worried about gains and losses.
Chi Heng smiled bitterly, and in that case, he would not be able to know his uncle's secret.
"Your watch looks pretty."
If it was said that the sky was just a little dim during the day, then at night, Chi Heng finally understood why the people in the town said that it was haunted and unwilling to come here, because it was indeed gloomy and there was no light along the way. The pickup was shaking on the broken road, and the surrounding woods all seemed to be swaying, just like monsters staring at the pickup in the middle.
Chi Heng saw that the young man would not be willing to continue to lower the price, so he took out his wallet to pay the bills with ease.
...
Why did you come to the living room?
He carried the bed sheet and bed quilt into the basement at one time. Chi Heng remembered that the PDA was still in the passenger seat, so he went up again and prepared to go for the second trip.
Getting off the car, Chi Heng took the flashlight and started moving the goods. He didn't move the heavy goods at first. He mainly carried the bed sheets and the bed into the basement, "I forgot to get the PDA."
But inadvertently, his flashlight shone in the direction of the living room, leaving a figure.
In dim environments, the filling will also be exposed, because this often-display function can be disguised as a quartz watch, but the principle is that the dial screen is luminous and can only be set to automatically turn off at night.
The lighting in the store cannot be compared with the outside, and the quartz watch is almost dusk, but the clarity of the quartz watch looks like it is under the sun.
There is no need to go to the legend that this is a haunted house. Just look at the appearance, how courage does it have to dare to move in?
If Chi Heng had not come during the day, he had learned the secrets of the basement, he would have been resigned at this time.
"$250? Do you think this price, I mean, do you think this price will be purchased?"
"Fuck, scared me!"
But maybe this will still be noticed.
The young man stared at Chi Heng's watch with confusion, always feeling something strange.
Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was so scared that he thought someone was standing in the living room.
Chi Heng thought about it and said that after autumn, there is no need to worry about having sleeves covering it. Now, I can only hide this way.
...
Without giving the young man a chance to continue speaking, Chi Heng quickly walked out with the packaging box.
Chi Heng persuaded: "Instead of putting it here to eat dust, it's better to sell it to me at this opportunity. Otherwise, no matter how valuable your PDA is, it's not worth it. You won't think that your ordinary PDA will be more valuable as time goes by? Man, this is not an antique!"
This was very reasonable. The young man twitched his cheeks a few times and said reluctantly: "$200, this is the lowest price."
Chi Heng was ruthless and didn't dare to drive faster, for fear of a car accident on this bad road. It was nearly half an hour during the day, but it drove for almost an hour at night before reaching the old house.
"Thank you, you have a good attitude, sorry, I still have something to do."
"No, it's impossible, it's too little," the young man shook his head, "$250."
It is obvious at this time that nearly 100,000 US dollars of cash cannot be stored in the car, and it must be stored in the basement, which is the safest place.
After waiting for Chi Heng to leave for a long time, the young man was still thinking. Suddenly, he recalled something wrong, "Why is his quartz watch so clearly in the store?"
One hundred thousand dollars seems to be a lot, but in fact it can be packed with a backpack. Chi Heng also threw the PDA packaging fee in and walked into the house with his backpack.
Chi Heng retracted his hand calmly.
Alas, isn't it?
Aren't the dummy model in the room on the third floor?
"What's wrong?"
The young man quickly put the PDA in the packaging box and handed it to Chi Heng. His eyes were inadvertently stopped at the electronic watch on Chi Heng's left wrist, and said "Huh" and said, "Sir, can you see your watch?"
"Fortunately I came during the day. If I came only at night, I was afraid I would not have the courage to step in and turn around and leave."
The flashlight that had just swept over immediately turned around and aimed at the figure he had just swept over... Bai Cancan's area, it turned out that the so-called figure was actually not a real person, but a dummy model.
"Find a rope to hang it on your chest?"
Chi Heng breathed a sigh of relief and took another breath. The flashlight shone on the dummy model. It happened that the dummy model was also facing his gaze, with a fake smile on his face, which looked particularly creepy.
His first thought was to have a thief in the old house!
Chi Heng held the flashlight tightly and quietly came to the basement door, opened the iron door, walked into the lifting platform, and went down into the basement, and couldn't wait to go to the room to take out the "Red Dragon".
Although this gun seems strange, there is no need to question that the bullets of this gun are yellow and orange, and there will be no problem for defense.
