Otherworldly Merchant

“I don't know...” Lan Hua shook his head: “After Xu took a call, he was nervous. He told us a few words and left in a hurry. The voice on the other end of the phone sounds like a woman. ”

“Woman?” My eyes squinted.

“Mm-hmm." replied Lang Hua.

This is strange. The reason I put Qin Mengmei here with confidence is because this guy is not only a painting idiot, but also has no interest in the sex affairs of men and women. He has never heard of any girlfriend. Why did he take a call from a woman and then leave in such a hurry?

“So how did he get back? ”

“There was a taxi.” Langhua said, "His phone ran out of electricity, and his wallet was left in the store, or was it the fare I paid in advance? ”

“How much?”

“57 bucks. ”

“Da Zheng, Xu Zheng... what's wrong with him?” As soon as I asked him so carefully, Langhua seemed to have noticed something and asked carefully.

“Nothing, you go back first.” I waved.

“Yes!” Lan Hua bowed at me and turned away.

That's it!

The $57 fare is almost 40 to 50 minutes during peak off-duty hours.

This basically coincides with Raven's return from the stash of blank paper fans, and she probably came back in a taxi called Seo Er.

However, I know Seo Er very well, even though I don't have much contact with him.

He had very little guts, and he had no idea from the beginning to the end, otherwise I could tell at first sight by his emotional intelligence and the capital.

Raven probably hid under the car and followed him back.

So she called him out too.

But what can make Seo Er so anxious?

“Oh, yeah! It's his mother.”

Xu Er and I have been diligent for so many years, never leaving work hours, only his mother can rush him back so hastily. More than 40 minutes away, almost exactly home - the last time Li Mazi and I ordered Li Bai to have a drink, it took a long time for Old Bai to come, asked, said that there was a side painting that didn't recognize the truth and falsehood, just came back from Xu Er's house.

Raven may have tricked him back in her mother's name just to get back in his car.

So how did she leave after she stole the blank fan?

I was thinking and walking back.

Just before I got to the store, I figured it out.

She left in an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital for about 15 minutes, during which time she hid the blank paper fan, and then tricked Xu Er back to his house and returned with him.

So, the place to hide the blank fan is between the hospital and Seo Er's house!

I went back to the backyard and took a look at Ye Su Ling, the little guy still slept very well.

Although she was a child, she was much more courageous than the vast majority of adults. Even if I didn't wake up, I wouldn't be afraid to scream, so I walked out lightly, took the door with my back hand, took a taxi, and headed straight to the hospital.

I went to the front desk and asked, where are the two swollen patients that came in this afternoon?

Just walking into the hospital department, I met a young man in the hallway who Xu Er stayed to take care of He Fu Qin Meng Meng.

When asked how they were doing, the little fellow said, "Don't worry, Grand Palace, they're fine. I just finished the drip and now I'm asleep. ”

And I gave him a thousand dollars, and I said, "You guys have worked hard here, so buy some more delicious food. ”

Now that they're both asleep, I'm not going to visit. Finding a blank fan is the most important thing now!

Leaving the hospital, I called Mr. Bai and asked him where the Xu Er family was.

Following the direction he pointed out, he walked a few tens of minutes to Xu Er's house.

This is an old residential building with no property doorman.

I bought some fruits and supplies from the street supermarket and went upstairs.

On the fourth floor of the second unit, to the right, there was a pile of broken cardboard boxes in front of Xu Er's door, and a plastic bottle with half a bag of stepping on it.

I knocked gently on the door.

“Who is it?” There's an old, tired voice inside.

Then again, the sound of the ground.

A few minutes later, the door opened a small stitch.

Show a wrinkled face: “Who are you looking for? ”

“Is this Seo Dye's home?” I asked.

“Yeah.” The old lady nodded.

“Oh, ma'am, I'm his colleague. I hear he's not feeling well. Come and see him.” I handed over the gift.

The old lady glanced at the gift I had in my hand and relaxed her guard a little. She opened the door and blamed herself: “You child, come and buy something else. My second son is asleep, I'll go get him. ”

“No, ma'am, I'll go in and sit down.” I said.

The old lady was obviously stunned —— according to common sense, she said she was asleep, and I shouldn't have said, ‘That's no trouble, I'll come back another time.’ Why do you have to go in and sit?

But she was just stunned, so she quickly opened the door: “Please, sit down and I'll pour you some tea. ”

That's when I realized that her left foot seemed a little inconvenient, her toes didn't dare to step on the ground, and her hands had to hold the wall.

That same sound that dragged the ground just now.

But if she can't make it home, it doesn't look like it's a big deal. She doesn't have a painful expression on her face, so she should have broken her ankle or something.

“Be careful, ma'am.” I sat down in the living room while I was talking.

The old lady turned her head and looked at me. The expression on her face was strange. She might be wondering: Why is this man so ignorant? Now that I can see it, my legs and feet are bad, don't stop me from saying, "Don't bother, ma'am," do I have to drink this tea?

Actually, I'm going to take this time to see if there's any pubic energy in the house.

On the way from the hospital, I thought about it.

From the perspective of the Usuri River, Lina was extremely thoughtful and would never take any useless steps.

This blank fan seems simple, and the spirits that reside inside are not vicious, but she definitely has other intentions!

If she had someone hand the paper fan directly to me, I would have noticed the problem at a glance. If you send this thing to another store, the other shopkeepers may not have the same eyesight or perceive the value of this paper fan, they won't take it at all.

Only Xu Er is the most suitable person to see the precious paper fan and not know if it is a shady object.

And from the fact that Raven borrowed Xu Er's mother to lure him home, then followed Xu Er's car back.

They must have done enough homework for Seo Er in advance.

For example, knowing that he is a filial son, if something happens to his mother, he will definitely return.

He was also very serious about his work, and at first sight his mother was fine, and he would definitely return before closing the door.

So, is it possible that this blank fan could be hidden in Seo Er's house?

While Madam Xu was not paying attention, I pinched my finger and tested it. There was no Yin Qi fluctuation in the room. Therefore, it can be seen that the blank paper fan is not here.

Granny Xu's foot was obviously sprained tonight. This must be part of Lina's plan. I must not let go of any clues.

I was sitting in the living room measuring as if nothing had happened.

Opposite the dilapidated sofa hangs a pair of "Qianli Jiangshan" painted by Xu Er himself, against the wall is a broken bookcase with paint dropping, all over it are books about ancient painting research and so on.

The whole house is full of old furniture from over twenty years ago, broken and sour.

Xu Er is in charge of Shu Fangzhai's cabinet. The amount of money he handles each year is not worth tens of millions. Not counting the labor costs of his private book appraisal painting, there are hundreds of thousands of wages and bonuses alone. How can life be so poverty free?

Soon, Madam Xu lit her feet and placed the teacup in front of me.

“Sister, as far as I know, Seo Dynasty makes a lot of money, but how can this day be so bitter? Is there any difficulty?” I opened the door and asked.

Madam Xu was stunned again. She might wonder: What the hell is going on with this person? There's no way to talk like that.

But for a gift, you can't just throw me out, can you?

After sighing, she sat down in the little chair opposite me and said, "Hey, this is fate! ”
