Chapter 246: The Seller Seeks Glory
"With your help, things will go well. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Maeda let go of Tao's hand, "Come, I'll show you something interesting." ”
He couldn't lead Tao to the window, "Look out, what do you see?"
Tao couldn't be confused, "Tree." ”
Maeda stepped aside, opened a box, took out a telescope from it, and then returned to Tao Fufu's side and handed the telescope to Tao Fufu, "You can take a look again." ”
Tao couldn't clumsily pick up the binoculars and looked into the distance for a while. "It's still a tree...... Wait a minute. This is...... Mo family?" Tao couldn't shout, "It's the Mo family, right?"
Maeda smirked, "That's why I bought this house." Within a hundred miles, I couldn't find a better one. What pleased me the most was that the trees in front of us could give us some cover, but not get in the way of Hanover. ”
"What are you going to do?" Tao couldn't look at it for a while, then returned the telescope to Meda, "Do you want to avoid the police?"
Maeda laughed, "Don't worry about that. He put away his binoculars, then returned to the chair behind the coffee table and sat down. "We have a saying in Neon Country, which is called 'Snake Walk'. Naturally, we have our way. ”
"Oh. Tao nodded incomprehensibly, "So, what else do I have to do besides learning Japanese?"
"Tell me first, have you been doing anything lately with the Hanoverians? Do you know where they usually put their amber? And besides, do they have any strange behavior, or anything that is particularly important?"
Tao couldn't think about it, "It's nothing, Mo Linshu's daughter-in-law Guan Yingqing is pregnant, and she will give birth in three months at most." She had a lot of morning sickness, but it wasn't surprising. For most of the half year after she became pregnant, Mous basically didn't go out much, and stayed in Hancheng. As for the amber, part of it is in the store, and part of it is in the warehouse behind the store. Of course, I'm sure they have something else at home, but I haven't seen it. ”
Maeda was a little disappointed, "You've been working in their shop for seven years and haven't found anything noteworthy?"
Tao couldn't remember the necklace with the "mosquito coil" pendant, but he was about to say it, but he hesitated, and the instinct of the merchant prompted him to decide to keep a little secret. "Perhaps, Maeda is not so credible, after all, he has lied to me for so long. Tao couldn't think like this, and then said seriously, "This is normal, the Mo family must be very cautious after hiding for so many years, how could I find out something? In my opinion, these two pieces of seven-colored amber are the strangest place for them." ”
Maeda stared at Tao for a few seconds, and the latter smirked smirk, as if to say that he had asked a ridiculous question.
"Not bad. The people of the Hanover family do not show their flaws easily. Maeda said slowly, his face softening a little. "I've checked, the Hanover family is now sparsely populated, and there is no one else except for their father and son. ”
"Well, however, Guan Yingqing, as well as her younger brother Guan Zhenqing, and her parents, all walk around the Mo family very diligently, I don't know if they will know the secret of the Seven Colored Ambers. Tao couldn't speak.
"You're right, you can't let any of them go. Maeda's two eyebrows were raised, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes.
Strangely, Tao couldn't and didn't feel scared. On the contrary, he felt that his whole body was full of fighting spirit, as if the bloodthirsty monster sleeping in his heart had been awakened.
"By the way, I remember one thing, Mous seems to know kung fu. Tao couldn't go back to his chair and sit down. He pulled out his cigarette case and glanced at Kaeda, who knowingly pulled out a lighter and lit it for him.
"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"I've seen him swim, and his muscles aren't ordinarily strong, and it's scary to look at. Tao couldn't spit out a smoke ring, "Moreover, he usually carries any heavy things in their house, and he has a lot of strength." I also heard Mo Linshu say that his father insisted on bathing with cold water every day, even if it was ten winters and moons. ”
Maeda sneered, "Even if he knows kung fu, can he deal with twenty or thirty of us alone?"
"Hmm. Xiaomei, oh no, the front ...... Field. Tao couldn't say in a hurry, "When are you going to do it?"
"It's going to take a while. Maeda estimated in his heart, "Our people will come in phases and batches, and it will be easy to attract the attention of others by pouring into Hancheng on a large scale." By the time we arrive, it may not be until January next year. ”
"Then I have a suggestion. Tao couldn't show a sly smile, "You might as well wait until the end of February or early March next year." I'll tell you the exact time when I check the calendar. ”
"Why?" Maeda felt puzzled.
"Because, if I'm not mistaken, the fourteenth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Mo Linshu's father-in-law. ”
"What does this have to do with our plans?"
"Listen to me. Tao couldn't slowly exhale the pillar of smoke, "If you want to retrieve the Amber Palace from the Mo family, you have to have chips in your hands." I have known the Mo family for many years, and to be honest, their tempers are quite stubborn, they are all hard bones, and I don't think it will be easy to do. ”
Maeda laughed, "Don't be afraid, I have a way under my men." ”
Tao couldn't shake his head, "I have an easy way to make sure they speak. ”
"What's the solution?" Maeda asked impatiently.
"Kids. Tao couldn't say word by word, "Guan Yingqing will definitely have a baby in December or January, and when she gives birth to a child and finishes her confinement, it will be February at most." Then, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Guan Yingqing's father celebrated his birthday, and the Mo family would definitely rush over to participate. When the time comes, you only need to catch the child, and you won't be afraid that the Mo family will not tell the whereabouts of the seven-colored pearl. In addition, the Guan family is in a very remote place, and it is safer for you to do it there than in the Mo family. ”
Maeda narrowed his eyes, "I have a hunch that we will become very good friends in the future." ”
"Aren't we friends yet?" Tao said without pretending to be sad, "Maeda-kun, it's too much for you to say that. ”
Maeda grinned.
On the fourteenth day of the first month, it was stunned.
In mid-spring, the weather is warm and cold. The night was getting deeper, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no moonlight and starlight to be seen, only the merciless wind coldly lapping people's faces.
The Eight Immortals table in the courtyard of the Guan family was full of food, but it was already cold. The second elder of the Guan family, Guan Yingqing, and the relatives who came to celebrate Guan's father's birthday were all tied with their hands tied behind their backs and kneeling in the open space. Guan Yingqing was wearing a newly made pink dress, and the sweet tones looked particularly crazy in this ghostly night. At Guan Yingqing's feet, an infant baby was asleep. Obviously, she didn't know that beside her, there was a group of neon countrymen with cold steel knives, looking at them coldly.
And on the big tree next to the table, there was another person - that was Mo Linshu who was tied up with five flowers.
"Mr. Mo. Maeda walked up to him and gave a friendly smile in disguise. "Let's not waste time. I'll be straight ahead, I don't want to do anything to your wife and children, and you don't want me to be a wicked person. ”
"I've never seen an Amber Palace, and I don't know where it is. Mo Linshu said with difficulty, "You are here with me, you are wasting time." ”
"Really?" Maeda dragged out his voice, "Your eyes, the seven-colored amber in your shop, are they all coincidences?"
Mo Linshu didn't bother to repeat the explanation, so he simply closed his eyes.
Maeda sneered, "Okay." He said something to one of his subordinates beside him, who immediately arrested Guan Yingqing with understanding.
"This is your wife, right?" Maeda grabbed Guan Yingqing's hair and dragged her in front of Mo Linshu without pity.
Mo Linshu opened his eyes, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't do anything, I just want to tell you that your wife is good-looking. Maeda bared his teeth and smiled, "Just two months after giving birth, my figure has recovered, it's amazing." ”
Mo Linshu's face turned pale, "Don't touch her." His voice trembled, I don't know if it was anger or fear. "I warn you, if you dare to touch her, if you ......"
"Oh, why can't I touch her? Give me a reason. Maeda interrupted Mo Linshu's words, and at the same time pulled the woman's hair hard, Guan Yingqing screamed in pain.
"I can't explain the golden eyes, but I can tell you where the seven-colored amber came from. Mo Linshu gritted his teeth and said, "However, I'm not the person you're looking for. ”
"Come on. Maeda said disdainfully, "You think I'm an idiot?" he roared in a low voice, "The people of Hanover have a peculiar obnoxious temperament, and I can be sure that you are a descendant of Hanover." ”
"So. Mo Linshu paused, and his face slowly returned to normal. "If I tell you the key information about the Amber Palace, can you let these innocent people go?"
"Which ones?" Maeda asked deliberately.
"Everyone but me. Mo Linshu said in an almost pleading tone, "I can cooperate with you, but I hope you can keep your promise." ”
Maeda thought for a few seconds, "Okay, as long as you can take me to the Amber Palace, I won't embarrass them." After speaking, he loosened Guan Yingqing's hair.
Mo Linshu breathed a sigh of relief, "You let me go first." ”
"You!" Maeda glared at him angrily, and then turned his anger into joy, "Okay." You can't run away anyway. He turned his head and said something in Japanese to his subordinates.
After Mo Linshu was put down, he immediately rushed to Guan Yingqing's side, "Qingqing, how are you?"
"I'm fine. Guan Yingqing said with tears in her eyes, "What should we do?"
Mo Linshu pretended to smile casually, "Don't worry. He gently embraced his wife in his arms and stroked the ends of her hair gently, as if he were playing with a rare treasure in the world.
"Ahem. Maeda waited impatiently and reminded, "It's useless to stall, Mr. Mo." You're not waiting for help, are you?"
Mo Linshu let go of his wife and said lightly: "I don't have a rescuer, don't guess." He straightened his chest and said unhurriedly, "You can take someone to my house now." ”
"Your house?" Maeda said suspiciously, "where are the things?"
"On the westernmost side of the first floor of my house, there is a separate room with the word 'Fu' on the door. Go into that room and look for a secret door in the wall. Mo Linshu spoke slowly, as if he was thinking about how to continue. "If you force the secret door to be opened, there will be a lot of movement, so you must be careful not to disturb the neighbors. ”
"Where are your neighbors from near your house?" Maeda reeled, "Do you think I'm particularly easy to deceive?"
"As I said, the forced opening of the secret door was very loud. Believe it or not. Mo Linshu said calmly, "Otherwise, this big night will scare others and make others call the police, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
Maeda took a breath as if he had a toothache, "yes, thanks for reminding me." He said sarcastically, "But why should I force that secret door to be opened? Can't you open it for us?"
Mo Linshu actually laughed, "Of course you can." Other than that. He looked around at the neon people in the courtyard, "You may not have enough people." ”
Maeda walked up to Mo Linshu and looked up at Mo Linshu. He was half a head shorter than Mo Linshu, and the way he tilted his head looked a little obscene. "Then you don't have to worry, I'm only responsible for finding the Amber Palace, not for transporting it. ”
"Whatever you want, I reminded you anyway. Mo Linshu said, and looked into the room again, "I told you the location, it's your turn to release people." ”
"I've released your wife. Maeda said slyly, "The rest of you, wait until I get the things and then put them away, right?"
Mo Linshu sighed, "Okay, then, let's go now?"
Maeda hesitated, "Is it really at your house?"
"Yes, right where I was talking about. ”
Maeda narrowed his eyes, "You repeat what you just said." ”
"Why?" Mo Linshu blinked, "You think I made it up temporarily?"
"Say it quickly. Maeda sank his face, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
Mo Linshu shook his head, as if he felt unreasonable about Maeda's stubbornness. "On the westernmost side of the first floor of my house, there is a separate room with the word 'Fu' on the door. There was a secret door on the wall of that room......"
"Maeda-kun, don't listen to him, he's lying!"
A voice sounded from behind Mo Linshu, and his face suddenly changed.
Tao couldn't stride towards Maeda, and said as he walked: "The westernmost part of the first floor of the Mo family is the old kitchen. After Guan Yingqing became pregnant, the Mo family was worried that she would feel uncomfortable smelling oil smoke, so they moved the kitchen to the east away from the bedroom. Under the night sky, he stood still in front of Mo Linshu, his eyes shining with strange excitement. "Amber is most afraid of high temperatures, how can it be hidden in the kitchen? Even if you have any secret secrets, it is impossible to guarantee that it is foolproof! The Mo family is cautious and will never do such a thing. ”
Maeda frowned deeply.
"Moreover, I've been to Mo's house many times, their old kitchen is not very large, what can be hidden?" Tao couldn't speak, squinting at Maeda, "I'm afraid someone wants to take you into a trap so that Mous can attack you?"
An angry fire shot out of Mo Linshu's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
