Chapter Seventy-Three: Peeling Back the Thread
87_87230There are a lot of middle-aged and elderly people left behind in Niwan Village, these villagers usually have the biggest pastime in addition to farming, although Liao Qifan is low-key, but many people still have some memories of him, after gathering the villagers to ask again, it is really a gain.
For example, some people have seen Liao Qifan swim in the Yellow River when he was young, like a big fish drilling up and down, and his swimming skills are amazing, and some people often see him carrying his bags up the mountain, explaining that he is hunting, but it is rare to see him carrying prey in his hand when he goes down the mountain.
All kinds of signs show that Liao Qifan is different from ordinary villagers, and after asking a few old people to inquire about the old house of the Liao family, Ye Congjun and his party rushed over decisively, after all, it is the place where Liao Qifan has lived for decades, if he is a magic hand fairy, no matter how well he covers it, there will be traces left.
The old house of the Liao family is not far from the head of the east mountain, near the foot of the mountain, very remote, unless it is to work in the terraces on weekdays, ordinary people rarely approach, Li Kuai and others are standing in front of this old house.
This house has not been popular for 8 years, under the wind and sun, it looks particularly dilapidated, just looking at this shape, people can't help but worry, whether a gust of wind will blow this house down.
Although the house in the countryside is simple, it is wide enough, and there are two courtyards in front of him, and after a glance, Ye Congjun said: "Let's search separately to see if there are any clues." ”
After speaking, she walked to the left, Lu Chaosheng walked to the other side, and Li Kuai was also about to help, but was pulled by Li Xiaorou.
"What for?" Li looked at her in bewilderment.
Li Xiaorou looked at Lu Chaosheng, and when he was far away, she asked in a low voice: "Why do I feel weird, what is his relationship with Ye Congjun?" ”
Lu Chaosheng's identity on the face is the king of Burmese jade, but at this moment, his actions are not at all like what a billionaire should look like, Li Xiaorou doesn't know what he thinks, so he suddenly wants to know his details.
Li Kuai and Xu Xu also guessed the little woman's mind at once, and he grinned: "Your father is Ye Congjun's boss, to be precise, in addition to being a very rich man, he is also an ace spy. ”
"Spies?" Li Xiaorou's eyes widened, her life was too far away from this profession, and it took her a long time before she said, "Why should he be a spy?" ”
"It's very simple, responsibility, just like you are his daughter, he didn't fulfill the responsibility of a father, so he doesn't expect you to be good to him, but as a daughter, you also have the responsibility to understand your father, hey, why should I talk to you about these profound questions with your donkey......" Li Kuai shook his head and left.
Li Xiaorou was still in the logical meaning of the arranger Li Kuai's words, and it took her a long time before she shouted: "Damn Li Kuai, call me stupid!" ”
"Let's go Jingjing, let's also look for clues, this seems to be very fun, haha......" Li Xiaorou pulled Huang Jingjing on the side, and pounced on a house with an excited face, although I don't know why Li Kuai and them are so nervous, but this does not prevent Li Xiaorou from enjoying the atmosphere like Detective Conan, even Huang Jingjing is quite eager to try, looking at everything around her very carefully, wanting to find some clues from the house in front of her that prove that the original owner is not an ordinary farmer.
It took about ten minutes for the detective team of 5 people to return to the front of the house from all directions, and as soon as they saw Ye Congjun, they couldn't wait to ask, "Do you have any clues?" ”
She is really anxious now, although she has blocked all the exits of Kaiyang City, strictly investigated, and even has unmanned reconnaissance aircraft responsible for patrolling the Yellow River section, but such a dense blockade cannot last for a few days, during this time, they must find the magic hand fairy, otherwise the patriotic funds are likely to be lost.
They didn't get this $1 billion out of thin air, they paid a lot of blood and sweat, and now they have been stolen by others, how can she be worthy of her brothers and sisters who paid blood, sweat and even their lives for this fund?
"I found this." Unexpectedly, it was Li Xiaorou who was the first to speak, only to see that she was very excited to raise the things in her hand, and everyone looked at it, but it was a bag of needles and threads, and when she was puzzled, she said: "This is what I found in the bedroom, it must be Liao Qifan's own use, why should he use women's things, he is definitely not an ordinary person!" ”
A very firm tone, but in exchange for Li Kuai's white eyes, I thought I had found something amazing, please, although few men use needles and threads, but Liao Qifan is alone at home, in case of a hole, you can't help but sew it back, right?
"There is some truth, maybe he is good at using needles, and many thieves are good at this." However, Lu Chaosheng ignored the condemnation of his conscience and supported Li Xiaorou's speculation without hesitation.
However, his support was only exchanged for Li Xiaorou's disdainful cold snort, which made him embarrassed, so he had to laugh and say: "There is an underground secret passage behind the house, but it has been completely closed, I dug a little bit to see the trend is under the house, there should be a cellar here." ”
There is also a cellar in the deep mountains and old forests, which is quite suspicious, at least it is certain that there must be something unsightly about Liao Qifan, Ye Congjun also found a human-shaped wooden stake in the vegetable garden on the left, the design is very standard, to say that it is a dummy to drive birds and beasts, it is a bit unreasonable.
But these various clues can't make Ye Congjun affirm that Liao Qifan is a magic hand immortal, at most, it proves that Liao Qifan is likely to be a wanted criminal, which makes Ye Congjun quite irritable, she can't put the treasure on a person who has not yet been confirmed, in case the pressure is wrong, doesn't it mean that she covers the magic hand fairy and escapes!
"What about you?" Ye Congjun looked at Li Kuai, if he didn't find out, then she would be in big trouble.
"Originally, I didn't find anything, but now, there's a little bit." Li Kuai showed his signature smile, yes, it was the kind of cheap smile that made Ye Congjun want to slap him down, only to see him stride up to a thing, and pointed directly: "This thing can prove that Liao Qifan is a magic hand immortal." ”
Everyone looked at it, but it was a stone mill placed not far away, which made everyone? Puzzled, Ye Congjun couldn't help but say: "This kind of stone mill is available in every household, what's so surprising about this?" ”
"I said why the magic hand fairy can hand, it turns out that it is all because you are too stupid." Li Kuai hit Ye Congjun mercilessly, and he asked rhetorically: "You said that every family has this kind of stone mill, so do you see this stone mill in my house?" Or have you seen it in other homes in the village? ”
Two questions in a row made Ye Congjun speechless, thinking about it carefully, she didn't seem to have seen a stone mill in Li Kuai's house, and other homes in the village, she just habitually felt that it was normal for there to be a stone mill in the countryside.
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Chaosheng asked the most curious question of everyone.
"It's very simple, we don't grow soybeans in our village at all, naturally no one uses a stone mill, but Liao Qifan's family has it, you look at this stone mill, it has obviously been used for a long time, and you look at this pile of things, although it has been completely moldy, but I believe it should be something after the soybean stalk is corrupted." Li Kuai explained.
"But what does this have to do with the Wonderful Hand Immortal?" Li Xiaorou was still confused.
"Hehe, Wonderful Hand Immortal, Wonderful Hand Fairy, what is the most powerful thing about him?" Li Kuai asked with a smile.
Lu Chaosheng and Ye Congjun were stunned almost at the same time, and then exclaimed: "It's a hand!" ”
"This is a stone mill used by the magic hand fairy to soak his hands in fresh bean juice for a long time!" Ye Congjun's face was full of surprise.
Li Xiaorou and Huang Jingjing also suddenly realized, if it weren't for Ye Congjun's point, they would probably still be entangled in the relationship between Shi Mo and the Wonderful Hand Immortal, it's not that they are not smart, but they are not good at this, and they don't have a concept of top thieves.
Although Ye Congjun and Lu Chaosheng are from the underground world, they are not in the same line, so when thinking about problems, they will also take detours.
But Li Kuai is not among them, he clearly knows how harsh training is required to become a first-class thief, because he has such a good friend, an international thief named York.
"I'm going back to downtown to help me say goodbye to my grandmother." Ye Congjun is still a resolute Ye Congjun, and now there has been significant progress, it is determined that Liao Qifan is a magic hand immortal, and her most urgent job now is to return to the base camp immediately, and then carry out a net-like investigation.
I believe that with the portrait and the monitoring system that controls the entire city, as long as the magic hand fairy is still in Kaiyang City, it is only a matter of time to find out.
"Well, I'm also responsible for losing things, and I'm going back to Xiaorou." Although he is very reluctant, Lu Chaosheng is not a person who has no commitment, and he is also ready to grit his teeth and go back to the city, and the force of the magic hand immortal is also extraordinary, and his role is still obvious.
couldn't stand Lu Chaosheng's reluctant look, Li Xiaorou waved her hand: "You have to go back quickly, young mother-in-law." ”
The tone was a little rushed, but at least there was something to say no, Lu Chaosheng suddenly nodded happily, and caught up with Ye Congjun in two steps, but before leaving, he still couldn't help but explain to Li Kuaidao: "Help me take care of Xiaorou." ”
"How about charging you 10,000 yuan a minute?" Li Kuai asked very whimsically.
His offer was only exchanged for Lu Chaosheng's white eyes, this guy really thought he didn't know, today when he asked Mayor Li to settle the money for Li Kuai's auction of the jade bracelet, Mayor Li told him that Li Kuai had already settled the account, what does this mean?
Instead, Ye Congjun lowered the window and said calmly: "There is a clue to the magic hand fairy, I will inform you, help, I don't want to disappoint my overseas brothers." ”
In this regard, Li Kuai just smiled: "If you don't say it, I also want to meet this wonderful hand fairy for a while, what is bad for stealing, stealing other people's hard-earned money!" ”
