Chapter 25 Construction Sites
Shen Huan called Haicheng to understand the situation.
Several pairs of eyes around her looked at her curiously, but Minglu was still leisurely, as if she had already understood it.
Shen Huan answered the phone for a while, and his face sank: "It was said that there were two people missing, not on the construction site, and just went out." The contact was contacted, and he said that he would rush back immediately. β
"That said, I don't know when I'll be back." Minglu sneered.
"Did they get the news ahead of time?" Shen Huan thought quickly, "Knowing that we were going to investigate, we disappeared immediately, which is too strange." β
Minglu put his hands around his chest and leaned back: "The more strange it is, the more it means that there is a problem." Originally, they were supposed to stand still, but we checked them and ran away, and we knew that there were ghosts at a glance. Since we know that we will be suspicious and want to escape, it means that once we catch someone, it is a very important clue, and we will definitely find a breakthrough from it. β
"So they'd rather be exposed than caught by us."
The more this is the case, Minglu is determined to pull this clue out.
"But how did they get the news?" Shen Huan didn't think of it for a while.
As soon as they discussed going to Haicheng to investigate, the two people got the news from the construction site, and the speed of this information transmission was inevitably too fast
"What do you say?" Minglu spread his hands.
Shen Huan pinched his phone, his brows tightened, Xiao Rui had a flash of inspiration, and thought of an answer, but he was not sure, because they couldn't have imagined that it would be ......
"Lubanmen?"
Xiao Rui whispered these three words.
When he said it, even he turned pale with fright. If this is the case, then they just now, wouldn't they have been seeking the skin of the tiger and being thoroughly tapped by others. If the other party had the intention to arrest them, how could they still be standing here now?
They thought that Lu Banmen was a victim like them, but they didn't expect it......
It's hard to prevent!
At that time, only the people of Lubanmen heard the news that they were going to Haicheng to investigate, hey, in this case, wouldn't that be ......
"You just did it on purpose?!" Xiao Rui looked at Ming Lu in surprise.
"Hmm."
"There are traitors in Lubanmen." She said directly.
Xiao Rui and Shen Huan were speechless, when they met for the first time today, they didn't expect that there had already been a mole in the other camp, and they were almost blinded by others.
"Who is the mole?" Shen Huan asked subconsciously.
Elder Xu or Zhao Jinlin, or a disciple?
Minglu's eyes gradually sank: "At first, I was just suspicious, so I planned to test it, but I didn't expect to be guessed correctly." β
deliberately asked Shen Huan on the spot, and without waiting for her to finish making a choice, she decided to go to Haicheng, let them know their plans, test their reactions, and as soon as they were tempted, they immediately got the news that the person disappeared and could not be found, so they naturally returned in vain.
"As for who...... Let's not talk about it for now. In fact, this matter is not so happy, "Although we catch the traitor, we may not be much better, so if we do it, it can be regarded as a startling snake, and how not to tear up the face with the other party is also a problem." β
Shen Huan's face became more and more bad: "Why don't we slow down?" Otherwise, there is no way to communicate with Lubanmen anymore. β
In fact, Shen Huan didn't want to have any more dealings with Lu Banmen, not to mention the yin and yang weirdness, and there was a traitor, if they were all pitted, it would really be impossible to prevent it.
"Nope." Minglu said, "Now that YiqiΔ is not yet hot, the other party definitely doesn't want to make trouble, after all, his goal has not been achieved." Until then, he wouldn't want to see us tear up our faces with him. β
"Let's just play with him."
"Hello, hello, everyone." Minglu spread his hands.
"Okay."
They all listened to what was revealed.
Uncle Wang suddenly stopped the car and said, "Miss Ming, at the intersection in front, we can change the route." β
"Okay." Minglu patted him on the shoulder, "Wait there later, put me and Yu Cheng down, Shen Huan, you and Xiao Rui still go to Haicheng, and we will be divided into two ways as temporary soldiers." β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. Shen Huan hesitated for a moment and nodded. Minglu was suddenly not around, and she felt insecure.
"Bring more bodyguards, huh?" Minglu said to her.
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
The car drove to the intersection in front of them, and Minglu and Xiao Yucheng got off. At the same time as getting out of the car, Xiao Yucheng immediately called the Xiao family to send a car, this is their territory, and it is convenient to do anything.
The two got into the car and drove to the project of Mori and the group.
The place where they got off was already very close to the construction site, and it took them four or five minutes to drive.
"Wait."
Before getting out of the car, Minglu suddenly took out a small box from her bag.
"This is ......," Xiao Yucheng was puzzled.
"Aren't you curious if I can do anything to make sure I'll catch someone?"
"Hmm."
Xiao Yucheng nodded, he was born in an ancient martial arts family, so he naturally didn't know anything about the metaphysical school.
Minglu opened the box, and what was contained inside was a bright red flower, I don't know how long it had been placed, it was still delicate and gorgeous.
"Where do you think you've seen it?"
"How bad is your memory?" Minglu pursed his lips, "Let's go to the underworld that time." β
"Inside the underworld?"
Xiao Yucheng suddenly remembered, this is not a flower on the other side, it does not grow on Huangquan Road, but in the underworld, the light was too dim at that time, he didn't look carefully, and he didn't pay attention to when Minglu brought one back.
However, what is the use of a flower?
Xiao Yucheng's puzzled expression fell into Minglu's eyes, making her sigh helplessly.
"After a while, you will understand the importance of studying hard and improving every day."
"If you don't study hard, it's useless to give you a golden finger."
Xiao Yucheng: ???
The two got out of the car, and the person in charge of the project was already waiting for them at the door and took the two into the construction site.
"Miss Ming, Mr. Xiao."
Although I don't know what the identities of these two people are, I only know that they are people sent by Shen Huan, and Mr. Shen's face is naturally to be given. In short, whatever people say, they just do it.
"Hello, the people have been counted?" Minglu asked.
"Yes, the count is complete, all assembled, just ask if you have anything."
"Well, thank you." Minglu smiled slightly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The person in charge enthusiastically took the two to the meeting place.
The workers of the engineering team all sat together, only knowing that the person in charge said that there was something important to talk about, but they did not know what the specific matters were, and they were bored waiting for someone from above. It's really idle, and they've already started talking.
Ming Lu and Xiao Yucheng walked over quietly, without letting Director Wang say anything.
Xiao Yucheng and Director Wang understood the situation without a match, delaying for some time, while Minglu stood aside, pinching the red flower with his fingers, and looked at every worker sitting on the ground intentionally or unintentionally.
The suspects are hiding among them.
His eyes quickly swept over the columns of workers, and some people raised their heads and looked at her curiously, but one of them, half of his face was hidden in the shadow of the hard hat, but he looked at the flower in Minglu's hand, grinned slightly, and showed an extremely strange smile.
It's chilling.
Ming's eyes blinked slightly, and the corners of his lips seemed to be hooked.
She turned her head and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, can you call the last three people in the last column to come out?" There are some things I want to talk to them about individually. β
Director Wang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the three workers, ordinary and unremarkable, there was nothing strange about it, but the people who came up couldn't help but talk, and it shouldn't be a big deal, so he nodded and said, "No problem, I'll call them now." β
"Let's go to that little room over there." Minglu pointed to a makeshift shack not far away.
"Okay, okay, I'll go and call them over."
Director Wang immediately went over and called the three workers over, and the others were also confused, not knowing what the supervisor meant by suddenly calling the three people out alone.
"They didn't do anything, did they?"
"No, right...... It could be something else! β
"I feel very strange today, I suddenly gathered us, and I didn't say anything, and two ...... came inexplicably."
β¦β¦
Thinking about it here, Director Wang had already handed over the three workers to Ming Lu and Xiao Yucheng.
The six of them entered the room together, Director Wang originally wanted to ask something, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Ming Lu and Xiao Yucheng's strict expressions, and he instantly shut up, not daring to ask, this atmosphere made him feel suffocated.
No one said anything, so I had to give a word.
The workers also looked at them with blank eyes, and then looked at Director Wang for help, I don't know what the situation is now, they are here peacefully, and they haven't done anything.
"Yu Cheng, you take these two out first." Minglu rowed the two out.
"Hmm."
When the two workers heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't feel any trouble staying in this room. I don't know where this little girl came from, her aura is so strong, it is even more terrifying than Director Wang, staring at them so that her cold hair stands on end, and she feels like her throat is being choked.
Only Minglu, Director Wang, and the worker who was left behind were left in the room.
He was dressed in uniform clothes on the construction site, wearing a hard hat and gloves, his face was black and red, wrinkled, and he was at least thirty years old, with slightly cloudy eyes, looking at Minglu blankly.
Director Wang rubbed his hands a little nervously, in front of this Miss Ming, he couldn't take out the slightest posture, and was pressed fiercely: "That, Miss Ming......"
Minglu did not give Director Wang a chance to speak.
"Could you please take off your hard hat?" She asked with a smile, as if harmless.
"When, of course you can."
The worker stammered, took off his hard hat, and held it in his hand.
"Put it here."
Minglu knocked on the long table behind him.
Workers honestly put their hard hats on the table.
"And gloves."
Her gaze shifted downward.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, okay. β
The male worker raised his hand, put his right hand on the wrist of his left hand, and slowly prepared to take off his gloves.
Minglu leaned against the edge of the table, staring closely at his movements, her eyes not blinking.
"Take it off."
A word fell.
Director Wang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, if he could, he would like to escape from this room now, this girl is definitely not a good stubble.
But the meaning of the people is clearly not to let him go.
The man's hand shook slightly, the glove lifted a small corner slightly, and then, he stopped.
Looking up, he glanced at Minglu.
Just then, crashing into her sharp eyes, her heart was shocked, and her pupils constricted suddenly.
Electrifying and flint.
A hand jerked out and struck her by the throat.
Director Wang was so frightened that his heart missed a few beats, and his legs became weak.
"Click!"
Minglu was still standing intact, but his left hand was bent and fractured, and he was wearing a white glove.
"Look what the hell you areβ"
She smacked and pulled away from her gloves.
"Ahh
"Director Wang!" Minglu glared at him.
Director Wang immediately covered his mouth, but he fell limply on the wall and almost sat on the ground.
It's really ......
What he saw was so horrible that it would give him nightmares for the next month. He was just an ordinary person, he had never been in contact with any gods and ghosts, let alone any urban legends or anything like that, but he didn't expect to see it today......
Wrapped under the white gloves, it was not the hands, butβ
Accumulate white bones.
Emaciated, bare, skeletal hands.
"Call Yu Cheng in."
"Good...... Good. Director Wang opened the door tremblingly and let Xiao Yucheng in.
When Xiao Yucheng came in, he was also frightened by the scene in the house, the male worker had been killed on the spot by Ming Lu, and even the flesh that had grown had faded and completely turned into a white bone, as for what special method to use, it was her own business. Although Xiao Yucheng couldn't see any expression on his face, his reaction was indeed a beat slower.
"How could it be a skeleton?"
Xiao Yucheng didn't expect that the answer would be this.
"It's because it's a skeleton that you don't have to pay any price for implementing carpentry weariness." The other party dares to win in the major group projects with such fanfare, otherwise the backlash of the disgust is enough to ask for a person's name.
It's good that they don't have to sacrifice anything.
"Miss, you...... Guessed it a long time ago? β
"Guess." Minglu spread his hands.
Xiao Yucheng: ......
"Just kidding. Truth be told, there are still benefits to reading more. Minglu slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "Especially in our business, it's still good to watch more ancient stories of Zhiwei, true or false, maybe, there is a real one in it?" β
"Huh?"
Minglu inspected the skeleton and continued: "There is a story recorded in "Youyang Miscellaneous": Jiang Chugong often visits Zen Temple, and Jingzhao is very prosperous. and drinking, a prostitute on the seat is stunning, offering a cup and a whole mustache, not tasting the hand, and everyone is strange. This woman, who always couldn't see her showing her hands, aroused everyone's suspicion. And guess what happened? β
"Then the customer forcibly looked at it, and the prostitute fell with it, and it was a dead body."
"She was all human-like, and she didn't grow flesh except for her hands."
"Pink Skull." Xiao Yucheng said.
"That's right." Minglu nodded, "I didn't expect to encounter this thing here, probably because it was taken advantage of." β
"You go find a sack, put this pile of bones back, and we'll take it back and check it later." Minglu clapped his hands and got up and said.
"Okay."
"And Director Wang." As soon as Ming Lufu turned around, Director Wang immediately stood upright.
"Miss Ming!"
"Don't be too nervous." Ming Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm sorry for causing you some trouble today, and I will compensate you accordingly afterwards." We are also on a mission. You should also understand this matter, and you should keep it a secret. We will personally discuss with you, and you can leave the rest alone. β
Director Wang is naturally well versed in the doorway, which is not something that an ordinary subordinate can manage, and there is compensation, which is already a good result.
"I understand, Miss Ming, don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter secret."
"Well, thank you."
β¦β¦
Minglu and Xiao Yucheng took back the white bones and asked the driver to take them back to the car first, and Director Wang sent the other two workers back.
Minglu took back the crimson flower.
"What the hell is this flower?"
"Ghost flower."
"Ghost flower?" Xiao Yucheng worked hard to digest the name, but it was very appropriate.
Minglu pouted: "Don't say that I always drag the text, this ghost flower was also found when I was looking through ancient books before." This kind of ghost flower has been mentioned several times in "Ji Shen Lu", saying that the monk Min Chu of Fayun Temple and the businessman Zhang were originally friends, and then Zhang died, but Min Chu met Zhang who had become a ghost on the road, and the two walked together, and met a woman selling flowers on the road, and Zhang told SΓΉ Min Chu: This woman is also a ghost, and the flowers she sells are also used by ghosts, and there is nothing to see in the world. β
Minglu paused and continued:
"Anyone who laughs at the sight of this flower is a ghost."
She smiled, and the conversation turned.
"So, knowledge changes destiny."
"After so many years, these stunned ghosts are still the same as in the stories of the year, laughing when they see ghosts, thinking that we humans are short-sighted. So, it's terrible to be uneducated. β
"Why didn't that man think about saving their IQ when he was using these skeleton ghosts?"
Xiao Yucheng: ......
He felt like he could save it.
Skeleton ghosts, forget it.
The two walked and walked, and Minglu suddenly stopped and looked at him with a careless look: "Do you know what the ghost flower is?" β
"What?"
Naturally, he couldn't have known.
Minglu seemed to be smiling, and with a flick of his right hand, the ghost flower in his hand drew an arc and fell lightly into the canal on the side of the road.
It was obviously a weightless flower, but Xiao Yucheng heard the sound of splashing.
He turned his head and looked into the canal.
Pupils constricted.
Minglu's ruthless voice sounded again:
"It's a dead man's hand."
