Chapter 45: Sudden Darkness
Xu Nianran is a little regretful, she really wants to see what her "real body" looks like, but she can see it in two years, and she is not in a hurry for a while.
Xing Wensu thought for a while, and said to Chen Youfei: "There are only two clues at present, one is Qin Yan and Ryan's group of international brokers, their numbers are difficult to figure out, their identities are relatively mixed, and they are elusive, it is difficult for us to track them, and the private detectives I commissioned abroad can only send back some whereabouts piecemeal." ”
He paused, glanced at Xu Nianran, and said, "They are probably watching the movement in the dark now, maybe they won't appear again until the rubbing is completed." ”
"There is also a clue that is the tomb robber who came out of the antiquities of the Jade Fuling Kingdom back then, although the clue is slim, but you should be able to find a little clue in the black and white in the industry, I will also find a way to track it down, if I can find one or two people who handled it back then, maybe I can get some clues."
Xing Wensu looked at Chen Youfei and added: "My current identity is just a student, and I don't have so much time and channels to track it down, I hope you can take a little trouble to find clues, just staring at these antiquities, it is estimated that there is no big gain."
Chen Youfei narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Okay." ”
He chatted with Mr. Pei a few more words and left with Xu Nianran.
At more than eight o'clock in the evening of the same day, Chen Youfei was taking a shower, the mobile phone vibrated vigorously, Xu Nianran was holding a pillow and curling up 'one' to read 'novels' ybdu on the sofa watching TV, seeing that his mobile phone kept vibrating, he didn't want to care, but he didn't stop, until the mobile phone fell from the coffee table to the carpet, Xu Nianran helplessly bent down to pick it up.
"With Brother Fei, on the phone!" She shouted upstairs.
But Chen Youfei was in the bathroom, and the sound of rushing water made him unable to hear the sound outside.
Xu Nianran looked at her mobile phone, she had already called seven or eight of the same number and missed it, she took her mobile phone upstairs, the door of the master bedroom was not closed, and Chen Youfei had not come out in the bathroom.
She knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother Yu Fei, there is a phone looking for you, and it keeps ringing." ”
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Chen Youfei opened the door.
Seeing the man wearing a bathrobe loosely and with water beads on his hair, Xu Nianran felt a little dry mouth.
"Oh, it's so annoying." She stuffed the phone into Chen Youfei's hand, tilting her head and not daring to look directly.
Chen Youfei looked at the mobile phone in his hand with his eyes down, it was an unfamiliar number, why was he so persevering?
He stepped out of the bathroom, sat on the edge of the bed, and swiped the answer.
Xu Nianran obediently took out a dry towel and climbed into bed to wipe Chen Youfei's hair, in fact, she wanted to eavesdrop on the phone.
"Hey." As soon as Chen Youfei spoke, he heard a scream from there, followed by the sound of something crackling and scattering all over the ground.
Chen Youfei and Xu Nianran both heard it, and the two looked at each other, who is this?
After ordering the hands-free, Chen Youfei threw his phone on the bed, he didn't want to be poisoned by the scream.
"No! Chen and Fei! Hurry up! A woman's panicked voice came from the phone.
Xu Nianran didn't recognize who this voice was for a while, and Chen Youfei frowned.
This female voice, distorted by panic and fear, is Pei Aishi.
"What are you messing about?" Chen Youfei asked with a frown.
"Nope! Hurry up! My dad was in the study just now, and suddenly he screamed, and I was startled and wanted to go and see what was wrong, but he locked the door, and now I don't know what I'm doing inside! Hurry up and see if you're okay! Pei Aishi shouted anxiously, and the last sentence even carried a hint of helplessness and begging.
Chen Youfei pondered for a moment and said, "Just come." He hung up.
It's not that he can't refuse Pei Aishi's request, but that Mr. Pei is a national treasure-level scholar who has a lot to do with him, and he can't be indifferent.
"Can I go with my brother Fei?" Xu Nianran asked, although looking at Chen Youfei's expression, there was little hope.
Chen Youfei pushed Xu Nianran out of the door and said, "Don't make a mess, you stay at home obediently, don't run around, I contacted Zhang Ziyin to come over and 'clean', she will come to the house in a while, you wait at home." ”
Xu Nianran pouted, how boring is staying at home? She pouted and returned to the sofa and watched Chen Youfei hurry out with the car keys.
The door slammed shut, and Xu Nianran sat for a while, holding the remote control to change the channel and change the channel, bored to death.
The mobile phone on the sofa rang, it was Zhang Ziyin's call, Chen Youfei asked her to "clean" it, she felt that it was more convenient to deal with these things at night, so she waited until after dark before coming to the Emerald City.
Zhang Ziyin took Zhang Ziyang around the community a few times first, and saw that the feng shui of several households was not very good, she shook her head, feng shui is a thing, believe it or not, one life, two luck and three feng shui, some people are hard, and they can't get close to the charm, such as Chen Youfei.
She first came to the top floor of the flower bed that Chen Youfei said, and sure enough, she saw a lonely phantom, Zhang Ziyin said hello to the phantom, and said that the world does not allow ghosts, and it is better to be born as soon as possible, so she turned a piece of rune paper into ashes, and as soon as the night breeze was sent, the phantom gradually became lighter, until it disappeared completely.
"Sister, you're amazing." Zhang Ziyang was on the side, carrying a backpack full of magic talisman paper on one shoulder, and gave his cousin a hand.
"It's because you're not good at learning." Zhang Ziyin took out his mobile phone and called Xu Nianran.
Xu Nianran informed Zhang Ziyin of the building number and the number of floors, then went back to the room to change his clothes, and waited for their sister and brother to come up.
A soft doorbell rang, Xu Nianran was putting on a sweater, muttering, "Why is it so fast?" "Hurriedly ran to open the door.
The second door was closed, Xu Nianran pressed the first one, she only thought that it was Zhang Ziyin's sister and brother, but she didn't expect a woman standing outside the door, the woman she met in the elevator that day.
The woman looked at Xu Nianran with a smile and said, "Hello, my little pet has come to your house, can I catch it back?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Nianran blocked the door with his body, and said vigilantly: "I didn't find any pets at home, are you mistaken?" ”
"How could you be mistaken...... There's a great guy down there, and my little pet is scared of her, you see, right behind you. The woman raised her red lips and pointed behind Xu Nianran.
Xu Nianran was skeptical, she wanted to close the door, but suddenly felt a creepy feeling behind her, as if there was a cold and sticky thing, standing behind her wetly, still very close.
The woman outside the door was still smiling, she raised a finger with a big ruby ring on her finger, pointed at Xu Nianran and said, "Look, it's playing hide and seek with me." ”
Xu Nianran stiffened her back, she had always been bold, if it was a person, she would have turned around and started fighting at this moment, but what is that sticky tongue on her shoulder?
She turned her head, but she couldn't see anything, and turned to the woman and yelled, "Don't come to my house and pretend to be a ghost! Get lost! ”
After slamming the door, the woman outside the door raised her eyebrows disapprerovingly, and said, "You can't see?" Then I'll help you. ”
She stretched out her hand and shook it one by one, and the ring on her hand skyrocketed, and in an instant, the bright light of the corridor on this floor flashed, and quickly returned to its original state.
Xu Nianran only felt that it was dark in front of her, she thought that there was a power outage, and she was in the middle of two doors, and there were no windows here, so it was pitch black.
She turned around and stumbled to touch the fingerprint lock from memory, opened the second door, and answered the living room, the sticky feeling lingered behind her, she reached out and waved it behind her, a piece of air.
Nothing, not even a little light? Not really.
Human eyes have a little night vision, as long as they adapt to the darkness, they can see a little bit of something, but Xu Nianran feels that his eyes are completely blinded at this moment and he can't see anything.
She took a deep breath, but what did the woman do just now, and she had to contact Zhang Ziyin first.
By feeling that before touching the coffee table, where was her mobile phone, she took the phone, unlocked it, and called back, and she didn't know if she had pressed it wrong, until Zhang Ziyin's voice rang: "Hey." ”
"There's a strange woman outside the door, be careful! There was a power outage and nothing could be seen. Xu Nianran said as he touched the handrail, returned to his room along the wall, and found the phoenix hairpin for self-defense from the pile of clothes.
"Blackout?" Zhang Ziyin frowned, "We just arrived at your door, no one is there, and there is no power outage." ”
"You're at the door? There's something weird about my house—"
"I feel it." Zhang Ziyin said lightly: "It's just some little tricks, you come here, I'm at the door now." ”
Xu Nianran felt that Zhang Ziyin was much more reliable than Zhang Ziyang, she leaned on the wall and went downstairs, touched the gate, opened the two-layer door, and just pushed open a crack, Zhang Ziyang grabbed her wrist and pulled it out, Zhang Ziyin held a piece of talisman paper between his two fingers and pushed it to Xu Nianran's ear.
Xu Nianran felt a heat rush into her ears, and at the same time, a terrible scream came from behind her, which scared her and wanted to dodge.
Zhang Ziyang clasped her wrist and hurriedly reminded: "Don't move, I'll burn you later!" ”
"Isn't this thing the thing on the flower bed just now, why did you come here?" Zhang Ziyang turned his head and asked his sister.
"Who knows? It seems that there is a Lord. Zhang Ziyin frowned and stepped into the house.
She looked around, this house is excellent in terms of location, house type, and home furnishings, Chen Youfei still has a deep understanding of these, and such a house doesn't look like it will provoke anything.
"The woman just said it was her pet!" Xu Nianran hurriedly added, "When you came up, didn't you see a woman? ”
"No, maybe she went down the stairs." Zhang Ziyin closed the door, and the three of them returned to the living room.
