Chapter 132: The Last One to Know
The sun shines down on the park, the birds chirp happily, and the cool breeze caresses the face through the greenery.
It was supposed to be a cheerful day, but the atmosphere in the Ghost King's Hall was a little dull.
"Okay, don't be sad one by one, Lu Xuefei has encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation, and she went out to find a chance to break through, and she didn't go to the battlefield and never returned."
Xu Lang said earnestly, "But I have also figured it out through Lu Xuefei, I know that each of you is in a different direction, and it is not good to trap you in paradise all the time, I hope that in the near future, you can also be like Lu Xuefei, leave the paradise and go outside to experience it." ”
"Boss, Xinxin don't leave you! Moreover, Sister Xue Fei was too unrighteous, and actually sneaked away while we were out on a mission, because we said before that we were going to hold a farewell banquet for her. Huang Xinxin has a more extroverted personality, and her emotions are written directly on her face, and at this time, she is the most depressed.
"You all know she's leaving?" Xu Lang grabbed the key word.
Huang Xinxin was also stunned, and then nodded.
Xu Lang looked at Bai Man again.
"I'm also going to cook a perverted and spicy eggplant for Sister Xuefei at the farewell banquet." Bai Man muttered, and he also looked very unhappy.
Xu Lang then looked around at the remaining employees, and finally, his eyes fell on Lu Xiaopang: "Xiaopang, do you know about this too?" ”
Lu Xiaopang glared and nodded, but did not speak.
Xu Lang's heart twitched fiercely, he thought that Lu Xuefei was improvising, but he didn't expect that she had already planned it.
And then he was the last to know.
"Let's go, let's go out, don't bother me if it's okay!"
Xu Lang kicked everyone out and sat alone in a chair sulking. Angry, he felt a little inexplicable, to say that Lu Xuefei's relationship with him can indeed only be regarded as average, if you count it like this, the last one to tell himself is nothing. Suddenly I felt a little bit of a philistine.
Grabbing his hair, he forced his thoughts to come out of Lu Xuefei's departure and instead devote himself to the task.
According to the photos taken by the employees, there are really a lot of advertisements for children, and there are no less than 2,000 in a single poplar town.
But the content is the same, it is all text with photos of beautiful women, and there are two phone calls below.
"This can't be a scam company, right?" Xu Lang counted the numbers inside, in fact, there were only twelve numbers, which means that most of the advertisements were duplicates.
He called one by one, and before each call, his heart was pounding, after all, it was the first time he had chatted with a fraudster.
But soon he calmed down, because all the phones were turned off, and he didn't know if it was taken by the police.
"What can I do?" Xu Lang is having a brain ache now, "The phone is useless, the text is basically similar, and the pictures have no substantive content, so how can this task be done?" ”
……
Of course, what Xu Lang said must be angry. Because it didn't take long for him to pick up his phone again and continue his research.
This time I really made a different discovery.
On one of the ads, there is a line of numbers in addition to the original message.
Judging from the photo, it was posted on the back of a telephone pole and written with a yellow highlighter.
“286?”
"Hong Gang, come over here."
Xu Lang called Hong Gang over and handed over the mobile phone: "This is the photo you sent, right?" Do you remember where it was taken? ”
Hong Gang looked at it carefully before he said, "On a telephone pole in the comprehensive market." Boss, do you have a clue? ”
"It's not clear yet, I'm going to go there myself and see how it goes."
Xu Lang patted Hong Gang on the shoulder and continued, "In addition, Hong Gang, I have always valued you, and I have entrusted you with many things. So, you can't hide from me all the important things in Paradise. ”
As soon as Hong Gang heard it, he knew that Xu Lang was referring to Lu Xuefei's matter, and he smiled bitterly: "Boss, you blame us, in fact, we all thought that you were the first to know, after all, you are the boss." I didn't expect Sister Xuefei to be the last to tell you. ”
"So, I'm wrong about everyone." Xu Lang was embarrassed.
……
The comprehensive market of Poplar Town has been crowded with people early in the morning, and all kinds of cries and selling are endless.
Xu Lang carried his bag and shuttled through the flow of people, and finally found the telephone pole that Hong Gang said.
According to the system's previous routine, this number will not appear in front of his eyes in vain, and the 90% probability clue should be here.
"The advertising paper has not been destroyed, which means that the number is complete."
"So what does that number mean? 286 blocks? 2.86 million? ”
"Or is it a connector code? Password? ”
Xu Lang's mind was running fast, constantly proposing a possibility, and then denying it.
Just when he was clueless, his eyes caught a glimpse of the house number on the wall next to him—129 Market Road.
"Is it the house number?" A new train of thought opened up in front of Xu Lang's eyes.
……
However, an hour passed, and Xu Lang did not fail to find the house number of "286".
"Is this really just an ordinary graffiti that has nothing to do with my mission?" Xu Lang began to deny his conjectures.
"Xu Lang? You're here to buy groceries, huh? At this moment, a man in a police uniform with a vegetable in his hand walked over.
"Uncle Liu? Ah, I'm going for a walk. ”
Xu Lang saw that Uncle Liu's face was still a little tired, and asked, "You were on duty last night?" ”
"Yes, Qin Xiaolu was transferred to the city bureau, and now he can only be on duty by an old comrade like me." Uncle Liu said with a smile, "However, I also enjoy the feeling of coming here to have some breakfast, buy some food, and visit the market by the way after my shift." ”
"You're not an old comrade, look at this police uniform on your body, look at it and feel more energetic!" Xu Lang followed as soon as he slipped a rainbow fart.
"Hahaha, you kid can talk! By the way, the gates of paradise, you
What are you going to do? I don't think Qiu Peiren will be willing to fulfill his promise today and transport those soil away, right? Uncle Liu asked.
"Regardless of him, there is not only one door in paradise anyway, and he can keep it as long as he likes." Xu Lang didn't bother to think about these things now, and said directly, "Uncle Liu, do you know where No. 286 is near our comprehensive market?" ”
"Huh?" Uncle Liu thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, there is not a single street in our town that has a house number of more than two hundred. ”
"That's right." Xu Lang was stunned.
"What's wrong? Is this number 286 important? ”
"It can't be said to be important, that is, someone left me an anagram and asked me to come to this number 286." As he spoke, Xu Lang enlarged the photo sent by Hong Gang to only those few numbers, and then pointed it out to Uncle Liu.
"This ......" Uncle Liu looked at it for a moment, "It's just a number, this has no beginning or end, and it can't be said to be the house number." Maybe it's not a '2', it's the letter 'Z'! ”
Xu Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he thanked him again and again: "I know, thank you Uncle Liu!" ”
"That's what I guessed. Don't delay you. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Uncle Liu, you have given me a new idea!"
……
"It's not '2', it's 'Z'...... What does Z mean? ”
Xu Lang sent Liu Liu away and continued to ponder.
Finally, he found the old man who sold fruit next to him, first bought a little fruit, and then asked him about the names of the roads and alleys near the general market.
"Zhongyi Road, it should be you."
After thinking about it, Xu Lang locked his eyes on Zhongyi Road.
The letter "Z" will not be the first letter of pinyin of "loyalty".
The comprehensive market is not large, and there are not many nearby streets, and this Zhongyi Road has actually left the scope of the comprehensive market and came to the residential area next to it.
The houses on Zhongyi Road are all old houses, which are basically more than 40 years old.
Because of its awkward location, on the edge of the integrated market, no one wants to open a shop here, so most homeowners have not renovated it, nor are they too lazy to rebuild, just waiting for demolition.
I heard that there are many old banyan trees on the road, which shade the sky and the sun, but it is very suitable for enjoying the shade.
So the old man who lived there not only did not cut off the extra branches, but made a few stone benches and chairs under the tree.
When Xu Lang came here, there were already groups of uncles playing chess in the shade of the trees, a few children were playing next to them, and there were aunts picking vegetables not far away.
"This life is quite leisurely, my mission this time, shouldn't it be to play chess with the masters and win 86 games in a row?"
Xu Lang was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he didn't know the content of the task yet.
After teasing himself a bit, he still put his first goal on the house number.
Finally, at the very edge of Zhongyi Road, he found "No. 86 Zhongyi Road".
"Damn, playing so big?"
