Chapter 156: The Key Person of the Mission

"Stay with my eldest grandson."

The old man's expression was a little painful, maybe he had been holding it in his heart for a long time, and without waiting for Xu Lang to ask, he said in detail: "Our family originally had two self-built houses on homesteads, because our son, daughter-in-law, and wife were all gone, and only two grandsons remained, one for each person. My eldest grandson works in the company, and my younger grandson starts his own business. Originally, we didn't agree to the demolition. But the eldest grandson's boss personally chatted with him, which can be regarded as semi-intimidating, and in the end the eldest grandson compromised, received the little demolition money, and moved out. ”

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, the Pan family is a city in the East China Sea and can be regarded as wealthy, and it is really too easy to want to be an office worker like the grandfather's eldest grandson.

And those company CEOs are unwilling to offend the Pan family, so they can only come forward to be lobbyists, and ordinary people can only accept demolition in order to work.

"After the eldest grandson took the demolition money and moved out, the relationship with the family began to deteriorate, and the younger grandson and I both felt that the eldest grandson betrayed us. So I stayed and stayed with my little grandson. ”

A trace of sadness flashed on the old man's face, and he continued: "For a while, the eldest grandson's house was renovated, and he asked me to help watch it. The palms and backs of my hands were full of meat, so I agreed, basically going to watch during the day and coming back at night. ”

"That day, the renovation team ended late, I came back a little later than usual, just got off the bus, I saw smoke floating in the sky, and when I arrived in the village, I saw a group of firefighters fighting the fire, I was black-eyed, fainted." The old man wiped his tears and said, "When I wake up...... Whining...... I found out that more than 20 of them were all dead. ”

"I came here to burn incense for them on the first seven days, and suddenly I realized that I could see them and talk to them, so I came every night since then...... If it weren't for burning incense for them every day, I might have gone with them......" Speaking of this, the old man couldn't hold back and cried.

The young male ghost in short sleeves floated over, stood beside the old man, and said, "Grandpa, don't cry, it's not your fault, it's all the people from the real estate company, they must have set the fire." ”

"Didn't you say that the gas exploded, why did you say it was arson?" Xu Lang asked.

The short-sleeved man grimace showed a sad look on his face: "At that time, the natural gas company cut off our natural gas supply because of the real estate company, citing insecurity, so we could only use gas. That afternoon, we had just filled a new batch of gas. Then, according to the plan, we went to meet with the developer that night to discuss the demolition payment, but when we arrived at the hotel, we didn't see the person in charge, so we had to come back first. At that time, everyone came to my house together to discuss the demolition, and not long after entering the door, the kitchen exploded. We also found out after we died, and the explosion from my home caused the nearby buildings to blow up with it, how is this possible? ”

After he said this, Xu Lang also noticed that there was something tired inside: "Indeed, your buildings are all separated one by one, not next to each other, even if it is a gas explosion, it is impossible to affect that much...... The only possibility is that all the gas canisters have been moved in advance, so when you enter the door, you don't think there is any difference? Like the smell of a gas leak, or the signs of someone sneaking in? Speaking of which, it's not easy to detonate unknowingly. ”

"It doesn't seem to be any different. Didn't smell anything either. The short-sleeved ghost shook his head, "We don't know how those people did that. ”

"What about the ghost market? What do you say about ghost markets? Xu Lang asked, he suddenly remembered

There is a Goli air conditioner here, which means that these ghosts are somewhat related to the ghost market, in this case, the ghost market should not be ignored.

The short-sleeved ghost replied truthfully: "The ghost market means that when a person dies, the things before his life are gone, even if we ghosts have dealings with the ghost market, they have no obligation and will not help us to investigate, otherwise, it will cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

When Xu Lang heard this, his heart also relaxed slightly, he knew very well that there were dangers everywhere in the spirit world, and things that prey on the weak and the strong happened from time to time.

It's not easy for a wandering soul like Lu Xiaopang to stutter, and it's also very difficult to get in a group, after all, everyone doesn't trust each other.

And this group of ghosts knew each other themselves, and they died because of the same thing, so they trusted each other more, so they could be united, and no other ghost would dare to bully at will.

"Do you have any other clues? Maybe I can help you, strictly speaking, I'm not from the ghost city, and I'm not breaking the rules. Xu Lang asked.

"Really?"

In an instant, all the ghosts who were smoking incense rushed over, looking at Xu Lang with expectant eyes one by one.

The old man was even more excited, and directly held Xu Lang's hand: "Young man, if you are willing to help, I will make you chicken soup and rice for free every night in the future!" ”

"I don't need chicken soup and rice, don't worry, if I can help, I will definitely help." Xu Lang knew that this matter was a hurdle in their hearts, a dead knot that was difficult to untie.

"Thank you...... Eh, I don't know what the benefactor is called? The short-sleeved ghost asked.

Hearing the word "benefactor", Xu Lang scratched his head embarrassedly: "My name is Xu Lang, and I am the ...... who opened the paradise."

Xu Lang...... Paradise...... Are you Boss Xu of Late Night Park? The short-sleeved ghost exclaimed.

The other ghosts also began to talk and get restless.

Xu Lang didn't expect his fame to be so big, and nodded: "It's me." ”

Then he said solemnly: "You should tell me some details of this matter first." ”

……

"Wait, you said a guy called a tabula rasa?"

Xu Lang is recording the details of what they said, including the name of the company, the general manager, and the names of lawyers and the like, as well as the contact process between them, and so on.

When he heard the word tabula, his heart shook and he interrupted them.

"Yes, this one is called a tabula, it's a little gangster, it seems that it's because he has a whiteboard tattoo on his arm, that's why it's called tabula, it's he who took the lead in harassing us, and he also splashed red paint on our door......" The short-sleeved ghost saw Xu Lang's expression, felt a little strange, and asked, "Is there a problem with this whiteboard?" ”

"It's not certain yet, you go on."

Xu Lang was already excited in his heart, at first, he thought that the task of this "mahjong" was very likely to be related to this chicken late-night canteen, but now it seems that maybe this person called "tabula rasa" is the key.

But alas, none of these ghosts know where the whiteboard is, as they can't leave the area at will, unless they have permission from the ghost market.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you." Before Xu Lang left, he gave them a promise.

With more than 20 lives, even if there is no task, he will definitely go all out.

……

Poplar Town Police Station.

"Uncle Liu, I bought some duck necks for everyone, and some other snacks." Xu Lang put the things on the table with a flattering look.

"Xu Lang, you are so polite."

Uncle Liu smiled and distributed the snacks to the policeman on duty, and then asked straight to the point: "Say, in the middle of the night, what's the matter with me?" ”

"Uncle Liu, I want to inquire about someone with you, his name is Bai Zhenlong, his nickname is Baiban, and he is a gangster." Xu Lang said with a grin.

He thought about looking for Qin Xiaolu, but Qin Xiaolu was likely to tell Li Tai that things would be more troublesome in this way, so after thinking about it, he could only come to Uncle Liu for help.

"What do you say about him? I know. He is from Maple Town next door, and at first he was just messing around the town, and then he went to the city to talk to some so-called big guy, but in recent years, he didn't know how, and suddenly became rich. Now the nickname has been changed to Bailong, and a Bailong KTV has also been opened, and it is said that there are some debt collection businesses. Uncle Liu frowned and said, "What's wrong?" He's getting you in trouble? ”

"Not really, I'll just ask." Xu Lang said with a smile.

Uncle Liu didn't continue to ask, after all, the relationship between Xu Lang and Li Tai was very good, maybe Li Tai asked Xu Lang to ask about this matter in private.

……

Poplar Town, City God Temple.

The City God Temple is not far from the police station, and since they have all arrived at the police station, Xu Lang simply came to the City God Temple to get some incense for Liu Daben.

"Benzi, how are you doing?" Xu Lang put the three sticks of incense on the ground, looked at Liu Daben, who was smoking incense, and asked.

"I'm fine, I just don't know if those drug dealers have caught me." Liu Daben replied while smoking incense.

"Don't worry, with your evidence, those people will be arrested soon, and when the time comes, you will be a big hero." Xu Lang said, "Is there anything else you need help with?" ”

Liu Daben wanted to speak and stopped, and finally smiled and said, "This, let's talk about it later." ”

……

was busy, and when Xu Lang returned to the late-night park, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning.

In the past, the number of visitors to the park was decreasing, but today there are still many people here.

They are all tourists who have already played the project, some sit in the leisure area and play with their mobile phones, and some even lie directly on the stone bench and fall asleep.

"Hong Gang, what's going on?" Xu Lang called Hong Gang over and asked.

"Boss, because the weather is too hot, they don't want to go back, saying that they want to cool off here, and the closing time hasn't come yet, and we can't just drive people away......" Hong Gang said embarrassedly, "When it's time to close, they should leave......

"Nowadays, people really do everything to save money." Xu Lang thought for a moment and said, "Whether they leave or not, turn off the air conditioner after dawn." Don't violently drive people away, lest you be on the hot search again. ”

After explaining clearly, Xu Lang went to take a shower and fell asleep on the bed.
