Chapter 295: Let Me Lean on Your Shoulder
"Master, I have a strong premonition." The fat man looked at me directly, and said word by word: "The person my aunt was going to ask tonight was my mother." ”
I was stunned.
It's not like I haven't thought about this speculation.
It's just that this guess came out of the fat man's mouth, which more or less surprised me, and I didn't know how to answer the fat man's words.
After being stunned for a moment, I asked tentatively, "Mr. Xiao, did Miss Ji tell you something?" ”
"Yanran?"
The fat man asked rhetorically, "What can she say?" ”
"No, no."
I hastened to deny it.
It seems that Ji Yanran's suspicion of Mrs. Ji and the discovery that she secretly followed Mrs. Ji haven't told the fat man yet, only told me alone!
For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.
At that moment, I felt a heavy weight on my shoulders.
Just a few days after I arrived at Ji's house, I have been entrusted with important tasks by the fat brothers and sisters one after another, and I have to face the endless things in the Ji family, which is really a headache.
"Mr. Xiao, it's time for us to go back." I was afraid that the fat man would continue to ask and expose Ji Yanran, so I quickly stretched out my hand to the fat man.
The fat man let out a long sigh and handed me his hand anyway.
I took a slight breath and pulled the fat man up from the ground.
On the way back, the fat man was stunned for a long time, and when he was about to arrive at the Ji family's courtyard, he suddenly said with envy, "Master, I envy you, no matter what major events you encounter, you can be calm and calm as before." Unlike me, at the slightest disturbance, the whole person panicked and began to move around like a fly without a head. If it weren't for the master by my side, I would have had a hard time right now. ”
Syllable!
I got out of the car and hit the taxi door.
A chill unique to the night hit the face.
It turns out that I have been in Hehai City for nearly two months, and the solar terms are gradually moving from summer to autumn.
"Mr. Xiao, my parents died when I was a child." I wrapped myself in a shirt and walked towards the courtyard, "Just before I came to Hehai City, I knew that I was not my grandfather's own grandson, and the second and third uncles I had called for twenty years were not my second and third uncles. ”
After walking a few steps, I realized that the fat man had not followed.
"Mr. Xiao?"
I looked back in surprise.
Seeing that the fat man was still standing there and looking at me, when he saw me turn around, he called me in a low voice, "It turns out that the master is also a hard-working person." ”
Hardy?
I smiled.
"No, my life is not bitter, my grandfather and second uncle and third uncle did not treat me badly." Although I looked light, I unconsciously overflowed a trace of bitterness in my heart, "Compared with me, Mr. Xiao at least knows who his relatives are. Now that something has happened to the Ji family, I will help Mr. Xiao go all out, Mr. Xiao doesn't have to worry. ”
When I said that, there was a little unnaturalness on my face.
I've never said this kind of "meaty" before.
Unexpectedly, the first time I said this kind of thing, it was actually said to a fat man.
The fat man pondered for a moment, swept away the gloom just now, strode towards me, walked up to me, and bowed deeply to me, "Master, thank you!" With your words, what the hell am I Xiao Kai afraid of! ”
I was stunned.
He bowed to me suddenly, and I was startled.
Hahaha......
After a pause, the fat man and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Quick, go over there and look for it!"
"Jinze, how are you over there, have you found it?"
"Hurry up, block all the places where you can get out, don't let him go!"
……
Before the laughter was over, he suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps in the courtyard, accompanied by a burst of shouting.
There's an accident in the courtyard again!
The fat man and I looked at each other, and immediately rushed towards the courtyard together.
"Master, let's go in through the back door, so as not to be bumped into by Jinlin and them, and it is time to say that I am not doing my job." After running to the vicinity of the courtyard, the fat man suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly pulled me to run towards the backyard, for fear of being hit by Ji Jinlin and them.
I grabbed him, "No, let's go to the front door!" ”
"What?"
The fat man exclaimed, "If you enter through the front door now, you will be bumped!" What if they find out? ”
I dragged him to the front door, and pointed with my chin in the direction of the backyard of the Ji family's courtyard, "Mr. Xiao, look at the back." ”
"What's wrong?"
The fat man looked back.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the glow of a flashlight passing through the wall.
Apparently, there are also people in the backyard looking for something.
"Go through the front door, be dignified, and explain whatever we go out for." I let go of the fat man, walked steadily towards the courtyard, and said lightly: "If we go in through the wall in the backyard, it will be difficult to explain if we are caught." ”
The fat man quickly followed me, and Han Han smiled, "Master, fortunately you grabbed me." If we climb over the wall and get in, we will be considered thieves. ”
I didn't say anything more, but walked briskly towards the front yard.
Old lady Ji is unconscious now, and the Ji family is like a great enemy, but at this time, something big must have happened.
The fat man followed me.
We walked briskly into the front yard.
As soon as I walked into the gate of the front yard, I saw Ji Jinlin sweeping around with a few people and flashlights in his hands, and walked over.
"Big brother? Master Lee? ”
Seeing me and the fat man walking in from the main entrance, Ji Jinlin was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "In the middle of the night, why did you come back from outside at this time?" ”
I glanced at the fat man.
The fat man understood, scratched his head, and quickly made an excuse, "There are so many things going on at home, I can't sleep at night when I'm irritable, so I took Master Li out for a meal together...... Jinlin, this, what's wrong? What are you looking for? ”
"Someone went to Master Hong's room at night."
Ji Jinlin glanced at a few people behind him, and said in a low voice: "Not long after he entered the room, he was discovered by Xiaozhou. However, when Xiaozhou ran into the house, the man had already jumped out of the window and fled, and Xiaozhou didn't have time to see the person's appearance, so he could only send someone to block all the doors and windows, block all the ways for the person to escape, and then send someone to search vigorously to see if he could find that person. ”
I frowned.
Someone secretly went to Master Hong's room?
Could it be that Mrs. Ji?
However, I have been to Master Hong's room, the window is very high from the ground, and it is not very easy to jump out, can Mrs. Ji do it?
"Second Young Master, what's wrong with Master Hong's room? Or, is there something missing? I asked Ji Jinlin.
"Master Li is really like a god."
Ji Jinlin's eyes were full of appreciation, "The pendant that Master Hong was carrying is gone. If it was something else, it would not be easy to find, but this pendant Master Hong has been wearing outside, and it is easy to find that the pendant was stolen by that person! ”
The pendant that Master Hong wears with him?
I seem to have a vague impression.
The main thing is that the pendant is the size of a baby's fist, not only has a strange shape, but also has a turquoise color, but it is worn by Master Hong swaggering on his chest, and it is difficult not to be noticed.
That's weird.
On the first night of arriving at Ji's house, Master Hong was first killed by the mirror demon.
Then someone secretly took Master Hong's pendant.
Also, the things that happened in the Ji family are not said one after another, and each one is more bizarre than the other, and it seems that there is no connection and no clue.
"Jinlin, I'll look for it with you!"
The fat man volunteered to look for it together.
Ji Jinlin glanced at me meaningfully, and then nodded, "Okay!" Then, let's also bother Master Li to follow the eldest brother to help find it. I'm afraid that person is dangerous and hurts my eldest brother. ”
His reasons are sound.
I had no choice but to say no.
"Then it's hard for Big Brother and Master Li!" After Ji Jinlin said a word, he led a few people to look for it along the courtyard wall on the left side of the front yard of the other courtyard.
The fat man and I followed the right side of the courtyard wall of the other courtyard.
When Ji Jinlin and the others walked away, the fat man said apologetically: "Master, in the middle of the night, I asked you to go to the villa with me, not to mention, but also to help me find someone together." However, in front of my subordinates, I can't refute Jinlin, and I hope the master will understand. ”
"It's fine."
I said lightly.
Now, I also want to know who came into Master Hong's room in the middle of the night and took his pendant.
Next, we searched for two hours.
But I didn't even find the shadow of that person!
Although the fat man was disappointed, he was even more reluctant to let me help find me for so long, and personally sent me back to my room in the backyard.
He was going to send me upstairs, but I refused.
"Thank you, Master!" Before leaving, the fat man thanked me sincerely.
Here he is again!
I waved my hand and turned to go upstairs.
The light in Xiao He's room was dark, and he was obviously asleep. I didn't turn on the lights either, so I went up to the second floor and went straight to my room.
Squeak.
I pushed the door open.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Ji Yanran sitting on the sofa in the room.
"Miss Ji?" I subconsciously glanced at the door and unexpectedly asked, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing in my room?" ”
Ji Yanran slowly looked up at me, "Wait for you." ”
When she looked up, I was startled.
I saw that Ji Yanran's little face was pale, her cheeks were full of tears, and her originally youthful and beautiful little face was full of despair and exhaustion at the moment.
"Miss Ji, what's going on?"
I walked quickly to the couch and cautiously asked, "What's going on?" ”
Ji Yanran shook her head, "It's nothing." ”
She said it was fine, but tears welled up again. Ji Yanran, who was arrogant and arrogant in the past, looks fragile like a porcelain doll at the moment, which makes people feel pity.
"What the hell is going on?"
I'm the person who can't see a woman crying, and my tone can't help but be anxious, "You came to me in the middle of the night, you didn't come to me to cry, right?" ”
"Come here."
Ji Yanran beckoned to me.
I walked over as I was told.
"You sit down." She patted the side of her couch again and motioned for me to sit down.
I sat down next to Ji Yanran, and when I saw Ji Yanran crying like a tearful person, I had to soften my voice, "Miss Ji, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Come here, let me lean on your shoulder." Ji Yanran choked up and slowly leaned towards me.
