Chapter 798: Strange Neighbors
The time soon came to the afternoon, and no one in Lin Mo's bookstore came to care for him, which was a little surprising, but it was also reasonable, Lin Mo thought that after the woman left, other people would come to the bookstore.
But the current situation tells him that the other party is not so stupid.
Lin Mo didn't care too much about this kind of innocuous thing that was just a waste of time, after all, he didn't have much of anything now, and this time was a lot.
Standing up from the chair, the constantly trembling shadow under his feet regained his calm, although it seemed that Lin Mo was resting, but in fact, he had been exercising the power of the shadow, since he had to adapt to his current identity and completely dissociate himself from the original him, he had to master this new power.
After all, you can't just think about breaking the seal when you encounter danger, and when the time comes, the person you want to explore has already revealed your identity before it has been detected, which is definitely not possible.
After packing up his things, he was already very sure at this time that someone must have known about his treatment of Liao Yu that day, and now this woman named Lu Qian must have understood this because she came to find Lin Mo and asked him to help solve the matter of Xiao Lili.
So Lin Mo didn't do anything to hide it, and found a backpack with a lot of yellow charms, black dog blood, and some other things in it.
For drawing talismans, Lin Mo's mastery can only be said to be relatively rudimentary, and it is impossible to be as skilled as some people who specialize in this way, but there is no difficulty in drawing some elementary talisman paper.
Of course, the effect of this primary rune paper is definitely not as powerful as that of the high-level rune paper, but Lin Mo's means are no longer here, so naturally he doesn't have to care too much, just learn some bells and whistles methods thoroughly, and it is enough to be able to disguise the real means.
Carrying a backpack, he walked out of the bookstore, locked the door of the bookstore, and looked at the bustling crowd, Lin Mo had the urge to go home and wait until the evening to come out.
However, the money has already been collected, and it is impossible not to do anything.
Finding people is not what Lin Mo is good at, and although this mission says that it is to find someone, it is actually not the case, looking at the home address sent by Lu Qian on the phone, Lin Mo felt that it was better to go to their house to see the situation first, to see if this matter was because of the nanny, or because of something wrong with Lu Qian's family.
took a taxi, all the way to the garden community, this is where Lu Qian and the others live, walked into the community, found Building No. 4, looked at the address, Lin Motan walked upstairs frankly.
No. 404, Building 4, Garden Community, this is the address sent by Lu Qian to Lin Mo, which is where they live now.
When he saw this address, Lin Mo couldn't help frowning in his heart, generally speaking, because 4 is more similar to death, few people will choose such a number plate with several 4s, and Chinese people are more inclined to 6 or 8.
Of course, not everyone cares about these things, and in terms of spirits, whether something strange happens in a place really has nothing to do with the house number.
Coming to the door of 404, Lin Mo knocked on the door.
"Knock Knock"
After knocking on the door a few times, Lin Mo stood at the door of the room and waited, but no one came to open the door after waiting for a long time.
"Knock Knock"
"Anyone? Can you open the door? ”
Lin Mo knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no response inside, according to what Lu Qian said, there was an old man at home who needed to be taken care of, so in time Lu Qian went out to look for Xiao Lili, there would definitely be a nanny guarding the house, but after waiting for such a long time, no one came to open the door, which made Lin Mo feel a little weird.
After thinking about it, since it might be that Lu Qian was not at home, it was not very good for him to come to visit rashly, and he was a little annoyed by his carelessness, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Lu Qian to ask about the time and Xiao Lili's condition.
"Squeak~"
Lin Mo just took out his mobile phone, but the door opposite 404 was pushed open, and an old man poked his head out and glanced in Lin Mo's direction.
Seeing this neighbor come out, Lin Mo showed a relatively kind smile, and opened his mouth to ask the old man, "Auntie, this family..."
"Bang"
Before Lin Mo finished speaking, the old man suddenly closed the door again, and he didn't give Lin Mo a chance to ask at all, but when he closed the door, Lin Mo felt that a light flashed in the corridor, as if there was something in the door that could reflect the light.
"What's the situation?"
was baffled by the old man's actions, but Lin Mo didn't take it too seriously, probably because the old man felt that he was knocking on the door noisily, so he came out to remind him.
The elderly don't sleep very well, so if they really want to rest, someone happens to make noise, it is estimated that they will feel very troubled, thinking so, it can be regarded as comforting themselves, Lin Mo took the phone, walked in the direction of the elevator, and did not wait at the door of Lu Xi's house.
"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~"
"Hey, hello."
The phone was answered, and Lucy's somewhat tired voice came from the other side.
Hearing this formulaic greeting, Lin Mo was slightly stunned, and then said: "Ms. Lu, I am the owner of the bookstore, I have no news from Lily here, I want to go to your house to see if I can find clues about Lily's departure, look, do you have time now?" ”
"Boss Qi?"
Lu Qian's obviously surprised tone obviously didn't expect Lin Mo to call her.
"That, Boss Qi, I'm not at home now, otherwise, you wait a minute, I'll drive to the bookstore to pick you up immediately, and then we'll go to my house together."
The voice was slightly nervous, the speed of speech increased significantly, and on the other side of the phone, there was the sound of something falling, Lin Mo's eyes trembled slightly, but it was not broken.
"No need, just come back directly, haven't you already sent me the address? I'm walking in the direction of your house, and by the time you get home, I guess I'll already be there. ”
Lin Mo didn't say that he was standing at the entrance of the safe passage on Lu Qian's floor at this time, but only told Lu Qian that he was still walking in the direction of her house.
"Huh? You've already passed, wait, I'll rush back at once, if you arrive first, I'll ask you to wait a while. ”
There was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and a series of clattering footsteps, Lu Qian on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a place where many people worked, not noisy, but could hear some words to discuss what plan.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you downstairs."
Lin Mo said this, stretched out his hand to open the door of the safe passage, and walked towards the bottom of the stairs, but when the door of the safe passage was about to close, Lin Mo heard the "squeak" of the door opening again.
Reaching out and holding the door, through the crack in the door, Lin Mo saw that there was a circular light on the wall slowly sliding, it was the light reflected by a mirror, and with the movement of the light and shadow, the creaking sound had been sounding.
Lin Mo knew that this was the old man at the door, and opened the door again.
"It's kind of interesting."
Lin Mo's voice on the phone just now was not loud, and it was far away from the doors of the two rooms, in this case, the other party should not be able to hear Lin Mo's voice, but the old man actually opened the door again at this time, and the purpose was naturally very clear.
If it is said that the other party quarreled with her because of Lin Mo before, then this action now can only prove that this has nothing to do with whether or not to quarrel.
From the beginning, the old man didn't open the door because he was noisy when he knocked on the door, but wanted to see who was knocking on the house opposite her house, and at this time, he opened the door again just to see if Lin Mo hadn't left yet.
The old man's obviously abnormal behavior made Lin Mo remember it in his heart, and gently closed the door of the safe passage, although he knew that this old man was acting strangely, but Lin Mo didn't ask anything now.
One is the attitude of the other party before, which proves that the other party doesn't want to say anything to Lin Mo at all, and he won't get anything useful when he goes up, and in addition, some things, when the mystery is not revealed, it is still necessary to retain some mystery to be fun.
