Chapter 924: Suspicion of the Old Lady
Suddenly, seeing a person sitting on the sofa, Lin Mo subconsciously became vigilant, but then realized that this was not his house, and it was a very normal thing to have someone in it.
On the contrary, it was a little strange that he, the intruder, would be surprised by the owner of this room.
Despite this, Lin Mo still integrated the black shadow into the darkness of the entire room for the first time, and only after noticing anything unusual did he walk towards the sofa.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I was delayed yesterday, so I didn't come."
When he got closer, Lin Mo roughly saw the figure of the person, that person was none other than the old lady who had made a deal with Lin Mo before, asked Lin Mo to help find his son's soul, and lent the black paper lantern to Lin Mo to use.
"It's okay, the lantern is ready for you, you can take it."
The old man didn't say much, it seemed that he was sitting here just to wait for Lin Mo's arrival.
Through the faint light shining in from the window, Lin Mo saw the old man stretch out his hand and point to a black object on the coffee table, and then stood up from the sofa, as if he wanted to return to the room.
Glancing at the black paper lantern on the table, and the old man who was about to return to the room, Lin Mo's eyes shrank slightly, and he didn't speak, let alone stop the old man's actions, nor did he step forward to pick up the black paper lantern.
Just stood there and watched quietly, until the old man returned to the room, Lin Mo slowly walked to the sofa in the living room and picked up the black paper lantern from the coffee table.
"Sure enough, it's the same thing."
Sniffing the smell of the lamp oil in the black paper lantern, Lin Mo found that the thing was the same as the grease contained in the small box that Feng Lao gave him.
"This old lady is a little strange, although she said that a deal has been reached, but she didn't even ask a word from beginning to end, is she really so relieved of me?"
"Or does this old man simply not care if I can find her son's soul?"
The old man had already walked into that room at this time, and the old man's attitude made Lin Mo very strange, after he made a deal with the old man, after the old man handed him the small jar, he never asked about her son again.
If Lin Mo thought that this old man might want to keep him away from the garden community, then now, after learning the identity of Feng Lao, Lin Mo faintly felt that things were not so simple.
"It's also possible that what she handed over to me was not her son's soul at all, although such a situation is relatively unlikely, but it is not completely impossible."
"But if that's the case, what is her purpose?"
Walking to the side of the sofa and sitting down, Lin Mo looked at the closed room, his brows furrowed.
At first, Lin Mo just thought that there was some connection between this old man and Lu Qian, but as things developed, he gradually realized that this old man might not have too many conflicts.
can think of Feng Lao's words before, if what Feng Lao said is true, then this matter is a little strange.
Lin Mo didn't know this old man, and even if the other party could perceive the power of the black shadow, it would be impossible to conclude Lin Mo's identity, like Feng Lao, Lin Mo actually tried to expose his true identity after perceiving the other party's identity, borrowing his master's relationship to get more benefits and trust from Feng Lao.
The relationship between the two is now not only because of Master Lin Mo's relationship, but also because of the relationship of interests, and the secret in that ancient book has become the strongest bond between the two.
Liao Yu was placed with a strong defense by Lin Mo, even if Feng Lao found out about Liao Yu, Lin Mo was confident that he could protect Liao Yu's personal safety.
Mastering the ancient book and Liao Yu is, to a certain extent, mastering the secrets of the ancient book.
Lin Mo carried the ancient book with him and put it in the space of the Su Shi Mirror, in this case, no one could directly take Liao Yu and the ancient book away at the same time, and the few patterns that Lin Mo had given to Feng Lao before could only find out some of the secrets of the ancient book at most.
And the next patterns, if Feng Lao's reputation progressed, Lin Mo would not give it to him so easily.
Even though Feng Lao is Master Lin Mo's best friend, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Lin Mo's master has been dead for many years, time can make many things deteriorate, and this person's heart is the most complicated thing in the world.
Even the best friends, after so many years, it is impossible to say that nothing has changed.
And from Feng Lao's performance, Lin Mo can also deduce a conclusion that in Feng Lao, or in this garden community, there is a group of people, or something, who are staring at Feng Lao's every move.
The most important thing is that Lin Moke has not heard a lot of things related to this Feng Lao from his master's mouth, although considering the particularity of the Feng family, his master does not say it, it is because he is worried about the rules of the Feng family.
But this made Lin Mo unable to completely determine the situation of Feng Lao.
As for him revealing his true identity to Feng Lao, it was also a temptation, even if Feng Lao was a member of the Feng family, but after staying in Fengcheng for a long time, it was impossible not to understand the things on the Yin and Yang Dao.
The matter of Fengyuan Private High School caused such a big mess before, and at this time, many people were looking for Lin Mo, and it was impossible for Feng Lao to know nothing about this matter.
Lin Mo revealed his true identity to see if Feng Lao had any other thoughts and concealed his identity, just to lure some people out, and to leak his identity to Feng Lao to see if he could lead two groups of guys out.
The time had not yet reached eleven o'clock, and it had not yet become pitch black outside, and Lin Mo still had a period of time to sit in this room to rest.
Turning his head, the old man had already returned to the room, there was nothing worth observing about a wooden door in the dark, Lin Mo turned his head to look out the window, remembering that when he stood on this balcony for the first time, Lin Mo saw a lot of figures.
What happened at that time made Lin Mo still not figure out what was going on.
There were several houses in the opposite building that were still lit up, looking at the flickering lights, Lin Mo's eyes were slightly heavy, and he fell into thought again.
"Why does this old man never turn on the lights at night anymore?"
"It's impossible for her house to turn off the lights all the time, and I've only come here at night a few times, and during the day, I've never been to the old man's place, is there something I don't know about?"
Seeing the light, compared to being in the darkness at this time, when Lin Mo thought about the relationship between this old lady and Lu Qian, it was very likely that it was not as he thought, and Lin Mo also realized that there might be something hidden in it that he didn't know.
The old man does not go out during the day, and only occasionally leaves the house at night, taking a black paper lantern to burn paper outside the community.
And after Lin Mo came here, the old man couldn't go out at night, which meant that the old lady wouldn't leave the room at all.
If this old man had been in this room, where did the lamp oil come from?
Turning his gaze to the closed room, Lin Mo was thoughtful, and another thing that he couldn't figure out was that the old lady's room seemed to have never turned on the light.
Through observation, Lin Mo knew that there was no problem with the lights on before eleven o'clock in the evening in this garden community, for example, many residents in this community, including Feng Lao, turned off the lights when it was about to be eleven o'clock in the evening.
And what made Lin Mo notice this old lady before was nothing else, it was the light, it was precisely because at night, there was a fire flashing in the old man's room, that he would find this old man.
But since the other party dares to light candles in the room, it is not easy to explain the problem of not lighting the lamp.
If the other party used candles to illuminate, then forget it, but when Lin Mo came to the old man's house several times, he didn't see the old man lighting any candles or other light sources in the living room, so Lin Mo had to suspect that there was something else going on in this matter.
