Chapter 857: Do You Know Me?
"Okay, I promise, but I need to know something about the black paper lantern, and..."
After thinking for a while, Lin Mo still chose to agree, helping the old man to be more alone is not a big deal for Lin Mo, in comparison, Lin Mo cares more about the black paper lantern in the old man's hand, Lin Mo came for this thing this time.
Although it is a pity that I can only borrow this black paper lantern, but since the bottom line of the old man has been discovered, there is no need to entangle.
"Although it is still unclear why this old lady insists so much, since the other party asked me to help her do things, then it will definitely not harm me at the moment, and if I think correctly, there is no way to surpass the undead in this community."
"In this case, it doesn't do her any good to hurt me, unless she wanted to hurt me from the beginning, but it doesn't seem to do her any good to hurt me."
Lin Mo thought for a while, although he didn't perceive any hostility from this old man, but he didn't believe this old man, the previous security guard, let Lin Mo realize that the old man was not as simple as it seemed.
"Do you know who I am?"
Without continuing the topic just now, Lin Mo suddenly raised a question that had nothing to do with the matter discussed by the two before.
Although he didn't detect any hostility from the old man's body, Lin Mo also believed that even if the old man was desperate to find someone to help, he would not find someone who followed her into the community for no reason.
Without experiencing something, you never know who is smiling at you, and the next second, what he will do to you.
A person follows you from the door of the community all the way back to the house, and then you not only don't have any hostility towards this person, but you also take the initiative to ask the other person for help, this thing is not normal, unless you know or understand the person who has entered here.
On the old lady's body, the same is true, if she doesn't know anything about Lin Mo, she just asks Lin Mo to come into the house and sit down, and then directly discuss the transaction with Lin Mo?
If Lin Mo has any other purpose, he can do it directly, of course, the other party may have some hole cards that Lin Mo doesn't know, but if this is really the case, it can only be said that it is too naïve.
There is no way to guarantee a complete victory with any hole cards, and if you don't know anything about your opponent, how can you be sure that your hole cards can threaten your opponent?
Therefore, Lin Mo was almost certain that this old man must have some understanding of him.
But the problem is that Lin Mo came to this garden community, and he only met this old man once when he went to Lu Qian's house, and there was no communication between the two at that time, and from what other people knew, this old man would hardly leave the community.
During the day, the old man would lock himself tightly in his room, and if he went out, the security guard would definitely know that according to what the security guard had said before, the old lady would not leave the garden community during the day.
In the evening, according to the old man's previous behavior of going out of the community to pay respects, the time for going back and forth did not exceed an hour at all, and when discussing the transaction with Lin Mo, the restriction on the use of black paper lanterns proposed also mentioned the condition that it could not exceed one hour.
Then it can only mean one thing, that is, this black paper lantern, no, it should be said that the old lady's black paper lantern has obvious restrictions on use, that is, it cannot exceed an hour.
Anyone who leaves the room at this time with a black paper lantern and returns only has an hour at most.
An hour is simply not enough time for the old man to leave the community and then rush to Maple Grove Street, in this case, it is almost impossible to say that the old man knows him.
But judging from the performance of the other party, the other party must have understood him, otherwise he would not have proposed that kind of trading conditions, in case Lin Mo didn't know how to exceed, so what?
The old man was silent, she didn't want it, the young man in front of her was so alert, just through the words of the two, he asked such a sharp question.
Lin Mo didn't urge, nor did he speak, he had to know this question, it was very important.
Not only this old lady, but also that Lu Qian, Lin Mo has always been unable to understand why the other party will find him, no matter what calculations the other party has, he must first choose the target.
And since the other party has taken him as a target, he must first have a certain understanding of him, but from Lin Mo to Qi Feng, the owner of the bookstore, it is only a few days, if he is still the owner of that teahouse, and the other party knows him, it is not a big deal.
Lin Mo used to be the number one person in this Maple City, and there were many people who knew him, and there were many old customers who would introduce him to business.
His business came from like this, but now he has changed to a new identity, and this identity has only been used for a few days, but in just a few days, these people have come over one by one, which makes Lin Mo start to guess whether these people already know his true identity.
"This has nothing to do with the secrets here, I don't believe you'd pick a random stranger."
Lin Mo hugged his arm, his fingers tapped gently, and he was very indifferent, but the power of the black shadow around him was ready to go, he didn't know what the old man's hole card was, if it was really that hole card, so that the old man had the confidence to face Lin Mo, then that thing would definitely be able to pose a threat to him.
Silence, there was still silence in the room, the old man didn't speak, it seemed that this matter was difficult to say, but Lin Mo couldn't give up, while thinking about this problem, Lin Mo knew that the old man in front of him might be the best person for him to solve this doubt.
Whether it is Lu Qian, Xiao Lili, or the security guard, Lin Mo can't directly ask the other party to answer this question, in the current situation, only there is an exchange of interests between this old man and him, the old man said that he can't directly tell Lin Mo the secret in this community, then this question is the premise for Lin Mo to agree to this deal.
Since opening the bookstore, waiting for these people to enter the bookstore, Lin Mo has been in a passive state, and now, when he finds that the black shadow power may be out of control, he can't continue to maintain this passive state, and he is about to start acting.
The invisible confrontation continued, and the old man still did not speak, as if this question was a very difficult question for her to answer.
But Lin Mo was not in a hurry, although he also wanted to know the situation in this community, and wanted to immediately find out what the figures wandering in the community and those guys who suddenly appeared were what they were, but after the old man said the restrictions on the use of the black paper lantern, Lin Mo was no longer in a hurry.
It had taken almost an hour for the old man to return to the room from leaving here, if this black paper lantern could really only be used for an hour a day, then Lin Mo had no way to continue using this black paper lantern today.
Without a pass, acting without permission in such a place full of unknown risks, then there was no need for Lin Mo to follow the old man into here.
What's more, knowing the answer to this question is very important to Lin Mo.
There was no longer such a hurry in his heart, and Lin Mo did not urge the old lady to answer immediately, as time passed, the old man on the opposite side seemed to have finally made a decision.
"I don't know who you are, but I was told you could help me."
The hoarse voice carried a hint of helplessness, and the old man seemed to have given up on insisting.
"Who?"
Lin Mo immediately asked, his expression became solemn, he wanted to know, who was this person, why did the other party say such things to the old man, and what did the other party know?
Or has someone already seen his true identity?
"I don't know, it's a little girl, she's pretty good."
The old man did not hesitate, and answered Lin Mo again, but this answer made Lin Mo fall into deep doubts.
