Chapter 32 People go to the empty building
After three days of recuperation from the old house to the safe house, Tian Zhiruo's injuries have basically recovered, and Tian Zhiruo also knows a little about what happened during these three days. With Zhang Ning taking care of her, Tian Zhiruo has changed a lot and is no longer so difficult to get along with, but she didn't expect Tian Zhiruo's real age to be only eighteen years old and a few months away. Tian Zhiruo's trouble when she went to find Yulongxuan was to avenge her grandfather, and under Zhang Ning's persuasion, Tian Zhiruo had already understood the affairs of the Ba family and the Tian family. It was a matter of time before the Tian family was found out about selling fakes, and it was impossible to kill all the people who knew how to do it! After Tian Zhiruo figured out this matter, she had the idea of giving up revenge, and she recognized Zhang Ning as her sister, and the resentment on her body slowly began to fade, revealing the lively nature of the little girl......
Early the next morning, Chen Mengsheng did not tell Zhang Ning about Kui Lan, Kui Lan had almost killed Zhang Ning, and the hostility between women could never be erased. So Chen Mengsheng only told Zhao Haipeng, according to Zhao Haipeng's meaning, he asked Chen Mengsheng to pay more attention in case Kuilan would have any moths.
Chen Mengsheng didn't think that Kui Lan would be weird again, and refused Zhao Haipeng's escort out of the safe house of the Haidian Branch. At about half past ten in the morning, Chen Mengsheng was still waiting for Kui Lan at the gate of the park, and after waiting for a long time, he saw Kui Lan driving a black Cadillac business car parked in front of Chen Mengsheng. Chen Mengsheng could see that Kui Lan had obviously dressed up carefully today, and her face was even more beautiful with light makeup. The beige small lapel suit on the upper body and the knee-length skirt made Chen Mengsheng almost unrecognizable, but it was Kui Lan who opened the car door for him.
Kui Lan smiled lightly: "What's wrong? Do you still want me to pick you up drunk? ”
Chen Mengsheng said embarrassedly: "Of course not, it seems that you didn't drive this car yesterday?" So I didn't recognize you at once. ”
"Well, I didn't want to be too noticeable and changed cars. I had already called my father in the morning, and he would be back in Beijing in about three or four days. But he still doesn't believe you, and if we don't have a better proof, I'm afraid my father won't see you easily. Kui Lan whispered.
Chen Mengsheng nodded and said, "Do your best, I don't have the ability to help your brother now." ”
"Huh? Will you be able to help my brother? Kui Lan suddenly braked subconsciously and looked at Chen Mengsheng, not understanding what Chen Mengsheng meant.
Of course, Chen Mengsheng wouldn't tell Kui Lan that he was once the judge of the Yang World who controlled the book of life and death, so he had to change his words and say, "Uh...... I've learned a few things in the mountains before, so I know some of them. The mantra I saw painted by the monk Puwang that day was the art of raising ghosts, and it was not saving people at all. Chen Mengsheng found an excuse that he felt lame and prevaricated.
Kui Lan also frowned when she heard Chen Mengsheng mention Puwang and said, "That lama is definitely not a good thing, he will ask my father for money and women." Last year, he dared to be rude to me, and he was slapped twice by me, but he was a lot more honest. If it weren't for my father's protection, I would have had him killed. Kui Lan said, and then he was gritting his teeth.
Chen Mengsheng was afraid that she would be too excited to drive, so she hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "How many times have you been to the Zhang family?" ”
Kui Lan replied weakly: "I went to Zhang's house two or three times three years ago, but I came back behind closed doors. If it weren't for you accompanying me, I wouldn't have dared to go to that place again. ”
"It's Qi Bo who won't let you in, Miss Zhang is also a poor person. Alas......" Chen Mengsheng thought of the little girl who had no pupils, and his heart was inexplicably sad.
Kui Lan's car drove to the Drum Tower, and he needed to get out of the car and walk, and as soon as he approached the peach grove outside the Zhang family's house on the sunny road, he would feel a cold wind blowing. The cold wind seems to blow into the marrow of a person's bones, making people shudder. Chen Mengsheng asked Kui Lan to follow his steps, and when they arrived at the door of Zhang's house, Chen Mengsheng and Kui Lan were dumbfounded. The door of the Zhang family's house was open, and the stone gourd hanging on the door, the golden toad carved on the corner of the house was gone, and only a pair of stone lions were still there......
"Huh? What's going on? Did something happen to the Zhang family? Chen Mengsheng walked into the Zhang family's house with a muttering to himself, and there was no figure in the front and back rooms, and even the furniture that had been placed was gone. Kui Lan had never been to the Zhang family's house, and when she saw Chen Mengsheng wandering around the front and back rooms, she had to follow him......
"Hey, what's going on here? Did the people of the Zhang family know that we were coming and moved out early? Kui Lan asked in surprise.
Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because of me, we were attacked a few days ago." I only thought yesterday that it might be the Zhang family's doing, and now it's useless to say anything, so let's go and inquire about the news. ”
Kui Lan asked puzzled: "If you move, you don't need to move so cleanly, these two rooms will inevitably move too thoroughly!" ”
"Yes, there must be something strange about it. If you and I take a closer look around, we may find something to gain. Chen Mengsheng walked to the living room where he saw Miss Zhang's family that day, and the antique furniture and other things in the hall earlier were completely gone.
Kuilan touched the wall with her hand in the living room, and a small amount of dust immediately appeared on her palm. Kui Lan dusted off and pointed to the stairs and asked, "This house is estimated to be hundreds of years old, and the walls have cracks in many places. If it's impossible to even move the old clutter just by moving, I think someone may have cleaned it after moving. Why does the upstairs look a little eerie? ”
"Upstairs is Miss Zhang's boudoir, and Miss Zhang's eyes are inconvenient. Let's go up and look for it, and maybe we'll find a clue that they've moved to a new house. Chen Mengsheng walked upstairs quickly and found that there was only a small room upstairs, but the windows of the room were tightly covered with thick felt cloth. No wonder Kui Lan would say that it was eerie, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the room was so dark that there was no light to penetrate.
Kui Lan cautiously followed upstairs and said, "It seems that Miss Zhang is very afraid of the light, if I live in this kind of dark room, I will definitely go crazy." ”
Chen Mengsheng stepped forward and opened the curtains of the two rooms, and the room suddenly lit up. Kui Lan pointed to a few obvious marks on the floor and said, "This should be the place where the bed was originally placed, and the head of the bed should be a dresser." This should be the closet where the clothes were originally stored, and there have been nails on both sides of the corner of the house, which may be a bathroom. ”
Chen Mengsheng nodded silently, walked to the place where the bed was placed, squatted down and said, "Miss Zhang's family, her name may be called bell or bell bell, and the location of this wall happens to be carved with many bell words at the head of the bed. ”
Kui Lan walked over and said, "Your eyes are so good, if you didn't say it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found it." These words are so lightly engraved that they should be scratched with fingernails, Miss Zhang's family carved so many bell words, maybe she is venting the bitterness in her heart! Chen Mengsheng and Kui Lan searched carefully upstairs but found nothing, put down the curtains, restored to the original state, and went downstairs......
The front room of the Zhang family should be the house where the housekeeper Qi Bo lives, and the front room is very large and has several rooms. As soon as he entered the room, Chen Mengsheng felt weird, the innermost wall of the room was smoked black, Chen Mengsheng scraped his fingers and put it on his nose and sniffed: "This wall is smoked with incense and candles for many years, is Qi Bo really a descendant of the Wu clan?" ……”
After Chen Mengsheng and Kui Lan left the Zhang family's house, they didn't go far before they saw Old Man Ma boiling bean juice in the shed. Chen Mengsheng said with a smile: "Boss Ma's business is prosperous!" ”
"TOEFL, TOEFL. You two are not here to eat now, or you two come to a bowl of bean juice and I'll ask the old woman to fry some coke rings for you. Old man Ma wiped the table neatly and welcomed Chen Mengsheng and Kui Lan into the shed.
Kui Lan frowned and said, "Boss, on this hot day, why don't you install an electric fan or something." ”
Boss Ma smiled and said: "As soon as I saw the girl, I knew that she was the owner of a big store, and we just wanted to eat it here. ”
Chen Mengsheng laughed and said, "Boss Ma, do you still know me?" ”
"Alas, there are so many people coming and going here here, I really can't stand you. Who are you? Old man Ma opened the pot and looked at the bean juice and asked.
"Didn't I ask you about the Zhang family's residence a few days ago? Why did Kung Fu Zhang's family move in a few days? Chen Mengsheng asked tentatively.
Old man Ma deliberately opened the topic and said, "Two, the bean juice will have to wait for a while." The old woman quickly fried two burnt rings and added a spicy cabbage. ”
Mrs. Wen, who was choosing vegetables in the shed, got up impatiently and went to the stove, Kui Lan smiled and took out five or six hundred-yuan tickets from her handbag and said with a smile: "Old woman, don't be busy." We are just here to inquire about something, and the Zhang family's house will definitely pass by your shed here. We just want to know where the Zhang family has moved, and we have something urgent to find him! ”
Seeing that Kui Lan was so generous, Mrs. Wen rubbed her hands on the cloth and wanted to reach out to take the money in Kui Lan's hand, but she hesitated to take it, grinning and smirking: "Girl, what do you say?" Why do you have to inquire about the whereabouts of the Zhang family, listen to your aunt's words and don't ask for trouble......"
Kui Lan smiled and took out a few more bills from his bag: "If you don't want to say it, then I'll give it to someone else, I think there are always people who understand on this street, right?" Quilan looked impatient and was ready to get up to leave.
Mrs. Wen said anxiously: "Don't mind, girl, the housekeeper of the Zhang family came to move with a few big trucks early the day before yesterday." The cart couldn't get in, and a large group of people were carrying furniture to beat me in front of the shed, and they were busy until the afternoon. I also saw that after dark, the butler Ziber went to the old mansion alone with a broom......"
Just as Mrs. Wen was talking like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, Old Man Ma hurried over and shouted, "You are crazy!" We don't know who they are, in case the Zhang family moves back, can you afford to mess with them? I don't have a doorkeeper on my mouth, and I don't want to think about what I'm eating! Get back to work and stop talking nonsense here. Mrs. Wen didn't say a word when she was scolded by Old Man Ma, but the old lady's eyes were still looking at the money in Kui Lan's hand.
Kuilan was embarrassed to leave the money on the table and walked away. But he was stopped by Old Man Ma. Old man Ma picked up the money on the table and stuffed it into Kui Lan's hand and said, "Girl, don't listen to my wife's nonsense. We don't know the whereabouts of the Zhang family, we are just doing small business. In the future, we welcome you to patronize the shop, if you come to inquire about the Zhang family, please take a few more steps to inquire about other houses. ”
