Chapter XXXVIII
After two days of busyness, they couldn't find the whereabouts of the little bolt. In the blink of an eye, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and the three of them finished eating a boxed lunch in the company, and they were all a little depressed.
"Mr. Qi, it's not a way to go on like this." Ding Xiaolan complained, and said in a coquettish tone: "You see the soles of my feet are grinding out of bubbles!" ”
Qi Lu glanced at her shoes and couldn't help laughing: "Beauty, can you not wear high heels when you go to work in the future?" ”
Ding Xiaolan blushed and quickly got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks to hide her embarrassment.
Qi Lu asked Lao Wu: "What is Hu Lingyun's movement?" ”
"She seems to have lost her soul, and she runs around the city every day to find her son's whereabouts."
"In this way, Xiao Shu's disappearance is just a sudden incident, if only he could be forced to show up automatically." Qi Lu propped his chin and thought.
Lao Wu took a sip of wine and said, "I have an idea." ”
"What's the method?"
"Wait for the rabbit." Seeing that the two of them had doubts in their eyes, Lao Wu smiled and said, "According to the normal situation, tomorrow is the time to cremate Old Man Li's body, right?" ”
"yes, I didn't think of that!" Qi Lu's eyes lit up, and he also responded with a smile: "I'll call Liu Chenfei and ask him to hand over Uncle Li's funeral matters to me to Zhang Luo." ”
"It's a very human request, and he probably won't refuse."
Qi Lu said: "You work hard tonight, go and contact the relevant matters, it is best to call a few friends to send a wreath, let's not let Uncle Li go too lonely." ”
"Okay." Lao Wu said that there was no problem.
Qi Lu said to Ding Xiaolan again: "I will leave the matter of choosing the cemetery to you." ”
"Me?" Although Ding Xiaolan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qi Lu's gourd, she immediately came to her senses, nodded and said, "Time is in a hurry, I'd better go to the Laojie funeral home to find an acquaintance to help." ”
"It's been a long time since I've seen Director Zhang, and I really miss him." Qi Lu laughed hesitantly.
Seeing Ding Xiaolan coming to him, Zhang Shifan naturally agreed, and after cremating Uncle Li's body, Zhang Shifan gave him a valuable urn for free.
Qi Lu said gratefully: "Director Zhang, thank you." ”
"Oh, what kind of politeness do we have to talk about between us." Zhang Shifan responded with a smile: "It's okay to come to me often to sit here." ”
Although Qi Lu concealed his true identity when he came to apply for a job, Zhang Shifan later learned about Qi Lu's background through other channels, and thought that there would definitely be trouble to ask Qi Lu for help in the future, so he sent an urn to make a favor.
Zhang Shifan took Qi Lu and others to the cemetery he personally selected, and after Qi Lu put the ashes into the tomb, the two invited migrant workers began to fill in the soil and pour cement.
Zhang Shifan still wanted to get closer to Qi Lu, but unfortunately, someone called him at this time to find him something, so he had to say a few polite words to everyone and leave.
After Zhang Shifan left, Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little sad when she watched the migrant workers erecting tombstones, so she knelt down and kowtowed to Uncle Li a few times.
While everyone's attention was on the cemetery, Lao Wu pulled Qi Lu aside and muttered quietly.
"Why hasn't that half-breed shown up yet?"
Qi Lu said with a gloomy face: "It seems that your method doesn't work." ”
"It's hard to understand that Old Man Li was killed by this guy, so he didn't dare to show up."
"No, he can kill Uncle Li at any time if he wants, why wait until yesterday to do it?"
"It's not that Xiao Ding is smart enough to give love, so he thinks that he has been exposed before he moves to kill."
Qi Lu was silent, Lao Wu's words were not unreasonable, but he really didn't want to believe that Xiao Shui would be so cold-blooded.
After a while, the tombstone was erected, and Qi Lu saw that there was still no movement around, so he sighed and said, "Let's go back, we still have to think of a new way to lure the little bolt out." ”
At this moment, a scream came from the mountains behind the cemetery, like sorrow, like weeping, and like a wild beast wailing.
Ding Xiaolan trembled when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "This is a human voice, it is like the voice of a demon in hell." ”
"Really? I don't think so. Qi Lu cast his eyes on the low mountains, revealing a thoughtful expression.
When driving back to the company, Qi Lu suddenly said to Lao Wu: "You go back first, I still have something to do." ”
"Where do you want to go?" Ding Xiaolan suddenly became vigilant.
"I want to meet someone."
"See whom?"
"Feng Qi Niang."
"What are you looking for her for?" There was a hint of anger in Ding Xiaolan's words.
"Don't ask, in short, it's not to look for flowers and willows." Qi Lu's face showed that familiar grin again.
Ding Xiaolan said: "Since it is above board, just take me with you." ”
"Nope." Qi Lu thought for a moment, and then replied seriously: "You can't go, otherwise you will mess things up." ”
Lao Wu parked the car on the side of the road, Qi Lu got out of the car with a smile and walked away without looking back.
Ding Xiaolan looked at Qi Lu who disappeared into the sea of people, and angrily slapped the back of the chair. Lao Wu smiled bitterly and took her back to the company.
When Qi Lu knocked on Feng Qi Niang's door, he was surprised to find that Hu Qingyun was also inside.
"I didn't expect Mr. Hu to be there." Qi Lu smiled and accosted.
"Since Mr. Qi has something to do with you, then I'll leave first." Hu Qingyun also smiled at Qi Lu, and then stood up.
Feng Qiniang didn't force him to stay, and got up to send him out.
Qi Lu, who was bored, sat on the sofa and saw a well-bandaged bunch of black tulips in the center of the table, and habitually sniffed the blooming buds.
"How do you have time to come and see me?" Feng Qiniang asked him softly and closed the door casually.
Qi Lu didn't answer directly, but pointed to the bouquet and asked, "Hu Qingyun sent it?" ”
"Yes."
"Tulips are not good, the flowers are toxic to alkali, and too much contact can easily make human hair fall out."
"Really?" Feng Qi Niang giggled and said, "Don't forget that I'm not human. ”
Qi Lu shrugged his shoulders embarrassedly and said nothing.
There was a sudden silence in the room, so quiet that it seemed that even the sound of the heartbeat had stopped.
"What did Mr. Hu come to you for?" It took a while for Qi Lu to ask her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he was asking recklessly.
Fortunately, Feng Qiniang didn't mind, she smiled and said, "What can he do, it's not that he is looking for me to discuss those things in the clan." ”
Qi Lu squinted at the two remaining glasses of red wine on the table, as well as some unfinished pastries, and said coldly: "Since it's official business, why don't you talk about it in the clubhouse, but come to your house?" ”
"What, you're jealous?" Feng Qi Niang smiled, and in a trance, Qi Lu noticed that she had come to her, and was leaning her head on her shoulder.
Qi Lu was suddenly shocked, he subconsciously looked sideways, and just found Feng Qi Niang looking at him with silky eyes.
"You're thinking too much, I'm just a private detective's instinctive reaction." As he spoke, Qi Lu had calmed down his mind.
Feng Qi Niang lowered her eyes, feeling that the man beside her had an unpredictable personality, she bit her lip, raised her head stupidly, and sat on the opposite side of Qi Lu.
Qi Lu pretended not to see the disappointed expression on her face, and said, "I'm here today to ask you for a favor." ”
"Please."
Qi Lu then told her his plan.
Feng Qi Niang was stunned, put her hands crossed under her head, and looked at Qi Lu without blinking.
The strong feminine body fragrance came to his face, and Qi Lu felt that his mouth was a little dry, so he quickly shifted his gaze from her.
The faint light shone on a bitter smile flashing at the corners of Feng Qi Niang's rosy lips, and she said faintly: "You are really a good man." ”
"So you agreed?" Qi Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you helping me?" Feng Qiniang didn't answer directly, but asked him rhetorically.
"I don't want the killer to go unpunished."
"Still?"
"Also" Qi Lu was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't want you to be hurt." ”
These warm words made Feng Qi Niang's heart tremble a little, but she immediately clearly realized that the man in front of her had always kept a distance from herself.
"Well, I promise you." Feng Qi Niang calmed down, she couldn't think of any reason to refuse him.
"Excuse me Qiniang, then I'll go first." Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Qi Lu hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Downstairs, Qi Lu looked back inadvertently, and found Feng Qi Niang staring at him at the window, and suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, at this moment he regretted a little in his heart, maybe he should really bring Ding Xiaolan with him next time he came here.
After getting into the taxi, when the driver asked him where he was going, Qi Lu was stunned, because when he got into the car, he seemed to smell a faint, but very familiar smell of perfume wafting from the street. It was just a moment of hesitation, and Qi Lu remembered where he had smelled the same fragrance.
Seeing that the driver was looking at him strangely, Qi Lu hurriedly told him the address of the Semitic private club.
Qi Lu deliberately asked the driver to park the car dozens of meters in front of the private club, and when the taxi drove out of his sight, Qi Lu checked the movement left and right, and made sure that no one noticed him nearby, so he took a deep breath and jumped into the private club.
He came to the downstairs of Liu Ting'er's residence again, and just when he was thinking about whether to hang an upside-down golden hook to check the movement in Liu Ting'er's room like last time, he found that she hurriedly walked downstairs.
Qi Lu hurriedly hid herself behind the rockery where she hid last time, and saw her walk straight forward, and finally entered the building of the private club.
At this time, it was afternoon, and there were security guards wandering around the courtyard from time to time, and Qi Lu couldn't blatantly follow her, which would easily arouse the vigilance of others.
However, Qi Lu is also an old man, and this matter is not too difficult for him at all, I saw him tidy up his clothes, walked out of the rockery, and swaggered to the door of the private club.
The security guard at the door greeted him politely: "Mr. Qi, are you here?" ”
"Is Miss Liu in there?"
"Yes, she just went in."
"I happened to be looking for her, what floor is she?"
"Fifth floor."
"Oh." Qi Lu pretended to be casual and walked into the private club, and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
Liu Ting'er had disappeared, Qi Lu looked at the rooms around him with closed doors, so he walked to the counter and asked, "Beauty, which room is Liu Ting'er in?" ”
"She's in the patriarch's office. Mr. Qi, do you want me to take you there? ”
"No need, I'll just ask." Qi Lu asked casually, "Is Feng Qi Niang here today?" ”
"No, I heard that she is not feeling well and is resting at home."
"Oh, that's right, then I'll go to her house and find her." A snicker appeared in Qi Lu's thin lips, he went downstairs again, and when people were not paying attention, he walked around the outside of the private club to check the movement of this building.
It happened that Hu Qingyun's office was facing away from the street, Qi Lu couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that this is really God helping me!
Qi Lu took out an object the size of a beer bottle cap from his underwear pocket, which was also Lao Wu's masterpiece, a bugging device he had modified.
According to Lao Wu, as long as this kind of eavesdropping device is placed within 10 meters of the target of the eavesdropping, you can eavesdrop on his conversation even if he is thousands of miles away.
Qi Lu always thought that Lao Wu was bragging, but today he wanted to verify the function of this thing to see if it was as mysterious as Lao Wu said.
Qi Lu looked around again, and after making sure that no security guards would appear, he came to the corner of the wall, climbed behind Hu Qingyun's window like a sensitive gecko along the drainage pipe, and then carefully installed the bugging device on the side of the window sill.
After the installation was completed, he quickly slid down, dusted himself off, and swaggered out of the private club as he had come.
After all, it was broad daylight, and Qi Lu didn't dare to spy on Liu Ting'er's movements like last time, because the security guards would find out their whereabouts at any time.
