Chapter 19: Coffee, Please
The day passed quickly. Lu Yunjie's bookstore didn't do much business, and at eight o'clock in the evening, he closed the door early, and then took a taxi to the eighth master's bar.
Before this, Lu Yunjie had already told the Eighth Master about the Faceless King, and the Eighth Master was not surprised by Lin Fei's death. After all, a faceless king is not something that ordinary ghost hunters can do.
However, Lu Yunjie was not only able to destroy the Faceless King but also to be unscathed, which surprised the eighth master.
"Eighth master, the Lin family already knows that Lin Fei is dead." Lu Yunjie sipped his wine.
"Well, I'll find someone to inform you that day." The eighth master replied while wiping the bar with a rag.
"What's wrong with them?"
The eighth master sighed and said, "What movement can there be, doing their job itself is to fight for money, and no one knows if they can see the sun the next day." What's more, Lin Fei's status in the Lin family is not high, and if he dies, he can't cause any big winds and waves. It's you, what kind of means did you use to kill the faceless king? ”
Lu Yunjie pretended to smile mysteriously, and coaxed: "My methods are invisible to ordinary people." ”
"Hmph, blow you, you are a descendant of the Lu family, and even fools can guess that you must have used some forbidden art. Don't blame me for telling you, it's very powerful to know how to use forbidden arts, but forbidden techniques are often anti-heaven techniques, and if you use too much, you will only damage yourself, so pay attention to yourself. ”
"Cut, of course I do. You still need to say it. Lu Yunjie didn't care, and drank the leftover wine in the cup at random.
"You kid, if it weren't for your father's message before he left asking me to take care of you, I wouldn't have bothered to remind you." After wiping the bar, the eighth master threw the rag behind him, hung it on a hook of the wine rack, and then picked up the wine bottle and filled it for Lu Yunjie.
As soon as he mentioned his father, Lu Yunjie couldn't help but ask: "Eighth Master, you have such a good relationship with my father, he really didn't tell you where he went?" ”
The eighth master sighed and said, "You have asked me this question no less than ten times, if I knew, I would have told you a long time ago." ”
"Hmph, who believes."
The identity of the eighth master has always made Lu Yunjie feel very mysterious, this dwarf, who is less than one meter two, not only has a great face in the ghost hunting circle, but also knows very well about the large and small ghost hunting families all over the country. In addition, he has a very special channel, and he can get almost everything that Oni Hunt needs.
Of course, Lu Yunjie would not ask these questions in person.
Just when he was chatting with the eighth master one sentence after another, Lu Yunjie's phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID is an unfamiliar number.
"Hello? Which one, please? ”
A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
"It's me, Li Xiaoxiao. Lu Yunjie, are you free, I invite you to coffee. ”
Li Xiaoxiao actually called me?
Lu Yunjie was a little surprised, so he asked, "Big beautiful police officer, do you have anything to do with me?" It's not interesting to drink coffee, so it's better to go to my house, my family is big, and it's convenient to communicate. ”
Hearing Lu Yunjie's usual squeamish tone, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. "See you on the second floor of Phoenix Plaza-Xingbake in half an hour. If you don't come, I'll find someone to seal your shop. ”
didn't want to say a word, Li Xiaoxiao hung up the phone directly.
Lu Yunjie grimaced at his phone, and then poured all the red wine in the wine glass into his stomach in one go.
"What, there's a date? It seems to be a girl's voice. The eighth master smiled.
"Ahh After leaving the eighth master, come back when you have time. After speaking, Lu Yunjie picked up the jacket hanging aside and left the pirate bar.
Looking at Lu Yunjie's departing figure, the eighth master shook his head thoughtfully.
The coffee shop Li Xiaoxiao said was near the Baye Bar, and Lu Yunjie quickly found a place. went up to the second floor, but Lu Yunjie found that Li Xiaoxiao was already drinking coffee by the window and enjoying the scenery outside.
"Hey, Officer Beauty, you're here. Can't wait to meet me? ”
Hearing Lu Yunjie's voice, Li Xiaoxiao's gaze immediately turned back, and he asked in surprise, "Why are you so fast." ”
"Oh, I happened to be at a nearby bar when you called me." As he spoke, Lu Yunjie sat down in the seat opposite Li Xiaoxiao.
Soon, a small and delicate cute girl came to Lu Yunjie with the menu.
"What kind of coffee do you order, sir?"
"Let's have a cup of mandarin ducks." Lu Yunjie said casually. Unexpectedly, the little girl suddenly smiled and said: "Ah, sir, you and this young lady really have a good heart, and she also ordered mandarin ducks, hehe." ”
"Uh, huh, huh?" Lu Yunjie's old face suddenly turned red, touched his head, and turned his gaze to Li Xiaoxiao, and found that Li Xiaoxiao's face also had a hint of blush.
Fortunately, the little girl walked away immediately, so as not to make the atmosphere of the scene even more awkward.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter with me." In order to alleviate this delicate atmosphere, Lu Yunjie spoke first.
Li Xiaoxiao picked up the coffee and took a sip and said, "Tell me your story." ”
"My story? What do you mean? Lu Yunjie was puzzled.
"I've checked your information, your parents have been missing for 6 years and have not been heard from since. Your wife died in a car accident not long after giving birth to her child. Now your child seems to be in foster care with your cousin. ”
Lu Yunjie nodded and said, "Yes, what you said is right. ”
"Is it because of who you are?"
Lu Yunjie frowned, he didn't understand why Li Xiaoxiao was so interested in his private affairs.
"I'm sorry, it's been a long time, and I don't know very well. However, it is true that my daughter was placed in my cousin's house because of this problem. ”
When Li Xiaoxiao mentioned Lu Yunjie's past, Lu Yunjie couldn't help but think of the scene 10 years ago. He had just entered the second year of high school that year, and one day his father suddenly rushed to school in a hurry, and inexplicably handled the withdrawal manual for Lu Yunjie. And since that day, Lu Yunjie's life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Regarding ghosts, Lu Yunjie also began to understand about ghosts at that time.
Under the persecution of his father, he had to bite the bullet and learn all kinds of knowledge about exorcism. At first, he thought his father was crazy, but his mother kept urging him just like his father.
As Lu Yunjie grew up in that area, his father gradually let him get in touch with the supernatural events that happened in reality, which made Lu Yunjie realize that the things that his parents gave him were real.
"So haven't you heard from your parents yet? Why don't you go to them? Li Xiaoxiao asked again.
Lu Yunjie shook his head, looked out the window, and from his direction, he could see the middle of Phoenix Square, which was a children's paradise, and all kinds of interesting entertainment equipment became a paradise for children, full of laughter and laughter. Once upon a time, he was as carefree as those children, growing up surrounded by the love of his parents, without the troubles of life, without sneaky interruptions......
All this ...... There's no going back.
