Chapter 10: The Night Owl Laughs
Lin Cao pretended not to know Mu Fei and Lin Xiaomeng, looked at Lin Xiaomeng with a sincere face and said, "I heard Ziyuan talk about you, and I originally thought that if you refused to come over today, I would go to your house with Ziyuan tomorrow to see you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lin Ziyuan came over and held Lin Xiaomeng's hand, and said softly, "Zi...... Xiaomeng, are you okay? We are all sad about my sister's affairs, but I believe that my sister Jiren has her own natural appearance and will not disappear for no reason. I've been worried about you for half a year, and I'm afraid that you'll think about something if you stay at home alone......"
As she spoke, Lin Xiaomeng's young aunt couldn't help but burst into tears, Lin Cao immediately stepped forward and held her hand, and comforted softly: "Ziyuan, the child looks at it, be stronger, be good." ”
Lin Xiaomeng and Mu Fei were dumbfounded.
The old man also sighed at this moment and said, "Banxia, hey...... I said hello to the police and will let us know as soon as there is news, but now we have to wait. ”
Lin Xiaomeng didn't want to look at Lin Cao's fake appearance, so she changed the topic and said, "Grandpa, why did you call everyone back today?" Did something happen? ”
The old man looked at everyone in the room meaningfully.
Lin Cao immediately understood and said to Lin Ziyuan: "Ziyuan, you are not well, let's go back to the room to rest first?" ”
Lin Ziyuan nodded, and was helped out of the hut by Lin Cao.
When he passed by Mu Fei's side, Lin Cao quietly glanced at him.
Mu Fei also said: "That, classmate Lin, where is your toilet?" ”
Lin Xiaomeng said: "Turn right when you go out." ”
Mu Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you under the big banyan tree outside." ”
Mu Fei walked out of the door, Lin Cao was waiting for him by the door with Lin Ziyuan in his arms, and when he saw him come out, Lin Ziyuan said softly: "Classmate Mu Fei is the first time to come to our house, right?" Our family is a bit big, and I'm worried that you'll get lost in a while, so I want Lin Cao to accompany you, okay? ”
What a gentle man.
Mu Fei sighed in his heart and said, "Thank you." ”
Lin Cao immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, I just drank too much tea and have to go to the toilet, let's go, classmate Mu Fei." Shion, you go back to the room first, I know the way, I'll come back to you later. ”
Lin Ziyuan nodded with a smile, turned around and disappeared behind the rockery.
Mu Fei followed Lin Cao to the right path, lowered his head and didn't talk along the way, and when he got to the toilet, Mu Fei immediately raised his head and asked, "Dacao, what's the matter with you?" Didn't you say there was something important to do? Why did she suddenly become Lin Xiaomeng's boyfriend of her aunt? ”
Lin Cao smiled cheaply: "Isn't it a serious matter to break into the enemy's army to find out the news?" Don't say it, Lin Ziyuan, this girl is really easy to deceive, I will make her obedient with a little trick. I knew that there was such a simple way to make a fortune, what kind of detective agency did we open, tired and tired, and I couldn't make a few children, it was better to be a little white face, what a loss. ”
"Big grass!" Mu Fei frowned and interrupted him, "Don't make too much trouble!" Her aunt seems to be a very good person, don't make a fuss and can't end it! ”
"Just kidding, I'm measured." Lin Cao smacked his lips and said, "Let's get down to business, I've inquired in the past few days, and now the chairman of Wanlin Group is still Lin Banxia in name, but in fact, Lin Wanxiang is in charge." ”
Mu Fei said: "Wait a minute, first tell me how you hooked up with Aunt Lin?" ”
"Hey, hey." Lin Cao smiled evilly, "Lin Ziyuan just graduated from college, and now works in the finance department of Wanlin Group, I want to inquire about the news, so I asked the fox to find someone to pretend to be a gangster, and then I came out at the right time to save the beauty...... Do you understand? ”
Mu Fei asked incredulously, "It's that simple?" ”
"It's not easy to say, the fox sent two little guys who had just been refined into human form, and helped me fake the identity of a university lecturer, otherwise there would be no way to get close to Miss Lin Ziyuan."
"This dead vixen loves to play all these tricks!" Mu Fei was speechless for a long time, and said, "Why do you choose Lin Ziyuan?" Isn't it so deceitful? ”
"Cut." Lin Cao shook his head disdainfully, "It's just a college graduate who is easy to deceive, and those people in the other Lin family will definitely not believe me." Don't look at me like that, as long as the result is good, the process doesn't matter, does it? I'm also thinking about our client, not to mention, I did find some interesting things. ”
"Oh?" As soon as he heard the news, Mu Fei immediately came to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Cao lit a cigarette and said, "I said just now, Wanlin Group is now Lin Wanxiang is the right one, right?" However, the group's shares are being quietly transferred by several sons of the Lin family. Weird, right? Obviously, Lin Wanxiang controlled the entire group, and he should have known about it, but he didn't take action or even allowed it by default. ”
Mu Fei thought for a moment and said, "So we suspect the wrong object?" Lin Wanxiang didn't covet the Lin family's property? ”
Lin Cao said: "Wrong! This only shows that Lin Wanxiang doesn't care about the Lin family's property at all. ”
Mu Fei didn't understand, and wondered: "Is there a difference?" ”
Lin Cao smiled mysteriously and said: "There are dozens of subsidiaries under Wanlin Group, among which there is a very inconspicuous real estate company, which is chaired by Lin Banxia. This real estate company is very interesting, except for the encirclement of a piece of land at the foot of Xiaoqiu Mountain, there is no other business, and Lin Banxia and Lin Wanxiang will go to live in the houses around that land for a few days every once in a while, why do you say this? ”
Mu Fei was confused and asked, "What do you mean?" Stop talking about riddles, I don't understand. ”
"You're stupid." Lin Cao spread his hands helplessly, "Where is Lin Xiaomeng's house?" ”
An electric light flashed in Mu Fei's mind: "The villa area at the foot of Xiaoqiu Mountain...... Wait, you mean? ”
"That piece of land is at the foot of Xiaoqiu Mountain, less than a mile away from Lin Xiaomeng's villa, although it has not been developed, it is still a wasteland, but no one will disturb it."
"That's right." Lin Cao spit out a smoke ring, "Lin Banxia drove missing, but the cameras in the city didn't capture it; She was in Lin Xiaomeng's villa before she disappeared, so there is only one possibility - she didn't leave there at all, or maybe - she is still near that villa area. ”
Mu Fei was aware of it in his heart, but he still had a question that he hadn't figured out: "No, according to what you say, the police should be able to find out the abnormality of this land, and they will definitely send someone to check it......"
"Have you forgotten what the other person was doing? The technique of the ghost path is the most bizarre, and a random ecstasy array can stop mortals from approaching; And ......" Lin Cao paused, and said leisurely: "The little monk appeared on the top of the mountain that night, do you think it was an accident?" ”
Mu Feiqi said: "Master of Extermination? He also has something to do with it? ”
Lin Cao smiled mysteriously: "The purpose of the little monk, according to him and me, is to track down a thousand-year-old soul who escaped from the seal of their temple...... But it had nothing to do with us, he came to the top of the mountain that night because he sensed the horror of the earth! The people of Buddhism are the most sensitive to the power of the evil paths, such as the ghost path, the demon path, and the demon path, and he sensed that something was wrong as soon as he arrived in Akiyama City, so he came to the mountains to check. ”
"I'm grass." Mu Fei scolded, "Isn't that also close to our house?" You're too frustrated, you're still a Taoist, and you don't even know that the ghost people have set up a home in the nest. ”
Lin Cao grinned: "I am cultivating the Heavenly Dao, and the method of the Heavenly Dao pays attention to the excess and makes up for the deficiency, and I can use the power of the other five realms for my own use, but the perception of the three evil paths is not as good as that of the people of the Buddha Dao, this is normal!" ”
Mu Fei nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense!" So what are we doing here? Hurry up, go back and check that field! ”
Lin Cao shrugged helplessly: "If it can be found so easily, how can I use the betrayal to blend into the Lin family?" The little monk has been in Lin Xiaomeng's house for a day, but he has never been able to find the entrance to the source of the ghost qi. ”
Hearing Lin Cao say this, Mu Fei finally knew that he and the extinction had secretly investigated so much information, and couldn't help but be angry: "Okay, you big grass, and you hide so many things from me!" ”
"Hey, hey." Lin Cao smiled, "You guy who is treated like a sweet cake by the ghost road, if you know the truth, wouldn't it be bad?" ”
Mu Fei said dissatisfiedly: "Come on, then you tell me now that you are not afraid of startling the grass and snakes?" ”
"That's right, the purpose of our coming to see Lin Wanxiang tonight is to scare the snake!"
Mu Fei's eyes lit up and he understood the meaning of Lin Cao.
Hit the grass and scare the snake to lead the snake out of the hole.
Lin Cao finished smoking, threw the cigarette butt into the toilet, and said, "I'll go to Lin Ziyuan first." Try not to leave me at night, and we'll get to know this cunning snake for a while. ”
At the thought of possibly confronting a ghost path person head-on, Mu Fei couldn't help but clench the evil bone skull rosary on his wrist and nodded heavily.
……
Mu Fei waited under the big banyan tree for a long time, until the sunset on the horizon completely fell and night came, and he saw Lin Xiaomeng helping the old man out of the hut.
The old man saw Mu Fei under the big banyan tree, and said to Lin Xiaomeng beside him: "You accompany your classmates, remember to come to the old house for dinner later." ”
After speaking, the old man left with grace.
Seeing that the old man was gone, Mu Fei walked to Lin Xiaomeng's side, found that Lin Xiaomeng was unhappy, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Xiaomeng couldn't hide the tiredness on her face, and said, "I was scolded by my grandfather, it's just a little annoying." ”
Mu Fei was curious: "Why are you scolded?" ”
Squinting at Mu Fei, Lin Xiaomeng held her head and sighed: "Can you use your brain, just think about it, I have been at home for almost a year, of course because of this scolding me!" Say I'm not sensible, my mother is missing and I have to bear the burden of the family! Yuan Wanxiang is not a member of the Lin family after all, although he changed his surname to Lin, but he still has to take precautions when his mother is gone! In the evening, the family gathering will also announce in public that several of them will hold important positions in the group, which will empty Lin Wanxiang's power! Stuff like that. ”
She said a lot like a lot, and finally lowered her head helplessly, and whispered: "I didn't mention anything about whether my mother is still alive, I really doubt that my mother is biological." ”
Seeing the sad expression on her last face, Mu Fei had to comfort her: "After all, your family has a big business, and the old man is naturally the first to worry about the things that the family business can't be left behind, so don't care too much." ”
"Hehe, I don't care." Lin Xiaomeng sneered, "If it weren't for my mother, I would have ruined our family with my uncle's people?" ”
After speaking, she shook her head and said to Mu Fei: "What's the matter with Lin Cao?" How did you end up with my aunt? ”
"This ......" Mu Fei hesitated for a while, thought for a while and told her the truth.
"This little white face!" Lin Xiaomeng gritted her teeth for a while, "My aunt is a pure white lotus, it's so easy to deceive!" ”
After speaking, she squeezed her fist hatefully: "After this matter is over, we must think of a way to make Lin Cao completely disappear from my aunt's side without making my aunt sad, hum." ”
Mu Fei heard a hint of unkindness in her tone, and hurriedly said, "Dacao is also for work...... He's measured......"
Though he did not believe it himself.
The two talked in the courtyard for a while, but they didn't care that the cicadas on the big banyan tree were getting quieter.
The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that Mu Fei could even hear Lin Xiaomeng's breathing.
A trace of alarm emanated from the evil bone skeleton rosary on his wrist, Mu Fei's heart moved, and he grabbed Lin Xiaomeng, who was still thinking in pieces, and said vigilantly: "The situation is not right, don't speak." ”
Lin Xiaomeng, who was venting her emotions, was startled by Mu Fei's sudden move, and when she saw his serious expression, she nodded and hid beside Mu Fei, she also found that the surrounding environment was a little too quiet.
Suddenly, in the dark courtyard where the cicadas were silent, the two heard bursts of sharp laughter.
"Goo, goo, goo......"
Lin Xiaomeng shuddered and asked in a low voice, "What is this thing laughing?" It's crazy, isn't it? ”
"Like a night owl?" Mu Fei said uncertainly, "Listening to this cooing sound, it should be a night owl laughing...... Have you ever heard a saying that says, 'If you are not afraid of a night owl barking, you are afraid of a night owl laughing'? ”
"Night owls? Owls? Lin Xiaomeng thought for a while before she understood what the night owl in Mu Fei's mouth was referring to, and said strangely: "Can owls laugh?" ”
Mu Fei nodded and said: "I heard Dacao say that the night owl's smile means that it is counting your eyebrows, and when it counts clearly, you will die." ”
Lin Xiaomeng was taken aback: "This is a kid, don't scare me, then what should we do?" ”
Mu Fei said: "It is said that the eyebrows are wet and pasted together with saliva, so that the night owls can't count clearly." ”
The two of them were about to cover their eyebrows with saliva in this way, when a flash of fire suddenly fell into the courtyard from outside the courtyard, and rose into a large ball of fire in the courtyard in the wind, rushing straight towards the big banyan tree.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, the sound of birds flapping its wings sounded on the big banyan tree, and a night owl whose whole body was burned by the flames fluttered its wings and flew up on the canopy of the banyan tree, let out a few mournful screams, and then disappeared into the night.
Seeing that firelight, Mu Fei's heart was relieved, and he turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Cao was leaning against the door in a chic manner, and smiled at the two of them: "It's useless to use saliva to paste your eyebrows to deal with the ghost path technique." ”
Mu Fei and Lin Xiaomeng hurriedly ran to Lin Cao's side, and said in shock: "Dacao, what's the matter?" ”
Lin Cao looked at the night sky where the night owl disappeared, and said, "The other party gave us a dismount, it seems that the main master has arrived." ”
Lin Xiaomeng's expression changed and pursed her lips.
"Tonight, please, two of you."
Looking at Lin Xiaomeng with a serious face, Mu Fei and Lin Cao looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Cao turned around in a dashing manner, and said in his mouth: "Why don't you go quickly?" When do you want to kiss me in the yard? Let's go to dinner! ”
Mu Fei looked at Lin Xiaomeng, whose face was a little pale, and said firmly: "Since you have found our Kowloon Detective Agency, then the commission will definitely be achieved." ”
