Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vanishing Chest
This phone number is the same as the last time I called back.
If it was just one call, it might have been a scam call or a messy call from an agent, but nine missed calls in a row was a bit weird, so I had someone get me some paper, wipe the mist off the phone, and call back.
This time, the phone number was not turned off, but after a few "beep, beep, beep" sounds, it was connected.
"Hey"
There was a sleepy voice on the other end of the phone, it was a female voice, it shouldn't be too old, I was stunned for a moment, and said hello, who are you looking for?
The woman was also a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Who are you?" ”
I couldn't help but laugh and say that you called me so many missed calls, and you didn't know who I was, isn't it funny? Miss, what the hell are you looking for me? Don't say I'm hanging
The other end of the phone hurriedly said: "Don't, don't hang up, I don't know who you are, but the owner of this phone told me that if he didn't come back to me for three days, let me call you and let you come over, it's been four days now, your phone has not been able to get through, and I don't know what to do"
Yes?
I said, who told you to call me?
The woman said: "That person told me that he was called the landlord, the kind of landlord in the online forum, and I don't know the specifics."
Belch?
Landlord, this name is really a little strange, but I listen, why is it so familiar?
Landlord, landlord, huh? Wait, is it Lu Zuo?
I came back to my senses and hurriedly asked, "Beauty, what does that person look like, can you tell me about it?" ”
The other end of the phone thought for a while, and said that he was very handsome, tall, sunny, very temperamental, and gave people a very cordial feeling, just like the big brother next door
I heard the trend of the other party's speech, a little nymphomaniac, and hurriedly stopped her, saying that the point, is there a scar on his face?
Scar?
The woman hurriedly made sure, yes, yes, but others have scars, just like the gangsters of the underworld, but he is different, he feels very safe, I asked him if he was a soldier, and he said no
I asked if there was a very good-looking and cute little girl next to him?
The woman said no, when I met him, he was the only one, I didn't see any little girl, was he married? Do you have a baby? What the hell does he do?
A series of questions bombarded me with a little headache, so I hurriedly said to her, "Hello, what the hell is going on, can you tell me a brief?" ”
The woman said that you are a very problematic person, but who are you first?
I said that my name was Lu Yan and that I was his cousin.
The woman confirmed my identity, and then said: "I also met him in Pingshui, that day we went to the countryside to collect wind, met on the way, he chatted with me for a while, and then asked me to do a favor, saying that he was going to go to a place to explore, but he was a little unsure, so he gave me the phone, and asked me to call you after three days, without calling, and tell you about the situation, and there is a small box, let me pass it to you." ”
I said, how could he be looking for you?
The woman said I didn't know, so I asked him if he wanted to call the police or something, and he said no, let me tell you about it then.
The woman's words were vague and not very clear, but I guess she didn't know much, and more importantly, it was probably in the small box that Lu Zuotuo handed over to her.
As for why Lu Zuo knew my phone number and asked her to call me, I was a little confused.
Think about it carefully, when Lu Zuo left Maoshan, he did go to Jinxi.
And I heard that it was very true, and it didn't look like someone had set up such a game to calculate me, so after asking the other party's identity and where he was at the moment, I told her that I would come over as soon as possible.
I hung up the phone, and everyone looked at me.
Because the space in the car was small, and everyone was a cultivator, the content of the call could not be hidden, and the old ghost said to me worriedly: "What happened to Lu Zuo?" ”
I shook my head, I couldn't tell, I had to look at it to know the result.
After that, I said to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Kyoto and help with the rest of the matter."
The old ghost waved his hand and said that you have helped enough, and now all the people involved in the Hong family, except for Hong Tianxiu, are all planted in our hands, and the incident of the drug case has also won us more sympathy and occupied the moral high ground, Qinghui Alliance here, except for Yang Kang who was not caught, the rest of the people have just explained, the next thing is a long-term tug-of-war, it is okay for you to stay here, but it is Lu Zuo's side, if there is anything, you have to tell us, no matter what it is, there is a response.
I said okay, I'll go check on the situation first, and we'll get in touch when I get back.
Originally, we were going to make a big splash in Kyoto this time, but a sudden phone call interrupted me from staying here.
What makes people laugh even more is that before this, because I was in a desperate situation, I had to use the means of using the ground to escape, so that all the original plans were disrupted, but fortunately, under the mistake, I did not let those people go.
The follow-up matters, the old ghost is dealing with it here, and Xu Danding, Zamao Xiaodao and others are also here to help, but I don't need to worry too much.
The old ghost didn't stay, and asked his assistant Wu Gefei to help me book the earliest plane to Jinxi the next day.
Of course, before leaving, I had to call Xu Danding and Zamao Xiaodao.
Xu calmly didn't have anything over there, but Zamao Xiaodao was a little surprised, and said Why is he looking for you and not me, although I don't take the phone, but the people around me have always turned on the phone?
Where do I know this, I can only pretend to be stupid, and the miscellaneous hair Xiaodao said that he would go to Jinxi with me.
I stopped him and said that I don't know what happened now, you have a lot of things to be busy here in Kyoto, Huang Fatzi and Ciyuan Bian you also have to rescue, in addition, your senior brother's affairs, as well as the next direction of Maoshan Sect, are enough for you to worry about, I will be a pawn for you, first go to explore the road for you, what is really going on, when the time comes, I will tell you as soon as possible, how about it?
Miscellaneous Xiaodao refused, and the person next to him persuaded him for a while, and then he gave up, but he still asked me not to turn off my mobile phone and call him at any time.
After a phone call, the old ghost stretched out his hand to stop me, saying that you should hurry up and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow, and we will deal with the rest of the matter.
I felt very tired, and I didn't give up anymore and said okay.
With the blessing of Chen's fetal breath, I slept darkly, and when I woke up halfway, I realized that I arrived at the airport, passed the inspection in a daze, and slept on the plane again, until I got off the plane, Qu Fatsan woke me up, and I recovered my spirits.
When I woke up, I was full of energy, and I found that I had arrived at Changzhi Wangcun Airport.
After getting off the plane and coming to the airport, I picked up the phone and dialed the girl named Zhang Lin.
She was a student at Changzhi Medical College, and when she received my call, she happened to be in class, and after learning that I had arrived in Changzhi, she lowered her voice and told me where we met, saying that I should go to their school and let me call her.
There were three of us, me, Qu Fatsan, and the little dragon girl who dragged the oil bottle, called a taxi and rushed to the school.
Rushed to Changzhi Medical College, I called Zhang Lin again, and not long after, a girl in a pale yellow down jacket ran out, looked left and right, and finally walked towards me.
She came to me and said, "You are Lu Yan, right?" ”
When I went out, it was better to be careful, I looked left and right, and finally fell on her, smiled slightly, and then stretched out my hand and said Hello, I am Lu Yan.
The girl shook hands with me and looked curiously at the people around me.
Her hand was a little cold, I let go of my hand and introduced her, saying that this is my cousin Xiaoqu, this is a friend of mine, you can call her Xiaolong.
Probably because Qu Fatsan and Xiaolongnu are more flattering, not like bad people, and I do look similar to Lu Zuo, the girl doesn't have too many doubts, but she blames me a little, saying what's going on with your mobile phone, it's been turning off all the time, so I have no power, and I borrowed a charger from someone to keep it on
I was with her, and then asked about Lu Zuo, and after chatting, I realized that as I expected, she didn't know much, and she didn't know why Lu Zuo asked her for help.
However, Lu Zuo obviously didn't find the wrong person, the girl was quite responsible, and finally found me.
Zhang Lin took us into the school, and then walked to their dormitory building, on the way, she cautiously asked me about Lu Zuo, there was a kind of shyness and interest that was deliberately hidden, and could not be hidden.
I can feel that my cousin's charm is really great, and when I met, I was so confused that the little girl was confused.
No wonder she would be happy to do this, it turned out that she had a good impression of Lu Zuo and looked forward to meeting again.
Came to the downstairs of Zhang Lin's dormitory building, she asked us to stay here, she went up to pick up the box, and we waited patiently, but after a while, no one came down, I was a little surprised, I had the heart to go up to find someone, and I felt abrupt, so I asked Xiaolongnu to find it according to the dormitory room number she said.
As a result, after a while, the little dragon girl came down and said with a strange face: "She can't find the box, she is rummaging all over the dormitory, the little girl is very sad, she is crying, and she is in a hurry."
What, the box is missing?
