Chapter 48: The Plague of Rats (14)

The location we agreed with Editor Xu was the only café in the town, which is actually similar to KFC in the city, where people passing by usually come in to sit and rest or chat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The route we took actually led directly to the back of the café, so we had to go around the café in a half circle before we could enter the café.

As I walked to the side of the café, I saw through the glass wall of the café a woman in her thirties, looking to be in her thirties, drinking coffee by herself and looking at a newspaper in her hand.

At first, my intuition told me that this person was Editor Xu, but when I saw the newspaper in her hand, I dispelled this speculation in my heart, because I thought that if she was Editor Xu, she would not read a newspaper so carefully, after all, the newspaper was published by them, and she should know the general content.

In order to be able to confirm this matter, I grabbed Liu Xiaowei, who was almost about to turn and push the door open, took out my mobile phone from my pocket and called Editor Xu.

The moment the call was dialed, I saw that the woman in the corner also seemed to suddenly feel something, and then put her hand in her pocket, and two seconds later, she took her hand out of her pocket, and at the same time held a mobile phone in her hand.

When she put her phone to her ear, my side was connected.

"Hey, is it Editor Xu?" I asked as I stared at the woman inside.

"Yes, it's me, I've arrived, when will you arrive?" The woman inside turned over the arm of her other hand at this time and looked at the watch on her wrist.

"We'll be there soon, you wait a minute." After saying that, I hung up the phone, and through the phone call just now, I can already confirm that the woman sitting inside is Editor Xu. If there is such a coincidence in the world that she can pick up the phone at the same time after I call, then there must not be such a coincidence that what is said on the phone and her mouth shape can match, although her mouth shape and voice are not completely synchronized, but there is a certain time delay in the phone.

Pushing open the door, Liu Xiaowei and I walked in, and then naturally sat opposite the woman, who was Editor Xu.

Obviously, Editor Xu didn't expect us to come so soon, and to be able to recognize her directly, so he asked in a mysterious way, "...... are you?" ”

I smiled at her: "Li Fanda, the person who made an appointment with you came to the appointment with the news you wanted." As I spoke, I shook the phone in my hand at Editor Xu.

"I'm suddenly more interested in you as a person, as if all my actions and decisions were expected by you." Editor Xu also smiled, although she didn't reach over to take my phone in a hurry, but in fact, all her actions have already shown that she is interested in what I said.

First of all, being able to take time out of her busy schedule to meet us shows that she wants to know the news, and then she actually arrived before us, you must know that we did not delay too long after the location was set, and the time should have been able to arrive earlier than her, but it was still a step later than her, which shows her eagerness for the news, and finally when I took out my phone just now, although she did not reach out, but I clearly saw her fingers moving very quickly at that moment, After that, there was no such behavior.

All of this is enough to show that what I said on the phone has moved Editor Xu, and at the same time, maybe it is the matter itself, or maybe it is one of my words, which has completely mobilized Editor Xu's enthusiasm for this matter.

When our leverage is invisibly magnified, then negotiations are more beneficial to us.

"Let's not beat around the bush, let's just say it, my news doesn't mean anything to me, but you have what we want in your hands." I was paying attention to Editor Xu's expression as I said every word, and I wanted to know what my next move would be.

"You ...... Not asking for money? Editor Xu was stunned, obviously not expecting me to say this.

"Money? Maybe you don't know me, but I can also say unceremoniously that there aren't many richer people in this town than me, so what we want is an equivalent exchange, and we give you news, and what we want is also the news from your mouth. I continued to explain.

Editor Xu's expression was a little dazed, and it seemed that no one would ever want the information in their hands.

"Say it, I'll listen." I didn't know how to reply to me, so Editor Xu took a sip of his coffee lightly, and then pretended to be calm.

"Okay, I'm not going to sell it anymore, we want to know some news about that rat news." I can see that Editor Xu is curious about the information in my mouth, and I can also see that she really wants to get this information, the only thing that is uncertain now is the report about the mouse, whether she still has a lot of hope to develop something useful, if she still treats that thing as a treasure, then the difficulty of negotiation will increase.

"I can accept this condition, so can I understand the information you said first?" Editor Xu's eyes flashed with a subtle light, and at the same time, her eyes revealed a sense of relief, I am happy, it seems that that this matter has no use value for her, so it is easy to exchange information with her.

"Yes." After I finished laughing, I opened the photo album on my phone, found the photo of the corpse taken at lunchtime, and then handed the phone to Editor Xu.

"What is this?" Editor Xu was a little confused.

So I went along with Editor Xu about what happened at noon today, and in the process, I didn't have a second to take my eyes off her face, and I wanted to know how valuable this matter was to her.

Living up to my hopes, Editor Xu listened to the process with a change of expression, and after I finished speaking thoroughly, Editor Xu tried to suppress his voice and asked me if this was true.

After getting my affirmation, a slight smile finally appeared on Editor Xu's face, but then it was replaced by a solemn cloud of melancholy. She took a sip of her coffee and fell silent......
