Chapter 012: Abandoned Baby 2
The next day was the weekend, and he promised to come to the Phoenix detective agency as usual early in the morning. Before she could enter www.biquge.info the door, she heard a familiar conversation coming from inside, which made her hand go to push the door paused.
(The name of Phoenix Detective Agency is too long, and it will be called PDA in the future, which means the initials of Phoenix.Detective.Agency)
"What are you going to do for breakfast?" This is the languid male voice.
"Omelette or burrito, which do you want to eat?" This is the independent female voice.
"Burrito."
"Okay, you go buy a bag of noodles, a serving of ham, a few shallots and coriander, and ketchup. By the way, you go to the dry cleaner when you go out and take your clothes back. ”
"......" the male voice was dumbfounded, "I eat fried eggs." ”
This kind of conversation, this kind of tone, can only belong to two people, although they are not familiar with each other, but promise to be sure of this. Pushing open the door, sure enough, it was Brother Hao and Coco, who were not surprised to see the two of them, and Coco also asked her to eat very warmly: "It's so early, have you eaten?" It just so happens that I'm doing it, do you want to eat something? ”
"Don't order burritos." Brother Hao kindly hinted on the side.
“……”
Although Coco and Brother Hao always communicate with each other in language, these two people are still quite an enviable pair. It's not about appearance, but how well they get along, and the two are constantly fresh together.
After a while, Ah Fei came out of the bathroom, and he glanced at Xu Promise while wiping his head with a towel: "It's here." This is Brother Hao and Coco, remember? Then he said to the two people, "This is a promise, to receive at this part-time reception." ”
"I remember this girl." Brother Hao put on a habitual unfriendly smile, "What do you think of my Xiaofei?" ”
He didn't know how to answer, and he couldn't say badly, because three of the four people belonged to his power; It can't be said to be good, so that everyone knows what direction he will associate it. Fortunately, Ah Fei helped him out of the siege, and Ah Fei, who was pacing over, came behind Brother Hao and said in a surprised tone: "When did you have the habit of reading the newspaper?" ”
"There is an obituary in this newspaper." Brother Hao was really changed the topic, "You see, at 17:25 yesterday, a literary artist in Longcheng City was hit by a meteorite and died, which only happens once in 7,000 years on average. ”
Promise shame, is this really an obituary? How does it sound more like a joke?
"And this." Brother Hao made persistent efforts, "On the 21st, an economist in the United States and a post-financial tsunami industrialist chose to commit suicide. You say that this group of people did not forget to entertain the public when they died. ”
"Yes, but someone is bound to spend their lives carrying out this ideal." Ah Fei sneered silently and sat aside.
It just so happened that Coco came out with the first fried egg at this time, and put it directly in front of Ah Fei without thinking about it. This move naturally aroused Brother Hao's dissatisfaction. He pointed to the fried egg in front of Afei and asked Coco, "Shall I wait here first?" There has to be a first-come-first-served one, why give the first one to this kid? ”
"Because I love him." Coco is right.
Brother Hao's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the newspaper in his hand again, gesturing with his hand as if it were a newspaper headline: "Tomorrow you will see me on this, a local man starved to death while waiting for fried eggs." ”
Coco was unimpressed by this, also gesturing with a newspaper headline: "Coco, a 23-year-old local girl, celebrates in the street." ”
“……”
In the end, it was Coco who was superior in skills, leaving Brother Hao speechless. promised to laugh, but seeing that Ah Fei was indifferent and embarrassed to laugh. Carrying the stool in the direction of Afei, he promised to ask in a low voice, "They usually do this...... Joyous? ”
"That's an apt description, joyful." Ah Fei smiled and chewed on the promised description, "Yes, they usually do this." ”
"It feels a little ......"
Promise to find the right adjectives again, and this time Afie also helps her think about it. After a while, the two of them found their favorite words at the same time, but they spoke in unison:
"Envy." This is the description of promise.
"Form two." That's how Afie describes it.
After finishing speaking, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other and stopped talking, as if they understood the difference in the channel they were in.
――
After this episode, Brother Hao left with Coco, and mysteriously brought something like a scroll. Seeing them put the scroll in their backpacks, Xu asked Fei curiously, "What is that?" ”
"Nine Palace Diagrams." Ah Fei didn't mean to hide it, his eyes were thoughtful, "A nine-palace diagram that may have a great origin." ”
"Got a great background?" Promise is more curious.
"Well, there is a great origin, and there may be some shocking secrets hidden in it." Ah Fei still didn't skimp on his words, "Brother Hao has a lot of eyes, rich experience and a lot of research on antiques, and he bought that Nine Palaces Diagram." It's a pity it's fake. ”
Xu was speechless, what kind of person is this, I just praised people for their poisonous eyes and research, and turned his head and said that it was a pity to find a fake antique.
"But although it's fake, the information on it shouldn't be fake." Ah Fei continued, "Before, they went to the person who sold them the fake picture, and wanted to know more about this Nine Palaces map. But yesterday I called and said that the man's house had accidentally caught fire, and even the person and the whole house were burned. ”
"Ahh Xu Promise exclaimed, "Because of the Nine Palaces?!" ”
"Yes, because of the Nine Palaces." Ah Fei put on a serious face, "The Nine Palaces Diagram didn't want to be bought by others, so he took revenge on the original owner and burned the master's house with a fire." ”
“……”
Promise to beat people, next time I ask an idiot question, you don't hear it? Do I have to repeat it to prove how idiotic I am? can think of whether Ah Fei eats soft or hard, and he has a very spineless desire to know about this matter, even if he promises to hate itchy, he has to soften his tone: "What's the reason for that." ”
"If you rule out accidents, there's only one possibility." Although it was speculation, Ah Fei's tone was very determined, "In addition to us, there is another force chasing this Nine Palace Diagram. Most of the people who sold fake pictures to Brother Hao were from that force, and for some reason he wanted this picture to be obtained by others. As a result, his companions found out about his behavior and punished him. ”
"It's exciting to listen to that, but ......," Xu Promise frowned, "it's too novelistic, isn't it?" ”
"It's a bit fanciful, so I thought of a way to prove the truth of this thing, and they went to verify it this time."
"What's the solution?" Promise further curiosity.
"Hide the Nine Palaces and see if anyone will steal it."
Promise to be speechless again, this is also a way?
"What...... Meaning? After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Promise couldn't keep up with Ah Fei's rhythm, so he had to ask shamelessly again.
"Don't you understand that?" Ah Fei looked surprised.
If it weren't for curiosity, Promise would have killed this guy who showed superiority: "I'm sorry, I'm too stupid." ”
Fortunately, Ah Fei didn't continue to show, otherwise Xu Zhen didn't know if he would be able to restrain the surging murderous intent. After sorting out his thoughts, Afei explained to Xu Promise step by step:
"First of all, let's say that the force in China is very strong, so strong that killing anyone will not cause a wave. This force does not hesitate to kill people for the sake of this Nine Palace Diagram, which means that the Nine Palace Diagram is very important to them. Therefore, they will further investigate the people who bought the Jiugong Diagram, that is, Brother Hao and Coco, and it is not impossible to spy on them now. If Brother Hao hadn't discovered the secret of the Nine Palaces Diagram, it would be okay to say; It's hard to imagine what they would have done if they had found out. ”
"This time, Brother Hao and Coco went to the bank to save the Nine Palaces. If that strength is as great as they imagined, then they will try their best to get this Nine Palace Diagram, otherwise they will destroy it. Three days later, the picture was still lying quietly in the bank's safe deposit box, which proved that I was worried, and the nine-palace chart was not so exaggerated. Otherwise, it's worth considering. ”
After listening to Afi's tirade, he promised to understand for the first time how painful it really is for patients with persecution paranoia.
Isn't it just a drawing that is a little old? Even if the seller is burned to death by a fire, can it really mean so many things? In the eyes of Xu Promise, no matter how loud Ah Fei's words were, when they reached her, they all became one word:
Pull.
It's not just, it's just.
Is it really possible? Let's not talk about Afei's bizarre imagination, just talk about this nine-palace diagram. Let's just count the secrets above, the shocking secrets, an unusually large force wants to obtain this secret, so they will do whatever it takes to kill people? Secondly, if this organization really existed, and it was as powerful as Afie said, they wouldn't have sent someone to snatch the blueprints away?
The promise was thought so and not spoken. If she said it, she would find that Afei could refute both of these points. First, through the photos taken by Brother Hao Coco, Ah Fei has determined that the fire was a murder case, and the possibility of excluding accidents mentioned above refers to the connection between the murder and the Nine Palaces; Second, if that organization blatantly jumps out to grab the map, it will be no less than three hundred taels of silver here, telling Brother Hao and Coco that there are secrets in this nine-palace map, and it is not small.
At this time, while promising to slander Ah Fei in his heart that Ah Fei is a dreamer, there is still some joy in his heart, and Ah Fei is willing to share the joy of the secret with her.
After thinking about it, Xu Yu had a playful smile on his face: "If this Nine Palace Diagram really has a particularly big secret, if you tell me, aren't you afraid that I will secretly keep this secret for myself?" Grab the treasure before you do? ”
"You won't."
Ah Fei's tone was the same, but this time he promised no disgust, not at all.
"Why?" Promise asked cheekily.
In fact, everyone wants to hear others praise themselves. Kind-hearted, friendly and innocent, will not take advantage of others' dangers, even if there is righteousness, just a word. After all, Afie hardly boasts; And the promise is really such a girl.
Ah Fei looked at her, and the expression on his face seemed a little embarrassed. So he wanted to listen to what would come out of his mouth so much that he would be embarrassed. After urging repeatedly, the promise was almost begging, and Afei finally spoke:
"You don't have the ability, you don't have the IQ."
“……”
――
You know, this guy must not be able to spit out ivory in his mouth!
Xu Promise hated to think, and he still fantasized that he could praise others, but I am afraid that the people of the whole world combined, only he can be praised by him. I can't even say a word of praise, stingy big devil!
At this time, the phone rang, and the PDA's landline. glanced at Ah Fei angrily, and promised to run over to answer the phone. On the other end of the phone was a familiar female voice:
"Phoenix Detective Agency? I'm Zhou Xiaowu, the one who went down to entrust the client yesterday, and the one who had nightmares in a row. After taking the pill, I didn't have a nightmare yesterday, I want to ask about the efficacy cycle of that pill, should I go again today to get some medicine? Or once and for all, there will be no more nightmares in the future? ”
When it came to such a professional question, she promised to ask for help from Ah Fei, but considering the previous unpleasantness, she reluctantly handed the phone in the direction of Ah Fei.
Ah Fei is not a cautious person, or he didn't suffer at all, so he took the phone with his usual expression: "That medicine has side effects, take one at most in 3 days, and your body can't bear it." If you want to eradicate it, you have to come step by step, and the medicine you were given because it was too late yesterday. Is it you coming over or are we coming? ”
Subsequently, Afei agreed and closed the phone and asked the promise: "Do you decide to stay here and be angry with me, or do you want to deal with the commission with me?" ”
After thinking about the gains and losses, I already earned a small amount of money, and I wanted to work part-time here out of interest, and if I spent all this time on getting angry, it would be too cost-effective. So, Xu decided not to meet with Fei for the time being. ran over and picked up the charging phone, promised to make a look of being ready to go, and took the lead in showing goodwill: "What is the pill you gave her, it seems to work very well for Duomeng." ”
"Have you ever eaten hawthorn pills?" Ah Fei didn't answer the rhetorical question, saw Xu Promise nodded, and said, "It's similar to that." ”
Xu thought about it cutely, it made sense, and it was mostly psychological. Otherwise, with Afei's stinginess, he would never have made a very effective medicine and then put it in a delicately packaged box. It is estimated that it is still the result of the previous treatment, and the pill that is harmless to the body is just a pill that is harmless to the body.
Just out of the door, Afie suddenly sneezed. The promise on the side wanted to laugh, and when he thought about it, he scolded and caught a cold, and it came true so quickly. However, Ah Fei reacted quickly, and immediately put his eyes on her face, promising to do his best to hold on, not letting Ah Fei see the clues.
At least that's what she thinks herself.
