Chapter 043: The Return Trip

The case of the theft of the body was cut off by Lao Youxin, and there was no progress for a few days after that, so I had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being.

The tragedy of Wang Bo's family of three being wiped out, even if it has nothing to do with the supernatural incident, is sensational enough, and there is a lot of uproar on the street, saying everything. Recently, strange cases have been frequent, and some people in the entire urban area are panicking, and there are many voices in the media accusing the police of not handling the case well.

When I saw these reports, I also shook my head, how did these people know the inside story, and some things could not be found out by the police at all.

Because of this incident, it is obvious that my trip with Qiu Xiaoyan can no longer continue. So, after discussing it, we decided to go back first. First, the police have been involved in the investigation, and there is nothing to do with me before there are no new clues, and secondly, the fire in the backyard is not a joke, in case those old ladies tear down their homes, then where do I go back to live?

One afternoon a few days later, I had nothing to do but sit at home and play games.

"Lin Kun, tell me, why are you going these days?" Tang Yan said coquettishly on the sofa.

"Climb the mountain."

"Climbing a mountain? Just climbed the mountain? ”

"That's, how safe I am, I don't pick up girls and I don't fight, I stay in the house every day to play games and watch movies, don't believe it, you smell this smell on me, it's enough to be homely." I quipped.

"Hehe, it's strange to believe you!" Tang Yan stood up, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, walked to my side, handed me a cup, and said: "You'd better stay at home, what about me, take care of your food, take care of your residence, if you are a heart and a horse, you believe me or not......"

"What's the matter, you still want to murder your husband?" I took the teacup and took a sip.

"Hmph, you've pushed me into a hurry, you see if I dare!"

"Oh, my good Yan'er, what's wrong with you, why haven't you seen you for two days, and your body is so angry, it's not like you."

Tang Yan sighed and sat on the sofa, "How can I have you at ease, the company has encountered a lot of things recently, and the Yun family, you know...... I'm stressed right now. ”

"Need I help you with something?"

Tang Yan smiled and shook her head, but did not continue the topic.

When I was chatting with Tang Yan about nothing, the mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate.

I picked it up and looked at it, and it showed Lu Ping's number.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" I picked up the phone and asked.

The slightly hurried voice on the other end of the microphone quickly made my mood gloomy.

There was only one thing Lu Ping called, Xu Duobao was missing.

Half an hour later, I appeared at Xu Duobao's house, Lu Ping was sitting on the sofa and weeping silently, and Xu Yaxian was by her side, comforting her.

Seeing me come in, Lu Ping beckoned me and beckoned me over.

"Lin Kun, you're here, our old Xu is here, he doesn't know what to do, he hasn't been home for a day and a night." When Lu Ping saw me, she suddenly seemed to see a savior, and took my hand and said eagerly.

I patted her hand and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Lao Xu is such a big person, nothing can happen to him, don't worry, he will be safe." ”

"If something happens to Lao Xu, what can you tell me to do." Lu Ping burst into tears.

The kind words comforted Lu Ping, and I pulled Xu Yaxian's sleeve and put it

She pulled out onto the balcony.

"What's going on, why didn't your second uncle go home for no reason, has this happened before?" I asked.

Xu Yaxian propped up the balcony with both hands, and said with a gloomy expression: "You also know that my second uncle is a person who takes care of the family, and he almost takes my second sister-in-law in his mouth as a baby, how can he not go home for no reason." Except for business trips, he always comes home on time. ”

"I didn't get any ransom calls at home, did I?"

"No," Lu Ping shook her head and said, "I haven't received a call like blackmail, but my second uncle's phone can't get through, and it keeps showing that he is not in the service area." ”

I took out my phone and tried to dial Xu Duobao's number.

"The user you dialed is not in the service area now, and your call will be in the form of a voice text message......" Sure enough, an electronic tone came from the receiver.

"Did you call the police?" I turned off my phone and put it back in my pocket.

"I've been to the police station, and people said that they have been missing for less than 48 hours, and they can't handle the missing case," Xu Yaxian turned around with a depressed expression and said to me, "Lin Kun, you are an old friend of the second uncle, if something happens, you must help." ”

"Look at what you said, Lao Xu's matter, I will definitely not shirk if I can help." I patted my chest.

"What do you think can make my second uncle abandon his wife and not even answer a phone call?" Xu Yaxian asked.

"It's not that serious, how could Lao Xu abandon his family and wife, most of it was because he encountered something that he couldn't get away from for a while......"

As I spoke, something suddenly popped into my mind: the Glass Eight Treasures Soul Mirror.

If there is anything else that can make Xu Duobao bear to leave his wife and disappear for more than a day and a night for no reason, it must be this glazed Eight Treasures Town Soul Mirror.

"In the few days I've been away from Xi'an, has your second uncle been anywhere?" I asked.

This glazed Eight Treasures Soul Suppression Mirror is a magic weapon, not an ordinary burial object, I have seen the power of this thing last time, although I used the talisman to temporarily restrain its yin energy, but I dare not guarantee that this Soul Suppression Mirror still has the ability that I don't know.

"Where have you been?" Xu Yaxian was puzzled, "I don't know, why are you asking this?" ”

"Hey, forget it, this girl doesn't believe what I say, and she doesn't know anything about the whole thing, so don't get her involved." I hesitated for a moment, but I still didn't say anything.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking to see if there are any clues."

After staying at Xu Duobao's house for a while and comforting Lu Ping, when I returned home, it was already dark.

And at this very time.

In Qiu Zhengliang's bedroom, Yundong visited him as a guest. Seeing Qiu Zhengliang lying on the bed, as if he was seriously ill, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The grudge between the Qiu family and the Yun family is Qiu Zhengliang and his father's generation. Seeing that Qiu Zhengliang was also dying, it was inevitable that he felt lonely in his heart. The older generation is finally leaving, and I am afraid that the situation will become more and more difficult to control in the future.

After all, Qiu Zhengliang is well-informed and thoughtful, even if the two families have hatred, it is unlikely that there will be much of a storm. But as long as he leaves, the Qiu family will definitely be in chaos, because the cooperation between the old Qiu family and Qiu Zhengqiang's faction will have no foundation, and at that time, no matter who takes over the position of the head of the Qiu family, he will not be able to achieve the overall situation like Qiu Zhengliang.

He has been leading the Yun family for several years

, Yundong knows too much about the temperament of the young people of the Qiu family. If there is really a big conflict between the two families in the future, they will not have too many scruples, and I am afraid that the Yun family will have a lot of trouble.

Especially in the face of the current situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

Since he came in, the housekeeper made tea for him, and Qiu Zhengliang has been staring at him. The old fox is an old fox after all, a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he pretended to cough twice, and said in a weak voice: "Second Master Dong, I didn't expect that many years later, you were the first to step into the door of the Qiu family." “

Yundong smiled bitterly, arched his hand towards Qiu Zhengliang, and said: "After all, it is the grievance of the previous generation. In this society, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. The Qiu family and the Yun family have been fighting for so long, which is not a good thing for both families. “

Qiu Zhengliang coughed and coughed three times, holding his chest with one hand, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, but he waved his hand to stop him. He glanced at Yundong and said lightly: "If the Qiu family really fights with your Yun family, Xi'an will have no Yun family name for a long time." “

Qiu Zhengliang did not leave any mercy.

"Brother Liang is still so confident, I know that you are extremely wise, and the Qiu family can have today completely because of your merits. However, then again, the Yun family's power and prestige are several times that of the Qiu family, how can you be sure that the Yun family must not be the opponent of the Qiu family? Yundong said not to be outdone.

Qiu Zheng's conscience sighed softly, knowing that Yundong was telling the truth. After all, the Yun family did not completely force the Qiu family to death, but still left a lot of leeway. Otherwise, as he said, the Qiu family would have long ceased to exist.

But Qiu Zhengliang has been practicing in the open and secret battles of the seven major families for decades, and he has long been well versed in the way of the game, and said unhurriedly: "Didn't you forget, Second Master Dong, it's not that you don't want to deal with the Qiu family, it's because the Chu family is watching from behind." “

"Hahaha, what does Brother Liang mean is that with the strength of my Yun family, I will still be afraid of the Chu family?"

"Isn't it?" Qiu Zhengliang said mercilessly.

"You-" Yun Dong finally held back his words, he knew that what Qiu Zhengliang said was not wrong, if the two families really clashed, even if the Yun family won, it would kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but in the end, it was the Chu family who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

"Brother Liang's analysis of the current situation is indeed very unique."

Yundong knows that this kind of opportunity is exactly what the Chu family, who is now in the first place, is looking forward to.

Qiu Zhengliang smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Yundong, who is rumored to be short-tempered in the rivers and lakes, is not so uncalm as the legend says. ”

He knows the most critical point of the problem, now the seven major families are in a delicate relationship, even the Hu family and the Tang family, which are ranked last, if they really fight to the death, even the Chu family will not dare to make a move. Because there are several other families staring at each other, at the first opportunity, they will immediately pounce on them like crazy crocodiles, tearing the weak party to pieces.

Xi'an has so many resources, so over the years, the seven families have more or less cooperated with each other. Sometimes, in order to defend themselves against the invasion of outside families, they will also join forces with each other. Therefore, under this situation, the interests of the seven families have long been closely related.

It's just that now, the mysterious deaths of Yun Dongbei and Qiu Zeming have made the seven major families smell a kind of conspiracy. Moreover, looking at whom, it looks like a murderer.

The Qiu family, on the other hand, directly locked the suspect at the Chu family. At present, only the Chu family has the strength to plan such a thing.
