Chapter 29: Clues
The two waited until it was dark, but still did not see the thunder fall.
"The face is full of bad luck, the fierce star is shining on the top, and there will be a bloody disaster in the near future. ”
These few words suddenly flashed through Dao Yuan's mind.
Almost at the same time, Rou'er also spoke: "Could it be...... Mr. Mo's words have really come true!?"
"If you don't come back after tonight, then you can't be wrong!" Dao Yuan frowned and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I'll go to the little third son and ask them, I hope it's not what we think!"
This night, both of them were also worried and couldn't sleep.
The next day, as soon as the sky turned white, Dao Yuan immediately got up and told Rou'er not to go out, and he went out of Tianxiang Yaxie alone, and went straight to the residence of Xiao Sanzi and others. Luckily, Thunderfall had inadvertently mentioned the approximate location before, otherwise, he really didn't know where to find them.
On the deserted street, only a few breakfast shops were open, and bursts of white steam came out of them, and a faint fragrance wafted over with the somewhat cool and humid morning breeze, which made people appetize.
Dao Yuan didn't care about this, and he came to a slightly deserted and somewhat decadent and dilapidated place according to his memory. This is the south-eastern location of the city, which is already very close to the edge of Cloud City, and is some distance away from the thunderous Five Winds Tower.
For some reason, this area should have been a good place for people to gather and flourish, but the reality is the opposite, not only are most of the houses here old and dilapidated, and many have even collapsed, in stark contrast to the neat red bricks and green tiles on the other side of the street.
Dao Yuan was worried that he didn't know where to start, but he found that the third son walked out of a dilapidated house not far away with another teenager.
There weren't many people on the street, and the two of them immediately saw Dao Yuan, they hurriedly ran over and asked with a smile, "Brother Dao Yuan, why are you here?"
"Let me ask you, did Thunderfall come here yesterday?"
Seeing that Dao Yuan's expression was different, Xiao Sanzi and another teenager glanced at each other and replied, "Yes, Boss Lei did come here yesterday and told us about Miss Rou'er, but didn't he go back at noon?
"Thunderfall...... Missing. ”
It was only at this time that Dao Yuan was finally completely sure that Lei Luo had really had an accident, otherwise, he would never have not appeared for such a long time. Well, that's the only one left to do.
"What?!" The two of them were shocked when they heard this: "How can this be?!Wasn't it okay yesterday, how can you ...... in the blink of an eye?"
After thinking for a while, Dao Yuan asked, "Besides Li Chuan, have you ever had a holiday with other people before?"
"Nope. Xiao Sanzi shook his head affirmatively: "In a situation like ours, where would we be qualified to have a festival with others!" Over the years, Boss Lei has also tried to avoid this kind of thing, I can be sure that except for a fight with Li Chuan's gang a few days ago, there is nothing else. ”
"Then do you know where Li Chuan lives now?"
"What do you mean...... Boss Lei's disappearance was done by Li Chuan?"
"I'm not sure yet. Dao Yuan pondered: "However, even if it is not them, it should be inseparable from them." ”
"Then without further ado, I'll take you to them now. ”
Half an hour later, Xiao Sanzi panted and pointed to a courtyard similar to Wufeng Tower, and said, "That's where Li Chuan stayed, I heard that he has lived here for seven or eight years. ”
"I'll go in and have a look, you can go back first. Dao Yuan said a word and strode towards the door.
"Brother Daoyuan, I'll go with you, Boss Lei's whereabouts are unknown now, I really can't rest assured. Xiao Sanzi was a little sad, and his tone was full of worry.
He and Lei Luo have played since childhood, and their relationship is very deep, and the two have helped each other through countless difficult and difficult days.
Thinking of this, Dao Yuan sighed slightly: "Okay then!"
The courtyard gates are two dilapidated wooden doors, which have long since decayed and seem to be in danger of breaking down at any moment. Dao Yuan gently pushed, and the wooden door opened.
Although everything inside is also dilapidated, it is still much better than Lei Luo's Five Wind Tower, and it seems that Li Chuan's life is much more comfortable than Lei Luo's. The third son followed behind Dao Yuan, looking around incessantly.
Standing in the courtyard, Dao Yuan listened intently, and a slight snoring sound came from a room to the right of the main room. He walked over and pushed open the door with a few holes, and suddenly a strange smell greeted him.
It was a mixture of sour, damp and old, and it smelled disgusting.
Xiao Sanzi turned his head and muttered with a bitter face: "Fortunately, I didn't eat breakfast......"
Frowning slightly, Dao Yuan walked in first, looking at the figure that was sleeping soundly and with his back to him, he coughed lightly and looked at each other quietly.
"Didn't I say it, don't bother me so early, a guy who has no memory, are you looking for a beating!"
Li Chuan stretched his waist, lifted the quilt that was full of grease and could no longer see the original color, sat up in a daze, scolded in his mouth, and rubbed his eyes with his hands. When he saw the appearance of the person who came, he suddenly jumped up from the bed and subconsciously said, "Why are you!......? How did you find here!?"
"It doesn't matter, the next question I ask is what you should answer truthfully. ”
Li Chuan's eyes rolled: "What do you want to ask?"
The reason why he didn't choose to flee or make a move immediately was because he knew that he was not the opponent of Dao Yuan, and seeing that the extremely fast and powerful little beast did not follow, he was a little relieved, and moved his feet back undetectably.
Dao Yuan said indifferently: "If you want to run away or do something, I advise you to give up this idea, because now I am very angry, but I don't want to hurt you, I just want to ask a few questions." ”
Li Chuan's heart was shocked, he stopped his movements, and shouted inwardly, "What do you want to do?"
"It's very simple, Lei Luo disappeared, did you do it? Or did Lu Qianlin instruct you to do it? Where is he caught by you now?"
"I ...... I don't know!"
"Really?" Dao Yuan took a step forward, and the two sword eyebrows were getting closer and closer.
The third son shouted from behind: "Brother Daoyuan, if this kind of person doesn't give him some color, he won't tell the truth." ”
"Then I'll give you some color first!" Li Chuan shouted angrily, suddenly picked up the stick behind him, and smashed it at the top of Dao Yuan's head. He didn't think that he could hurt Dao Yuan, he just wanted to take advantage of the gap of this blow to take the opportunity to escape through the window, as long as he left here, then he would be safe.
Dao Yuan raised his left hand lightly, grabbed the tail of the stick in an instant, and swung his right fist at the same time, hitting Li Chuan in the chest.
"Bang"
"Ahh
Li Chuan clutched his chest, leaned against the wall in pain, didn't care about the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, looked at Dao Yuan in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... How did you get so powerful!?"
This punch, Dao Yuan only used fifty percent of his strength, but even he didn't expect that only fifty percent of his strength would actually knock Li Chuan out, it seems that this guy should be injured a lot. It stands to reason that the normal Gathering Spirit Realm should not have such a great power, and it must be the credit of the gods.
"You haven't answered my question yet. ”
"I ...... I really can't say it!Otherwise, Lu Gongzi will kill me!" Knowing that there was no hope of escaping, Li Chuan instantly collapsed.
"It's not just Lu Qianlin who can kill people!" Dao Yuan said lightly: "If you still refuse to say it, I can't guarantee that I won't kill you!"
This sentence is, of course, to scare him.
Dao Yuan knew that even if Li Chuan and Lei Luo had a holiday, then they would only fight a few times at most, and they would not do anything too out of the ordinary, killing and imprisoning this kind of thing, he should not dare to do it, besides, he himself was a poor person, and Dao Yuan didn't want to embarrass him too much.
But if this matter really has something to do with Lu Qianlin, then Lei Luo's situation will be dangerous. Now it seems that I am afraid that I really can't get rid of this gentleman, so Dao Yuan has no choice but to make this decision.
"You...... Don't come here!"
Li Chuan was extremely frightened, his body had already resisted the corner of the wall, and there was no way to retreat, but Dao Yuan's calm expression made him feel a cold fear even more. In his opinion, this kind of calm expression made people tremble helplessly from the heart more than those teeth and claws and eyebrows.
Fortunately, he was not so frightened that he lost his mind, and seeing the situation clearly, he decided to tell the truth, after all, even if Lu Gongzi wanted to kill himself, it would be later. If he is stubborn, he will be killed by the young man in front of him immediately.
Seeing Dao Yuan's arm slowly raised, Li Chuan hurriedly shouted, "Don't kill me! I say!"
Dao Yuan retracted his movements and looked at him quietly.
Li Chuan's face turned pale and drooped his head: "Lei Luo was sent by Lu Gongzi to arrest him!"
Dao Yuan's eyes shrank: Sure enough, it's him!
"A few days ago, Lu Gongzi sent someone to follow you to the Tianxiang Yaxie Inn, but the person in charge there is also a person with a powerful background, so it is not convenient for them to do it directly there, so they ordered us to keep an eye outside, and as soon as you come out, report to him immediately. Yesterday morning, when you came out, I asked one of my brothers to report the news. Because I was afraid of being discovered by you, I had to follow the thunderfall all the way to Dongcheng. ”
Li Chuan secretly glanced at Dao Yuan and continued: "Later, Steward Liu of the Lu Mansion came, knocked him unconscious on the way back from the thunderfall, and gave me ten taels of silver when he left...... That's all there is to it. From start to finish, I just ran errands for them, I didn't do anything else, I told the truth, you ...... Don't kill me. ”
"Then do you know where Lei Luo is being held in the Lu Mansion?"
“...... I don't know, every time I go, I'm taken by someone, and I can't walk around at all, so I don't know anything about the situation inside. ”
Dao Yuan could see that Li Chuan was telling the truth. Because of this, he felt that things were a little tricky, and he was silent for a while. Li Chuan didn't dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing him.
"Where is the Lu Mansion?"
Xiao Sanzi said: "I know there, Brother Daoyuan, I'll take you there." ”
Seeing that Dao Yuan finally left, Li Chuan let out a long breath, and the heart that had been hanging finally fell, and at this moment he realized that the clothes on his body had been soaked with cold sweat for some time.
Xicheng, in front of a luxurious mansion covering an extensive area.
Xiao Sanzi and Dao Yuan stopped not far away.
"Brother Daoyuan, that is the Lu Mansion. ”
Dao Yuan looked in the direction he pointed, only to see two vermilion lacquer gates several meters high open in all directions, a pair of powerful and domineering stone carved lion beasts standing on both sides, and two strong men like iron towers stood in front of the door, watching left and right from time to time.
After going around the entire Lu Mansion and understanding the topography of the buildings everywhere, Dao Yuan said, "Let's go back." ”
Xiao Sanzi asked strangely, "Brother Daoyuan, what do you want to do?"
"Tonight, visit the Lu Mansion at night!"
