Chapter XXVIII

Murphy said so, but Murphy still took out his tablet and began to log on to the internal website of the inspection institute to check the missing person.

Ten minutes later, she was surprised and said, "You really guessed correctly!"

"Two months ago, a worker disappeared from the dam in Xincheng District, the worker's name is Wang Houzhong, 42 years old this year, and he is a migrant worker."

"Two months ago, on the 28th, he was suddenly not heard from at all, and he has not been seen since."

"Her wife, Miao Guihua, also disappeared with her."

I took the tablet from Murphy's hand, opened it, and found that Wang Houzhong was, as his name suggests, a middle-aged man who looked old.

And Miao Guihua is the powerful ghost who wanted to kill all the people of the Zhao family at the beginning!

Closing the tablet, I asked solemnly, "There is a chance to make meritorious contributions, do you want to?"

"What meritorious service?"

"You only need to go to the inspection office to collect information about Wang Houzhong's address, and I can help you find him."

Murphy's eyes lit up, "Deal!"

After eating and checking out, it was already close to twelve o'clock in the morning, and many supper stalls began to close.

Murphy stretched, "I can't send you after drinking, so I'll find a way to take a taxi back."

It will take more than an hour to get back to Zhao's house from here.

Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, I came to find Murphy, and it would take another hour, and the time to sleep was not enough to toss on the road.

I said, "I'm not going home today, I'm going to you for the night, and I'm going to leave tomorrow."

Murphy's eyes were round, "Who invited you!?"

"It's okay, no need to invite, I'll just go myself."

Murphy stared at me suspiciously for a moment, then said reluctantly, "It's okay to come with me, but don't talk about it."

"Got it, I'm not going to ruin your innocence."

"Fart! What does it mean to ruin my innocence, and that means it affects my reputation!"

"Oh."

I followed Murphy around the residential building in front of me, she took the key to open the iron door of a dilapidated small building, and after going up to the fifth floor, she opened the security door and wooden door of the small attic, and then entered the house.

The hut is about 20 square meters, the toilet and the shower room are together, to put it bluntly, a hut is separated by ground glass, and the squatting pit below is the shower head on the top.

The kitchen and balcony were together, and on the table where the food was kept, Murphy's socks and panties were dried.

It was then that I realized that it was extremely inappropriate for me to come late at night to stay overnight.

I hesitated, "Or ...... I'll go out and find a hotel."

"The hotels here are all dirty and messy, so I advise you to live with me honestly."

Murphy skillfully opened the sofa and made it into a bed, with the futon on top.

I wondered, "You have a formal job, not to mention that you are very rich, at least you should have no worries about food and clothing, how can you live in such a place?"

"Young Master Zhuge , I sometimes really wonder if you jumped out of the cracks in the stones, otherwise why don't you understand the people's sufferings at all?"

While making the bed, Murphy muttered quietly, "It's good for a migrant worker in a big city like me to have a room to live in."

"Most people live in hostels, mixed rentals, and don't even have a little private space."

"And I'm living a little shabby, and I'm going to save up to buy a car and a house."

The room was so small that I could only do my best not to invade Murphy's privacy.

Entering the bathroom, I closed the curtain to shower, then quickly put on my clothes, went out and lay down on the sofa bed, turned my face in the direction of the balcony, and let Murphy go to wash.

Twenty minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom with her hair wiped in surprise, "You're so motionless, your back to me is like a statue, it's really polite."

"Speaking of you Taoist priests, can't you get close to women?"

"I am a descendant of the Zhuge family, not a Taoist priest. Moreover, the principle of not seeing and listening to indecent things is something that everyone should understand

。」

Murphy was even more surprised, "You're a bit more old-fashioned than my grandfather, but you're still quite interesting."

"Do you think that it is a very cheesy thing for us ordinary people to insist on saving money to buy a car and a house?"

"No, it won't." I solemnly said, "Ordinary people are obsessed with living a stable life, rich people are obsessed with being rich and prosperous, and cultivators are persistent in attaining the Tao and becoming immortals."

"Everyone has obsessions and greed. When these desires disappear, whoever you want will become immortals."

Murphy lay on the bed, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

"So...... Good night."

At about six o'clock the next morning, I followed Murphy to the inspection office, collected information, and immediately drove to Shanggang Village, which was 10 kilometers away from the construction site.

On the way to Shanggang Village, there are half-built high-rise buildings, as well as houses in the area to be demolished separated by a wall.

The billboards in these development zones are plastered with the familiar trademarks of the Zhao family.

The car was parked at a bumpy intersection ahead, and the road was lined with construction and renovation debris, and the houses were marked with the word "demolition" written on them.

"Let's go, Wang Houzhong and Miao Guihua's family live here."

Walking along the street, the wastewater discharged from the factory made the road muddy, and the pungent stench made me frown.

"Can a place like this be inhabited?"

Murphy said, "Theoretically not, in practice it can."

"The construction site here is non-stop work 24 hours a day, so every day you can hear the strange sound of banging, smell the smoke and the stench of the chemical plant."

"The original residents here have all been paid to move out, and at the same time, they will rent their houses to workers on nearby construction sites at a low price."

"As far as I know, Wang Houzhong lived here before he disappeared."

We came to a dilapidated house, the lock of the door was dusty.

Murphy pushed the door open, and when he was about to enter, he was startled by the scene inside.

Similarly, the middle-aged man who was sitting at the dilapidated wooden table, ready to eat noodles, was also taken aback.

"What are you doing?"

Murphy said incredulously, "Wang Houzhong, you...... You're not missing!?"

"I've been recuperating at home, who says I'm missing?"

I nudged Murphy away from the door, stared at Wang Houzhong for a while, and asked solemnly, "How long have you been here?"

Wang Houzhong didn't answer, but stared at me and Murphy vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

Murphy took out his ID from his pocket, "The staff of the inspection office have come to verify the case."

Wang Houzhong was taken aback, "I didn't break the law."
