Chapter 52 Lu Ax's Commission
Chapter 52 Lu Ax's Commission
Although several people dispersed, but the matter did not let go.Especially Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu. Although the two reached an agreement on the direction of action regarding Dai Xia's matter, there are still many details that need to be dealt with.
For example, what exactly does Dai Xia want to do?What is his identity like?
But compared with these things, Lu Ax's matter is obviously more important.Yuan Mu was going to find Lu Ax the next day to ask him about what happened during his arrest. Sometimes people think they don't know anything, but in fact it's just that he has ignored the truth.
However, Yuan Mu first came to the snack shop to have breakfast as usual, before he went to find Lu Ax, he came to ask him for help first.
"Looking for a house?" Yuan Mu put the last bite of cake into his mouth, looked up at Lu Ax and asked, "Where's your previous house?"
"Sold." Lu Ax replied.
"Sold it?" Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you sell it? Wouldn't it be nice to keep it?"
"I always feel unsafe." After Lu Ax finished speaking, he glanced at the magic snacks, beckoned Yang Yang over and asked, "Do you live in this shop?"
"Yes." Yang Yang nodded, remembering that Lu Ax once promised to make some electric self-defense equipment for himself, he immediately became enthusiastic, "Why did Brother Lu suddenly think of asking this? If you need my help, just tell me! I will definitely It is a duty to do so, and I will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
"Haha...Yang Yang, you can do it." Seeing Yang Yang's dog-legged appearance, Yuan Mu laughed loudly, and said, "Then you can find a house for Lu Axe."
"Looking for a house?" Now it was Yang Yang's turn to be confused, he looked at Yuan Mu and then at Lu Axe, thinking of the windbreaker, finally gritted his teeth and agreed.I thought, isn’t it just a house?What a big deal it can be!
Seeing that Yang Yang had taken over the matter, Yuan Mu nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Zhou Liang pushed open the store door and walked in. As soon as he came in, Yuan Mu raised his hand and waved, then turned to Lu Ax and said, "Well, let's put aside the matter of the house. Lu Ax, let's ask A few things about you, about what happened during your detention."
"Well, okay." Lu Fu knew that this was a serious matter, so he didn't refuse, and nodded readily.
After Zhou Liang sat down, he didn't say much, pointing directly at the subject, "Lu Fu, do you still remember how many other people were there in that villa besides you?"
"I've seen only four of them." Lu Fu thought for a while and replied, seeing that Zhou Liang and Yuan Mu both had such expressions on their faces, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"You are locked up on the second floor, do you know that there are other people locked up besides you on the second floor?" Yuan Mu asked again.
"No." Lu Ax replied, he thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, the day before you came to rescue me, the man who guarded me brought two boxes of lunch into the room as usual, but he didn't take it as usual. I ate the same. He threw the rice to me and went out with the extra box of rice."
"He usually eats a box?" Yuan Mu continued to ask as if he had found a clue, "Do you eat it all in the room?"
"Not every time, but I usually eat with me in the room. Probably... three or four times I will go out to eat." Lu Ax said while recalling: "The day before you came to rescue me and He went out to eat two days ago."
"Are you sure?" Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I'm sure." Lu Ax nodded and said, "Because he suddenly gave me a bunch of materials and asked me to help them make utensils."
Yuan Mu nodded to show that he understood. He turned to Yang Yang and asked, "You sent six takeaways, right?"
"Yes." Yang Yang nodded, and said, "I also asked the takeaway brother, and he said that the number and time of takeaway in the villa are fixed. Every day at 03:30 in the afternoon, there are six takeaways."
"That's right." Zhou Liang nodded and said, "After you rescued Lu Axe, I was the last one. I only found four people." He paused, tapped on the table as if thinking about language , and continued, "Those four are all monsters, but according to what you said, there should be a human in it, but I searched the entire villa, but I didn't see that human."
When Zhou Liang said this, Yang Yang remembered that the middle-aged man he followed in Hei Ri for the first time had never appeared since he led them to the villa area.
"According to the number of takeaways, there should be six people in the villa. Apart from Lu Fu, there is another unknown person." Yuan Mu said, glanced at the other three people, and continued:
"Why are those four monsters unwilling to tell the mastermind behind them, and their mana is low, and our process of saving Lu Axe is so easy, I suspect that they are just the other party's abandoned sons. Even if they are willing to ask, they can't ask the key point s things."
"I remember Yuan Mu said that human beings can't use magic weapons, right?" Yang Yang interrupted suddenly, "He is a human being, he can't disappear out of thin air, and he can't use magic weapons, there must be clues left behind."
"I think so too." Yuan Mu nodded and said, "It was Zhou Liang and I who thought something was wrong today, so I wanted to ask Lu Ax to make sure and see if he had seen that mysterious person. Since he hadn't, We can only ask Hong Yuan for help."
"Okay, I'll go to Hong Yuan's side." Zhou Liang nodded, got up and walked outside.
After Zhou Liang left, Yuan Mucai looked at Yang Yangruo and said meaningfully: "Yang Yang, you are wrong. It's not that humans can't use magic weapons, it's that humans without magic power can't use magic weapons."
"Oh, yes, Taoists like Chi Dun and the others must be able to use it." Yang Yang touched his head suddenly, and replied with a smile: "I'm talking about ordinary humans like us! Chi Dun and the others are not here. It's within the scope of the discussion."
Yuan Mu just looked at him, smiled and didn't speak.
It was Lu Ax who suddenly said, "You mean, that person might be from a Taoist sect?"
"I just have this idea, I'm not sure yet." Yuan Mu didn't seem to want to get too entangled in this topic, he glanced out the window and said, "But as long as Hong Yuan helps, it's only a matter of time before we find that person."
"That would be the best." Yang Yang nodded, turned his head and asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "Hey, Lu Fu, do you have any requirements for the house if you want to move?"
"Request?" The other party froze for a moment,
Then he said: "Requirement is safety."
"Safe?" Yang Yang felt dizzy when he heard the request, and said, "Brother, I live in the store myself, besides, you are a monster... Big man, do you have anything to be afraid of? And I I don’t know anything about security companies, why don’t you spend some money and I’ll find some bodyguards for you?”
"Haha, Yang Yang, stop being funny, okay?" Yuan Mu finally couldn't listen anymore after hearing this, and he said, "Lu Fu was frightened by this kidnapping, so he sold all his previous houses. For your safety, don't talk about finding a few security companies, even if you find Zhongnanhai's bodyguards, it won't work."
When Yang Yang heard his words, he instantly understood.The security that Lu Ax mentioned is not something that ordinary bodyguards can block, what he wants to guard against is monsters.This is even more difficult!Yang Yang turned to Yuan Mu for help, hoping that he could help.
Anyway, they are people who have acted together several times, or people in a small team...
Yuan Mu lived up to his expectations, and reminded: "I don't know about other places, but your shop is quite safe. Zhou Liangcha lives nearby, and next door is Yue Binghe, the owner of Hexingmen. The pool shield of Taoism. Ordinary monsters will stay away."
"Oh! That's right! How did I forget this!" Yang Yang's eyes lit up when he heard this, thanked him, then turned his head and patted Lu Fu's chest to promise that he would definitely complete the task and find him a satisfactory house.
Now that Yang Yang patted his chest and promised, Lu Ax has nothing to say.After asking Yuan Mu to make sure he had nothing else to do, he also left the shop.
After he left, only Yuan Mu and Yang Yang were left in the store.Yuan Mu glanced at Michelle who was researching new desserts in the operating room, and said to Yang Yang: "There is no one now, I have something to tell you."
Seeing the other party's serious expression suddenly, Yang Yang's heart trembled, he nodded and said, "Speak, I'm listening."
"Do you still remember what Wu Zhongwu told me yesterday?" Yuan Mu asked.
"Dancing in the rain? Are you talking about Dai Xia?" Yang Yang reacted quickly, he asked, "Do you doubt him?"
"I always feel that he cooperates a bit too much." Yuan Mu said, he paused and continued, "Think about it, our excuses are simply unimaginable and full of loopholes, he would actually believe that either he has a problem with IQ or it was intentional .and……"
This time, he paused for a long time before saying: "He is so handsome, I always feel that there is a conspiracy when he comes to deliver food!"
Yang Yang rolled his eyes when he heard the last sentence, and said, "If you are handsome, you can't deliver food?!"
"Don't you think it's strange?" Yuan Mu didn't care about his complaints, and asked.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Yang nodded and said, "When you put it that way, I think he is a little too cooperative. But you can't doubt him just because of this! He helped us anyway."
"That's right." Yuan Mu nodded and said, "So I asked Yu Zhongwu to check the details of that Dai Xia and that Lobster Restaurant."
"Has it been found out?" Yang Yang asked after hearing this.
"The Lobster Restaurant is normal. It was opened by an ordinary person. It is quite famous in that area. It has been open for almost ten years. It has a business license and health certificates. Dai Xia is their new courier. He has been on the job for less than three years. According to the boss's recollection, he applied for the job at about the same time as the Hexingmen incident."
"Before Lu Ax was kidnapped?" Yang Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean he knew that Lu Ax was going to be kidnapped?"
"Anyway, I don't think it's a coincidence. There are so many coincidences in the world." Yuan Mu suddenly remembered something, looked at Yang Yang and smiled, "Or do you think it's a coincidence?"
Yang Yang originally wanted to refute Yuan Mu's words, but suddenly closed his mouth when he looked at the latter.
He suddenly remembered that he went to find Zuo Yong at the beginning. Now that he thought about it, it seemed to be a coincidence. It was a coincidence that he met Hu Weixian. It was a coincidence that Hu Weixian discovered that he could see the prototype of a monster.But if you think about it, is it really a coincidence?
He once asked Zuo Yong afterwards, and Zuo Yong said that Hu Weixian was no longer in the company at that time, and he appeared in the company that day without knowing what happened, and he was so enthusiastic about him, so enthusiastic that Zuo Yong once thought he and Hu Weixian We met before.
"Brother Yuan Mu, Brother Yang, what do you want to eat?"
Michelle's sweet voice suddenly came from behind, Yang Yang turned around and saw Michelle's small face looking at him with a pair of big eyes with a smile, and suddenly he was relieved.
Whether it is a coincidence or not, he is grateful for these arrangements, allowing him to come to work here and meet these people.
