[Sister, did you see that everyone who comes to the street knows my sister, this is called a network. 】
"You're the rice bug who eats, drinks and doesn't work at Brother Ashes' house!"
"what..."
Nian's movements froze, but she still couldn't refute, after all, what Huaihu said was true.
"Then you are..." Huaihu looked at Xi, her horns, arms, and tail behind her.
"I'm Xi, this guy's younger sister."
"Oh! You are Mi Chong's younger sister!"
No matter how unpleasant these words sounded, but Xi didn't like to get angry, so he could only give Nian a fierce look at the culprit.
Nian smiled awkwardly, and turned his head to look at the scenery, although the billboard was obviously nothing to see.
Chapter 644 Please Care For The Orphaned Old Carp
"Stop saying hurtful things with such an innocent face, Huaihu, who were you chasing in such a hurry just now?"
Turning over the somewhat embarrassing topic, Ashes asked Huaihu.
"Ah...too bad! I was a little too excited to see Brother Ashes, and almost missed the job!"
"Actually, I was just chasing a group of smugglers who just arrived at Longmen. Uncle Li just received a letter from his former friend, hoping that he could snatch something from these smugglers. I was about to track down their smugglers." The den, after Uncle Li gets his stuff, call the Guards Bureau and they will be wiped out."
Huai Hu began to jump lightly on the spot a little restlessly, like a tiger about to attack.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" When encountering such a thing, Ashes would definitely get involved.
"Brother Ashes is indeed a chivalrous man! There is nothing wrong with me here, but Uncle Li may need some manpower. If possible, please go to the office to find Uncle Li first! That's it, I will go after that first." Friends! See you later!"
After all, Huai Hu hurriedly started her pursuit, and saw an orange streamer pass through the crowd, rushing towards the distance, and disappeared without a trace after a while.
"It's really young and energetic. Are all female college students like this?"
Nian looked around a few times, although Huaihu said she was a rice bug, she didn't care about it.
"How about I also wear the whole school uniform? Or go in and take a class?"
"Let's forget it. It's over for any university that can have a student like you."
Xi rolled her eyes, apparently still harboring grievances about her younger sister being called Mi Chong.
Seeing the two sisters who were still arguing, Ashes reached out and patted their heads, "Okay, let's stop for a while and go meet my old friend. I don't know if Lao Li is still alone now?"
The Old Li Office, or Li's Detective Office, is a half-grey and half-white place in Longmen, and Ashes, who eats everything in black, white, and gray, naturally knows these interesting guys.
During the three years he stayed in Longmen, he also made many friends, including a few people from Laoli Office.
Huaihu, a female college student with a strong sense of justice, Hum, a gentle and kind chef, Ah, a strange doctor who likes to treat people with extraordinary means, and Lao Li, the owner of the office.
After detours on the streets of Longmen, the three of Ashes came to the door of the office. The large characters hanging on the plaque showed the traces of wind and rain, but they were even more deep and steady. Although the few people inside It doesn't have much to do with this word at all.
Pushing open the door and entering, the office is a little empty, only a figure sitting in front of a square table, who is constantly scratching his hair, looks troubled, his sitting posture is a bit crooked, and he looks very loose.
He is the boss of this firm, Lao Li, wearing a modified black Tang suit, with his hat put aside, the two pointed horns on the top of his head and the thick tail behind him faintly point out his appearance. Race.
That is the unique race of Yan Kingdom - dragon.
Hearing the sound of someone pushing the door, the old carp didn't lift his head, but responded:
"Sorry, the office is closed today. Please go back. If you have anything to do, please come back in a few days."
"Long time no see, Mr. Li, aren't you welcome?"
Hearing this, Lao Li was taken aback for a moment, then quickly raised his head, and found that he was standing at the door, pushing the door with one hand, while looking at him with a half-smile.
"Brother Ashes? Oh! If you want to come, why don't you know me? When did you return to Longmen?"
Old Li was a little surprised, he quickly got up and put on his hat, and walked quickly to Ashes.
"Just today, not long after I came back, I happened to meet Huaihu on the road just now. I heard that you need manpower, so I hurried over here."
"What? Will you drive me away as soon as I come?"
Ashes reached out and patted Old Li's shoulder, and the two sat down together, Nian and Xi also sat down together, unceremoniously grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the square table and started to lick them.
"It's better to come early than coincidentally, Brother Ashes, you really solved my urgent need." Just as he was talking, Lao Li took out a letter, "This is a letter from my former classmate and old friend, he entrusted I got something and escorted it back to Yan Country, but I encountered some difficulties right now."
Lao Li smiled awkwardly, which made Ashes a little curious. Although Lao Li looked casual, he was capable. Now he just robbed a group of smugglers to get something. How could he? Encounter difficulties.
"This is really strange. With your ability, what problems can you encounter?"
"Ahem...About this..." Old Li coughed a few times, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his thumb on his index finger and middle finger a few times.
What he meant was self-evident. In jargon, money was tight, but in plain language, he was out of money.
“…”
Ashes obviously didn't expect such a situation, he thought that Lao Li encountered some kind of enemy blocking or something, but it turned out that he simply ran out of money?
"Ahem...don't look at me with that kind of eyes, the so-called penny stumps a hero."
"Where's the office money?"
"This is..."
Old Li's gaze began to wander left and right, Ashes also sighed, and stopped asking further questions.
After searching a few times in the wooden soul box, Ashes took out his savings card and handed it over. Because Ashes had previously invested in Rhodes Island, he was also considered one of Rhodes Island's shareholders, so he naturally got a dividend. Yes, and as a six-star operator, he himself also has a basic salary. There is nothing to spend money on Rhodes Island, so he has been saving it all the time. He never thought that it would be useful now.
"I don't know how much more, but it must be enough for you."
"Thank you for your great kindness, brother Ashes, after the matter is completed, I will definitely repay you double."
Taking the savings card, Lao Li swept away his previous worries, got up, straightened his clothes, and extended an invitation to the three of them.
"Brother Ashes, and the two ladies, why don't you go to the auction with me? After all, it's not your own money, so you don't feel at ease spending it."
"Auction house?" Ashes tilted his head, "I thought you just robbed the goods, but you want to leave the auction house?"
"Recently, the Guards Bureau has been keeping a close eye on it. It's better to go through regular channels if you can. Chen sir has been working very hard for some reason recently. It's not easy for us to make a living in the cracks."
Pressing down on the brim of his hat, Lao Li beckoned the three of them to go to the Longmen Auction House, where the items entrusted by his old friend were about to be auctioned.
Chapter 645 It's over for you
What happened in the auction house didn't have any ups and downs, it just went through the formal process in an ordinary way, and then took the object that Lao Li wanted in an ordinary way.
Previously, the old carp showed embarrassment, and Ashes thought that the funding gap he needed was not small, but after the old carp pointed out the item he wanted at the auction, Ashes found out that its price was indeed in this auction. It can't be ranked, and it can almost only be compared with some small items as gifts.
When the auction ended, several people walked towards the backstage, where the transfer of auction items and money circulation would take place.
"Hey, okay, sorry to trouble you, miss."
Holding the antique box from the receptionist's hand, Lao Li heaved a sigh of relief, holding the bottom of the box with one hand and opening it with the other.
The object standing still in the box is a wine cup, which is painted black all over, with a simple and elegant shape, and the most eye-catching thing is the pattern on it.
It was as if the head of a ferocious giant beast was opening its mouth slightly, as if it was about to raise its head to the sky and howl in the next moment. It was so vivid that people even thought that the giant beast would come to life immediately.
"How? Is everything okay?" Ashes leaned forward and looked at the wine cup side by side with Old Li. His brows were slightly frowned, and he sensed something.
There is something on this wine cup, it's not real, it's closer to a soul fragment, but it's still sleeping, and Ashes can't find out its real body.
"No problem, the things are right." Lao Li closed the box carefully, put it in his pocket solemnly, pressed down the brim of his hat and smiled lightly at the others.
"Then... the matter of Bai Dao has been settled, and the matter of the gray area, I wonder if you have the leisure to take a second look at it?"
Lao Li sent out an invitation, and then his communicator vibrated, and when he opened it, it was the message from Huai Hu.
"Oh? Huaihu has also found the lair of this group of smugglers, and now we just need to shut up. Let's move quickly. If we encounter the Guard Bureau, we will inevitably have to waste our words."
Helping Ashes make a decision on his own, Old Li took the lead and walked out. Ashes shrugged and followed his footsteps.
On the other hand, Nian and Xi deliberately slowed down a little, hanging behind the two of them so as not to be too far apart, leaving a distance where they could whisper.
"Hey, did you see that?"
"Sister, I haven't reached the age of presbyopia, of course I can see clearly."
The eyes of the two people on the night of the year leaned forward, and they all fell on the square box in Lao Li's arms, or on the wine cup with the pattern of "year" in it.
"It must be her, right? It must be her, right? What's going on this time?"
"You are the least qualified to say such a thing."
"Da Yan...what else do you want to do?"
Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, and lightly tapped the cast iron in his hand with his fingertips. The appearance of the wine cup was so coincidental that Nian had to think about how many schemes there were in it.
"Well... Forget it, what do I care about? Soldiers come to flood the water and soil. It's really impossible. Isn't it over after finding ashes? It's useless for us to worry about things that he can't settle."
After just contemplating for a moment, Nian gave up thinking. After all, this is not the past, with such a thick thigh beside him, why not hug his thigh if he can hug it?
Great inflammation?Hmph, let him come and go!
Seeing Nian's appearance, Xi could only let out a long sigh helplessly, wondering if this guy was a fool for being a rice bug, and now he just left everything to Ashes?
In this case, let's open it!
It's over, what is Dayan going to do, ah, yes, yes, yes.What is that person going to do, ah, yes, yes, anyway, something happened, wouldn't it be over if Ashes went to them with the spiral sword to reason?
Ever since, Xi also gave up thinking.
With Lao Li leading the team, Hui Hui and the others also came to a hidden den. At this time, Huai Hu had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Lao Li and the others coming, his eyes lit up, and he began to gear up. Can't wait to prepare to go in to punish the evil and promote the good, and justice is done.
Old Li winked at Ashes and the others, then nodded at Huaihu, and then the two of them rushed into the den alone, and the den was suddenly in chaos, shouting, cursing, and fighting began to stir, and Ashes didn't He didn't participate in it. After all, this level of small troubles is not enough for him to help. The skills of Lao Li and Huai Hu are enough.
After the restlessness lasted for a while, it gradually calmed down. After a while, two figures walked out of the smoky den. It was Lao Li and Huai Hu. Apart from the messy corners of their clothes, there was nothing unusual about them. .
"Phew, it's over. These guys are quite stubborn. There is only one person left and they have to fight. It's a pity that they still can't escape Huaihu."
The old carp flicked the brim of his hat, and said with some emotion.
His old friend's daughter has grown to this point now, but he doesn't even have a housekeeper himself, so Lao Li now feels more and more that he is going to become a widowed old man.
But fortunately, the guy surnamed Liang must be the same as him. After all, that guy has no womanhood at all, so he can tease him well when the time comes.
Thinking so, Lao Li raised his head and cupped his fists towards Ashes, saying:
"Brother Ashes, you really helped me a lot today."
