ask incense

The boss had doubts in his heart, but he didn't express it clearly. He just said, "Old Qi's incense shop closed down many years ago."

"Why didn't you do it, and where did you go, boss, do you know?"

The boss shook his head, seeing the young man asking himself so eagerly, he finally couldn't help asking, "Their family closed their doors more than ten years ago, and now they came to inquire about..."

The young man smiled inexplicably, "I want to ask their family about a treasure."

baby?What kind of baby can the old Qi family have?In their house, the Avalokitesvara with closed palms looks more precious, but there is a crack in the end, so it won't make people think about asking about it ten years later.The boss took a sneak peek at the Japanese, let alone the statue of Guanyin for foreigners.

Although he didn't find any useful information, the young man still took out an envelope that he had already prepared. Looking at the bulging envelope, he knew that there was a lot stuffed inside.The boss took the envelope, and added another word out of joy, "It's cash again."

The young man was keen, raised his eyebrows and looked at the boss and asked, "Again? Why did someone similar to us come to inquire about it before?"

"No, no. It's for young people who come to pick out gifts for the old man's birthday, and the payment is also made in cash." The boss also made a special statement, "He said he was a boatman and just returned to Hong Kong, so he paid in cash .”

Naturally, few people believed this statement. After hearing what the boss said, the two people, one old and one young, looked at each other and smiled, as if they had guesses in their hearts.When the boss saw them like this, his heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong, and the hand touching the envelope suddenly felt hot.

Seeing that I couldn't find any more information, the young man didn't want to stay in the shop anymore, but the older Japanese seemed to be very interested in the shop and seemed to want to linger for a while.The boss was very knowledgeable and knew that there must be something between them that he couldn't say in front of outsiders, so he just nodded and bowed while holding the envelope, "Please take a look here first, I still have good things inside, and I usually don't take them out easily. My friends are all here, so I’ll go and take it out, and if I like something, I’ll give it an international friendly price.”

After finishing speaking, the boss took the thick envelope and ran away.

As soon as the outsiders left, they lost a lot of scruples and talked a lot more relaxed.The young one had no interest in the industrial imitations displayed in the shop, but he saw that the Japanese seemed very interested in the aromatherapy balls, so he said generously, "If Mr. Saito likes it, just take it, and I'll pay for it." money."

Saito smiled and put down the aromatherapy ball in his hand, and bowed to him, "Young Master Lin Ming, you are welcome, you don't need to buy it, just to see if it is different from ours in Kyoto."

Seeing him bow, Lin Ming had no choice but to bow back to him, thinking that the Japanese is troublesome, and why would he bow to him if he didn’t buy it, so he had to pretend to bow politely, and his waist would protrude up.

After bowing pretendingly, Lin Ming asked Saito straight to the point, "The Qi family can't be found either, except for you, the Southeast Asian man's whereabouts are unknown, and neither is the Qi family. There must be something strange about it. Also, the boss said that someone who ran a boat came over and bought something with cash. Do you think someone will come here before us to inquire about the news? These days, the boat runner They didn’t use cash to return to Hong Kong.”

They know very well that there is only one kind of person who uses cash and that is the one who doesn't want to leave traces.Mobile payment is so easy to check, the direction of money can easily reveal the purpose of acting, or cash delivery can better protect the motive of acting. Lin Ming prepared the money in the envelope in advance, which is also the purpose.

Saito felt that Lin Ming's suspicion was not unreasonable, "The Qiu family had a ship, and the Tang family also held shares in the past. The news of the initial holding of the Dou Xianghui was able to spread overseas, and it was also due to the ship's delivery of goods to spread the news. In recent years , The Tang family's ship is secretly engaged in smuggling, the young man who the boss said may be related to the Tang family, maybe his cash is the proceeds of smuggling."

"Yeah." Lin Ming couldn't stop nodding when he heard this, "It seems that we have to get some news from the Tang Family Fighting Fragrance Meeting. I talked to Shen Xuan and said that he will come later. Since we can't find any useful news here, then we will Let's go, Saito-san."

Saito nodded in agreement with Lin Ming's statement, and followed Lin Ming out of the shop.

The owner of the cat in the attic saw that the two had left, and quickly came downstairs, pacing back and forth in the room.The boss heard their conversation just now, what about smuggling, cash, etc. It seems that the previous cash and the current one are not clean money.

Holding the envelope full of money, the boss became a little uneasy, and kept talking about what to do. He was reluctant to hold the thick stack in his hand, and he was afraid of getting into trouble. Finally, the boss made up his mind and closed After leaving the shop, hide first!Regardless of their grievances, as long as they don't find themselves.After making up his mind, the boss hurriedly went to the back room to pack up some really valuable things and leave with them.

When he got out of the shop and saw that the opposite side had already become the signboard of the dessert shop, Saito couldn't help but sigh, "Everything is expensive and new, but it's just that people keep old relatives."

"What?" Lin Ming looked back at Saito because he didn't know.

Saito shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, I just remembered that Mr. Qi from back then, the posture of burning incense was very beautiful."

The curved items are divided into fragrant dust, the slender fingers point to the red flame, the misty smoke hazes the jade face, and the high mountain moon is in a trance.

Saito remembers clearly that he almost lost to Mr. Qi that day. It was not because he was not good at kung fu.If I have a chance, I really want to see the beautiful scenery of the moon blossoms at that time again.This is the real reason why Saito promised Lin Ming to go to the Tang Family Fragrance Fighting Club again.

"Narcissus?" Zhao Ming glanced at Sai Tianxian, who was as weak as a bone disease. He drank the water now and lay down on the table again. The conversation between Pei Ling and Zhao Ming was really boring, so he had to pick Pei Ling's The back of the hand, or pulling Pei Ling's clothes, looks like a child who is impatient with his parents talking to others. This is a bit too different from Narcissus's posture. Zhao Ming questioned unabashedly, "Only him so?"

Pei Ling is usually not so emotional, but always touched when facing Sai Tianxian.When he heard what Zhao Ming said, he was still ashamed of what he said at the moment, but it was more embarrassing not to allow others to question Sai Tianxian's emotions. Pei Ling refuted Zhao Ming with a thick neck, "Why? You are not convinced?"

Seeing Pei Ling getting serious, Zhao Ming just shook his head, "No, no, I'm convinced, he's Narcissus." As he spoke, he glanced at Sai Tianxian, who had already started hitting the back of Pei Ling's hand with his forehead because of boredom.Zhao Ming looked at it and thought, this has nothing to do with the beautiful Narcissus.Looking at Pei Ling who was persuading Sai Tianxian to sit patiently with a peaceful face, Zhao Ming couldn't help shaking his head with emotion, love is blinding one's eyes.

Zhao Ming didn't plan to stay here any longer, besides, Sai Tianxian, who was impatient with Pei Ling talking to others for a long time, had already started to give Zhao Ming the eye knife, so Zhao Ming half got up, prepared to say goodbye to Pei Ling, and went back to his room Unexpectedly, someone came to tell me suddenly that because of the gust of wind just now, the Tang family's house was old, so the Tang family sent people to check the doors, windows and wiring in each room.

Zhao Ming thought to himself, since someone came to investigate, and he had to face a stranger he didn't know when he returned to his room, he might as well stay and chat with Pei Ling to pass the time, anyway, he was whipped by Sai Tianxian's eyes a lot , It’s not too late, so Zhao Ming sat down again.

"Then I'll drink another cup of tea with you and go back." Zhao Ming shrugged helplessly at Sai Tianxian who was unwilling.

Sai Tianxian was staring at Zhao Ming resentfully, groping with his hands on the table to pull Pei Ling, he wanted to pull Pei Ling closer to him, in case Zhao Ming, who always talked to Pei Ling, took advantage of loopholes.It's a pity that he touched the table for a long time, but he couldn't touch Pei Ling. He was obviously still by his side just now?

Sai Tianxian looked up, and it turned out that Pei Ling had already got up and left. Their room was a direct victim of the wind just now. Pei Ling was worried that the circuit in the room would be damaged by the wind. It was just in time for the hot weather. So I plan to take a closer look with the maintenance personnel to prevent any omissions.

So as soon as someone came to notify the inspection, Pei Ling went to the door and waited. When the maintenance personnel entered the door, Pei Ling followed behind.When they turned around, another maintenance person wearing a peaked cap passed by the door of their room, and was going to check other rooms.Pei Ling turned her head to look at the maintenance engineer who had just passed by. She felt something strange, but she couldn't put it into words.Seeing that the person seemed to be going to Zhao Ming's room, Pei Ling turned around and asked Zhao Ming, "Someone checked your room, why don't you go and have a look?"

Zhao Ming looked indifferent, "It's just checking the circuit, what's there to see. Anyway, the Tang family has made arrangements, so why worry about it?"

Pei Ling was noncommittal, and still followed the maintenance master. Unlike Zhao Mingguang, who sat and waited, he followed behind the master and said enthusiastically, "Master, I need someone to hand you a hand. Tell me, I'll help you."

It's a pity that the maintenance master who came in didn't appreciate it, and just went about his own business mechanically with a blank face.Seeing Pei Ling's enthusiasm, Zhao Ming asked Sai Tianxian with a smile, "You are quite tired like him."

Sai Tianxian glanced at him, "Brother Ling, I'm just a nice person! What's the matter? Are you not convinced?"

Zhao Ming was stunned by the same words again, "No, no, I am convinced. He is the number one good person in the world." But he cursed in his heart, these two people can't tolerate others talking about each other.

After being yelled at twice, Zhao Ming became quiet and turned over the fruit plate on the table without looking for words, while Sai Tianxian tilted his head and concentrated on seeing Pei Ling who was helping the maintenance master.

Pei Ling still wanted to help out, but the master kept his head in his work without saying a word, which was very weird. Pei Ling looked at the maintenance master and saw that the jumpsuit uniform on his body should be the uniform of the company, but there was no sign. Pei Ling reluctantly I kept asking, "Master, which company do you work for?"

The master buried himself in his work and did not answer Pei Ling.Pei Ling looked at the ignorant maintenance master, saw that he was about forty years old, with a crew cut, and a serious attitude, and suddenly thought of the young man in a peaked cap who passed by the door just now.

"Master, why don't you wear a peaked cap? I think your apprentice is wearing it. You look so strict, but you are quite tolerant of young people's trends." Pei Ling said this unintentionally, but the maintenance master suddenly had a wrong expression. He was still stern and indifferent just now, but now he looked a little nervous. He heard the maintenance man say, "I don't pay attention to these things. Well, I can see that your room is fine. "After finishing speaking, he packed up his tools and was about to leave.

Zhao Ming, who was sitting at the table eating grapes, saw the maintenance master leave, and said vaguely, "So fast?" He spat out the grape skins, and stood up, "Then my room should have been checked almost, and I also I went back."

Hearing what he said, Sai Tianxian waved his hand, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a movement of driving livestock. He opened his mouth and made a gesture of mouth. He didn't know what he said, but he seemed to be urging him to go away.

Pei Ling sent the maintenance master away, and when Zhao Ming was about to leave, he happened to be at the door of the room and said, "I'll see you off."

Zhao Ming intentionally said, "Okay." He couldn't bear so many stares from Sai Tianxian in vain.

Pei Ling didn't think much about it, and sent Zhao Ming out very naturally. When he left the room, he passed by the young maintenance worker who was wearing a peaked cap and walked with his head down and didn't look at anyone.Pei Ling stomped her feet and looked back at the young maintenance worker.

The maintenance worker looked like he was avoiding people, so as not to face him, that's why he lowered his head so deeply.Because his head was so low, Pei Ling could see the scar on the spinous process of the cervical spine when he turned his head. Because of the cover of his uniform, he could only see a part of it, but judging from the shape, it should be a long one.

Pei Ling's heart skipped a beat, thinking how the location of the scar could be so coincidental, it was exactly the same as the location where he hit the robber with the saber back then, and the shape of the scar on the back of his neck was exactly the same as the curved blade of the saber he used back then The tip is very similar.

"Go back to your room by yourself." After Pei Ling hurriedly said this to Zhao Ming, she went to chase after the young maintenance worker wearing a peaked cap. Zhao Ming just said "Oh" before turning around and Pei Ling had already sprinted away.Zhao Ming scratched his head in bewilderment, and went back to his room without thinking too much.

"Young master, wait a moment!" Pei Ling wanted to stop the maintenance worker, but the more he told him to leave, the more he walked away, the more Pei Ling felt that something was wrong.He quickened his pace to catch up with him, but in the middle of the chase, the butler suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Mr. Gu, is there anything I can do for you?"

When the housekeeper stopped him, the maintenance worker in the peaked cap disappeared in a flash.

Pei Ling frowned, but she had no choice but to say to the butler, "It's nothing, I just want to ask if everything is fine."

The housekeeper responded with a smile, "Sir, please rest assured, we will take care of these trivial matters."

Pei Ling nodded in agreement, and suddenly people from several guest rooms came out, looking around in the corridor, as if they had something to say.Zhao Ming, who had just returned to his room, also came out, and when he saw Pei Ling, he walked towards him, "Gu Ling, let me tell you, my things are missing."

It was only when he got closer that he saw the butler opposite Pei Ling. The butler turned to Zhao Ming, "What did Mr. Zhao just say?"

Zhao Ming swallowed and quickly changed his words, "No, it's nothing."
