Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 92 Doorbell

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Lao Wang thought that Ma Lu would go home directly, but he didn't expect that he only rode less than 20 meters and stopped again in front of a street stall.

When the stall owner saw another three-wheeler coming, she thought it was here to steal business. She looked like she was facing a formidable enemy, but she heard Ma Lu say, "Let's get some fried rice noodles!"

The aunt then breathed a sigh of relief, "The meat and vegetarian ones are 12 yuan and the vegetarian ones are 8 yuan."

"If you want meat, give me 5 more pieces of meat." Ma Lu took out his phone and scanned the code.

It's rare to meet a high-profile customer and he's traveling with them, so the aunt couldn't help but chat a few more words, "Young man, are you closing the stall or leaving the stall?"

"Close the stall."

"So early? Then the sales must be good today."

"It's not bad. I made more than 20,000 yuan."

The aunt was happy when she heard this, "My wife drank two kilograms of Erguotou and you dare not brag about it! Okay, I will definitely find a wife in the future."

"Hahahaha, thank you for your kind words."

While chatting with Ma Lu, the aunt kept her hands busy and skillfully put various ingredients into the pot.

In the end, not only did I add 5 more pieces of meat, but I also got an extra egg.

When Ma Lu was squatting on the roadside eating luxurious fried rice noodles, he met Ms. Chen and Mr. Zhou again and drove away in the white GLC.

Ms. Chen in the car probably saw Ma Lu and Lao Wang on the roadside, but she just curled her lips and left without saying hello.

Mr. Zhang was the first to leave among everyone because he made an appointment with his friends to have a foot bath together.

Malu slowly finished his portion of fried rice noodles and returned to the tricycle. Lao Wang in the front seat opened his eyes.

"Are you leaving?"

"No, I want to see it again."

"What are you looking at?"

"Let's see if we can find the real owner of this shop." Malu didn't find a napkin, so he took an oil paper bag containing meat buns and wiped his mouth.

"What do you mean? Aren't the owners of that shop the same couple we met before?" Lao Wang asked confused.

"I thought so at first. But don't you think it's strange that there are tenants above the hot pot restaurant.

"There are three communities next to here. If you search for it, you can immediately find a lot of rental information. However, the tenants above do not rent, but choose to live in commercial and residential buildings with more expensive rent, water and electricity, and noisier properties. inside.

"And when I proposed to evict the tenants above and rent the second floor to Mr. Zhang, who was willing to pay more, and turn it into a chess and card room, two shrewd people like Ms. Chen and Mr. Zhou actually hesitated and did not agree immediately. Come down."

"Maybe it's because the contract on the upper level hasn't expired yet," Lao Wang said.

Ma Lu shook his head, "That couple doesn't seem to be people who will abide by the contract honestly. The previous hot pot restaurant did well, but the lease was not renewed after it expired. What happened to the family was just Ms. Chen's unilateral excuse. Who I don’t know what happened.”

After speaking, Malu pointed to the surrounding streets.

“Although the upper floors of this kind of street-side commercial and residential houses are cheap, they are not easy to rent out, because the guests are generally lazy, and there is no difference between climbing stairs and climbing Mount Everest in their eyes.

"Not to mention that in this neighborhood with very little traffic, many second floors are used by businesses for their own accommodation. This can save commuting time and get a better rest."

"In addition, those who are not from this universe may not know that in many cities there is a profession called second landlord."

Malu shrugged, "Of course, all this is just my guess, but we can wait for the tenants on the second floor to come back to confirm."

However, the two of them waited until almost 9 p.m., and the windows on the second floor were still dark and did not look like they were inhabited.

"Is it possible that he went on a trip, or is he a social worker working in a big factory?"

Malu yawned and felt sleepy.

Yesterday afternoon, he went out to collect ingredients and caught up with the beast tide on the other side, struggling for more than ten hours.

I didn't rest much after I came back, and then I went to the werewolf's hardware store for a walk. I set up a stall in Hangda until dark, and at night I went to visit the store non-stop.

It's almost time to rest now.

"How about we come back tomorrow morning?" Lao Wang suggested.

"Okay." Malu couldn't stand it anymore, but before leaving, he had an idea and decided to go up and knock on the door.

This is the way Ma Lu behaves. Even if there seems to be little hope, he will go up and support him as long as there is no cost.

But now the question arises again, how to get up there?

Looking at the massage clinic next door, there are stairs on the first floor that lead to the second floor. However, Ma Lu did not see the stairs when he walked around the hot pot restaurant before.

It has probably been demolished, so that there will be a few more square meters of space on the first floor, which can naturally be rented at a higher price, but it is impossible for the people living above not to come down.

Considering that there are shops on both sides of the hot pot restaurant, there is only one possibility left.

"Let's go into the community." Malu said to Lao Wang.

Following an old couple who were walking their dogs, the two of them successfully passed through the community's access control and went around to the back of the hot pot restaurant, where they found another back door.

Ma Lu stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered, and looking up from here, the window on the second floor was also dark.

Is there really no one?

Malu was a little disappointed and was about to leave, but he thought of something else.

No, this iron door is installed on the first floor, but the person above lives on the second floor, so he shouldn't be able to hear ordinary knocks on the door.

So how does he receive express delivery and order takeout?

Malu turned on the flashlight mode of his mobile phone and took pictures around him. Finally, he found an inconspicuous black doorbell in the lower right corner of the iron gate.

"…………"

Why would anyone install a doorbell in a damn place like this? !

Malu reached out and pressed twice, but after waiting for half a minute, no one came down.

So he pressed it twice more, and then looked up. From the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch something flashing behind the window. However, when he looked over again, there was nothing there.

Malu was a little unsure if he was dazzled, so he turned to ask Lao Wang.

"Did you just see it?"

"I saw it." Lao Wang nodded, affirming.

"What did you see?"

"I'll send the video directly to you."

After Lao Wang finished speaking, a metal round wire quietly stretched out from under his jacket and was inserted into Ma Lu's bracelet.

When the transmission was completed, an additional 2.4-second image appeared in the traveler's bracelet.

Malu was not in a hurry to look at the video, but exclaimed first.

"Good guy, can you still take pictures?"

"Well, my eyes can be used as high-definition cameras."

"Then we won't need to install a driving recorder in the future."

Malu joked, but soon he stopped laughing.
