No one dared to delay what the leader requested. After Old Liu gave the order, the people on site quickly came over with a large bundle of shovels.
"Why are there so many? They are all new." Tan Xuan couldn't help grinning as he looked at the dozen or so shiny shovels. Good guy, the shovels are good shovels. They are completely like new ones. If he didn't want them,
Look, it's probably a one-time thing.
Old Liu explained with a slight embarrassment: "There were many people attending the ceremony that day. After using them, they were collected together. That is to say, they can still be found now. If all the workers come up in a few days, these will be distributed as tools."
It can’t be found at all.”
"Haha, really. I thought you were going to keep these. You're lucky. Okay, let's put them down."
Tan Xuan only cared about where these shovels would go in the future. When he saw the shovels being placed in a row on the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up and he directly picked one out.
"Is this the one you have used?" Tan Xuan handed the shovel to Liu Zhiming and asked.
"This..." Liu Zhiming took it and looked at it for a while, then shook his head with a bitter look on his face, "They are all exactly the same, I can't tell them apart."
Su Cheng also echoed on the side: "Yes, these are exactly the same, there are no marks, and it was just a symbolic shoveling of a little soil. Who can remember it?"
"Are they exactly the same?" Tan Xuan sneered as he glanced at the "perfectly matched" pair and snorted coldly, "It seems they haven't improved at all."
"You..." Being ridiculed by Tan Xuan, and in front of so many people, Su Cheng's face was a bit ugly. However, before she could refute, Qian Bo responded with an expressionless face.
"What are you doing? Stop interrupting here."
Qian Bo knew that since Tan Xuan picked out this shovel, it meant that there must be something wrong with it. Now he started to blindly trust Tan Xuan for more than a day or two. "Tanzi, if you find anything, just tell me."
Tell me."
Tan Xuan did not speak, but looked at Lao Liu with a smile.
Old Liu understood this and waved to the two on-site managers beside him, "We have nothing to do here, you go ahead and do your work."
"OK."
The men in white hats didn't dare to say anything. They agreed and turned around to leave. At the same time, they didn't forget to close the iron door when they went out.
When no one else was present, Old Liu lost his domineering attitude. He took the shovel from Liu Zhiming's hand and asked Tan Xuan eagerly: "Mr. Tan, did you find anything?"
There was no way. Like his son, he didn't see any difference between this shovel and the others on the ground. There was no mark on it, so who knew who used it at the time.
Tan Xuan took the shovel, pointed to the upper middle of the wooden pole and said, "Look, is it different from the others?"
Lao Liu took it and took a look, then picked up another shovel from the ground and compared it. His expression was startled, "You mean there is a knot here?"
Tan Xuan shook his head, "It's not a knot. If you look closely, this wooden pole and the hand grip are cleaner than others."
"What do you mean?" Su Cheng on the side couldn't help but asked quickly.
"What do you mean?" Qian Bo glared at Su Cheng angrily, as if he was dissatisfied with her mindless answer, "Of course someone cleaned it up afterward."
"Really?" Everyone's eyes were attracted by Qian Bo's words to the position in the middle of the wooden pole. Upon closer inspection, there was a distance there that was indeed lighter in color than other positions.
"Is there someone who wants to harm me?" Liu Zhiming suddenly asked, trembling, his expression full of fear.
Tan Xuan smiled slightly and said coldly: "Congratulations, you guessed it right. This is someone who is deliberately trying to harm you. Let me tell you, in addition to the wooden thorn pricking your hand, there is actually a hidden polyhedron there.
The evil magic circle. Although the traces have been deliberately removed, there is still some aura left on it, so at a glance I know that this is the shovel you used. The opponent's method is very simple, not very clever, it is to forcefully attract the evil spirit.
Enter the body."
"Who wants to harm me? Who!" Liu Zhiming said through gritted teeth. In anger, his already pale face became even more ferocious.
"It's not easy to know who harmed you. Think about who gave you this shovel and spent so much effort. Can you believe me when I say it was an accidental injury?" Tan Xuan looked at Liu Zhiming and chuckled twice.
, there are some young masters from rich families who are submissive, but this one is more like his true colors, and his IQ is obviously not at home.
"This shovel was given out by Sister Li in order. Do you think it was Sister Li?" Liu Zhiming shook his head vigorously and muttered: "Impossible, Sister Li can't harm me. I have three long and two shortcomings that are not good for her, and at that time
She also reminded me to be careful when holding the shovel."
"Oh, really?" Tan Xuan raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Who is Sister Li?"
As a result, the two older ones were all thinking with their heads down, and Liu Zhiming was even more excited, and no one answered his questions.
"Hey, who is Sister Li?" Tan Xuan asked Su Cheng again.
"Sister Li is in charge of administration in Zhiming's company. I've met that person before. She's very kind. There's no way she could harm Zhiming. You can't be mistaken."
When questioned, Tan Xuan just shook his head, "I don't know who did it, I just mentioned the problem I found. And that magic circle only gathers evil spirits and plays a role in spreading them. The source of evil spirits has not been found yet."
Woolen cloth."
After hearing Tan Xuan's words, everyone looked startled. Old Liu even asked directly: "Mr. Tan, do you think there is something else here?"
Tan Xuan nodded, "Yes, water has a source and trees have roots. There must be evil spirits here, so it was transmitted to Liu Zhiming's body."
"Then did you find any evil spirit here?"
Tan Xuan looked up at the sun that was about to turn overhead and shook his head, "It's almost noon now. The Yang energy is strong and the evil energy is weak. I can only feel the existence of evil energy nearby, but I can't determine the location of the evil energy.
, I can only wait until later to come back.”
"Does it require us to come in the middle of the night?" Lao Liu then asked.
Tan Xuan shook his head, "There is no need to wait until midnight, the yang energy is strong at midnight, and turns from strong to weak at noon. When the yang energy is insufficient at Shenshi, the evil energy will overflow. If there are too many people, the yang energy will be heavy. Then you let the people here
If everyone avoids it, you should be able to see the clues."
"That's it..." Old Liu nodded, not sure if he really understood, and said: "Then I will ask people to evacuate immediately, but I have to trouble Mr. Tan to stay for another half day."
"It's okay, you're already here, just stay a little longer."
Old Liu hugged his fists towards Tan Xuan and said, "Thank you. Let me make some arrangements first. You and Section Chief Qian will rest for a while at a nearby hotel. We will have a light meal nearby at noon, and we will come back later."
Without Tan Xuan speaking, Qian Bo nodded in agreement, "Okay, just look at the arrangements. I thought I could solve it when I came, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."
"Chief Qian, I'm so sorry..."
There may be a lack of other things in the development zone, but there is no shortage of hotels, and the hotels here are all business-oriented, with more complete supporting facilities than in the city. Lao Liu should be a frequent visitor here, so he arranged them directly for Tan Xuan and Qian Bo respectively.
I checked into a room, explained to the room manager, and then left with my family. I don’t know what they had to prepare, but they all left in a hurry, and even Su Cheng didn’t stay.
Tan Xuan and Jiang Yingyue talked on the phone for a while, and then blinked for a while. In the middle, they asked if they needed room service, but he refused directly. Just after twelve o'clock, the Liu family and his son came over on time to invite him to the restaurant for dinner.
.
When Tan Xuan and Qian Bo entered the private room, the table was already filled with dishes. After letting Tan Xuan take the seat of the guest of honor, Old Liu said politely: "Sorry, I was in a hurry. I hope you don't mind."
"You're welcome, that's already a lot." Although the other party is asking for something from him, he always has the proper etiquette, except, of course, when he encounters someone who doesn't deserve his courtesy.
Qian Bo on the side couldn't wait any longer. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food. "Stop trying to fool around with those vain people. Let's eat quickly."
Old Liu was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Tan, let's eat."
The food in the hotel was good, but only Tan Xuan and Qian Bo ate deliciously. Although the others also ate, they were obviously worried and not paying attention to the table in front of them. Although Lao Liu kept smiling, he looked at the smile.
It's obviously a bit far-fetched, and I don't know what they went through just now.
When Tan Xuan's speed of picking up vegetables slowed down significantly, Old Liu finally spoke, "Mr. Tan, do you think this is really about Zhiming?"
Everyone else put down their chopsticks and pricked up their ears to listen. Only Qian Bo was still on the side, and his voice was quite loud but he didn't realize it.
"Haha..." Tan Xuan smiled, put down his chopsticks and looked into Lao Liu's eyes and said, "You shouldn't ask me this question. Do you still have doubts in your hearts?"
"I don't have any doubts, I just can't figure it out." Lao Liu sighed and said, "I have offended many people in the business field over the years. If this matter is directed at me, I can understand it, but Zhiming is not experienced in the world.
, someone is targeting him, which I really can’t accept.”
Tan Xuan shook his head, "I know a little bit about dealing with ghosts. If you are telling me these things between people, then you are asking the wrong person. What I can tell you is that this is not a coincidence. Someone does want to harm Liu Zhiming."
, and he came for his life. What I can do now is to help you find and destroy the source of the evil spirit, and put an end to this matter. As for who did it, you have to find your own way to find out.
Yes, I can save him for a while, but I can’t save him for the rest of his life. You’d better find the root cause, otherwise you don’t know what methods the other party will use.”
"This..." Everyone present, except Qian Bo, was dumbfounded. Tan Xuan's words were straightforward enough. The Liu family was in trouble, but it was a big trouble.
Old Liu's face was gloomy and ugly. He looked at Liu Zhiming and asked: "Zhiming, have you asked Xiao Li? Who is responsible for the procurement management of those shovels, and who has passed them?"
"I asked. The shovel was purchased on site and kept in the warehouse. She only took over the shovel the day before the ceremony. I suspect that someone tampered with it in the warehouse."
"Then when you told her about this, how did she react?"
"I called and asked, but I couldn't see her reaction."
"Haha..." Tan Xuan was amused by the serious conversation between their father and son, and at the same time felt a little sad for Old Liu Tou.
"Mr. Old Liu, Mr. Xiao Liu, please think carefully about the people you have offended. In life, it is inevitable that you will bump into others, but there should not be too many that involve life and death. Anyway, you must do this.
It’s a human being, so I’m sorry that I can’t find out how to check it specifically.”
"Mr. Tan, you are so polite. No matter what, we are grateful."
"You are Welcome."
Tan Xuan looked at Qian Bo, and Qian Bo tapped his fingers on the table twice. After the two looked at each other, they lowered their heads and continued eating slowly. They said what they should say and did what they should do.
