Li Yaodong hurriedly announced the birth dates of his two brothers. The old man took a writing brush and dipped it in cinnabar to write the birth dates of his brothers on the yellow talisman.
Then he took out a stack of paper money, tied the paper money into two strings with a red string, and wrote the horoscopes of Li Yaodong and Li Yaoyang on the two strings of paper money.
After doing all this, the old man handed these two things to Li Yaodong and warned: "Take the yellow talisman with you to protect your two brothers from being discovered by others for a while.
As for these two strings of paper money, you will find two big roosters and hang them on the rooster's neck. Then, corresponding to the birthdays and horoscopes on them, drop the blood of your two brothers' fingertips. You can make the rooster yours.
I will serve as a temporary substitute for you two, disrupting your opponent and buying you more time at the same time."
Li Yaodong gratefully took the things. When he was about to turn around and leave, the old man said: "Wait until you are safe before contacting me. Also, don't let anyone know about the things between you and me, including you.
My brother is here."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, absolutely no other person, including Yaoyang, knows about the art you and I have been learning."
"That's good. I'll leave first. You brothers can take care of yourself."
At the same time, under the guidance of Xiao Hunyu, Zhang Zihao drove everyone to the holiday villa in Jiangbei.
But when they arrived, they found that the building was already deserted. Several people walked around the empty villa and found not even a human hair. Xiao Hunyu held the book of life and death in his hand and said with a frown.
: "It's impossible. It shows here that brothers Li Yaodong and Li Yaoyang are here at this moment. Did we miss something? Hurry up and look carefully."
At this time, Lin Ru in the garden shouted into the house: "No need to look for them, they are here."
Miao Qiang and Zhang Zihao heard the sound and rushed out. Xiao Hunyu put away the book of life and death and followed them to the garden.
Lin Ru was seen staring at a cage with a wry smile on her face. Inside the cage were two big roosters with red crests and green feathers. Hanging from the necks of the two roosters were two strings of paper money soaked in blood.
Zhang Zihao scolded: "Damn, these two brothers are getting more and more evil."
Xiao Hunyu took out the book of life and death again, looked at the back and said with a pale face: "That's not all, their Qi machine has been blocked, and I can't find them for a while."
Miao Qiang said at this time: "This matter is getting more and more complicated. Judging from the methods of their brothers, it is enough to open a file for them in the bureau. It seems that we have to go back to the 79th Bureau after dawn!
"
…………
Early the next morning, Miao Qiang and Zhang Zihao returned to the 79th Bureau. In the director's office, Zhang Jianmin asked doubtfully: "Aren't you two on vacation? Why did you come back just one day ago?"
Miao Qiang organized his thoughts and told what happened last night.
While listening, Zhang Jianmin tapped his fingers on the table of his desk thoughtfully. After Miao Qiang finished telling his experience last night, he said with a straight face: "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. Just now the provincial department
They called me over there, and based on the clues they had, they decided to arrest Li Yaodong and Li Yaoyang. If they dare to be so confident at this time, they must have the support of an expert behind them."
At this point, Zhang Jianmin picked up the phone at work. After a while, he smiled at the phone and said: "Old Chen, this is Jianmin. Now I have such a situation that I want to tell you..."
"Yes, I just received this news. I was afraid that your people would suffer, so I informed you immediately."
"Let's do it this way. Although brother Li Yaodong has absconded, you can issue arrest warrants as normal. As soon as you have any clues, notify me immediately and I will send someone over to assist you in the arrest."
"Okay, okay, okay, that's it."
…………
After leaving Bureau 79, Miao Qiang and Zhang Zihao went to the commercial street in the city center. They visited almost all the real estate agencies nearby, but could not find a suitable location for Jin Ling to serve as an editorial office.
This time it turned to the afternoon. The hungry Miao Qiang glanced at the time on his phone and said, "Damn! It's almost two o'clock. I'm starving to death. I can't survive anymore. Let's find a place to eat first!"
While looking for a restaurant to eat, the sharp-eyed Zhang Zihao suddenly pointed to an independent second floor and said, "Look, old Miao!"
While speaking, he pulled Miao Qiang's arm and dragged him over quickly. He saw the words "for rent" posted on the window on the second floor, and a string of mobile phone numbers underneath.
Miao Qiang and his wife originally wanted to lean on the window and take a look at the layout inside, but the building may have been vacant for too long, and the glass of the window was covered with dust, making it impossible to see clearly what was inside.
This small independent second-floor building is located at the back of the pedestrian street. Although the location is not a good one, it is still quite good for an editorial office. There is a spacious parking space in front of the door, and there is also a flower bed next to the main entrance.
There is a plum tree planted in the middle of the flower bed.
This plum tree is as tall as a person and almost as thick as an arm. At this time, the Qingming Festival has just passed, and green leaves have sprouted on the branches.
Zhang Zihao took a few steps back, and when he was farther away, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then sent the photo to Jin Ling to ask for her opinion.
Jin Ling was quite satisfied after seeing the photos. After asking about their location, she ran over to view the house.
Miao Qiang then dialed the house-viewing phone number posted on the window. The phone rang for a long time and a haggard voice came out.
The speaker was a woman, but her voice was hoarse and dry, and it was impossible to tell her age for a while. "Hey, who is it?"
Miao Qiang took the phone and said: "Hello, hello, I see there is a store for rent behind the pedestrian street. Could you please tell me how much the rent is? When can I check out the apartment?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment and then said: "I'm rushing over now. We'll see you in an hour. It's easy to talk about the rent. If you are satisfied after seeing the house, we can discuss it."
"Okay, we'll see you soon."
Putting down the phone, Miao Qiang smiled at Zhang Zihao and said, "The landlord will come over in an hour. Let us find a place to eat first."
"Okay, Jin Ling will be here in about an hour. What can we two eat?"
Only then did Miao Qiang notice that this children's building was really a single-family building. There was a green belt on the left, a grove on the right, a pedestrian street behind it, and a parking lot in front of the door. There was no one on the top or bottom, one on the left or one on the left.
There are no buildings within a radius of fifty meters to the right, front and rear.
The two finally found a small restaurant in the distance. Since it was past dinner time, there were no other guests in the restaurant. When Miao Qiang and the others came in, a middle-aged couple was sitting behind the bar watching TV.
.Seeing a customer come in, the landlady greeted him with a smile on her face. "Here, brother, please sit inside."
The small restaurant was not big, with only eight tables in it. Miao Qiang and the others sat down at the table by the window, took the menu card handed by the landlady and ordered a few side dishes.
While waiting for the food to be served, Zhang Zihao asked strangely: "Lao Miao, you said this is such a good store on the second floor. Why are there no registrations among the agencies? If we hadn't wandered around, we really wouldn't have discovered it."
Miao Qiang smiled and said: "Maybe the landlord doesn't like to be disturbed by the agent."
Zhang Zihao opened a bottle of beer and poured wine for Miao Qiang while saying: "You are right, the location on the second floor of this small building looks pretty good. If the owner is contacted by the agency, the owner will be called by the agency to view the house all day long.
So annoying."
Miao Qiang took a sip of beer to moisten his throat and said: "From the outside, the first and second floors combined are more than 400 square meters. There is a parking space at the door, which should be enough for Jin Ling. I just don't know what the layout is like inside.
So, if the layout is not good, it will take some effort to redecorate."
Just then, the landlady came over with a plate of peanuts and said, "Come on, brothers, I will give you a plate of peanuts. You drink it first. The food will be ready soon."
Miao Qiang and Zhang Zihao thanked them repeatedly, but the landlady did not leave after putting down the peanuts. She stood in front of the table and seemed hesitant to speak.
Miao Qiang asked in confusion: "Sister, is something wrong?"
The landlady hesitated again and again, then nodded and said, "Sister, what I heard from you just now is that you plan to rent the Xiaohuang Building opposite?"
After hearing this, Miao Qiang and the two nodded somewhat inexplicably.
The proprietress glanced at the Xiaohuang Building in the distance through the window, and then said mysteriously: "Brother, I am not too talkative. Just listen to my advice, that Xiaohuang Building cannot be rented!"
Zhang Zihao asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Why? Because it was a haunted house! The number of people who died in it was almost double digits!"
