Two thin slices of beef float on top of the soup sprinkled with chopped green onion, as if the extra slice of beef is a blasphemy to this bowl of noodles, which is all about authenticity.
This kind of noodles will last seven bowls for the second time.
The place is on the street where the [Tenglong] Welfare Institute is located. Not far away is a noodle stall with a cart... The noodle cook is not very old.
"It seems this isn't your first time here." Xiao Luo Sir looked at the Second Sword King with interest and ordered the eighth bowl.
Of course the noodle stall owner is happy.
The Second Sword Emperor peeled off a piece of garlic and started chewing it, "This stall has been open for many years. I guess the owner is the second generation, but the taste has not changed much."
He should be really familiar with this place, maybe he came here often... when he was still living in the orphanage.
"But it's only during festivals that the nuns in the yard will pack some and bring them back." The Second Sword King said softly: "For the children in the orphanage, it is a rare meat dish. Even if a piece of beef is chewed,
When it becomes dry, drink the soup and it will taste better again."
SIR Xiao Luo said: "Don't the welfare homes always have external funding?"
"It used to be." The Second Sword Emperor wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, "In the beginning, the conditions were not bad. Later, the contractor was caught, and the welfare home lost its funds. After a while, the director had to sell himself
The family can barely maintain itself. But even so, the orphanage has no way to accept more children...and no one comes to adopt them, so there are even fewer donations. This is a vicious cycle."
"I heard that the contractor is a demon from the Demon Cult." Xiao Luo SIR said calmly.
"His name is Xiao Dan, and he did do a lot of charity back then." The Second Sword Emperor muttered, "But he also abducted many girls under the guise of doing good deeds and performed evil rituals of the Demon Cult."
"Have you also investigated?"
"Thirty years ago I was only a few years old, how could I investigate?" The Second Sword Emperor shook his head: "These are what I saw after I entered the [Nantianmen] and checked the files."
Xiao Luo SIR said: "From your tone, it sounds like you have some doubts about this."
The Second Sword Emperor asked curiously: "Why do you think so?"
"Because you will still deliberately investigate what happened when you were a few years old when you become an adult." Xiao Luo SIR said casually: "This means that this incident had a lot of impact on you when you were young.
"
The Second Sword Emperor was silent.
Xiaoluo SIR has always been very patient and was not in a hurry to answer questions at this time.
"Before Xiao Dan had an accident, he often came to the orphanage." The Second Sword Emperor said slowly in silence: "In my memory, he has always been a person who loves children. Every time he comes, everyone will
Surround him."
"Some people think that children cannot tell the difference between good and bad."
"What are good people and what are bad people?" The Second Sword Emperor said expressionlessly: "For those lonely and helpless children, whoever can provide them with food and clothing, or even be willing to listen to them, is a good person."
Xiao Luo SIR said interestingly: "This is not what a [Nantianmen Inspector] should say."
The Second Sword Emperor shook his head and said: "No matter what, this case was already thirty years ago, and the [Trial Chamber] has also concluded the trial. No matter what the outcome is, it has been finalized, and there is no point in discussing it anymore... Or should I say
Let’s get back to the matter of Yanzi.”
The other party is the [Nantianmen Inspector] and if he wants to know information about the situation, he can get it in minutes, so Xiao Luo SIR will tell the truth - anyway, that's all the information the third group has.
"...Well, listening to what you said, it seems that Zhang Wei deliberately led you to investigate Yanzi." The Second Sword Emperor frowned at this time, "Yanzi became the pharmacist of Shennong Pharmaceutical. I am
I know. I originally thought that after completing her studies and finding a good job, her life would be secure, but I didn’t expect that she disappeared..."
"Don't you know Zhang Wei?" Xiao Luo SIR suddenly asked.
"I haven't heard Yanzi mention it." The Second Sword Emperor mused: "After she turned eighteen, Yanzi moved out of the orphanage and worked part-time while studying for a degree. Later, I saw that she was working too hard, so I supported her for a while.
It allowed her to concentrate on completing her studies, and she was indeed successful... But after she found a job, she came back to the orphanage less frequently. Perhaps it was because she was too busy at work. Later, the dean said that Yanzi only came back every day.
She just remits money regularly every month. Speaking of which, not counting my retreat four years ago, I haven’t seen her for more than a year... Is this Zhang Wei really Yanzi’s man? Where is he currently?"
"Headquarters' detention room."
"Hmm..." The Second Sword Emperor thought thoughtfully.
Xiao Luo SIR suddenly said: "I just found a mechanism in the dean's office."
The Second Sword Emperor said directly at this time: "It's the secret room under the dean's office, right? It's just a place commonly used to store supplies, nothing special. It seems that the place originally existed, and was discovered by the dean accidentally.
It was simply converted into a warehouse, and because it was such a big deal, we often played hide-and-seek in there when we were kids.”
"So there is one?" Xiao Luo SIR thought for a moment and said, "So, maybe it was dug by the contractor?"
"Probably not." The Second Sword Emperor thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the dean that the predecessor of [Tenglong] Welfare Institute was actually a Yizhuang. The secret room in the underground should have been there during the Yizhuang period.
"
"In this way..." Xiao Luo SIR nodded, and then added: "But the orphanage has also been closed. Judging from the time, it should be after Yang Ziyan disappeared. It seems that nothing can be found here."
The Second Sword Emperor frowned and said: "Of course you can't find anything like this. Since Yanzi is missing, the place you should investigate most should be her place of work, her place of residence at the time, etc.!"
Xiao Luo SIR said: "Zhang Wei reported the case three years ago and has already investigated her place of residence and workplace, but found nothing, so I decided to change my thinking and see if there are any new findings."
"People don't disappear for no reason." The Second Sword Emperor mused: "It is not easy to become a licensed pharmacist. This is already a high-level talent. Logically speaking, Shennong Pharmaceutical cannot ignore it. This matter is beyond imagination.
The simple one...are you from the third group?"
"What are the plans for the inspection?"
The Second Sword Emperor said directly: "I will intervene in the investigation of Yanzi's disappearance. But don't worry, you are still the main one. I will only assist you from the side, and even provide you with help when necessary."
Xiao Luo SIR asked curiously: "Is this in compliance with the rules?"
The Second Sword Emperor said calmly: "What I'm talking about are the rules."
"I don't seem to have any reason to refuse." SIR Xiao Luo smiled casually: "But aren't you busy with inspection duties?"
The Second Sword Emperor said: "Everyone in the [Nantianmen] headquarters, from top to bottom, wishes that the inspector would just squat in the house drinking tea every day, having another boring day, and be a happy salary thief. So it was decided,
Anyway, my brother hasn’t been found, so I have nothing to do now.”
"Your brother?"
"Second Xiaowu, have you heard of it?"
Looks like...beaten before?
Xiao Luo SIR blinked and said: "Young Emperor, of course I have heard of it."
"Let's not talk about this. Let's go. You can work another shift and accompany me to Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry." The Second Sword Emperor waved his hand directly at this time: "Boss, check out."
"Ah? Guest, this bowl of noodles?"
"Pack it for me to eat on the way."
"Okay!"
…
…
Not long after, an old man smoking a dry cigarette came to the stall and looked at the young boss who was packing up his car and asked, "Business is good today?"
"Dad, why are you here?" The young boss quickly put down the tools on hand and pulled out a stool for the old man to sit on.
"I just finished playing chess with my friends and stopped by to see you."
"Today something very delicious came. I ate seven bowls and packed one bowl away." The young boss smiled and said, "I thought it was too late, so I just closed the stall."
"You have to pack up after eating seven bowls?" The old man of dry cigarettes was stunned, and he took another puff of dry cigarettes with his mouth clicking, and said in a deep voice: "How old are you?"
"Looks like he's in his thirties, right?" The little boss thought for a while and said, "Wearing a tattered training suit, he is quite strong. He should be doing physical training or something like that. Normally, the amount of food we eat is not so large, and we are here
It’s not some high-end spiritual food.”
The old man was silent, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?"
"No, I just remembered something from the past." The old man shook his head gently, "You should move faster and go back early to spend time with the child."
"Okay!"
The old man continued to smoke his cigarette slowly, his eyes penetrated the vastness of the night, looking at the orphanage in the distance that had been desolate for a long time, and murmured to himself: "Could it be him?"
——Are you hungry?
——I want to eat noodles.
——You are a child in an orphanage, right? Come on, here you go... you can really eat. Isn’t the orphanage full? How many bowls are these?
——The seventh bowl, I’m full and I have no money.
——...Okay, I am unlucky today.
——Seven people! I ate you seven bowls of noodles, one bowl of noodles for one person, and I will help you... kill seven people!
——This child!?
…
"Child!" the old man suddenly shouted.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
The old man said seriously at this time: "Next time this guest comes to eat noodles, remember not to say anything to him. If he gives money, give him money. If he doesn't give money, treat it as a good deed... Remember, don't talk to him.
say."
…

…
In the villa by the lake, the lights are brightly lit...the lights in all the rooms are lit, which is what Yu Shiyao requested.
The reason is that starting from tonight, Saint Si Wuxie will temporarily move in... The Saint likes to light up all the lights.
[Luo Shen] Holy Land Saint, Aunt Xia, who has a lot of gossip, naturally has no objection... During this period, who dares to easily offend [Luo Shen] Holy Land, even after learning that Si Wuxie will be with Yu
When she acted opposite Shi Yao, Aunt Xia immediately felt like she had won the first prize in the lottery.
"You guys! Pay attention to me and take care! If you don't treat the saint well, I will deduct all your salary!"
Aunt Xia put her hands on her hips and directed the servants in the villa to start working.
On the other side, Gu Qianchai, who is the captain of Yu Shiyao's personal guard team, is also frowning at this time - because this time Saint Si Wuxie has also brought a lot of holy land guards... How to arrange these guards, too
It's quite a nuisance.
"Captain, there is someone outside asking to see you."
"Who?" Gu Qiancha couldn't help but frowned. If it was someone who knew him, wouldn't it be better to find him directly?
"This... is a man, and he has a young girl with him." The subordinate said quickly: "He said you were meeting him, and he said he was a craftsman who came to repair the wooden building by the lake... When are we going to repair the wooden building?"
"Where is he now?" Gu Qiancha suddenly frowned.
…
In the room, Yu Shiyao looked a little tired and worried, holding the quilt and curling up at the head of the bed... her fingers were typing on the screen of her mobile phone.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she pressed the send button with her thumb.
"alright?"
Si Wuxie asked directly.
Yu Shiyao nodded, "I told him what happened next...that Mr. Luo, but he hasn't replied yet."
"Didn't you just send it over?" Si Wuxie looked amused, "You're too nervous."
Yu Shiyao sighed and rubbed his forehead, looking even more weak.
Si Wuxie said: "You take a rest first, I'll give instructions to the servants outside."
"He replied." Yu Shiyao suddenly said at this time.
Si Wuxie quickly sat down and asked, "What did you say?"
"I know, I will deal with it." Yu Shiyao raised her phone and said, "That's what I said."
…
Gu Qianchai arrived at the entrance gate of the villa area. Sure enough, as his subordinates said, the people who asked to meet were a rough man and a girl.
He pondered for a moment, then asked his men to retreat and received him alone.
"I am Gu Qiancha." He said directly: "I don't know why you two are looking for me?"
"Wen Duo." The rough man patted his chest directly, "This is my assistant...my young master asked us to come here."
"Master?"
"My young master's surname is Luo." Wen Duo chuckled softly at this time, "Captain Gu, regarding the incident in the wooden building, you promised my young master, you won't forget it so quickly, right?"
Gu Qianchao's face changed slightly.
He concealed the mummy hidden in the wooden building very well. Even Mingxia didn't know it at this time - only he and Mr. Luo who walked into the wooden building by the sand at that time knew.
, and only one subordinate.
Gu Qianchai had already given orders to his subordinates and Shabian, not wanting to damage the reputation of the escort, so they were allowed to keep it a secret for the time being.
"Haha...it turns out to be Mr. Wen." Gu Qianchai nodded at this time, "Of course I will not forget what I promised Mr. Luo...It's just that I think Mr. Luo seems to be quite interested in the things inside the wooden building. Why this time?
Why don’t you come here by yourself?”
"My young master makes tens of millions every second. He has to do everything by himself!" Wen Duo patted his chest at this time and said, "For such a small matter, just send me, a human elite!"
——With tens of millions per second, is your young master probably not the biggest corrupt person in [Nantianmen]?
Gu Qiancha shook his head. He didn't bother to confront this rough guy at this time, so as not to lose his identity... He had already planned to dispose of Mulou's body, but Wenduo happened to arrive at this moment.
Rough people do rough things, right?
"Then, Mr. Wen, please come with me." Gu Qiancha said casually.
So, under Gu Qiancha's arrangement, Wen Duo and the girl arrived at the small wooden building without attracting anyone's attention.
"You two, please." Gu Qiancha said directly: "But it's best to hurry up, because even if you don't come, I plan to get rid of the things inside before dawn."
"Don't worry, we will take away the dirty things when we leave." Wen Duo didn't even look back, he directly opened the secret door on the floor, and then...then threw the girl he brought down.
Girl... Xiaoyao: "??!
"
Gu Qiancha: "?"
"Oh..." Wen Duo waved and said directly: "I'll check if there are any gas traps or anything like that."
Gu Qiancha couldn't help but open his mouth... So this girl you brought here is used like this?
