Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Wood

I didn't have any excuses, not even a train ticket. Early the next morning, I rushed to my private detective agency, wanting to deal with all the business, and then went south to Anhui.Even a master warlock like my father was planted in the Seven Star Ghost Cave, so I'm afraid it will be bad luck if I go here.But since it was my grandfather's order, I was also helpless. Since I was a child, I have never violated any of his wishes. As soon as I opened the door of my private detective agency, the phone on the desk rang harshly, and I frowned. Could it be that when I was about to announce the closing of the private detective agency, there was actually a big business coming?I went over to answer the phone.

On the other end of the phone, a young man's voice came: "Yuan's Private Detective Agency?" "Yes, are you?" I asked cautiously. "My surname is Xu, and we are Xu!" The other party introduced on the phone, "We heard that Mr. Yuan is not weak in martial arts. We want to ask Mr. Yuan to do something, and the price is easy to negotiate." Anyone who runs a private detective agency has a few skills. I'm well-known in the Panjiayuan area, so I didn't decide there was anything wrong with the other party asking me to do something. Out of professional habit, I asked, "What's the matter?" ?”

"I want to ask Mr. Yuan to escort me to Anhui!" said the other party. Anhui?I am very sensitive about this place now, and I didn't make a sound at all when I heard the words. The other party probably thought I was unwilling, and said a little eagerly: "One million, Mr. Yuan, how about it?" My hand trembled, and I almost couldn't hold the phone receiver, a million?If this person is either joking or crazy, ask me to send him to Anhui with one million?Is he out of his mind? "One million euros..." The other end of the phone saw me speechless for a long time, thinking that I was not satisfied with the price, and hurriedly said again.

A million euros?I was more shocked when I saw it than when I saw the skull in the gold-and-red lacquered box under my grandfather's bed. My heart jumped up again, and I asked tremblingly, "Is it going to Anhui?" "Yes!" The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Mr. Yuan, when are you free?" If I still have my life to come back from Anhui, this money is enough for my life's expenses. If I can't come back, it can also give my grandfather a comfortable old age, so I agreed without thinking too much. "I'm going to leave in the afternoon, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a train ticket." I said while suppressing my beating heart. I was originally planning to leave for Anhui in the afternoon.

"I'll be in charge of the ticket. I'll give you a call. If you're ready, just call me." As he spoke, the other party reported a series of numbers, and I hurriedly found a pen and paper to record them down. After thinking about it, I was still uneasy, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Xu, how are you going to pay the deposit?" No matter what kind of business, asking for a deposit is not too much, right?I thought anxiously in my heart. Hearing this, the other party smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm not going to pay the deposit." My heart fell straight down with a "plop", and at the same time, an unknown evil fire burst out, what is it?If I don’t plan to pay a deposit, then if I send him to Anhui and he walks away, who do I ask for money?Could it be that someone is joking with me?Just when I was about to swear, on the other end of the phone, the person surnamed Xu said slowly: "Mr. Yuan, business is all about sincerity. Although it is the first business between me and Mr. Yuan, there must be cooperation in the future." Therefore, I will pay half of the reward first, you give me the account number, and I will send you the money immediately."

My mind "boomed" as I thought about it, and I didn't dare to hesitate in my heart, feeling vaguely suspicious.Seeing that I didn't speak, the other party hurriedly said: "Mr. Yuan, what's the matter? Just give me your account number, and you can check it in 20 minutes. Do you want Euros directly, or is it equivalent to RMB?" Although this matter is weird and inexplicable, but who dislikes money as a hot hand these days?I thought about it, and immediately reported my account number of the Agricultural Bank of China. I didn't open an account abroad, and all the bank cards were only this one.The other party asked politely again, do I want RMB or Euro?

I'm an out-and-out Chinese, so I didn't even think about it. I asked for RMB directly. You can go to Anhui by hand, and then hang up. I grabbed the receiver and heard the sound of "beep..." from inside. I felt as if I was living in a dream. It was the seven stars summoning souls, or Ninghui's soul-catching bell, or even my mysterious grandfather. , compared to the phone call just now, it is a piece of cake. This person is really weird. If he is not a lunatic, he is... For the rest, I don't know why, a shadow rose in my heart inexplicably, an ominous omen spread in my heart, I even longed for this to be just a prank between someone and me.But fifteen minutes later, the phone on my desk rang sharply like a reminder.

My hands were trembling a little, and I didn't follow my instructions very much. I took a deep breath, picked up the phone with a steady mind, and just said "Hello", the voice of the person just now came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Yuan Is it? The money has been remitted, you can check it..." His voice was very gentle, even very sweet, but for some reason, it made my ears "boom" and my heart sank. I instinctively said "um" and hung up. I got on the phone, and then, I almost ran out, and checked the account balance at the nearest ATM in Panjiayuan...

By the time the balance was displayed on the ATM, I was already stunned by the long string of zeros. This man is not kidding...he really sent the money. In an instant, my mind was blank, and the Venus in front of my eyes danced wildly, faintly condensing into a spoon. It seemed to be the Big Dipper?Could it be that this person's going to Anhui is also related to the Seven Star Ghost Cave? "Sir, can you hurry up?" A person next to me hurriedly urged me. I let out an "ah", hurriedly took out my bank card, apologized hastily, and walked back to my private detective office.I had just walked a few steps when someone slapped my shoulder heavily. I was in a daze when I was suddenly attacked. Out of the instinct of a martial artist since childhood, I clasped my backhand towards the opponent's veins and grabbed the opponent's veins with one stroke. A thick body behind him was thrown out firmly.

"Ouch..." A familiar moan came to my ears, and I came to my senses. When I looked again, I saw my friend Mu Mu lying on the ground, with his feet up in the air, moaning in pain, "I said, Boss Yuan , you...did you take the wrong medicine, and made such a heavy hand?" "Ah...Wood, why are you here?" I asked puzzled.
