"Lao Xu, I called Lao Ren for help. Do you mean you don't trust me by asking all these questions?" I didn't bother to pay attention to Xu Duobao and walked straight into the store.

However, as soon as we walked into the store, we noticed something was wrong.

"Why do I feel weird?" Even Xu Duobao felt something was wrong. There was probably something wrong with this store.

It is now past ten o'clock in the evening. Even the antique shops in Liulichang at the foot of the Imperial City usually don't stay open so late. They are basically closed in the evening. After all, the industry is different. Antiques do not rely on customer traffic. So-called

"If you don't open for one year, you will survive for three years if you open for business." Sometimes one business can be worth a year's income.

"Show your highlights with your moves," I reminded Xu Duobao behind me.

The store seemed a little too quiet. Although the lights were on, the lights seemed a bit cold.

As if separated from the outside world, the room was quiet and lifeless. Only the footsteps of Xu Duobao and I on the floor echoed abruptly in the empty room.

"Lin Kun, could it be that group of people who came to find me?" Xu Duobao asked me uncertainly, holding his arms.

"Don't scare yourself, you are just a peripheral, there is no need for them to cause trouble for you." I slowed down my steps and comforted Xu Duobao, but by then things would be fine, and he would get scared.

In just a moment, we walked through the corridor behind the store and walked into the house behind. Xu Duobao's store is in the form of a front store and a backyard. There is a corridor connecting the two buildings, so they are not affected by each other.

Influence, and this backyard is basically a place where he receives guests and rests.

Along the way, all the lights were on, and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it, but it did not dispel our doubts.

"Old Ren?"

"Xu Yaxian?"

I stood in front of the stairs and shouted to the second floor, but I didn't get the slightest response.

"No one is at home? Didn't Lao Ren come back with Yaxian? Where are they?!" Xu Duobao followed me and swallowed nervously.

"You're not really captured, are you?" Xu Duobao looked horrified.

"Shh!" My face also became a little solemn. I was still assured of Ren Yonghai's work efficiency. He and Xu Yaxian should be at home at this moment, but how could there be no one at home?

"I'll go upstairs and have a look. Will you follow me up or wait for me in the living room?" I looked back at Xu Duobao.

It was really eerily quiet at home, as if it was cut off from the outside world by some force. I took out my phone and took a look. As expected, the screen showed no signal.

"I...I'd better stay in the living room." Xu Duobao looked around with some hesitation, but he struggled in his heart and finally chose to stay.

"Okay, you wait for me below." Today, I have experienced a lot of things. Xu Duobao, an old boy, is not very courageous. Feeling the weird atmosphere here, he feels even more uncertain.

I didn't embarrass Xu Duobao. When I saw him staying on the first floor, I turned around and walked up the stairs.

After exiting the stairs, you will find the corridor on the second floor. Orange light shines from the corridor lamp, giving the empty and narrow corridor a layer of cloudy and treacherous color.

"I remember that Xu Duobao installed an LED light here. Why did he change the light bulb now?" I glanced at the light bulb under the lampshade and felt a little strange. If there was something going on in the store, people wouldn't be so kind.

Changed the light bulb?

I stood there for a short while without rushing to check, thinking that if there was anything unclean, it would be time to show up.

"Creak, creak, creak", at this moment, there was a slight noise from the stairs behind me, as if someone was walking up gently along the stairs.

"Is it that old boy Xu Duobao?" I was a little confused. "Isn't he staying in the living room and not daring to come up with me?"

I secretly paid attention, walked a few steps quietly, and hid behind the corner of the stairs. The forbidden sword finger in my left hand was ready to strike. If it was something unclean, I would hit it head on.

The stairs are not long, the footsteps are getting closer and closer, and soon they are approaching the corner.

I also quietly straightened my body, raised my hand half a foot, and was ready to deal with it.

First, half of his body leaned out from the corner, and then, a face turned around the corner and met my gaze.

"Ah" screamed, and then Xu Duobao was seen screaming and rolling down the stairs.

A few minutes later, I took safflower oil and rubbed the medicated oil on his bruised area while Xu Duobao grinned and screamed in pain.

"Hey, be gentle, be gentle, it hurts!" Xu Duobao shouted.

I was so angry and funny that I deliberately tightened my grip on my hands and said, "Who asked you to follow me sneakily? When I asked you before, you said you would stay in the living room on the first floor. You said you

Are you looking for punishment?"

"Hey, be gentle," Xu Duobao cried out in pain again. Hearing my words, he said with a bitter look on his face, "Isn't it that I care about you? When you walked up, there was no sound at all. I was worried about you.

If you encounter a situation that you can't handle, I can help you, but who knows you are hiding behind the corner to scare me."

"Hey, you have a tough mouth. You kid is obviously scared, that's why you want to find me on the second floor!" As I said that, I applied a little more force to my hand that was wiping the medicinal wine.

Xu Duobao's cries of pain suddenly became more passionate.

After all this tossing, a long time passed. As soon as I applied the medicated oil on Xu Duobao's back, I heard the sound of a key being inserted into the hole at the front door.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yaxian and Ren Yonghai walked in, talking and laughing.

Xu Duobao, who was lying on the sofa and groaning, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He didn't even bother to shout that he was in pain. He turned to look at me, pointed at the two people walking over, and said, "What is this? You

Why are you two back?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Yaxian looked at Xu Duobao, who was lying on the sofa with bruises all over his body, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Second uncle, what did you do?"

Xu Duobao grimaced and sighed: "Hey, forget it, I accidentally fell while walking."

"You can fall like this while walking? Second uncle, did you fight with someone?" Xu Yaxian walked to the edge of the sofa, looked at Xu Duobao's injury and said, "Lin Kun, why didn't you help my second uncle?

Beat him like this!"

In fact, Xu Duobao's injuries were not serious. It was just that when he rolled down, his whole body was bumped in many places and there were a lot of bruises. After applying safflower oil, his whole body looked a little bruised.

"It's not my fault. Your second uncle didn't fight with anyone. He rolled down the stairs." I didn't want to take the blame for Xu Duobao. I told Xu Yaxian the truth truthfully.

Xu Yaxian was speechless after learning the facts. Xu Duobao was so embarrassed that he simply buried his head on the sofa.

At this time, Ren Yonghai also came over and laughed a little when he saw this situation.

"Old Ren, what are you two doing? I don't think there is anyone at home, so we are worrying for nothing!"

"Don't mention it. I saw that Officer Ren came all the way to Xi'an. I didn't have much food to entertain people at home, so I took him out for a meal." Xu Yaxian replied.

"How long does it take to eat?" I looked at my watch, "It's almost eleven o'clock."

"Guanyaxian was still stuck in the shadows of the day, so I took her to watch a comedy movie after dinner." Ren Yonghai explained.

According to Ren Yonghai, watching movies is actually the second best. The key is that there are many people in public places, which can arouse Xu Yaxian's mood, so don't worry so much. As for the light bulbs on the second floor, it is because the LED lights are too cold, so Ren Yonghai

I replaced it with a warm-toned incandescent lamp.

"Hey, co-writing is just a false alarm."

Afterwards, a few of us sat in the study room on the second floor

Come down. Although what happened in the store was a false alarm, the impact on both Xu Yaxian and Xu Duobao throughout the whole day was indeed considerable.

Different from the last time there was no near miss in the ancient tomb, this time, so many people actually died. The faces of several people present, including me, were not very good at this moment.

"Old Ren, can you find out the origin of that pattern?"

"Let's wait for the news." Ren Yonghai said, "After all, it was painted by a child, so I can't guarantee that I can find it."

"Lin Kun, is there any way to deal with that zombie?" Xu Yaxian was obviously still a little frightened by what happened during the day.

"This thing is not a zombie. If it were a zombie, it would be easy to deal with. This thing is quite special. It is different from the rice dumplings we encountered in the ancient tomb last time. It is made using a secret method. I don't know how to deal with it yet.

."

"Ah? I can't even deal with you?" After the adventure in Heiyun Village, Xu Yaxian still agrees with me now. At least in this aspect, she must believe what I said.

"It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. Things will always turn around."

So everyone went back to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ren Yonghai gave me good news. In the evening, Ren Yonghai came to me in a hurry and said, "Lin Kun, the pattern is confirmed to be the company's trademark, and the company has been found."

"Drink some water now and speak slowly."

"Okay!" Ren Yonghai picked up the tea cup and took a sip before saying: "This company is called Yunhai International Trading Co., Ltd. It mainly engages in import and export trade. Its business scope involves clothing, leather bags, household items and other civilian markets. The legal person is called

Yun Baohua, I checked his background and there is nothing suspicious."

"You went to that company to inquire about it this afternoon. Did you find anything unusual?"

"Nothing was found," Ren Yonghai shook his head and continued, "On the surface, it looks like a very formal trading company, with a large business volume and an annual profit and tax of more than 50 million."

"Their company's office building in the city center, I took a look in the afternoon, there are quite a lot of employees, all white-collar workers."

After listening to Ren Yonghai's words, I rubbed my chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's normal for them to act like a regular company. After all, they are the stronghold of a transnational smuggling group in the country. The legal business of this company must be able to withstand investigation. As long as

But they also run some shady underground businesses."

"The situation you mentioned is not impossible. However, although we have found Zhang Weidu's upline, in this situation, it seems that it is difficult to find clues through this company."

"Old Ren, you are wrong. We are not checking the company's accounts. Whether their business appears to be legal or not has no impact on us at all."

"Then what should we do?"

"There must be something wrong with this company, but you can't tell the secrets just by looking at the files." I took a sip of tea and continued, "You went at the wrong time. Let's go there again tonight."

After having dinner together, we did not set off immediately. We waited until almost midnight before heading to Yunhai International Trading Company.

Under the moonlight, Xi'an CBD is brightly lit. Skyscrapers stand next to each other, showing off their ambition to compete with the gods.

"This is the building." Ren Yonghai pointed to one of the tall buildings, "The building is not new, but every floor has been rented out."

The strange thing is that the lights in the guard room are dark and there is no one on duty inside.

I poked Ren Yonghai's waist and asked in a low voice: "When you came in the afternoon, was there anyone at the door?"

"Yes." Ren Yonghai looked up at the guard room, then at the office building, and then said, "When I came in the afternoon, there were two security guards on duty at the guard's side. They had to register when I entered.
