Chapter 1814 Hodor's Secret

I was still minding what happened just now. I was so close to Adu just now, but why didn’t I feel the yin energy?

It is impossible to say that there is no ghost in this matter, but what level of ghost can appear under my nose, but there is no trace of Yin Qi leaking?

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Is this matter not possible? If it can't be solved, we'd better run away. Then He Chengda doesn't seem easy to mess with. Don't cheat us in." Li Mazi hurriedly packed his luggage, as if he was about to run away overnight.

I pressed my temples and stopped him with a headache.

Isn’t this person stupid? Not to mention whether He Chengda is easy to mess with, we just say that we have taken on this business and still want to get stuck in the circle after running away.

Li Mazi asked me with a bitter face. I told him with a funny look that it was a bit strange, and how could he say something frustrated at the beginning?

"Then you said it a long time ago!" Li Mazi threw half of his bag on the bed: "Whoever saw you thought it was difficult."

I didn't refute it either. I was really worried when talking about this, so I talked to Li Mazi. After hearing this, he stared at him like a copper bell, and suspected that I was lying to him.

"What's the benefit of lying to you with this!" I glared at him angrily, lifted the quilt and lay down. There were those talismans that Adu shouldn't have any more trouble tonight, so I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Li Mazi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak for a long time, and finally lay down dejectedly.

It was almost dawn after such a tossing, so we only slept for two or three hours before getting up. Wuping came over and asked us what plans we had today? I pondered for a while and told him that we had to understand what happened before Adu's accident.

"I'm afraid it's useless." Wu Ping frowned: "I asked yesterday. Although Adu has been doing business here for five or six years, he seems to have no contact with people except for business accidents. The few we met in the restaurant yesterday are his only friends."

I felt strange after hearing his words. Logically speaking, this kind of small vendor should be the easiest to get along with others, especially when he is doing a business with acquaintances, so why do he do it like a new resident?

Wu Ping obviously felt that things were strange, so he thought for a while and decided to ask from other channels!

I also have a clear idea of ​​what the channels he was talking about, and I knew it was difficult for me to follow, so before he could speak, I took the initiative to divide the troops into two groups and I would go to the nearby people to find out, maybe there were some omissions.

"That's it. No matter if there are any useful clues, we will meet each other at noon, so we can know what to do next." Wu Ping quickly summarized and then went out.

I noticed that He Chengda was not with him, but he didn't seem to be in the room. I felt a little strange for a moment, but I didn't go into it in depth. It is normal for them to do things mysteriously and secretly, so it's best not to inquire.

I found a breakfast stall nearby and had breakfast casually. Li Mazi and I started walking around in rows of farmhouses.

Of course, before I visited, I called Adu and asked him to pretend that he didn't know us when he saw us, so that we could do things. Although he found it strange, he didn't say anything when I said that this was for his safety.

"What can I get by just walking around like this?" Li Mazi pulled a willow branch and waved it in his hand, sweating on his forehead.

This is how spring is, the weather changes unchanged. It was not that the weather was neither cold nor hot yesterday. Today it was 27 or 8 degrees, which made me want to wear short-sleeved sleeves.

"Let's go for a walk first." I didn't explain much, so I kept looking for a seating area.

Such a large farmer's house usually has several simple seating areas, either with a few chairs or some fitness equipment. People who live here for a long time, especially those who are older, like to gather in such places.

Most of them are landlords of farmhouses. They live from rent, so they don’t have to do anything, so they like to spend time in these places. These people are generally more likely to chat with, and they are not as cautious as young people. It is best to inquire about things.

Li Mazi obviously also saw my intention, and swept my eyes while walking. After a while, he excitedly pulled me and pointed at a distance and said, "Look, are there a few old men playing chess?"

Looking in the direction he pointed, you could indeed see a few old men gathered in a pavilion.

"Let's go!" I pulled Li Mazi and ran over quickly. When I arrived at the place, I pretended to be interested in playing chess, and stood aside and watched with relish.

Because it was playing chess, even if there were seven or eight people standing here, there was no sound. They all watched the two sides patiently go back and forth. Occasionally, when the chess player was playing chess inconsistent with their own ideas, they would slapped their thighs and sigh, as if such a pity had happened.

When we came, the game was almost done, so it ended before long. The old man who won was proud, while the loser said he wanted to have another game.

At this time, one of the gray-haired old men noticed us and asked with a smile how we thought the chess game just now was like?

I also smiled and said a few casually, with the point being to help the loser talk. This naturally aroused their interest. As we chatted, we started and quickly brought the topic to Adou.

"Yesterday we came to play with friends. We originally wanted to eat hot pot at that beef restaurant, but their family only sold raw ones. These days, we really don't even do business..." I sighed with regret.

Who knew that as soon as I finished speaking, seven or eight old men were silent for a while, and after a while, they all said that Aduo had to take care of his family, so he did business like this, and he could make money and not be busy.

Li Mazi and I looked at each other. It seemed that there was indeed a problem with Adu. Although they were silent for a short time just now, they seemed to be a little unwilling to talk about this topic.

Sure enough, after saying this, the old man waved his hand and continued playing chess. A group of people hurriedly arranged the chessboard and stopped talking.

I knew I couldn't ask anything, so I left the pavilion with Li Mazi and walked towards Adu's beef and mutton restaurant.

"Those people were obviously not right just now. There was something Aduo hiding from us!" Li Mazi said angrily.

I didn't say anything, but just stood not far from the beef and mutton restaurant and looked at Adu with a smile on his face, taking out the beef from the refrigerator for the customer who came to pick up the goods.

What surprised me was that these customers had little communication with Aduo, but judging from their pick-up and payment, they obviously did not do business for the first time.

Ador obviously saw me, but he didn't say hello when I told him, but just buried himself in business.

I walked around the neighborhood again, thinking about a lot of methods, but the one I found out was no different from Wu Ping. These people either changed the topic or expressed their unfamiliarity when talking about Adu, which made me feel very frustrated!

Seeing noon, I remembered Wu Ping's words and didn't stay outside for too long. I called Wu Ping and said that I would take lunch back. So I went to the restaurant next to Li Mazi and ordered a few dishes.

"Hey, boss, you also got the beef from Ador, right?" I was a little surprised when I swept through the refrigerator where the dishes were stored.

The boss glanced at me and seemed to have no interest in speaking, but he nodded when he saw me staring at the beef: "Most of the small restaurants nearby take beef from Ador."

It turns out that Aduo’s business is doing very well. It’s fine if ordinary customers can’t tell it. Can’t these masters who often deal with ingredients see that there is something wrong with the beef?

I can guarantee that a small piece of beef in the refrigerator is not fresh enough, but I didn't say that, otherwise the boss would probably blow me out.

But I ordered an extra beef soup. I originally wanted to order braised, but when I thought that braised the most easily concealed the fact that beef was not fresh, I changed the soup.

The boss moved quickly and packed all the dishes I wanted in about twenty minutes. Li Mazi and I took the food back to the hotel.

Wu Ping has already returned. He stood at the door of our room and seemed to be about to call me, but when he saw us, he raised his hand.

I found that his face was not very good, and I probably didn't find anything from other channels.

"Eat first." I raised the food in my hand.

The three of them sat down, and I asked curiously where He Chengda went, and Wu Ping's face became even worse.

I was stunned. Could something have happened?

Before I could ask Wu Ping, I asked me what progress was going on. I shook my head: "It must be a bit strange to see that Adu must be a bit strange, but what is it? Is it hard to say if it has anything to do with his whipping? Where are you?"

"Absolutely." Wu Ping shook his head, scooped a bowl of soup casually and said with a strange look on his face: "Mr. Zhang, this soup..."

"You don't think it's new, right?" I saw that he was not easy to say, so I said it first, and said it by the way Aduo's behavior of selling new and old beef together: "Look, you can find out after taking a sip, why do the owners of those small restaurants still buy these defective products?"

Wu Ping didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It must be because it's cheap."

I slapped my head when I heard him say this. Because Ado is related to Yin Ling, I think everything is related to Yin Ling. It seems that I really think too much. In Shangyan Shang, the owners of these small restaurants may not use good ingredients in everything.

As soon as I was about to say something, Wu Ping's cell phone rang. He looked at the phone and went to the bathroom to take the phone. Because he lowered the sound for a while, we couldn't hear it either. It was just that when he came out, he had a dark face and held the phone as if he was thinking about what to do.
