"I don't know this..." Lan Hua shook his head and said, "After Manager Xu answered the phone, he looked very nervous. After quickly explaining a few words to us, he left in a hurry. He heard the sound on the other end of the phone that seemed to be a woman."

"Female?" My eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yeah." Lan Hua replied.

This is strange. The reason why I arranged Qin Mengmeng to Xu Er with confidence was because this guy is not only a fool, but also has no interest in men and women. He has never heard of him having any girlfriends. Why did he leave in such a hurry after answering a woman's call?

"Then how did he come back?"

"I took a taxi." Lan Hua said: "At that time, his mobile phone was out of power and he forgot his wallet in the store. I still paid the fare for the advance payment."

"How much?"

"57 yuan."

"Big shopkeeper, shopkeeper Xu...what is wrong with him?" When Lan Hua heard my question so carefully, he seemed to notice something and asked carefully.

"It's nothing, you go back first." I waved.

"Yes!" Lan Hua bowed to me, then turned around and left.

That's right!

The 57-yuan fare takes about 40 to 50 minutes during the rush hour.

This is basically consistent with the time when Lawen returned from the place where she hid the white paper fan. She probably returned in Xu Er's taxi.

However, although I don’t have much contact with Xu Er, I know him very well.

He is very brave and he is completely unaware of it from beginning to end. Otherwise, with his emotional intelligence and scheming, I could tell at a glance.

At that time, Raven was probably hiding under the car and following him back.

So, she also called the phone call that called him out.

But what makes Xu Er so anxious?

"Oh! Yes! It's his mother."

Xu Er has been working diligently for so many years and never left during working hours. Only his mother can make him so hurry back. It took more than 40 minutes to get home. Last time, Li Mazi and I asked Lao Bai to drink. Lao Bai came after a long time. When he asked, he said that there were some calligraphy and paintings that could not distinguish between real and fake, and he had just returned from Xu Er's house.

Raven may have tricked him back in the name of her mother, just to return again in his car.

So how did she leave after stealing the white paper fan?

I thought about it while walking back.

I just arrived at the store and figured it out.

It was an ambulance! She left in an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital for about 15 minutes. During this period, she hid the white paper fan, and then lied to Xu Er to go home and followed him back.

So, the place where the white paper fan is hidden is between the hospital and Xu Er’s house!

I went back to the backyard and looked at Ye Suling. The little guy was still sleeping soundly.

Although she is a child, she is much more courageous than most adults. Even if I wake up and don’t notice me, I won’t yell in fear. So I walked out quietly, carried the door with my backhand, took a taxi, and went straight to the hospital.

I first went to the front desk to ask where were the two swelling patients who were sent in the afternoon?

As soon as I walked into the inpatient department, I met a guy in the corridor who stayed to take care of He Fu and Qin Mengmeng.

Asked how they were, the young man said, "Big shopkeeper, don't worry, they are fine. They just finished the sip, and now they are asleep."

I took out a thousand dollars and handed it to him and said, "It's been hard for you to accompany you here, so buy more delicious food."

Since they were both asleep, I wouldn't go in and check in. The most important thing now is to find a white paper fan!

After leaving the hospital, I called Boss Bai and asked about the location of Xu Er's family.

Following the direction he pointed out, he walked for dozens of minutes and arrived at Xu Er's house.

This is an old residential building, not even a property guard.

I bought some fruits and supplements in the supermarket on the street and went upstairs.

On the fourth floor of Unit 2, on the right, there are piles of broken cardboard boxes and half a bag of plastic bottles in front of Xu Er’s house.

I knocked on the door lightly.

"Who?" A voice that was both old and tired came from inside.

Then, there was another sound of rubbing against the ground.

After several minutes, a small gap was opened.

A wrinkled face appeared: "Who are you looking for?"

"Is this Xu Ran's home?" I asked.

"Yes." The old lady nodded.

"Oh, auntie, I am his colleague. I heard that he feels a little uncomfortable, so I'll come and see him." As I said that, I handed over the gift.

The old lady glanced at the gift I was holding in her hand, relaxed her vigilance, opened the door, and complained in a false way: "You kid, come here, why are you buying things? Second son fell asleep, I'll call him now."

"No need, auntie, I'll go in and sit and leave." I said.

The old lady was obviously stunned when she heard this - according to common sense, when people said they fell asleep, I shouldn't have said: 'Then it's not trouble, I'll come again another day.' Why do you still have to go in and sit down?

But she was just stunned and then opened the door: "Please please in there, sit down first, I'll pour you tea."

Only then did I realize that her left foot seemed a little inflexible, she didn't dare to step on the ground, and she had to hold the wall with both hands.

The sound of dragging the ground just now was also caused by this.

However, it is not flexible, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal. There is no painful expression on her face, it should be a sprained ankle or something.

"Auntie, be careful." I sat down in the living room as I said.

The old lady turned her head and looked at me. The expression on her face was very strange. She might be thinking: Why is this person so ignorant? Since I can see that I have not good legs and feet, I still stopped me and said, "Don't you have to worry about it anymore." Do you still have to drink this sip of tea?

In fact, I want to take this time to carefully check whether there is yin energy in the room.

I thought about it on the way from the hospital.

Judging from the Ussuri River incident, Lina is extremely meticulous and will never make any useless measures.

This white paper fan seems simple, and the ghost living inside is not very ferocious, but she must have another intention!

If she had someone handed the paper fan directly into my hands, I would naturally find out the problem at a glance. If this thing was sent to other stores, other shop owners might not have the eyesight and would not be able to detect the preciousness of the paper fan, and would not have accepted it at all.

Only Xu Er is the most suitable candidate. He can not only see the preciousness of the paper fan, but also cannot tell whether this thing is a sinister object.

And it was also said that Rawen borrowed Xu Er's mother from him to lead him home, and then followed Xu Er's car back.

They must have done enough homework for Xu Er in advance.

For example, if you know that he is a filial son, if something happens to his mother, you will definitely come back.

He is also very serious about work. When he sees his mother is fine, he will definitely return before closing the door.

So, is it possible that this white paper fan is hidden in Xu Er's house?

While Aunt Xu was not paying attention, I pinched my fingers and tested it. There was no fluctuation of Yin Qi in the room. It can be seen that the white paper fan was not here.

Aunt Xu's foot was obviously sprained tonight, which must be part of Lina's plan. I must not miss any clues.

I pretended to be nothing, and sat around the living room and looked around.

Opposite the shabby sofa, there is a pair of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painted by Xu Er himself, and a broken bookcase with paint falling off against the wall, all of which are full of books about the study of ancient paintings.

The whole room was filled with old furniture from more than 20 years ago, which was both dilapidated and shabby.

Xu Er is a shopkeeper in Shufangzhai, and he earns less than tens of millions of dollars every year. Not to mention the labor fees for helping people to appraise calligraphy and paintings in private, the salary and bonus alone are hundreds of thousands. Why do you live so poorly?

After a while, Aunt Xu lit up her feet and placed the teacup in front of me.

"Auntie, as far as I know, Xu Ran makes a lot of money, but why are you living so hard these days? Are there any difficulties?" I asked straight to the point.

Aunt Xu was stunned again, maybe thinking: What's going on with this person? How could he say that?

But given the gift, I can't just drive me out, right?
