Shu watched the sunlight streaming in from the window. The sunlight shone on his face, but it was no longer warm because it was already dusk.
Today he received three guests.
One of the guests was a certain lady whom he met at a dinner party at Du Wenqiang's house a few days ago. She was a member of Meng Linghui's best friend group.
Shu Guan was still lamenting a few days ago about how none of the ladies and ladies who had promised to come to see him for their fortune-telling showed up.
Sure enough, the words of beautiful women are not trustworthy, especially beautiful and rich women.
But in fact, sometimes they don't necessarily break the contract intentionally, it's just that their lives are too rich and it is difficult for them to have time to fulfill the promises they made casually.
They don't really care about a person or a thing. Maybe at a certain time, a certain person or a thing gave her enough stimulation to make her a little interested, but otherwise Soon, there will be another exciting enough thing or person to attract her interest.
So if there is a very rich and beautiful woman, after making an agreement with you, she will still remember this agreement and come to you after a while, then there are only two possibilities, one is that you can make her Get enough benefits, one is that she might really like you enough.
For example, the lady named Feng Susu who came to see Shuguan today, it can be seen that she likes Shuguan very much.
Shu Guan vaguely remembered that when Meng Linghui introduced her best friend, she said that this woman was a widow. Her original husband was one of the business leaders in Shanghai. After his death before the third grade, he left her a huge amount of wealth. , and she herself also comes from a famous family, and her family background is not inferior to that of her husband.
Such a widow, who is also very young and beautiful, has countless men pursuing her in Shanghai's upper class society.
And this Feng Susu came to Shuguan's Zoning Pavilion today. She said she was looking for Shu to watch her photo, but on the contrary, it was more like she came to give Shu a picture. Her pair of wonderful eyes almost never left Shu Guan's face, and she sat down in the Zoning Pavilion. For several hours.
Of course, this top lady from Shanghai's upper class would not directly show excessive enthusiasm for Shu Guan like other superficial and dissolute women. Her speech was reserved and graceful, and she only talked about Shanghai. It was only when he finally left that he seemed to inadvertently ask Shu Guan if he had time in the evening, and wanted to invite Shu Guan to have dinner with him.
Shu Guan said apologetically that he really had something to do tonight.
Feng Susu didn't say anything more. She just took out a pen and paper and wrote an address on the paper, as well as her home phone number, saying that if Shu Guan changed her mind, she could call her at any time, or she could go directly to the address. Find her at the restaurant where she will dine tonight.
Finally, the noble lady left a five hundred silver dollar note as a fortune teller for the fortune teller.
Of course, the five hundred silver dollars can also be regarded as money for Shu Guan to chat with her for several hours. After all, it was obvious to her that the purpose of coming to Shu Guan was not to read faces, so she casually asked a very common thing. .
However, Shu Guan was very serious in helping her settle the matter, so Shu Guan accepted the five hundred silver dollars with peace of mind.
But when Feng Susu put the banknote in front of Shu Guan, there was something profound in her eyes. A delicate jade hand fell on the banknote and did not take it back for a long time.
Shu Guan pretended not to understand that look, and did not even touch the jade hand that he clearly wanted him to shake. He stood up with a smile and sent the noble lady named Feng Susu to the door.
After turning around, he threw the banknote into the iron box under the table. As for the note with Feng Susu's phone number and the address of the restaurant where he was invited to have dinner today, Shu Guan just put it away casually. In the corner of the table.
He had no intention of going to the appointment.
Soon after, a second guest came to the horse racing hall.
The second guest is a neighbor who lives in Duolun Lane. She is an old woman who lives at the end of the lane. Her cat was lost this morning, because now the neighbors who live in Duolun Lane already know that house. Mr. Shu Xingyun Shu from Zouma Guan was quite accurate in fortune telling, so the old woman named Yu came to Shu Guan for help.
Shu Guan went to the house of the old woman surnamed Yu and made some comments in the cat's nest. Then he personally ran to a trash can two streets away and removed the cat from the trash can before the old woman surnamed Yu left. He took it out of the bucket and sent it back to the home of the old woman surnamed Yu.
In the end, he received fifty cents from the old woman named Yu.
It's also about making money from women. Shu Guan feels that the effort and the reward are really not proportional at all, as long as it's about appearance.
As for the third guest, it was Qian Jing'an who lived opposite the Zouma Pavilion.
Qian Jing'an came here around two o'clock in the afternoon, carrying a briefcase and walking in from the alley. It looked like he had been to school today, but he just came out early.
He came out within two minutes of entering the house. It seemed that he just went home to put his bag, and then went into the horse racing stable.
Of course, he didn't come to see fortune tellers, but just came to rub those few bronze coins.
After entering the horse racing hall, Qian Jing'an smiled at Shu Guan, and then he picked up the few bronze coins on the table and started playing with them without any politeness.
Qian Jing'an sat there for more than two hours, until his wife opened the door and called him home for dinner, then he reluctantly put down the bronze coins and went home with his hands behind his back.
One afternoon, Shu Guan didn't make a dime from Qian Jing'an, but the old man played with his money and drank a few cups of tea.
So his income today totals 505 cents silver dollars.
Of course, most people in Shanghai cannot earn this amount in a year.
Shu Guan raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost five o'clock, and the door would be closed in a few minutes.
But he did have something to do tonight, and he wasn't just trying to deal with Feng Susu casually.
Tonight he was going to Runling Hall to see if the girl with the superb figure had found out what kind of elixir poisoned Zhang Hushan.
Du Wenqiang's people are also carefully checking the houses with house numbers starting with "7" on Xiafei Road, but this is a big project and there will be no results in a while.
So for now, whether we can continue to trace GLH Company depends on what kind of clues the girl from Runlingtang can get from Zhang Hushan's body.
However, just when Shu Guan was about to get up and close the door of the horse racing hall, another figure walked in from outside.
Looking at the person walking in, Shu Guan was slightly startled.
...What is he here for?
Shu Guan thought so in his heart, and then slowly sat back in the chair.
Ouyang Hai walked to the long table and sat down. He didn't have much time to waste, so he went straight to the point and said to Shu Guan:
"I want to ask you to do a little favor."
Shu Guan made a sound and asked:
"What's the deal?"
"I want to ask you to help me kill someone, a practitioner. Don't worry, he is a very weak practitioner. He has not yet completed the Qi-entraining stage. I can kill him with one finger. As for how many fingers you need to use , I don’t know, it shouldn’t be a problem if I don’t think about it.”
Ouyang Hai said in a relaxed tone.
Shu Guan didn't ask him why he didn't do it since he could kill the opponent with one finger, because Ouyang Hai had already told him the reason.
But Shu Guan still asked.
"Why?"
"If you want me to kill someone, you must first tell me why."
"Based on our friendship, I just ask you to kill someone. Do you still need to explain why for such a trivial matter?"
Ouyang Hai stared at Shu Guan with dissatisfaction.
Shu Guan glanced at him and said curiously:
"How come I didn't know that our friendship has become so good?"
Ouyang Hai looked even more angry, but soon he sighed.
"Okay, let me tell you, I am pursuing a girl these days, and today I found that I have a love rival. I want to kill that love rival..."
"To be honest, my predictions are very accurate."
Shu Guan calmly interrupted Ouyang Hai who was making up a story.
So Ouyang Hai stared at Shu Guan again for a while, then sighed deeply again and said:
"There is a traitor on the side I really work for. I must kill that traitor tonight, otherwise many people will die tomorrow morning."
"But that traitor is protected by a cultivator, so I can't do anything."
"It's that simple. What I'm telling you is definitely the truth. It's up to you to help me or not!"
Shu Guan pondered for a moment and said:
"One last question."
This is not Shu Guan's shirk. To be honest, he doesn't mind doing Ouyang Hai a favor.
But helping someone you don't know well enough to kill another person is not something you can agree to casually.
Shu Guan at least needs to know whether this favor is worth it.
"Which side do you really work for?"
This is the last question of Shu Guan.
"Shu Guan, if you want to help, you can help. If you don't want to help, don't. How come there are so many boring questions!"
Ouyang Hai gritted his teeth and stared at the young man across the table.
Shu Guan just looked at him calmly and said nothing.
Ouyang Hai stared at Shuguan for more than ten seconds.
During these ten seconds, Ouyang Hai was thinking quickly about a question, that is, besides begging the guy in front of him, did he have any other way to solve today's crisis?
In the end his answer was: no.
Even if the traitor is protected by a cultivator, Ouyang Hai is confident that he can still kill the traitor with the strength of ordinary people under the protection of the cultivator.
But he needs time, wants time to formulate a precise plan and make some complicated arrangements.
Unfortunately, what he lacks most now is time.
The traitor must be killed before tomorrow morning.
So now he had to ask the young man in front of him to help him.
After thinking for more than ten seconds, Ouyang Hai understood that he had no other choice.
Ouyang Hai has always been a very decisive and straightforward person, and he also understands the truth.
Since there is no choice, you can only follow other people's rules.
"Liangzhou."
He said these two words to Shu Guan.
After all, the young man opposite was a practitioner who transcended the mortal world and was from the Seven Immortals Alliance. Such a person would not be too deeply involved in the politics of the secular world.
Therefore, Ouyang Hai believed that telling this young man his identity should not be a big problem.
And his sixth sense, which had never made a mistake, also told him that the young man in front of him was a person he could trust.
When Ouyang Hai said the word Liangzhou, Shu Guan suddenly fell silent.
Of course he knew what these two words meant.
He already knew it very well when he was in Jingcheng, mainly from newspapers.
Although most newspapers have all kinds of slanderous words about Liangzhou, which is located in the barren land of northwest China, and its style of conduct and the way it governs the people are completely different from other places in China, the Central Committee of the Republic of China The government directly defined Liangzhou as a place controlled by rebels and bandits.
But as soon as Shu Guan read those reports, he already understood what kind of place Liangzhou was.
Speaking of which, this world is really very similar to the world in my previous life.
...It turns out that this guy is from over there...
Looking at Ouyang Hai across the table, Shu Guan suddenly felt more friendly inexplicably.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Then Shu Guan smiled and said this to Ouyang Hai.
After all, he was a person who grew up under the red flag in his previous life. Although he was no longer a human being in this life, Shu Guan felt that he should still help the red flag in this world.
Ouyang Hai looked at Shu Guan in surprise. He didn't understand why this guy suddenly became so talkative. He even forgot to be happy for a moment.
Shu Guan raised his head and looked out the window. The sun had already set, leaving only a red glow in the distant sky.
Thinking that we have to go to Runling Hall in the evening, we should hurry up and get rid of Ouyang Hai's affairs first.
"Then let's go!"
Shu Guan stood up with a smile.
Ouyang Hai also said just now that he was just a practitioner who had not perfected the Qi-entraining Stage Zhou Tian Gong. Ouyang Hai said that he could kill the opponent with one finger. Shu Guan didn't know if the other party was bragging. After all, he had never seen it. I have been to Ouyang Hai to show my cultivation level.
As for myself, as a practitioner who has not yet perfected Zhou Tian Gong, I don’t have to lift a finger, just say “yes” and that’s it.
However, he couldn't show his true strength in front of Ouyang Hai. He would take the gun given to him by the fourth senior brother later. Speaking of which, he had never used the pistol even once.
However, after Shu Guan stood up, Ouyang Hai still sat there without moving.
Shu Guan gave him an inquiring look.
Ouyang Hai smiled bitterly and said:
"I don't know where the traitor is now. He is a very cautious person. It took me two days to lock his whereabouts once."
As Ouyang Hai spoke, he took a piece of white paper from the table, picked up a pen, and then wrote a few lines on it.
"This is the traitor's name, as well as his birth date."
He placed the white paper in front of Shu Guan and said to Shu Guan with a smile:
"So you still need to do the math first."
As a practitioner, Ouyang Hai naturally knows what conditions are needed to use the hexagram technique to calculate a person's whereabouts.
He did not have the traitor's personal belongings, but before coming to Shanghai, he carefully read the detailed personal information of every intelligence officer in Shanghai. Photographic memory is the most basic professional quality of an excellent intelligence officer.
Shu glanced at Ouyang Hai, pulled the white paper over, covered the turtle shell with the white paper, and said seriously:
"If you kill someone, I can help you. But if you ask for a divination, you still have to pay for the divination."
Ouyang Hai sighed, and looked awkwardly in his pockets for a long time before taking out a crumpled five-yuan banknote and handing it to Shu Guan.
“This month’s salary has been used up, that’s all I have left.”
Shu Guan took the bank note and threw it into the money box.
Today's income is 505 yuan.
not bad.
Then Shu Guan began to perform the hexagrams, and after a few seconds, the secrets of the hexagrams were revealed.
Shu Guan picked up a pen and wrote an address on the white paper just now.
"That person is here now."
Ouyang Hai glanced at the address on the white paper, then frowned and said:
"I know this place. It's a very high-end private membership club in the Falan Concession. Only their members can enter."
"And if we use Taoism to get in, I'm afraid it will alert the practitioners around the traitor. In addition, I can't use Taoism."
"This matter is really troublesome... It seems that we can only wait outside for the traitor to come out, but we are afraid that the traitor will direct the arrest operation directly in this club..."
While Ouyang Haikou was chattering, Shu Guan had already reached out and picked up another piece of white paper on the corner of the table.
When he was writing the address just now, Shu Guan immediately felt that the address was very familiar, so he quickly took the piece of white paper on which Feng Susu had written the address and phone number in the morning, and looked down at it.
Then Shu Guan's expression became a little weird.
"I'll find a way to take you in."
Then he said this to Ouyang Hai.
"Do you have any idea?"
Ouyang Hai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"...Actually, a friend originally invited me to have dinner there today."
Shu Guan said this with a wry smile, then raised the palm of his left hand and looked down.
Yes, the place where Feng Susu invited her to have dinner was also where the traitor from Ouyang Hai's organization was at this time.
What a coincidence.
But precisely because of this coincidence, Shu Guan suddenly felt some inexplicable touches in his heart.
Things that are too coincidental are often not a good thing.
So he wanted to use a palm sutra to figure out what happened tonight.
After about half a minute, Shu Guanfang put down his palm and raised his head. His expression was quite calm, but he asked Ouyang Hai a question first.
"Must you kill your traitor tonight?"
Ouyang Hai stared at Shu Guan, and his sixth sense told him that the young man opposite was not as calm as he seemed at the moment, which made him realize that something was wrong.
So Ouyang Hai said very carefully:
"That traitor is actually the head of our organization's underground intelligence agency in Shanghai. He will launch a city-wide purge operation early tomorrow morning. If he doesn't die, our entire underground intelligence system in Shanghai will be completely destroyed. , many comrades who are too late to retreat will be arrested, severely tortured, tortured, and killed... Therefore, I must kill that traitor before early morning!"
Ouyang Hai spoke very slowly, with an extremely firm tone in his tone.
...Comrade... I haven’t heard such a title for a long, long time...
Shu Guan's expression became calmer and calmer. He nodded to Ouyang Hai and said:
"I understand, just wait for me."
Then Shu Guan turned around and went up to the second floor.
When Shu Guan went upstairs, he thought that as long as this guy showed up, nothing good would happen.
...I don't even have to do a small favor for him today. If I'm not careful, I might lose my life in that private club...
Therefore, Shu Guan is going to bring all his most powerful and handy weapons.
Two minutes later, Shu Guan came down from the second floor with a big cloth bag in his hand.
"Can we go?"
Ouyang Hai quickly asked anxiously.
"No, we need to find a helper first."
Shu Guan said this and walked straight out the door.
…
Soon after, Shu Guan and Ouyang Hai appeared on the road opposite Yang Ruijun's house.
Shu Guan moved his lips several times at the white bungalow across the road.
Ten minutes later, a beautiful young woman sneaked out of a window of the white bungalow.
Ouyang Hai looked at all this in confusion.
Keep asking for votes.
