Manor Romance

Chapter 50 Inquiry
At this time, Yunli was sitting in the plane pointed by Aunt Fang, and was about to rush back to Xiaolu Mountain.Half an hour ago, he was sitting with Aunt Fang in the seat outside the passenger aisle, waiting for Lily to appear, but just when he saw a flight to the southwest on the big screen in the hall, he changed his mind temporarily and bought it immediately. I got the ticket, went through the check-in procedures quickly, and boarded the plane.

The previous call was from Shen Hong, she told Yunli that Lu Ci's house was demolished this morning, fortunately Lu Ci was not at home at the time and was not injured, but she also had no shelter.Shen Hong searched for her for a long time, but she didn't see anyone, and she didn't go to the wholesale store. In desperation, she thought of calling Yunli.

During the phone call, Shen Hong explained the cause and effect of the incident, but simply explained that it was demolished by the people from the town's construction office, saying that Lu Ci's house was a dilapidated house.After the house was demolished, Lu Ci packed up some baggage and left. As for where she went, she didn't know. She also heard these from nearby people. When she arrived, Lu Ci was already gone.

Apart from Yunli and Shen Hong, Lu Ci didn't even have any friends here, plus he was a black householder, without an ID card, so it was inconvenient to go anywhere, plus he didn't have a phone call, which was really worrying.There were only a few places that Lu Ci could go, but Shen Hong went all over and couldn't find them, worried that something might happen to her, even though she knew Yun Li was out, she still called to report the situation.

After the two had a conflict that time, they hadn't seen each other again, and it had been almost three months since now, Yun Li had been deliberately not thinking about that incident, let alone hearing anything related to Lu Ci.He thought he had already forgotten her, even when he first heard the news, he told himself that this was her own choice, so don't meddle in her own business anymore.

The more he wanted to escape, the more lingering was Lu Ci's voice. After struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind to catch this flight.Outside the window, the white clouds are churning and the water vapor is condensing. Under the sunlight, many colorful halos are reflected, which makes people fascinated.

The entire flight took less than two hours, but there were too many boarding and disembarking procedures, which took a lot of time. As soon as Yunli left the airport, he immediately took a taxi and returned. When he returned to Luzhen, the sun was almost sinking to the western horizon. It was already past six in the afternoon.

Yunli rushed to Lu Ci's house immediately. As Shen Hong said, the small bungalow had been demolished, and there was only a pile of broken stones and rotten bricks on the scene. The small yard full of vegetables in the past was no longer the same as it used to be.

Back at Xiaolu Mountain, Shen Hong had already been waiting at the intersection. When she saw Yunli appearing, she seemed to have found the backbone. She immediately went forward and explained the whole story in detail.

The cause of the matter still has to start with the hail disaster.After that incident, the county sent an inspection team to the countryside to understand the disaster situation. In the inspection report, in addition to the damage caused by the hail, it also mentioned some dilapidated buildings in the village.

Linshan County is planning to participate in the selection of civilized counties and districts in the country. It just takes this opportunity to renovate dilapidated buildings and do a good job in face-saving projects. When the leaders come to inspect, the impression will be better, so every town below has received indicators , How many dilapidated buildings will be demolished.

People’s houses, even if they are dilapidated, you can’t just demolish them, so the town has made an assessment, starting with those with low cost, subsidizing those that can be subsidized, and making up for those who are willing to relocate.And like Lu Ci's family, it is a black household, the owner of the house and land has passed away, and there is no heir, so it should be owned by the village collective, so it became the first batch of targets to be demolished.

More than ten days ago, the town sent a notice to Lu Ci, telling her to move out as soon as possible, but Lu Ci had nowhere to go at all, and could only walk around. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out in the morning, his home would become a ruins.

"Didn't she go to the wholesale store today?" Yun Li asked after sorting out her thoughts.

Shen Hong shook her head, but quickly nodded again, and hurriedly said: "I heard from the people in the store that I seemed to have seen her nearby at noon, but at that time everyone was eating at a food stall outside, so I didn't see her clearly, and then I kept on seeing her." I haven't seen her, and I only found out about it when I went back to work at noon."

"If the store opens for business, there must be someone there all the time. Who is watching the store during lunch time?" Yun Li's thinking was very clear, and he grasped the key point of the problem at once.

"Oh, I went out to find someone, but I didn't ask clearly. I'll go back and ask again. The shop didn't close so early. I'm such a clumsy person." Shen Hong patted her thigh heavily and blamed herself road.

"Give me the key, and I'll go with you." Yun Li asked Shen Hong for the key to her women's motorcycle, skillfully got on the car and started it, and drove Shen Hong towards the town.The sun had dipped below the horizon, the sky was dark, and night was coming.

Whenever there is an income, the first thing Lu Ci does is to go to the savings bank to deposit the money to pay off the debts. Apart from leaving some small money for daily necessities, she has no savings, so there is no need to consider that she will stay in a hotel or something, because She couldn't afford it at all, and with her character, she wouldn't be willing to.

Besides, Lu Ci is a stubborn person, and she would never ask for help unless she had to. Since she didn't come to find herself or Shen Hong, if she really wanted to ask for help, it could only be someone from the wholesale store. , and the biggest possibility is the proprietress in the shop.

Yun left very quickly, and Shen Hong's car was too old, and the accelerator handle was turned to the end, which seemed to be unable to satisfy Yunli's eagerness, but he was very focused, and the car drove fast and smoothly, Shen Hong sat in the back After being nervous for a while, I got used to it.

Yunli's thinking is very clear, and he doesn't have any random thoughts. The only task now is to find Lu Ci himself, and everything else will wait until he finds her.

When I came to the wholesale store, there was only a young guy inside, who was lying on the long table playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Yunli and the two rushing in, he was so scared that he jumped up from the stool, almost giving away his mobile phone. fell.

"Xiao Ming, why are you the only one, where is the proprietress?" Panting, Shen Hong grabbed the young man's hand and asked anxiously.

"Da, Da Shen, old, the proprietress went back to her mother's house early this morning." The young man named Xiao Ming was obviously frightened, and replied while patting his chest, even stuttering.

"Then what about the boss, why isn't he here, so he's going to deliver the goods?" Shen Hong frowned and asked, the shop was small and could be seen at a glance, Xiao Ming was the only one in the shop.

"Boss... The boss wasn't there all afternoon. He didn't know where he was. He just called me in the afternoon and asked me to keep an eye on the store at night, but he didn't say when he would come back." Xiao Ming shook the phone in his hand and said to Shen Hong. explained.

"Did Ah Ci come to the store at noon?" Shen Hong continued to ask.

"Didn't you ask before, we were eating at the intersection and didn't pay much attention, but it seems that a person riding a bicycle came by, so I can't be sure if it's Ah Ci." Shen Hong also asked before Xiao Ming had no choice but to repeat the same words.

"At noon, who stayed here to look after the store?" Seeing that Shen Hong couldn't ask anything, Yun Li went forward and said coldly.

"Ping, the boss's wife is usually there, today, today is... yes! Today is the boss!" Xiao Ming was shocked by Yunli's cold air, and his heart, which had just calmed down, started beating rapidly again, and his stuttering became more serious .

"Call him." Yun Li said in a commanding tone.

Shen Hong was the first to react, and immediately took out her phone to call the owner of the wholesale store, but the other party's phone indicated that it was turned off.

"This grandma's broken phone, I should have thrown you away at me long ago, you call." The phone couldn't be reached, Shen Hong was so anxious that she even cursed, and asked Xiao Ming to call, but the result was still unreliable. The same one.

"There's no reason. The boss usually sleeps without turning off his mobile phone. Sometimes business will come to his door in the middle of the night. Could it be that the mobile phone is out of battery?" Xiao Ming asked suspiciously.

"If Ah Ci is really with the boss, it would be terrible. That old pervert usually likes hands and feet, and the boss's wife is not around. Let's go to his house to find out. If he dares to do something to Ah Ci, I'll knock his bald head off." Shen Hong cursed angrily.

"Don't say it so loudly, be careful of being... ah, I remembered, just the night before yesterday, Ah Ci was on the night shift, and the boss pestered her, telling her to introduce her to a job as a waiter in a guest house. I just came back that night Just pick up the car and hear it." Xiao Mingben wanted to remind Shen Hong to keep her voice down, but suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said it to the two of them, the voice was louder than Shen Hong's.

"Waiter? It can't be his fat cousin's hotel, or else?" Shen Hong asked in surprise.

"Go to his house first, and then go to the hotel to have a look." Yun Li listened carefully to the conversation between the two, and soon came up with a plan. After speaking, he turned around and walked out quickly.

"If you have any news here, call me immediately." After Shen Hong left a sentence, she immediately followed, and the two set off on the road to find Lu Ci again.

As expected, the doors and windows of the boss's house were locked and there was no one there, but Yun Li had sharp eyes and found Lu Ci's old bicycle in the alley downstairs. hotel.

The hotel opened in a neighboring town, quite a distance away from Lu Town. Fortunately, Shen Hong knew the way and was also familiar with the surrounding environment, so the two took the shortcut and moved forward at full speed.On the way, Shen Hong also told Yun Li about the situation of the owner of the wholesale store and his fat cousin.

The owner of the wholesale store is not very capable, and he is a strict wife. Although he is lustful, he usually has a wicked wife by his side, so he is quite restrained. In fact, Yunli has seen him once, that time when he went to the wholesale store to find Lu Ci, at the door. The bald driver I met.As for his cousin who runs a hotel, it's not that simple. Not only does he run a hotel, but he also has other businesses in the town, which are quite powerful.
