Chapter 74 Mysterious Invitation
In front of Sullivan's apartment at night, a black car slowly drove up.After the car stopped, Benjamin jumped out of the car excitedly, looked up at Luo Fei's window on the second floor, and then walked in quickly.Benjamin was going up the stairs when he heard the knock of the door downstairs.Immediately after, Benjamin felt someone rushing up the stairs behind him.When Benjamin turned his head, he passed Xiaoman who was coming up.

"Huh? Xiaoman, it's you."

Facing Benjamin who was saying hello, Xiaoman just tilted his head, and then continued to walk upstairs.

Benjamin looked at Xiaoman's back strangely, and then continued to ask: "Have you also received Luo Fei's invitation? He mysteriously said on the phone that he has something good for me."

Xiaoman still ignored Benjamin.

"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?" Benjamin couldn't help asking.

At this time, the two had already walked between Room 203 and Room 204.Immediately afterwards, Benjamin watched Xiaoman open the door of his apartment, and then closed the door heavily.Benjamin was left alone in the corridor, bewildered.

When Benjamin walked into Room 203, he saw Luo Fei lying casually on the sofa.There was an exquisite cigar box on the coffee table. Seeing him walking in, Luo Fei immediately took out a cigar from the box and handed it to Benjamin.

"Try?"

Benjamin took the cigar and shook his head helplessly: "You smoker, this is the good thing you said? Where did it come from?"

"The reward given to me by the owner of a case is a top-notch product that cannot be bought in China." Luo Fei said as he took out one, brought it to his nose and sniffed it contentedly.

Benjamin held the cigar in one hand and picked up the box in the other to examine it carefully: "ACC made in Cuba..."

At this time, Luo Fei touched the matchbox from the coffee table, and struck two matches all over his body. After the peculiar smell produced by the match heads dissipated, he used the matches to preheat the cigar, and then carefully ignited it. Cigarette butt, took a last soothing puff, showing an expression of enjoyment.

Benjamin looked at Luo Fei: "By the way, I met Qin Xiaoman in the corridor just now. It was like eating gunpowder. Did you offend her again?"

Luo Fei slowly moved the cigar to the top of the ashtray, flicked the ash lightly: "How many people in this world will not offend Qin Xiaoman?"

Benjamin was amused by Luo Fei's ridicule, but then he looked at Luo Fei worriedly: "Yes, yes, last time I—"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and Luo Fei came in.Then Wang Susu, who was wearing a lavender brocade feather gauze cheongsam with a slanted front, swayed her waist and posed at the door.

"Why did Sister Susu come here so late at night?" Luo Fei stared at Wang Susu in a daze, then raised his head and continued to puff.

Wang Susu put away her styling, gave Luo Fei a blank look, and then walked into the house carelessly, scanning both sides as she walked: "What's the matter? You can't come at night? Is Jinwu Zangjiao afraid that I will know?"

"So it's you!" Wang Susu's eyes looking left and right finally fell on Benjamin, with a slightly disappointed expression on his face.

At this time, Benjamin smiled at Wang Susu with some embarrassment.

"What does Sister Su Su want from me?" Luo Fei sat up and asked.

Wang Susu took out an invitation card from her handbag and handed it to Luo Fei.Luo Fei extinguished the cigar, took the invitation card, and opened it to check.

Wang Susu couldn't wait to explain: "Charlie Wang, the famous explorer and rich man, will hold a banquet tomorrow weekend, and invite everyone to his mansion on the top of the mountain for the first time."

Luo Fei looked up at Wang Susu: "The mansion on the top of the mountain?"

Wang Susu nodded: "This Charlie Wang never invites any outsiders to his house. There should be some important news to announce this time." When Wang Susu said this, he pushed Benjamin away and walked closer to Luo Fei, "I hear Said, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Kou are invited, Luo Fei, you will attend as my male companion when the time comes, and you can’t let those wives laugh at me for being alone.”

"That's Charlie Wang who followed the British to Mount Everest? I heard that he has a famous Spanish painting, which contains a treasure map." Luo Fei put down the invitation and thought for a while, "I'm fine this weekend, so I'll go and see it with you !"

Benjamin frowned after hearing this: "Luo Fei, this weekend we are going to watch "The Waves Washing the Sand", a new suspense movie..."

"Oh...that's right..." Luo Fei suddenly nodded and frowned, "Then you can only go to the banquet with me first."

Before Wang Susu could stop him, Luo Fei stood up and said to Wang Susu with a smile, "Bring two male companions along, sister Susu, you will be the focus of the audience then."

"Luo Feiyou" Wang Susu hugged her shoulders, and was so angry that she turned her head away for a moment.

The noisy sound from room 203 came to the opposite door, Xiaoman untied his gloves in a state of dismay, threw them aside casually, tore off the shattered portrait of Luo Fei from the sandbag, and threw them in balls out the window.The ball of paper flew out of the window and happened to hit Benjamin on the head who came out of the apartment.Benjamin looked up and saw Xiaoman's window was open. After thinking about it, he leaned over and picked up the ball of paper.When Benjamin unfolded the ball of paper and saw the smashed abstract painting of Luo Fei, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

Benjamin then drove on the neon-lit streets of the concession.When Benjamin passed the intersection near the Moses Synagogue, a black car suddenly drove towards him at a high speed.Benjamin saw the car crossing the tramway, and rushed towards him all the way.Benjamin immediately turned the steering wheel to avoid it, while the black car whistled and whizzed past him.

At the moment when the two cars crossed, Benjamin glanced angrily into the car on the left, but just this one glance made him startled and stunned.After the car passed by, Benjamin pushed the door and got out of the car. He stared blankly at the black car that had gone away for a long time.

"How could it be? Madam Ouyang? With Wang Xueru? Did I read it wrong?" Benjamin muttered to himself while standing there.

The next day, Benjamin, who had been thinking about it all night, drove to the police prison early in the morning with a lot of thoughts.When he learned that Wang Xueru had been executed, Benjamin's already perplexed and uneasy heart became even more suspended.At this time, Benjamin felt that Luo Fei should be told about this matter as soon as possible, so he hurried to Sullivan's apartment building to pick up Luo Fei and Wang Susu.Later, on the way to the mansion on the top of the mountain, Benjamin said to Luo Fei what he had been holding back all night.

"What did you say?! Did you see it clearly?" Luo Fei almost jumped out of his seat after hearing what happened to Benjamin last night, and stared at Benjamin.

"...not very clear." Benjamin narrowed his eyes again, thought for a while, and sighed, "Oh! That car was driving too fast at that time, and it passed by me in a blink of an eye, and the car Pulling the white gauze curtain inside, I vaguely feel that the two people look alike."

"No!" Luo Fei shook his head resolutely, "You said that the car came from the direction of the Moses Synagogue, and that intersection intersected with Huade Road, and the prison of the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry is on Huade Road!"

"You mean this Mrs. Ouyang brought a death row prisoner out of prison? That sounds ridiculous." Benjamin glanced at Luo Fei in surprise.

"No, haven't you forgotten that Wang Xueru still has a mother." Luo Fei said, and the strange smile of Wang Xueru when he was leaving in the mental hospital appeared in his mind.

"You mean?" Benjamin was thinking, and suddenly stepped on the brakes and turned to look at Luo Fei, "But even if Mrs. Ouyang is Wang Xueru's mother, how did she rescue Wang Xueru?"

Luo Fei said with a stern expression: "This is what I find more scary. The recent series of cases seem to be related to an organization."

"What organization?" Benjamin asked immediately.

But Luo Fei hesitated to speak, and then shook his head: "I have been investigating secretly, but now all the clues have been cut off, but this time the clue you mentioned may be of great use."

At this time, Wang Susu was in the back seat, and finally couldn't help complaining: "I said you are here to investigate the case or to attend the banquet. This car has driven to the foot of the mountain. Can we talk when we get there later? Don't talk about it now." keep me late."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.Benjamin restarted the car.

The car then drove towards a mountain with a cable car not far away for about ten minutes, and finally stopped slowly in front of the cable car station at the foot of the mountain.Benjamin stepped out of the car in a formal dress, looking helpless and a little cramped.

"Watching a movie becomes going up the mountain, traveling with brothers becomes..." Benjamin kept muttering as he watched Luo Fei get off the car with Wang Susu on his arm.

Wang Susu looked at Benjamin with disgust: "Benjamin, if Luo Fei hadn't begged me to take you with me, you would still be in a daze in the dead man's room."

Luo Fei smiled at Benjamin: "It's good for you to come out and breathe the fresh air, and maybe Charlie Wang will show us his famous painting."

Benjamin took a deep breath: "Well, for the sake of famous paintings."

Wang Susu looked annoyed, and gave Benjamin a blank look.Seeing this, Luo Fei immediately cleared his throat, and raised his chin towards Wang Susu.Only then did Benjamin come to his senses, and said with a smile, "For Sister Su Su's sake. Thank you Sister Su Su for bringing me to the banquet."

After hearing this, Wang Susu smiled triumphantly, and waved her arms towards the two of them respectively.Benjamin and Luo Fei looked at each other, and they had no choice but to hold her on the left and right, and walked towards the entrance of the cable car.

Luo Fei approached and found that there were many people at the entrance of the cable car. Judging by the attire of the crowd, they all came to the banquet.Suddenly, Luo Fei saw Qin Xiaoman in the crowd!Xiaoman, who was wearing a white velvet dress with fringed shawl, was holding Javert in a black dress.
