Chapter 417 Looking for the head of the Tao family
The old man seemed to want to say something, but Mo Yimo had already found a low table at random and sat down lightly.
Because the living room adopts Japanese decoration, the door of the hall adopts a sliding style.
At this moment, the door is fully open, allowing a view of the courtyard illuminated by lanterns.
Mo Yimo took the small cup of hot tea from the person at the same table, and looked out the door indifferently.
Those lanterns are made of oiled paper with a special coating. The paper is yellowed with a little rose red, which has a unique effect of setting off the burning candles inside.
The rain is still falling, which is supposed to wash away all evil things, but now it continues endlessly.
It seemed that something sinful had been washed away.
Displeasure flashed across Mo Yimo's eyes.
At the same time, the conversation with Pear Blossom Jing in the car in the afternoon echoed in his mind.
The ghost body that existed for too long gave him a good reminder.
It was so much fun.
He had originally accepted Xu Jia's commission to find the head of the Tao family.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jia mentioned inadvertently that his younger siblings also seemed to have some problems.
Seeing that under the condition of generous reward and allowing him to investigate at will, Mo Yimo decided without thinking too much, and wanted to check on Cheng Moxun's situation.
He remembered that when he saw Cheng Moxun in the car, he could tell that there was a different aura about her at first sight.
What's interesting is that this woman was completely unprepared for him, and even thought he was one of Xu Jia's subordinates, so she behaved very calmly.
If it was really possessed by an evil spirit or something, it is estimated that he would have been restless in front of him long ago.
But if there is nothing on her body, how can that special breath be explained?
The heavy rain in City C was inexplicable, almost reaching the level of flooding.
And Cheng Moxun just arrived at this moment.
There are not many weird things that can collide at the same time, so this especially caught Mo Yimo's attention.
"The car has already arrived outside the courtyard." The old man's voice interrupted Mo Yimo's train of thought and attracted the attention of other people in the room.
"So fast?" The man who had been lying on the ground not long ago sat up straight while yawning: "I really can't sleep well."
"I told you that it's only 10 minutes!" The girl ran in from the entrance at the other end of the living room, holding a dark green tie in her hand.
"That's what you picked..." The middle-aged man's expression was full of disgust: "Please, this style is outrageous."
The girl blinked her eyes, and her face was not clouded by the man's comment. She smiled and handed the tie to Mo Yimo: "How about this?"
There was a slight twitch in the facial expression, Mo Yimo's eyes were half-lidded, and he looked indifferent: "I don't remember buying this color."
"Ah, it was given to you by the eldest lady." The girl unfolded the tie in her hands, grinning happily: "She has already guessed that you will not cooperate."
Among the people sitting at the same table as Mo Yimo, there was a girl with a ponytail in a purple hair band.
She seemed to be frightened by something, her hand shook violently, and dropped the teapot she had just picked up back on the table: "Bang!"
The teapot was safe and sound, but all the tea in it was spilled out.
"Sorry!" The girl who did something wrong apologized hastily, and then got up in a panic to find a rag.
"Jiu Hezi, you really don't understand what I mean?" Mo Yimo ignored the confusion around him, and just moved away from the edge of the table lightly.
He fixed his eyes on the girl holding the tie in front of him, that bright smiling face made him feel faintly sullen.
The girl called Jiuhezi shook her head with a smile: "No, I understand."
"You're getting more and more courageous, young master, why don't you drive her out?" The middle-aged man still looked sleepy, sitting lazily, resting his chin with one hand.
"If possible, I'd be happy to do it." Mo Yimo stood up, took the dark green tie from Jiu Hezi's hand, threw it on the table next to him without taking a second look.
The tie, which was originally a dark color, looked like pure black after quickly absorbing the tea on the table.
There was a flash of stiffness on Jiuhezi's face. She looked at the desktop for a second, or less than a second, and quickly raised her smiling face again: "Oh, what a bad temper."
Just at this time, the girl who got up and left to find a rag, returned to the living room.
She was wearing a leather-pink kimono, with a crimson girdle embroidered with golden silk thread around her waist, and there was a pattern of blossoming plum blossoms on the cuffs.
"Ah, this is... this is..." Holding a gray rag in one hand, she stood by the table, looking at the tie on the table, a little at a loss.
"Don't worry about that." Mo Yimo said lightly, and he walked towards the door: "Nasu, you replace Jiuhezi, and get on the bus in five minutes."
"Huh? Me?" The rag in the girl's hand fell to the ground, and a young man at the same table picked up the rag and placed it on the table with a chuckle.
The old man has already walked to the door quickly, and opened a black umbrella leaning against the door: "Be careful."
"I may not come back tonight, you stay here." Mo Yimo took the umbrella and said without squinting.
"But..." The old man seemed to want to say something, but seeing the back of Mo Yimo who had resolutely walked into the rain curtain, he could only let out a long sigh: "Got it."
The middle-aged man yawned and walked out of the room, as if he didn't care about the heavy rain outside, and walked leisurely on his own.
"Why don't you hurry up and tidy up?" The old man glanced at Naxu who was still in a daze. Her purple hairband was hanging on her shoulders at the moment, and she looked dazed.
"Ah? Yes!" Nao regained consciousness in a panic, looked at Kuwako who was still smiling, turned around and quickly ran out of the inner door of the living room.
"Jiu Hezi, you..." The old man seemed to want to say something, but seeing Jiu Hezi's smiling face, he couldn't help frowning.
"Go on, I'm listening." Jiu Hezi said as he returned to where he was sitting before, pulled up the long skirt slightly, and then sat down lightly.
"Why mention the eldest lady." The old man's tone was full of displeasure.
"I'll see you soon anyway." Jiu Hezi waved his hand indifferently: "Just let him make preparations in advance."
The old man frowned, but he looked speechless.
Others in the room began to do what they had done before.
The puddle of tea on the table was quickly absorbed by the rag and tie.
One of the men, who was playing a game console, glanced at the table, then took out a free hand and snapped his fingers lightly: "Snap!"
In an instant, a gust of cold wind suddenly poured in from outside the living room.
"Hey, it's too cold, don't move your hands." Someone at the same table frowned and complained, stood up, and threw the rag and tie out the door: "Nao has gone to the casino, who is going to make tea? "
The old man sitting at the entrance of the living room glanced at the man with unclear eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll just go." The man returned to the table, picked up the light teapot, and stepped towards the inner door of the living room: "Wow, Nasu, are you so fast?"
"I'm afraid that the young master will be in a hurry." Nao changed the original kimono into a set of everyday casual clothes, and put a pink sweater on top of it.
Panting slightly, she tied up some loose hair with a purple-red headband, and ran out with big strides.
The moment she stepped out of the living room door and was about to rush into the rain curtain.
The old man sitting at the door stood up and said lightly, "Be careful of the slippery road."
In an instant, there seemed to be an imperceptible partition on the top of Nao's head, avoiding the rain one after another.
"Thank you!" Nao shouted while running forward quickly.
After a few minutes, the car started to start.
The middle-aged man sat in the co-pilot's seat, Na Xu sat behind him, and Mo Yimo sat directly behind the driver.
Nao looked a little nervous, and she couldn't even fully calm down her breathing.
She secretly looked at Mo Yimo's expression beside her, and then looked behind the car.
Behind the car are modern buildings whizzing by, where is the shadow of the classical courtyard where we stayed just now?
"Nasu." There was a faint smile on the corner of Mo Yimo's mouth, but the smile was only maintained on his face: "Sit down, we need to speed up."
"Yes!" Nao immediately sat up straight, and clenched his hands into small fists on his knees.
The car really increased its speed a lot in the next five seconds.
Star Top Casino is the largest entertainment venue in C City.
The so-called "scale" not only includes the legalized part of its business scope, but also includes the part of the force that can almost shake the underground casinos across the country.
The appearance it presents to ordinary people in City C is a spherical building covered with layers of glass and exaggeratedly marked with various colored lights.
During the day, it is one of the landmark buildings of C City, and its more function is to welcome visitors from all over the world; at night, it becomes a highly concentrated mixture of entertainment and crime.
Every night, life and death dramas are staged here, but ordinary people who are not involved in it cannot get a glimpse of these secrets.
"Damn it! It's a gourd again!" A drunk man cursed and kicked the slot machine, poking at the pattern on it several times: "One more of the same!"
"Who told you to play five rows?" A chuckle came from the side: "You are so lucky, if you don't play three rows, you are really at a loss."
"Fuck you! I want you to take care of me!" The drunk didn't look at the other person at all, and took out chips from his pocket: "Today I must win a big one!"
Gold chip coins, interlaced with green and black paint, showing a clown pattern.
When he took out the chips, he pulled out more chips from his pocket.
"Crash!" Then, countless colorful clowns fell to the ground wantonly and grinned at him.
