The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 173 Investigation
The result of Yang Yang's final communication with Yuan Mu was that Ning Yuan could get some information from them, but Yuan Mu and the others were not responsible for his residence in Shanghai and other matters.

That is to say, it is possible for Ning Yuan to chat with them, but it is completely impossible for Ning Yuan to provide food, housing and work like Meng Xiu and Chi Dun.

Yang Yang understands this. Originally, Yuan Mu and the others don't run a charity organization. Meng Xiu can barely be counted in the relationship between his clan and Dan Xun. In addition, he is a child. .

But Ning Yuan and them are neither relatives nor relatives, and they came to find them by themselves.Yang Yang thought, he is a big man with hands and feet, so it should be no problem to support himself, so he told him what Yuan Mu and the others meant, and Ning Yuan not only readily agreed, but also left with gratitude.

Three days later, when Yang Yang knew that the building between the dim sum shop and the ice cream shop was bought by Ning Yuan, he finally felt that he was a 24K mentally handicapped—pure!
I actually forgot that Ning Yuan is an out-and-out rich second generation!For him, where does he need to arrange any work, where does he need to include food and housing, all these are solved with a wave of his hand, when he looks at the sign "Ningyuan Detective Agency" hanging between the snack shop and the ice cream shop When I saw the sign, I finally realized how naive I was.

But the signboard of the detective agency is up, but there is no business. Even the old lady in the nearby community lost her cat. went.Because of this incident, he was ridiculed by several people for a long time.

But having said that, although Ning Yuan is not good at starting a business, he is very talented in making friends and handling interpersonal relationships.

It has only been a week since he moved here, and he has gone up to the ice of the moon, down to the little fox, and got to know the monsters nearby, and even a few regular customers of the snack shop can call him by name.

It’s just a pain for Yang Yang. Ning Yuan often came to the dim sum shop when he had nothing to do, either to inquire about Yuan Mu’s news, or to ask him when he would rest. Every day, he took Yang Yangchi, Dun Xiaohu and others to Xiaochen's house to eat hot pot.

It's just that he didn't know what method he used to get all the documents for Xiaochen's hot pot restaurant in just three days. When asked about the specific situation, he just scratched his head and said that there were acquaintances at home.So Xiaochen became more enthusiastic about him, especially after meeting Dai Xia later, the two hit it off.

This day, just as Yang Yang saw off the last customer, he saw Ning Yuan wandering into the shop slowly, and said, "Yang Yang, shall we have hot pot tonight?"

Yang Yang, who has been dragged by him to eat hot pot for more than a week, now feels like throwing up when he hears the word hot pot. He shook his head and said firmly, "No!"

Regardless of the reasons, he has already figured out Ning Yuan's character through getting along with him these days. As long as Yang Yang gives a reason, he will have ten rebuttals waiting.

Sure enough, when Yang Yang refused to go, Ning Yuan immediately asked: "Why! Don't you like hot pot very much? Or do you think Xiao Chen's hot pot is not delicious?"

Brother, even though I like to eat, I can’t resist eating like you every day!Do you really want to vomit?As for the taste of Xiaochen's hot pot, Yang Yang didn't want to recall it at all. It wasn't that it was bad, but after so long, he felt that he was about to become a moving hot pot bucket.

"I..." Yang Yang just wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, when he saw a not-so-familiar figure appearing at the door of the store. Normally, he would hide as soon as he could, but this time he seemed to see a life-saving straw. He rushed over, opened the door and pulled the person in, and asked with a smile on his face, "Why are you here? Hurry up, come in and sit in!"

The person who came was also taken aback by his unusual attitude, and he was stunned for a while before replying: "Yuan Mu and the others called me here, why? Haven't they arrived yet?"

This time it was Yang Yang's turn to be stunned.Yuan Mu and the others haven't contacted him since the Daoist Changyun last time. If it wasn't for Yue Bing who often knew about their recent actions, Yang Yang would have thought that these two people had left the magic capital. What's going on now? Knowing the news from others, don't you have to be stunned for a while.

Seeing that Yang Yang stayed silent, Ning Yuan hurried forward and asked, "Hey, Yang Yang, why don't you introduce me?"

"Oh, yes, yes, let me introduce you." Yang Yang, who finally came to his senses after being reminded by him, pointed to Xie Zhi at the side, and said, "This is Xie Zhi, Xiaochen's good friend, Xie Zhi, this is Ning Yuan, who runs a detective agency next door."

"Xiaochen's friend!" Ning Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he grabbed Xie Zhi's hand and shook it violently, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing this, Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows, retracted his hand, stared at Ning Yuan's dantian for a long time, then raised his head and said to him: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

The two of them were talking politely when they heard the tinkling sound of the wind chimes at the door. When they looked up, Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu had already entered the door.

The two seemed a little surprised to see Ning Yuan holding Xie Zhi's hand, but they just paused, and then greeted: "Come to the meeting."

After several people sat down, Yuan Mucai said: "This morning, Daomen gave me an invitation letter, saying that this matter is of great importance, and they want me to go to Penglai, discuss with some chiefs, and send a letter. It was Chang Yun who came, although he didn't say anything, but I could see that he didn't really want me to go."

"How come?" Hearing what he said, Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Chang Yun's temperament, if he doesn't want you to go, then he will lose the invitation with countless reasons, so why send it here? "

"If he wanted me to go, he would have told me when I went back to the Taoist branch to look for him. Why did he wait until today?" Yuan Mu said, taking out an invitation card and putting it on the table , Pointing to one of them, said: "Look, the date of this signature was long before I went to find him. If he really wanted me to go, why wait until today."

"Maybe he forgot?" Yang Yang looked at the invitation card for a long time and found out the most reasonable reason.

"He's not you." Yu Zhongwu shook his head when he heard his words, "He remembers almost all the cases and fugitives in the Taoist sect from ancient times to the present. There is no reason why he should not remember this matter."

Yang Yang, who would lie on his gun every time he made an opinion, was already used to it. He nodded and asked, "Then are you going or not? Have you decided?"

"It depends on the results of Xie Zhi's investigation." Yuan Mu chuckled lightly when he heard this, and turned to look at Xie Zhi, "How is it? What did you find?"

Xie Zhi tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the people present: "Acids and incidents are not only caused by demons, they have happened in many places across the country, but you happened to be here, so they solved it. Other places..." Other places Xie Zhi Without finishing, you can also imagine that if a place is haunted for a long time, and there are more than one witnesses, what will happen is simply no need to guess.

Falling house prices and population migration are almost certain things, and it is estimated that the place will become a ghost town in a short time.

"Oh, by the way, there is another piece of news." Just when everyone was silent, Xie Zhi spoke again, "I heard that the place where the acid was placed in the magic capital was demolished and a new building was to be built."

"So fast? Before a few people spoke, Ning Yuan said. After realizing that everyone was looking at him, he explained: "Yang Yang told me before that the haunting incident should have passed less than half a year ago, right?But generally speaking, it takes more than a year to finalize the demolition of such a big city, which is pretty fast.In the past six months..."

"I don't believe that there was no action before." In the end, Ning Yuan said: "The developer must have been discussing this case with the government a long time ago, but the specific amount of compensation for the demolition has not been finalized, so the construction has not started. Yes, this kind of thing is very common in this industry."

"So, as long as the people in the demolition area agree to the compensation plan for the demolition, can the construction start?" Yuan Mu immediately asked after seeing this.

"Theoretically, that's the case." Ning Yuan nodded, "However, as you all know the housing prices in Shanghai recently, the compensation for demolition is estimated to be a large amount, which cannot be paid by ordinary companies, and the construction period has been delayed. normal."

"Then can you help us to investigate the affairs of this company?" Hearing his explanation, Yuan Mu pondered and said: "If we go to investigate, the goal is too big and it is inconvenient. I heard that you have acquaintances The Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and your father is also in this business. If it is convenient, it is best for you to come forward and help us investigate this developer and the boss behind him."

Ning Yuan, who never thought that one day Yuan Mu would ask for his help, was simply flattered. He agreed to the matter almost without thinking, and then ran out to make a phone call.

Looking at his back, Xie Zhi chuckled lightly and said, "The mobility is still very good."

"Yes." Yuan Mu also laughed, turned to look at Yang Yang and said, "Although he doesn't look like a city mansion, I always feel that his purpose is not that simple. It's been a hard time for you to watch him."

Yang Yang was a little surprised when he heard the words, and thought to himself, since you were worried, why did you agree to him to come over?In the end, however, he nodded without asking anything.

Five minutes later, Ning Yuan hung up the phone and walked in, telling several people that this developer is a friend of my dad.
