Chapter 320
The next morning, Lu Miao got up and went downstairs. Shen Qinghe and the old lady gave everyone a big bulging red envelope. Gu Ziheng smiled and reached out to her to ask for the red envelope. After Lu Miao gave it to him, he turned around and looked around. See Gu Jinxi.
“Where is Jinxi?”
"You haven't gotten up yet. This guy stayed in bed on the first day of the New Year. He will ask the second sister-in-law not to give out red envelopes later." Gu Ziheng stretched out his hand to give Lu Miao a chopstick dish.
Lu Miao was still thinking about the petal marks on his wrist. After eating, he took out his cell phone and called Gu Jinxi. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
Just as he was about to go up to the third floor and knock on the door, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.
Looking at the screen, it turned out to be Fu Jingshen. She couldn't help but feel confused. This guy must be up to no good.
Sure enough, after getting through, Fu Jingshen said directly without any nonsense, "I need your help to find someone."
Who is worthy of Fu Jingshen personally calling her during the Chinese New Year?
Lu Miao, "Send me the birth date and birth date of the missing person."
Five minutes later, looking at the long list of names and birthdays sent by Fu Jingshen on WeChat, Lu Miao couldn't help but frowned and called Fu Jingshen directly, "These are the presidents and directors of various company groups. Why?" Will they disappear at the same time?”
Fu Jingshen on the phone also had a headache, "There was a charity auction organized in Los Angeles half a month ago. These were the people who participated in the auction. A week after the auction ended, Mr. Zhang from Yingda Group was the first disappeared, and then two more people disappeared one after another.
As the New Year was approaching, people in Luo City were afraid of causing panic among the people and fearing that someone would take advantage of the chaos to cause disputes in business, so they suppressed the news and searched for it secretly.
Unexpectedly, more and more people were missing, and these people would cause economic turmoil in Luo City, so they had no choice but to report it to the capital.
Those from the Special Affairs Administration have already tried, but they have no clue. I have no choice but to come to you now. "
Lu Miao knew that Lin Bufan was the person in charge of this auction, and asked her if she wanted to attend. Gu Shiyan originally received the invitation, but Gu Shiyan had a cooperation to discuss that day, so he directly donated money and did not go.
After a moment's thought, he asked, "Where's Lin Bufan?"
Lin Bufan has been very busy in the past two years. He hasn't contacted her since he came back from Mr. Cheng's house last time.
“This is another reason why I’m looking for you. After discovering that the missing people had all participated in the charity auction, Luo City suspected that the disappearance of these people was related to Lin Bufan, so they secretly took him away for investigation.
Just now I received a call from the detention officer that Lin Bufan was missing in the detention center. "Fu Jingshen's voice was solemn.
With a thought in Lu Miao's mind, Lu Miao turned and went upstairs to Gu Jinxi's room. He opened the door and saw that the bedding on the bed in the room was messy and the slippers beside the bed were still there, as if the owner hadn't left yet.
Pushing open the bathroom door, it was also empty inside.
Hurry back to your room and turn on the computer to check the surveillance.
Fu Jingshen heard her movement on the other side of the phone, "What's wrong?"
Lu Miao said in a deep voice, "Gu Jinxi is missing."
"Did he go out to play? He probably didn't attend the auction." Fu Jingshen was confused.
"No, his shoes are still there. According to the surveillance, he has not gone out since he went back to his room to sleep last night."
The two of them couldn't help but fell silent for a moment. Gu Jinxi disappeared under Lu Miao's eyes. This was by no means an ordinary disappearance case.
I tried Lin Bufan’s birth date and horoscope again, and the same thing happened.
The horoscopes Fu Jingshen sent me are the same even if I don’t try them. Lu Miao closed her eyes and tapped her fingertips on the table. Unless someone deceived Tianji, there was no way she could not calculate.
The only abnormality about Gu Jinxi is the pink petal on his wrist.
If Gu Jinxi's disappearance is really related to that petal, it means that the same is true for everyone else. Except for Gu Jinxi, the biggest thing they have in common is that they all participated in the auction.
In the flash of lightning, Lu Miao's mind flashed back to when she was at the City God's Temple. Lin Bufan had shown her the auction list. There was an ancient painting in it. At that time, she only glanced at it. The painting on it was a peach forest.
Information about this kind of charity auction is public. Lu Miao checked it online and found out that the person who took the photo of this ancient painting was Mr. Zhang of Yingda Group.
After the auction, he went to the club with several people present to form a game.
Judging from the list leaked in the news, all the missing people are listed.
But there is no information online about who donated this ancient painting.
Checking the address of Mr. Zhang's home, he quickly turned around and went downstairs. He happened to meet Gu Shiyan coming upstairs to look for her. Seeing her footsteps, she said in a hurry, "Where are you going? I'll drive you."
"Need not."
Lu Miao thought for a while, "Please help me find out who donated the ancient painting at the charity auction that Lin Bufan was in charge of half a month ago."
“Is it related to the disappearance of those people?” Gu Shiyan asked directly.
Lu Miao nodded. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a secret for a true superior.
The moment he walked past Gu Shiyan, a faint scent of flowers entered his nose. Something flashed through Lu Miao's mind, and his steps stopped in place.
No, the first time she saw something related to peach blossoms was not the ancient paintings on the auction list, but the cocktail party she attended with Gu Shiyan.
She went to the balcony to answer the phone and felt someone peeping in the corridor. When she came out, a pink petal fell at her feet and disappeared.
At that time, she guessed that it might be for her or Gu Shiyan, so she directly placed a ban on Gu Shiyan.
He turned around and looked at Gu Shiyan, "No, you come with me."
In the eyes of those special groups, Gu Shiyan's physique is a modern version of Tang Monk's meat. People and ghosts alike want to take a bite. In this special time, it is safest to keep people close to you.
Gu Shiyan naturally had no objection and took the car keys and followed her.
Mr. Zhang’s residence is a mansion on the bay, one hundred meters away, and the security is quite tight.
I have to say that Mr. Gu's face is very easy to use. It is like a pass for walking. There is no need to talk nonsense with the security. He lowers the window and the security lets him go with just one glance.
The person who opened the door was a servant. Hearing that Lu Miao and the others were coming to see Madam Zhang, she looked a little unnatural and said, "Mr. Gu, Miss Lu, Madam went out temporarily for something this morning and will be back soon. Please come inside for a while." Wait a minute."
He took the two of them into the living room. The large living room was empty. Except for them, they saw no other servants. There were several pairs of lambskin shoes neatly placed under the shoe cabinet at the door. The whole house was filled with a strong floral fragrance.
The servant went to the kitchen and brought tea to the two of them.
“You two should have some tea and take a rest.”
