Let's make a contract, Demon Fox

Chapter 319 Mysterious Diary

In the Ouyang ancient house, Dong Muya and Min Entong have new research objects, and the mysterious figure Mrs. Lan has aroused their great interest. So the first urination was completely immersed in the underground database, to the extent that he forgot to eat and sleep.

Xia Qiu helped them prepare dinner alone. Neither of them came up nor did Ouyang Xiao Leng appear. He was about to go to Yongchuan Forest to find him, but he saw his figure landing outside the French window of the living room.

She opened the window for him, stared at him for a long time, and asked, "Who is that girl?"

"Ha ha, there is an extra sister out of thin air. She said that her father and my mother are brothers and sisters." Ouyang Xiao Leng responded to her. In fact, the moment he entered the living room, his nose smelled the aroma of the food. He guessed that it must have been made by Xia Qiu, and he felt warm in his heart.

"Oh?" Although Xia Qiu thought that this was really an unexpected development, she still had some questions, "Why did she appear at this time? Why didn't she come to recognize you before?"

"She didn't come to recognize me, but just wanted me to help her find her father's whereabouts. According to her, her father returned to China alone many years ago and began to investigate the cause of my mother's death. As a result, he lost contact with her soon." Ouyang Xiao Leng repeated what Ran Mingzhu told him to Xia Qiu.

"Why has no one ever mentioned that you have an uncle? Does Hongye know about these things? The more Xia Qiu listened, the more strange she felt.

"I also feel strange. Besides, I'm not sure whether the so-called pearl is true or not." Ouyang Xiao Leng answered.

"Go and ask Hongye. If what she said is true, will you help her?" Xia Qiu continued to ask.

A trace of loneliness suddenly appeared in Ouyang Xiao Leng's eyes and said quietly, "My mother broke off contact with her family in order to marry her father. I still know about this. Their marriage is not recognized, and the family has never asked about me. For them, I don't belong to that family at all, so I don't want to have anything to do with them.

"Well, I understand. But don't you think his disappearance may be related to Qingyun?" Xia Qiu felt sorry for the loss under Ouyang's cold and frozen appearance.

"Maybe..."

Ouyang Xiao Leng had thought of this possibility for a long time, but Mingzhu's aggressiveness reminded him of the situation when the whole family isolated his mother. He doesn't want to have too much contact with the people who have hurt her. As a demon catcher family, that family is already inexistable with demons. Why does he bother himself?

Xia Qiu was planning to continue chatting with Ouyang Xiao Leng, but the mobile phone in his pocket rang. She took out her mobile phone and saw that a strange number was displayed on the screen. After picking it up, there was a girl's voice opposite.

"Hey, is it Xia Qiu?"

"Are you?"

"Ran Mingzhu, please come to me at 53 Pufang Street. I want to show you something."

"What?"

Just as soon as Xia Qiu was about to ask her what she wanted to show herself, the other party hung up the phone.

"I have told her not to get you involved, but she wants to fight against me." Ouyang Xiao Leng was unhappy, and his face looked even colder.

"I still want to see what her purpose is. Anyway, I'm also familiar with the place she said." Xia Qiu is not worried about her safety at all.

"I thought you would say that for a long time. I'll go with you, and she can't do anything." After saying that, Ouyang Xiao Leng glanced at the direction of the restaurant.

"Are you hungry?" Xia Qiu asked him with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Ouyang Xiao Leng answered. In fact, he didn't feel hungry, but he didn't know why he wanted to take a bite immediately when he thought of Xia Qiu's cooking.

So after eating something, the two walked to the place agreed with Ran Mingzhu. They arrived at the destination, No. 53 Pufang Street, which is a four-storey apartment. Because it is a European-style building, it seems a little out of tune with the Chinese style of the whole street.

Ran Mingzhu stood at the door of the apartment. She seemed to have expected Ouyang Xiao Leng to go to the appointment with Xia Qiu, so she was not surprised by his appearance.

After nodding to the two, she said, "Come in with me!"

"Wait, where is this?" Ouyang Xiao asked coldly.

"Isn't it written clearly? Yujin Apartment. Ran Mingzhu pointed in the direction above the door of the apartment, and then continued impatiently, "Don't ask so much. You will know when you go in."

As soon as he entered the Yujin Apartment, Xia Qiu was attracted by the huge crystal chandelier above his head. In this not too wide lobby, this chandelier was really too gorgeous. The man standing at the front desk has gray hair, white, ruddy and energetic. He is dressed in a white shirt, a black vest, and a black suit and trousers neatly ironed out the trouser line. The black bow tie is quite happy. He always feels like a housekeeper in a large British family, not like the manager of the apartment.

"What can I do for you, miss?" He asked Ran Mingzhu politely.

"My name is Ran Mingzhu. I've called before!" However, Mingzhu answered directly.

"I remember, are you here to get that diary?" The apartment manager continued to ask.

"Exact" Ran Mingzhu nodded.

"Wait a minute, I may need you to show me a valid ID to prove your identity and the relationship with the guest who checked in at that time." The apartment manager is quite conscientious and responsible.

Ran Mingzhu took out a passport from her pocket. The passport said Japan, and there was also a certificate of her relationship with Ran Tianyou in the passport. She handed her passport and certificate to the front desk of the apartment. The man checked it carefully, then lowered his head and opened a drawer behind the front desk, took out an old diary from it, and handed it back with her passport and certificate.

Then he asked, "Please keep this. Is there anything else you need?"

"Were you here when my father checked in?" However, Mingzhu always feels that a person who is so meticulous about his work may be able to recall some details at that time.

"Yes, I have been running this apartment since I inherited this old house more than 30 years ago, and I have been managing it myself."

"Can you still remember what happened at that time?"

"Your father is an impressive person, and I have the ability to always remember the faces of the guests I have met, so now I can still remember what he looks like."

"Real? Is there anything you care about?"

"He left the apartment in a hurry that day, but he deliberately handed over this diary to me, and then something strange happened. First of all, I was very sure that he didn't come back all night, but the next day when the cleaner helped him clean the room, he found that all his belongings had disappeared. Because your father had already paid the room for three months, I didn't think too much at that time, just thinking that he might have come back that night. The manager of the apartment suddenly remembered something after saying this, "That's right!"

He looked through his notepad, then took out a bunch of keys to open the drawer for the money, and counted out three old versions of the 100-yuan notes from the bottom and handed them to Ran Mingzhu.

Ran Mingzhu asked doubtfully, "Is this?"

"At that time, the monthly room fee was 120 yuan, which was the extra money. I have been keeping it for him!"

"Thank you very much!" However, Mingzhu took them and said.

It's hard to imagine that after such a long time, the administrator would still keep a diary given to him by his father at that time, and the extra hundreds of yuan, which had to make Xia Qiu sincerely admire the old man. But at the same time, what was of great interest to her was what was recorded in this diary.

Leaving the Yujin Apartment, Ran Mingzhu proposed to find a place to check this diary together. At this time, Ouyang Xiao Leng was also deeply attracted by this mysterious diary, and perhaps he could learn about Qingyun from it. The three of them walked to a cafe on the same street. After ordering something to drink casually, the pearl couldn't wait to open the diary.

The cover of the diary is leather, with a button in the middle. Its quality is very good. After so many years, the button is still very tight, with a bang when it is opened. Although the inner page of the diary has turned yellow, the text on it is also clear and variable.

The diary is mixed with Chinese, English, Japanese, Latin, and even many symbols that Xia Qiu can't understand. However, Tianyou should have recorded all the information he investigated directly into this book first.

"This is indeed my father's handwriting, but it's not his habit." However, Mingzhu looked down and said to herself.

"What do you say?" Ouyang Xiao Leng asked.

"He does record all the very subtle information, but according to his habit, he will analyze and sort out the information on the night of receiving the information, but you don't sort out the content in your diary." However, Mingzhu pointed to the corner of the diary and explained.

"Maybe he was too busy in those days, or he encountered it before he could sort it out in the future..." Ouyang Xiao Leng just wanted to continue talking, but he was white-hearted.

She said affirmatively, "I know my father. Although he left when I was very young, my mother told me a lot about him, and I will never make a mistake about his habits."

"There is a lot of information here." Xia Qiu looked at the dense handwriting in the diary and sighed.

"Yes, I'm afraid I won't know which information is useful for a while." However, Mingzhu was a little depressed in the face of the dense lines of small words.

"I know two people who may be able to help you understand the information recorded in this diary faster." Xia Qiu smiled and said to her.

"Are they human beings?" However, Mingzhu asked with the first reaction.

"Uh-huh!" Xia Qiu affirmed her guess.

"Demon Catcher? Intelligence trafficker?" However, Mingzhu continued to ask.

"No, they are the managers of the database that stores various records and books in the demon world and the world." Xia Qiu explained to her.

"There are such strange people in the world. I really should see them."

"Hey, do you really want to take her to see Dong Muya and others?" Ouyang Xiao Leng is still a little skeptical about the identity of Ran Mingzhu.

"If you believe us, give this diary to me and Xiao Leng first!" Xia Qiu did not directly answer Ouyang Xiao Leng's words, but turned to Ran Mingzhu and said.

She believed in her intuition very much, but Pearl would not be false about the pain and shock of her father's disappearance. Although Ouyang Xiao Leng always disguises her feelings, she understands that his desire for family affection is no different from that of ordinary people. If by helping Ran Mingzhu, they can not only obtain useful information, but also make peace with his mother's family, then it will be the most perfect ending.

"Here you are!"

Ran Mingzhu hesitated for a few seconds, but closed the diary and chose to hand it over to Xia Qiu. She is more willing to believe them this time than to suspect that they will take this diary for themselves and exclude herself.
