Chapter 28 A piece of cake

Changle Town didn't seem to be as prosperous as Cunning Town, the shops on the roadside were empty, and there were few pedestrians. When Liu Si and his party came to the inn, there was only the sound of weak peddlers hawking from a distance on the street.

"Are you going to live here?"

Gu Haofu scratched his head, as if he didn't know how to speak, "Then...uh, when will you help to collect debts?"

It was just after noon, and the sun was still high in the sky. In fact, they walked not too slowly. The half-day journey only took two hours.

Liu Bang looked at the sky: "Do you know where that bad guy who owes debts lives?"

Gu Haofu said slowly: "He and I shared a small room next to the private school. We are roommates. He hasn't come back for a long time."

Liu Si gave him a strange look: "Where is he hiding now, do you have any idea?"

Gu Haofu shook his head.

"He just disappeared suddenly and never came back after hiding from debts?"

"Yes."

"Then did you go to squat him at the gate of the town for the first time?"

Gu Haofu looked a little puzzled: "No, why do you want to squat him at the gate of the town?"

Liu Bang exclaimed: "Of course I'm afraid that he will borrow money when he goes out of town, so he will pay you back!"

Although the blood pressure was raised, but after thinking about it, Liu Si decided to go to Gu Haofu's room first to find out if there were any clues.

The place they rented was next to the private school, with a huge yard. Gu Haofu and his roommate exclusively occupied the smaller bungalow on the far left, with two small rooms separated inside, which was quite comfortable.

"Things are still stored inside, take a look."

The old landlord squinted his dim eyes and unlocked the door of Gu Haofu's roommate.He struggled to avoid the big package that Liu Bang was carrying, and squeezed out of the house.

Gu Haofu thanked the landlord, and introduced to Liu Si and the two of them: "My roommate's name is Luo Duan, and he is actually quite a nice person."

The room was not very big, filled with a gray musty smell that hadn't been ventilated for a long time, the furniture was neatly arranged, and several stacks of books were lined up on the table with perfect spacing. It seemed that the owner of the room seemed to be a bit obsessive-compulsive.

Liu Bang took a casual look, and found that there was no sign of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room. The wardrobe was full of all kinds of clothing, and several large boxes were filled with books. It seemed that Luo Duan didn't bring many things with him when he ran away.

She picked up a robe from the wardrobe:
"【Silk Jade Robe】

Description: The jade-colored gown woven from natural mulberry silk has become unpopular because it sells so well.

Valuation: 2 gold"

"How much does your friend owe you?"

Liu Si raised his eyebrows, such a wardrobe of luxurious clothes is not enough for Luo Duan to pay off the debt?
Gu Haofu said: "I borrowed about two ingots of gold, three beautiful stones, and some ornamental ornaments. One of the ornaments was picked up when I went to Luo Duan's house to play. If he wants me to directly Just give it to him, but those three stones are a gift from someone else, so he really has to return them to me."

Liu Bang was surprised: "Isn't he short of money to eat? Why are you borrowing stones and decorations?"

Gu Haofu scratched his head: "Their family is engaged in recycling, and now they lack a stable source of supply. I want to ask me to borrow this thing as a prestige."

Luo Duan's family said that they were recyclers at best, but at worst they picked up garbage from corpses and sold them.

There have been many disputes in Ningchuan since ancient times, leaving many old and new corpses unclaimed. Luo Duan's family specially stripped off the equipment from such corpses to sell. If you are lucky enough to find ancient corpses, you can pick up strange and mysterious magic weapons. It sold for a decent price there.

No wonder Luo Duan's clothes are so expensive.

Liu Bang pointed to the closet: "Then if you pawn these things, at least it can be worth a lot of money, right?"

Gu Haofu shook his head: "No matter how much money these things cost, they can't compare with the gifts others gave me. Those stones are really beautiful, and I like them very much."

Liu Bang nodded perfunctorily, didn't bother to ask any more questions, and just unceremoniously poured out the things in the closet box, looking through them one by one.

Gu Haofu was taken aback by Liu Bang's battle: "Is this possible?"

Zhu Mingyao said solemnly: "Of course, Ah Liu has a lot of experience in finding things, just watch from the side."

"I am really proficient in this way. If I were to be a recycler, I would definitely be much better than your classmate's family." Liu Si sighed pretendingly.

After a while, she discovered some clues——

【Bad paper cutter】

Description: As a gift, it is already worthy of its worth; as a paper cutter, it can stack two sheets of paper and cut them, which is already its super long performance.

Valuation: None

Liu Bang picked up the knife: "Something's wrong, there's no gold inlaid on it, and the blade isn't made of precious stones, obviously it doesn't suit your classmate's taste. Do you have any ideas?"

Gu Haofu took the paper cutter and carefully looked at the small print on the handle:
"Ah, I know this. There is a Yalang in the north of the town. Anyone who rents a house from him will be given some gadgets. When I rented this house, I was given a box of ink pads. Look at this On the side, signed with his seal."

Isn't the clue here?

Liu Bang smiled and said: "Really, it seems that your classmate has visited this Yalang recently, do you know what he wants to rent?"

Gu Haofu shook his head in confusion.

Liu Si said: "Then let's ask this Yalang."

Gu Haofu led the way, and they quickly found this cunning Yalang who loved to give small gifts of little value but refused to accommodate coins at all.

Liu Bang didn't waste much effort, just said a few nice words and gave a little tip, and Yalang rented Luo Duan's house with a smile on his face, and told him all about the location of the house.

It's just that, after Liu Si finished asking, he practiced threatening again a little, and Yalang's expression changed immediately after being frightened, and he hurriedly returned double the money to her!
"You're really lucky. This Yalang was about to close up the stall and go home, but he happened to bump into us."

Liu Bang shook the money bag given by Yalang in his hand, talking to Gu Haofu repeatedly.

Gu Haofu said: "Then are we going to check the address given by Yalang now? I don't know why Luo Duan is renting a house in such a remote place."

Liu Si said cheerfully: "It's better to be planning something bad, so he should still be in the town and not escape."

Dusk was approaching, and the shadows on the ground stretched far away, trailing behind the three of them.

Zhu Mingyao suddenly said: "Then Luo Duan doesn't know why, he didn't go directly to the temporary gathering place where he took refuge in Ningchuan, and meet his family members. It seems that the idea of ​​borrowing money for the family members seems a little watery."

Liu Si agreed: "Indeed. Who knows what he's doing secretly, anyway, it's almost night, why don't you send Brother Gu back to the inn, and I'll take advantage of the night to sneak around to see what's going on? Just in case Forging is plotting something big and bad, and I can easily run by myself."

Zhu Mingyao really became worried: "You say it like this, it seems that this is indeed safer, after all, you have experience in caves before. It's just that although you are quick-witted, Ah Liu, you must be very careful by yourself."

She is easy to think too much, just need to hint casually, and she will become worried.

Liu Bang smiled, tied the money bag on his belt, and touched the square bag containing the gourd with his hand, his eyes flickered: "Of course."

Gu Haofu still recalled the appearance of Liu Bang when he threatened Yalang just now in Gu Haofu's mind. He peeked at Liu Bang with some admiration, and said embarrassedly: "Then I will trouble you! You look like a professional just now. It is very right to find you to do this kind of thing.”

Liu Bang smiled: "It's true, I used to be able to handle at least three things like you in one day."

——It’s just in the game.
