Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 228
"Let go of me, I'm not lying, the person you said really never lived here!" the round-faced girl struggled to say.

Lin Rantong narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "You haven't seen it before, how do you know that Ding Mo is a girl? I never mentioned whether I was looking for a man or a woman."

That's right, from the very beginning, Lin Rantong asked if there was someone named Ding Mo living here, and the name Ding Mo was originally very neutral. If the girl had never met Ding Mo and his party, how could she blurt out whether she had seen her or not? A girl named Ding Mo.

The girl's face changed again when she heard Lin Rantong's words, but this time she said with a bit of determination: "I just said it casually, I really didn't see it, what do you want?"

Seeing that the girl didn't intend to admit it at all, Lin Rantong didn't have time to waste time with her. He stretched out a hand and pressed lightly on the counter, and saw the whole palm sink in. When she moved her hand away, a clear Palm prints appear on it.

The girl gasped, and looked at Lin Rantong with horror.

"You'd better tell the truth. I have limited patience. If I don't hear any more answers, then this palm print is not on the table." Lin Rantong said in a low voice.

She was really tired of these things in her heart, she didn't know what the darkness would bring to people that day, but at this time, those messy things were still indispensable.

The girl saw that the look on Lin Rantong's face did not seem to be fake, and the murderous look that Lin Rantong had formed all the time also made her feel that the woman in front of her was definitely not joking, so she hesitated for a moment, struggled in her heart, and then said in a low voice: "A few people came to stay here yesterday, and one of them was a very conspicuous girl named Ding Mo. It was fine during the day, but at night, there seemed to be some movement. When I checked this morning, they were all gone."

"It's gone, what's going on, why did you lie before?" Lin Rantong asked.

The girl bit her lip and said: "The boss said that they just came to the base at first glance. I don't know if they offended someone or exposed their wealth and were targeted by others. After all, it happened in our hotel. If it spreads, it will affect people." We're in business, so it's—"

"So just pretend they haven't been here?" Lin Rantong asked coldly.

The girl's face flushed slightly.

Lin Rantong said: "Take me to see the room they lived in."

The round-faced girl was photographed by Lin Rantong's force, and hurriedly responded, and showed Lin Rantong the room of Ding Mo and the others.

The quilts in the room were neatly folded and the floor was clean.

The girl said: "We have tidied up these rooms, but when we came to see them, the quilts were spread out."

"Uh, are there any traces of fighting on and around the ground?" Lin Rantong asked.

The girl shook her head and said affirmatively, "No, if it wasn't for the disappearance of the person, there wouldn't be anything unusual at all."

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Lin Rantong said, "You'd better tell the truth. You know, a monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away."

"What I said is true." The girl hurriedly said.

Lin Rantong turned and left, thinking to himself, if the girl hadn't lied, Ding Mo and the others would not have offended anyone when they first arrived. Judging from the situation, it is very likely that they were targeted by a small gang that used to rob outsiders.

What to do about this?Lin Rantong thought about it while walking, and suddenly thought of a person, Wang Shiluo, they were hidden from the mercenary team, and the tasks they received were complicated, and maybe they could provide some clues.

But Lin Rantong didn't know where Wang Shiluo lived, so she had to go to Qiao Feifei first.

Knocking on the door, when it was opened, Li Nuan's delicate baby face was revealed: "Ah, it's Captain Lin, please come in."

Lin Rantong walked in and asked, "Where's Feifei?"

"It's inside." Li Nuan replied cheerfully.

Just as he was talking, Qiao Feifei came out: "Why, it's not time for the party yet, Ran Tong, why did you come to me so impatiently? Well, did you come because of the fact that it was getting dark?"

Lin Rantong smiled lightly: "Feifei, you guessed wrong this time, I came here to ask you, do you know where Wang Shiluo lives?"

"I just happen to know this. Why, you're looking for him?" Qiao Feifei asked curiously.

"Well, something happened to a few friends, and I want to ask him to inquire about it." Lin Rantong said.

Hearing what Lin Rantong said, Qiao Feifei immediately said: "Then hurry up, I will take you there."

With that said, he immediately walked out the door.

"Captain." Li Nuan hurriedly called out.

"Are you going too? Hurry up and follow." Qiao Feifei said.

Li Nuan said dumbfoundedly: "Captain, I mean, at least you should change your shoes."

Qiao Feifei looked down, only to realize that she was still wearing slippers, she stuck out her tongue and said, "I forgot it in a hurry."

Lin Rantong's heart warmed up.

The three of them walked to the street and passed through countless winding alleys. They didn't stop in front of an ordinary house until Lin Rantong was dizzy.

Lin Rantong looked at the brown-yellow gate and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qiao Feifei brought it here. If he was alone, even if he had been here before, he might not be able to find a place after dark.

Qiao Feifei stepped forward and patted on the door.

After the door opened, a man cautiously glanced at the person standing in front of him, and said with a smile on his face, "So it's Captain Qiao, what's the matter with Captain Qiao?"

This person is Li Qing, Qiao Feifei said: "We came to find your captain, is he there?"

Li Qing glanced behind Qiao Feifei, saw Li Nuan making a face at him, moved his gaze to the side, was startled for a moment, and then said: "Captain Lin, you are here too!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran inside, shouting as he ran, "Captain Wang, Captain Lin is here!"

Leaving Lin Rantong and the three of them looking at each other in blank dismay, is this the case?

Li Qing ran in panting, Wang Shiluo was sitting leisurely on the grand teacher's chair, and frowned when he saw Li Qing's appearance: "Li Qing, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Captain, I was just about to go out. I didn't expect to hear a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I found out that it was Captain Qiao." Li Qing said.

Wang Shiluo said lightly: "Then just invite her in, why are you panicking?"

"Captain Lin is here too!" Li Qing said excitedly.

Wang Shiluo was startled for a moment, then he said puzzledly: "Then please come in together, what are you excited about?"

Now it was Li Qing's turn to be stunned for a moment, and said aggrievedly: "I, I thought you would be excited when you saw Miss Lin, so I got excited along with it."

"Why am I excited?" Wang Shiluo asked while walking out with Li Qing.

Li Qing whispered: "Didn't you order us to do several things a few days ago, all related to Miss Lin?"

Wang Shiluo glared at Li Qing, quickened his pace and walked out, secretly wondering if these bastards are too idle, thinking about something every day, this is a way to repay him, okay, how could it be wrong in their eyes? upstairs.

The three of Lin Rantong were invited into the gate by another young man, and they stayed there waiting because Li Qing was going to report back.

After a while, I saw Wang Shiluo and Li Qing walking together.

"Captain Lin, Captain Qiao, Miss Li, I'm so rude to keep you waiting." Wang Shiluo laughed.

Qiao Fei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't be so polite, Rantong is looking for you urgently."

"What's the matter?" Wang Shiluo gestured to invite in, and several people asked as they walked into the room.

The house they lived in was inconspicuous from the outside, but inside it was a house that entered once. Lin Rantong didn't care to look carefully, so he told the story.

Several people entered the room, and a handsome girl served tea. Wang Shiluo pondered for a moment and said, "It might be those guys who did it. I'll send someone to inquire and give you an answer as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Wang Shiluo called a person and gave him a few words of advice in a low voice. The person nodded while listening, and then retreated.

"Thank you, Captain Wang." Lin Rantong said.

"Captain Lin is too polite. Without Captain Lin's help back then, Shi Luo might not be able to come back. If you want to say thank you, it should be Shi Luo thanking Captain Lin." Wang Shiluo said sincerely.

"Okay, you don't want to thank me, why don't we discuss the matter of the darkness, what do you think of this darkness?" Qiao Feifei said.

The few people talked for more than an hour. When Lin Rantong signaled to Qiao Feifei that he wanted to get up and leave, the man who had walked out before came back in a hurry and said, "Captain, there is a result."

"What?" Wang Shiluo asked immediately.

"We went to ask the Tiger Head Gang, and it really was that gang of boys who did it. We heard that it was ours, so we let them go obediently immediately." The man said.

"Where are they?" Wang Shiluo asked.

"We brought them back and put them in Room One, except—"

"Just what?" Lin Rantong had already stood up and asked.

"They have suffered a lot. They are not in a good condition now. Fortunately, they went early. If they were a day or two late, with the means of those guys, their lives would probably be ruined." The man said.

Lin Rantong glanced at Wang Shiluo.

Master Wang hurriedly said, "Let's go and have a look."

Several people came to the guest room, opened the door and entered. Several people were cleaning their wounds there. The water used to wash the towels had long since turned blood red.

Lin Rantong glanced at it and asked, "Where's that girl?"

"The girl is in another room. They have wounds all over their bodies. They have to take off their clothes to treat them. It's inconvenient to be together." The man replied.

"Brother, can you take me to see that girl?" Lin Rantong asked politely.

"Captain Lin, please follow me."

The man led Lin Rantong to another room. He knocked on the door but didn't go in. A girl opened the door and welcomed Lin Rantong in.

As soon as Lin Rantong entered the door, he saw Ding Mo lying on the bed dying. The oval face that had always been flushed and full of health and vitality in his memory was pale at this time, and the clothes on his body were rips. Yes, very miserable.

When Ding Mo heard the movement, he managed to open his eyes. Seeing that it was Lin Rantong, his eyes got wet, and he said in a crying voice, "Rantong."
