Chapter 1699 New clues
The old man saw this.

I do feel a little guilty.

Had she misunderstood this young man before?

This young man seems to have a good relationship with Xiao Li?
"that."

She spoke up.

"Fortunately, all previous payments have been settled."

The young man looked relieved and said, "I thought it would be best if we could just pay for the goods."

"Who knows what accidents might happen if we drag it?"

The young man shook his head.

Then he noticed the old man's strange expression and couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, what did you just say?"

The young man suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear it."

But he didn't care either.

"Thank you for telling me this."

"It's such a shame."

"Weizi is still so young."

"So, you should be smart in your daily life."

The young man said a few words to himself, then smiled at the old woman, "Old lady, since Weizi is gone, I am fine too."

"I am leaving."

"Goodbye."

"Why-"

The old man stretched out his hand to call the young man.

But the young man took big steps, and soon his figure disappeared from the old man's sight.

".Alas~"

The old man withdrew his hand.

Then sighed.

What friend?
This young man is simply incomprehensible.

what.

The old man looked stunned.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

In the end, she still didn't know why the young man wanted to see Xiao Li?

But nothing matters anymore.

Xiao Li is gone.

Death is like a lamp going out.

When a person dies, there is nothing.

And the lives of the living must go on.

She shook her head.

"That's what it is."

The old man said with some regret, "If you had come earlier, you could have asked him in person."

Meng Jixi also felt a little regretful about this.

However, discovering new clues is already a pleasant surprise.

He looked at the girl and said, "Xiu Xiu, this time it's really thanks to you that you lost something."

The girl blinked.

Thanks to her?
It seems... a little bit.

The girl smiled.

The guilt I felt for wasting everyone's time due to my carelessness was relieved a lot.

I also understood the meaning of what Master Xiao said before.

……

"I think we have you to thank for losing the pendant."

……

Is that so?

Sometimes things happen so coincidentally that it's really unexpected.

The girl was very emotional.

The big almond eyes curved up.

But it was such a nice coincidence.

……

"Thank you for telling us this, old man."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"You're welcome."

The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes smoothed out.

These young people are much more polite.

With the comparison, the old man looked more kindly at Xiao Xiao and the others.

……

"Old man, we are leaving."

After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Xiao Xiao said goodbye, "Please close the door."

"Hey, good."

The old man nodded in response.

Then, as if remembering something, the old man showed a bit of curiosity on his face, "Are you going to look for that young man?"

"Ah."

Meng Jixi spoke first.

The old man's words confirmed his guess.

There is an evil aura about that man.

Met Li Wei again.

Meng Jixi didn't believe that there would be no clues to solve the case from the man.

Meng Jixi clenched his hands hanging at his sides.

I felt a little excited.

He took a deep breath.

Mountain darkly, vista.

A new breakthrough has emerged. …

"oh oh."

The old man nodded.

"Then you go quickly."

"I won't waste your time any more."

The old man waved to the crowd.

"Thank you, old man."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye grandma."

Everyone said goodbye to the old man.

Looking at the young people hurrying down the stairs, the old man smiled.

What an energetic young man.

……

Just as he was about to walk out of the apartment building, Meng Jixi stopped.

He turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Master Xiao."

"Where should we go to find the man now?"

There was a certainty in his tone, and he had no doubt at all whether Master Xiao knew the answer to this question.

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"follow me."

……

Half an hour later, Xiao Xiao stopped at the door of a chess and card room.

"here?"

Meng Jixi looked around.

This is a chess and card room located in a residential area.

Next to it is a small shop selling drinks and snacks.

An aunt was lying on a recliner watching TV.

The electric fan next to it was whirring and making a very loud noise.

……

Meng Jixi walked forward and pushed open the door of the chess and card room.

Suddenly, the cold air, along with the noisy voices and the sound of mahjong tiles rubbing together, rang in the ears of several people.

This commotion also attracted the attention of the shop owner.

"Hey, who are you?"

The proprietress stood up and walked quickly to the young people.

"Is there a problem?"

She looked at the young men with suspicion.

"This is the card room."

She opened this chess and card room by separating out a room in the small shop.

The main thing is that the small shop’s business is barely doing well now.

She thought about opening a chess and card room to have more sources of income.

Because her chess and card room is located in a residential area, most of the customers are residents of the community.

And they are all middle-aged and elderly people who have some free time and money.

Young people rarely come to her chess and card room to play.

Especially these young people who don’t seem to be good at playing cards.

If it was like the one just now, she wouldn't find it so strange.

But these few made the proprietress frown.

Yes……

An idea suddenly came to the proprietress's mind.

She thought of a possibility.

"Are you here to look for someone?"

There were also children who came here to look for their grandfather to go home for dinner...

……

"Ah."

Meng Jixi nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The boss lady is really smart."

The lady boss couldn't help but smile, "Oh, what's so smart about that?"

“Young people today just know how to talk.”

"Then you guys go in."

The proprietress waved her hand and said, "Just close the door when you go in."

"It's hot now."

"If the door is open a little longer, the people inside will start to scream."

She looked around the room.

There aren't many card tables inside.

Just three tables.

Everyone was concentrating on playing cards seriously.

Except for the initial peek outside when the door was pushed open.

Afterwards, they all looked completely focused, oblivious to what was happening outside.

The proprietress smiled and made room at the door.

She lay back down on the recliner.

After knowing the purpose of the young people, she no longer paid more attention to them.

……

The room was somewhat smoky.

Chi Xiuchuan frowned and turned around to say something to Chi Xiu Ke, when he saw his sister following Master Xiao into the house.

He shook his head, looking somewhat helpless.

But he didn't say anything, but followed the girl into the house.

Then he turned and closed the door.

　ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
