Chapter 1467: Doomed
"Hey... forget it, I can't hide anything from you, so I'll tell the truth." The owner of the house said seriously, "There are not only other people's information in this room, but also mine."
He stood up and came to a shabby bookshelf.
He skillfully pulled out a notepad from it and spread it out in front of Lin Ran.
"Xu Yan, known as the Half-Immortal of Nanling, was an extremely accurate fortune teller. He was mysteriously murdered at home on June 1983, 6. The murderer has not yet been found. After investigation, it was found that on that day he had met with Guan Yun (Information No. 12) and Hong Let’s meet at Da (Information [-]).”
Lin Ran felt horrified when he saw the words above.
I quickly dug out the corresponding information and found complete information about Yun and Hongda. It even recorded the conflict between Guan Yun and the developer and the murder in his hands, but there was a question mark at the end: "The case is suspicious and no accountability will be held for the time being." .
After seeing this information, Lin Ran felt like he was struck by lightning.
Even a police station in the 21st century would not be able to record the information so closely, and the job of the public security station is to investigate cases, so how could it not hold people accountable for the time being.
All kinds of questions lingered in Lin Ran's heart.
"I feel relieved knowing that you are from the Ministry of Chinese Language and Culture." The owner of the house, Xu Yan, breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe there will be recording errors in the information. At least before today, I didn't know that there would be another person named Lin Xing’s people show up.”
He originally thought that he was destined to die today and that he was doomed.
"Since you knew something would happen today, why didn't you leave home?" Lin Ran asked.
Even a fool knows that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.
"You think I haven't thought about leaving?" Xu Yan looked helpless, "I actually left Nanling three days ago, after Ningliu was captured, but for some reason, I woke up at home again today."
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Ran obviously couldn't believe it. It was simply a supernatural phenomenon. No one would believe it. It was as baseless as fortune telling.
"Believe it or not," Xu Yan said, "I guess this is fate. Everyone's life is written on it and it cannot be changed."
Lin Ran lowered his head and thought for a while.
Xu Yan stood up and said: "However, I finally saw some changes today. At least you did not appear in these books, and I don't have any information about you."
Lin Ran originally wanted to tell his name. Maybe there were records of him in these books.
On second thought, things in ancient tombs often look beautiful, but are actually a curse.
The more you know, the more you understand how terrifying it is.
Xu Yan stood up and said, "The man named Guan Yun is here to find out the whereabouts of the developer. That man's name is..."
"Wait." Lin Ran interrupted him directly.
"What? You don't want to know?" Xu Yan was stunned. There was almost no one in Nanling City who didn't want to get the results of his fortune telling.
"I don't want to." Lin Ran said firmly, "Let me make a guess. Do the people you tell fortunes usually live very soon?"
Hearing this, Xu Yan froze.
He had not considered this issue before. The most recent fortune telling was for a wealthy businessman. He directly resisted and received two sacks of money, each containing 5 yuan.
A total of 10, asking him to calculate the competitors' chips.
Xu Yan naturally told the wealthy businessman the news, and then the wealthy businessman won the bid at the lowest price, forcing his competitors into a desperate situation.
Xu Yan saw the news about Fushang Group in the newspaper and was still happily waiting for him to repay him at home.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, I saw the news of the fire in the newspaper. The wealthy businessman and his family attended a celebration banquet. As a result, the liquefied gas tank exploded, and their whole family was killed in the sea of fire.
Only then did Xu Yan think of finding the information on the wealthy businessman, and the death record suddenly appeared on it.
From this incident, he learned the lesson: the information is for reference only.
But he didn't consider the curse.
Lin Ran saw the change in Xu Yan's expression and already guessed the result.
"Maybe the so-called predicting the future is just a deal made by the devil." Lin Ran said.
"This..." Xu Yan still couldn't believe it.
"I'll give you a suggestion. Burn everything here. Maybe you can save your life."
Lin Ran originally just wanted to see how this guy knew other people's information. More importantly, Liu Jingfeng's name appeared on the bill.
Recalling the personal grudge between Liu Jingfeng and Liu Jingfeng mentioned by the gallery owner earlier in the gallery.
Liu Jingfeng's life experience began to become blurry in Lin Ran's mind.
He originally thought about stopping by to investigate, but after seeing the changes in Xu Yan, he gave up the idea.
"Uh..." Xu Yan was hesitant. This was the foundation of his life, so he was naturally reluctant to part with it.
Lin Ran didn't bother to explain to him, "You can figure it out yourself."
Then, regardless of Xu Yan's thoughts, he walked out of the basement.
Guan Yun and the other two were waiting outside. They thought it would take a long time to interrogate the prisoner, but they didn't expect Lin Ran to come out so quickly.
"Mr. Lin, my matter..." Guan Yun asked anxiously, he wanted to know the answer too much.
"He is just a charlatan." Lin Ran replied lightly.
"But he knows my name?"
"That's because he investigated in advance." After Lin Ran finished speaking, he got on the motorcycle.
After the 21st century, many places have banned motorcycles. There are not many vehicles on the road in this era, and the feeling of riding a motorcycle in the wind makes him very comfortable.
"Then the matter will not be pursued?" Hongda looked at Xu Yan in confusion.
Xu Yan looked relieved and sent them to the door of the courtyard, as if they were not intruders but Xu Yan's distinguished guests.
"You'd better deal with the matter I told you." Lin Ran put on his helmet and reminded Xu Yan again before starting the motorcycle.
"Okay, I will consider it." Xu Yan said happily, as long as these plague gods can be sent away.
As for the information in the basement, he would be a fool to burn it, and people will rely on him to make money in the future.
The information may not be accurate, but it is the best as a reference, and he can still maintain the title of half-immortal.
After sending Lin Ran and others away, Xu Yan returned home, ready to drink tea and take a bath to calm down his shock.
But I found someone sitting on the sofa.
Xu Yan was startled. Just as he was about to shout, someone covered his mouth from behind.
Outside the window, the sound of Lin Ran's motorcycles had just faded away.
Back at the villa, Lin Ran never mentioned the previous incident again.
After obtaining the account book, Hongda's men successfully retrieved most of the antiques.
Buyers were initially very angry when they found out that what they had in their hands was a fake, but when they heard that someone was willing to take back the fake at a high price, they were totally willing.
The counterfeit buyback plan went smoothly. Anyway, the money was provided by Hongda and had nothing to do with Lin Ran.
