Chapter 320 Not Monolithic
"No one was secretly instigating me, really," I explained, shaking my head vigorously, "Edward, did you misunderstand something?!"
"Don't be afraid, to be honest, I can guarantee your safety..."
Hearing Edward say this made me even more nervous!
Because his subtext is that Edward's competitor seems dangerous?
This matter seems to be more complicated than I thought, and I don’t want to be someone else’s cannon fodder!
Seeing that I was silent again, Edward slowly bowed down and brought his face close to mine...
In fact, his big aquiline nose almost touched my face!
Edward suddenly lowered his voice and asked sinisterly: "Ma Jun, just tell the truth. Is that old guy instigating you secretly?"
Old guy?!
Who is the old guy talking about?!
I asked: "Wait, who are you talking about the old guy?"
Edward stared into my eyes without blinking: "Haha, are you pretending to be confused?"
I really don't know what he means?
But from the other person's eyes, it seems that I can feel that the old guy and I have met before...
It seems that I can guess who the "old guy" he is talking about is?
After all, I only know a few people, so few that I can count them on two hands.
I asked Edward in surprise: "The old guy you are talking about, doesn't it mean Mrs. Sato?"
"snort……"
Edward didn't answer me clearly, he just smiled faintly.
Although he didn't say anything, from the look on his face, I knew I had guessed it right!
turn out to be……
On the surface, Edward and Mrs. Sato are completely loving mothers and filial piety, but in fact, their family is not monolithic.
Unexpectedly, I was kidnapped once and found out such an important clue!!!
Now I finally feel nervous!
The reason why I am nervous is because these people are too complicated!
Therefore, if I want to get rid of others' suspicion, I must first clarify myself!
So I started to shake my head harder, and explained to Edward seriously: "Edward, I tell you very solemnly, no one has instigated me, and I am not targeting you. In fact, I am here to investigate a person. That person
It's the Snow Mountain Flying Fox. Because you always hang out with him, when I checked on him, you were implicated... So... ahem, you were accidentally injured..."
In fact, when I said this, it was half true and false. It is impossible to say that I have no doubts about Edward.
But now that I am tied up, I can only say something to make the other party less disgusted, and put all the blame on the Snow Mountain Flying Fox, so that Edward's hatred towards me will be reduced.
Anyway, I had nothing to do at that time, so I could only say this tentatively, hoping that if he said the right thing, he would let me go.
However……
After hearing what I said, Edward suddenly took a step back and looked me up and down with a strange look...
Edward's look, as if he was looking at a psychopath, immediately pissed me off. I asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?!"
"You said the person you were targeting was the Snow Mountain Flying Fox?!" Edward asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" I nodded.
"Isn't he already dead?" Edward's eyes became smaller and smaller, still staring at me closely. "He fell to his death on the rooftop of the department store. Even though he was very suspicious, everyone was already dead.
If he is dead, why are you still investigating him?!"
hiss……
Is it strange to hear what Edward said?
It feels like Edward doesn’t know much about Boss Hu?
After falling from the roof of the department store, Boss Hu did not disappear. At this time, Edward showed an unknowing expression...
Doesn't he know?!
No, no!
If Edward didn't hang out with Boss Hu, then how could Boss Hu appear around the triangular house and use holly trees to practice evil spells in the green belt around the house?
A few days ago, Taoist Qian and I, along with Er Miao, broke Boss Hu's barrier here. The thrilling experience is still vivid in my mind!
He rented this house. How could Edward not know this?
Is he deliberately hiding it from me?
"Edward, it would be pointless if you pretend to be stupid on purpose. I already know all about the things you and Boss Hu did together. There is no need for you to hide it..."
"I'm dizzy." Edward slapped his forehead. "I really don't know what you are talking about. Ever since that snowy mountain flying fox fell to his death, I have nothing to do with him at all. Besides, he is already dead."
How can I still have a relationship with him?"
I stared at Edward's mouth eagerly, as if this guy wasn't lying...
Is there something wrong with this?!
I took a deep breath to let my brain get enough oxygen so that my thoughts could be clearer.
Then I looked at Edward and said seriously: "What kind of cooperation do you have with Snow Mountain Flying Fox? Can you tell me? If you tell me the truth, I promise not to mess with you again if you buy or sell haunted houses or anything like that in the future."
, not only will I not cause trouble, but I can also help you with your business. How about we make a deal, as long as what you say makes me feel that it is the truth..."
The reason why I ask this is that I actually used some mind-attacking techniques!
You know, Edward is completely different from Boss Hu. Boss Hu is the kind of ruthless character who won't give up until he achieves his goal, and even doesn't care about his life.
And Edward is just a businessman. He does business to make money, and to make money is to make himself live a better life.
Therefore, he makes money just to live, and he will never risk his life just to achieve a certain wish!
But Boss Hu is different. It is possible that death is just a stage for him, not the end, so he is not as afraid of death as Edward and I are.
It is because he has no scruples that he does things unscrupulously, because he is not a human being at all!
When I finished speaking, Edward fell silent. He lowered his head and thought. After a while, Edward raised his head and looked at me...
I knew that what I just said might have convinced him!
"Ma Jun, I don't expect you to do anything to help me, but as long as you don't cause trouble, especially don't bring the police in, you also know that our business of doing tricks is not illegal in theory, but
Sometimes it does feel like a sideline, so you can’t involve the police anymore..."
"Yeah, I can promise you," I nodded and asked, "Now, can you tell me something I want to know?"
