"Oil painting?"
Lu Xin was slightly startled and cast a curious look at his sister.
The fat manager Liu was standing next to him. It was hard for him to speak directly to his sister.
My younger sister was excited because she saw some little secrets, so she was very cooperative and said: "Yes, I just heard the woman tell the old man that she saw the oil painting. , so it became what it was before. The old man looked a little nervous and quickly asked her which one it was, and she said it was from the batch brought back from the wasteland search team outside the city."
"It was covered with a piece of black cloth and framed with a simple wooden frame."
"He also said that when he went to pick up the goods, all the people in the wasteland search team were already dead. It looked like they had a fight and shot each other to death. The scene was very chaotic. The oil painting was at the scene and was not on the list they gave at the beginning..."
" ..."
Lu Xin nodded slowly and calmly, turned around half-way, and winked at his sister.
This means: "Keep listening!"
My sister nodded excitedly and crawled back happily.
The door opened slightly and then closed slightly. No one knew that my sister had slipped back in.
Lu Xin pondered for a while and suddenly said: "This Mr. Xu looks very rich."
The fat man next to him was slightly startled and replied with a smile. : "Mr. Xu is very prestigious even in the main city."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "I just saw many beautiful paintings hanging in his living room. There are also statues and the like."
The fat manager Liu was a little surprised: "Mr. Shan Bing also knows art?"
Lu Xin nodded and said, "I followed him when I was a kid. The teacher has learned a little bit, he just knows it."
"This is already amazing"
The fat manager Liu nodded repeatedly, then laughed and said, "You saw it well. , Mr. Xu should be one of the few people who still understands the precious value of artworks after the disaster, and has devoted his life to searching for and protecting them."
"You also know that now everyone knows! As we are committed to the reconstruction of civilization and order, and art is an indispensable part of our culture, everyone pays more and more attention to the art before the disaster. However, during the initial collapse of civilization, These things were once considered worthless and were thrown away in abandoned cities like garbage..."
"To put it bluntly, many people at that time did not think that there was a chance for civilization to be rebuilt. "
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and said: "Then how does Mr. Xu usually collect those works of art?"
The fat man? Manager Liu glanced at Lu Xin, and then said with a smile: "I don't know about this, but if Mr. Shan Bing is also interested in art, we can have more contacts in the future, no matter what you plan to do,Whether it's selling or collecting, I have some connections..."
Lu Xin just said "hmm" noncommittally.
But in her heart, she gradually figured out something. .
If what he expected was true, the art collected by the Xu family should be illegal.
There are many waste-recovery teams in the satellite city, and this is the case today. The highest-paying, but also relatively high-risk type of job in the port city.
The task of these waste-recovery teams is to explore the old cities one by one and collect available resources.
There are many types of waste search teams, and their formation forms are even more diverse.
Some are commissioned by the Qinggang City Administration Department, and some are commissioned by some companies or private individuals.
< p>The wasteland search team mentioned by the father and daughter is to help them collect various works of art?……
……
Then from From the conversation relayed by my sister just now, you should be able to guess clearly that the waste-recovery team got some things that their father and daughter wanted, so Mr. Xu’s daughter Xu Xiaoxiao went to receive them, but when they arrived at the place, they found that the waste-recovery team The team was all dead, and at the scene, a painting was found that was not in their collection plan, but she still brought it back.
It was precisely because she saw the painting. That's why such a big problem happened.
This makes sense.
As Mr. Xu said, the main city is extremely difficult to defend. What special pollution sources can enter the main city from the outside world, and his daughter has no chance to come into contact with these special pollution sources, so how did she become contaminated?
The reason is simple, naturally it was her? I came into contact when I was out of the city...
...
...
While Lu Xin was thinking slowly, the door of the living room was opened.
Mr. Xu appeared at the door on crutches. He looked a little nervous, but he hid it well. He smiled and nodded to Lu Xin and said, "Thanks to Mr. Shanbing this time. , the little girl has recovered, but she is still very weak now. In order for her to get better care, I plan to take her back to the main city overnight to recuperate... And the reward this time, I will definitely..."
Lu Xin took a look and saw Xu Xiaoxiao leaning on the sofa through the open door.
She had just been cured and should be in a state of extreme mental exhaustion. , but she kept looking outside nervously.
Her eyes gave people a vague feeling of fear, but also extremely greedy.
Shaking her head slightly, Lu Xin said. : “Now is not the time to collect payment. "
Mr. Xu was slightly startled and said hesitantly: "Mr. Shanbing means..."
"Your matter has not really been resolved yet! "
Lu Xin said: "The source of the pollution has not been dealt with yet, how can I collect money now. "
"This..."
Mr. Xu looked at Lu Xin's sincere face and was slightly surprised. He paused and then chuckled softly: "Haha, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Shanbing, but I think you don't have to go to such trouble. I just said I asked my daughter carefully and found that she had not been exposed to anything strange. It was just because she was under too much pressure before that she had such a rebellious experience..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shanbing, this is That's the end of the matter. Even if there is a problem, I won't blame you."
After saying that, he paused slightly and said, "When Mr. Shanbing reports, you can write like this, and there will be no problem. "Yes!"
After hearing his words, the fat manager Liu on the side was also a little strange.
He interrupted with a smile and said: "Since Mr. Xu said so, the commission can end here..."
As he spoke, he turned to Lu Xin: "This A one-time reward..."
Listening to their words, Lu Xin frowned slightly.
The sister on the side appeared quietly behind Mr. Xu, hung upside down on the door frame, swayed towards Lu Xin and said with a smile: "Brother, brother, they just discussed that we should secretly Bring the oil painting that she hid away for research..."
"She said that the painting is very valuable and must not be known to others..."
"..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly.
Facing the smiling faces of Mr. Xu and Fat Manager Liu, he slowly shook his head: "This is not okay."
"Work must be taken seriously."
p>Then he raised his head, and the lights around the villa shone high on his face, making his face glow in different shades. The eyes in the shadows looked over quietly, looking a little strange. He said seriously: "Since I accepted your entrustment and collected your money, of course I will completely solve the problem for you, whether it is the contaminated person or the source of the pollution."
"The previous In the contract, it is clearly stated that the one hundred thousand reward will only be obtained if the patient is completely cured, isn't it?"
"..."
The atmosphere has become a little subtle.
Both Mr. Xu and the fat manager Liu looked a little stunned, feeling that there was something wrong with the interpretation of the contract.
Lu Xin looked at them quietly.
He couldn't understand why he lied and hid secretly even though he knew it was these dangerous things...
Are these Xu family fathers and daughters mentally ill?
