「knew.

I’ve already seen it.」

Alex didn’t know if it was because he had been in contact with this demon for a long time, he naturally saw some unclean things.

「Let’s go now.」

Of course Libby had to escort the man away, after all, the woman in the room looked aggressive.

「Luke, this room doesn’t work.

listen to me.」

Alex said this as soon as he returned to the living room, but he couldn’t tell the real reason now.

「Miss Li.

How much is this house bid?

2 million.」

Fang Zhong is indeed eager to sell this house.

She is obviously lying, but it seems a bit too much.

「It’s ok.

Then the two of us will look at other houses.」

Luke didn’t want to listen to Alex’s opinion, besides, he brought Alex here.

「Maybe we will make an appointment next time.

Because I can only see two rooms today.」

This Miss Li is not bad, she didn’t force them to buy this house.

「So let’s do this for the first time today.

If there is anything, please call.」

Luke wanted to take Alex to experience other Taiwanese culture.

「OK.

Mr. Lu.

goodbye」

Miss Li escorted the two guests all the way to the place where they met.

Besides, it was already one o’clock in the afternoon after seeing the house.

They said goodbye here.

「Alex, I will take you to the convenience store.

Settle lunch by the way.」

Luke couldn’t wait to try to buy things there, but of course he was carrying the Alex who would only dislike it.

「I don’t eat strange things.」

Alex was obviously reluctant, but he still followed Luke automatically.

「 We will probably be there after a short walk.

It only takes thirty minutes.」

Fang Zhong originally wanted to use transportation instead, but these two didn’t have transportation, so this is the only way for the time being.

「No way.

It’s in the alley again.」

Alex didn’t like the house in the alley very much, because when he came back at night, the whole road must be dark, and there would be no lights.

「This is it.

Come, please come in.」

However, the place where Fangzhong came this time is quite in line with Luke’s conditions.

Although this is also an apartment, it is a community with elevators and stairs.

The floor reached this time is the fifth floor.

I heard from the Fang Zhong that the total number of residents here is only fourteen, and the floor is only up to the seventh floor.

It looks okay so far.

Did not see any dissatisfaction.

When I entered the room, I saw a whole black wall and nothing else.

It was empty inside, and there was no furniture. I don’t know if the owner has already moved out.

You can just see the entire layout of the house.

「This is a very old apartment, it has been here since the 30th year of the Republic of China.

But don’t worry, they are all maintained regularly.」

Fang Zhong led them to look around, planning to study it from the living room first.

「It’s better than the previous one, but the house feels uncomfortable.」

When Alex entered this place, he always had a goosebump reaction, and the sun didn’t seem to get into the house.

「How is it, are you satisfied?」

Fang Zhong couldn’t understand what Alex was talking about, but she thought they meant that they liked the house very much.

「Alex, how about here.

The kitchen is exactly the size I want, or an L-shaped kitchen.

Although the floor is covered with tiles, you only need to modify it at that time.」

Luke seemed very satisfied.

Besides, although it is some distance away from the MRT, it is still acceptable.

「I don’t want you to live in this kind of house.

hold on.

Let me look at it again.」

Alex seemed to have to find out what was wrong with this house, he even went to the master bedroom alone.

「I advise you not to let that man live here.

There is a woman who committed suicide in this house you are in.

She was still hanging herself, she was staring fiercely now.」

Libby felt it was necessary to remind him, after all, this man cares about his friend, so it suddenly came out.

「Turns out this is the apartment, but it seems too old.

The stairs also looked messy.

At first glance, it is not suitable for living in the road, but obviously it is not.」

Alex and the others have patrolled the house several times, and they have even seen the kitchen.

Although there are other spaces in the kitchen that look good, the wall seems to be cracked.

There is even the phenomenon of paint falling off, that is, I don’t know how the road will express my feelings about this house.

「How do you like this one.」

Luke was obviously asking for Alex’s ideas, after all, he was also the person responsible for providing advice.

「not good.」

Alex said with a silent shaking of his head, which meant that he was not very satisfied, but it was too straightforward and not so good.

「What’s the price for this room.」

The reason Luke asked was just to compare prices, not to really decide to buy immediately.

「5.35 million.

I don’t know if the two gentlemen are satisfied.」

The Fang Zhong wanted to sell the house as soon as possible.

After all, it would be good for this old-fashioned apartment to be sold.

「Let’s go then.

Go to the next one.」

Luke doesn’t like this house very much, and there is no elevator here, so it must be very inconvenient to get in and out.

「OK.」

Fang Zhong was originally full of joy, but the two guests obviously didn’t want to sign a contract, so they had to give up.

Although this house has all the functions that it should have, the fault is that it is not convenient enough.

It is not that I don’t like it, but the condition of the road is that it must have convenient transportation.

He had said very clearly from the beginning, Fang Zhong should understand and be considerate, after all, they are the customers, and no one can force them to make their own decisions.

「Very good, wait for the second house to be like this too.

You say you have to think about it again.」

Alex only needs to do this well, and he will definitely make his own judgment on other things.

「certainly.」

Luke believed in Alex’s judgment very much.

He believed that Alex would help him find the house he wanted.

Besides, his instincts were always good.

名利跑馬燈〈慫恿〉333利

「Ice cream black tea and passion fruit green tea.

Which one do you want.」

Luke asked Alex to choose first, after all, he decided the taste he wanted without authorization.

「Passion fruit is ready.

I haven’t drunk this.」

Alex hadn’t even eaten this fruit.

After all, he didn’t go to the restaurant or went to sleep in the restaurant every day.

To be honest, he really didn’t have time to try it.

「It’s delicious.

It’s cold.

The taste is also very creamy.」

Obviously this was a very good taste, and the two of them started to drink as soon as they stood downstairs.

「Passion fruit is sweet and sour.

But it’s pretty good with refreshing green tea.」

Alex was very surprised, he was also praised this time, but he usually said these things stingly.

「Mr. Lu, here you are.

This is your friend, right?」

The real estate agent has been waiting in the store for a long time, but he will inevitably not notice the drinks in their hands.

「Yes.

Just call him Alex.」

Luke was drinking with relish, and a cup of hand shake was almost wiped out by him.

「Shall we go now?」

The housing agency couldn’t wait to introduce them to the house, so he only took a briefcase and planned to leave.

「Luke, wait a minute to remember.

If he keeps persuading you to buy a house.

Just say you have to think again.」

Of course, Alex said in a low voice, or whispered close to his ears, for fear of being heard by the housekeeper.

「 receive.

I will pay attention.」

Luke listened to Alex for everything, after all, he couldn’t decide such a big thing by himself.

「We can walk to that house.」

Although Fang Zhong is a woman, she is a person who loves to laugh very much.

I don’t know if it is because they are guests.

「Is this this house?」

The first apartment Luke saw was an old apartment, and it was still in the alley, and they had to climb stairs.

「Yes, this house is about 50 pings.

Mr. Lu, I looked for it in accordance with your requirements.

There are three rooms and one toilet.」

The Fang Zhong’s information was already prepared, but they just didn’t spread it out so that Alex and the others could understand.

「thanks.」

“Luke didn’t expect the people here to be so enthusiastic, he was moved for a while and he didn’t know what to do.”

「Will not.

follow me.

Let’s cross the road first.」

“The female passerby was really very kind.

According to the address above, she took them to the vicinity of Xinyi’s house, and it was not far away, maybe only ten minutes away.

Then they left under their watch. ”

「I’m so thirsty.

I don’t know if there is any water to drink around here.」

“Luke wanted to say that it was still too early to the agreed time anyway, so it’s better to find a place to rest and find a drink by the way.”

「How about that.

I heard Frank say that there seems to be a hand-cranked drink shop in Taiwan.」

“Next to Alex and the others, there happened to be a clerk selling drinks. ”

「我去問問看。

你們店內主推什麼飲料。」

路可剛開始的對話都還可以，店員好像也都聽的很明白。

「我們店裡主推冰淇淋紅茶。

還有百香果多多綠茶。

因為正好是夏季。」

店員本來開始還被嚇到，畢竟是外國人，也不是所有台灣人都會講英文，不過還好會講中文，那她就放心了。

「好，就這兩個。

各一杯。」

路可連考慮都沒有，就自己全權決定，也不管艾力克斯他的意見。

「好的，那麼是要大杯、中杯、還是小杯。

還有是要無糖、微糖、半糖，還是全糖。

再來冰塊需要加多少，是要少冰、微冰，還是去冰。」

不過店員接下來又問了一堆會讓路可崩潰的難題，很顯然路可傻住了。

「那就都大杯的，半糖微冰。」

路可只能依照自己的直覺，隨便選兩種，反正艾力克斯肯定也不會知道的。

「好了。

這兩杯是什麼口味。

一人一杯如何。」

等了將近二十多分鐘，才等到路可拿著飲料走過來，艾力克斯就站在原地等待，他一步都沒有動過，當然就更不會知道路可點了什麼。

「Let’s go.

I’m ready.」

“Even if Alex wanted to refuse, it was useless.

After all, he had already agreed to something, how could he go back.”

「Do you have a leisure card?

Otherwise, we have to go all the way back and forth, it will be very troublesome.」

“Luke quickly took out the leisure card, but it was a little dog. ”

「what is that.

Do we need it?

Not just go there and buy a ticket.」

“Of course Alex didn’t understand.

He even sat for the first time, so he wouldn’t know.”

「I knew you would be like this.

I have asked Frank to buy two of them.

As long as there is this, either by bus or MRT.

But we need to add value first.」

“What Luke prepared for Alex was a pattern of a teddy bear. ”

「Then hurry up.

We must start early.

Besides, wait a minute to find a way.」

“What Alex is more worried about now is that he can’t find the address, after all, the two of them have never been so far from the restaurant.”

「OK.」

On the contrary, Luke was looking forward to waiting to see the house.

After all, the new house always makes people yearn for. ”

「strangeness.

Isn’t it here?

I remember it clearly is here.」

“Although Luke followed Frank’s instructions to reach the MRT Mushan Station smoothly, they were still lost in the process of finding their way.”

「I want to ask passers-by how.

Maybe they will know.」

“Because Luke couldn’t figure out the way, they had been around here for a while, of course, it was still a long time before the agreed time, plus it was a lively place. ”

「Do you know this location?」

Of course Luke speaks in Chinese, after all, he wants to practice his pronunciation.”

「Here.

Very close to the MRT station.

I’ll take you there.」

Passers-by are happy to help people, especially foreign faces, they may like to help. ”

「Okay, come on, let’s continue.」

“Alex is now discussing with Luke in the hotel, lest it will be bad if something goes wrong tomorrow.”

「say what.」

“Luke was yawning, obviously he wanted to go to bed early, after all, he had an appointment to see the house tomorrow. ”

「Simply put, do you want to buy a house or rent a house.」

“Alex always needs to understand this, so he can give Luke some advice tomorrow.

After all, two foreign talents have only been here for a year, and there are still some who don’t understand.”

「I want to buy a house.」

“Luke has decided to settle here, after all, he really likes the food and fruit. ”

「What is the budget for buying a house.

You think about it.」

“Alex went on to talk about the next question.

After all, this can’t be decided casually, and always be cautious.”

「Within ten million.」

“Luke knew that Alex would definitely ask this, so he had even calculated this. ”

「Then you need convenient transportation and close to the city.

We still have to be in the suburbs, and there are no neighbors around.」

“Alex has done his homework in particular, of course, these are all asked Frank in private, after all, their opinions are more useful.”

「Convenient transportation, it is better to be closer to the restaurant.」

“Luke hadn’t thought of this, but he reacted immediately, besides, he had to be more cautious about this matter. ”

「That’s okay.

We will talk about the rest tomorrow.

Good night.」

“Alex got Luke’s answer, and he already had a general idea in his mind, plus he got a lot of useful information from Frank.”

「The two went to sleep on a tired day.

Alex, how are you?

We will find a location later.」

“Luke got up early and even finished breakfast.

After all, it was the first time they took the MRT today in their lives. ”

「Can’t we drive?

Why do you have to take the MRT?

What if you get lost?」

“Of course Alex heard Luke’s call.

Although he was reluctant, he got up from the comfortable bed.”

「Of course I know you have a car.

But you don’t think it’s good to experience the MRT today.」

“Luke didn’t know which tendon was wrong, and he had to walk past whatever he said. ”

「 This time the opponent is difficult to deal with, you must know that it is not easier than the last time.」

“Libby simply tried his best to convince the man, after all, it had been some time since the last murder.”

「Of course I know what you said.

But I have to wait until I find his weakness.」

“Although Alex had also thought of killing people, the problem was that he wanted to beat Xinlin by himself. ”

「You know that time waits for no one.

Maybe when you are still hesitating, he has defeated you.」

“Libby thinks this is something that will happen sooner or later.

It just feels that if this man doesn’t have himself, he will be in a slump.”

「You look down on me like that.

Besides, I am the one who serves you.」

“Alex seemed to be excited by Libby, but the more Libby was like this, the less he wanted to be obedient. ”

「This is actually true.

The game at that time was not fair.」

“You thought that without me, you would have succeeded today.

Of course, Libby didn’t say the following sentence, because he knew that this man didn’t like to listen.”

「Shut up.

I know.

You don’t have to keep reminding me.」

“Alex really didn’t like to listen.

When he talked about this, his face turned green.

He was already in a bad mood, and this demon had to be like this. ”

「There is a human smell.

I should be going.」

“Libby accidentally told the truth.

Although it was like this, this man has always been like this.”

“Anyway, as long as you calm down for a day, nothing will happen.

Now it is better to run away.

Libby was right, and it was the smell of an acquaintance, and he seemed to be gradually approaching the door.”

Alex can only pretend that he is still in the ledger, which is a better way to conceal his emotions. ”

「Alex, who were you talking to just now?

It’s not that you see the illusion again.

Do you need to see a doctor?」

“When Luke came to the hall, he first doubted Alex’s psychological condition, and was afraid of what happened to him.”

「No, I am fine.

I was just talking to myself.

Because the restaurant is too busy recently, I have to practice ordering for customers.

And what do you want me to do.」

“Alex knew this reason was blind, but if it was Luke, he might believe it. ”

「It turned out to be so.

Oh, I’m looking for you to see the house.

The last real estate agency contacted me and said that he could take me to see the house tomorrow.」

“Luke wanted to say that he would go to see Alex with him, and it would feel more secure.”

「OK.

Then I have to talk to Xiaowen first.」

“Alex thought that there should be no problem with Xiaowen, so he agreed. ”

名利跑馬燈〈滿意〉328利

「Are you satisfied with this meeting?

There is the news you want.」

“That night, Libby arrived punctually after get off work, and asked the most curious questions as soon as he came out.”

「Of course not satisfied.

There is no good news I want.」

“Because of this, Alex puts on a stinky face, as long as he is in a bad mood, it is logically easy to tell. ”

「 I knew it would be like this.

It would be nice to listen to me at the beginning.

It is not easier to solve the problem directly.」

“Libby knew that Alex was just wasting his time, because this man would never listen to others.”

「You shouldn’t raise the question of murder at every turn.

You killed one last time, isn’t that enough.」

“Alex certainly didn’t agree with Libby’s rude way, which obviously didn’t help. ”

「 if not.

This is the most direct and effective solution.」

“Libby and Alex obviously have different opinions, after all, they are a demon, and they think about it in the same way.”

「Ugh.」

“Alex just sighed sadly.

It seemed that today would be another day of restless sleep.

At least for Alex, he needs trouble at the moment. ”

「Hello, is it Mr. Lu?

My name is Li and I am a housing agency.

Do you have time tomorrow?

Maybe we can make an appointment to see the house.」

“It seems that the method recommended by Frank is really useful, but it takes a little longer.”

「No problem at all.

And can I take another person?」

“Luke plans to ask for a day off from the store tomorrow and bring his most trusted friends with him. ”

「Yes, as long as Mr. Lu is convenient for you.

Then we will be at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning, in front of Xinyi’s house.」

“The housing agency seems to be a young woman, but he certainly believes in the agency’s ability.

He will not discriminate against each other just because he is a woman.”

「OK.」

“As soon as Luke hung up, he went from the hotel room to the next room.

He thought it was necessary to tell Alex the good news. ”

每當假日的時候，小林總會帶著這些員工來孤兒院一起做公益，而且是全天候都在為這些孩子服務。

雖然是安先生安排的，但是戲還是要做足的，要想讓人看不出馬腳來，就要演好演滿。

小林既是為了家人的安危，更是為了自己那已經被懷疑的身份，要知道這場戲要是失敗，那麼不僅是他自己會有危險，連他的妻女也會有危險。

「來，你們拿著自己的碗，排成兩排隊伍，一排來裝白飯，一排來裝菜。」

小林可是一大早就起來準備這些食材，就是為了今天而來的。

「好。」

只見孤兒院的孩子們都很開心，畢竟已經好久沒有吃到這些豐盛的菜色，不僅有肉也有魚，甚至還有海鮮，綠色蔬菜。

甜點也有好幾種，像是椰奶西米露，仙草凍，豆花，也有現烤的黑糖糕，反正都會是孩子們喜歡的東西。

當然餐廳的員工更不會抱怨，畢竟他們是每年都來，只不過是跟著安老闆過來，今天就不一樣，換了一個新的老闆。

「Have you found his weakness?」

“When Alex meets with Mr. Wang every week, he asks this sentence first.

After all, this matter is very important to him.”

「no.

Sir, have you ever thought that maybe he is really a good person.

Every holiday, he will personally take employees to the orphanage to do charity.

Even donating money.」

“This detective thinks so too.

As long as he understands more deeply, he feels that Xinlin is a good person. ”

「You are speaking for him now.

You have to figure out that you are doing things for me.

Forget it, that’s it for today.

Hope to hear good news next time.」

Alex had heard enough of Xinlin’s good words, but he didn’t want to listen any more, so it’s better to end this topic early.

「Mr. Ai… Mr.

唉，怎麼不付錢再走。

難怪人家都說有錢人小氣。」

偵探在艾力克斯之後，還不忘再抱怨幾句他的壞話，彷彿要罵夠了才甘心。
