"Oil painting?"
Lu Xin was slightly startled and cast a curious look at his sister.
Fatty Manager Liu was standing next to him, so it was hard for him to speak directly to his sister.
The younger sister was now excited because she had seen some little secrets, so she acted very cooperatively and said, "Yes, I just heard the woman tell the old man that she became the way she was before because she saw the oil painting. The old man seemed a little nervous and asked her quickly which one it was, and she said it was from the batch brought back from the wasteland search team outside the city."
"It's 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, the people in the wasteland search team were already dead. It seemed that they had a fight and shot each other to death. The scene was very chaotic. The oil painting was at the scene, and it was not on the list they gave at the beginning..."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded slowly and calmly, turned around halfway, and winked at his sister.
This means. "Keep listening!"
The younger sister nodded excitedly and crawled back happily.
As the breeze blew by, her shadow disappeared.
Lu Xin pondered for a while and suddenly said, "This Mr. Xu looks very rich."
The fat man next to him was slightly startled, then replied with a smile, "Mr. Xu, even in Main City, he still has a lot of status."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "I just saw many beautiful paintings and statues hanging in his living room."
Fatty Manager Liu was a little surprised. "Mr. Shan Bing also understands art?"
Lu Xin nodded and said, "I learned a little from the teacher when I was a child, I just know it."
"This is already amazing."
Fatty Manager Liu nodded repeatedly, then laughed and said, "You are right, 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 is committed to the reconstruction of civilization and order, and artworks are an indispensable part of our culture. Everyone pays more and more attention to the artworks before the disaster. However, during the period when civilization the Beginning collapsed, these things were once considered worthless and were thrown away in abandoned cities like garbage..."
"To put it bluntly, many people at that time didn't think there was a chance for civilization to be rebuilt."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Then how does this Mr. Xu usually collect those works of art?"
Fatty Manager Liu glanced at Lu Xin, and then said with a smile, "I don't know about this, but if Mr. Shanbing is also interested in art, we can have more contacts in the future. Whether you plan to sell or collect, I have some connections..."
Lu Xin just said a noncommittal "hmm".
But in my heart, I have gradually figured out some things.
If what he expected was true, the art collected by the Xu family father and daughter should be illegal.
Satellite City has many wasteland search teams, and this is the type of job that Qinggang City has the highest income, but the risk is also relatively high.
The mission of these wasteland search teams is to explore old cities one by one and collect available resources.
There are many types of wasteland search teams, and their formation forms are even more diverse.
Some are entrusted by Qinggang City Administrative Hall, and some are entrusted by some companies or private individuals by some big figures.
The wasteland search team that the father and daughter mentioned was to help them collect various works of art?
From the conversation relayed by my sister just now, we 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 Xiao Xiao went to receive it. However, when they arrived at the place, they found that the waste-recovery team had all died. At the scene, they found a painting that was not in their collection plan, but she still brought it back.
It was precisely because she saw this painting that such a big problem arose.
In this case, it makes sense.
As Mr. Xu said, Main City is extremely well-defended. It is difficult for any special Pollution Source to enter Main City from the outside world. Moreover, his daughter has no chance to come into contact with these special Pollution Sources. So, how was she contaminated?
The reason is very simple. Naturally, she came into contact with it when she was out of town...
While Lu Xin was thinking slowly, the door to the living room was opened.
Mr. Xu on crutches appeared at the door. He looked a little nervous, but he hid it well. He nodded to Lu Xin with a smile and said, "Thanks to Mr. Single Soldier this time, my little girl has recovered, but she is still very weak. In order to let her get better care, I plan to take her back to Main City overnight to recuperate... And this time, I will definitely..."
Lu Xin took a look and saw Xu Xiao Xiao leaning on the sofa through the open door.
She has just been cured and should be in a state of extreme mental exhaustion, but she has been looking outside nervously.
Her eyes gave people a vague feeling of fear, but also extremely greedy.
Shaking his head slightly, Lu Xin said, "Now is not the time to collect rewards."
Mr. Xu was slightly startled and said hesitantly, "What Mr. Shanbing means is..."
"Your matter hasn't really been resolved yet!"
Lu Xin said, "Pollution Source hasn't been processed yet, how can I collect money now?"
"This..."
Mr. Xu looked at the sincere face of Lu Xin, slightly surprised, paused, and then laughed softly, "Haha, thank you Mr. Shanbing for your kindness, but I don't think you need to go to so much trouble. I just asked my daughter carefully and she has not been exposed to anything strange. It is just because she was under too much pressure before, so she had such a rebellious experience..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shanbing, this matter is over. Even if there is a problem, I will not blame you."
He paused slightly and then said, "When Mr. Shanbing reports, you can write like this, there will be no problem!"
After hearing his words, the fat man Manager Liu on the side also felt a little strange.
He interrupted with a smile and said, "Since Mr. Xu said so, the commission can end here..."
Then he turned to Lu Xin: "The reward this time..."
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, and smiled at Lu Xin, "Brother, brother, they just discussed that they would secretly take the oil painting that she had hidden for research..."
"She said that painting is very valuable and must not be known to others..."
"..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly.
Facing the smiling faces of Mr. Xu and Fatty Manager Liu, he slowly shook his head. "This is not okay."
"Work must be taken seriously."
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 strangely serious, and said, "Since I accepted your commission and collected your money, of course I must completely solve it for you, whether it is the contaminated person or Pollution Source."
"In the previous contract, it was clearly written that only if the patient is completely cured can he be rewarded with 100,000 yuan, isn't it?"
"..."
The atmosphere became a little more subtle.
Mr. Xu and Fatty Manager Liu both 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...
This the Xu family father and daughter is crazy, right?
I made some temporary changes and wasted some time. I'm really sorry. I won't ask for votes today. You can leave them for me until tomorrow...
