Chapter 939 The Mystery of the Missing Miners
"When the earthquake happened, I was just in elementary school, so I don't have much memory." Jiang Feng said to Gao Fei, "Looking back now, the two most sensational events that year were the earthquake and the Olympics."
"Although I am a local, to be honest, I didn't have much personal experience at the time. First, I was young, and second, Mei County was quite far from Wenchuan, so the earthquake was not strong. Afterwards, I saw the news reports and realized that the disaster was so serious, with nearly 100,000 people dead and missing..." Gao Fei sighed, "I hope there will be no more natural disasters like this in the future."
"That's a good idea"
Jiang Feng didn't want to say anything to spoil the mood, but he couldn't help it.
Gao Fei put away his phone and looked at the sky, "It's dawn, and we're up anyway, so why not have breakfast."
"Okay! The noodle shop outside the community gate is open all night, let's go have a bowl of noodles!"
Jiang Feng took her boyfriend's hand and rushed into the noodle shop excitedly.
"Auntie! Two bowls of tomato fried egg noodles, no fried eggs!"
"Ah? This..." The noodle shop owner was a little confused.
No fried eggs, what kind of tomato fried egg noodles are you eating? !
"No, I brought eggs myself!"
Jiang Feng proudly took out a gourd-shaped container from his pocket, pressed the gourd's bottom, and the gourd cracked. There was a thick layer of foam on the inside, and two eggs were placed in the middle.
"My sister, I've seen people bring their own eggs, but your small box for eggs is so strange!" The owner said curiously.
"I bought it on Pinduoduo, and it's specially used to hold eggs!" Jiang Feng was very proud, "For example, when going to a breakfast stall to eat pancakes, egg-filled pancakes, etc., many people are used to bringing eggs from home. If you use this gourd box to pack them, you don't have to worry about breaking them! How much is it? Not expensive, 8.8 yuan, free shipping!"
Gao Fei listened next to him and couldn't help laughing.
In fact, Jiang Feng first saw this kind of box on the Internet, and then she came up with the idea of bringing eggs to the breakfast shop.
Searching for such weird gadgets that are completely useless but slightly useful is the source of her happiness when shopping online.
I have to admit that sometimes women's happiness is so simple.
After breakfast, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng returned to the community and found that there were few people in the yard. After asking around, they learned that there were no aftershocks and the neighbors went back to their homes.
The two also returned home, made a pot of tea, sat side by side on the sofa, logged into "Savior Simulator" through the star disk, and entered the long-lost "Harbor City Raiders" module.
…
A magic crystal mine in which shipping tycoon John Lucas II invested has recently encountered trouble.
Miners disappeared one after another, and no clues were found at the scene. After calling the police, no clues were found.
Little Lucas learned about the strength of the "City Hunter" detective agency from Police Chief James Gordon, so he sent his butler to the detective agency to find Roger and Martin, and paid them a large sum of money to ask them to investigate the truth of the miners' disappearance.
It has been two months since he helped Mr. Gordon rescue his kidnapped son, and the detective agency has not been open.
During the days when business was slow, Roger dated Louise every day, and the relationship between the two young people was steadily warming up.
In contrast, brother Martin seemed to be alone, so he had to spend time in the bar, seeking comfort at the card table and in the arms of the waitress to dispel his loneliness.
Strong liquor, women and cards can easily empty a man's pocket.
After more than two months of drinking and drinking, Martin has already felt the urgent need to make money.
On the other hand, Roger didn't want to let Louise spend money every time he dated.
Louise, a rich lady, is happy to spend money on her lover, but Roger doesn't want to be regarded as a gigolo by others, and a man's dignity in society is often directly linked to his ability to make money.
In this case, the big customer introduced by the police chief must not be neglected. Roger and Martin brothers quickly took out good wine and cigarettes to entertain the distinguished guests.
The butler of the Lucas family is an old gentleman who completely meets the imagination of ordinary people about the upper class.
He wears a tuxedo, a bow tie, and his white hair is combed meticulously. His conversation is elegant and rigorous.
After briefly introducing the case of the missing miner, the old butler took out a check and calmly placed it on the desk.
Martin took a peek and saw 1, 2, 3 zeros, and couldn't help but show joy on his face.
"Wow, 1,000 gold duga! Mr. Lucas is really as generous as the legend says!"
The butler held his pipe, glanced at Martin, turned to Rogge, and said calmly: "This is a deposit. After the matter is completed, there will be a reward of 5,000 gold duga."
"Oh... yes, this is just a deposit, my friend."
Rogge winked at Martin, ridiculing him for being surprised by the unfamiliar. In fact, he himself had just mistakenly regarded the 1,000 gold duga as the full reward.
"Please tell Mr. Lucas that my friend and I will complete the commission as soon as possible and find out the truth of this missing case."
"Then I will wait for good news."
The butler stood up and shook hands with Rogge and Martin one by one, and said goodbye and left.
Martin closed the door, turned around and complained to Roger: "Look at that old man, he's so arrogant, even nobles can't match his style! To put it bluntly, isn't he just a servant? The master is rich and powerful, but it doesn't mean he is that great. What's the point of a butler showing off? Really!"
At this time, the window upstairs suddenly opened, and the landlord Mrs. Miller poked her head out and asked fiercely: "You two lazy bones, who are you talking about behind my back?"
"I didn't say anything about you!" Martin retorted angrily.
"I clearly heard something like 'serving servants' and 'just a housekeeper'... Little Fatty, do you dare to swear in the name of the Lord that you didn't say bad things about me behind my back or gossip about me?"
"Really not, my dear landlord!" The little fat man smiled, "I respect you so much and love you. My respect for you is no less than that for my own mother. How dare I say bad things about you behind your back?"
"That's right, I haven't urged you to pay the rent recently. I feel like I'm as kind as the Virgin Mary. You have no reason to complain about me behind my back!"
Mrs. Miller talked to herself, and suddenly looked suspicious.
"Little Fatty, you are full of sweet words, are you trying to ask me to give you a break on the rent?"
