Chapter 4: The Man in Black

Although the lights of the elevator are off, but the elevator does not stop, it is still rising, I quickly took out my mobile phone, pressed the power button, the faint light is still very dazzling in the dark elevator.

Suddenly, I was nervous, as if I was tied up by something, and this feeling quickly disappeared, whether it was because the elevator lights suddenly went out and I was a little nervous.

"Why, the light will still break," Mom said angrily. Dad was very calm and said, "It's good that it didn't stop."

"Ding Dong, the fourth floor has arrived," a prompt sound came from the elevator.

The elevator door opened, we got down from the elevator, and the man in black also came down and walked away from us quickly, and the people waiting to get on the elevator saw that the elevator was dark, and they all hesitated to get on or not.

As a family walked towards the mall lobby, my mother said, "Look at your wallets, the guy in black looks like a thief, don't let him steal it." Mom whispered, "It's almost the New Year, and now is also the time for thieves to be busy." ”

"I don't have much money anyway, so I'm probably disappointed that he stole my wallet. As I spoke, I touched my wallet with my hand, and my father also touched my pocket, and it was still there, it seemed that my mother was too careful.

I accompany my parents to the mall as a coolie, they are a big purchase for the New Year, and I am just a long-term worker who carries things. From time to time, my mother also praised me with a sentence of "our family Dongdong can help with the work now", as if I had never done it before.

I rested in front of the railing of the central patio on the fourth floor of the mall, looking around, the fifth floor was the restaurant, the sixth floor was the cinema, and suddenly I saw the man in black appear on the fifth floor, he was too obvious, he seemed to be looking for something, it was really a little similar to the thief, and he looked up and down everyone who passed by him, and looked at their shoes. Then he walked behind the other person as if he was deliberately stepping on the other person's shoes, but he didn't do anything.

"What is this person doing" I thought to myself, my eyes didn't feel like they were moving with him, the man in black just shook around everyone, and others thought there was something wrong with this person, and they all left him quickly.

The man in black seemed to be looking for someone, "Who is he looking for?" I thought to myself, is he really a thief, see who is easy to do?

"Knock knock, you first put the things you bought in the car, and then go to the supermarket on the basement floor to find us, and your dad and I will go to sell some New Year's food" Mom said to me, Dad also handed me the car keys, I took the car keys, and looked upstairs, the man in black was gone.

I walked to the elevator with what I had just bought, and it was the same elevator I had just had. The door opened, the light turned on, and there were two people wearing electrician clothes and holding tools in their hands, one of them said, "The evil door was obviously in the control room just now, looking at the light well, why did it suddenly go out, and I accompanied the people from the Safety Supervision Bureau to turn around once yesterday, there must be no problem." The other said, "Xiao Zhang in the control room said that he seemed to have been touched in the morning, his head was dizzy, and his body was inflexible, so he didn't turn off the power switch." ”

"Ding Dong, the first floor has arrived" The elevator prompt sounded, two electrician-looking people got off the elevator, and a few more people came up to the underground garage.

I went to the underground garage, found our car, opened the trunk and was about to put things in the car, when suddenly a few people rushed out of the elevator and ran towards an SUV. The SUV was five or six parking spaces away from my car, and I only vaguely heard one of them say, "Hurry up, it seems that he has found it, don't let him touch it." "I looked over to the men, and one of them took one look at me and got into the car. The SUV quickly pulled out of the parking space and headed for the exit.

"How can it be like making a movie, is someone chasing them," I thought to myself, closing the trunk lid. I had to walk towards the elevator hall. There are two elevators in the elevator room, and this time I plan to take the other one to avoid accidents. After waiting for a while, the elevator door opened, and suddenly a woman ran out, startling me, ran to the elevator door to look left and right, and came back to me.

"Little handsome man, did you just see four men coming out of the elevator? One of them was wearing a yellow leather jacket," the woman asked, and I saw this woman, probably in her twenties, like a salesperson. "The yellow leather jacket, it seems that some of the people who got on the SUV just now were wearing yellow jackets, and yellow is more conspicuous," I thought to myself.

"Oh, a couple of people ran out just now, one of them was wearing a yellow jacket, and they drove away, what's wrong?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, it's okay, their stuff fell on my counter. She said as she got into the elevator with me, and she pressed the elevator button on the fifth floor.

I pressed the button on the negative floor, and looked at the saleswoman, and it didn't feel like I was looking for them to return something, she didn't have anything in her hand. The saleswoman's gaze stared at the advertising TV on the elevator, her eyes were a little hollow and deep, as if she hadn't seen anything, this person's gaze didn't feel like a woman's gaze, and she felt a chill.

"Ding Dong, the negative layer has arrived. The elevator beep sounded again.

I got off the elevator and looked back at the saleswoman, her face blank, her eyes still staring at the commercial TV. I walked through the underground shopping mall and came to the supermarket. At the door of the supermarket, I took out my phone and made a call to my mother.

"Mom, where are you? I said as I looked around, hoping to see them.

"You go inside, you're selling quilts, and your dad says your quilts are too thick, so let's buy a slightly thinner one. Mom said.

"What kind of quilt to buy, it's really boring," I thought to myself, and walked towards the home textile area. I saw my parents in front of a show bed, "I don't need to buy it," and I said, "My quilt is very comfortable." ”

"Look, you were hot last night, like taking a shower, your quilt is a little thick," said Dad.

"Whatever you want," I said with a shrug.

"That's it, it's quite soft to the touch," said my mother, holding a quilt.

"Knock knock, pick it up," Dad reached out and took a quilt from the shelf and handed it to me.

"Let's go, go to the food area, look at the bacon," my mother said happily.

I carried the quilt, lowered my head, walked behind my parents, looked at the saleswoman in the supermarket, and couldn't help but think of the saleswoman and the four men just now, what is their situation, is it really like the saleswoman said that something was dropped? The saleswoman's eyes are still in my mind, is she really a salesperson? Who found the four men, and why did they leave in such a hurry? A bunch of questions kept spinning in my head.

Suddenly I bumped into someone, but luckily there was a quilt in front of me and squeezed between me and the person,

"I'm sorry, are you okay" I quickly apologized, and looked up to see who I had bumped into, and to my surprise, it was the man in black that I had bumped into.

"It's okay," the man in black replied coldly and left in a hurry.

"What do you think about that knock, you walk and look at some people. My mother said unhappily, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, ah, I'm fine," I replied to my mother's question, turning my head to look at the back of the man in black, "Why did this person come here again, is he really a thief?" I thought to myself, and when I saw that the zipper of the quilt bag was not properly drawn, I pulled the bag back on.

I walked a few quick steps, followed my parents' footsteps, and came to the food section.

When I came to the shelves selling bacon, pieces of bacon were hung on the shelves, and the shelves had four layers. Mom is picking bacon.

"Knock knock, you're tall, go get me the top one," Mom said as she pointed to a piece of bacon in the shape of a kitchen knife, I put the quilt on the ground and walked to the shelf in front of my parents to reach for a piece of bacon, "Is that this one?" I asked. "Which one else, yes is the third one to the left, yes is this piece" Mom instructed me to get enough, I took down two pieces of bacon and carried it for Mom to see, Mom looked at the bacon left and right and said, "These two pieces are not bad, these waiters always hang the good ones very high, and hang the general ones below." ”

I took a shopping basket from the bacon counter, put the bacon in, and carried it to get my quilt. I walked up to the quilt and saw that two young men, a man and a woman, had opened my quilt and were looking through something.

"Is there a problem with this quilt?" I asked, unhappily.

"Oh, no, no, I just look at this quilt and feel good, I want to touch the quality, this quilt is yours. The girl said as she pulled the zipper on the quilt bag. ,

"I took it, if you want to buy it, you can go to the home textile area, there are a lot of them," I said, picking up the quilt. The man and woman looked at the quilt and turned away.

I hurried to catch up with my parents, "What did you just say to those two people?" Mom asked.

"It's okay, just look at the quilt, I guess I want to buy it. I replied.

"My vision is still good," my mother said proudly.

After shopping in the supermarket for a while, my parents bought some daily necessities, looking at almost half past eleven, my mother said to check out to eat, there were not many people at the cash register, my father said he went to check out, so he took me to a cash register, and my mother went out to wait for us from no shopping channel.

The cashier skillfully passed the goods through the scanner, and when she brushed the quilt through the scanner, she opened the quilt bag, looked at it, touched it again, and then closed the zipper. "It's 259 pieces of 5 corners in total. The cashier said.

"Swipe the card," Dad said, handing over the credit card.

After I got all my things on, I went to my mom with my dad, "Knock knock, you better put your things in the car first, and then find us in the cafeteria on the fifth floor," Mom ordered.

"Yes," I replied helplessly.

After I got out of the garage and put my things away, I went to the cafeteria on the fifth floor to find them, our family hadn't eaten together for a long time, and my dad was usually very busy, so he didn't usually go home to eat.

I was turning left and right in the cafeteria to pick out my favorite food, and I was shocked when someone stood behind me and put his hand on my shoulder while I was engrossed in the pastry section.
