Chapter 52: The Old Barbershop
After a casual dinner, the two of them bought some fruits from the vendor and hugged a lot of nutrient solution.
In the car
Typing in an address, Seo Hyun asked, "Start here?"
"Well, let's go to a few stores today, don't go too much. β
"Today?"
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "This thing can't be done in a day or two, don't you think you can do it in one night?"
"No, I don't think so. β
"That's good"
Driving the car, Xu Xian was thinking about a question in her heart, she couldn't go back tonight, she and Zhang Xian stayed in Hongchuan overnight, which ......
The destination is a hutong mouth
The car can only drive to the edge of the avenue, on the slope, there are many steps, Zhang Xian carried the fruit, holding the nutrient solution to the ladder, Xu Xian also full of two boxes of nutrient solution followed behind, fortunately, she came down today and wore sneakers.
"Knock Knock"
The house is all repaired on the right side of the stairs, and you can see the old shop that has survived for decades here, Zhang Xian knocked on the door of a barber shop, the shop is lit on, the dim yellow light hangs above the chairs, and there are three mirrors embedded on the left wall, corresponding to three chairs, and there are small cabinets under the mirrors, and various barber tools are issued on the cabinets.
On the right wall are a lot of posters, at least five years old, with a row of sofas in the corner, and the floor is uneven and concrete.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
shouted, but there was no response, the atmosphere was quiet and a little weird, Xu Xian stood behind Zhang Xian and looked inside.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Who are you looking for?"
It was the man's voice that startled Xu Xian, and Zhang Xian also subconsciously moved in front of Xu Xian and protected Xu Xian's whole person behind him.
now
A white-haired old man looked at them with a slight hunchback, his hair was very short, his beard was white, he was wearing a very ordinary white dress, and he was holding a pair of scissors in his hand.
"Good evening, old man. β
"Who are you looking for?"
Still this sentence, Zhang Xian opened his mouth and said: "I want to cut my hair, but I didn't see the president nim there." β
Most of the owners of the barber shop were this old man, and the scissors he was holding for haircuts, the older ones, raised his head and said, "Cut your hair and go in." β
Xu Xian patted Zhang Xian's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we here to visit, how did it become a haircut?"
"You don't care about it yet"
After entering the store, Xu Xian walked around, there was a room inside, there was a single bed in the room, it was hot in summer, cold in winter, there was no stove, and the ventilation was not good, could it be that the elderly slept in such a place?
With doubts, Xu Xian returned to the front, put his things aside, and sat on the sofa waiting for Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian had already lay down and said, "Old man, you can fix your face, right?"
Picking up a blade, the old man sighed: "Few young people are still cultivating their faces now, and they are scared to death when they see tools, which is really not as good as a generation." β
Are you praising yourself?
Zhang Xian has no special reaction to the knife, just like a big brother said at the beginning, the knife is just a tool, in the hands of the chef, the knife is a tool used to cut vegetables into food, in the hands of the barber, the blade is a tool used to trim the face, but in the hands of the Black Society, the knife is a tool for killing.
Depending on what kind of person you are and how you use this tool, the results will naturally be different.
Relax and lie down, the trimming is going smoothly, Xu Xian is a little worried, the light is dim, and he is an old man, what if his eyes are not good, and the blade cuts Zhang Xian.
After trimming the face, start cutting your hair
At this time, the old man spoke first and said, "Young man, I see that you young couples should not have come here to travel, to visit relatives and friends?"
The option to directly exclude locals.
After all, they have lived here for decades, and the old people know better than anyone who lives nearby.
Zhang Xian didn't refute and said, "I came here to see a friend." β
"What's your name?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Xian chose a dead worker, a person of a similar age, and said, "Li Haichuan Xi, does the old man know about him?"
Hand movements
The old man looked a little unnatural, Zhang Xian and Xu Xian both saw it, Xu Xian wanted to ask, Zhang Xian immediately said: "We met in the army before, we met once five years ago, and we made an appointment to see each other in five years, and they also said that I would come to his hometown, so I came this time." β
The old man still didn't respond
Zhang Xian pretended to have just seen it, and said with a worried face: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
When he came back to his senses, the old man looked at Zhang Xian, sighed and said, "Young man, you don't know yet, do you?"
"What do you mean by the old man?"
"Hey"
Sighing again, the old man continued: "Li Haichuan, this child is something I watched grow up, he is kind and filial, and when he got married, he was still a witness to the marriage. β
"What? heart disease?"
"Hmph, the media is talking about heart disease, but I don't think it's because of that. β
The first place to visit is rewarding?
Xu Xian's mobile phone turned on the recording function, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to remember.
Zhang Xian said in the mood of the old man: "What's the matter, Haichuan has always been in good health, how can he be so strong in the photo five years ago, how can he ......?"
"This child entered the U food factory five years ago, and his wife met him in the factory, and it was nothing, but he changed jobs in the last two years, and he stayed up late every night, and I knew that something would happen, and the last time he came to my store to cut his hair, people changed. β
"Then, why does Haichuan still work in the factory. β
shake oneβs head
The old man said: "It's not to make money, his current job salary is high, and the salary can be comparable to that of a large enterprise employee in Seoul, he wants his daughter-in-law to live a good life, he wants to buy a house in Seoul and live there, but now, no one is there, and his daughter-in-law has run away with the money, leaving only his poor mother still here." β
"What kind of person?"
Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh.
She was already angry just after listening to what the old man said, as someone else's wife, how long did her husband just die, and she actually ran away with the money, since she was married to a family, she should be filial and take care of her mother-in-law.
Zhang Xian spread his hands, looked at the old man through the refraction of the mirror and said, "Is his mother at home?" β
"Go, young man, there is no need to fix your hair, for his house is at the top of the stairs, with a blue iron door. β
Leaving the nutrient solution, after thanking the two of them, the old man went to the door and looked at Zhang Xian and Xu Xian took a deep breath, shook his head and muttered: "This child doesn't feel bad overall, he should be able to help the Kim family, but I don't know if they are a police officer or a prosecutor." β
The old man knew their identities for a long time, he grew up watching Li Haichuan, Li Haichuan has not socialized with anyone since he came back from the army, he has no friends, and he only spends his birthday alone with his mother at home every birthday, until he met his wife.
Moreover, Zhang Xian has flaws in his description of Li Haichuan, and it can be seen that they are not familiar with it, plus there are not one or two people who come here to investigate the case, and they come from a low-key level every time, but they haven't found anything in the first few times, and the old man has also told what he knows every time, although he doesn't know if he can help.
