Bi-monthly (IV)
"Bell bell bell", the bell hanging outside the store rang.
"Why? guess I'm coming?" Bai Ya asked with a smile as she looked at the boss who was making tea.
The boss was dressed in a brown linen robe, his hair was a little messy, and he seemed to have just woken up, and his sleepy eyes were sparse. He fiddled with the tea set, and the fragrance of tea wafted away.
The boss didn't look at her, just concentrated on making tea and shook his head. "It's not a guess, it's knowing you're coming. ”
Bai Ya put away the parasol and smiled at him. "You're a strange person. ”
The corners of the boss's mouth rose slightly, "How about you come and taste this tea?" he beckoned to Bai Ya and motioned for her to come and take a seat.
Bai Ya sat down in front of the boss, picked up a cup of freshly brewed tea, put it to her nose and smelled it first.
"It's not bad, it's fragrant. She took a small sip, and a fragrance permeated her whole body from her liver and spleen.
"This dish is just the cheapest green tea, but everyone makes tea in different ways, so the taste of the tea is different. The boss also picked up a glass and tasted it lightly.
"Are you trying to say that your tea-making skills are very good?" Bai Ya looked at him and asked.
The boss smiled again and shook his head, "Needless to say, I know this kind of thing." ”
Bai Ya seemed to be amused by his words, and covered her mouth and laughed.
"Can you tell me about the origin of your half piece of ancient jade?" the boss asked after glancing at the half piece of ancient jade hanging around Bai Ya's neck.
Bai Ya also lowered her head and glanced at the half piece of ancient jade hanging around her neck.
"This is what I bought when I went to Nanjing a year ago, although the quality of this half of the jade is not very good, but for some reason, I had a sense of familiarity when I saw it for the first time, so I bought it. ”
"Oh, that's right. The boss nodded and said thoughtfully.
"But I heard from the person who sold my jade that this half of the ancient jade was originally a piece, but I couldn't find the other half, so I bought it very cheaply. Bai Ya continued.
"There is something unique about my shop. I never give money when I collect antiques, but ......" At this point, the boss looked at Bai Ya, "I can make a wish come true." ”
Bai Ya smiled again after hearing this, "You are really interesting, you said that you can give people wishes? Could it be that you are the god of lights?"
"The god of lights can fulfill three wishes, I am not so powerful, at most one. The boss also said half-jokingly.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two gradually became harmonious.
"If this can grant me my wish, it doesn't hurt to give you this half of the ancient jade. Bai Ya took the half of the ancient jade from her neck and put it in the palm of her hand.
"Okay, tell me what your wish is?" the boss put down the teacup and replaced the teapot with hot water. "This tea, you have to brew it several times before the taste comes out, just like people, the more you experience, the more you feel. ”
"Seeing that you are not very old, how do you talk in one set?" Bai Ya asked as she stared at him with a curious look.
"The people and things I've experienced are enough for you and me to drink for days. The boss smiled.
"I'll sit down and have a good chat with you when I have the chance, but today, I'm here to listen to you finish that story. When you're done, I'll tell you what I want. Bai Ya stroked her long hair, looked at him and said.
The boss stopped moving, leaned back in his chair lazily, and seemed to be looking at her, but it didn't seem like he was looking at her.
"Well, then you'll have to listen carefully. ”
"Release my lovesickness and cut my heart with love. ”
"Xiao Mu, your news is unreliable. Money three: They are not casino owners at all. Bai Wan looked at Xiao Mu, who was squatting in front of her at this time, and complained. "I ran to the casino myself and almost got into it myself. ”
"Hey, boss, I know it's wrong, if you want to blame me, blame my informant for sending me a message indiscriminately, causing the boss to put himself in danger, Xiao Mu should be punished, he should be punished. Xiao Mu squatted in front of Bai Wandi, pinched his ears with both hands and said apologetically.
"Okay, then you will bring me a few boxes of rouge gouache or something next month, and I want Fengyuexuan's. Bai Wan looked at him and smiled slyly.
"Oh sister, little brother, I only have a few dollars of silver a month, and besides, you don't like things like rouge gouache. Xiao Mu hurriedly said after hearing this, with a painful expression on his face.
"I'm also a girl, why don't I even let me buy rouge gouache? Is it still a crime?" Bai Wan glanced at him fiercely, and the latter instantly felt a chill behind him, and a chill arose.
"Don't worry, don't worry, when the little brother sends out the money, I must buy a few boxes of the best rouge gouache for the boss. Xiao Mu pretended to smile reluctantly, but in fact, blood was quietly dripping in his heart.
"I went to the casino this time, and I learned from the people in the casino that the last time they appeared in the casino was five days ago, and they left in a hurry after staying for a while. It seems that there is something else that says something like that that they can't find out about us. Bai Ya said solemnly, "What do you think this could be?" she held her head and pondered.
"Boss, do you think it could be something of value?" Xiao Mu thought for a moment, and then asked.
"Have you been stupid on a blind date recently?" Bai Wan patted Xiao Mu's pain hard, "Is there anything worth killing three people in a row? If there really is, then how can it not be obtained by a small person like Qian San and them? ”
Xiao Mu covered his head and felt a little painful, "That, you said that this murderer is not for money, so what is it for?"
"I don't know yet, but I know that if we don't find out, we'll lose all the faces of the six doors this time. Bai Wan looked at him with a serious expression.
"White catcher! white catcher!" At this moment, a catcher rushed in from the door, pushed open the door, and saw Xiao Mu pinching his ears and squatting in front of Bai Wan, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"What are you laughing at! Impatient, how do we teach you Bai Zhutou!" Xiao Mu found the smile that the head catcher was holding back, and became a little embarrassed at the moment, and said viciously at him.
Xiao Mu is the second-in-command after Bai Wan on weekdays in the Six Doors, so he is undoubtedly the image of the big brother in the hearts of the crowd. So Xiao Mu was a little angry, and he lowered his head and stopped looking.
"What's wrong? so flustered?" Bai Wan asked.
"Tell you that there is a man at the door looking for you, saying that he is your friend. The little catcher bent down and saluted.
"Boy, friend, looking for Bai Zhutou?" Xiao Mu's eyes flashed with a different look, and he looked up at Bai Wan, looking suddenly realized, as if everything had been explained.
"I said, boss, why do you want to buy rouge gouache, it turned out to be painted for the lover. Xiao Mu's eyes narrowed into a slit and smiled.
"Go, go, go, what nonsense, if you're talking nonsense, go out and lift a stake for me." There was a hint of threat in Bai Wan's tone, so frightened that Xiao Mu hurriedly retracted and stopped speaking.
The head catcher who saw the message couldn't help but want to laugh, but Xiao Mu's eyes were quick to hold back the smile.
"Take me to see who it is?" Bai Wan got up and wanted to walk outside the house, and when she saw Bai Wan walking away, Xiao Mu stood up and hammered her waist and rubbed her shoulders. Looking at her distant back, he muttered to himself.
"Which son-in-law, can you actually accept the White Yaksha?"
The man in a green shirt leaned on the stone lion outside the six doors, not afraid of the majesty of "law enforcement is important, and idlers should not approach" here. The sun hit his handsome face, and it looked very pleasant.
Bai Wan walked out of the door with the catcher who came to deliver the message, and the man in the green shirt turned his head, and the smile on his face somehow made people feel a warmth from the bottom of his heart.
"Why are you? Why are you here?" Bai Wan looked at it, and it turned out to be Li Yu'an, who she met in the casino that day. She was just a little surprised, and she didn't get angry.
"I heard that you recently investigated another case, so I'll see if there's anything I can do to help. Li Yu'an walked closer, looked at her and smiled.
"Let's arrest and solve the case quickly, how can you help. I haven't thanked you for the last time, just come in and sit down?"
"Not necessarily, you know, I also wanted to be like Six Doors since I was a child. Li Yu'an smiled, his face seemed to be filled with a spring breeze.
"Then come in and have a cup of tea, sit down and talk slowly and see if you can help me. ”
Under Bai Wan's warm invitation, Li Yu'an followed Bai Wan into the six doors.
"Hey, hey, who is this man? Why do you see the boss so enthusiastic?" Seeing the two of them walking away, the little catcher on duty at the door quickly approached the messenger catcher and asked quietly.
The messenger shook his head in confusion, "How do I know this? This seems to be the first time that the boss has been so enthusiastic about a man." ”
The two looked at each other, and a smile unconsciously appeared on their faces.
"Boss, this is being accepted. ”
Bai Wan brought Li Yu'an into the house and made him a cup of tea. To say that Bai Wan's house doesn't look like a girl's house at all, all kinds of swords and weapons are hung all over the wall, and she looks like a weak woman on the outside.
"Say, what do you want to help me?" After Li Yu'an sat down, Bai Wan also sat on the chair beside him, looked at him and asked.
He took a sip of tea, "Recently, there have been frequent murders in Kyoto, and the murderers are all killed. Now that the city is in a bour, it seems that you are under a lot of pressure. Li Yu'an looked at Bai Wan and said.
"yes, it's a pity that there is still no progress. Bai Wan lowered her head and sighed as if she was a little lost.
"Didn't I bring you news? Li Yu'an said with a smile.
"What news?" Bai Wan was a little puzzled, you must know that most of the news about the case was the first time that the six doors of the people in the world grasped, and the people in the market would never be exposed to this kind of news.
He put down the teacup in his hand, "Remember the casino we met? I found out that the boss behind them is named Zheng Song, and his family lives in Kyoto." ”
"Really!" Bai Wan was a little excited when she heard this, and slapped the table and stood up straight. For her at a loss, this is undoubtedly a great news.
"Don't be happy just yet. Li Yu'an didn't move in the slightest, and only then did he speak, "It's a pity that this Zheng Song hasn't appeared since he left the house five days ago, and there is no news." ”
