Chapter 8: Playing with the Ugly Woman
At this time, in order to show my identity as an elder, I deliberately shouted at her: "You are the wife of Johnson's old boy? ”
She snorted.
I didn't have the heart to reprimand her: "Why are you so rude, a junior, and dare to speak so loudly to your elders?" ”
Hearing my sudden frenzy, she seemed to be taken aback by my powerful majesty, and the commanding attitude just now immediately changed, and she said expectantly, "Johnson...... He got drunk the other day and ran out after a fight with me...... He...... Before he left, he told me and Dina that he would never come back......"
I knew that I had to ask this ugly woman to tell Johnson's traces at this time, so I kept thinking about it in my head, and my eyes rolled, and suddenly I thought about it, I glared at her fiercely, and snorted: "Then do you know where Johnson's old boy died?" He borrowed $50,000 from the old man last year, and I came to pay him back. ”
She rubbed her hands together, as if she was afraid that I would not find Johnson and ask her to pay off the debt, she looked nervous and said, "I don't know! Old lady, I really don't know ......."
I looked at her frightened death, and I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, and my whole mood suddenly improved.
I continued to hum, "You didn't mean not to tell me about that bad old man Johnson!" ”
She said in a panic: "Uncle, please believe me...... I didn't know he owed you so much money...... I really don't know where that beast died! ”
I sat down at her door with a panicked look and cried, "Johnson is missing, what if he owes me $50,000, it's my bad old man's coffin!" I...... How could I be so unlucky! ”
Maybe it was because I was crying so loudly that some of the residents downstairs actually climbed to the seventh floor to watch, and they pointed and looked at me.
A young and pretty girl came up to me, helped me up, and said to the ugly woman, "Auntie, what's the matter! How do you bully the old man......"
I was stunned, I didn't think that such a young and beautiful woman was the niece of the ugly woman.
The ugly woman heard her niece say that she was bullying the old man, and waved her hand again and again: "Cindy, I didn't bully him, it's your bastard uncle who caused the trouble, he owes this old man 50,000 US dollars, and the old man came to him to pay off the debt, how do I know where Johnson's livestock went......"
Cindy frowned, looked me up and down, the "old man," and let me go and walked into Johnson's house.
She said, "Auntie, why did you quarrel with your uncle again, why do you keep arguing endlessly every day." Where did my uncle go? ”
"Cindy, you don't know Johnson's beast, he ...... He's simply not human...... He had recently been entangled by a female ghost, and every night he shouted that a female ghost in white was going to kill him, and the night before yesterday I was wearing a long white dress, and this animal actually grabbed me by the neck and said that I wanted to murder him, and he took a kitchen knife and cut my leg to a serious injury...... Annoyed, I ran to the traffic police station where he was and told the commissioner of his behavior. ”
"After listening to my account, the police commissioner promised to punish Johnson well, and the devil knows where he is dead......"
Only now do I finally understand why Johnson was fired from the police station, it turned out that his wife was the fault of everything, and Johnson left his wife and his home in a fit of rage.
But knowing why Johnson was fired from the police station is not very helpful in detecting who that "female ghost" is, and importantly, I still have no way of knowing where Johnson has gone, and how can I see the beautiful female ghost he said if I don't find Johnson?
Just when I thought I couldn't find Johnson and was about to leave, a young girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long curly hair and very large eyes, suddenly came out of the room. I knew the girl was Johnson's daughter, Dina.
Dina walked up to me and suddenly said, "Grandpa, my dad is really not at home, he ran out a few days ago, and my mother and I don't know where he went, but I know that my dad often goes to a tavern around ten o'clock in the evening to drink, and the name of that tavern is called White Horse Tavern, if you are really in a hurry to find him, you can go to White Horse Tavern to try your luck." ”
I kept pretending to let out whimpering sobs, crying and crying: "Count my old man unlucky, I know a little animal like Johnson, I am going to call the police, ask the police to help me recover my debts, my old man will not go to him......" Then I bent over, hunched over and walked towards the elevator door.
By the time I got back to the detective office, it was past nine o'clock in the evening, and I hurriedly took a hot shower and changed my appearance again.
I put on a shirt and drove me to the White Horse Tavern, putting all my hopes in the tavern.
When I arrived at the White Horse Tavern, I looked at my watch, it was ten and three minutes, I ordered a bottle of whisky, and sat in a corner of the tavern, quietly waiting for Johnson to arrive.
I thought Johnson would show up soon, but until four o'clock in the morning the next day, I didn't find half of Johnson.
I had no choice but to drive out of the White Horse Tavern in disappointment and towards home.
When I got home, I took off my shirt full of alcohol and fell asleep with my head up.
By the time I woke up, it was already noon, and my housekeeper, Uncle Wang, had come upstairs and called me for lunch. When I thought that I had been busy for several days but couldn't even eat a serious meal, I couldn't help but sigh that it was better at home.
After several days of running around, I suddenly felt that I was so worthless and exhausted. What makes me most indignant is that Johnson is still missing.
If he hadn't come to my detective office that day and begged me to help him investigate the female ghost, I would never have waded into this troubled water.
I couldn't help but think when I was angry, what does Johnson's disappearance have to do with me? He didn't give me a commission anyway, and since he didn't even come to me anymore, why should I bother to find something to do?
That's because I decided not to care about Johnson's encounter with a female ghost. I was going to help Mieko find her mother, and the thought of Mieko made me feel refreshed at once, and Mieko's shadow immediately flashed in front of my eyes.
Frankly, I really want to see her again, in my eyes, she is a beautiful and kind angel.
And I'm still a single young man, and she's also a young girl, which really makes me think about it.
I'm going to go to her house and take the initiative to find her.
Love is something that you have to take the initiative to fight for, how can you succeed by sitting at home and thinking crankily like me?
I shaved, took a shower, changed into my favorite white shirt, put on a black suit, tie, sprung up French perfume, and ran to the barbershop to get a most stylish haircut.
When it was all done, I kept looking back and forth in the mirror.
To be honest, I have never been a person who pays attention to my appearance, I have never paid attention to dressing up, but today I am going to see such a beautiful angel, how can I be rude in front of the angels?
