Chapter 8: Concealing the Truth
There were too many delays in the Chunxue noodle restaurant in the morning, and Chen Beibei was already late when he arrived at the company.
Chen Beibei is rarely late, to be precise, he is never late.
Being late for the first time made him a little nervous.
Let's hope you don't get noticed by your boss.
It backfired, and the boss, who usually comes late, came early today.
"Chen Beibei, why are you late again?"
Obviously I was late once, but the boss added the word "again", and deliberately pronounced that word very seriously.
The boss's word "again" made Chen Beibei feel a trace of grievance.
But Chen Beibei had no way to refute it.
After all, I was really late today, and I was bumped into by the boss.
It doesn't make sense to say you've only been late once.
"I'm sorry, there was a delay today, and I won't be next time."
Chen Beibei lowered his head and said to the boss.
"Well, you're still in the internship stage, so don't try to develop bad habits that will cost you your job."
The boss's fat and greasy body sank into the sofa, and his small eyes squinted at Chen Beibei.
Chen Beibei needs this job now, after all, he has just graduated, if he loses his job.
That means he won't have a single income.
Now he doesn't want to ask his parents for money to spend, he has grown up.
If you ask for money again, it will make people laugh when it gets out.
"Boss, I see. I'll try harder. ”
Finally got rid of his boss. Chen Beibei exhaled a long breath.
Coming to the company is just to report and listen to the managers have a morning meeting.
Then it's time to go out and sell.
It's like this every day, no matter how motivating the morning meeting is, Chen Beibei still doesn't have much motivation.
"Ding! Kappa XP +100......"
A cold system prompt suddenly appeared in Chen Beibei's mind.
It seems that Xiaoshui drank a bottle of Coke at home.
"Ding, Kappa gain +100...... XP"
"Ding, Kappa gain +100...... XP"
Immediately afterwards, there were two more system prompts, did Xiaoshui drink three bottles of Coke at once?
Chen Beibei walked out of the company, and now it is time to visit customers.
"Ding, kappa level two. Combat power +1.
With your assistance, a Shikigami has reached the second level, and you have taken another small step on the path of Onmyoji.
Dear Onmyoji, you know what?
Each Onmyoji will fulfill his long-cherished wish for his own Shikigami.
Only in this way will Shikigami always follow Onmyoji.
Dear Onmyoji, please help Kappa fulfill her long-cherished wish.
Clue: The kappa was killed. ”
Kappa was promoted to the second level, but it only improved its combat effectiveness a little. But the system also gave a small hint.
Judging from the description of the system, a message can be obtained.
If Onmyoji doesn't help Shikigami fulfill his long-cherished wish, then Shikigami will leave.
Chen Beibei got the kappa and the three-tailed fox, although they didn't seem to be useful now.
But Chen Beibei still wants to keep them, after all, he has lived with them for so long, and they have feelings for each other before.
"Who killed the kappa, and what is her long-cherished wish?" Chen Beibei said secretly in his heart.
Chen Beibei went directly to Qinghe Town, and the health care products he promoted were sold to the elderly.
Go to the old people's homes in Qinghe Town, not only to sell health products, but also to inquire about Aunt Chunxue and her daughter.
There are still more old people in Qinghe Town, at least at this time, there are more old people in it than young people.
Because young people can't stand the poverty and backwardness of Qinghe Town.
Many of them went to Luoying City to buy a house, even if they were burdened with huge mortgages.
It's a trend, first one person does it, then a group of people do it.
In the end, there were very few young people left in Qinghe Town.
Chen Beibei went to Grandma Zhang's house, and on weekdays, Grandma Zhang sold some vegetables she grew in the vegetable market. I am also very talkative when I meet people, and I know a lot of things.
Chen Beibei knocked on the door a few times, and then footsteps sounded in the house.
The footsteps are clean and urgent.
"Coming, coming......"
There are not many people who come to Grandma Zhang's house, and they are usually some relatives.
So Grandma Zhang was in a hurry.
It's just that she never thought that it was Chen Beibei who knocked on the door.
When she saw Chen Beibei, there was a trace of doubt on Grandma Zhang's face.
"Chen Beibei, is there something wrong?"
Grandma Zhang didn't know that Chen Beibei was selling health care products, because Chen Beibei had never promoted them in Qinghe Town.
Chen Beibei felt that the people in Qinghe Town were more familiar, and it would be more embarrassing to sell them to them.
"Grandma Zhang, let me ask you something."
Chen Beibei looked at Grandma Zhang and said to her.
Grandma Zhang, who is usually very talkative, heard that Chen Beibei came to ask him about things.
A smile bloomed on his face.
For an elderly person who is alone at home, it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to have someone to chat with her.
"Come in, if you want to ask anything, just ask."
Chen Beibei walked into Grandma Zhang's house, which was very clean and bright.
It gives a very comfortable feeling.
"Grandma Zhang, do you know how Aunt Chunxue's daughter died ten years ago?"
Chen Beibei directly asked the question in his heart.
When Aunt Chunxue was in her noodle shop, what she said to Chen Beibei was that her daughter fell into the water and drowned.
If the clues given by the system are true, then it is possible that Aunt Chunxue is lying.
When Grandma Zhang heard Chen Beibei's question, the smile on her face froze.
She couldn't have imagined that Chen Beibei would ask her this question.
After all, it's been ten years, and no one cares about that incident anymore.
"Grandma Zhang,......"
Chen Beibei saw that Grandma Zhang didn't speak, so he called her.
"Chen Beibei, why are you suddenly asking this?"
The smile on Grandma Zhang's face reappeared, but it seemed a little unnatural.
"Grandma Zhang, if you know, please tell me the truth, because it's important to me."
"It's been so long, I don't remember it very well."
Grandma Zhang looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
Grandma Zhang looked like this, obviously she didn't want to say anything about the cause of Chunxue's daughter's death.
"In that case, I'll go first."
Chen Beibei felt more and more that there was something strange about this matter, if it was just an ordinary drowning.
So this is completely unreasonable for Grandma Zhang to conceal it, right?
And what Grandma Zhang said was also very suspicious, she said that she couldn't remember it clearly.
No matter where a five-year-old child dies, this kind of thing must be rare, right?
So this kind of thing should be easy to remember, right?
