Chapter 19: The Red Flower Supermarket Murder

Meow!

The tanuki screamed and peeked out of the crack in the bedroom door, and disappeared into the darkness outside the door.

"I haven't come back until now, is it because the big black donkey at Uncle Sun's house can't climb the tree and get down, or is Huang Er stunned and caught stealing someone's chicken?" Li Hou sat at the table and bowed his head to do the question, but his head was not raised.

"It's Boss Mei who has an accident!" Li Yan gently closed the door, and his voice was very low.

"Huh? Did he have a heart attack again? The pen in Li Hou's hand paused slightly.

The safflower supermarket has existed since he could remember, and there have been more and more residents around it over the years, and the general supermarket with a commissary has also expanded several times and become larger and larger.

The owner of the supermarket is surnamed Mei, he is very shrewd, and he is very calculating, a typical mercenary businessman, but he is not too bad, he used to always take the food that is about to expire to the welfare home, and sell it to the old man at half price or cheaper, and the old man has his own helplessness, so he is accommodating.

Boss Mei is a congenital heart condition, and he has to prepare medicine every day, and over the years, Li Hou knows that he has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment at least three times.

"Huh? No, I remember walking there this morning, the supermarket door was not open, and Sister Zhen said that Boss Mei went back to his hometown? She also complained that Boss Mei didn't greet her and went back early without a call, so she ran for nothing and didn't go to work. Li Hou was a little puzzled and turned his head to look at Li.

"It would be nice if I did......" the old man shook his head.

"What do you mean, didn't he leave all this time, just in the supermarket?" Li Hou suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the old man's face was gloomy and a little abnormal.

"Yes, and it was a murder!"

"Huh? Murder? Li Hou was taken aback and almost jumped up from his chair, in Ningma, it was rare to hear of such a thing happening.

"It's a bizarre murder!" The old man emphasized again, "Boss Mei's neck was cut by a sharp weapon, and the incident probably happened last night." ”

As the old man elaborated, Li Hou felt a little chill in his vest.

Boss Mei's family lives on the second floor of the supermarket on weekdays, originally planned to go back to their hometown in a few days to do errands, a few days ago, his wife and son went back ahead of schedule, but Boss Mei's wife couldn't contact Boss Mei all day today, the phone was not turned off but no one answered, thinking of Boss Mei's heart disease, the boss lady was anxious, and quickly contacted Xu Liuzi, who repaired the car next door.

Xu Liuzi went to knock on the door after dinner at night, but no one answered, so he had to bring a ladder and bring a flashlight, ready to go up to the second floor to have a look, but unexpectedly in the half-open small air window between the first and second floors, he saw a terrifying scene.

Under the illumination of the strong flashlight, a person fell down in the middle of the supermarket shelf, revealing half of his body, and there were a bunch of dried meat scattered around him, a large black and red piece seemed to be blood, and the person's clothes were obviously Boss Mei's.

Xu Liuzi, who was so frightened, immediately called the police, and after that, it was the sound of the police car that Li Hou heard.

According to the old man who asked the police, no valuable clues were found around Boss Namei, and there was no murder weapon at the scene.

The most bizarre thing is that the door of the supermarket is locked from the inside, and the supermarket not only does not have a back door, but even every window is blocked by an anti-theft window. No one could figure it out.

"That sounds scary!" Li Hou only felt that his hair was straight.

"There are indeed a lot of doubts...... "The old man sat in a wheelchair thoughtfully," Xiao Chen said that the meat was cut open with a sharp weapon and eaten a lot. ”

"Could it be that someone went in and stole something from the supermarket and was found out, and turned to kill people?" Li Hou grinned, feeling a little incredible.

"Do you think it's possible?" Li Yan shook his head, not knowing what he meant, "Okay, don't think about it, go to bed early." ”

When Li Hou was in elementary school, he moved over to live with Li Yiyan, at first he was reluctant, but as he grew older, Li Yiyan's legs and feet became more and more inconvenient, and proposed that the two sleep in a single room, but Li Hou was unwilling, and after Li Yiyan sat in a wheelchair, Li Hou was even more unlikely to go next door.

Two single beds, the quilts were stacked neatly than bricks, Li Hou spread out the quilt and helped the old man onto the bed.

……

In a small inland city, such a bizarre murder case naturally became the first topic of conversation after dinner, and the murder case became more and more mysterious, and it swept the whole city in just one day.

In the evening, Li Hou, who had finished his weekend homework, also went to the Honghua Supermarket for a turn, but it was already sealed and he couldn't enter it at all.

"Forget it, since it's out, let's go to Sister Xue and have a look!" He was about to turn back, when he suddenly remembered the old man's instructions last night, and immediately stepped on the Blue Shadow motorcycle and prepared to leave.

Kick Kick Kick!

A black donkey with shiny fur slowly swayed from a distance at this time.

"Roar! Lao Hei, after dinner, I'm out for a walk again! Li Hou turned his head and smiled.

This black donkey is from the old man's house in the west of the welfare house, and it is said that it is a wild donkey that ran out of the mountains more than ten years ago, but after arriving at the old man's house, he refused to leave, and the people around him laughed at it and called it a cultural donkey!

Why? Because this donkey is really unusual, he likes to read the newspaper! Regardless of whether it understands it or not, anyway, this big black donkey will read the rest of the newspaper and study it for a long time every day with Old Man Sun in his mouth.

It is precisely because of this that Old Man Sun regards it as a treasure in the family, never bolted or deducted, and it is good to eat and drink, and this donkey's nerves are big enough, and he often comes out with a newspaper in his mouth, and walks around the nearby road, and automatically goes back when he is finished.

Wow! Wow!

The big black donkey held his head high and cocked his head, and he didn't look at Li Hou at all with a donkey face facing the sky, it felt like a retired old cadre, but it had a thick book in its mouth today!

"That's right, Lao Hei is starting to read novels!" Li Hou got out of the car and walked over, "Come and let me see what you're seeing?" ”

Wow!

The big black donkey turned his head, Li Hou didn't touch the book in the donkey's mouth, but the moment the big black donkey shook his head, Li Hou aimed at the word "futon" on the cover of the magazine, and on the cover, there was a beautiful woman in ancient costume scratching her head.

"Poof! Lao Hei, you actually look at this ......! Li Hou's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost squirted out.

Wow!

The big black donkey turned his head and glanced at Li Hou, his eyes seemed to be very disdainful, he shook his ass and crossed the safflower supermarket, kicked and walked forward, leaving Li Hou standing there with a strange look on the back of his head.

"Donkey...... Do you know that? ”

Li Hou felt that this donkey was really a little too crazy, the big black donkey used to read the newspaper and climb trees, then he knew it, so he couldn't hang it down the tree many times, he had seen it with his own eyes, but now he really hasn't heard of this hobby!

"I think you're a big donkey!"

Li Hou shouted, but the black donkey didn't bird him, flicked his tail, and walked away leisurely.

Forget it, let's go to Sister Xue's house first! Li Hou shook his head and shook off the clouds and mist in his head, and stepped onto the Blue Shadow locomotive.

Xue Tingting, Li Hou's English teacher, and they also have a special relationship, that is, Xue Tingting calls the old man uncle, because Xue Tingting's father is the only little brother of Xue's mother in Li Hou's mouth.

Although the old man did not officially combine with Xue Tingting's aunt at all, the old man had seen Xue's mother's little brother who was more than 20 years old, that is, Xue Tingting's father.

The reason why the old man came to this small mainland city may be because he had the intention of taking care of Xue Tingting's family, which Li Hou guessed by himself.

If Li Hou's guess is correct, then the old man really didn't come to the wrong place, because Xue Tingting was sixteen years old, that is, when Li Hou was the same size, her parents both died in a car accident, and the old man has been taking care of her since then, and at that time, Li Hou was in elementary school.

Later, Xue Tingting went to college again, and after graduating last year, she returned to this small city to teach in high school, just when it was Li Hou's turn to be a freshman in high school, after a small transfer, Li Hou became Xue Tingting's student.

"Sister-sama! The minister is late, please forgive the sin! ”

As soon as Li Hou arrived outside the old community of some years, he saw a beautiful girl with jeans and white T-shirt with a little baby fat, and her whole body was full of youthful vitality coming out of the community, and she immediately greeted her with a hippie smile.

"Monkeys? What are you doing here? I was just going to buy something to see my uncle! Xue Tingting seemed surprised.

"I'm a sister, do you still need to bring things there? Even in the cold winter months, as long as you stand in front of the old man, the entire welfare home will immediately become spring! Li Hou pursed his lips and pulled the gray T-shirt on his body, "It's your poor little follower, you're about to be unclothed!" ”

"Good, good! Sister has paid her salary, for the sake of you coming to take over, let's fulfill your little wish! Xue Tingting patted the small white satchel on her waist, and said with a smile.

"I knew my sister was the best!" A flower bloomed on Li Hou's face in an instant.

"But you still have to accompany me to buy some things, after all, my uncle is old, and he still doesn't have enough to rely on the meals in the welfare home on weekdays."

"No problem, today I'm my sister's mobile human flesh shopping cart!"

The locomotive engine roared, and Li Hou drove Xue Tingting straight to the direction of Chengnan Commercial Street.

"Your car is so well modified, and you're not afraid of being checked!" Xue Tingting sat in the back seat and said loudly.

"Hey, you don't have to worry about this, then Captain Yu sees the old man like a mouse sees a cat, he doesn't dare to detain my car! Besides, I did him a little favor a while ago! Li Hou turned his head sideways and laughed.

"It always feels too fast, a little insecure!" Xue Tingting watched the cars being thrown away quickly, and couldn't help grabbing Li Hou's gray T-shirt, if she hadn't taken away the helmet, she estimated that she would be choked by the wind and would not be able to say a word.

"Don't worry! I modified it myself, so I know it! ”

"At the level of Xu Liuzi's three-legged cat, I don't dare to compliment!"

"This is not taught by Xu Liuzi, it is my own search for information on the Internet......"
