205, Murder in Four Seasons: Chapter 5: Bureau (8)

Due to the long-term inhabitation, the walls of the convenience store are mottled, the roll-up doors of the store are closed, and the places that come into contact with the ground are rusty. It looks very bleak, and it makes people feel that something unthinkable has happened to the owner of the convenience store, and he will never come back.

In the open space in front of the convenience store, there was a white-haired old man sitting with a large bamboo tube, smoking a hookah exaggeratedly, taking a puff, and then spitting a mouthful of thick saliva, and the ground was wet with a large area of his saliva.

Although Luo Fei was disgusted by the old man's constant spitting, seeing that he was so leisurely, he should be a long-term resident there, and he must know the story of Sizheng Convenience Store.

Luo Fei approached the old man and pretended to be surprised: "Why didn't the Sizheng convenience store open?" I used to live nearby, and I bought something here? Why is it so dilapidated now! ”

Unexpectedly, his excuse aroused the interest of the old man, and his nose moved, "The shopkeeper Si Zheng suddenly disappeared in the spring two years ago, causing many people to speculate about his whereabouts. Recently I heard that someone saw him and said that he drove a million-dollar car with a young beautiful woman! Presumably because he got rich, he didn't come back here, this is a slum in the city, who wants to get rich, and is willing to live in this low-grade peasant house. ”

Luo Fei said: "Si is a local, right?" He disappeared suddenly, and now that he has made a fortune, he should come back to see his relatives and friends, and he can be regarded as returning home! ”

"You don't know this, do you?" The old man glanced at Luo Fei, took a puff of hookah, spit out another mouthful of saliva, and said, "Si Zheng is a migrant worker who came here from other places, his wife was hit and killed by the owner of this store, and there was no money to compensate, so in order to appease him, he transferred this convenience store to the person named Si Zheng for free." Si Zheng has no children, his wife and children are dead, he has been opening a shop here, about five or six years, I don't know why, two years ago, he suddenly disappeared, no one knows where he went! ”

Luo Fei said: "Usually Si Zheng takes care of the store by himself?" ”

Like a poisonous snake seeing the release of venom from its prey, the old man spit out a mouthful of phlegm and said, "Si Zheng has been fooling around with a group of fox friends and dog friends all day long, and he doesn't care about this shop at all, and hires a rural girl to show him the store." ”

Luo Fei said: "What about the rural girl? ”

The old man said, "I disappeared on the same day as him." ”

Luo Fei said: "Disappeared on the same day? ”

"Well......," said the old man, "that girl is said to be Si Zheng's girlfriend!" You see it's just a small convenience store, the two of them eat, drink, sleep, and they are together, it must be lovers......" The old man said that when he talked about the relationship between men and women, he had a strange smile on his face, although he was very old, he was still so novel about men and women, giving people the impression that he was old and improper.

Luo Fei said: "Does Si Zheng usually interact with those of you who live nearby?" ”

Luo Fei stared at the old man, really worried that the phlegm in his mouth would spurt out like a fountain without any scruples, but fortunately this time the old man only coughed and said, "He only sells us things, never communicates." Maybe he's a foreigner and doesn't have any common language with us locals! Besides, he was a man of few words, and he didn't like to talk to anyone. ”

Luo Fei said: "What kind of person is he? ”

The old man said: "He doesn't steal or touch, he seems to be a very loyal and honest man, and he sells things at a price that is trustworthy." ”

Luo Fei nodded at the dilapidated convenience store and asked, "Si Zheng suddenly disappeared, what should I do with that convenience store?" ”

The old man said, "What can I do?" It's sitting idle! That convenience store was compensated to Si Zheng, and it completely belonged to him, even if it was idle and rotten, others would dare to move it casually. ”

Luo Fei said: "Is there a way to contact the girl who is watching the store?" ”

The old man said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, after they disappeared for a while, the property management here asked them to collect property management fees, but they couldn't find their people!" ”

Luo Fei approached the convenience store and looked at it, and it was true that the door had not been opened for a long time.

When Luo Fei was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw that the rolling door that had not been opened for a long time had recently been opened. The dust deposited for a long time in the place where the roller door touches the ground shows signs of passing.

Could it be that the convenience store was patronized by thieves?

It's been more than two years, and the thief won't wait until now to steal what's inside, and judging by the signs of decay outside the convenience store, there won't be anything valuable inside.

He speculated that the code words written on the eggs by the fake Niu Jie might be that the truth was in the Zhenxi Cave. He went to the Earthquake Cave and got nothing. This convenience store is located on Zhenxi Cave Road, is the truth in this Sizheng convenience store? And it is connected with the code word "Si Zheng".

I can't see anything strange on the surface of the convenience store, but what is the cat in the convenience store? The fact that the rolling door, which has not been opened for a long time, has recently been opened, shows this.

That old-fashioned roll-up door is easy to open, and with a single wire, Luo Fei thinks he can do it. He couldn't help but feel the urge to explore, hoping that it would get dark as soon as possible, and he planned to enter the door to take a look.

Luo Fei secretly made up his mind, went back to the old man, and asked, "Do you know what is the name of the female clerk here?" ”

The old man didn't ask Luo Fei why he was so interested in that store, and he answered all questions, "It's an extremely beautiful young girl, everyone doesn't know her name, and they don't bother to ask, look at her biggest feature, that is, she has a beautiful appearance, and they all call her a beautiful girl." If you really want to know what the girl's name is, you can go and manage the property here and ask, they probably know. ”

Luo Fei nodded slightly, and asked again, "Is the door of the convenience store usually opened?" ”

The old man puffed out his cheeks, expecting to be spitting, and didn't want him to swallow the phlegm into his throat at the end, so he said unhurriedly: "If the door of the convenience store has been opened, it must not have been opened by a person, but a ghost." ”

Luo Fei was surprised: "Why do you say that? Sounds a little scary, is it haunted inside? ”

"It's not...... Young man, you really don't have any sense of humor," said the old man, "and who else will open that convenience store except the owner of that convenience store, who will come back to open his house?" ”

Luo Fei said: "You mean that no one will open the door of a convenience store casually?" ”

The old man coughed, spit out the phlegm he had swallowed in his throat to the ground, took a leisurely puff of hookah, and said, "That's what I mean, that shop is Si Zheng's private property and is protected by law." Whoever wants to touch the door of his house will violate his property rights and will be punished by law. ”

The old man looked old-fashioned, and brought out such sacred words as "law".
