"The next reward, the rain gear shop on the left bank of Tianqing Street, is not far from here, is this a dark let me go and get a rain gear in case of rain?" Zhang Su looked at the sky that gradually became gloomy from gloomy, and always felt that the last ghast bounty was to prepare for the arrival of heavy rain, as the saying goes, there is a providence in the underworld, obviously this rain gear shop bounty is like a coincidental providence.

Left bank rain shop is a chain store, specializing in selling all kinds of rain gear, all kinds of umbrellas, a dazzling array of raincoats, etc., now there are few such specially opened rain gear shops, a lot of rain gear sales are merged into a variety of supermarkets, shopping malls, left bank rain shop can be said to be one of the few separate rain gear shop brands, in the rainy areas of the south, the left bank rain shop is not bad, but in the north, especially in Qicheng, the rainy season of the year is just a few days, people's demand for rain gear is not so strong, so the Left Bank rain gear shop has been so tepidly open, and there are not many customers.

There is a big difference between the rainy season in the north and the south, mainly affected by the summer monsoon, in summer, the southeast monsoon blows the water vapor of the Pacific Ocean from south to north to the inland, the south is the first to be moistened by the rain, the rainy period starts early but ends late, lasts for a long time, and the higher the latitude to the north, the influence of the monsoon is weakened, the precipitation cycle is short, and the precipitation gradually decreases from south to north, so in comparison, the demand for rain gear in the south is greater, and a few light rains in the north can not arouse people's demand for rain gear at all. So there is hardly much market for rain gear in the north.

Qicheng is located in the middle of the north and south of the mainland a little northerly, even in the rainy season there are still not a few heavy rains, so the special rain gear shop can not let customers stop, but those supermarkets sell low-cost almost disposable rain gear is deeply loved, a few yuan a hand, more than a dozen yuan a handful, a year with a three or five times on the skeleton bent, rusty, but enough for people to survive a rainy season, to the next year, the old umbrella that is broken is not a pity to throw away, and then spend money to buy a new umbrella, and will not cause much burden to everyone's wallet, On the contrary, there are new ideas every year, and there are two rusty broken umbrellas in Zhang's rental house, which are piled up in the corner of the door and have not had time to throw them.

"It's a bit gloomy this day, I can't hide from this heavy rain in summer, just let me finish the work in my hand before it falls, at least I have a temporary shelter from the rain." Zhang Su muttered, he looked up at the sky while riding, most of the summer he almost shrank at home and felt sorry for himself, during the period, whether it was windy or rainy outside, it had nothing to do with him, more than four months have passed, and now the summer has not passed, he finally can't escape a baptism of summer rain, and judging from the darkness of the sky, the scale of this summer rain should not be very small.

However, the sky was not as good as people wanted, Zhang Su was still dozens of meters away from the left bank rain gear shop, the cloudy sky cried a few tears, the teardrops turned into a pouring rain in a blink of an eye, "lala" hit Zhang Su, and also hit the hollow signboard of the rain gear shop, the plastic paper on the signboard was smashed by the raindrops Bang, and Zhang Su had rushed to the hollow signboard in the rain, rushed to the front of the rain gear shop, parked the car under the eaves of the rain gear shop, quickly cut off the power and pulled the key, and rushed into the left bank rain gear shop in a stride. Standing in the doorway, he slapped his half-wet body, trying to shake off the water as much as possible.

"Hello, it's drenched, take it and wipe it." Just as Zhang Su lowered his head and shook off the water droplets on his body, a girl-like soft voice asked.

Zhang Su looked up and saw that it was a young woman in her early twenties, looking at her wet self with a concerned expression, and she had already handed a box of paper in front of her.

"Sorry to dirty your shop." Zhang Su looked at the woman in front of him, and then looked at the floor covered with mud footprints under his feet, and said ashamedly, but he still took out two pieces of paper to wipe the bitter and salty rain on his face.

"It's okay, I'll just drag it with a mop, usually no one will run to the rain gear shop if it doesn't rain, you can understand." The woman said with a hearty smile.

Zhang Su looked at the woman, to be honest, the young woman in front of her smiled and gave people a sweet and kind feeling, and it was like another sun under this dark sky, which made Zhang Su feel a little warm in his heart.

"Thank you." Zhang Su responded, thanking the woman for her understanding and the woman for handing him a tissue to wipe the rain.

"You're welcome, although the weather forecast reports thundershowers, but judging from the degree of gloomy weather and the humidity of the air, this rain is estimated to be a while and a half can't stop, at least it will take an hour or two, or you take shelter from the rain here and then go, your car is easy to get rid of the battery under the eaves, the blue raincoat at the door you can take off the model and put it on the car, don't get the car drenched and can't go." The woman suggested to Zhang Su with concern.

"Thank you, thank you, then I'll borrow the raincoat from your store first." Zhang Su said gratefully, he originally planned to do so, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth, and the woman in the store actually took the lead in saying it, and thought about it so carefully, so that Zhang Su couldn't help but admire the woman's carefulness.

According to the woman's suggestion, Zhang Su took off a dark blue raincoat from a male plastic model, put the raincoat on the electric car at the door, and then returned to the store again, shook off the rain on his body at the door, stepped to shake off the mud on his shoes, gently moved a few steps to the store, and looked around the environment in the store.

"Don't stand at the door, it's cold at the door, come in, there's a bench, you just sit and wait for the rain to stop." The woman said to Zhang Su again.

"You're so nice." Zhang Su took two steps inside, found a small wooden bench and sat down, and said a sentence unconsciously, after saying it, Zhang Su regretted it a little, he felt that although this was true, it was easy to misunderstand.

"Thank you." Hearing Zhang Su's blurted out praise, the woman's face suddenly turned crimson, and she responded with her little head down.

Zhang Su knew that his unintentional outspokenness had indeed caused some trouble to the woman, so he hurriedly found a topic to break the embarrassing atmosphere: "My name is Zhang Su, Gong Chang Zhang, a disgusting suspect, are you the boss here?" What do you call it? ”

"My name is Huo Yan'er, Huo Quai's Huo, Yan'er's newlywed Yan'er, college summer vacation, I came to help my mother take care of the store temporarily." The woman has been shy since she was praised by Zhang Su, and replied in a soft voice.

"It turned out to be a small boss, in fact, I am not a passer-by who temporarily shelters from the rain, I came to your store because I was entrusted by the boss here to help deal with some things." Zhang Su told Huo Yaner his true purpose.

"My mom asked you to take care of things? What's going on? Today? She didn't tell me. Huo Yaner looked at Zhang Su with some confusion.

"That's what I was tasked with, you can call and ask the big boss." Zhang Su replied, and while answering, Zhang Su released his soul power to perceive the surroundings, and the stele soul extension also quietly unleashed, probing the traces of soul power left by the ghast around him.

"Well, you wait a minute, I'll ask." Huo Yaner saw that Zhang Su didn't seem to be lying, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Zhang Su did not continue to sit and wait, he stood up and kept touching all kinds of rain gear in the store, what umbrellas, raincoats, rain boots, rain covers, folding umbrellas, craft umbrellas, beach umbrellas, waterproof tents, etc., can be described as a complete variety, Huo Yaner thought that Zhang Su was looking at the rain gear, in fact, Zhang Su was using the stele soul to collect residual information about the reward ghost, but so many special styles and structures of rain gear also made Zhang Su a little refreshing, he still knows that there are so many types and exquisiteness of rain gear.

After a moment of information collection, Zhang Su summed up some information about the ghast, this rain gear shop is indeed a place where the ghasts on the bounty often haunt, but the ghasts are not hiding in this rain gear shop at this time, according to the traces, the ghasts seem to have swam outside the store where it was raining, and it was not long after they went out, and the ghasts had just left before their arrival.

"Brother Zhang, I asked, my mother said that you may be a person sent by the headquarters, and she is in the hospital now and can't come to her, so if you need help, just tell me, and my mother wants me to assist you." Huo Yaner finished the phone call and said behind Zhang Su.

"HQ?" Zhang Su was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the bounty giver should say that it is a company, and the general company is the code word for external claims.

"Well, my mother said that the heavy rain more than two months ago caused some rain gear in the store to be damaged for no reason, several display windows were inexplicably broken, she called the police and did not investigate the exact cause, and the surveillance in the store did not take any pictures of people sneaking into the store, and then she thought that it was the thunder and lightning that shattered the glass in the store, so according to the conditions of force majeure, the damaged rain gear was returned to the factory for replacement in accordance with the regulations, and the store surveillance video was sent to the past, and the left bank rain gear headquarters gave her a reply: 'Business as usual, Investigators come to the door at any time to investigate. I think you're the one from the headquarters who came to investigate. Huo Yaner explained.

Zhang Su pondered for a moment, obviously the headquarters of the Left Bank Rain Gear Company assigned to the Soul Hunting Company should be the headquarters of the Left Bank Rain Gear Company, and the branch owner here should not be aware, since he didn't know, Zhang Su was embarrassed to make more publicity, so he could only respond: "Well, you can think so." ”

"Then you, oh no, then you investigate, I will cooperate at any time, I will send a message to my mother if I don't know, and she will cooperate with your investigation." Huo Yan'er said with a look of shame, as if he had seen a big leader.

"I just graduated from college a few years ago, and my peers don't need 'you, you're just going to call me Zhang, I'll call you Sister Yan, so that you won't look too rusty." Zhang Su felt that Huo Yan'er's personality in front of him was very simple and kind, if he was not a soul master, it would be okay to make a friend, so Zhang Su suggested under his good impression.

"Well, okay, Brother Zhang, you take a look around first, there are actually two strange things happening in the store, one is the glass cabinet shattering incident more than two months ago, and the other is the light rain six days ago, my mother said that when she looked at the store, she saw a special figure on the mirror of the rain boots display cabinet in the middle of the store, the figure looked like a person is not a person, like a fish and not a fish, simply like a fish with only two legs, the figure flashed, and then my mother was planted on the shelf of the rain boots display cabinet in a daze, because the shelf is glass, My mother's face and head were cut by a broken mirror, it was an ambulance called by Uncle Wang, who was doing foreign trade business next door, although there was no worry about her life after a few stitches, but the doctor was afraid that the injury on her head would affect the blood vessels and nerves, so my mother is still lying in the hospital to recuperate. Huo Yan'er said what she knew in one breath.

Huo Yan'er said that Fan Zengming mentioned it in the reward order, although it was not so detailed, but it did mention the matter of the ghast making trouble again, indicating that Fan Zengming's intelligence investigation was done after the second accident, which was similar to what Huo Yaner said, of course Zhang Su couldn't explain to Huo Yaner that he already knew, so he could only nod and say: "Well, it's a strange thing, I will investigate together, Sister Yan, do you have a video of the first incident?" ”

"Yes, I have it in my mobile phone, the last time my mother sent it to me, I saved a copy in my mobile phone, it was a video of more than a minute, recording the time from before the accident to after the accident, but those glass cabinets were inexplicably broken in a matter of seconds." Huo Yaner nodded, then took out her mobile phone, opened the video saved in the picture area, and a dark surveillance video with snowflakes was opened, and Huo Yaner held it up to Zhang Su to watch.

More than a minute later, Zhang Su finished watching the video, nodded and said to Huo Yaner: "Well, I've finished watching it." ”

"How? Isn't it weird? The shop was closed at night, but the glass was inexplicably broken, and some rain gear also fell to the ground inexplicably, if it wasn't for the earthquake, it looked like something invisible, and I still feel a little creepy after seeing it. Huo Yaner said.

"Why don't you think it's the thunder?" Zhang Su asked.

"I've never seen lightning so powerful, and this house also has lightning rods, the credibility of thunder is too low, of course, this is just my own speculation." Huo Yaner explained, and finally added a not-so-confident explanation.

"Well, there is some truth, let me think about it, I have a little clue, and I need to analyze and integrate." Zhang Su replied with a smile, then sat down on a small stool again, closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Huo Yan'er looked at Zhang Su's strange behavior, and felt that Zhang Su didn't look like an investigator, but he couldn't tell what Zhang Su was doing, so he could only stare at Zhang Su who closed his eyes and pondered, as if staring at a sculpture.

"Oh, I'll go, it's raining too much, and the skeleton of my old umbrella is rusty and scattered, that Yan Nizi, you pick a good umbrella for me, I'm going to go out." Just as Huo Yaner was staring intently at Zhang Su, a middle-aged uncle with a burr beard pushed in from outside the rain gear shop and shouted at Huo Yaner.

"It's Uncle Wang, please come in." Seeing that Zhang Su was pondering, Huo Yaner walked away from Zhang Su's side and walked to the front of the store to greet him warmly.

"How's your mom?" The man called Uncle Wang asked.

"The stitches will be removed in two days and you will be discharged from the hospital." Huo Yaner replied.

"That's good, it's okay, hey, you have customers in the store?" Uncle Wang saw Zhang Su as he spoke, and asked puzzledly.

"It's okay, it's said that the investigator sent by the company's headquarters should investigate the cause of the continuous accidents in my branch, after all, the damaged rain gear should be returned to the manufacturer for a new one, and the headquarters needs to be verified." Huo Yaner explained.

"Southerners? In total, there are not a few rain gears damaged, is it necessary to send someone to audit? It is estimated that the value of the damage is not as high as the cost of this kid's trip from the Southern Headquarters. Uncle Wang snorted coldly.

"No, Uncle Wang, listening to his accent is our person, and he came on an electric car, it should be someone from the branch office of the headquarters here, and people are also kind, after all, except for two incidents in a row in the store, it is not reassuring." Huo Yaner defended Zhang Su.

"Also, things are quite strange, by the way, Nizi, you find me a better umbrella, it's the kind of skeleton that is strong, the price is not a problem, I went out, the umbrella in my store was broken." Uncle Wang said.

"Uncle Wang, I have a folding umbrella with a straight rod, you don't need to buy it, you can just use it." Huo Yaner said.

"This is not good, there may be rain on this day in the future, my umbrella is broken, I have to buy a new one to put at home, otherwise how to go out on a rainy day, you can recommend one to me, just choose a black color." Uncle Wang smiled and said.

Huo Yan'er is not easy to refuse, according to her understanding of the umbrella, she carefully picked a medium-quality black ten-bone folding umbrella from the dazzling rain gear, she felt that in Qicheng on a rainy day, this kind of umbrella with low quality and inexpensive price is enough, so she said to Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, you just take this, the umbrella bone is strong, the umbrella surface is thick, and the light wind and light rain here in Qicheng will not blow the umbrella bad, and after using it, it will not rust if you dry the water control upside down, and it can be used for a few years." ”

"How much?" Uncle Wang asked.

"I can't take your money, you can just take it and use it, I haven't had time to thank you for the last time." Huo Yan'er hurriedly refused.

"One yard to one yard, not to mention that you don't have much business in this small business, if I take another handful, your store will have to close before your mother comes back, I'll see if the price is written at seventy-nine, then seventy-nine." Uncle Wang said happily.

"No, no, I sent a message to my mother to ask, and my mother said Uncle Wang, if you really want to give it, give a purchase price, forty-two, otherwise she will be embarrassed to come back." Huo Yaner said.

"Okay, forty-two is forty-two, I'll take advantage of it, let's go, on a rainy day, you watch the store alone, be careful, pay attention to safety." Uncle Wang took out two twenty and two two two yuan and handed them to Huo Yan'er, then looked at Zhang Su and gave two instructions, then left with an umbrella.

On the other side, Zhang Su's soul has been out of the body, the soul has already walked out of the rain gear shop, lingering at the door of the store for a while and then walking across the road, in front of a temporarily unopened shop across the road to find the ghast hidden in the rain, as the distance with the ghast gets closer and closer, Zhang Su saw the appearance of the ghast clearly, and sure enough, it is similar to the cyan phantom that flashed in the surveillance, and it is almost the same as what the owner of the rain gear shop described, it is the appearance of a fish with two legs.

"I didn't stay in your lair on a rainy day, how did you think of running to this big road to play in the rain?" Zhang Su's soul asked at the fish-body ghost.

"Rain?" The fish-body ghast repeated with a smile.

"Isn't it? You rotten fish ghast. Zhang Su frowned and asked puzzled.

"Of course not, I'm a soul who has been blessed by the rain, and the soul dust washed by the rain can be temporarily used by me, ghast? I'm a ghost in the rain! Ha ha! The fish-body ghast sneered, and suddenly the soul power skyrocketed, and the soul power continued to improve on the basis of the high-level ghast, and instantly broke through to the level of a junior ghost, and then stared at Zhang Su's soul with a greedy face, as if he was full of expectations for Zhang Su's soul.
