Accompanying the middle-aged woman into the horror bookstore, there was also a thick and pungent smell of perfume.

But I didn't even bother to raise my head, and pointed at Li Fansen coldly: "Tell him what wine you want to drink." ”

With that, I buried my face in my arms and ignored the middle-aged woman.

Who knew that the middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and a hoarse voice came from her throat: "I'm not here to drink, I want to find the owner of this bookstore." ”

Not drinking? Looking for the owner of this bookstore?

In the case that Fan Dian is not born, the nominal owner of the horror bookstore is me, and she is here to find me?

I suddenly came to my senses and looked seriously at the middle-aged woman in front of me.

If you don't look at it carefully, you won't find it, and if you look at it seriously, you will be shocked again and again.

It turned out that the "middle-aged woman" in front of me was not a "middle-aged woman", but the mature clothes on her body made me preconceived that she was a "middle-aged woman".

To be precise, she was a young woman of twenty-six or seventeen, because under her white forehead, she had a delicate and tender face, which was simply amazing.

But it was this delicate face that strangely wore a black hat.

This black hat looks old-fashioned, like a product of the eighties and nineties.

Not only that, but her soft and slender waist is actually wrapped in a red cheongsam, which makes her look like a "middle-aged woman".

"Why is she dressed so old when she is so young?" I was puzzled, but I said seriously: "I am the owner of this bookstore, what are you looking for me?" ”

"You're the owner of this bookstore?" The woman suddenly tugged at her collar in embarrassment.

I noticed that the cheongsam on the woman's body was very strange, and it was unusually sewn with a long black collar.

The black collar encircles the woman's neck, covering her neck.

"A woman seems to have something hidden in her neck." I immediately got up from the bench and tried to peek at the woman's neck.

But the black collar was so tight that no matter how hard I tried to tiptoe and peek, I couldn't see the woman's neck clearly.

This reckless act of mine seemed to arouse the woman's vigilance, and she shrunk her neck and made a defensive posture.

I had to give up observing the woman's neck and sniff the perfume on the woman's body: "The perfume smell on this woman's body is too strong, who would deliberately spray so much perfume on her body?" It's weird. ”

As if noticing my gaze, the cheongsam woman took a few steps back, as if she didn't want to get too close to me.

Seeing that I didn't answer, the woman who took a few steps back seemed impatient: "Hey, are you really the owner of this bookstore?" I look too young, so I guess I'm still studying. ”

I was instantly unhappy, and sat back on the bench: "Who stipulates that if you study, you can't open a store and be the boss?" Something to say, this boss is very busy. ”

The impatience on the cheongsam woman's face disappeared in an instant, and she bent down slightly apologetically: "It's me who is abrupt, and please don't blame the boss." ”

When the woman bent down to apologize, there was a wave on her chest, and I was stunned for a while: "Haha, the entrance is a guest, how can I blame the guest, by the way, what are you looking for me?" ”

"That's good." The cheongsam woman exhaled deeply, then took out a book from her arms, and asked a little nervously, "Is this book sold by your bookstore?" ”

I took the book with one hand and looked at it, and found that it was a book called "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan", which mainly teaches readers to learn all the ways to play Sichuan mahjong.

Instead of opening the book, I turned it around and looked at the reverse side of the cover.

When I saw the square seal on the back of the book cover, I touched my chin and nodded: "The book was indeed sold from my bookstore, what's wrong?" Is there a quality problem with the book? ”

I stared at the cheongsam woman suspiciously, my eyes full of inquiry.

Who knew that the cheongsam woman, who was calm in the last second, collapsed instantly in this second, her face was crying, and a trace of fear flashed on her face.

"No wonder, no wonder my husband is gone, it turns out that this book originated here, what a sin." The cheongsam woman shed tears as she spoke, looking very sad.

I was a little confused, I didn't know what was going on, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" What does this book have to do with your husband's disappearance? ”

Under my questioning, the cheongsam woman told me pitifully, and I finally understood what was going on.

In the description of the cheongsam woman, her husband was originally a three-good young man who did not gamble money, was greedy for alcohol and did not mix in nightclubs, but since he bought this "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan" a few weeks ago, her husband's personality has changed greatly, and he has become a good gambler and a good drinker and often hangs in nightclubs.

After her husband gambled like crazy, he often hit the cheongsam woman, which made the cheongsam woman miserable.

However, the cheongsam woman did not file for divorce because of the fate of the three-year husband and wife, but silently endured her husband's evil deeds.

The cheongsam woman's tolerance did not change her husband's improvement, but her husband's temper became bigger and bigger, and the cheongsam woman finally decided to divorce.

The divorce date was set five days ago, but the cheongsam woman waited left and right in the law firm, and did not wait for her husband at all, but waited for the news of her husband's disappearance.

So in the past few days, she has been looking for her husband until she found my horror bookstore with the book "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan".

After knowing what happened, I said a little speechlessly: "There are many reasons for your husband's disappearance, and it is not necessarily caused by this book. ”

But I didn't know that the cheongsam woman went crazy directly: "No, it must be caused by this book!" My husband isn't a bad gambler at all, but he's changed since getting this book! ”

"Maybe your husband is hiding deeply, if he is not good at gambling, why would he buy this book, I didn't force him to buy it." I spread my hands helplessly, and handed the book back to the cheongsam woman.

Who knew that the cheongsam woman didn't reach out to take the book at all, causing the book to fall to the ground with a "canopy".

The cheongsam woman kept scratching her arms: "No, I know my husband, he is not a good gambler at all, it must be caused by this book, why don't you believe me!?" ”

"Okay, I believe you, you calm down." I immediately comforted the cheongsam woman and stopped her from completely losing control: "There is a chair here, you can sit down first." ”

Comforting the cheongsam woman sitting on the chair and serving her a cup of hot tea, she finally calmed down: "You believe me, it was really that book that caused my husband's temperament to change drastically, and this book must have been tainted with the horror of it." ”

The cheongsam woman looked at the red lantern on the ceiling, and then at the wooden platform not far away, and was already convinced that this was an ominous bookstore, and that her husband's purchase of the books in the bookstore was the reason for the great change in her temperament.

Seeing that the fear on the woman's face didn't look like a fake, I began to believe that the horror bookstore was playing tricks, and tried to get more details from the woman's mouth: "By the way, apart from bad gambling and bad temper, what other strange behavior does your husband have?" ”

"Strange moves? Think about it. The cheongsam woman held the hot tea in both hands and fell into deep thought.

While the woman was pondering, I got up and pushed aside Li Fansen, and as for the scattered drunkards, I was also politely invited out of the store.

What the woman is about to say may involve the secrecy of the horror bookstore, and I don't want anyone else to hear it.

Just after I asked the drunkards away, the cheongsam woman's contemplation finally ended, and she said excitedly: "I remember, since my husband got this book, he often talked to himself alone, as if he was talking to a book. ”

"Talking to books? There's nothing strange about this book. I picked up the "Sichuan Mahjong Daquan" that fell to the ground, turned the pages and read it slowly.

There is nothing strange about the content of the book, which is basically to teach people how to play Sichuan mahjong.

"In addition to talking to books, I often see my husband going out late at night with a book, and I don't know where he went, and he didn't come back until dawn." The cheongsam woman's voice rang out again.

The more doubts I had in my mind, the more I had to ask, "Then where was the last time you saw your husband?" ”

The cheongsam woman thought for a while, and then replied in a hoarse voice: "In 301, Building D, Jinxiu Building, which is where my husband and I live. ”

"Splendid Building? Is it the splendid building in the southwest suburbs? I asked

"Yes, the housing prices in Xicheng are too high, and my husband and I can't afford them, so we have to buy a building in the suburbs." The eyes of the cheongsam woman flashed with a look of memory, presumably missing the time she shared with her husband.

"Didn't you call the police?" I put "Sichuan Mahjong" on the bar and asked in a deep voice.

"It's already reported."

"Did the police find any record of your husband leaving the city?"

"No, whether it is at the bus station or at the high-speed rail station, I can't find my husband's record of going out of the city, and he disappeared like this." The cheongsam woman's eyes were filled with tears.

I was a little overwhelmed and prevaricated, "I still think your husband may just be avoiding you, after all, you have already decided to divorce." ”

"No, it won't! Even if he wanted to avoid me, he wouldn't even bring his ID card! The cheongsam woman said categorically.

"He didn't even have an ID card?" A look of surprise crossed my face.

An adult can't do anything without an ID card, can't stay in a hotel, can't buy a ticket, so her husband shouldn't be avoiding her.

Could it be that her husband's disappearance really has something to do with the book? That's the trouble. "If the books sold in the horror bookstore will cause problems for customers, then should I continue to open the bookstore?

"No, this matter must be investigated, I don't want to make a big problem." After making a decision, I whispered to the cheongsam woman, "Can you show me your husband's ID card?" ”

"Yes, yes, but my husband's ID card was left at home." The cheongsam woman said with some embarrassment.
