"Nope."

Although he knew that it was not so easy to accept rashly looking for someone to ask for negatives, Jia Chengxin's attitude really made Shen Yu very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

"Brother, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Shen."

"Okay, reporter Shen, I think you should have been a reporter for a while, don't you know that it is a rule not to ask people to look at photos or interview manuscripts among peers?"

Jia Chengxin said as he took out the cigarette paper and tobacco leaves, slowly rolled them into a cigarette roll, he lit the cigarette in front of Shen Yu, and spit out a smoke ring without any scruples. This arrogant attitude made Shen Yu even more unhappy, so he was no longer polite and said bluntly: "Because I suspect that there is something wrong with your photo." ”

Because of the anger in his heart, Shen Yu didn't control his voice, and this sentence suddenly resounded throughout the room. Everyone followed the sound, and the room was silent for a moment.

was said by Shen Yu, but Jia Chengxin didn't seem to be the slightest displeasure, his expression was relaxed and he spit out another puff of cigarette, and then he spoke: "This brother, doing our reporter's business is also about luck." Brother, I was lucky to have taken that picture. If you're lucky enough to have me, remember to take your camera around with you a lot. As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and glanced Shen Yu up and down, and smiled mockingly, "But a reporter like you probably can't even touch the camera, right?" ”

"I have my own camera!" Shen Yu was so excited that he couldn't help but take out his camera from his small bag and hold it up in front of Jia Chengxin, and when he saw the latter's sneering expression, he realized that he had been fooled, and hurriedly took back the camera and said: "I asked experts, people say that it is easy to fake photos, and I suspect that your photo is fake." ”

"Oh? What about the evidence? Jia Chengxin laughed.

"If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why don't you dare to take out the negatives for me to see?"

"I said, brother, you're just messing around. You came to me and said that my picture was fake, but you couldn't produce evidence, and you blamed me for not letting you see the negative. I've been a journalist for several years, and I've never seen you so unreasonable. Jia Chengxin spit out another puff of smoke rings, "Originally, if you had a better attitude, maybe I would have let you see the photo when I was happy, but you came up with empty teeth and said that my photo was fake, but don't blame me for being unreasonable." Anyway, I don't borrow photos and negatives, if you have the ability, you can pay for them. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, since the morning several people have come to buy my picture and negatives. If your price is high enough, maybe I can consider it. ”

"Manager Wang just now also came to buy photos from you?" Shen Yu asked.

Jia Chengxin sneered, obviously not falling into Shen Yu's suit: "Whatever you think, in short, I'm going to work now, so I won't send it." ”

After speaking, Jia Chengxin turned around and left.

Although he didn't get the negatives, Shen Yu felt that he didn't get nothing on this trip. Manager Wang of Taixing Watch Company went to Jia Chengxin, obviously they were afraid of his report. It seems that the fire of that year, Taixing Watch Company may have really played a bad role in it.

Shen Yu originally wanted to return to the newspaper office to continue to study this strange case, but he didn't want to be carried into the hut by the editor-in-chief Hou alone as soon as he returned. Editor-in-Chief Hou closed the door, stared at Shen Yu and said, "What did you just do?" ”

Shen Yu's heart trembled, and he replied calmly: "I went out to eat." ”

"Eat? I think you're out to make trouble! Editor-in-Chief Hou glared, "Shangren's Xinshi Daily, open your mouth and ask for negatives, and if you don't give them, you will say that people's photos are fake, why don't you just grab them?!" ”

Shen Yu didn't expect Editor-in-Chief Hou to know what he was doing so quickly, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Is it the complaint of the surnamed Jia?!" ”

"It was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who called!" Editor-in-Chief Hou continued to reprimand angrily, "Kick the hall at the door, can you bear it?" Peers can't bully each other, I haven't taught you this rule?! ”

"But the editor-in-chief, there's obviously something wrong with his photo!"

"Do you have proof?" Editor-in-Chief Hou asked Shen Yu dumbly with a rhetorical question, "What kind of trouble are you going to make trouble there without evidence?!" The face of our Kanto newspaper has been disgraced by you! If you look like this again, don't blame me for letting you roll up and go out! ”

Shen Yu was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say anything. He knew that what he had just done was not particularly authentic, and the most important thing was that he must not lose this job now.

Editor-in-chief Hou saw that he no longer argued, and his anger subsided slightly, and he ordered: "You give me a stop in the last few days, go, go to the historical museum, and catalog all the newspapers." ”

"What?!" Shen Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, "Editor-in-chief, there are so many newspapers in there......"

"What's wrong? No, you should be running around again. Don't you love to read newspapers from two years ago? Then you start from that year, and every edition of it will be! If I don't see the catalog tomorrow morning, you won't even think about taking a penny from your salary this month!! ”

The so-called cataloguing is to make an index record of the content of the newspaper to facilitate the use of information. Kanto Daily has always had the habit of editing, but in the past, it only recorded the news on the front page, but now the editor-in-chief Hou asked Shen Yu to make all the pages, which is clearly a punishment.

"Really, a year of cataloging! It's going to take another day to finish, isn't this bullying......" Shen Yu rubbed his wrist. He has been copying from noon today to now, and it seems that it is already more than six o'clock in the evening, but he has only done less than half of his work. It seems that he is destined to stay up until dawn at the newspaper office tonight.

Unlike those tabloid newspapers, Kanto Daily has its own printing workshop. Every day, when the reporters finished their manuscripts for the day, the workers in the printing room began to get busy. They had to typeset and print all the manuscripts overnight. That's why the Kanto Ilbo office has to stay late every day to actually turn off the lights and lock the door. Shen Yu rubbed his shriveled stomach, and was thinking about whether to stay up here tonight, when he heard a voice from the door: "Is Shen Yu here?" ”

Shen Yu unexpectedly found that this voice was somewhat familiar, he walked out to take a look, and unexpectedly found that the person who came was Gu Congzhou.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Shen Yu walked over in surprise.

"I got off work and wanted to go to your house to see you, but I knocked on the door and found no one. So I went to the newspaper office to take a look. Gu Congzhou said, "Are you very busy today?" "Oh, don't mention it." Shen Yu made a bitter face, "I was caught by Sun Monkey again for my pigtails." ”

Shen Yu once gave Gu Congzhou the nickname of the editor-in-chief Hou Sun, so Gu Congzhou knew who he was talking about. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you messing with him again?" ”

"It's hard to say......" Shen Yu waved his hand, "Have you eaten dinner?" Seeing Gu Congzhou shaking his head, he hurriedly said, "Eh, that's just right, let's go and eat something with me." Let's talk while eating. ”

Shen Yu took Gu Congzhou to a wonton shop, Gu Congzhou asked for a bowl of pork wontons, and Shen Yu looked at the menu, and finally ordered a bowl of vegetarian wontons.

"Didn't you say that the pork ravioli here is the best? Why did you order vegetarian today? Gu Congzhou felt a little strange.

"Ah," Shen Yu was embarrassed to say that he was financially constrained now, so he made up a reason, "That, my stomach has not been very good in the past two days, and eating some vegetarian food is easy to digest." ”

Shen Yu said it casually, but Gu Congzhou frowned when he heard it: "Bad stomach?" What are the specific symptoms? Nausea or diarrhea or constipation? ”

Shen Yu forgot that Gu Congzhou was a more serious doctor, and hurriedly covered it up: "It's not that serious, it's just a little bit of food accumulation, just two empty stomachs." Seeing that Gu Congzhou frowned slightly and seemed to want to say something, he quickly changed the topic: "By the way, you came to me today for something?" ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal," Gu Congzhou smiled, "I read the newspaper today and saw a very magical piece of news, I originally thought it was made up by a reporter, but when I looked at the reporter, I found that it was actually you." As he spoke, he took out the newspaper from his pocket, "I felt a little curious, so I came over to check it out." ”

"The one I took was absolutely real. As for what other people have taken, I don't know. Shen Yu took a sip of the wonton soup bowl and replied lazily.

"Others?" Gu Congzhou heard Shen Yu's voice, "Anyone else has also been photographed?" ”

"You didn't see that?" Shen Yu has always been a person who can't hide his words, Gu Congzhou's question, he crackled and told Gu Congzhou about the photos of the "New World Daily" and all the things caused by it.

“…… As a result, that villain actually called our editor-in-chief to sue me, and as soon as I returned to the newspaper office, I was scolded by the editor-in-chief......" Shen Yu said as he chewed the wonton hatefully.

"You're a little anxious," Gu Congzhou finally understood, and helped analyze, "If you say that other people's photos are fake without credentials, people will naturally be unhappy." ”

"I just want to prove that his photo is fake, so I want to get the negative!"

"But if you say that now, people will definitely not give you negatives." Gu Congzhou told this cruel truth.

Shen Yu pouted—this was where he was depressed now.

"However," Gu Congzhou also took a bite of the wonton and said, "If you want everyone to know that he is cheating, it's not that there is no way." ”

When Shen Yu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "What way?" ”

"Didn't you just say that you have a master who knows how to fake photos? I think you can do an interview with him and ask him to explain how to fake photos, and make a few of these photos as well. In this way, don't everyone know that the reporter's photo is fake? ”

"That's right!" Shen Yu instantly enlightened, "I asked Master Yu to also make a photo of a human head in the fire, so I didn't say that you faked, but everyone has eyes, and you can understand what's going on at a glance!" What a great idea! Shen Yu patted Gu Congzhou's back violently, "Sure enough, you still have a way!" ”

Gu Congzhou smiled: "It's just clever." However, I think that even if you don't expose him, Taixing Watch will probably take some measures. Didn't you just say that the manager who met them went to the reporter too? ”

"Eh, speaking of which, I think there is something wrong with Taixing Watch Company!" Shen Yu said, "You said that if they don't have a ghost in their hearts, why should they go to that reporter!" ”

"Not necessarily. Or maybe someone has ulterior motives and deliberately wants to frame Taixing Biaoxing? Gu Congzhou gave another point of view, "Think about it, the black mark on the floor of Taixing Watch Store and this photo appeared almost on the same day, how can there be such a coincidence?" Moreover, you also said that Taixing Watch Store has been closed for three days because of the black mark on the ground, and now that there is news of haunting, they are afraid that they will not be able to live in peace for a while. ”

"That's right. It must be that their watches are too expensive, which makes people angry. Shen Yu thought of the 180-ocean watch and said hatefully.

Gu Congzhou smiled - there may be many reasons behind this bizarre haunted incident, but it will not be the one Shen Yu said. However, Gu Congzhou didn't mean to give Shen Yu a detailed analysis, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I've finished eating, where are you going next?" ”

"Me? I still have to return to the club and continue to do cataloguing......" As soon as he mentioned this, Shen Yu had a bitter face again. "I'm probably really angry with the editor-in-chief today, and if I can't finish it tomorrow, I think he might really deduct my salary......"

"How much more do you have to do?"

"There's five months left......"

Gu Congzhou saw Shen Yu's sad face, thought for a while, and said, "That's it, if you pay for this meal, I'll help you do cataloging, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, I can do it myself." ”

"What, you don't want to be treated?" Gu Congzhou pretended to stare at him.

"It's not! How many people are there in a bowl of ravioli? I mean, I don't need you to copy it for me, I don't know what time I'm going to get this thing, and you've got to work tomorrow! ”

"If you're lucky, I'll rest tomorrow." Gu Congzhou stood up, "So, you hurry up and pay the bill, let's go back to work!" ”

With Gu Congzhou's help, the speed of work was much faster, but Rao was like this, and the two of them did not finish it completely until more than eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. Shen Yu was so moved by Gu Congzhou's righteousness that he had to take Gu Congzhou to his house, and after returning home, he also gave him two ears of sweet corn.

"Thank you so much for today. I thought I'd have to spend the night at the newspaper. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a pen." Gu Cong was nibbling on corn and said, "Actually, I don't think even if you really can't finish it, your editor-in-chief won't really deduct your salary." ”

"Well, you don't understand." Shen Yu waved his hand indescribably.

After the two of them finished supper, it was already the second half of the night. At this hour, it was inconvenient for Gu Congzhou to go home again, so he stayed with Shen Yu for a night.

"Speaking of which, why do I think you're here with something less than I was last here?" Gu Congzhou looked around the room and asked a little uncertainly. He always felt that Shen Yu's house seemed to be a little more empty than before, but he had only been here once or twice before, and he didn't remember it very clearly.

"Oh, it's nothing, I cleaned up the house the other day and threw away some useless ones." Shen Yu said a word.

In order to raise money in the past few days, Shen Yu has actually lost some things, including his fountain pen and a cotton robe for the winter. However, he didn't really want to tell Gu Congzhou this. He and Gu Congzhou had actually known each other for a short time, and Shen Yu felt that he was not familiar enough to borrow money from him—especially such a large sum of money.

The two of them were busy for a long time tonight, and they were both a little tired, so they went to bed and went to bed early. Originally, Shen Yu planned to get up quietly the next day and let Gu Congzhou sleep for a while, but who would have thought that they would be woken up by the sound of a hurried knock on the door early in the morning, and when Shen Yu opened the door, he was shocked again, because there were actually two policemen wearing patrol clothes standing outside.

"You are Shen Yu?" One of them looked at the road.

"It's me." Shen Yu looked at the two of them a little wary, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"If you have something to look for, come back to the patrol room with us."

The two of them stepped forward to take Shen Yu's arms as they spoke, and Shen Yu saw that something was wrong and shouted and hid back: "Huh? What are you doing?! Why do you arrest people casually!? ”

"What's wrong?" When Gu Congzhou heard the voice, he also rushed out of the house, and was also taken aback when he saw the situation outside, "What's wrong?" ”

"The patrol room handles the case, you will know when you arrive." The two of them said, still coming forward to arrest Shen Yu. Gu Congzhou knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly took out two silver dollars from his coat pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the two policemen: "Two, two, if you have something to say, speak slowly!" This is my friend, can you tell me what happened? ”

The two policemen got the money, and then they let go of their hands, and the one in the lead said, "You brother, you may be involved in a life lawsuit." ”
