Chapter 12: Dead Souls-02

"What?!" Shen Yu was so surprised that he cried out. Xiao Hu hurriedly made a "silence" gesture, and Shen Yu also quickly covered his mouth. He looked around, and realized that the newspaper office was indeed much messier than before. Shen Yu turned around and asked, "What was stolen?" ”

"Film."

"What?" Shen Yu was a little surprised, "Film? Just, film?! ”

"Yes, just film." Hu Xueqin nodded, "From the warehouse to the darkroom, all the film is gone." ”

"Didn't lose your camera?" Shen Yu asked.

"It's strange here," Xiao Hu whispered to Shen Yu and bit his ears, "I didn't lose any of the cameras, the thief unloaded all the film in the camera, but didn't take any of the cameras." Moreover, the washed out photos are still there, only the film is gone. Are you interesting? ”

"Hey, that's weird." Shen Yu touched his chin, "You said that although film is not cheap, compared to dozens of oceanic cameras, it is also a small amount of money, right?" The thief only stole film and not cameras...... "Could it be that someone has taken something that shouldn't have been taken?"

Shen Yu was secretly pondering, and at this moment, the vice president and the patrol seemed to have agreed on something, and several people walked over here together. The reporters immediately stopped talking.

"Who used a camera in the other day?" The older of the two police officers asked.

Several journalists raised their hands.

"What did you guys shoot? Who have you ever had an argument with? ”

Several reporters looked at each other and shook their heads.

"In my experience as a police officer, this kind of theft is often done by insiders." The policeman continued, "The fact that the thief only took the film and not the camera shows that he himself has a camera; And the reason why he stole film was that he wanted to buy film but couldn't afford it, so he set his sights on the ...... in the newspaper"

With his analysis, more and more people looked at Shen Yu. Even Editor-in-Chief Hou cast a glance. If you have a camera in the newspaper and are too poor to afford film, you can't find a second person besides Shen Yu......

Shen Yu also noticed everyone's gaze, and hurriedly defended loudly: "It's not me!" I bought my camera and film myself! ”

The policeman noticed that Shen Yu was subconsciously holding the small bag on his side when he spoke, and suddenly became suspicious. He walked up to Shen Yu, pointed to his small bag and ordered, "Bring the bag, I want to check it." ”

Shen Yu has always kept the camera film with him because he is very precious to him, and when he heard the policeman say this, he suddenly became even more nervous: "I have a camera and film here, but I bought this film myself, not me stole it!" ”

"Do you have proof?"

"I ...... By the way, I still have the tickets for the film, and I can take them to you at my house! ”

"It's not surprising that you've bought a film or two, and there's no indication on the film where you bought it." The policeman obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Shen Yu's gaze more and more like looking at a prisoner, "What's your name?" Where was last night? ”

"I ......" when Shen Yu was at a loss, the younger policeman on the side whispered to his colleague: "I don't think this little reporter is like a thief." In addition to the storeroom and darkroom, the rest of the newspaper office has also been turned into a disgraced place, which shows that the thief did not know where the film was placed, so the perpetrator obviously did not know the layout of the place. ”

"That's it!" Shen Yu heard that this person was helping himself, so he hurriedly echoed loudly, "If I steal the film, will I make this place like this?!" ”

"Maybe you're doing this on purpose to cover yourself!"

"I ......" Shen Yu felt speechless, he was so anxious that he subconsciously looked around, suddenly, his eyes swept to the table of the editor-in-chief Hou, and then his eyes lit up, he pointed to the table of the editor-in-chief Hou and said loudly: "If I am really a thief, I will go and even turn over the editor-in-chief's table, he always has a roll of film there!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately looked at Editor-in-Chief Hou, and Editor-in-Chief Hou's face was red and white, and he shouted: "Shen Yu, what do you mean?!" ”

"Editor-in-chief Hou has always had a roll of film in the box on his desk, but now his desk is neat and tidy, and it is clear that no one has turned it over." Shen Yu said, and pointed to the door again, "You see, the tables outside are all messed up, and the tables inside have not been touched. The thief apparently started to climb through the door as soon as he entered, and when he found the darkroom, he gave up flipping through the table and went straight to the darkroom to look for film. And everyone in our newspaper knows that the desks of the president, vice president, and editor-in-chief of our newspaper are all in it, and even if someone has film, it must be that some of them may be bigger than ours. This person left the table of the president and editor-in-chief and didn't turn it over, but turned over ours, doesn't it just show that this person doesn't know about our newspaper and did it by outsiders?! ”

After Shen Yu finished analyzing, the room was quiet for a while. Everyone didn't expect him to be able to say such an analysis that seemed to be the truth, and everyone's faces had different expressions for a while. However, after listening to Shen Yu's words, the young police officer walked to the table of Editor-in-Chief Hou, and he rummaged through the small box on Editor-in-Chief Hou's desk for a while, and sure enough, he found a box of untouched film.

Editor-in-Chief Hou's expression was a little embarrassed, and he turned his head to explain to Vice President Qin, but Vice President Qin turned his head to the policeman first: "Sergeant Yao, I don't think this is like someone from our company did it." I still have a lot of trust in the character of our newspaper reporters. You may need to look into this matter carefully. ”

The Sergeant Yao nodded with a shelf: "Okay, we will continue to investigate this matter." Wait for news. ”

"Okay." Vice President Qin nodded, "I'll send the two of you out." ”

Vice President Qin led the two policemen out, Sergeant Yao walked in front, and the young policeman walked behind, when passing by Shen Yu's side, the man glanced at Shen Yu, and when the two met their eyes, the corner of the man's mouth showed a slight smile and nodded slightly.

A few people left, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed. Xiao Hu grabbed Shen Yu and exclaimed, "Shen Yu, you can do it!" You've just analyzed the truth! I can't see that you still have this ability! ”

"Hehe, it's okay......" Shen Yu responded absentmindedly, feeling desperate in his heart. Just now, he was in a hurry to defend himself and pulled the editor-in-chief into the water, but at this moment, seeing the face of the editor-in-chief Hou like the bottom of the iron pot, he realized that his salary advance was probably hopeless......

September 7.

Shen Yu held his camera and rubbed on the road. In the past few days, he has been trying to find a way to raise money, but Shen Yu was originally a small reporter, although he has worked hard to save money in recent years, but it is only 40 oceans, he wanted to discuss with the newspaper about a few months' salary advance, but because he accidentally angered the editor-in-chief Hou, this road was cut off. He had agreed with the blackmail party for a week, but seeing that there was not much time left, Shen Yu had to make a painful decision: to take off his camera.

Speaking of this camera, it is really Shen Yu's biggest treasure. I think it cost more than a dozen oceans to buy this camera at the beginning, which is Shen Yu's salary for three or four months. To be discarded now is as uncomfortable as cutting your heart. However, for the safety of the two ancestors, Shen Yu had to endure the pain of cutting his love.

Although I know this truth in my heart, it is not so easy to actually do it. In the short journey from home to the pawnshop, Shen Yu walked for half an hour before he arrived. It was the Midyear Festival, and the streets were full of people burning paper money ingots, and the faint smell of fireworks and the sad atmosphere made Shen Yu feel sad in his heart.

He was walking slowly, when suddenly, there was a strange movement in front of him. I saw a lot of people gathered together, talking about something, and they were all surprised and surprised, and they didn't know what they had heard. Shen Yu was curious, and couldn't help but take two more steps, and as soon as he approached, he heard one of them say to the other, "Have you heard?" Taixing watch shop is haunted! ”

It was a middle-aged man who was standing by a teahouse, his tone full of surprise and a hint of excitement. There were a lot of people gathered around this person, all of whom asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"In the middle of the night last night, a fire suddenly broke out in the house of Taixing Watch Company, and some people thought it was on fire at that time, and hurriedly wanted to open the door to save it, but before they could pry the door open, they found that the fire was extinguished. As soon as everyone saw it, they felt evil, and it was the Midyear Festival, so they all hurried back to their respective homes. And guess what, this morning? ”

"What's wrong?"

"As soon as the people from their Taixing watch store opened the door this morning, they found that there was a black piece in the middle of their floor, and the shape was a person lying on the ground!!"

"Ahh "What?!" There were exclamations, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Uncle!" Shen Yu finally couldn't help it, he squeezed into the crowd and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course, why am I lying like this? If you don't believe it, go to Taixing Watch Store to see if they have that black mark on the ground! ”

Hearing this, Shen Yu instantly came to his senses, and he didn't care about the pawn, so he ran to Taixing Watch Company with the camera.

At this moment, outside the door of Taixing Watch Store, it is already crowded. The people made a bunch of twos and threes, all pointing and discussing. Shen Yu noticed that these people were talking about "haunted" and "on fire", and it was obvious that what the man said just now was not happy. So Shen Yu walked quickly through the crowd, stepped on the steps, and ran directly into the Taixing watch store-

"Wipe it well! You must dry it for me......" The moment he pushed the door open, Shen Yu heard Manager Wang nagging and training people again. Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Manager Wang instantly stopped scolding, and he turned his head and said, "I'm sorry, we're ...... for the time being." Why are you again?! ”

I don't know if he was too tired of Shen Yu or too anxious by the rumors of haunting, but when he saw that it was Shen Yu, Manager Wang unabashedly showed his impatience.

However, Shen Yu didn't care about this, and from the moment he entered the room, his eyes were attracted by the black marks on the floor in the middle of the room. As rumored to be, the mark on the ground was a black line, and the line clearly outlined the shape of a human being.

Shen Yu's eyes lit up - this is simply big news!

Thinking of this, Shen Yu almost didn't think about it, just picked up the camera and took a picture of it on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Only then did Manager Wang notice that Shen Yu was actually holding a camera in his hand. He hurriedly went over to stop him, but after all, he was still a step slower than Shen Yu.

"I said, why don't you take pictures without the permission of the owner!" Manager Wang lost his temper, "Which newspaper are you from?!" Who let you take pictures! ”

"When a reporter sees the news, of course he has to report it!" Shen Yu replied confidently, "Speaking of Manager Wang, what do you say about this mark on the floor?" ”

"I, what do I say? This is someone's prank! Manager Wang glared, and then he looked at the little clerk who was looking dumbfounded with a dun cloth in his hand, and scolded loudly: "Don't you wipe it clean for me yet!" ”

"Oh......" The little clerk came back to his senses and hurriedly rubbed the cloth hard, but the black marks on the ground seemed to be engraved on the floor, and the little clerk wiped it several times not only did not erase the slightest bit, but seemed to make the black more obvious.

Over there, Shen Yu was also unrelenting: "You said it was a prank, so may I ask who Taixing has offended?" Who do you think is playing a prank? ”

"How do I know who's playing a prank, anyway, we're going to close the store now and take inventory, please leave first!"

"I want to see that watch......"

"Sorry not right now, I want to see you come back tomorrow! ……”

……

"Really, I'm a 'guest' anyway, just pushing me out like this, what kind of hospitality." Shen Yu pouted and muttered. Just now, he was dragged out of the door by Manager Wang, and speaking of which, this is probably the first time that Taixing has been in the business. However, the more Manager Wang looks like this, the more it shows that he has a ghost in his heart, and Taixing is acting on this "haunted" thing, and it seems that there must be a hidden secret behind it.

Shen Yu was about to find someone to inquire, but at this moment he heard an old man next to him sneer: "This is called retribution......

As soon as he heard this, and then looked at the old man's expression, Shen Yu immediately understood that he had found someone. He took two steps forward and said, "Uncle, what do you mean by 'retribution' just now?" ”

The old man glanced at Shen Yu and asked, "Young man, you only came to Kanto City in the past two years, right?" ”

"Yes."

The old man nodded as expected: "I see that you are also new here." If you had been here two years ago, you would have heard of the fire in the middle street. ”

"It's on fire here?!"

"yes, that's the place." The old man said, raising his chin and pointing to the position of Taixing's watch, "Moreover, there is also a soul who died in the fire!" ”
