Li Changqing put on a black windbreaker, took off the fedora on the other side of the clothes pole, brushed the dust, put it on, and then picked up the cane on the wall and walked to the door, and opened the door for Tang Xiaoyu very gentlemanly.

The latter had already changed the cartoon pajamas on his body back to the long white dress at this time, but he just took two steps out and hesitated: "Forget it, I always feel that it is a little scary to go out for a walk like this." ”

Without waiting for Li Changqing to respond, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and got into his fedora.

Then he sneezed, "Li Changqing, you haven't washed your fedora for two weeks, it stinks inside!" ”

"Coward!"

Li Changqing complained weakly, no longer forcing the other party, and locked the door of the detective office.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, "Is the money hidden?" ”

"Hide it, hide it, old place, thieves can't steal it, right? Stinky and heavy ......" Tang Xiaoyu was confident.

……

The "two people" took a leisurely walk to the bus stop two hundred meters away, waited for more than ten minutes, and took the No. 13 bus to Dongcheng District.

There is the largest incense candle antique furniture market in Nanlin City. Tang Xiaoyu insisted on buying a bargain at a roadside stall near the detective office last time, and suffered a big loss, and the most unbearable thing in the life of Li Changqing, a straight man in his previous life who didn't find out the problem in time, was to lose face in front of girls.

Even if the other party is actually a female ghost, it is only a female ghost who is better looking than Wang Zuxian and Liu Yifei in the previous life!

Although Li Changqing has often been affected by the deep-rooted frugal thinking engraved in his bones in the memory fragments left by this body since he crossed over, the pride of machismo in his previous life still made him make the decision to buy the most high-end incense and candles.

The face that has been lost, be sure to buy it back with your own hands!

When you come to Babao Street Station in Dongcheng District, you can see many shops selling incense, candles, and paper money when you get off the train.

Li Changqing walked nearly 100 meters casually, chose a shop with the most gorgeous decoration and walked in.

In addition to incense candles, the shop sells prayer beads, jade and statues of some gods.

There seems to be no Buddhism and Taoism in this world, but there are some similar religions, but Li Changqing didn't have time to pay attention to the meaning behind these specious props that were plausible to Buddhism and Taoism in his previous life, he walked straight to the incense candle counter, pointed to the four rows of incense on the counter and asked, "Can you take it out for me to see?" ”

"I wonder which one you'd like to see?"

The sales lady smiled and introduced: "All the incense in our longevity sacrifice shop is imported from the Hongshan Kingdom, and it is qualified to be offered to the highest grade temple sacrifice!" ”

Li Changqing: "Can you take it all out and take a look?" I want to smell it all. ”

The sales lady hesitated: "Guest, we can usually only take up to three kinds from the counter for comparison, and the grades of these incense are very different......

Li Changqing said lightly: "I promise to buy at least one, and the amount will not be less." ”

The sales lady immediately put her hands and feet out neatly......

Li Changqing was just about to choose, but there was a wail in his hat: "Li Changqing, you are so stupid!" How will you bargain like this? And these incense are so expensive......"

"You've done a great job this time, and the institute has decided to increase your benefits by adding your meal allowance to your monthly budget. In the past, if you didn't have food supplements, it was a dereliction of duty in the office, but now this is called fairness. This is a matter of principle. Li Changqing said.

And he added: "Smell them all, and see which one or which you like." ”

"Is that so? That...... Well......"

Flicker success!

Li Changqing picked up the incense one by one and put it to his nose and pretended to smell it, his movements were very slow, his expression seemed to be very enjoyable, and he looked at the sales lady and muttered in her heart, "This guest is so high and so detailed, I want to say that I understand it very well, but his gesture of pinching incense is very amateurish, and it is easy for the incense heads to collide and rub against each other." And this incense is not a cigarette, how can he come to his nose and take a deep breath, isn't he afraid of inhaling the granular powder? But to say that he doesn't understand, the ones he has studied for the longest time every time he chooses incense are all expert varieties with good quality and reputation......"

Minutes and seconds passed.

Fortunately, today is Thursday, and there are few customers in the evening, otherwise the smile on the sales lady's face would have been hanging up for a long time.

Half an hour passed unconsciously.

When Li Changqing finally put down the incense in his hand, stopped making movements, and showed a thoughtful expression on his face, the sales lady's originally stiff expression suddenly relaxed, and said expectantly: "The guest has been chosen?" ”

Li Changqing didn't answer immediately, because Tang Xiaoyu was still struggling in his hat:

"That deer fragrance should taste very sweet, but what should I do if I eat too much and get fat......

"That Qiongxiang No. 3 has a unique taste, but I feel that I should get tired of it after a long time......"

“……”

Li Changqing was speechless, raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Tang Xiaoyu understood in seconds: "Then choose ...... Choose...... Choose Pi Wenxiang, that one is clear but not light, and the taste is just ......"

"If I buy 15 catties of gentian incense, 2 catties of orchid incense, and 3 catties of Sanskrit incense, will the whole be discounted by 5 percent?" Li Changqing didn't seem to hear Tang Xiaoyu's exclamation, and continued to point to a few of the high-end incense on the countertop.

Tang Xiaoyu was entangled and selected, all of which were relatively cheap incense, but the fluctuations in her ghostly aura in the process of choosing incense could be clearly felt by Li Changqing, who already had a certain amount of mana cultivation, after all, the other party was hiding in his hat.

And the incense he chose at the moment is really the most soothing when Tang Xiaoyu tastes it, which means that these are Tang Xiaoyu's favorites.

It's just that these are expensive:

A product of gentian incense, 20 lang yuan / catty.

Special orchid incense, 50 lang coins / catty.

Special incense, 60 lang yuan / catty.

And they are all high-end storage boxes for buying incense, which are introduced in the product description, as long as they are well kept, they will not regain even if they are placed for a year or two.

The poor sales lady on the other side of the counter was originally full of joy when she heard the variety and catty that the customer wanted to buy.

But when he listened to Li Changqing's final request for a five-percent discount, his face suddenly fell.

"Guest...... Guest, we are a high-end store here, not wholesale, your discount is simply more ruthless than the wholesale price......"

"Beauty, look, what about me, I chose it with you for half an hour, I must really want to buy it, right?"

Li Changqing smiled and continued: "Isn't it better for customers like me who have fixed high demand and have relatively large demand, to give me more discounts and let me be a repeat customer, and even expect me to help you attract more customers in my life circle?" ”

"But ......"

"Alas, forget it, I don't embarrass you, then give you a six-fold discount, let's take a step back......"

Five minutes later, Li Changqing left Babao Street with three bags of exquisite goods and took the bus to the next target location, An Ran Restaurant.

Along the way, Tang Xiaoyu was so happy that he couldn't speak clearly:

"Li Changqing, sixty-five fold, you are so powerful, this time it is really worth it... True value! ”

"I made a lot of money tonight, 20 catties of incense is so expensive, Li Changqing, I actually cut off 200 lang coins in a few clicks for you......"

"Li Changqing, I... I didn't think you were buying, it was... It's a robbery, and I almost didn't have a knife! ”

"Li Changqing ......"

Li Changqing ignored her, pretending to be calm and admiring the scenery on both sides of the road.

In fact, he was secretly happy in his heart, because this was the first time in his two lives that he took a "girl" to shop.

The Enron Hotel is on the way home for Li Changqing and them, and it is actually less than three kilometers away from the Changqing Detective Agency.

I got off the bus and came to the door of the hotel.

The doorman opened the wooden door, and Li Changqing walked into the lobby. This is a hotel with rural characteristics, with a fresh and natural decoration style, in the words of Li Changqing's previous life, it is a petty bourgeois atmosphere.

A waiter greeted him with a standard professional smile on his face: "Sir, do you have an appointment?" ”

"Ms. Fang."

"Wait a minute."

The waiter walked to the front desk and then came back, "Guest, Ms. Fang is waiting for you in the A08 private room, please come here." ”

"Tired."

Li Changqing followed the waiter up the escalator to the second floor and walked to the fourth room on the left.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch, it was exactly eight o'clock.

Knock.

When he entered the private room, Li Changqing nodded politely to the young lady who got up to greet him across the table, "I've been waiting." ”

"Detective Li, it's an honor to meet you."

"Me too."

Li Changqing said politely, then took off his fedora and hung it on the clothes pole by the door, while observing the other party without a trace. This is the professional habit that he developed in his predecessor, which he inherited.

This lady Fang wore a black shawl on her shoulders, a red dress, pearl necklaces and other valuable jewelry, and light makeup on her face.

After pulling out the chair and sitting down, Li Changqing noticed that although the other party was well maintained, there were still some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his actual age would be about thirty.

In addition, although there was a trace of anxiety hidden between her eyebrows, she was very polite, and still accompanied Li Changqing to order food without hurry, and did not immediately express her intentions.

She should come from a family that values education, and her husband should have a decent job and be a good match......

When the waiter left the private room with the menu, Ms. Fang said, "Li Tan, my name is Fang Qing, and I am the general manager of Linmei Property Group. ”

"I heard that Linmei Group ranks among the top three in Nanlin in terms of property, and Manager Fang is the general manager at such a young age, which is really a female talent."

After complimenting, Li Changqing then smiled and cut to the chase: "Manager Fang, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Fang Qing didn't explain immediately, but took out a newspaper from the satchel she was carrying, put it in front of Li Changqing's desk, and her face became solemn: "Li Zhen, a community under our company encountered a strange thing. I don't know if you've read this yesterday's newspaper......"

"Well, it's been reported?"

Li Changqing picked up the newspaper with great interest and looked at the news that the other party was referring to, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
