Chapter 12 Murder in the Mall
Friday, August 8, fine.
Lu Qiushi squeezed off the bus and walked towards the Oriental Department Store with a relaxed pace. Today is Friday, tomorrow is the holiday, give Lin Xue a call in the evening and have a good chat. Lu Qiushi thought so.
From a distance, Lu Qiushi saw a bunch of people gathered in front of the main entrance of the mall.
It's strange, the employees have to go through the staff passage, what are they doing at the entrance of the mall. Why are there still policemen, and they have pulled a cordon, what happened?
After walking a few steps, Lu Qiushi came to the entrance of the mall, and heard a lot of discussion in the crowd.
"Did you hear about it, this mall is dead?"
"I heard that a woman died."
"I heard it seems to be a shopping guide."
"I heard that the death is miserable."
"I heard γγγγγγ"
Forget it, don't worry about it, it's important to go to work, don't be late, this month's attendance award. Lu Qiushi walked in the direction of the employee passage.
"Hello, please show your ID." The police also blocked the employee passage, and a twenty-four-five-year-old policeman stood in front of Lu Qiushi and asked.
"Documents? I'm an employee here. Oh, this is my work card. Lu Qiushi handed over the work card hanging around his neck.
The policeman took the work card, looked at the photo on it, then looked at Lu Qiushi, and said, "Go in." β
Lu Qiushi entered the mall, swiped his card, and took the elevator to the seventh floor. As soon as he walked into the office, Liang Shaojun asked, "Was it also checked when you came up?" β
"Sister Shaojun, do you know what's going on?" Several people from the office gathered around.
"I don't know, but when I came, I heard about dead people."
"I heard that Xiao Wang found out, and it scared Xiao Wang a lot." Xiao Fang answered.
"Xiao Wang found out? What's going on? "Human gossip knows no occasion.
"Aren't Xiao Wang and I in charge of the supermarket, we have to take turns every day to go to the bottom of the supermarket property half an hour in advance to see the stocking situation of the day. Yesterday it was me, today it's his turn. It seems that he found a dead person and called the police. β
"Do you think it could be that?"
"I guess so."
"August, sure enough, alas, but it's okay, it's finally over." Lao Li nodded with emotion.
Everyone understood something. Only Lu Qiushi didn't understand.
After everyone dispersed, Lu Qiushi pulled Liang Shaojun and asked, "Sister Shaojun, what has passed?" β
Liang Shaojun glanced at Lu Qiushi and whispered: "You forgot, I told you on your first day of work that people will die in our mall every August." β
"Not really, I thought it was just a coincidence."
One morning, no one had the heart to work, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Excuse me, are you Lu Qiushi?"
Lu Qiushi raised his head and saw two policemen standing in front of him, and asked himself that the one who was checking his documents in the morning.
Lu Qiushi nodded: "I am, do you have something to do with me?" β
"We have something we want you to know about." Lu Qiushi glanced at Manager Wei, who nodded and said, "Let's go to the conference room." β
Lu Qiushi took two policemen to the conference room and sat down.
"Introduce myself, my name is Liu Heng, I am from the criminal police team, this is my ID." As he spoke, he took out his police ID card from his jacket pocket and showed it.
"Don't be afraid, we just have some questions for you to understand."
Lu Qiushi nodded.
"You went to the storeroom last night, didn't you?"
"Yes, but I didn't do anything." Lu Qiushi was afraid of getting angry.
Liu Heng smiled: "It's okay, we didn't suspect you, we just wanted to know if you went to the warehouse last night and found something wrong?" β
"Nope." Of course, there is something wrong, such a big ghost, but there is no ghost, can it be right! But do I dare to say this, do you believe what I said?
"Then when you go to the storeroomγγγγγγ"
Liu Heng asked, Lu Qiushi replied, and another policeman kept recording. Finally finished asking.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, can you take a look at the record, if there is no problem, please sign it."
Lu Qiushi looked at the record, and there was no problem, so he signed.
"Okay, here's my contact information, feel free to call me if you think of anything. We'll go first, and we'll look for you when there's any problem. Liu Heng stretched out his hand, shook hands with Lu Qiushi, and left.
Lu Qiushi returned to his seat, and before he could sit down, Liang Shaojun came up: "Alas, Xiao Lu, what are the police looking for you?" β
"Hey, it's not like I was working overtime last night, I went to the warehouse again before I left, and it looked like I was the last to leave the warehouse."
At this time, Manager Wei also came over and asked, "Xiao Lu, what did you say to the police?" β
"It's nothing, I'll say whatever they ask me."
"Did you say anything haunted?"
"No, absolutely not, I still have this look."
Manager Wei smiled and said, "Yes, do a good job." Just now I received a call from the boss, saying that Xiao Wang has something to do and can't come to work in the near future, you hand over the work you are doing to Xiao Liang, you follow Xiao Fang first, and take over Xiao Wang's work. β
The death of the mall has had a certain impact on the reputation of the mall, and in order to recover the loss, certain promotions must be taken, and this weekend will have to work overtime.
Just after going to work in the afternoon, Lu Qiushi found Xiao Fang and asked, "Brother Fang, what do you see I have to do." β
"There's nothing left, Xiao Wang and I have already set up a promotion plan before, and now we just need to ensure that the stock is sufficient. Just check the stock situation of each manufacturer on a regular basis. β
Xiao Fang thought for a while, and then said: "If it's convenient for you, go and check the warehouse again, that happened last night, I don't know if the goods have been damaged, of course it's okay not to go." The other thing is to come early tomorrow morning, and I will take you to check the treasury and teach you something. β
"Okay Brother Fang, I know, I'll go now, I'll come half an hour early tomorrow morning." After saying that, he turned his head and left.
Xiao Fang glanced at Lu Qiushi's back and shook his head: "Young people now, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers." β
And Lu Qiushi was secretly happy, which could be regarded as having a legitimate reason to enter the warehouse. What if there are ghosts, what is there to be afraid of, is it easy to catch?
But are ghosts really that easy to catch?
Now the warehouse, if it is not for the empty shelves of the store, no one will want to enter.
As soon as I entered the warehouse, a fishy smell came to my nose. The detergent area, where the murder took place, is still isolated.
Lu Qiushi looked around, there was no one, and the entire warehouse was quiet.
"Lonely souls and wild ghosts have nothing to hide, yin and yang eyes, open!"
There was no change in the warehouse, and no ghosts were found, but the black gas became clearer and more obvious.
Lu Qiushi walked around the warehouse, but still didn't find anything, and finally, Lu Qiushi's eyes stayed in the isolated toiletry area. The black gas here seems to be much heavier than elsewhere. The blood stains on the ground were not cleaned up, Lu Qiushi looked at the blood stains on the ground and observed them carefully.
"Quack~" A strange laugh sounded in Lu Qiushi's ears.
