Seeing someone walk into the store, the old man sitting on a chair drinking tea stood up and looked at Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Lin Di who walked into the store.

Reading glasses were placed on the tip of his nose, and he subconsciously tilted his head to look at people with the help of the lenses of his glasses.

Ma Jianping and Supervisor Jueshui stood outside the store and waited.

"May I ask your master's surname?" Lin Di walked up to the old man.

The old man put the purple sand teapot on the chair and said with a smile: "Don't be expensive, the surname is Zhang." ”

"You are Master Zhang Yijian?"

"My person is Zhang Yijian, what are you looking for me?"

"Master Zhang, we want to delay you a little bit and ask you about something."

"You may be seated." The old man pointed to a row of chairs by the wall.

There were five chairs on the wall, and on two chairs sat an old lady and a young girl.

Looks like they're waiting for clothes.

On a sewing machine, a girl is locking buttonholes with a sewing machine.

She kept her hands and feet, just bowed her head and did her own thing.

Zhao Zimeng and the three of them sat on the chair, and the old man picked up the teapot and moved the chair to Zhao Zimeng.

"What are you looking for me?"

"Master Zhang, we heard that there used to be a 'Ayu tailor shop' on this street."

"Yes, there used to be this tailor shop."

"When did this tailor shop not do it?"

"It's been more than ten years, and before, their business had been good, but somehow, they suddenly stopped doing it."

"Does Master Zhang remember the specific time?"

"I'm old and my memory is poor, Wenxiu, come here."

Wenxiu is the girl who is locking the buttonhole.

Wen Xiu put down the clothes in his hand, stood up and walked to the old man.

"Wenxiu, when did Ayu's tailor shop not do it?"

"It was fourteen years ago—the year the master accepted Wenxiu as an apprentice."

When Zhao Zimeng heard this, he suddenly realized that this was too coincidental! It was in that year that he "died" of illness.

"Excuse me, what month of the year did the tailor shop not do it?"

"It's the middle of June."

"How can you remember the middle of June so clearly?"

"At that time, it was a little hot, and people were already wearing short-sleeved shirts."

Jiecheng "died" on May 29, and Ayu, that is, Yurong, left in mid-June.

There seems to be a precedence between the two.

"Is the name of the owner of this tailor shop, Ayu, Yurong?"

"We only know that her name is Ayu, and we don't know what her surname is." Master Zhang said, "We don't know much about her situation. ”

"How old is this Ayu?"

"In her thirties—I'm talking about when she left, she was a tailor in '58, and she was 17 or 8 years old."

This age is about the same as Zang Yurong's age, and it is also relatively close to the time when Zang Yurong left Zang's house.

"Do you know, why Ayu's tailor shop is closed?"

"We also wondered how clever that woman was and how good she looked. There are women and men who ask her to make clothes, and the business has been very good - and it is the business of regular customers. Our peers are red-eyed. “

"After Ayu left, many people came to the door. Some people are still asking where she is. Master Zhang said.

"Some time before Ayu left, her tailor's shop stopped taking new jobs." Wenxiu said, "Ayu also introduced customers to our store. ”

"Where did Ayu go?"

"We don't know, she is very popular on this street, she is always smiling and very polite. But she never said more than half a word to others, and she never mentioned her past to others. ”

"No one on this street knows what she's going to do."

"Is her shop here, and her place of residence here?"

"It's not here."

"Where?"

"No one on this street knows where she lives, and that's what we find weird."

"There are many more things that people can't guess—" Wen Xiu said.

"What else is there that you can't guess?"

"Although she is in her thirties, she can't see her age at all, on this street, there are many people who introduce her to her, and there are many men who like her, and the men's conditions are very good, but she doesn't look down on it at all, so it shouldn't be this thing."

"The boss of the pottery shop opposite likes Ayu very much, and asked me to tell Ayu twice."

"What did Ayu say?"

"She said someone had already introduced her, and she was a good person."

"But I can't see the real chapter. No matter who introduces her to a partner, she always says so, when someone has a partner, the introducer can't say anything. In a word, she said it for many years, and later, everyone stopped talking much. ”

"Isn't there a man around her?"

"We haven't seen each other anyway."

"Did any men come to her before you left here?"

"Her tailor's shop is a little way away from us, and we are busy with our work all day, and we never have any contact with them. That's all we know, you can ask the tailor, more than ten years ago, Ayu gave the tailor a plate to the tailor. To the tailor may know something. Master Zhang said.

"Where is Tailor Xiang's tailor shop?"

"It's a little bit further on, and the name of the tailor's shop is 'Xiangyang Clothing Store'."

The time when Yurong left Jinshan Road was very close to the time when Jiecheng "died", and after Jiecheng left the Cold Moon Temple, it was very likely that he would come to Jingjiang to find Zang Yurong.

Yu Rong still has some clothes on her hands that are not finished, and it will take a little time to finish these clothes.

I left in mid-June, and the time was more than half a month.

Jiecheng left the Cold Moon Temple with the Golden Buddha, and with the reliance, there was no need for Yurong to be a tailor anymore.

He should have left Jingjiang with Yurong and hid in another place to live a free life.

Jiecheng has a large, four, and five golden Buddhas in his hands, and as long as they dispose of one small golden Buddha, it is enough for them to live a lifetime.

As for Fazheng, who left the Cold Moon Temple twelve years ago, maybe he met up with Jiecheng and Yurong somewhere - this should also be part of Jiecheng and Fazheng's plan.

Zang Yurong is playing the trick of the golden fork shelling, which is in line with the style of admonition.

Jie Cheng has played this kind of trick to the pinnacle.

Master Zhang sent the comrades out of the store.

After leaving Zhang Yi's tailoring shop, the five of them went to Xiangyang clothing store.

Xiangyang clothing store is at the west street intersection of Jinshan Road, which is the intersection of three roads, the road extending to the southwest is called Pipa Road, and the road extending to the northwest is called Rouge Road.

Xiangyang tailor shop at the junction of Jinshan Road and Pipa Road.

The shop is not big, but the business is good, and when the five people walked into the store, a middle-aged man in his forties was measuring the waist of a female customer.

On a chair next to him sat two middle-aged women and a young girl. There was also a young man standing next to him.

Seeing someone enter the store, the middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at everyone - the work on his hands did not stop.

The middle-aged man has a pen in his ear.

The shop is small but long, and there is a room in the innermost part of the room, through which three women can be seen sitting in front of the sewing machine.

There are several ropes pulled on the wall, and some cloth and processed clothes are hung from the ropes.

"May I ask who is Master Xiang?" Zhao Zimeng stepped forward and said.

"I am, what are you looking for me?" Xiang Shi said as he took a pen from his ear and wrote something on a slip.

Zhao Zimeng took out his documents from his pocket, lit them up in front of Master Xiang, and then said, "We are from Jingxi and want to find Master Xiang to learn some information." ”

"No problem, can you please wait a while, I can't neglect the customer, wait a while."

"Okay."

"You may be seated."

Two women sitting in chairs stood up and gave way to the benches, and the shop was relatively small, with only three chairs.

"Master Xiang, we'll be waiting for you outside."

"I'm sorry, but the shop is so small that there's no place to turn around."

Five people walked out of the store.

Master Xiang quickly measured the four people. He had just hung his tape measure around his neck when an old lady pushed the door open, with a piece of fabric under her armpit.

Xiang Shi sent the four people out of the store, helped the old lady to the chair and sat down, bowed his head, bent down and said a few words to the old lady, and then walked out of the store.

Next to the tailor shop is a noodle shop, and there are no customers in the noodle shop, only a woman sitting on a bamboo chair at the door knitting sweaters.

Master Xiang walked up to the woman: "Sister-in-law, I'll talk to these policemen in your shop." ”

Without saying a word, the woman stood up, untied her scarf from her waist, walked over to a table, and wiped the four benches with her scarf.

The tailor led the five men to the bench and sat down.

After a while, the woman brought six cups of tea.

Then sit back on the bamboo chair and continue to beat her sweater.

"Master Xiang, did your tailor shop come down from Ayu's hand?" Zhao Zimeng said.

"yes!"

"We're here for her, where did she go after she gave you the store?"

She didn't say. I don't know much about her situation, at that time, I wanted to sell a store, Ayu was trying to sell the store, and she was very anxious. ”

"We hit it off. The price she opened was not high, and in the end, she also sold the sewing machine in the store to me at a discount, and she didn't ask for money. ”

In this way, Zang Yurong is very generous! Generosity is to have capital, is it because she made a fortune?

Ayu did not get rich, the person who got rich is Jiecheng, and if Chengcheng gets rich, it is equivalent to Zang Yurong getting rich.

Now that you have made a fortune, there is no need to entangle yourself on three melons and two dates.

It can be seen how eager Ayu is to leave Jingjiang.

"Is this shop rented by Ayu to someone else?"

"Yes, it's someone else's."

"Who's the landlord?"

"The landlord's surname is Chen."

"Where does the landlord live?"

"The landlord lives in the backyard – there's a yard at the back of the shop."

"Can Master Xiang take me to the landlord?"

"Okay, you wait a minute, I called Sister-in-law Liu over, his family has been living here, and the noodle shop has been open for nearly 20 years, Brother Liu and Sister-in-law Liu may know some information, after talking to Sister-in-law Liu, I will lead you to the landlord."

"Thank you, or thoughtful."
