Chapter 146: Weird
The fat young man picked up a pack of cigarettes, lowered his head and looked at them carefully, as if he was not satisfied, he put the cigarette back in its place, and then he went somewhere else.
He didn't steal, I walked out from behind the shelves, made three steps and two steps to the counter, and settled the accounts of the customers.
When I put the money in the drawer, a man's hand reached out, he put three loaves of bread on the counter, and said with a grin: "Boss, check out." ”
I looked up and saw that the man was a fat young man, he was walking around the supermarket, he was taking bread just now, and now he came to pay.
"Three loaves of bread, five dollars in all." I said to him.
The fat young man put his hand in his pocket, took out a ten-yuan note, and handed it to me.
I found him five dollars, put the ten dollars in a drawer, and he took the bread and walked out in a leisurely manner.
At this moment, I could clearly see behind him that his trouser pockets were bulging, and where they bulged, they were rectangular.
When he came in, his pants pockets were shriveled, but when he went out, his pockets bulged.
The bread is oval, and he is holding it in his hand now, so what is it in his pocket?
I didn't have time to think about it, because the fat young man was about to walk out of the door, and I ran out of the counter, and just as he was about to step out the door, I grabbed him.
"What are you doing?" The fat young man turned his head and looked at me in surprise.
"What do you ask me for, what do I want to ask you for, what is hidden in your pants pocket?" I asked him with a serious look.
"You suspect I stole something from your supermarket?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then I'll tell you, I have two packs of cigarettes in my pocket, both of which are soft Chinese, adding up to more than 150, but I didn't buy them from you, I bought them elsewhere." The fat young man shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchalantly.
My eyes narrowed slightly: "You said you bought it somewhere else, so when you came in, how did I see that your pants pocket was shriveled?" ”
"That's because you have bad eyes, two packs of cigarettes in your pocket, no matter how obvious, you can't see it, which can only show that your eyes are too bad." The fat young man said lazily.
I smiled coldly: "My eyes may be a little worse, but the monitoring should not be wrong, if you really didn't steal anything, do you dare to take a look with me?" ”
"What's not to dare to do, but the ugly words are ahead, if the surveillance proves that I didn't steal, then how can you compensate me for my mental loss?"
After a pause, the fat young man continued: "Being framed as a thief is very uncomfortable, right?" ”
At this time, there were more than a dozen people around us, and everyone was watching, and the last words of the fat young man were said to everyone.
"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.
The fat young man was very proud, and he turned his head and looked at me obliquely.
I was not mistaken, he came in empty-handed, with nothing in his trouser pocket.
"Okay, if the surveillance can't prove that you stole something, then I'll pay you two packs of soft Chinese cigarettes, but what if the surveillance can prove it?" I asked.
"Steal one and pay ten, this is the rule, I will give you ten packs of soft China when the time comes."
Looking at him deeply, I couldn't find a trace of panic on the fat young man's face.
He's so calm, does he have some backhand?
I think about the same thing a few days ago, when he came in with his pants pockets were shriveled, and when he went out, his pants pockets were bulging.
At that time, Zhu Yao also said that he was stealing, but when he checked later, there was not a pack of cigarettes on the shelves.
I suspect he has an accomplice, and while we were watching the surveillance footage, his accomplice took the same brand of cigarette and put it back on the shelf to create the illusion that he hadn't stolen.
"Okay, that's it, but when we look at the surveillance, I need to close the door, and everyone present has to go to the monitoring room, and no one is missing."
My gaze swept over the faces of all the people, and one of them may be the fat young man's comrade.
Everyone has no objections, for them, as long as there is trouble, they are not involved in it anyway.
I closed the door, and when I turned around, I deliberately looked at the fat young man again, his expression remained the same, and he still looked like a smile.
Am I guessing wrong?
I thought to myself, but by now, I'm ready to shoot.
With everyone, I entered the monitoring room with the fat young man, in front of the display screen, I let the surveillance video play back, the picture was reversing rapidly, until the moment the fat young man entered the store, the picture did not stop.
"Did you see that my pants pocket, the moment I entered the store, was full of things, and you look at the shape of it, does it look like two packs of cigarettes stacked on top of each other?" The fat young man pointed to him on the display screen, turned back and said to everyone.
Everyone said yes, in fact, I saw it, and even found it earlier than others. From the beginning of the rewind, I paid attention to the pockets of the fat young man, and his pants pockets, when he entered the supermarket, they were already bulging.
Could it really be that my eyes are too bad and I am looking at it wrong?
I began to disbelieve myself, because the surveillance does not deceive people, and in the surveillance screen, the fat young man did not steal cigarettes.
"Boss, you have to talk about it, you also said just now, if the monitoring can't prove that I stole something, you will pay me two packs of soft China, now is the time for you to fulfill your promise."
I heard the voice of the fat young man in my ears, and there was a smugness in his voice that could not be concealed.
"Yes, we all heard it just now, boss, you did say something like this, you said that people stole things for no reason, and now they don't steal, you should make some compensation." Someone was on the side to help.
I ignored it, and strode out of the monitoring room to the tobacco shelf.
I clicked on the number of soft China, and I remember clearly, there were ten packs on it today, a total of three packs were sold, and there were seven packs left.
But when I finished counting, I was stunned, the soft Chinese on the shelves, no more, no less, exactly seven packs.
The surveillance failed to prove that the fat young man stole things, and even the cigarettes on the shelves were not missing.
All of this shows that I was mistaken, the fat young man did not steal.
"Boss, you should die now, right?" The fat young man said leisurely.
I didn't speak, silently took two packs of soft china from the shelf, and handed them to him.
The fat young man unceremoniously stretched out his hand to take it, and then he hummed a song in his mouth and swaggered past me.
I returned to the counter and felt a little frustrated, soft China is very expensive, so I sent it out so inexplicably, I really don't want to think about it.
"I've always had good eyes, how could I be wrong this time?" I muttered to myself.
I really couldn't figure it out, so I had to let go of the doubts in my heart and cheer up to give a customer change.
Around 9 p.m., I saw that there was basically no one outside, so I was going to close.
As always, before closing, I count the goods and calculate what I have for the day.
But this inventory, I found that something was strange, on the shelves where the tobacco was placed, there were four packets of soft China, and these four packets of soft China were not recorded, and they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was just two packs less, because not long ago, I lost to the fat youth, but now I have four packs missing, and the other two, where did they go?
I counted and counted before the shelves where the tobacco was placed, and there were only three packs of soft China. After paying the fat young man two packs, there should be five packs, why are there two packs missing all of a sudden?
I didn't give up, and ran into the monitoring room, where I looked carefully, and found no suspicious people, and after the fat young man left, no one came to buy cigarettes again.
"How can this be, could it be that the smoke has wings on its own, and it flies away?"
I think it's incredible, but I have to accept the fact that today my supermarket lost four packs of cigarettes at once, and it was the most expensive kind.
"What's the use of you?" In front of the display, I was so angry that I almost wanted to smash it.
Distressed out of the monitoring room, I walked to the door, raised my hand and was about to close the door, but inadvertently, I saw Dong Qianqian.
She stood at the door of the hair salon and smiled at me, her smile so charming and so charming.
There were also a few good-looking girls standing next to her, but compared to her, these girls were suddenly overshadowed, and the first thing people saw was her.
I quickly closed the door, and while driving her smile out of my mind, I silently said "color is emptiness, emptiness is color", and I slowly went upstairs.
When I got upstairs, I washed my face with cold water and cleared my head a lot.
Putting down the towel, I felt strange in my heart, I rejected Dong Qianqian that day, she was very angry at the time, it was only a few days of work, why did she smile at me?
And the time when she appeared, which was too coincidental, as if it was pinched that I would close the door at this time, and she was waiting for me at the door early.
Was it a coincidence, or did she do it on purpose?
If she did it on purpose, then what was her intention, did she want to tell me that she was not angry anymore, and we would still be friends in the future?
Thinking of this, my hands trembled, and I almost didn't throw the towel on the ground.
After stabilizing my mind, I hung up the towel, I didn't want to be friends with her, the price of being friends with her was too great, and I might be squeezed dry by her.
Thinking so, I went into the bedroom and lay down on it, I couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and there were always two people laughing in my head.
One is a fat young man, the other is Dong Qianqian, and the other is sly and proud. The other one, although pretty, made me feel a chill in my heart with her smile.
Strange, how could these two people who are not related to each other appear in my mind at the same time?
In a daze, my eyes slowly closed, and after a while, I fell into a deep sleep.
