Chapter 138: Who's Lying

It was late at night, and I lay on it alone, tossing and turning, never able to sleep.

At this time before, Zhu Yao slept next door to me, she didn't sleep well, and she could often be heard tossing and turning.

Now that she's gone, it's my turn to fall asleep, I didn't feel anything before, but now I know how uncomfortable it was to not be able to sleep, and I don't know how she endured it at the age of eighteen?

Her parents are long gone, according to common sense, even if there is great grief, she should get used to it, I don't know what else is bothering her?

Thinking about Zhu Yao, I thought of the scene that happened tonight, I never understood, is the fat young man a thief?

In the surveillance video, he obviously took the two packs of cigarettes, and his bulging pants pockets also proved this, but later on the shelf, the seven packs of cigarettes were exactly the same, which really made me feel incredible.

I can't sleep anyway, so I'm going to go down and see if I'm missing anything in the video.

Climbing up, I went downstairs and went straight into the small room.

Turning on the monitor, I pulled up today's video and watched it over and over again.

His eyes were fixed on the shadow of the fat young man, watching him take things, pay, and then be beaten, without the slightest flaw in the whole process.

Since he didn't steal anything, why did Zhu Yao think that he stole it, the two of them had their own opinions, and one of them must be lying.

The picture kept changing in front of me, and my face became flickering, and after looking at it for a while, I couldn't find anything wrong, so I stood up and turned off the monitor.

At this moment, I accidentally saw a picture that suddenly moved my heart, it was a middle-aged man, wearing inconspicuous clothes, came to the tobacco area, stayed there for a while, and then immediately left.

The time shown in the tape was 5:35 p.m., and at that point in time, it was the time when I entered the small room with the fat young man.

My attention was all focused on the fat young man, but I forgot if he had an accomplice, and the middle-aged man might be his accomplice.

The evidence of his theft was conclusive, and in order to show his innocence, he asked his accomplice to buy two new packs of the same cigarette outside, and secretly put the cigarettes back in.

It's not hard to explain why he has cigarettes in his trouser pockets, and on the shelves, cigarettes are just as good.

Thinking of this, my eyes focused on the middle-aged man, slowing down the screen, and my eyes stared at him without blinking.

What I'm doing now is very important, and only by seeing through the fat young man's tricks can I catch him right, so that he won't dare to steal again next time.

If I can't see through it, he will come again next time, this time he stole a pack of sixteen yuan of Liqun, and next time he will steal 72 yuan of soft China.

After a long time, I don't want to make money in the supermarket, I'm afraid I have to put money in.

Eyes fixed on the middle-aged man, and at the slowest speed, I saw him walk to the tobacco section, take a look there, and then reach into his pocket.

Seeing this, my heart was nervous and my throat was raised, but the next scene disappointed me.

The middle-aged man did take out a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, but he didn't put the cigarette on the shelf, but took it, compared it with the cigarette in the second row above, and then immediately turned away.

I understood what he was doing, he was discerning the authenticity of the cigarettes, and I didn't know where he bought the cigarettes, probably because I was not at ease, so I came to my supermarket to compare the outer packaging to see if the cigarettes he bought were real.

He noticed something different, so he hurried out of the supermarket to get the pack of cigarettes back.

The fat young man has no accomplices, and there is no shortage of cigarettes on the shelves, then he is not a thief.

Since he is not a thief, then he is not lying, he is not lying, that is Zhu Yao lying.

Thinking of this, I glanced at the cash register where Zhu Yao was standing, the cash register was away from the tobacco area, and between the two, there were several rows of shelves, and from her angle, it was impossible to see the cigarette butt area.

She couldn't see the tobacco area, so how could she be sure that she saw the fat young man stealing, and she was the one who lied?

But why did she do this, she didn't have any motives!

My head hurt when I thought about it, but I still couldn't think of a reason, and I looked at the time, and it was almost one o'clock in the morning, so I had to turn off the monitor, and I went back upstairs.

The next day, I woke up sleepy-eyed, dressed and washed my face in a trance, and when I got downstairs, I still couldn't lift my spirits, until I opened the roller shutter door and the cold wind outside blew in, and I felt a lot clearer.

Zhu Yao left, I had to be a boss and a buddy again, standing in front of the cash register, at the end of the day, my legs were sore and soft.

Fortunately, business is not bad, which gives me some comfort.

Put the money in the drawer, I was about to close the door, Ma Cheng walked in, in his hands, carrying two black fish.

"Gao Xiang, you have the ability, I thought your supermarket wouldn't be open for long, I didn't expect you to gain a firm foothold so quickly, not bad." Ma Cheng smiled at me.

I also had a smile on my face, and I asked Ma Cheng to sit down, and I asked, "Uncle Ma, are you holding two fish, are you going to visit someone?" ”

"That's right! Isn't this person you, on the train, you not only got 40,000 yuan back for me, but also saved my life, no, I caught a lot of fish today, I'll bring you two. ”

In Meihu Town, there are many people who make a living by fishing, and the incident on the last train frightened Ma Cheng, so he did not go out to work since then, but stayed at home to make a living by fishing.

I hurriedly excused myself, I have been to the small vegetable market in the town, and the price of wild black fish is very expensive, more than a catty, it will be sold for 25 yuan and 1 catty.

The two items in Ma Cheng's hand, looking at their size, are at least more than three catties.

Ma Cheng's family is not well-off, Ma Xiaodie is still studying, and I don't want him to break the bank.

"Gao Xiang, don't shirk, this is the heart of our family, the child and the child's mother, they also want you to accept it."

Ma Cheng said this, and I refused to be unapproachable, and I thanked him, and I took the fish from him, and then went to the back room and stocked them in the water.

After doing all this, I came out of it and took a bucket of sunflower oil in the food section, and I put it in front of Ma Cheng.

"Uncle Ma, you are too polite, in fact, I didn't do anything, you can take this barrel of oil back, stir-fry or something, you can use it."

I know that Ma Cheng doesn't smoke or drink, so he wants to guard his home and live in peace.

So to give him expensive cigarettes and alcohol, he doesn't need it, and he definitely doesn't want it, rather than this, it is better to give him some daily necessities.

"What's so embarrassing, I'm here to bring you fish, how did it turn out that you gave me something?" Ma Cheng refused.

Seeing him like this, I deliberately lowered my face and said, "Uncle Ma, if you refuse, I will be embarrassed to accept your two black fish." ”

Ma Cheng was at a loss, and after a while, he had to put away the barrel of oil.

We talked a lot, about my business, about his son at home, and about Fluttershy.

I asked Uncle Ma how Fluttershy was doing in school.

With a smile on his face, Ma Cheng says that Fluttershy's grades have always been in the top three in school, and he has a good chance of getting into a good university in the future.

I nodded, but I didn't say anything, but I thought to myself, if Fluttershy did get into a prestigious university in the future, Uncle Ma would not be in trouble, and I would give him a sum of money when the time came.

"Gao Xiang, it's been a long time since I came out, and the two of them are still waiting for me at home, I should go back." Ma Cheng stood up and said to me.

I saw that the time was indeed not early, so I didn't hold back much, sent Ma Cheng to the door, and watched him leave, I turned around and wanted to close the roller shutter door.

At that moment, I suddenly smelled a strong fragrance in my nose, followed by a slap on my back.

I was startled, and hurriedly turned to look, only to see that under the hazy moonlight, Dong Qianqian stood in front of me pretty, and when she saw my frightened appearance, she covered her mouth and snickered.

"You're still embarrassed to laugh, don't you know that people are scary, they can scare people to death?" Glancing at her, I said angrily.

"I can't scare you to death, even a fierce person like Zhou Chuanlong, you can clean him up and obey him, what else are you afraid of?"

"I didn't clean him up, it was because he offended too many people that he would be retaliated against, and he deserved to lie in the hospital, and it had nothing to do with me." I flatly denied it.

Just kidding, Zhou Chuanlong didn't dare to do it right with me, but his cousin is still there, and his cousin is still a policeman, so if you beat me to death, I won't admit that I did it when he was lying in the hospital.

"Okay, it has nothing to do with you when he lies in the hospital, by the way, I saw a person coming out of your supermarket just now, that person has a bucket of cooking oil in his hand, could he be a thief?"

Dong Qianqian mentioned the thief, and I remembered the fat young man, he didn't come today, but I can't guarantee that he won't come tomorrow.

I've watched the tape countless times, and I'm still not sure if he's a thief or not.

"That's a friend of mine, not a thief. When I first came to Meihu Town, I spent my first night at their house, and their family treated me very well. Suppressing the doubts in my mind, I replied.

"Oh, I see." Dong Qianqian nodded, the breeze ruffled her long hair, and she reached out to hold it.

Caressing her black hair, Dong Qianqian looked up at me, and there was a hint of haze in her charming big eyes.

Before I knew it, I was attracted to her.

Taking a step forward, her body almost hit me, but now I was so absorbed in her hazy eyes that I was slow to react, and I didn't think about dodging.

Maybe in my subconscious, I think that the closer she gets to me, the better.
