Chapter 025: Photos
"What?" Hearing Boss Jiang say this, I was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with some suspicion, not knowing why he said that.
Boss Jiang smiled and said to me: "I'm just talking casually, after all, I'm just a businessman, if Mr. Chen is here, he will definitely be able to solve our doubts." ”
I muttered to myself in my heart, he said that he was just wanting to see my third uncle.
I guessed in my heart that what he just said about Wang Erma was about to come back to life, maybe he was deliberately scaring me.
I was thinking about it, but I saw Boss Jiang suddenly take out his wallet, take out a few banknotes from it, and said to me, "Brother Chen, you take this money first." ”
He wanted to hand over the bill, but accidentally, something fell out of his wallet and landed on the ground.
I saw that it was a small card, what seemed to be a photo, and I said to him, "I'll pick it up for you." ”
I bent down and picked up the picture on the ground.
It was an old-fashioned black-and-white photo, and judging by how damaged it was, it would have to be decades old.
The photo is above a woman, I glanced at it slightly, but I was stunned for a moment, my brain was full of "buzz", and the whole person suddenly felt that my scalp was numb.
Because of the woman in this photo, I know her, is Lin Ruochu!
I took a deep breath and tried to see it clearly, but Boss Jiang had already reached out and took back the photo in my hand.
He seemed to deliberately not want to show me, and quickly stuffed it into his wallet and said nothing.
But I was still stunned, shocked.
I could never be mistaken for that face, it looked exactly like her.
But the problem is, this photo must be from fifty years ago, how can she not change her face at all over the years.
Or is it just two people who look alike, or maybe it's her grandmother?
I was unsure in my heart, and I was really curious, so I had to quickly ask him: "Boss Jiang, who is the person in the photo?" ”
But when I asked this, Boss Jiang's face became strange, and he just said a little perfunctorily: "It's nothing, it's just an old friend." ”
I looked at him with some suspicion, thinking to myself that Boss Jiang's age was only in his forties, and when this photo was taken, he was probably not born yet, where did he come from.
But that familiar face really made me a little relieved, so I had to continue to say to him: "Boss Jiang, just tell me who she is, she looks very similar to someone I know." ”
Boss Jiang just smiled and said, "Little brother, how old are you, how can you know her." ”
I was about to continue talking, but Boss Jiang directly interrupted me and said, "I said that as long as I see Chen Sanqian, I will tell everything." ”
It's the third uncle again.
I lowered my head, and my mood was a little complicated.
I also wanted to see the third uncle, but he had only spoken a few words to me before he had already lost his breath.
I watched him die and buried him with my own hands, could it be that this could still be fake?
Boss Jiang took a stack of banknotes, handed it to me, and said to me, "You can take this money first." ”
"I don't want it." I shook my head, knowing the means of taking people, not to mention what the purpose of this person was, I still didn't know.
Boss Jiang said: "This money is not given to you for nothing, you take the money, go to the town, find a Zhu Ji coffin shop, and help me buy a coffin back." ”
Hearing him say this, I immediately frowned, feeling a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "You have so many subordinates, just send them over." ”
But Boss Jiang still said: "Let them go, I can't rest assured, I will send someone to send you over." ”
I looked Boss Jiang up and down, and I didn't understand at all, why did he want me to go over, there were so many people outside, which one couldn't be called?
As soon as I thought about it, I said to Boss Jiang: "It's okay if you want me to go, but I have a request." ”
"What?" Boss Jiang frowned slightly.
I said to him, "I'll run for you, but you've come back and have to tell me about that picture." ”
Boss Jiang didn't answer me immediately, but stood there, as if thinking about something.
But after thinking about it for a while, he said to me, "Okay, I promise you." ”
After he finished speaking, he handed over the money in his hand.
I reached out and took it, and went out with him.
But when I walked to the door of the tent, I turned my head and looked back again, but suddenly found that Wang Erma's posture lying on the ground seemed to be a little different.
But Boss Jiang didn't seem to notice anything, so I didn't say anything and hurriedly walked out behind him.
Beckon one of my men to come over and let him drive me to town.
In fact, on our side, if someone wants to buy a coffin, they all ask a carpenter in a nearby village to customize it, and they really don't go to the town to buy it.
So I'm a little strange, even if we buy a coffin, we can't put it in the car, how can we bring him back.
The bodyguard who was driving the car wore a pair of sunglasses and looked very cold, and he didn't say a word to me all the way.
So I was in the car, and I had nothing to do, so I leaned back on the seat and fell asleep.
By the time I woke up, it was completely dark outside.
Actually, I've only been to the town twice, and I looked outside, and it was almost there.
It's just that it's late now, and I don't know if the coffin shop will be open or not.
The bodyguard seemed to know the way, drove me to the mouth of an alley, and said to me, "The coffin shop is inside, you can go in." ”
Hearing him say this, I also frowned, I always felt that something was wrong, but I had to get out of the car and go in first.
The alley is very narrow, and it looks like there are shops on both sides, but it seems to be closed, which gives me the feeling of being eerie and very uncomfortable.
I walked inside, and when I was nearing the end, I saw a white lantern hanging over there, and next to it was a plaque with the words "Zhu Ji Coffin Shop".
Seeing that I had finally found it, I hurriedly walked in and saw that the owner of the counter was a bald old man.
The balding old man, dressed in gray, looked up at me, but he didn't look good, and quickly lowered his head.
He was lifeless, which made me feel very uncomfortable, so I also walked up and asked, "I'm here to buy a coffin, is there here?" ”
"Nope." But he didn't look up, and answered me directly.
I turned my head to look to the side, and saw that there were still a lot of coffins piled up over there, so I stretched out my hand and said, "Aren't they all here, why do you say there are none?" ”
The bald old man said to me in a hoarse voice, "It's been booked by someone else." ”
"So many, all ordered?" I don't believe it.
But he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
I was a little speechless, thinking to myself that he probably didn't think I had any money, so he wouldn't sell it to me.
I simply took out the money that Boss Jiang gave me, slapped it directly on the counter, and asked, "Is this money enough to buy?" ”
But he didn't even look at me, so he said with a look of disgust: "I don't sell coffins here." ”
Before I could speak, he looked very disgusted, and directly reached out and pushed me, as if he wanted to kick me out.
I had no choice but to say to him, "It's not that I don't give money, why don't you sell it to me?" ”
"What money is not money, the coffin is gone."
His face was full of impatience, and he pulled me out, and then slammed the door shut.
I tapped the door again, but he still didn't respond.
Looking at his reaction, I really don't understand why he didn't sell me and kicked me out since he opened a coffin shop.
Seeing that he refused to sell, I was also a little anxious, thinking that if this continued, I would have to go home empty-handed, and the matter of the photo would definitely be gone.
Just when I was feeling anxious, there was a sudden "squeak" next to me, and I turned around to see that it was the bald boss who opened the door.
I looked at him a little strangely, but he looked at me and asked me in a low voice, "Your surname is Chen?" ”
"yes." I answered, feeling a little strange, wondering how he knew my last name.
He asked me again with a wary face: "Did Chen Sanqian call you here?" ”
