Chapter Forty-Seven: The Sorrowful Master

In the west section of Jianshan Street, a row of three-story buildings was newly built, and the first floor was a façade room, with supermarkets, fruit shops, flower shops, and dry goods stores...

Cheng Yong asked Li to park the car in front of a clothing store, and the two got out of the car!

Li Yaohong raised his eyes and swept it: The store sign - "Lanlan Clothing Store", a twenty-eight-year-old girl stood at the door and looked at herself?

"Zhou Xia, is your mother here?" Inspector Cheng asked.

"Detective, you're here again—" said the little girl, who was very happy—and smiled like a flower, and said as she spoke, and looked at you:

"My mom went to the gossip mall in the city to 'buy' goods—"

"W-your dad?" Although Li Suo is a person from the past, it also makes the beautiful and generous Zhou Xia a little embarrassed!?

"Looking for my dad - then make an appointment for drops?! Welcome! Shop-in-please-" Zhou Xia made a fist movement with both hands, turned around and entered the store...

"Little girl's light-Li Suo? Jianshan Column is engaged in coal business, the economic conditions are good, and Xiao Ah is mature and early..."Cheng Yong introduced Li Yaohong in a low voice—

Zhou Xia is the only daughter of Liu Yaping's master Huang Youlan and Captain Zhou, who graduated from junior high school and stopped studying - went home to help take care of the clothing business. For this - her parents were half angry...

"Uncle Detectives, please- come in and sit down?! Otherwise, in a moment (for a while), my mom will come back and pout (scold) me again!? Zhou Xia came to Li Suo again and urged.

— Less than 10 minutes?

The little girl changed into a white "N-K" sportswear, lined with a slender figure of more than 1.6 meters; Tie your shawl hair into a ponytail and show off your beautiful face - like a budding spring flower!

"How do you know they're coming back?" Inspector Cheng asked with "Tongpu words":

Tongxi County is a historical immigration county, with a variety of official dialects and native languages, and after more than 150 years of running-in, the so-called "Tongxi County Mandarin" has been formed, commonly known as Tongpu dialect!

"I'm talking to my dad on the phone! They're on their way back—" Zhou Xia explained in Tongpu.

"That-we'll wait in the store...", Li felt that the three of them were standing in the doorway-very awkward: someone was already looking this way?

Moving chairs, handing out cigarettes, making tea – the little girl was so busy!

It just so happened that a middle-aged woman entered the store to pick out spring and autumn clothes, and she changed her vitality from "research-detective" to "making money"...

"Her father, Captain Zhou, is the Arrow Mountain Mine Rescue Team 'Zhou Xiaolin'—" Cheng Yong smoked his flue:

"Li Suo, do you remember? He brought someone to help us dig up 'No. 1'?! ”

"He's a girl-all the people are nagging!?" Li Yaohong, who has always been calm, couldn't help but be surprised:

He was very impressed by the professional and capable Captain Zhou who did not let "Hu Ju" smoke!

"It's a drop. You don't know yet, do you? He is also the major shareholder of Jianxi Coal Mine! Running a shop, doing emergency rescue - it's just a side hustle, it's a hobby! For him, it's all 'pediatrics'!! Cheng Yong said with relish:

He really put a lot of effort into the social conditions and customs of Arrow Mountain...

"Detective, my dad is back to nag—" Zhou Xia turned her head and shouted loudly!

A burly, sturdy man carrying a snakeskin bag - appeared at the door - it was Zhou Xiaolin.

"You little head spirit (girl), and you're 'Qing-hee' again! -Aren't you afraid to make your aunt - black (scared) to nag - " A soft and lethal female voice - sounded behind Captain Zhou?

"Xue Yandi - it's Master Huang." Inspector Cheng got up - muttered:

He saw Zhou Xia stick out her tongue at herself - with a strange look!

"Director Li, Inspector Cheng, you 'rare guests' are brutal-" Zhou Xiaolin unloaded the goods - greeted him, took off his leather gloves and asked as he walked:

"Little Ah-all are used to nagging? - Kasumi, tea - bubble or not? ”

"Dong Chou, I don't even take cigarettes!" Zhou Xia winked mischievously:

She has sharp eyes and a good memory. Last time, I found the "Great Detective" smoking, and her mother took the telephone pole from the cash register. This time - she is in charge - concocted it the same way!

"Your Zhou Xia is quite capable - the tutor is first-class!" Li Suo held Team Zhou's big hand and said approvingly: Xiaolin's palms are full of sweat...

"It's just not good to 'study', it's all his dad!" A woman who was just as tall as the shoulders of Team Zhou--flashed out from behind him—

What a half-old: although not tall, the image is very cute! Look at the skin, delicate and snow-white to the base of the neck; Looking at the face shape, compared with goose eggs - good, by no means inferior; Check the facial features, worthy of the delicate two words - moth eyebrows, apricot eyes, straight nose bridge, cherry mouth, the right jade ear is on the side of the black and shiny hair! It can really be described as "a pair of bright eyes with spring and autumn, two petals of jade cheeks dew joy and sorrow, delicate and delicate Shi Fandai, warbler chirps Sailei Gong!"

Zhou Xiaolin let go of his hand and smiled at the two detectives:

"My Lan Lan is a column personality!? Talk to which one you want, is you happy and the girl is angry? I always think that I am joining forces with the girl to 'bully' her—hey—"

As he spoke, he felt a pain in the back of his thigh - it was screwed?! He subconsciously looked back - no one!? Look at the wife standing next to me: she is holding her hands behind her back - looking at the guest with a smile -

Xiao Lin immediately understood and apologized:

"You talk-you talk?! Sorry, I don't have much time to help in the shop - I go to the car to move goods..."

Inspector Cheng gestured - it's okay:

He has been in contact with Huang Youlan, and he has a general understanding of Master Huang's personality and temperament - is it strange?! The main purpose of this trip is to ask her to "help identify", and the parents are short - it has nothing to do with themselves!

Li Yaohong "paid attention" - Zhou Xia gathered the advantages of her parents, she wanted to be tall and look good; If she and her father have a "good relationship", it can be explained by Freud's theory as a "paternal complex" - it makes sense! But refusing to go to school - it doesn't make sense? When Liu Yaping disappeared, Zhou Xia should be sensible, will she know something...

"Inspector Cheng, let's go to the living room on the second floor to sit, there are many people talking at the bottom?!" Master Huang said, leading the way to the stairs.

The two detectives picked up their teacups - and followed them upstairs!

In the living room, there are one large and two small - three ivory leather sofas, and there is a calligraphy plaque on the wall behind the couch - "Home and everything is prosperous", which is the regular script work of Gao Fan's brother Gao Ping, which has the charm of the face.

"Oh, that's when the new house is decorated-Xiaolin's friend sent a drop, I haven't read any books, I don't like to write and draw-" Master Huang noticed Li Suo's eyes - staring at the picture frame, he looked at Cheng Yong and continued:

"Shall I save some (leisure)? That is—embroidery-embroidery-flowers! ”

"Embroidery? Be eye-catching! Inspector Cheng decided to talk to Master Huang first - to calm down her "family emotions"?

"Embroidery hurts the eyes, can't be old - bow down embroidery! Time long nag - the back of the neck (cervical vertebrae) can't bear it! I really believe that at that time, 'Yaping' was just a teacher - there was no business, and I embroidered in the store all day and night..."Master Huang casually mentioned Liu Yaping - his eyes were red:

Since the last time she talked to Inspector Cheng, she has been dreaming for several nights in a row - all images with Yaping? I really didn't have to fix it (no way), I took a sleeping pill last night and fell asleep.

When she woke up this morning, there was a shortage of spring and autumn clothes in the store, and it happened that Kobayashi was free, so she struggled to finish her makeup - and went to the city to buy goods. As soon as I entered the store, I heard the girl shouting "Great Detective"...
