Chapter 9: Unpredictable

Outside the store, a dim street lamp in the distance shone on the ground, yellow, coupled with the sound of "click" footsteps, which made my heart hairy.

I held my breath and hid behind my chair again, and after a few seconds, the footsteps reached the door, and I looked through the gap to see a slender figure appear in the doorway, "pop bang", and knocked on the door three times.

Who's this?! It's the middle of the night and you're running to our store?!

I didn't dare to come out, because of the angle, I couldn't see the faces of the people coming, and I was anxious and afraid.

"Second uncle? Gu Rui? The person who came suddenly shouted twice, and I was stunned - it turned out to be Chu Ying's voice!

I hurriedly stood up, ran over in three steps and two steps, opened the door behind me, and dragged Chu Ying in: "Why are you here?!" ”

Chu Ying was wearing a black casual dress with a pair of high heels on her feet, and as soon as she came in, she threw her high heels out and sat on the sofa: "What's wrong?" Why can't I come? Get me some water to drink! ”

"Hey, aunt and grandma......" I locked the door of the store again, looked at no one outside, turned around and poured a glass of water for Chu Ying and handed it over: "What are you doing here?" Put on high heels and go! ”

"The blind date went!" Chu Ying said as she blinked at me with big eyes: "I met a handsome guy who has a car, a house and money, not bad, right?" ”

"Well, that's good!" I said perfunctorily.

"I just don't feel it!" Chu Ying saw me looking left and right, stretched out her foot and kicked me: "Huh? Why do you look impatient?! ”

"Oh, no!" I squatted down: "The second uncle is gone!" ”

"Second uncle is gone?" Chu Ying was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

"I went out in the afternoon, and when I came back, I found that my second uncle was not there." I said, "I guess I went to drink with a friend, but when I found out that he hadn't come back at eleven o'clock, I called him, and who knew that he didn't have a mobile phone with him!" There were two figures wandering in front of the store just now, you really scared me to death, come here at this time, if something happens, I can't regret dying! ”

"Hey, do you still know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" I didn't expect Chu Ying to change her words after hearing this, and she turned coquettish, I just wanted to speak, I felt that something was moving in my arms, and I hurriedly looked down, but found that when I squatted down just now, I subconsciously took Chu Ying's kicked feet into my arms, and at this moment, the five warm jade-like toes were swinging playfully towards me......

“……”

I froze for a moment, wordlessly pushed my foot back, and stood up and looked out at the empty street.

"Humph!" Chu Ying snorted coldly and stood up barefoot, with two faint blush on her face: "Don't worry, how long has the second uncle been gone?" ”

"I went out around six o'clock and came back before ten o'clock, at most, about four hours." I said.

"Hmm." Chu Ying nodded, but walked to the TV, reached out and touched the TV, touched the set-top box, turned her head and asked, "Have you watched TV?" ”

I shook my head, "No." ”

"Hmm, the second uncle should only be leaving for more than an hour." Chu Ying said: "The TV is cold, but the set-top box dissipates heat slowly, and there is still some temperature, and listening to what you said, the second uncle should have gone out in a hurry, and even forgot to bring his mobile phone, and he will definitely not turn off the more troublesome TV, that is to say, the second uncle turned off the TV before going out in a hurry, and when you come back to go out with the second uncle, it should be the front and rear feet." ”

Obediently, the criminal police are the criminal police, and they found out the clues so quickly.

"And!" Chu Ying turned around and strode in front of me: "You have been crazy outside for more than a year, and you have forgotten one of the most important clues!" ”

"What?" I'm a little confused.

Chu Ying flashed her long eyelashes: "Surveillance video, your house is an antique shop, and there are 360-degree surveillance videos installed around it, you have been spinning around here like a headless fly for a long time, you can't even think of this?!" ”

"That's right!" I clapped my hands in annoyance, hurriedly walked to the counter, and turned on the computer monitoring: "Alas, I went downstairs just now and looked at my second uncle's mobile phone, and then someone was at the door, and I forgot about this!" ”

The computer monitoring was turned on, and I quickly adjusted forward, and according to Liang Ruoyi's calculation just now, it was directly adjusted to half past nine in the evening. At this time, I haven't come back yet, and I can see from the video in the room that the second uncle had just turned off the TV at this time, but then stood in front of the TV, as if listening to something.

After about a minute, the second uncle slowly bowed down and reached out to close the set-top box under the TV cabinet, but he still didn't get up, squatting in place, motionless.

"Did the second uncle hear something?" Chu Ying reached out and took the headset, put it on her ear, turned up the volume to the maximum, listened for a while, and shook her head at me: "I can't hear anything......"

I continued to look at the surveillance footage, and this time, almost five minutes later, the second uncle slowly stood up and looked out the window in the kitchen opposite.

I hurriedly looked at the video footage outside the kitchen at this time, but in the range of the video display, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

"Second Uncle is gone!" Chu Ying suddenly whispered.

I turned to the second uncle, and saw that the second uncle suddenly jumped on his toes, shook his body, and rushed out of the store quickly, and pressed the lock of the store door with his hand......

"Really good, don't forget to close the door at this time, Scrooge!" Chu Ying said with a pout.

I smiled wryly, and two minutes later, I was seen on the surveillance footage......

"Just two minutes!" I sighed: "What did the second uncle hear?!" ”

"From the second uncle's point of view, he should have seen a person through the kitchen window at the very beginning." Chu Ying rewinded the video and analyzed while watching: "It shouldn't be one person, but two or more, in the conversation, the second uncle just wanted to listen to the conversation at first, and the few people who appeared at this time, the second uncle probably didn't know them." But later, he found a familiar figure, so he hurriedly bowed down and hid behind the TV, and when the man was about to leave, the second uncle should have determined the identity of the person, so he quickly chased him out! ”

I frowned: "What kind of person can make the second uncle chase him out in such a hurry?!" ”

"If you don't know, I don't know." Chu Ying looked up at me with a pout: "Think about it." ”

"Unless...... Uncle Bao Weng ......" I smiled bitterly: "But it's impossible, Uncle Bao Weng is dead, it's impossible to come back to life, then ......"

Speaking of the resurrection of the dead, I suddenly remembered a person, and I was stunned on the spot, my little heart was pounding, could it really be him? Is that secret real?!

"Hey, what do you remember?" Chu Ying waved her hand in front of me: "Do you need me to find a few colleagues and go out to find it?" ”

"No, you don't." I smiled and said: "You don't know the skills of the second uncle, besides, you also know about this kind of business in our family, it is not convenient to be mixed in by outsiders, and the second uncle should be fine." Wait, if there's no news tomorrow morning, I'll make plans. ”

"Okay, then I'll accompany you." Chu Ying sat down on the chair and looked at me with blinking eyes.

I waved my hand: "Forget it, there is danger here, you better go back early, I'll send you out." ”

"If there is danger, you will stay!" Chu Ying said and pulled it from her waist, and actually took out a pistol and shook it at me: "There is danger, I will protect you!" ”

"Poof!" I almost sat directly on the ground: "Sister, you are dating, you are on a blind date, and you are carrying a pistol?!" ”

"Of course, in the middle of the night, I'm a big beauty, in case I ......" Halfway through these words, Chu Ying suddenly stopped, her face changed slightly, as if she remembered what the toad had done to her, and a trace of anger appeared on her originally happy face.

"Girl, it's okay." I hurriedly reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "No matter what danger in the future, I can protect you!" ”

"Really?" As soon as Chu Ying heard this, she immediately returned to her original state, and two blush flew out of her face.

I knew that this girl would be wrong, and I wanted to open my mouth to explain, but I heard the sound of the door opening the door! This startled me, and I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw a black person fiddling with the door lock outside the door, and I was about to scream, but I saw that the familiar figure was actually the second uncle!

I hurriedly walked over and opened the door, and let the second uncle who was in the dust enter: "Second uncle! Where have you been?! I'm going to call someone to find you! ”

The second uncle's face was flushed, it should have been that he had drunk some wine again in the evening, and he couldn't see what his expression was, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

"It's okay, I went to chase someone just now...... the corners of the second uncle's mouth grinned: "I didn't catch up." Why is Chu Ying's girl also there? ”

"Second uncle, I'm fine to wander around at night!" Chu Ying grabbed the second uncle's arm: "I wanted to see you, but I didn't expect you to be here, Brother Gu Rui said that you are gone, and I am also looking for a few colleagues to find you!" ”

"This girl is still so hot!" The second uncle smiled and patted Chu Ying's head, looked down and saw that this girl was barefoot, and looked up at the front hall without the headlights, and smiled at me playfully: "You two didn't do anything bad, right?" This midnight is untidy, and the lights are blind! ”

"Where, what!" I hurriedly dragged Chu Ying over: "Let's go, second uncle, I'll send Chu Ying home first!" ”

"Oops, my shoes!" Chu Ying was dragged by me and staggered two steps and shouted softly. I turned around and picked up the pair of high heels to help her put them on, and pulled her out with a red face.

It's still very easy to take a taxi nearby, I sent Chu Ying home, and then took a taxi back, and when I arrived at the antique store, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

The second uncle hadn't even rested, sitting on the sofa in the front hall and waiting for me.

"Second uncle!" I closed the door of the store, walked up to my second uncle and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" What the hell is going on? ”

The second uncle shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at me, and the expression on his face was wooden, as if he was very preoccupied.
