Chapter 57: The Laundromat

It was a very easy house, but I didn't have much of a heart to celebrate. I didn't give the couple much practical help, and I was a little bit upset. After going through the contract process, Bai Kai and I went back. Continue to fight on the front line of the house.

The days back are still very busy, and the houses are popping out of the sea of buildings one after another. But just before I took over the next house, there was a little hiccup in the middle. An acquaintance of mine approached me and said there was something going on in his shop.

This man opened a laundrom, which is a national chain, relatively high-end, and although the price is not cheap, the business has always been very good. The location of the shop is near my house, and my suit or leather jacket is always washed here. The boss is a southerner, very good at business, every time I go, he will shush and talk to me warmly, and over time I will get acquainted. This time he opened his mouth to find me, I was really embarrassed to shirk, so I had to pull Bai Kai to take a look, I didn't think there would be any real situation, this business person is more superstitious, and usually listen to me talk about a lot of gods and ghosts, it's easy to make a fuss. So I think it's just a formality, give him some psychological comfort, and forget it, but I didn't think that I really saw strange things this time.

Bai Kai and I met at my house, anyway, the laundry is not far away, and we are not in a hurry, so we first called the owner of the laundry to have a meal at a special restaurant next to it, and asked the boss to talk about it well, so that Bai Kai has a bottom in his heart.

The boss has always admired the people who do our business, and before he could say anything, he first praised Bai Kai, and then told us that there were a total of five machines in his store, but I don't know why, there was a problem with the innermost machine, that is, after washing the clothes with that machine, the clothes would have a strange smell, very unpleasant. He didn't notice it at first, and he didn't know until a customer came to the door. I went to check the machine, and I didn't see any dirt or foreign objects in it, and it smelled normal. He thought it was something in the customer's pocket, and forgot to take it out. When it is not washed, it is not obvious, but after washing, it is dissolved by the high temperature of drying, and the smell spreads. So the boss negotiated with the customer, apologized and rinsed again for free, and the matter was over.

After that, the boss also investigated, and the guests here are basically regular customers, and they all live nearby, so it doesn't look like someone is deliberately looking for fault. And all the washing utensils or supplies used in his shop are normal. In the end, nothing was found, and it was over.

But this is not over, from the day of the fight, all the clothes that have been washed with the innermost machine will have that strange smell. Now the boss can't afford it, first of all, the clothes sent are not cheap stalls, some guests have a good temper, and they will pass if they say something good. But some guests like to be more serious, and if they have to make him compensate, he can only consider himself unlucky. The second is that after this incident, it had a great impact on his business, and some customers simply did not dare to come. What made him even more helpless was that he also found a professional master from the factory to come and see, and there was no problem with the equipment, and he couldn't help. This laundry equipment is bought for hundreds of thousands, if it is idle, not only look at the blockage, the productivity of the laundry will also decline, and finally he has no recruitment, so he will find a dead horse doctor to find a great immortal in our city to take a look.

At that time, he was embarrassed to contact me, thinking that I was busy, and I didn't need to do it. As a result, after the great immortal came, he didn't do anything like that, just lit a cigarette and walked around the house, put his clothes in the machine and washed them once, and when he took it out, he directly concluded that there was a dead man's smell here, and he couldn't solve it. The rest didn't understand, and they didn't ask for money, so they flashed in a hurry.

This time, the boss finally began to break out in a cold sweat, not afraid of 10,000 words from people who don't understand, but afraid of people who know how to say a word. After that, Sensei said that he was in business, and he was trembling every day in the store. If it was before, sometimes he was too lazy to go home, he would often use the computer to play card games or something in the store, this time he didn't dare to live or die, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he always felt that after dark, there was a strange sound in the machine. And so, after a few more days, he finally came to me.

I was a little stunned when I heard this, this is the first time I've heard of something in the washing machine. Although this dry cleaning machine is not the same as a washing machine, I searched on the Internet and the principle is actually similar. Nothing more. I don't see any change in Bai Kai's expression, it doesn't seem to be tricky. I didn't think much about it, and then clinked glasses with them.

Because there was an arrangement in the afternoon, none of us drank much. After lunch, I took a break and walked straight to the store.

This store is very familiar to me, and I don't need to be introduced by the boss, so I gave Bai Kai a general explanation directly after entering. Seeing that the fifth machine was placed in the innermost place, there was nothing special, and it was quietly placed there.

The white card turned around, and it didn't take half a minute. The area of the laundry is not large, and there are several washing machines that take up a lot of space, and the movable area is even smaller.

After the turn, the two of us exchanged heads, and now the boss is scared enough. I was afraid that if Bai Kai saw something, he would point it out immediately, and it would scare the boss.

I whispered to Bai Kai, what's the situation with this laundry? Is there something hidden inside?

In fact, my first thought was that this washing machine was very much like a coffin, but if there was really something, I thought it would be someone who did something to attract some homeless spirit here.

Bai Kai said something different, walked over and asked the boss to open the hatch of the machine, reached in and took it out. Looking back, is your machine brand new?

The boss nodded, and Bai Kai asked again, before and after the incident, were there any strange people who came to wash clothes?

The boss recalled and said no. These customers are regular customers. And he has a good memory, even if he has a face, he also remembers what the parents are like, and now that he thinks about it, there is really nothing wrong with him.

Bai Kai said yes, and then he was silent.

I thought that Bai Kai's logic was correct, if this thing wasn't done by the boss, it must be an outsider. Most likely to be the customer.

I asked the boss, what about your employees? Are you deducting people's wages? Many of these migrant workers from the village don't look amazing, but maybe they have learned a trick and a half from the old people in the family. It's more than enough to hurt people.

The boss felt a little wronged and said how about me, don't you know? The employees have always been honest and enthusiastic to post, it is impossible for someone to take revenge, right?

I recalled, in fact, too, sometimes I used to come here, and I happened to meet the boss and the employees eating together, the dishes were the same, some employees were sick, and he also asked his wife to make soup for others to drink. It stands to reason that no one will retaliate.

I exchanged opinions with Bai Kai, and Bai Kai smiled, saying that I am afraid that things will not be clear until the evening.

I saw that this meant to come and see it at night, so I immediately explained to the boss that the inertia of our industry is to see the real trick at night. So if you want to believe the two of us, give me the key, and wait for news at home at night.

The boss naturally nodded yes, and immediately handed over the key, and the cousin trusted me very much. Didn't wait for the evening, booked a restaurant to wait for us to eat in the evening, and went back directly.

After the boss left, Bai Kai and I were left in the house, and I hung up the sign that was temporarily closed. Walk to the washing machine yourself and take a look. I didn't know anything about this kind of machine, I touched it back and forth, left and right, and I found nothing, and I confirmed again and again that the most important smell was that I could smell nothing but the smell of dry cleaning oil.

Bai Kai, what are your plans for the evening? I closed the hatch and lit a cigarette.

What else can you plan, you can go home and get a few clothes in a while, remember it, and you need a jacket and pants. Bai Kaidao, if you want to wash my clothes, you can do it, but you have to buy me a new one. You know what brand I wear for white money.

I thought about it or forget it, I know the price of my clothes, and if I use white open, I don't know how much money will be hacked. Now it didn't help to spend the day here, so we had to go back to my house first and wait for dark.
