Chapter 8 Dripping Wax

"Meow. ”

Pu'er at the top of the stairs screamed again.

In this cramped and even slightly cramped shop, the meows of cats are particularly penetrating.

"Nice, lad. ”

The old woman in the mirror asked, she seemed to be more satisfied with the dress, and when people come across something they like, they always crave approval from those around them.

Liang Chuan continued to help the old man in front of him tidy up his collar, then bent down slightly, put his face on the side of the old man's face, and looked at the old woman in the mirror with the old man,

Road:

"It's a little glamorous. ”

It is indeed a bit glamorous, because I am old and dressed too flamboyantly, which does not conform to the general aesthetic of Chinese.

"It's glamorous. The old woman in the mirror glanced at Liang Chuan angrily, "I'm not old." ”

It is also normal for the elderly to refuse to accept old age.

The customer is God, and he and her are satisfied.

Taking a step back, he took a rough look at the whole body of the garment and asked:

"That's it?"

"If you want it, that's it. ”

The old man took off his shroud and handed it to Liang Chuan.

Liang Chuan returned to the counter and took out a plastic bag to wrap the shroud.

"That's a lot of money?" asked the old man, standing in front of the counter.

"Meow. Pu'er screamed again.

"Ninety. ”

"It's a bit expensive. The old man's wrinkled face grew deeper and deeper, obviously dissatisfied with the price.

"In this world, there are two pieces of clothing, which are often said to be worn only once in a lifetime, one is a wedding dress and the other is a shroud, but in fact, a wedding dress can be worn several times, and a shroud is really worn once in a lifetime. ”

The old man sighed, took the money out of his pocket, and put it on the counter.

It's a hundred-dollar unity.

Liang Chuan picked up the banknotes and opened the small drawer in the counter, which contained a stack of dark coins, which should have been sold in the store one by one, but at this time, they were put together by Liang Chuan.

He took out a ten-yuan coin and handed it to the old man, who accepted it.

"Send it to me, okay?" the old man lowered his head slightly, obviously feeling that his request was not very appropriate, especially since he had just planned to bargain.

"Okay, just leave the address. ”

"I can't write, No. 33, Yongsheng Road 2nd Street, Jinniu District. After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Liang Chuan again, and asked with some concern, "Remember?"

"Remembered. ”

"Yes, I'm leaving. ”

The old man hunched over.

Liang Chuan sat down on the chair and took another sip of the overnight cool.

Pu'er jumped on the counter at this time and looked at Liang Chuan.

Liang Chuan also looked at Pu'er.

The man and the cat looked at each other for about a minute, and finally Pu'er turned around and jumped off the counter and went upstairs.

The temperature in the room, which had cooled down a bit, was now slowly rising.

Liang Chuan looked at the wrapped shroud on the counter, recalled the address again in his mind, and then got up, picked up the shroud, and prepared to send it over.

The sun is just right outside, but it feels extremely unreal.

I took a taxi, sat in, told the driver the location, and arrived at my destination in about 20 minutes.

It is also an old street, with apartment buildings on top and all kinds of small shops below.

"Twenty-five. The driver pointed to the meter and said.

Liang Chuan took out a hundred, or the money that the old man had just given him, a red banknote, from his pocket, revealing a vague and crude material.

But the driver took the money and bounced it, but he didn't see it, but found 75 yuan for Liang Chuan.

"You don't look at whether the money is real or fake. Liang Chuan reminded.

"Hey, it's only a hundred. The driver smiled, "Seriously, now that there are many WeChat payments, I rarely receive banknotes." ”

Liang Chuan got out of the car and walked over looking for the house number, No. 33, which was actually an adult product store.

Walking inside, the song "Itch" is playing inside, the design and warmth of the store are warm, the main color is pink, the lighting is also dim, and a young man is sitting at the counter playing with the computer.

"Airdrop, go chase your dreams!"

The young man was so engaged in playing that he didn't seem to notice the guests coming to the door.

Liang Chuan reached out and tapped lightly on the wall,

The young man raised his head, glanced at Liang Chuan, and shouted, "Brother, you take a look for yourself first, I'll be fine immediately." ”

Liang Chuan nodded, sat down on a chair on one side, and at the same time, placed the bag containing the shroud on the small round table.

In front of Liang Chuan, there is a display case, which is full of all kinds of adult products, Chinese have always been secretive about this aspect, as if there is a great taboo, but human instinctive needs for themselves are endless.

"Damn, that guy is a third-level head!"

The young man moved the mouse, took off the headphones, walked out from behind the counter, and came to Liang Chuan,

"Brother, do you buy medicine or buy utensils?

Come, tell me about the situation, the medicines I have here are all imported originally, I have tried them myself, to ensure safety, do you want to pursue hardness or time?"

Generally speaking, if you simply buy a set, you don't need to enter the store at all, there is a vending machine at the door of the store, of course, the profit of selling a set is too low, the key is to sell medicine, a large box of medicine has twelve small boxes, as long as you sell a small box to return to the cost, the following eleven boxes sell more and sell less are all profits.

"I'm here to deliver something. ”

Liang Chuan pointed to the bag he had placed on the small round table.

"Courier?"

The young man took a cigarette in his mouth, reached out and picked up the bag, and when he saw the shroud in the bag, he was not as angry as he usually guessed, but showed a look of disbelief, and the whole person took a few steps backwards and hit the shelves behind him, causing several sticks on the shelves to fall down.

"Can you really send it?" muttered the young man, "who told you to send it?"

"Your grandfather, or, your grandmother. Liang Chuan replied truthfully.

"Hell yes, this one is hell. The young man scratched his head hard, "I dreamed about my milk last night, and she said she wanted new clothes to wear. ”

"I sent it. Liang Chuan got up and said goodbye to the other party, but as soon as he turned around, he paused again and said, "I believe that you have tried all the medicines here." ”

"What?" the young man was stunned for a moment.

"These things, eating too much, can make people mentally debilitating. Liang Chuan stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, "That's why you can dream of your grandmother." ”

"Huh. The young man laughed dryly, "Dude, are you a fortune teller?"

"The one who opened the store is just like you. ”

"Yes, this is my business card, whether it's true or false or coincidental this time, let's not talk about it, how much is this dress, will I burn it later?

By the way, my grandmother told me in a dream yesterday that my grandfather was so pitiful that he was burned twice, can you help me analyze what this means?

"I don't know about the money, I'm not a fortune teller. ”

"Alright, thanks, buddy. "The young man doesn't ask anything anymore.

Liang Chuan walked out of the store, it was difficult to get a taxi in the side street, and he wanted to take a taxi and get outside, but Liang Chuan still stood in place for a while.

took out the young man's business card, and the three words "Tan Guanghui" on it were designed elegantly.

But when a person lies, no matter how you cover it up, there will always be all kinds of flaws in details.

Especially lying in front of a psychologist, the flaws are too many to count.

But that's not what Liang Chuan needs to care about.

In this world, there are too many incredible, and there are too many twists and turns, just as it is difficult for normal people to imagine why an adult would be interested in young children, the ugliness under human nature is often terrifying and unbelievable.

The kindness of ordinary people is indeed enough to limit their imagination.

Lighting the cigarette given by the other party, taking a puff, feeling the fullness of the lungs being filled, Liang Chuan coughed softly, and added something else to the cigarette.

The mobile phone vibrated at this time, and the caller ID was Wu Dahai.

"Hey, Chuan'er, where are you?"

"Outside. ”

"Oh, let me tell you, there is progress in the case, didn't you say that Zhao Qingshan may be dead, the blood extracted by Jian Hong from the leaves in the car is also Zhao Qingshan's, and now we have temporarily locked on a target suspect, which is the target of Zhao Qingshan's previous murder - Xu Hui, but we can't find evidence now, otherwise, you will come back to the bureau tomorrow?"

Wu Dahai obviously wanted Liang Chuan to perform again like he had done last time when he interrogated Zhang Baojun in the interrogation room.

"Xu Hui, what are you doing?" Liang Chuan took another puff of cigarette, in addition to nicotine, another ingredient has a really obvious effect on people's mental stimulation.

"The staff of the crematorium are usually responsible for driving the body to be cremated. Wu Dahai replied, "I think so, since Zhao Qingshan spent money on Zhang Baojun and Zhang Yiqiang to kill Xu Hui before and failed, will Xu Hui react and simply come ............?"

"Wait. Liang Chuan interrupted Wu Dahai's words.

"What's wrong?"

"I seem to be a bit of an eyebrow here. He thought of the sentence that the young man had just said, and his grandmother said that his grandfather was so pitiful and was burned twice, "Dahai, go check the cremation records." ”

"Huh?" Wu Dahai's mind didn't turn.

"Wait, I'll ask for the name. Liang Chuan hung up the phone.

Ask the name of the old man, and it is likely that you will be able to find the most crucial clue, a dead person can only be cremated once, since it was burned twice, then it is obvious that one of them, the cremation was another person.

Re-entered the adult goods store, the owner named Tan Guanghui was not on the counter, but there was a small door behind the counter, which should be a small kitchen and bedroom.

It is a store and a home, which is a common pattern for most small shops.

Liang Chuan walked over, stretched out his hand and pushed the door, the door was locked, Liang Chuan pushed a little harder, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or what the reason was, the door lock was unhooked, and the door was pushed open like this.

Inside, there is a flat bed, and on either side of the flat bed, instead of the usual bedside tables, there are two wooden chairs.

Two chairs, one on the left and one on the right, an old man and an old lady, sat there.

Old man, Liang Chuan has seen,

Granny, Liang Chuan has also seen it,

Two people sitting on a chair with a smile on their faces, lifelike,

But from time to time, greasy wax drips down their bodies,

It's like an ordinary person, sweating desperately.

The young man, who was now dressing the old woman,

The sound of the door being pushed open made him stunned for a moment,

He looked back,

looked at Liang Chuan in shock,

This time the shock,

It's not pretended.
