Villa Mystery Chapter 2 Zhang Xiaoman's daughter
The morning light brightened little by little, and the lights went out one by one. The light is a straightforward light that pierces the thin mist.
The door of the living room of the villa slowly opened, and a woman carrying a cyan watering can walked out, wearing a yellow floral dress, a light blue denim jacket on the upper body, a simple ball head, and a lock of hair hanging from her ears made the delicate facial features on the goose egg face more moving.
The woman leaned the watering can, the corners of her mouth raised in a beautiful arc, and she was watering the pansies in the garden while humming a little song, contented.
Suddenly, there was a crisp doorbell at the door of the villa, and the woman frowned slightly, put the watering can aside, paced to the gate of the villa, and glanced out through the cat's eyes. Seeing the person coming clearly, the woman opened the door lock, took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile on her face, pushed open the door, and said sweetly, "Good morning." ”
A short-haired woman wearing a white tracksuit with a black backpack walked in, her eyes narrowed into two and she smiled, "Morning, Jinyue," glancing at the watering can in the garden, "Watering the flowers?" ”
Jin Yue welcomed the short-haired woman into the door and closed the door again, "Idle is idle, every day at home, you can only water flowers, do handicrafts, and do some infamous things to pass the time, I am not as capable as you, several novels have been published, and now you are a hot best-selling author...... Busy man, why do you have the leisure to come to me today? ”
The short-haired woman waved her hand, "Old classmate, don't be sarcastic about me, you don't know how much skill I have?" There are few people who really like to read my novels, and most of them come for the words 'Zhang Xiaoman's daughter'. ”
"That's not bad," Jin Yue quipped as she led the short-haired woman into the living room, "You think the second generation is so good, it's only because your father is too famous and covers your own shining point, and people can't see the insignificant light of fireflies under the bright sun." ”
The short-haired woman sat on the sofa in the living room and said dejectedly, "My pen name has changed three times, but every time the profiteers of those publishing houses will secretly hang the slogan 'Zhang Xiaoman's daughter's new work' at the door of the bookstore, I am about to become a joke in the industry, those people on the Internet make up one joke after another, what 'want to refuse and welcome', I am really angry...."
"The publishing house also wants to make money," Jin Yue smiled, picked up the cup on the coffee table, poured a cup of lemon honey grapefruit tea for the short-haired woman, and handed it to the short-haired woman, "Yunxi, you won't just complain to me about this today, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let's talk about it, what's the matter?" ”
Jang Yun-hee smiled awkwardly and took out a piece of sketch paper from his backpack, "There is indeed something to trouble you..... It's my mom's birthday in a few days, and I want to give her a unique gift. After thinking about it, I decided to give her a handmade necklace, you are everyone in this regard.... So I'm cheeky and begging you to make one for me, I drew a sketch, you can take a look first..."
Jin Yue glanced at Zhang Yunxi, "I knew there was nothing good," took the drawing, looked at it seriously for a moment, and gave a thumbs up, "This one you designed is great, a talented girl is a talented girl, no matter what you do, it is very good." ”
Zhang Yunxi scratched his head embarrassedly, "I just drew a rough picture of what I thought in my head, how can it be as good as you say....." looked at Jinyue expectantly, "Can you do it?" ”
"There are some things that need to be changed, such as the lines here should be a little softer," Jin Yue pointed to the drawing Zhengse, "but the overall is really good, very artistic, it can definitely be done, but it will take a little more time." When is my aunt's birthday, and if I am pressed for time, I can ask the master of the jewelry store to work with me. ”
"Don't worry, I won't do it until the end of next month," Zhang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you can make it, you can do it again at your leisure." ”
Jin Yue nodded and put the drawings on the coffee table, "That's no problem, it will definitely be completed by the end of next month." Oh, by the way, you just came, then I'll give you the invitation first, and my new jewelry store will open on the 8th of next month, so remember to come and cheer when the time comes. ”
After speaking, Jin Yue walked to the TV cabinet, opened the TV cabinet drawer, took out a red invitation, looked at the name on the cover, and handed it to Zhang Yunxi, "Well, I was going to send it to you in two days, but I didn't expect you to come first, and it saved me a trip." ”
"You're amazing, it's just the demeanor of a female entrepreneur," Zhang Yunxi opened the invitation and took a rough look at it and put it in his backpack, "This is the second one, do you want to open a chain store?" ”
"It's not..."Jin Yue shook her head with a wry smile, "It turns out that the location of that store is not very good, and the cars in front of the door are coming and going, and it is very noisy, so I am going to close it, and I set up a shop in the pedestrian street and move there to operate." ”
Jang Yunxi whispered "oh" and patted his chest, "Don't worry, I will definitely go over to cheer you on, and when the time comes, I will buy a few more pieces of jewelry to make the scene hot." ”
"That's not necessary, you can come," Jin Yue covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid that you will miss the time by lying in bed again, after all, you are the one who can even miss the college graduation ceremony." ”
The corners of Zhang Yunxi's mouth twitched, "Don't mention the previous troubles..... However, I have to set an alarm clock, and I've been working on a manuscript lately, so don't forget it when the time comes....." stood up suddenly, "Not good! Speaking of manuscripts, I just remembered that today I have a new book signing for "Carnivorous Sheep"...."
Jin Yue blinked, tilted her head and asked, "What time is it?" You can't have missed the time, right? ”
"Eleven o'clock, two hours to go....."
"It's still early, where?"
"The Hudi Bookstore in the east of the city, it takes an hour and a half to take a taxi from here, and it will take me at least half an hour to walk to the nearest taxi stand outside your villa area....."
"Then I'll drive you there," Jin Yue also stood up, "but you have to wait for me, I'll go change my clothes first." ”
Jang Yun-hee sighed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it seems that I can only trouble you to drive me now..... However, you can drop me off at the taxi stand and I'll take a taxi myself so I can catch the signing without you having to run too far back and forth. ”
Jinyue nodded and walked straight upstairs, "Well, yes, I'll go change my clothes and wait a minute....."
Jang Yun-hee sat back on the sofa, patted his head, and sighed. Turning his head, he caught a glimpse that the window in the living room was still open, and wanted to help Jinyue close the window to save a little time, so he walked to the windowsill, stretched out his hand to close the window, and suddenly noticed that the window lock had been pried on, and the imprint was very new, and he immediately frowned.
Turning around, Zhang Yunxi inspected the living room of the villa, but found nothing else wrong, shook his head inexplicably, and sat back on the sofa. Reaching out to pick up the cup on the coffee table, he lowered his head, his eyes were attracted by something between his feet and under the sofa, he half-knelt on the ground, picked up the thing, and looked closely, it was actually a piece of eyelashes.
Zhang Yunxi's brows wrinkled a little deeper than before, because she remembered that Jinyue didn't wear eyelashes, saying that she didn't want to add anything fake to her face and wanted to see people with her true face, so for many years, even if Jinyue wore makeup, she only wore light makeup.
This woman who has come in the house has come in through the window, and her first thought is the word "cheating", but after thinking about it, Zhang Yunxi feels that it is wrong, not to mention whether Jinyue's husband is likely to be bold enough to bring his lover home, even so, the woman should have fled from the house to the outside of the house, and there is no need to pry the window at all.
There is only one possibility, that is, the Jinyue family has entered the thief. The image of a female snitch immediately appeared in Jang Yunxi's mind, and he immediately became interested, planning to ask Jinyue for a while.
When people are absent-minded, they are prone to make mistakes.
When Jang Yun-hee reached out to hold the teacup, he accidentally knocked over the teacup, and the water flooded the golden mountain.
Sticking out his tongue, Zhang Yunxi hurriedly picked up the paper towel on the coffee table to wipe it, wiped the water stains on the coffee table, and was about to take out the paper towel to wipe the water stains on the ground, but found that the paper box on the coffee table was empty.
Sighing, Zhang Yunxi remembered that when he came to visit Jinyue's house before, he went to the laundry room next to the kitchen, and there were a few mops in it, and immediately walked over.
Opening the door of the laundry room, Zhang Yunxi saw the mop next to the washing machine at a glance, immediately picked up a mop, returned to the living room, cleaned up the water stains in three times and five by two, and then walked back to the laundry room and put the mop back in its original place.
He exhaled a long breath of turbidity, stretched his waist, and was about to turn around to leave, when Zhang Yunxi suddenly smelled a strong pungent smell, twitched his nose a few times, turned his head to look at the cabinet on the left side of the washing machine, and walked over slowly.
Opening the cabinet door, Jang Yunxi pouted, and there was only a pile of dirty clothes inside. But the smell did come from the cabinet, Zhang Yunxi frowned, squatted down, rummaged through the dirty clothes, and found nothing strange. He was about to stand up, but suddenly noticed a red stain on the ground.
Zhang Yunxi bit his lip and thought for a moment, took out a cotton swab from his backpack, dipped it in the red stain, carefully put it in the backpack and put it away, heard a sound of footsteps upstairs, and immediately exited the laundry room.
As soon as he walked to the sofa in the living room, he saw Jinyue who had changed his clothes walking down, Zhang Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Jinyue, has something been stolen from your house recently?" ”
Jin Yue's face froze, and she said with a complicated look, "How do you know, there are some handicraft accessories in the cloakroom that are missing, maybe the nanny Aunt Cai took them away." ”
Zhang Yunxi's eyes lit up, sure enough, it was a female snitch, and after thinking for a while, her brows furrowed again, "I just saw that your window has been pried open, but if it's your nanny, it doesn't seem right, she should have the key to your house....."
"I didn't give her the key to her house," Jin Yue pouted, "I don't want to worry about other people entering my house all the time, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and later it turned out that I was right, that Aunt Cai's hands and feet are a little unclean, and she often steals some of my jewelry, I have asked her to go back to her hometown a few days ago, and I will find another one after the New Year." ”
"Did you call the police?"
"Hey, those are fakes," Jin Yue shrugged indifferently, "It's just that I'm experimenting with new styles in the jewelry store, and they're not worth much." ”
"That's good...."Zhang Yunxi sighed, "I've met that Aunt Cai a few times, and she looks like a very honest person, but she can actually do this kind of petty theft, I really don't know my heart." ”
"It's hard to know people and faces, sometimes the appearance of a person you see is not necessarily true, and the person you see is not necessarily the person you think in your heart," Jin Yue said with his eyes lowered, "Not to mention the heart, people's hearts are too complicated, no one can see through them....." raised his head and squeezed out a smiling face, "Don't talk about this, it's better to send you to the taxi stop quickly, it's really late, your book fans will drown you with a mouthful of spit." ”
Zhang Yunxi was reminded by Jinyue, looked at the time on his watch, hurriedly pushed Jinyue out, and said with a sad face, "Hurry up, hurry up..... I can't afford to offend those people..... It's all my food and clothing....."
Jin Yue laughed and walked out of the villa with the car keys, "You wait for me here, I'll go to the garage next to me and drive." ”
"Oh, by the way," Zhang Yunxi suddenly remembered something, pointed to the house number next to the gate of the villa and said, "I wanted to tell you when I entered the house just now, and I forgot it when I entered the door...... The nail on the top of your house number has fallen, and the entire house number has been reversed, obviously it is 9, but now it has become 6, I almost thought I had found the wrong one when I came. ”
Jin Yue glanced at it obliquely, "Oh, it's probably the little trickster who made it bad, this is not the first time, it's nothing, I'll let the property nail a few more nails when I go back." ”
With that, Jin Yue walked to the garage, and Zhang Yunxi put his hands in his pockets and stood in place waiting.
In less than a minute, a pink Audi stopped in front of Zhang Yunxi, Zhang Yunxi sat in the car, the car sped away, passed through the gate of the villa community, crossed other cars, and also crossed Zhu Dachang and Hou San, who were pushing motorcycles on the road....
Hou San was holding a bulging black handbag in one hand and the handlebar of the motorcycle in the other, tired and sweaty, his eyes were dizzy, and he suddenly let go of the hand holding the motorcycle, "Lao Tzu doesn't push ..... anymore"
Without Hou San's help, the motorcycle lost its balance and fell to the ground, Zhu Dachang also sat on the ground with a stumble, and comforted Hou San, "Third brother, hold on a little longer, only 6 kilometers to the gas station...."
"Zhu Dachang," Hou San said hatefully, "I want to ask you a question.....
"Third brother, your brain is smarter than me, and you don't understand the question, and it's in vain to ask me..."
"It's not a complicated question, you can definitely answer it," Hou San gasped, "Let's talk about the first one first...... How far is it from this villa where we live? ”
"I know this," Zhu Dachang said excitedly, "I used the map on my phone to navigate here, and I remember that it was 45 kilometers." ”
"Okay, my memory is not bad...."Hou San took a deep breath, "Next to the second question, how many kilometers can this Happiness 125 run with a full tank of fuel?" ”
"I can run about 100 kilometers.....
"Very well, let me ask you one last question..... How many kilometers is the nearest petrol station to this villa complex? ”
Zhu Dachang's voice was a little shorter, "I just checked.... 7 km less than ....."
"Since you know, why do you only add half a cylinder of oil," Hou Sanyue said, the more angry he became, he took off the shoe on his right foot and threw it on Zhu Dachang's face, "Lao Tzu met you and it was really eight lifetimes of blood mold, mother, can you do things and move your braincase, don't know every day to eat and eat, eat and sleep, and eat when you sleep, what is the difference between that and the pig in the pen, you know what the fate of the pig is fattened, and it is put on the table by others!" ”
"Third brother, I don't have enough money to add a tank of oil, and I have to buy a pot helmet...... Moreover, you can't blame me, half a cylinder of oil can barely hold up to the gas station, and push a .....kilometer or two at most," Zhu Dachang stammered, "It's all that yellow-haired thief who doesn't talk about stealing morality, and actually steals the car of his peers, but fortunately, the car is not fueled enough...."
"Do you mean that I should still award you a little red flower, if it wasn't that the car ran out of gas, we wouldn't be able to catch up with that yellow thief..... Phew, for a broken motorcycle, Lao Tzu tossed all night....." Hou San spat on the ground and kicked Happiness 125 hard, but forgot that he was not wearing shoes, covered his feet in pain, exhaled a sullen breath, endured the pain, looked down at the handbag full of jewels in his hand, and beckoned to Zhu Dachang, "Get up, Lao Tzu has figured it out, now we are also rich people, what do you want this motorcycle to do, go back and buy four wheels!" ”
Zhu Dachang stood up, followed behind Hou San, who was limping, and glanced back at the motorcycle reluctantly, "Then the motorcycle is there, don't you?" ”
"Don't want it, which one wants to push the ....."
"Then why don't we go back to the hotel?"
Hou San carried a handbag full of jewels and glanced at the shared bicycle on the side of the road, "We swept a shared bicycle by ourselves, rode to the taxi station, took a taxi back, my mother took a handle, tired all night, my back hurts, go to the hotel and sleep well before talking about the rest of the matter." ”
Zhu Dachang let out an "oh" with a blank face, and then unlocked a shared bicycle with Hou Sanyi and rode to the taxi station.
Ten minutes later, Hou San and Zhu Dachang finally arrived at the taxi stand, and happened to see a taxi parked on the side of the road, so they immediately opened the door and sat in.
The driver who was sitting in the cockpit glanced back at Hou San and Zhu Dachang, and pointed to the black handbag in Hou San's hand, "Put things behind, don't make my car dirty!" He turned around and muttered, "It's really possible, I carry a bag in the morning and don't put it in the trunk, and it costs dozens of .....dollars to wash the car if it gets dirty."
Hou San handed the black handbag to Zhu Dachang and snorted, "You go and put it, Lao Tzu doesn't want to move." ”
Zhu Dachang took the black handbag, swayed to the back of the body, opened the trunk, threw the black handbag into it casually, closed the trunk, and didn't notice that there was a bag in the trunk of the taxi that was exactly the same as his handbag....
