Villa Mystery Chapter 14 Shoes
How far a person can go sometimes depends not on the strength of the feet, but on the shoes under the feet. Shoes are not easy to walk, even if the road is smooth, it will be bumpy.
Zhang Xiaoman took off a pair of women's casual shoes again, put them aside, looked at the pale-faced wholesale market owner, and coughed dryly, "It doesn't fit, please help me get another pair..... The shading is the same as this pair, and the style is changed...."
"Okay... I'm looking for it...."The wholesale market owner brushed the few remaining hairs on the top of his head, and muttered as he rummaged through the densely packed shoeboxes, "It's strange that you can fit your feet, the big man's feet have to be stuffed into the woman's shoes....."
"I'm really sorry for you," Zhang Xiaoman said apologetically, "It's inconvenient for my wife to come here in person, so I can only try it first, but fortunately, the size of her shoes is about the same as mine, and she was born with a pair of big feet....."
The owner of the wholesale market pursed his mouth, but his face was full of smiles, "No trouble, no trouble, the customer is God, we will try our best to meet any request...."Picked up a shoebox and opened it, glanced at the pattern on the sole, and walked back to Zhang Xiaoman, "You try this pair of ..... again"
Zhang Xiaoman took the shoes, put them on his feet, stood up, and took two steps, "This pair is okay, the style seems to be similar to her previous pair.... This person has a bad memory when he is old, and if he can remember the style of those shoes, it will not be so time-consuming and laborious. ”
"It's good that you remember the sole pattern," the wholesale market owner breathed a sigh of relief, "otherwise it's really a needle in a haystack, you know, I can include all the shoes sold in the entire city of A.... Take the shoe you are looking for with this shading, there are dozens of different styles....."
"Then find them all out and give them a try...."Zhang Xiaoman touched his nose, "I suddenly felt that the style of these shoes under my feet didn't seem to be quite right...."
The owner of the wholesale market was immediately stunned, his face twitched a few times, and he slapped his mouth a few times, feeling a kind of despair like the few rare hairs on the top of his head were about to fall off, and tried to squeeze out a word from between his teeth, "Good ....."
An hour later, Mr. Zhang walked out of the wholesale market carrying a bag containing a shoebox that contained the same pair of women's casual shoes he had thought would fit, size 42, brown.
The owner of the wholesale market was like sending off the plague god, wiping his sweat on his head, and smiling to see off Zhang Xiaoman leaving, and the farewell guests were different, the wholesale market owner did not say the sentence that was often on his lips for the first time, "Come again next time".
As soon as Zhang Xiaoman left, the owner of the wholesale market ushered in a new customer, also a man, wearing a gray leather jacket. Unlike Zhang Xiaoman, Gray Jacket didn't come to buy shoes, but just gave the wholesale market owner a red ticket, asked a few words and left.
Walking to the taxi platform, Zhang Xiaoman stopped a taxi, sat in the car, leaned against the window, glanced back in the direction of the wholesale market, and saw that the owner of the wholesale market was standing at the door of the market again, as if he was sending someone off. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he read out a place name to the taxi driver - "Seongnam Funeral Parlor", and then closed his eyes and took a nap in the back seat.
After Zhang Xiaoman's taxi left, the gray jacket walked out from behind a certain billboard between the taxi stand and the wholesale market, pondered for a moment, and also hailed a taxi, but in the opposite direction to Zhang Xiaoman.....
When Zhang Xiaoman opened his eyes again, the car had been parked in front of the gate of the funeral home for 5 minutes, not because the driver couldn't bear to wake up Zhang Xiaoman, but for 5 minutes before Zhang Xiaoman was woken up. These 5 minutes made the driver frightened, the elderly can not touch casually, a touch may be like a broken porcelain piece collapsed on the ground, he is a big deal today.
can only shout and remind again and again, if it wasn't for quietly probing Zhang Xiaoman's snort, the driver almost thought that his order was not a gift, but a door-to-door delivery. In front of the funeral home, there was an old man in his car who couldn't wake up, and I shuddered when I thought about it.
When Zhang Xiaoman got out of the car, the driver didn't even confiscate the taxi fare and started the car and left like a whirlwind, for fear that Zhang Xiaoman would take out a dark coin from his trouser pocket.
Zhang Xiaoman blinked, and helplessly put the red ticket in his hand back into his pocket. It's not that he deliberately fainted to scare the driver away, in order to save this taxi fare. He really didn't hear the driver's shouting just now, not behind his ears, not sleeping deeply, but really not feeling the existence of the world. What happened after getting in the car and closing his eyes and taking a nap, Zhang Xiaoman had no memory at all, as if someone had erased this memory in his mind.
The first time this happened was three months ago, on an uneventful night. Zhang Xiaoman got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and after peeing, he pressed the flush button on the toilet, and the moment he turned around, his memory disappeared. To be precise, he closed his eyes inexplicably, lost all five senses, and his brain stopped functioning.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn the next day, he got up from the ground slowly, pretended to have just finished going to the toilet, returned to the bedroom, looked at Huang Xiaoxiao who was still asleep, sighed, and lay on the bed again, but he didn't dare to close his eyes again.
Since that night, similar situations have happened from time to time, and they have become more and more frequent. For many nights, Zhang Xiaoman was afraid that after he closed his eyes, he would never be able to open them again.
Before, he couldn't sleep; Now, he can't wake up.
So after discussing with Wei Xue, he decided to return to his hometown and find a solution to the problem. But it's not like a math problem, even if you have an idea to solve the problem, it's hard to find the right way. It happened that Nie Yi and Li Jun happened again, and Zhang Xiaoman stopped the process of solving his own problem and returned to City A, wanting to teach the apprentices the last lesson....
From the gate of the funeral home to the door of the funeral home, in just a short distance, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Xiaoman's mind, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and stepped in.
"Uncle Man!" A sweet voice sounded in the funeral home, "Why are you here?" ”
The voice is sweet, and so is the person. Although the young woman has smoky makeup on her face and her nails are painted black, in Zhang Xiaoman's eyes, the young woman has always been the sensible and well-behaved little girl.
Zhang Xiaoman raised his index finger in front of his lips and said the first half of what the little girl said many years ago when she hid in the cabinet, "Shh..... If you dare to say it...."
The young woman also put her index finger up in front of her lips and said the second half of the sentence, "Just twist your neck....." Haha laughed, and continued, "The code is right, my own people!" ”
Zhang Xiaoman walked up to the young woman with a smile and touched the young woman's head, "Tiantian, we haven't seen each other for a while, are you okay lately?" Did your master embarrass you, and if you have something to tell Uncle Man, Uncle Man will make the decision for you, and that old witch is not your Uncle Man's opponent....."
Sun Tiantian's face froze, and she kept squeezing her eyebrows at Zhang Xiaoman, signaling Zhang Xiaoman not to say anything more.
"What's wrong.... Got your eyes in the sand? Zhang Xiaoman said proudly, "I know... Did the old witch bully you and still won't let you say it? Don't be afraid, with Uncle Man here, even if the old witch is standing here....."
"I'm standing here now, what are you going to do?" An old woman with silver hair suddenly walked out of a door on the right, stared at Zhang Xiaoman coldly and said, "And.... Who do you say is the old witch? ”
Zhang Xiaoman's face froze, he turned his head awkwardly, pulled the corners of his mouth upwards and smiled, "Sister Luohong, you are also here.... What an old witch.... You must have heard it wrong.... Hahaha....."
Longbow Luohong snorted coldly, walked slowly in front of Sun Tiantian, completely ignored Zhang Xiaoman, and said to Sun Tiantian with a straight face, "Have you completed the pathological diagnosis of the deceased's internal organs?" Is the DNA match complete? Is the bone age test report out? You're quite idle, it seems that the task I assigned to you is still too easy, and you still have time to chat with some messy people..."
The smile on Sun Tiantian's face disappeared in an instant, and she threw a look of help at Zhang Xiaoman.
Zhang Xiaoman coughed lightly, "That..... Sister Luohong, I came this time to ask Tian Tian for help on a serious matter....."
"Not available," Longbow Falling Red immediately refused, "She's quite busy, and she'll be even busier from now on...."
Zhang Xiaoman pursed his lips, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, "Sister Luohong, it's really serious, you just raise your noble hand and let Tiantian help me.... I'll treat you to a big meal and thank you so much...."
Longbow Luohong squinted at Zhang Xiaoman, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's all my two apprentices who are to blame," Zhang Xiaoman shrugged his nose, "So, you're the best, I'm not even as good as you..."
Sun Tiantian looked at Zhang Xiaoman's funny appearance and burst out laughing.
Longbow Luohong glared at Sun Tiantian, raised his head, and looked at Zhang Xiaoman contemptuously, "Get down to business!" ”
"Those two unsuccessful guys investigated the case and got themselves into the detention center....." Zhang Xiaoman recounted the incident, "So now I have to find out the real murderers as soon as possible in order to get them out of prison, after all, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, it's not easy for us to be masters..."
"What do you want Tiantian to do for you?"
Zhang Xiaoman held up two fingers, "First, naturally help me do another autopsy on the deceased...."He took out a mud-stained tissue from his pocket, "Second, help me check the soil composition on this paper....."
Hearing the word "inspection", Sun Tiantian, who was standing on the side, slapped his forehead and shouted, "Oops! I forgot one important thing....."
