Chapter 74: Tattoo Parlor
Cao Ying glanced at me and didn't object, but after stopping the car and letting me and the fat man get out of the car, she said: "The boss said that we will assist you, and you are not under our control, but before you want to act, can you tell me, I have a good preparation, in case you need support, it will be too late!" β
This was said very politely, and I could only nod my head.
"Okay, I remember! Sister Ying, drive slowly, I'll call you if there's any situation! β
Cao Ying made an OK gesture and drove the car away.
As I walked to the store with the fat man, he asked, "Meridian, tell me what the hell is going on?" Didn't I say I was looking for your help that day? Why did such three suddenly appear? β
I laughed, "I was a little confused when I first went, but Uncle Huo told me that sometimes when dealing with things, you need support, and when the case is solved, you need to close it, don't look at them ordinary, they are all talents!" β
"Not ordinary! Not ordinary at all! The fat man immediately said, "Don't look at it for a few hours, I want to say that the female sister is on alert when she walks, with a posture of one against three!" And that camel, a fist can kill a cow! And that Hong Yu, don't look thin and shriveled, there's something in that eye! You don't need to look at the keyboard to play the computer, you are a proper otaku computer master! β
I laughed, didn't speak, pulled him so as not to hit the telephone pole, and turned onto the old street.
"Look, I'm right!"
"Yes, that Hong Yu is indeed a computer master, or a top-notch one, in Cao Ying's words, a hacker!"
"Look, I'm right!" The fat man seems to say, "And then?" β
"What, then?" I looked at him, "And then you're here, the case is here, we're back!" β
"Damn! And that's the end of it? I haven't had an aftertaste yet! β
I opened the door and said with a smile: "Okay, you slowly arise, let's go back to the tattoo parlor!" β
We came back just in time, Aunt Liu had just had lunch, and when she saw us coming back, she immediately said, "I was talking to Shi Dan just now, saying that I don't know if you will come back for dinner!" β
"Where's the stone egg?" I asked.
"Went to school! Didn't eat it, did you? I'll bring it to you, but I'm glad I got your share! β
The fat man and I went to wash our hands, came back and sat down at the table to eat, and Aunt Liu made us a new tomato and egg soup, and went to the yard to dry the washed clothes.
After tossing all morning, we were all hungry, and we didn't speak, but buried our heads in eating.
After eating, Aunt Liu hadn't finished drying her clothes, so the fat man and I cleaned up the table and put it in the kitchen.
"I'll leave it there, and if you're tired, go to sleep!"
"Not tired!" I said, "Are there any guests in the morning?" β
"A few came in and looked around and left, and there were no purchases!"
The fat man and I went back to the shop, made tea, and sat on the beach of tea and drank tea.
The fat man asked, "When are you going to see it?" β
When I went out in the morning, I felt that it was going to rain, and it was very cloudy outside, so I said, "Let's be later, it looks like it's going to rain." β
The fat man also looked out, "I've been holding back all morning, why haven't you gotten down yet?" β
It's okay in the afternoon, the fat man fell asleep on the counter, and I was fine, so I went to the study, and today on the fifteenth, I wanted to incense the Shimen spirit card.
After incense, I sat on the Arhat chair, picked up the ancient books that my master often read, and flipped through them.
Within a few days of my master's departure, I began to wonder when he would be able to return.
When I left, I looked at the clothes in his room and took only a few sets with me, and I brought a sweater with thick clothes.
If you don't come back for a long time and don't have enough clothes, you shouldn't stop buying them, right?
I was worried for a while, took out my phone, called up Master's number and looked at it for a while.
He went out to do things, never called me, and told me not to call him.
It is said that in case of a critical moment, the ringtone of the mobile phone may miss a major event.
I looked at it for a while, and then I picked up the black screen of my phone again.
Forget it, they're all such big people, I shouldn't have to worry about it!
Sighing, I couldn't tell what it was like, and I thought I was melancholy for a while.
Maybe because of the weather, there weren't a few people in the store today.
In the evening, after the stone egg was out of school, the dark clouds began to be pressed down, and it rained.
The fat man was arguing with the stone egg while looking outside, "This rain is too good at time, can you still go at night?" β
"Yes!" I said without looking up.
The fat man walked back with his hands behind his back and took a sip of tea, "You say, is there a problem with that tattoo parlor, or is there a problem with the boss?" β
I thought for a moment and said, "Whether it's the store or the owner, there may be a problem." β
"But this morning, didn't Cao Ying say that the boss ruled out suspicion? He didn't have time to commit the crime! β
I laughed, "You can still say such a thing, you are a soy sauce maker every day, right?" β
"Gotcha! I'm small! The fat man smiled, "There are many tricks to kill people without seeing blood, it's not unusual!" β
I didn't bother to bother with him and went upstairs to watch the stone eggs and do my homework.
Shi Dan was really serious, I didn't hear the door when I entered the room, and sat at the desk with my head bored and wrote.
I looked behind him for a while, it was a math problem, basically nothing I did wrong, and slowly exited the room.
After dinner, it was raining harder outside, so I came out with two raincoats.
"Aunt Liu, I'll go out with the fat man!" I shouted to the back.
"It's raining out there, be careful when you go out!" Aunt Liu replied.
Aunt Liu's concern for me is basically silent, and she will never stop me from going out because she cares.
This is also where I think my master's vision is better than mine, after all, the master is the master, and he sees people very accurately.
Shi Dan ran downstairs to drink water and asked me where I was going, but Aunt Liu pulled her ears and went upstairs to continue doing my homework.
As I walked out, I felt enveloped by the cool air of the rain.
"How to get there?" The fat man asked.
"Let's take a taxi!" I remember that the address wasn't too far away, but it wasn't close, and it was two blocks west of the Ginza Building.
It was not easy to take a taxi on a rainy day, so we waited for half an hour before an online car-hailing came.
After getting into the car, the driver didn't say anything, and after checking the tail number of the mobile phone and the place he was going, he drove silently.
I didn't talk to the fat man, and when I got to the place, I got out of the car, and I walked to an alley according to the address.
"How can a tattoo parlor be opened in a place like this?" The fat man muttered as he looked at the garbage all over the place.
This is an alley between the two communities, and there are all storefronts on both sides, large and small, selling everything.
"This kind of store basically relies on online publicity, as long as the craftsmanship is good, someone will come to it!" I said, looking up at the store in front of me.
The faΓ§ade is not large, but only two or three meters wide, and the doors and windows fill the outside.
The doors and windows are painted black, the glass reveals the dim light bulbs inside, and the sign outside is quite artistic wrought iron signs, with the word "tattoo" written on them.
"That's it!" I pushed the door open and walked in, and the bell on the door "jingled".
It's not big, a few square meters, but there are two small sofas, a small bar, and a messy coffee table full of magazines.
A chandelier with a yellow bulb, just above the bar, there was no one here.
"Boss?" The fat man shouted loudly.
"It's coming!"
