Chapter 178: Liu Siya's bet
"Boss Liu," I asked in disbelief, "You... Are you really sure it's me?"
"Hey," Boss Liu, who was in the watch shop opposite, was very convinced, "Brother Jiang... Me, that's real. It's not been a day or two since you've been in town, we've been dealing with each other for a year, how can I be wrong?"
Boss Liu had asked Granny Bai to see things earlier, and he was very respectful to Granny Bai on weekdays, and he would definitely not tease me about this kind of thing.
Subsequently, Boss Liu also talked about last night, when he and a few friends in the town had been playing mahjong in the store until more than eleven o'clock.
Later, it was a friend's family urging them to break up the game.
That night, those card friends left first, and Boss Liu finally sorted out the watch shop before closing and leaving.
Just as he was leaving last night, he saw me burning the dead utensils at the door of the Inquiry Hall... At that time, he also greeted me: "Brother Jiang, you are still burning things at the door so late."
At the moment, when I recalled it, Boss Liu of the watch store felt a chill in his back.
Because, I didn't respond to him at the time, it was more like Sen Leng turned around and glared at him.
It was that glance that scared Boss Liu all over his body.
"Didn't I say anything from beginning to end?" I asked.
"No," Boss Liu thought about it carefully and said, "Then I thought it was the night shift who called you by name, and you pulled your face... After all, if you ask the museum, it's all about dealing with dirty things, and burning things in the middle of the night is not good. I didn't dare to talk, so I hurried home!"
After speaking, Boss Liu swallowed his saliva: "Little brother of the Jiang family, this... Isn't that going to be wrong?"
"It's okay," I smiled awkwardly, and then went back to the office.
This was followed by the next two days. Every morning, at the door of the Inquiry Hall, there are traces of paper burners, but it may be because of the large night, all the paper ashes are blown away......
I'm starting to panic too! I'm afraid that this matter will not be delayed by Granny Bai's return.
I decided that I had to find out what the cause was, no matter what.
I even secretly thought that since Liu Xiaoqian and the middle-aged man were acquitted, there was a commotion at the door. Maybe this is a prank by a middle-aged man and Liu Xiaoqian.
They may be retaliating against me for going to the Investigation Bureau to report the case, or they may be middle-aged men who resent me for meddling that night.
Of course, there is a greater possibility that seeing the murderer at large, Zhang Wanxue's resentment became more and more unsettled, and she pointed the finger at me, after all, I had collided with her. If a ghost comes to the door, he will either ask for his life or ask for it.
Whatever the possibility, I've decided to check it out tonight!
On the day I was ready to act, Liu Siya came again.
She could see at a glance that my face was not very good, and quickly asked me, "Jiang Cheng, are you uncomfortable?"
"Don't mention it," I smiled wryly, telling her what had happened to her over the past few days.
Actually, it's okay not to say it, as soon as she talked about these strange things, Liu Siya immediately asked with concern: "Could this be related to Zhang Wanxue's matter?"
I knew that if I didn't tell her, she would definitely be able to haunt her until tomorrow morning, so I simply recounted my guess to her.
I didn't expect Liu Siya to care more than me, and said, "I'll accompany you tonight."
"What are you kidding!?" I couldn't stop crying, "Little sister nurse, what are you doing with me? Beware of bumping into ghosts."
"That's why I'm with you," Liu Siya didn't think about it, and said, "With someone as your companion, you can be a little bolder, not to mention, at a critical moment, maybe I can help you!"
It's over, there's one more heel here, I think it's going to be a tough night, and I'm pretty self-aware, just my ability to talk on paper.
If something goes wrong, I'm really afraid of making a fool of myself in front of Liu Siya!
"What!?" Liu Siya hooked directly
looked at me: "Jiang Cheng... You're not scared again, are you?"
"Me!?" I said strongly, "What am I afraid of?"
"That's right," Liu Siya pursed her lips and smiled abruptly, "Don't worry... I, I just know that you are just a fledgling, and I have no bottom in my heart so I deliberately accompany you and cheer you up. Besides, in Zhang Wanxue's case, I always feel that I didn't organize the tragedy in time that night."
In order to make up for the guilt of Zhang Wanxue, in fact, Liu Siya also hopes that she can help her!
But I'm really worried: "If Zhang Wanxue pesters me tonight, she wants to ask me for my life... Then I really don't have the ability to protect myself, let alone a way to do things. It's too dangerous for you to follow me!"
But no matter what I said, Liu Siya didn't seem to listen at all, and scratched my nose lightly: "I believe you... You have to have faith in yourself first!"
"Yes," the corners of my mouth twitched in embarrassment, "I know my pounds too well!"
See I don't have any confidence!
Liu Siya suddenly leaned over and stared at me: "Jiang Cheng, why don't we make a bet!"
"Bet on what!?" I asked curiously.
"Just bet, um—" She thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "If you can solve this problem on your own." Then I'll meet your request, or promise you a condition!"
"That's it!?" I looked disappointed: "It's better to gamble some money... What can I ask of you? Also, what other conditions can you have besides having a meal and watching a movie?"
"Wait...."
I'll admit that I was really out of that bit at that moment, and my thinking was obviously off track.
I immediately swallowed my saliva and asked tentatively, "What, under any conditions?"
