Back in the city, Qiu Li just got out of the car, Xiao Zhang drove away as soon as he slipped away, and seemed unwilling to stay here for a moment longer.

Qiu Li bought a morning newspaper at the newsstand downstairs, and with the morning newspaper in her hand, she went upstairs through the staff passage next to her.

Shen Scarlet in the café is already busy, originally said that it would start at 10 o'clock in the morning, she will arrive early every day, Qiu Li has the illusion that the capitalists are exploiting the working people, and such a good employee is not too much for a dozen.

The content of today's morning newspaper is related to the election, and the details of the three candidates have been released, and Akiri vaguely saw from the introduction of the morning newspaper that this newspaper is probably very disdainful of Mayor Kim, although it is not explicitly stated between the lines, but the insinuation is obvious.

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, the whole mall was suddenly lit up, and the music sounded, and it was about rainy today, and there were few customers.

The song came, it was still the female version of the lullaby, and after playing a song, the music suddenly stopped, and there was an eerie silence in the mall.

Akiri heard a guest who had just come up to buy a cup of coffee say, "Why are there so many security guards downstairs?" Is it a drill? ”

Qiu Li replied confusedly, "I haven't been notified either, I'll ask later." ”

Half an hour later, two security guards wearing maple leaf logos on their chests came up from downstairs.

Akiri went out and asked, "Is it a security drill?" ”

"The stereo is broken and is being repaired urgently, so let's come up and take a look." The security guard said good-naturedly.

Qiu Li was stunned, the stereo was broken, What does it have to do with the security guard, shouldn't it be the electrician master who came up!?

She was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard a commotion downstairs, and the walkie-talkie on the security guard's waist rang: "The state of emergency has been lifted, and the church choir has been invited to come." ”

After a while, a melodious singing voice came from downstairs, and although there was no musical accompaniment, it was still beautiful.

The faces of the two security guards were visibly relaxed, and the kind-faced security guard said, "Okay, it's okay." ”

Shen Scarlet came over, and she said leisurely: "They're afraid." ”

Qiu Li looked at her puzzled and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Shen Crimson didn't seem to hear it, and turned around and went to the bar.

Qiu Li was silent for a while, took out 10 silver coins, put them in a paper bag, she got up and handed the bag to Shen Crimson, "Today is the thirtieth, and the salary is paid." She looked at Shen Crimson with a smile, "The extra is the bonus, and in the future, the bonus will be given once a week." ”

Shen Scarlet subconsciously took it, she counted it, and said in surprise: "So many? ”

"If the business is good, there will naturally be more bonuses, and there will be more in the future." Qiu Li drew a cake at the right time, and felt more and more that she had a bit of the boss's tone when she was working in the main star.

She smiled awkwardly, but she didn't expect Shen Scarlet's eyes to be red, and people who have experienced hardship will be moved even if they say a few kind words from others.

Shen Scarlet was no longer polite, she put away the money, and suddenly said, "Qiuli, you move." ”

Qiu Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "I live well." ”

"It's not safe there, you ...... last tenant" Shen Scarlet Hong seemed to be recalling something, and after a while, she knocked on her head and said to Qiu Li: "I don't know what's going on lately, I always say half and forget half of it, don't you mind." ”

Qiu Li took a few steps back, sat on a chair near the door, took the newspaper in her hand, and said with a smile: "Me too, when there are many things, I always forget things." ”

An hour later, the choir downstairs was hoarse and clamoring to leave, and it seemed that the stereo had not been repaired.

The two security guards went upstairs again, and Qiuli went downstairs to take a turn, and there were three people in the choir, and they couldn't bear it.

The sound seemed to be a wiring problem, and the speakers throughout the mall were malfunctioning.

Akiri followed a few bored customers to the turnstile, she looked at the overpass outside the mall, today there was no one under the overpass, the sky was gloomy and terrible, and the three choir people were walking on the overpass.

As soon as she turned to leave, someone in the customer suddenly exclaimed, and then the crowd was running, and she turned her head to see a gap in the railing of the overpass.

Two of the three members of the choir had fallen, and one was screaming for help as he clung to a raised pillar on the edge of the bridge.

The two security guards at the gate had already run to the overpass, and they had just bent down to grab the man, who seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand, and his hand holding the pillar was folded into a strange shape, and only a scream was heard......

Akiri's heart fluttered suddenly, and she quickly walked back.

At this moment, there were already more people gathered on the first floor, and several people were muttering and watching the excitement, unaware of the impending danger.

Several security guards in the building were obviously nervous, and after a while, the outside was cordoned off, and the Doyle Street in front of the mall was temporarily closed, and the street was deserted all of a sudden.

Back on the third floor, several clerks selling men's clothing on the third floor also leaned against the window and looked out, and the two sporadic customers in their store, also holding coffee in their hands, stood under the umbrella on the terrace to hide from the rain while discussing something.

Akiri was frightened, made herself a cup of black coffee, and sat at the bar in a daze.

A man in a jumper suddenly ran up downstairs, his coat was stained and his hair was messy, and he was stopped by the security guard as soon as he came up, and he shouted anxiously: "Boss Qiu, I'm looking for you." ”

Qiu Li was stunned when she heard this, she walked out of the café, and the person who was stopped by the security guard was the player she threw out before, Ge Wendian.

"I know him, I take him to the side to talk, and I don't delay business." Qiu Li hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to the security guard, Qiu Li glanced at him, and he didn't know how he made such a mess.

Akiri led him to the corner of the mall, where a notice was hanging at the entrance of the building that it was being repaired, and it was empty because it was scaffolded.

Before she could speak, Ge Wendian knelt down with her legs in her arms, and shouted, "Big guy, help, big guy." ”

Qiu Li glanced at it quickly, fortunately this was the corner, and the scaffolding blocked the view again, she said quietly: "Get up for me, if you kneel again, I will leave, how do you know that I am here, what is the matter with me?" ”

Ge Wendian touched his face, stood up, and then explained: "I inquired about the property downstairs, and I knew that you were working here, don't mind, I'm also desperate." ”

"Say it quickly." Akiri glanced at the depths of the corridor out of the corner of her eyes, and vaguely felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Ge Wendian immediately sped up his speech: "One of my three companions is hanging, and the other two are missing, I'm not a gangster, living in the slum behind the church with a gang of hooligans." ”

His Adam's apple rolled a little, and he seemed to be nervous: "Last night, there were a lot of strange things in our area, the guy in the same room with me seemed crazy, I put several talismans on my body, hid in the utility shed and cats for a night, and only came out in the morning to ......"

His eyes showed a hint of sadness and horror, "They're all gone, no one, no one in our area." ”
