In Shenghai in October, the temperature at night is only 16 or 7 degrees.

The evening breeze with autumn was blowing Xu Jie's bangs, and at this moment he suddenly understood what "social death" was.

Looking at Zhang Yang, who stepped forward, he really wanted to say to the police:

I don't know him well.

Don't let him come!

But it was too late, Zhang Yang's movements were too fast, and he was already asking the police with a smile:

"He's an employee of my company, excuse me, is this something wrong?"

The police ignored Zhang Yang, but just urged Xu Jie to continue walking.

Behind them, another girl in a long red dress got out of the police car...... No, the accurate address should be Auntie.

After all, Zhang Yang is only twenty-one years old, and this lady's age looks like she should be four.

This woman is a little familiar?

Arrested along with Xu Jie...... It can't be his online dating partner, right?

Zhang Yang recalled that if whitening, skin grinding, face slimming, freckle removal, and acne removal were done, this aunt with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup would really look a little similar to the beauty in the photo.

He hurried a few steps forward and asked a certain man with his head bowed:

"Xu Jie, what's the situation? Scammed out of money? ”

Hearing this, Xu Jie seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly brightened a little.

He raised his head and said to the policeman behind him as he walked:

"Officer, this is my family member, and he is a witness in this case."

"He can prove that I really came to online dating. Arrest him and interrogate him. ”

"Is that so?" The police looked at Zhang Yang suspiciously.

"He does have an online relationship, and everyone in our company knows about it."

"I can assist with the investigation if needed." Zhang Yang nodded and said.

He looked at Xu Jie like this, as if he suddenly woke up a moment before he was deceived.

Of course, it is also possible that they simply didn't talk about it and tore their faces.

Anyway, there is no other entertainment at night, so of course Zhang Yang is willing to come and see the play.

……

In the mediation room, Zhang Yang finally knew the reason for Xu Jie's arrest:

Assault in public.

The aunt was his target, and after the two met in front of a restaurant, they fell apart due to visible fraud.

Xu Jie said: I'm sorry to disturb, I'm not feeling well, and I want to go back to the hotel first.

Auntie said: It's all here, I'll invite you to have a meal and then leave, otherwise I'll go back to the hotel with you.

Under coercion and temptation, the two entered the hotel.

Halfway through eating, Xu Jie faintly noticed that something was wrong.

He suspected that his aunt was a "rice nurse".

Because normal people, in such an ordinary restaurant, it is impossible to order more than 3,000 dishes in one go.

So when the aunt wanted to find an excuse to escape the order, Xu Jie caught her.

The two scuffled together in front of the hotel, and finally hit the police station......

"I really don't know him, we met on the road, he accosted me and said he wanted to invite me to dinner, of course I have no opinion."

"I didn't expect that after eating, he wanted me to pay the bill, and if he didn't pay, he would beat me!"

In the mediation room, the aunt bit herself to death and Xu Jie was not acquainted.

Xu Jie took out the photos of his online dating partner, as well as the chat history, to prove that he was here for a date.

But the aunt denied that the person in the photo was herself, because she didn't look like it at all.

I can't refute this, and I don't feel like a person at all.

Xu Jie's online dating is a 20-year-old college student class flower, and now the person sitting opposite can be the mother of the class flower.

Zhang Yang sat on the seat at the far end of the mediation room to listen, and his face turned red with a smile.

In the end, the police had experience, and after looking at the delivery address when Xu Jie bought a gift for his girlfriend, and then looked at the delivery address commonly used by his aunt for online shopping, he finally determined the "love relationship" between the two.

Online dating, of course, is also considered love.

"Ahem, I can't do it anymore, I have to go out slowly."

Zhang Yang couldn't hold it back, so he went out to wash his face and calm down.

However, before he could go back to continue watching the play, he saw Xu Jie sign the mediation agreement and walk out of the conference room.

"Reconciled?"

It's a little strange to be flamboyant, isn't this too fast?

Less than three minutes had passed since he came out of the mediation room.

Negotiated so soon?

"Uh-huh, half of the meal money for one person, two clear."

Xu Jie bit his lower lip and replied with a painful face.

In fact, if he insists on insisting, he may be able to define the other party as a fraud, but he really can't hold on.

Zhang Yang patted Xu Jie's shoulder sympathetically:

"Let's go, go back to Gotham, Batman said he wouldn't hit you anymore."

……

After the two came out of the police station, Xu Jie proposed to walk around.

In fact, it's just wandering around aimlessly.

Walking and walking, Zhang Yang found that there was a long street on the side of the road, it was already early in the morning, and there were still people coming and going, and most of them were old people carrying bags.

"Why are there so many old men and old ladies in the middle of the night?"

"Maybe it's the supermarket that distributes eggs." Xu Jie replied nonchalantly.

"Your supermarket is sending eggs at this point?"

"Let's take a look, maybe it's a [ghost market]."

Zhang Yang could think of that at this point in the morning, the place that could attract so many elderly people could only be a ghost market.

followed an uncle and walked to the end of the flower, bird, fish and insect market on Lingshi Road, in front of a four-story old building.

On the first floor, there is a sign for an antique and thrift market, but the door is locked.

The uncle who led the way was familiar with the road and walked in directly through a small door that was half open next to him.

With Xu Jie by his side, Zhang Yang is certainly not afraid.

The two followed the uncle all the way to the door and upstairs, and after only a few steps of stairs, they already heard the bustling voices upstairs.

The ghost market here is actually in the building.

It is worthy of Shenghai, a big city where every inch of land is valuable.

Climb the stairs to the second floor, and you can see the façade of the ghost market - [Collectibles Trading Center].

"I'm going to go in and have a look, how about you?"

Zhang Yang asked Xu Jie's opinion, not everyone is interested in antiques.

"Then I'll go in and find a place, and sit and wait for you." Xu Jie thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, bring me something when you're leaving."

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Ghost City?

Your leak king is here!

Walking into the gate of the market, the layout inside is a bit like a wholesale market, with long counters and glass cases behind each counter, which hold all kinds of antique and second-hand goods.

As for the counters next to the sidewalk, they are piled up with treasures used to attract customers, and some of them are even placed on the road.

In front of Zhang Yang, the dense flow of people could not be seen at a glance, but the few stalls that entered the door were a little more deserted.

What are you selling, you don't even have an onlooker?

He walked over curiously and took a look.

It turned out to be jadeite jade.

Although they are all dyed with glass or quartz, is this thing completely unbought in Shenghai?

It seems that the ghost market here is really different from Yangcheng.

Zhang Yang had a little more expectation in his heart.

He was going to look at the place in front of him, where there seemed to be someone haggling, and it was quite intense.

Before he could move forward, someone grabbed his arm.

When I turned around, it turned out to be the aunt of the stall owner who sold jade, and she said to Zhang Yang with a smile:

"Brother, I see that you are very kind-faced, and you are a blessed person at first glance."

"Do you want to invite a jade Buddha back, I am the jade Buddha of Hetian jade in the Qing Dynasty, very nourishing!"

Thanks to Yang Xiaobo for his 100 coin tip!
