Chapter 169: Classmate, This Is Not Where You Should Be
Walking back into the alley just now, Su Chengyi's doubts that he had just suppressed surfaced in his heart again.
The raincoat freak is about the same height as himself, about 1.8 meters, and he is very thin.
If you can see the face, it is probably the type that is very thin and unhealthy.
He is very, very familiar with the topography of the olive region and can move freely without the need for light, suggesting that he is most likely an indigenous person living nearby.
Chen Jinzhi said that she had been in place and had not moved, but they had run back.
I didn't have time to think when I was taken away, but now that I think about it, he just took himself around here, and it's possible that he was only familiar with this area.
The moment I just tore the raincoat, I could see that it was wearing a white shirt and a red vest.
The wound on Chen Jinzhi's ankle was very deep, and it must have been kicked with a pointed scalp shoe.
This kind of dress is very similar to that of a waiter in a hotel.
After integrating the information obtained, Su Chengyi had a vague portrait in his heart.
After knowing the general size and work, it is not difficult to find him.
The first thing Su Chengyi did when he got home was to take a shower.
He has always felt that his athletic ability is average, although it is not as good as Xu Yang's type with developed limbs, but it is still passable.
When I was a social animal before, I would find time to run and practice boxing on weekends.
Today, he really felt a little tired, sweating, and very uncomfortable all over his body.
For some reason, the voice of the doll bear he had met in the mall suddenly sounded in his head:
"Handsome guy, swim and fitness!"
In this way, after the college entrance examination, it may be necessary to get a fitness card.
I actually let that raincoat weirdo run away tonight.
Although, to a large extent, the blame lies with their own night blindness and the intricate topography of the olive region.
He had a flashlight in his hand, but when he was running, the light source flickered and flickered, which affected his vision even more.
The clutter placed in the alley and the sudden fork in the road are very time-consuming.
Although in the end, relying on Chen Jinzhi's sudden plot, he still caught him.
But when he held him down at that time, Su Chengyi was really afraid that he would strangle him to death if he was careless, and the sound of his breathing sounded like he was about to die, so he subconsciously let go of his hand.
The raincoat freak looked skinny, like a skeleton of bones, and he didn't know where he got the strength.
When the two were chasing and fighting, the clothes stick that he picked up casually without talking about martial arts was broken, and he was stunned and didn't say a word.
Su Chengyi couldn't help but doubt that even if he smashed the aluminum alloy flashlight on the back of his head, he would be able to hold on until he escaped first before fainting.
And after he tripped over Chen Jinzhi and fell to the ground, he didn't press his head, but just pressed his shoulder.
He himself pressed his face to the ground desperately, so that his facial features were distorted, and with the roughness of the cement floor, his face was definitely scratched and covered in blood.
is so desperate, it's like he has some obsession, just don't want others to see his face.
Could it be someone the two know?
Su Chengyi searched in his mind, and couldn't think of an acquaintance who matched this characteristic.
After washing, Su Chengyi leaned on the sofa cushions and began to search for hotel information on local service software.
Turning off I don't know how many pop-up ads along the way, he almost browsed all the hotels on the list in Tang'an City.
There are similar red and white clothes, but after a closer look, I find that the styles are not similar.
Sighing, Su Chengyi stood up, and the clothes he had changed had to be washed.
The moment he pulled on the washing machine, he was stunned for a moment.
The bad news: I forgot to press start washing my shirt when I threw it in the washing machine two days ago.
Good news: the repaired hearing aid happened to be in the pocket of the shirt and not taken out.
It seems that it was because of the words that Chu Tianmian suddenly said after getting into the car, which made him absent-minded in doing things.
Taking out the hearing aid and putting it back in the drawer, Su Chengyi fell on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Tiredness made it almost impossible for him to think about anything, and as he was about to fall into a chaotic sleep, the sound of leather heels rubbing against the ground echoed in the alley suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Click, click, click."
Why is there such a procrastination sound?
- because the shoes don't fit well.
If you are a long-term, regular waiter in the hotel, the clothes should be customized according to your height and body type.
Even if it's not custom-made, at least it needs to fit properly.
In a situation where the shoe size is seriously inconsistent like this, it is very likely that he is working part-time temporarily.
So, at what point does a hotel need a lot of temporary workers?
- When holding a large event or banquet.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi was completely sleepy, and his thoughts became clear.
He reopened his browser and searched for recent announcements of temporary workers at hotels that had been contracted for birthday parties, wedding receptions, and the like.
This really allowed him to find a one that met the requirements.
The Deyue Restaurant in the Olive District recently hosted an old man's 100-year-old banquet, which was held for three days, and today is the second day.
Su Chengyi clicked on the evaluation of the restaurant, and suddenly wanted to laugh.
"I came here today to do errands, and I waited in the store for a long time, and the waiter acted as if he didn't see me, and no one brought the menu. **I don't want to do business, I'll close the door early, I'll give you face! ”
This looks like a grumpy telegraph dude.
"Sisters, lightning shelter this restaurant, this is also worthy of being called a restaurant? The environment is extremely poor, and it is not as good as the fly restaurant on the side of the road! ”
This aunt has pictures and truths, and the pictures take pictures of the environment in the store, which looks like the floor is very greasy, at least it hasn't been dragged for two weeks.
"My colleague's wedding banquet is booked here, and my suggestion is that if you don't want to get married, you can not get married, stumbling."
This brother must have given a lot of money, and in the end he was very unhappy.
"The fried kidney flowers are so fishy that they seem to be eaten raw, and the cook's skills are very poor!"
This is a big guy who pays attention to taste experience.
There are a total of more than a dozen reviews, only one is a default positive review, and the others are all one-star negative reviews.
It should be because the rating is too low, and the system automatically brushes it down the hotel rankings, causing Su Chengyi to turn dozens of pages and not turn to this restaurant during the first round of investigation.
In the picture released by the restaurant itself, the waiter is wearing the red and white shirt and vest on the raincoat monster.
The announcement for the recruitment of temporary workers said that it was necessary to work three consecutive days to settle the salary, otherwise it would be in vain.
The birthday party is still a day away, and if nothing else, the raincoat freak will have to go to work tomorrow.
That's easy to do, Su Chengyi marked the address of Deyue Restaurant on the map.
At a banquet like this, if you mix it in and eat it, generally speaking, others will not find out.
It's a big deal, and then give some money.
With the feeling of imperativeness, Su Chengyi covered the quilt and fell asleep.
A dreamless night.
During his lunch break the next day, he hurried to the location marked on the map last night.
In the weather of more than 30 degrees, in order to hide people's eyes, Su Chengyi also specially added a thin jacket over the school uniform T-shirt today.
When you get out of the taxi, you will be greeted by the noisy and joyful scene of gongs and drums.
At the door stood a welcoming waitress, also dressed in red and white, which looked like a match. On either side of the red carpet are clusters of flower baskets with cards with the names of the givers.
This Deyue Restaurant, with a total score of five points and a rating of 0.9, at least looks good on the outside.
Su Chengyi stood at the door and glanced at the big red banner that read, "Congratulations to Wu Lao: Happiness is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan!" ”
Okay, remember the birthday star's surname Wu, so as not to wait for the stuffing to be exposed.
This atmosphere reminded him of the memories of various relatives when he was a child.
He really hates eating at dinners, and being forced to chat and eat with a group of people he doesn't know at all makes no sense to him.
So on this occasion, Su Chengyi can run away, when he was a child, he was reprimanded by Su Zelang because of this, and he firmly believed that it would be difficult for a man to become a big man if he didn't understand the wine table culture.
Putting aside the shadow of childhood, Su Chengyi followed the crowd and slowly walked down the red carpet, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over the names on the flower basket.
This sweep saw a familiar name, and he "chuckled" in his heart.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wu on his birthday."
The following inscription is: Hou Yuqian.
To be honest, since Hou Yukun went in to step on the sewing machine and Hou Xiaohong dropped out of school, Su Chengyi has almost forgotten about the Hou family.
But when I saw something related to them, I was still inexplicably a little uncomfortable and had a bad premonition.
Suppressing his doubts for the time being, he stepped into the restaurant amid the welcome lady's welcome.
The internal structure looks similar to the photo taken by the aunt in the review, and it doesn't seem to be a malicious bad review.
Only a dozen or so dining tables were set up in the hall, and the second floor was empty.
Maybe it's the third day, so there are fewer guests.
Otherwise, it does look a bit bumpy.
Su Chengyi looked around, wanting to see where to pay the money, and he brought a hundred yuan in cash before going out in the morning.
Unexpectedly, he looked up and down, but he couldn't find it at all, so he had to find a corner and sit down first.
There weren't many people, and they sat apart.
Until the time the food was served, there were only four people at the table where Su Chengyi was sitting.
Everyone sat far away in a tacit understanding, forming a square, and no one spoke.
Unlike the festive atmosphere of gongs and drums beating outside, there was silence inside.
Forget if there is no master of ceremonies to preside over the banquet, none of the host's houses connecting the guests have appeared.
The banquet overall presented a very eerie atmosphere.
The waiter served the food in silence, and the guests ate in silence, and could only hear the celebratory music played on the stereo outside the restaurant.
Su Chengyi felt strange in his heart, but his face was calm.
His instincts told him that this was no ordinary feast.
But it didn't have much to do with him, so he still put his mind on the waiter wandering around the venue.
After some observation, there were some tall and thin people, but none of them were as thin as the raincoat weirdos, and there were no scars on their faces from scratches on the ground.
Isn't he in charge of the process of serving? Did you start in the back kitchen?
The dishes were served on plates, and the dishes were just like what the fried kidney flower brother commented, and they looked unappetizing.
I don't have an appetite, but it seems strange that I don't move a single chopstick when I come to the table.
Su Chengyi raised his eyes and observed the other people at the table, they all lowered their heads and occasionally took a bite of the dishes placed in front of them.
Most of the time, I drank the canned beer that the waiter had just brought up.
The dish in front of Su Chengyi was a plate of cold pork ears, and he picked up the chopsticks and tried to clip a piece.
Cooks can really be fired.
It is also a kind of ability that this kind of cold salad can be mixed so unpalatablely.
Su Chengyi put down his chopsticks and sat silently for a while, and after making sure that the waiter in the hall did not have the person he was looking for, he carefully pulled out the chair and stood up.
The other three people at the table suddenly raised their heads and stared at him.
That kind of look doesn't look like a stranger would show to other strangers for no reason.
"Eat slowly, everyone, I'll go to the bathroom."
Su Chengyi paused for a moment and said in a calm tone.
Hearing his words, several people lowered their heads again.
Su Chengyi tried his best to make his steps appear natural, but in fact, the doubts in his heart were already deeper.
He could clearly feel that after he stood up just now, not only the people at the same table, but also the people at the other tables were staring at the movement on his side.
It's so weird, like I've strayed into something I shouldn't have come.
Su Chengyi walked to the end of the corridor with the bathroom sign, and happened to meet the waiter who came out of the next room with a box of beer cans in both hands.
"Hello."
Su Chengyi stretched out his hand to stop him.
The waiter put down the beer in his hand, revealing a small face.
"Hello, do you need anything?"
He spoke in a brisk tone.
"Did you come here part-time because you saw the announcement?"
Su Chengyi glanced at the empty corridor and confirmed that no one else was here.
"Yes! You will be paid for your afternoon work as soon as you finish your afternoon's work. ”
The waiter geared up and looked happy.
"Congratulations. How many people come with you to work part-time? ”
"A dozen, what's wrong?"
"Is there a person about 1.8 meters in there, very thin?"
Su Chengyi swiped his hand on the top of his head.
"Well, I think about it, there's one."
The waiter quickly replied,
"But he doesn't work in the hall, he's in charge of moving goods, and I didn't see him when we gathered this morning."
"Do you have his contact information? I've got something to look for him. ”
Su Chengyi was very good, he directly took out the 100 yuan that was originally going to be a part of the money from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.
The other party immediately smiled:
"Well said, well said. At that time, when we came to apply, we pulled the WeChat group. And the remarks have to be changed to the name and mobile phone number, I'll find you. ”
He clicked on the information of a person in the group chat and handed it to Su Chengyi to see.
"He Wufei"
Su Chengyi turned on the camera on his mobile phone, took a picture of the WeChat information, and thanked him by the way.
The waiter can get a hundred yuan by selling a contact information, and he gets a windfall in vain, and he is checking the authenticity of the banknote against the chandelier.
Su Chengyi took two steps outside, suddenly stood still again, and turned around.
The waiter thought that he regretted and wanted the money back, so he quickly stuffed the money into his pocket and looked at him vigilantly.
"Excuse me, where's the back door?"
After walking out of the narrow passage behind the kitchen for taking out garbage, Su Chengyi immediately beckoned to stop a taxi.
Something is wrong, this birthday banquet and this restaurant are all wrong.
But no matter what, the information he was looking for was found here.
The name of the raincoat monster is He Wufei, this name seems to be very serious, and he is actually a stalker.
Forget it, Su Chengyi thought of the two brothers Hou Yukun and Hou Yuqian, and proved by himself that the name could not represent anything.
Before getting on the bus, he implicitly reminded the waiter just now, I don't know if he realized it.
After only three days of part-time work, the salary given by the restaurant is 2,000 yuan, which is almost equal to what peers earn in a month, which already represents a lot of problems.
The money is certainly not so easy to get.
I don't know if the raincoat weird noticed something like him, so he ran away today and didn't come to work.
The destination of the taxi is not No. 1 Middle School, there is still a while before the afternoon class, and the place where Su Chengyi got off is still in the olive area.
Dumbo commissary.
Su Chengyi discovered a theorem, no matter when he came here, there would always be a group of shirtless men playing cards in the smoky house.
He tried to take two steps inside, but the choking smell of smoke came out again.
There are melon seeds, pickled pepper chicken feet, instant noodles and the like at the counter selling things, which are for the sake of card players.
But there was no one at the counter, so I guess something went away.
Su Chengyi decided to stand at the door and wait for a while.
Now I don't want to say anything about the smell of smoke when I go in, and the people inside are busy fighting the card field, so I guess they don't have time to pay attention to him.
The alleys during the lunch break looked peaceful, and many people moved their chairs out to take a nap in the shade under the eaves.
Su Chengyi casually looked to the side and saw a familiar face.
An old lady sat in a chair and held in her hand an embroidery bandage, the same wooden ring used to taut white cloth in embroidery.
Su Chengyi will know its name because Yang Liu was obsessed with embroidery for a while, bought a lot of props and came back, and finally accidentally punctured his fingers, and in a fit of anger, all the props were returned to the trash.
It took only two days in total from getting started to giving up.
Lin Zhiwan was sitting on the small stool next to the old lady, smiling and helping her thread the needle, and her side face was very quiet and gentle.
Ah, right.
Yang Liu sent a message to himself before, saying that he had gone out on a trip with his sisters in a group in the past few days, and he had something to call.
It is estimated that Lin Zhiwan also took a holiday, so she is also resting at home today.
Looking at the past from Su Chengyi's point of view, the picture under the eaves looks like an ancient painting.
Lin Zhiwan always has a sense of softness that does not belong to this fast-paced era, everything around her is developing rapidly, only she always stays in the past, in the same place.
It's like whenever you look back, you can see her standing there, smiling gently at you.
"Yo! Why are you here, kid? ”
Suddenly being grabbed by someone, Su Chengyi turned his head and saw that Xiao Feige, who had a hippie smile, was touching the ground on his toes, hooking his shoulders very hard.
Su Chengyi smiled, and just as he wanted to answer, he said to himself:
"Oh~ Are you here to find the Lin family sisters and brothers? No, aren't you in the same class as Tongtong? Understood, looking for Zhiwan, I'll help you call her! ”
"It's not."
Su Chengyi hurriedly interrupted him.
"Don't look for Sister Lin, I have something I want to inquire with you, I don't know if it's convenient."
"What's the matter?"
Su Chengyi looked at Lin Zhiwan on the street, if she looked up, she would see herself standing here.
Xiao Feige is very clever, and when he saw his eyes, he immediately understood.
"Let's go, let's go inside."
