Chapter 236: Pretending to be stupid
In the process of playback monitoring, Zhong Ming and Wuyi were not idle, and all the people around them were simply screened, the duration of the rainstorm was ridiculously long, and the rain was also very rapid, except for a very small number of people who chose to rush in the rain, the vast majority of people hid in the shopping mall, and the scene looked quite chaotic.
This seems ordinary, but it gives Zhong Ming and Wuyi an idea to investigate the case, no matter what this sudden rainstorm is trying to do, the most direct impact at present is the crowd of people stranded in the mall, maybe the suspect and the target are hiding in it!
There are not many problems that can be seen through the monitoring, but it is not completely fruitless, after exchanging ideas with each other, Zhong Ming said goodbye to the security guards of the mall and came directly to the lobby on the first floor of the mall.
Compared to the shopping malls in the city, this remote shopping mall is obviously much lower-end, whether it is clothing, shoes and socks, toys and gifts are cheap stalls, the main audience is also the more cash-strapped salarymen or wholesale and retail hawkers, the crowd is endless, all kinds of people can be seen here.
The hall on the first floor is very spacious, and the hollow-shaped building structure provides countless shopping passages for entry and exit and a large number of street frontages, and it is easy for people who come here for the first time to get lost in the hall.
The noisy voices have never stopped, the loudspeaker is selling wave after wave, the slogan of selling at a loss is loud, and from time to time you can hear a few words of "spitting out the serum warehouse" and "jumping price" The bloody shouts are as if not buying something is a blood loss!
After walking around, Zhong Ming felt a little physically and mentally exhausted, if he hadn't agreed to take over the case, he would have wanted to go home directly, this kind of mental torture was far more unbearable than physical fatigue, and he didn't know why the crowd of people who came and went were so happy.
The performance of Wuyi is relatively bland, or maybe women do have some special advantages in this regard, even if the flow of people around them is noisy, it does not reduce the interest of Wuyi at all, but rather curiously looks at all kinds of goods, and there are faint signs of wanting to show up and go shopping.
The two who had signed a symbiosis contract, in the case of a psychic connection, could vaguely perceive each other's thoughts, Zhong Ming was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly persuaded him, almost dispelling the idea of being helpless.
In fact, Wuyi just wanted to make a joke, hiding in the jade card could feel the chaos of the outside world, how could he just integrate into it regardless of the image, even if Zhong Ming didn't mind, Wuyi himself might not be able to suffer this feeling of rubbing shoulders, the reason why he deliberately pretended to be moved, all to test Zhong Ming's reaction.
Don't think that the obedient Wuyi doesn't have his own thoughts, it's normal to be willful occasionally, silently feeling Zhong Ming's concern, and Wuyi's heart is quite satisfied.
After the joke, Zhong Ming and Wuyi also resumed their state of serious investigation, because there were too many people coming and going, they could only wander around while roughly scanning the merchants in the hall on the first floor.
In a small storefront facing the street, there was a listless girl, and the store was stocked with all kinds of daily necessities, which seemed to be nothing special, but the empty row of containers in the corner attracted the attention of the two.
The business of this store is not good, perhaps because the goods sold are too old and outdated, and the owner is not very enthusiastic about attracting customers, compared to the prosperity of other stores, this store can be called a miserable scene, which is about to close.
Of course, this situation didn't attract the attention of the two, what really made Zhong Ming and Wuyi care was a row of containers placed in the corner, which were scattered with some long-dated old-fashioned umbrellas, which seemed to have been ignored for a long time, and there were even a lot of dust and oil stains on the surface.
It is easy to understand that there is dust on the umbrella surface, and people come and go in the shopping malls in all directions, and it is relatively rare to have no dust, but the origin of the oil stains is a little puzzling, and I don't know how the store operates, and I can't see the slightest idea of hospitality, and I don't even bother to take care of the dust and oil stains on the goods.
"Do you feel very familiar? There were a lot of umbrellas of this style in the previous monitoring, which should have been sold from this store, and the rest of the defective products are estimated to be in poor condition, even if it is raining outside, no one wants to buy this kind of umbrella stained with dust and oil stains for emergency!"
Zhong Ming pretended to be idle and casually strolled into the store, looking for clues, while silently communicating his thoughts with Wuyi in his heart, trying to sort out some clues first.
"It's true that I can't find anything wrong with selling umbrellas on rainy days, but if you take into account the climatic conditions in Anseong, this kind of umbrella with an oversized umbrella will not have a good market at all, not to mention the attitude of the store here, it is strange that business can be good!"
Wuyi's judgment is similar to Zhong Ming's, and he can see the problem from these umbrellas, but this kind of suspicion on the table is too obvious, and it is a little too simple to directly link it to the source of the rainstorm!
In order to avoid being disturbed by Fatty's judgment, Zhong Ming did not know the identity of the suspect in advance, thinking that this would reduce misleading, but he didn't expect the development of the case to be unbelievably simple.
Because he wants to dump the backlog of umbrellas, he uses spells to create a rainstorm and sells them on a large scale by trapping customers, which makes sense, but this approach is too unwise to hide from the eyes and ears of the administrator, so simple and direct without leaving a way back, and even people can't help but suspect that this is a deliberate frame-up.
Of course, with these umbrellas alone, Zhong Ming and Wuyi can't make these judgments, after all, it can't be ruled out that all this is a coincidence, the key to the problem is still from this young and beautiful shopkeeper, a faint demonic aura flows on the surface, the distance between the two sides is so close, even if you want to ignore it, it is very difficult!
In order to avoid startling the snake, Zhong Ming planned to probe the other party's tone first, and he was not in a hurry to show his intentions, and after thinking for a while, he thought about it for a while before thinking about it.
"Excuse me, I'm interested in these umbrellas, I don't know how to sell them?"
Since Zhong Ming entered the store, the owner of the store has always been fiddling with his mobile phone, and his eyes have not left for a moment, until Zhong Ming said hello, then he came back to his senses in a trance and stayed on Zhong Ming's body.
At this moment, as if time has been frozen, no words can describe the complex look on the other party's face, the thick affection overflowed from the eyes, revealing a shyness charm that I saw pity, especially the slight surprise and uncertainty that was inadvertently revealed, but also added a bit of soft style, and the attitude of wanting to refuse and welcoming the words made Zhong Ming subconsciously stunned on the spot!
"Did we know each other before, and why did you look at me like that?"
A sour vinegar came to his heart, in order to prevent misunderstanding, Zhong Ming hurriedly put on a correct posture and questioned the beautiful girl in front of him with a straight face.
"Xianggong, don't you remember the slave family anymore?"
A somewhat gloomy look flashed in the eyes of the beautiful girl, but then she looked eagerly at Zhong Ming's expression, as if she wanted to hear a satisfactory answer from the other party's mouth.
Zhong Ming felt bad in his heart, the spiritual connection had been cut off by Wuyi, and when he couldn't judge the other party's thoughts, the situation in front of him had become a little dangerous, and he hurriedly said righteously: "I think you recognize the wrong person, right? We have never met before, how can we become your husband?"
The beautiful girl was not depressed when she heard this, but took care of herself: "It's normal to forget the slave family, and one day I will remember it, as long as I can find the husband, the slave family is already satisfied!"
Speaking of which, Wuyi also sensed that something was wrong, and after restoring the spiritual connection, he secretly said: "The situation seems to be a little wrong, be careful that this is a trap, if it really doesn't work, it's better to show your identity as soon as possible, presumably the other party will have some scruples!"
Hearing Wuyi's reply, Zhong Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not in a hurry to reveal his identity, but followed the other party's words and asked: "Why do you insist that I am your father-in-law? What age is it now, why do you still call Xianggong slaves, are you sure that you are not acting in a sitcom?"
The beautiful girl's face changed slightly, as if she had seen Zhong Ming's vigilance, and she stepped forward and wanted to grab Zhong Ming's arm, but the latter reacted quickly and avoided it.
Just kidding, just being recognized as a mistake almost knocked over the vinegar jar, if you really are held by the other party's arm, it is estimated that Wuyi will appear in the next second, the picture is too beautiful to imagine, or be cautious!
"Xianggong, the slave family's heart is very clear, and there is no reason to recognize the wrong person, but this matter is a long story, and the slave family doesn't know what to say, so it's better to let the slave family find my sister and let her explain to you!"
Hearing the words of the beautiful girl, Zhong Ming muttered a little in his heart, but Wuyi took the attention first, and secretly pointed out: "The current situation is unknown, and I don't know if the other party is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, it is not a bad idea to find someone who understands, and it can't be that both sisters recognize the wrong person, right?"
Since Wuyi had spoken, Zhong Ming had no choice but to respond to the other party's request, and waited silently in a corner of the store, keeping a long distance from the other party.
