For Zhou Ze, there was nothing more important than waking up from Yingying and the little loli early in the morning,
Taking a shower,
Then sitting in his favorite seat by the window to bask in the sun was even more comfortable.
Cat poop coffee,
Ironed newspapers,
As the crowd outside South Street began to recover from the early morning,
Watching the people outside working hard to make a living,
He enjoyed half a day of leisure across the window,
This..,
Perhaps this was the true taste of life.
The old priest was cleaning the bookstore. On a hot day, even though the air conditioner was turned on in the bookstore, he was still sweating.
The little monkey was wearing a cap and holding a rag in his hand, he was also helping the old priest wipe the tables and chairs. He was quite efficient.
Yingying took the dirty clothes out of the washing machine and went upstairs to the balcony on the second floor to dry them.
The vitality of the bookstore, coupled with the fragrance of coffee,
Boss Zhou placed his body on the sofa,
He felt that his entire body was beginning to go limp under the sunlight.
In the past, the old priest had asked Xu Qinglang why the boss liked to bask in the sun so much?
Because the old priest's previous boss opened a Netherware shop, he liked to take a stool and sit in the sun at the entrance of the shop when he had nothing to do. He was leisurely like an old grandfather.
Xu Qinglang replied,
Just like cold-blooded animals like crocodiles also needed to bask in the sun,
Ghosts..,
The Yin Qi was heavy,
So when he had nothing to do, he had to bask in the sun more,
Absorb more Yang Qi.
Of course, Old Xu, who said this, was still upstairs as his sleeping beauty. After taking him to the hospital for a checkup last time, he did not find any problems. Zhou Ze had originally planned to use his fingernails to wake him up.
However, he was still delayed by the matter of the villa. The injury on his fingernails had not recovered yet, which made Zhou Ze not dare to act rashly for the time being. If his fingernails were injured, it might cause his control over his fingernails to decrease.
If he accidentally stabbed too deep when he stimulated Xu Qinglang,
It would be a pity to directly stab Old Xu from a sleeping beauty to an ancient Loulan corpse.
The little loli also got up,
It was summer vacation, and she didn't need to go to school. Wang Ke left his daughter with Zhou Ze, but he was very relieved. He basically didn't care.
Perhaps..,
For Wang Ke, he should be busy solving his wife's problem. He really felt a little helpless about other things.
Looking at his childhood friend's current life,
Zhou Ze sighed even more,
What wife,
What child,
One person,
How nice.
Four or five middle school students walked into the bookstore. They were all male. This was their third day there. It was summer vacation, so they simply used the bookstore as a place to study and entertain themselves.
In any case, 100 yuan a day was already considered a lot when Zhou Ze was in middle school, but for the children now, 100 yuan in exchange for a place to stay for a day was very worth it.
Even their parents felt that it was worth it. After all, their children were going to the bookstore, not the internet cafe.
Zhou Ze watched as the children found a sofa and sat down to do their homework. One of them was in charge of English, one of them was in charge of math, and one of them was in charge of physics and chemistry. Whoever was done would pass it around and copy it, so they could finish their summer homework in half a morning.
The next step was to look for a book on the bookshelf and then go home to report on their mission at night.
The little loli also came out after taking a shower. Today, she was wearing a little princess dress, and her hair was loose. She was small and charming, and with her petite figure, she was as exquisite as a doll placed in the most conspicuous position in a toy shop.
Zhou Ze gave her the middle finger when he saw her coming down.
Her actual age was that of a lady.
He actually liked to act young!
He despised her!
Perhaps this was a strange circle. Many girls liked to act mature when they were young, but when they were a little older, they thought about how to make themselves young.
The morning in the bookstore passed slowly.
However, when it was almost noon, a blonde man walked in. The foreign devil had arrived. Everyone in the bookstore, including the students, raised their heads to take a look. Then, they did not take it seriously. Over the years, everyone had long been tired of seeing the foreign devil.
Other than the relevant departments who took it seriously, the ordinary people were able to maintain a very indifferent attitude towards it.
"Excuse me, do you provide food here?"
The foreign devil's Chinese pronunciation was very accurate and very authentic.
"Eat?"
The old priest sitting behind the bar counter was stunned.
Damn it.
Do you really think this place is a restaurant?
However, based on the principle that the customer was God, the old priest nodded and said,
"Yes, yes. We only provide a folk meal."
"OK, national is the world. I like it."
The foreign devil found a seat by the window and sat behind Zhou Ze. He was also very close to the five middle school students.
After a while,
The old priest carried a plate of peanuts, a plate of orchid beans, a few pieces of cloud cake, and some dried tea and yellow wine. He placed a small tray and brought it up. At the same time, he reminded,
"Set price, 888 yuan."
The foreign devil nodded, indicating that he understood.
The old priest helped him set up a few side dishes and left.
These were all the food that the shop used to entertain the ghosts. Dried tea, peanuts, cloud cake, and the like were also food that was easy to store. It was purely for convenience, and the shop only had these. After all, the chef was not around. The employees and the boss still relied on takeout to eat. How could they have the time to cook for the guests?
The foreigner nodded as he ate. He said that it was delicious and even took out his phone to take photos.
After eating halfway, the foreigner took the initiative to chat with the middle school students.
However, he had used Chinese before, but this time, he used English.
“How
are
you?”
“I'm
fine
thank
you，and
you?”
“I'm
fine
too。”
"..."
While the foreigner was talking to the middle school students, Zhou Ze heard the foreigner introduce himself as Otterson, saying that he was from Iceland.
"Boss, this penniless priest is going out to buy some daily necessities."
The old priest greeted Zhou Ze and went out after seeing Zhou Ze nod in agreement. The previous reminder was nothing more than to let the boss pay attention to the fact that this foreigner had not paid the bill.
On the other side, the foreigner was chatting enthusiastically with the students,
He could feel it,
He was very happy,
He felt that young people in China were really hospitable,
In fact, in Zhou Ze's opinion, the reason why these middle school students were so enthusiastic was because they wanted to practice their spoken English.
The little loli sat beside Zhou Ze and looked at him. "Can you tell me about the judge's pen again?"
Zhou Ze shook his head lazily. He had already said it once, so he was too lazy to say it again.
"I have a feeling that things are not that simple. The judge's pen would not disappear for no reason. Moreover, I went to the two families and secretly searched through their belongings. I didn't find anything special."
The investigation of the judge's pen had already begun after Zhou Ze returned. The old priest was in charge of pulling strings and running errands, but the feedback was useless.
Zhou Ze did not ask the little loli to investigate and only sent the old priest. However, after the little loli found out about this, she still secretly went to investigate again.
"So, do you have any suspects?" Zhou Ze asked.
"I want to go to the prison to meet the husband who was sentenced to prison."
The little loli looked suspiciously at that person.
"Don't think too much," Zhou Ze said.
"Don't you think he's very suspicious?"
The little loli frowned and said, "Why is it that out of the four of them, the other three are all in trouble, but he's the only one who's fine?"
"He's in prison, but he's fine?"
"Compared to death, what's going to prison?"
"If the judge's pen was in his hands and he wanted to kill his wife and children, would he be so stupid as to be suspected and sent to prison?"
The little loli was stunned,
She seemed to be deep in thought,
"What you said seems to make sense."
As she spoke,
The little loli jumped off the sofa and waved her hand:
"Forget it, I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore."
The little loli went upstairs.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
At this time, Yingying walked over to refill the boss's coffee.
"It's okay. I won't lower myself to the level of a child."
At this time, Zhou Ze received a message on WeChat. It was Zhang Yanfeng's reply:
"If you want to see him, I can arrange it. I just went to see him two days ago."
After glancing at the WeChat content, Zhou Ze silently turned the screen off and darkened it again.
Bai Yingying also saw the content of WeChat,
She was secretly delighted,
She felt that her boss treated the little loli as an outsider, but he did not treat her as an outsider.
In fact, Zhou Ze had always been very curious about the husband who was imprisoned, especially after the old priest searched his belongings and found that there was no valuable information. The suspicion of the husband who was imprisoned instantly rose.
Even if he was in prison.
The most important thing was that the judge's pen could not disappear for no reason.
Of course, the reason why he deliberately hid it from the little loli and investigated it himself was also a sign of boss Zhou's improvement after he put away his salted fish thoughts.
At that time, the judge's pen could isolate him from the person in his body. If the little loli got the judge's pen first, she would probably have a way to block him from relying on the soul blood to control her.
This kind of thing had to be controlled in his own hands. After all, it was not like the yin-yang book. At this time, he could not use it, nor could the little loli. Whoever used it would go in. That was why he could openly throw it to the monkey to look after.
However, the judge's pen could even be used by ordinary people.
He continued to drink his coffee and read the newspaper,
The few middle school students behind him were still chatting with the foreigner,
About an hour later..,
The old priest came back panting. He was carrying a plastic bag in his hand. Inside was some daily necessities.
"What's Wrong?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"Boss, this penniless priest's phone seems to have been stolen in the supermarket."
The old priest looked like he was embarrassed to death,
He could be considered an old man,
He could actually encounter a pickpocket,
And it was successfully stolen,
It was so embarrassing.
"Go to the police," Zhou Ze said.
"Sigh."
The old priest nodded helplessly. He put down his things and prepared to go out to call the police.
"I'll call the police."
At this moment..,
The foreigner, Otterson, who had been fighting with the middle school students, stood up and said.
"What I lost was my phone. Why did you call the police?" The old priest asked doubtfully.
Otterson thought for a moment and replied,
