Late Night Bookstore

Chapter 228: Don't pick wild flowers on the roadside

Views:

Zhou Ze woke up.

This matter,

It didn't cause much stir in this bookstore.

Xu Qinglang was still applying facial mask and massaging himself.

The Taoist priest was still broadcasting live, and the monkey was helping him shoot.

Deadpool continued to sit in the corner of the bookstore, and he would never get up and move unless he found something dirty.

Even Bai Yingying was still playing PUBG in her room. She waited until the game was over before she put down her headphones and went to Zhou Ze's private bedroom.

The boss woke up.

Whatever happens, the boss always sleeps anyway.

You can't blame the staff in this store for being too indifferent. If you were working in a company where the boss often disappeared for half a month or a month, you would become as lax... and degenerate as they are.

With Bai Yingying's help, Zhou Ze took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat in the familiar seat by the window on the ground floor.

The sun was shining brightly and it was a very pleasant day, but Zhou Ze felt as if he had just "woken up" not long ago.

This kind of sudden coma for half a month should be avoided in the future. Otherwise, while others live a month, I only live two days. Our life spans are obviously the same, but I always feel like I am losing out.

The most important thing is that Zhou Ze was a little afraid to let that consciousness awaken again.

Taking advantage of the warm sunshine, Zhou Ze thought for a moment.

The prerequisite for preventing that consciousness from awakening again is that one should not fall into a very embarrassing and dangerous situation again, a dilemma that is beyond one's current ability to solve and encounter.

In order to avoid putting yourself in a dangerous situation where you are helpless, you need to know enough to seek benefits and avoid harm, and avoid trouble.

The prerequisite for not getting yourself into too much trouble is to be calm enough, learn to avoid trouble and prevent it from finding you.

so,

I still have to make salted fish.

Salted fish is king.

We must be more resolute and persistent in our efforts.

Don't look, don't smell, don't go out,

Bask in the sun every day, drink coffee comfortably, and resolutely not get involved in any trouble or let any trouble get to you.

Boss Zhou just felt that salted fish was comfortable before, and it was his own choice.

Now, salted fish has truly become a survival rule.

However, when Boss Zhou just woke up and Bai Yingying was helping Zhou Ze make coffee, something happened.

The person who came in was Zhang Yanfeng.

I heard Bai Yingying say while taking a shower that he came every two days in the past three weeks, but they always used the excuse that the boss was away on business to get away from him.

This time, Zhang Yanfeng saw Zhou Ze as soon as he entered the door, and then walked over immediately.

Zhou Ze lowered his head, lay on the sofa, closed his eyes, and didn't want to see him.

"Have you seen the news? The excavation work there has been completed, revealing Japan's crimes in China, and the whole country is in an uproar." Zhang Yanfeng looked a little embarrassed as he spoke, "It's the tragic deaths of the Japanese in the ruins of the institute that made the propaganda a little embarrassing."

"Are there any remains of your relatives?"

"It's very difficult to find him. It would be a huge undertaking and costly to do DNA tests on each body. Besides, there is an incinerator there. Maybe my relative has already been burned to ashes."

"Just be open-minded."

"On the day the excavation work was completed, I dreamed that there were no chains on my feet. It was like a knot in my heart had been untied," said Zhang Yanfeng with a smile.

"Congratulations."

"By the way, where have you been recently? I came to look for you many times, but your clerk said you were not there."

“I went to borrow money.

You know, the bookstore business on South Street is really not doing well, and I have feelings for this bookstore, so I need to borrow money to maintain the operation and existence of this store.

Alas, not much was lent out.”

"Uh..." Zhang Yanfeng touched the back of his hand awkwardly and said, "What a pity, I don't have much money, otherwise I would definitely lend it to you."

At this time, Bai Yingying brought Zhou Ze's coffee and placed it on the table.

Zhang Yanfeng thought it was coffee prepared for him by the guests, so he said "thank you" and drank it by himself.

Zhou Ze's mouth twitched.

My heart is bleeding.

"I have to go out to borrow money. I can't wait any longer, so I won't entertain you."

Zhou Ze directly ordered them to leave.

"Um, I came to see you for something."

I know you have something to do, so I let you go!

Boss Zhou covered his temples with both hands and said in pain:

"It's a headache. It's a terrible headache. Money. I can't borrow money. It's hard, worrying, and difficult..."

"Don't worry about the money yet."

“… …” Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze really wanted to point his finger at the other person and start scolding him.

No rush about money

I believe that you are a selfless and good policeman of the people, but doesn't your conscience hurt when you speak like this

"I came to you at first to find out about work, and then because I thought of a case that had been on hold for a long time without any progress.

You told me before that if I encountered a very suspenseful case, I could come to you and try, and I would..."

"Did I say that?" Zhou Ze asked immediately.

"You said it was in the park that day."

"That can't be taken seriously. Besides, I was just detained by you at that time. I was intimidated by your authority, so I just said that."

“… …” Zhang Yanfeng.

It seems difficult to continue the topic.

But Zhang Yanfeng quickly followed up. He put the file on the table and said, "This is the file of that case. I brought the part that you can see. If you want to see more details, you can come to my office to see it.

To be honest, I didn’t believe in many things before.

I am a party member, I believe in Marxism-Leninism, and I am a staunch atheist. "

Zhou Ze stretched out his hand and pushed the file away. "That's right, you really shouldn't get too close to a charlatan like me."

"But *** taught us to rely on and unite the strength that can be united!" Zhang Yanfeng said righteously, "So, I think you may be able to provide me with some opinions and guesses on this case."

"I'm not a policeman. I'm just a debtor who runs a bookstore. It's inappropriate for me to get involved in a case like yours, right?"

"I can give you the status of a police consultant."

Police consultant

The previous police consultant is still blind.

Zhou Ze subconsciously looked up at the ceiling. Tang Shi said that she would be going back soon because the blind man still needed her care.

"To be honest with you, I don't want to do anything else right now." Zhou Ze sighed, "The last incident at the research institute cost me a lot."

"How about this, I won't embarrass you. I'll leave this file with you for now. You can read it whenever you want. It's an old case anyway. I'll take my leave now. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Bill, please… … "

Zhou Ze shouted,

But Zhang Yanfeng walked out of the bookstore as if he didn't hear it.

The old Taoist priest who was broadcasting live at the bar apparently pretended not to hear Zhou Ze's prompt.

joke,

You want me to ask a police officer for money

I am not that stupid!

Zhou Ze felt that his own bookstore urgently needed a rectification campaign to correct the unhealthy trend of sitting in office and enjoying life without doing any real work!

"You wake up, I'm leaving."

Tang Shi came down from upstairs, changed her clothes, and held the car keys in her hand.

"goodbye."

Zhou Ze waved at her.

She nodded and walked out of the bookstore.

"Boss, have some tea." Bai Yingying brought a cup of tea.

"Where's the coffee?" Zhou Ze asked.

"The cup just brewed was the last one. Now that kind of coffee has been drunk." Bai Yingying replied.

"Did you finish drinking?"

Zhou Ze bit his lip.

Heart,

It hurts so much that I can't breathe.

"What should we do with this file?" Bai Yingying asked, pointing at the file on the table.

"Throw it where I can't see it." Zhou Ze glanced at the file with disdain.

He would never open it and read it, nor did he want to know what injustice had been done, how cruel the murderer was, how pitiful the victim was, or how terrible the plot was.

I don't even want to look at it, just pretend I know nothing about it.

If you don’t know, you won’t feel guilty. If you don’t feel guilty, nothing will happen. If nothing happens, there will be no trouble.

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Zhou Ze took up his ghost messenger certificate and took a look. The GPA on it had not increased for a long time and had remained at a very low level.

Frowning,

Zhou Ze felt that it was a sin that he had been messing around all day without doing anything serious recently. Now it seemed that he had to think carefully about where to find a ghost to improve his GPA.

But to be honest, Tongcheng is such a small city, it's unrealistic to expect it to be filled with ghosts all of a sudden.

"By the way, where is the red spider lily that I asked you to seal last time?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Well, Lin Ke came by midway and took the red spider lilies away. She found a way to make them into sealed liquid jars, kept a part for herself, and sent the rest back."

Zhou Ze nodded with some satisfaction.

When you wake up,

Finally heard some good news.

At this time, Zhou Ze looked at Xu Qinglang and shouted:

"What are you having for dinner?"

Xu Qinglang took off the mask on his face and looked at Zhou Ze as if he had seen a ghost. He had no idea how much Zhou Ze wanted to "eat to his heart's content" right now.

"Okay, I'm going to go buy groceries."

Xu Qinglang looked helpless.

It's clear that my husband is not doing his job well.

He's a lazy guy who stays at home all day, but I still have to hold my nose and cook for him.

"Come for a walk with me. You've been lying down for too long."

"Okay, boss."

Bai Yingying supported Zhou Ze and walked out of the bookstore.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhou Ze saw a person who looked like an old woman scavenging, groping around in the window of his own bookstore.

"Go and ask her what she does." Zhou Ze said, because the old woman didn't look like a beggar. Although she was dressed in rags, her face and hair looked clean and she looked energetic.

Bai Yingying ran to ask, and the old woman said something to Bai Yingying with both words and gestures.

Zhou Ze leaned against the electric pole next to him and lit a cigarette. Before he could take two puffs, Yingying came back.

"Boss, ask clearly, she said she is looking for something."

"Looking for something?"

"Looking for flowers."
