The Taoist priest came back with several clear scratches on his face. He said the monkey was naughty and scratched him accidentally.
Well, everyone present believed it.
The old Taoist opened the fingerprint lock.
Everyone walked in.
Zhou Ze turned around and pointed at the door lock and said, "Remove it."
Zhou Ze already felt that he was "unique" enough to open a bookstore in a location where every inch of land was valuable.
If I open a bookstore in a prime location with a fingerprint lock on the door,
Zhou Ze really couldn't imagine how the passers-by who passed by his door every day would view him as a boss.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll do it right away, right away."
The experienced person has a good attitude.
"You've worked hard these days."
It must be very tiring to supervise the decoration alone, and as for finding someone outside, it is nothing new.
When people get old, they want the pear blossoms to outshine the crabapple tree, and they want to be stronger as they get older, and you have no reason to stop them.
"Boss, can you go upstairs and take a look? Since everyone is here today, shall I go and inform Lin Ke and Lao Zhang?"
Zhou Ze nodded. It was time for everyone to get together again and the whole team would be assembled.
"Hey, Boss, I have two more things to report. Lao Zhang has been very close to Officer Chen recently."
Officer Chen
Zhou Ze frowned, and the image of the beautiful female police officer emerged in his mind.
"Also, the Qu brothers and sisters across the street moved away a while ago, and the internet cafe has also closed down. This is the key they handed over. Since you are not here, I took it upon myself to accept it for you."
"Yes, I understand."
"Okay, then I'll go notify them and prepare a feast at the restaurant outside?"
The old Taoist saw that Xu Qinglang looked unhappy and guessed that he was injured, so there was no reason for him to worry about the banquet.
After Zhou Ze agreed, the old Taoist left the bookstore.
Zhou Ze lay down on his favorite sofa. The sofa was replaced with real leather, which was more comfortable to sit on. The spotted mink slowly slid down from Zhou Ze's shoulder and also lay on the sofa, lazily basking in the sun.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
The little monkey came over at this time.
He reached out and poked the marten.
The marten opened its eyelids slightly, then closed them again and ignored it.
The little monkey looked left and right, and scratched his head. It seemed that it was very excited that another "animal" appeared in the library, but it was helpless.
Except for barking a few times at the phone at the beginning, the marten was really cold to the little monkey in reality.
The little monkey also took out his toys, snacks and other things and placed them on the sofa where the ferret was, but the ferret just opened its eyes for a moment, looked disdainful, and then closed them again.
Liu Chuyu looked at them with some envy. Two monsters, and they were not ordinary beasts. He sighed with envy:
"There are two of them all at once. One is fast and the other is strong. Isn't this called a combination of literary and sports skills?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Old An won't be back for a few days. You guys can stay at the internet cafe across the street tonight. Find a bed for yourselves. I think we'll have things to do in a few days."
Zhou Ze needed Xu Qinglang to confirm it roughly again. It didn't have to be the exact location, other hints would also be fine.
By then,
Naturally, all the ghost messengers under his command had to be sent out to search.
It would undoubtedly be most cost-effective to kill Master Xu Qinglang before he fully "grows up".
"Okay, boss."
"clear."
"Please sit down and wait for the meal to be served."
Zhou Ze stood up, and the marten did not follow him this time, as if this position on the sofa was more attractive to it.
Of course, it would be better if there wasn't this noisy monkey around.
Zhou Ze pushed open the small door, and the black girl came directly here when she came back. This was her real home.
Once inside,
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment.
The entire ground was covered with green vines, and Deadpool was still planted in the mud, with only his head sticking out.
But at this time, Deadpool gave people a sense of overwhelming pressure.
It was as if the ground he was standing on had become a part of his body.
This feeling,
It’s a bit like the feeling of Monkey King standing in the palm of Tathagata.
Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes and did not move forward.
The black girl turned around, glanced at Zhou Ze, and said, "He's growing well. He'll be able to come out in a few days."
"I can feel it."
"Haha, do you ever feel a sense of panic as a father that you might be surpassed by your son?"
“You can try.”
The black girl shook her head, picked up the scissors and started cutting Deadpool's hair, doing it very carefully.
At this time,
Deadpool slowly opened his eyes.
The entire earth ground trembled at this moment.
Zhou Ze believes that
If I drive an excavator here and shovel away the dirt,
Here below,
It must be the dense and terrifying roots!
When the black girl said before that she wanted to implant Deadpool, Zhou Ze thought it was just a slight conditioning step, but now it seems that is obviously not the case.
Deadpool's eyes were clear, and seemed to be a little sharper than his previous "dull" look. After seeing Zhou Ze, he nodded slightly to Zhou Ze with a clear expression of submission.
"I'll make some arrangements. You can come and get the implant tomorrow. I can't guarantee that your arm will be as good as the original one, but it should be able to barely cope with your masturbation needs."
Zhou Ze ignored him and turned and walked out.
Whether some things will get out of control is not something we need to worry about now. Judging from the current situation, having Deadpool take root here is equivalent to adding another layer of insurance for the bookstore.
Although when Master Xu Qinglang appeared, the bookstore resolved the crisis by winning the prize.
But now, everyone in the bookstore has made obvious progress, and this time they have the opportunity to take the initiative. Even if he doesn't win, Zhou Ze doesn't think he will definitely lose.
After going up the stairs, Zhou Ze pushed open the door of his room.
Yingying was already changing the sheets here. When she heard someone open the door, she turned around and looked at her boss and said:
"Boss, this arrangement is pretty good."
The layout of the bedroom has not changed much, it has just been changed to a Japanese tatami style, making it appear more spacious and brighter.
Zhou Ze took a few steps back and found that there was no change in Xu Qinglang's room. He just restored the window that was damaged by the explosion.
The old Taoist also knew his limits. There was a formation drawn in Xu Qinglang's room, so he didn't dare move.
Zhou Ze walked into his bedroom and lay down on the tatami. Yingying brought him a pillow.
Zhou Ze took a short nap and woke up after about half an hour.
He got up and went downstairs accompanied by Yingying. Little Loli and Lao Zhang also came downstairs. There was a large round table set up next to the bar in the bookstore, with twelve cold dishes on it.
"Meet the Chief Constable!"
Five people, bowing together.
"Get up."
Zhou Ze responded.
In hell, Boss Zhou had even witnessed the scene of thousands of demon soldiers and generals of the Jiuli tribe kneeling together, so logically, he should be calm;
But in fact, he was really a little excited.
After all, the fighting spirit of Jiuli was kneeling to Ying Gou, but the five people in front of him were all his subordinates.
After going through the simple process, everyone took their seats.
Many people actually don’t like socializing at the dinner table, but sometimes there is really no other way. The dinner table is indeed a good place to ease embarrassment.
After the meal, Zhang Qiang, Yueya and Liu Chuyu, three ghost messengers from other places, went to the Internet cafe across the street to prepare their own accommodation.
"Let me know by phone when the time comes."
The little girl made a phone call gesture and turned around to go home.
Her situation was a bit special, and Zhou Ze acquiesced.
The little boy took the initiative to come over at this time and said, "It's not safe outside. I'll take you back."
Saying,
The little boy followed the little girl and left together.
Zhou Ze handed Lao Zhang a cigarette. Lao Zhang took it, put it directly between his ears, and tapped his hands on the table.
"Are you worried?"
Lao Zhang nodded.
"Business or personal?"
"It's both a public and a private matter."
"Oh, that's beyond words."
"There have been several cases of missing persons recently."
Old Zhang directly filtered out what Zhou Ze just said.
"Master, why hasn't the combination lock been changed yet? Why are you taking so long to do this?"
Zhou Ze stood up and walked towards the old Taoist.
Lao Zhang also stood up and continued to walk with Zhou Ze, saying, "What's strange is that people are indeed missing, but their immediate family members did not report the case. Instead, it was their colleagues or neighbors who reported the case."
Zhou Ze was helpless.
He raised his only hand and placed it in front of Lao Zhang.
road:
"Did you see it?"
"Uh, I saw it."
“I’m glad you saw it. I only have one hand left now. I’m sorry, Mr. Zhang.
Don’t say that I am not a living person, not a citizen, and have no obligation to cooperate with your work.
Look at me now. I have lost an arm. I just came back from a trip to the southwest and didn’t even have a good night’s sleep. And you want to drag me to help you fight against evil and bring peace to the people.
Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Zhou Ze poked Lao Zhang's chest several times with his fingers.
The finger bones are very hard.
Old Zhang staggered back several steps and coughed several times.
"You also feel the pain." Zhou Ze shrugged.
"No, boss, I just think this matter is a bit strange. At first, after we received the report, we contacted the family members of the missing persons. They all denied the disappearance. However, the missing persons reported by colleagues or neighbors were indeed missing.
I think there is something wrong here, and it is very likely that things are not that pure.”
"Their family members don't care and say they're not missing. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
"I'm a police officer. I'm not handling cases for the family members."
Zhou Ze pointed at the Taoist priest who was cleaning the table and said to Lao Zhang:
"Okay, I'll send you a capable assistant?"
“… …” Lao Zhang.
Zhou Ze paused, then pointed to the Internet cafe across the street.
"Just say what I said, go find any of them to help you solve the case, okay
There may be another important matter that I need to deal with later. What I need to do now is to transform myself from Yang Guo back to Louis Koo."
"OK, thanks."
Zhou Ze waved his hand.
"By the way, why did Officer Chen come to Tongcheng again?"
Lao Zhang looked at the Taoist priest beside him.
Obviously, since the boss was away during this period, someone must have reported it.
The old Taoist felt guilty and pretended to bend down to look for the dropped chopsticks under the table.
Lao Zhang was a little embarrassed and said, "She was transferred here."
"People like us shouldn't get too close to ordinary people, otherwise we'll bring bad luck and misfortune to them."
"I know my limits. I understand."
Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something else, but then he decided to give up and walked to the bathroom door, opened it, and shouted towards the stairs:
"Yingying, get some clothes and take a bath."
