Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan both looked at the store curiously. After a while, a young woman came out and asked, "What can you two do?"
Guan Zheng turned his head to look at the woman. The woman was young, dressed fresh but not vulgar, and her apron was clean and tidy, without a trace of oiliness, which was completely inconsistent with this small store. 8
Guan Zheng said, "Here are two spicy beef noodles and two cold drinks."
The woman smiled gracefully and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan sat down, even the stools were clean. Xu Jiuyan asked, "Why do you always look at this store? What's wrong with this store?"
Guan Zheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing wrong with this store. I'm just thinking about Black Friday. Did we look in the wrong direction?"
The clerk came out and said, "Excuse me, interrupt, sir, are you looking for Black Friday?"
Guan Zhengchao looked at the woman and said, "Yes, what clue do you know?"
The woman smiled and said: "I don't know very well, but there used to be a place on our street called Black Friday."
"You said there is a shop called Black Friday?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, don't you know?"
Guan Zheng smiled and said, "I really don't know, but I have been studying here for six years, and I have taught here for seven years. Why don't I know there is such a place here."
The woman smiled slightly and said, "That shop is just across the street. There is a small black house. There has never been a name, but sometimes Black Friday music will come out. It is said to be a small restaurant. It seems to be a place that sells old versions of CDs and DVDs, but I haven't been in it."
After Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan looked at each other, Guan Zheng nodded and said, "So you were talking about the store without a sign. This store has a long history."
The woman nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, it's been more than ten years!" Xu Jiuyan quickly captured this time information and asked, "Is this store still there?"
The woman smiled and said, "It's gone, it seems that it has been renovated and turned into a flower shop."
The clue that had just appeared was ruined, and Guan Zheng then asked, "Are there any interesting places around here?"
The woman asked curiously: "Are you here to play?"
Guan Zheng nodded and said, "Yeah, I haven't been back here for a long time. There has been a lot of changes here, and there is almost no way out."
The woman still smiled and said: "Yes, this place has changed a lot. If it weren't for staying here all the time, I guess it will be the same as you."
Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan, like ordinary people, ate two large bowls of noodles before going out.
As soon as she left the house, Xu Jiuyan couldn't wait to ask: "Do you remember that there is such a store nearby?"
Guan Zheng nodded and said, "Remember, there is indeed such a small house, but I have never entered it."
Xu Jiuyan asked a little puzzled: "But I have been around here for five or six years, why don't I have an impression?"
Guan Zheng looked over to the street corner and said, "This is the back of the campus. Don’t look at Nanyi University. It’s the starting point of the city’s commercial street. There are various snacks and commercial buildings. But behind this is an old street. There have not been many people. It’s normal if you don’t know it."
Xu Jiuyan nodded and said, "Why do I think this woman is so strange? Is she too familiar with this place?"
Guan Zheng was also unsure, and said: "I don't know too much. I have walked this street many times and I haven't seen this shop, but she knows it. It's still a bit strange."
Xu Jiuyan asked: "Do you want to check this person?"
Guan Zheng said, "Okay, let Yoko check it out."
Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan stood at the corner of the street, and there were many vehicles stopping at a small intersection. Guan Zheng said: "This is the junction between the remote North City and the city center, and it is also the place where Xi Yuanqing last disappeared."
Xu Jiuyan asked, "With so many cameras around here, didn't any one see him in which direction he was going?"
Guan Zheng shook his head and said, "There are none at all. It was a block renovation at the time, and there were no cameras at all. The only one has been broken for a long time because of the aging wiring."
Xu Jiuyan looked at the flower shop on the street and said, "Did you not check this shop at that time?"
Guan Zheng frowned and said, "Why take one of yours? It makes you not a policeman. I repeat, I did not take over the case. I was only an invited expert to assist in the investigation and did not visit in detail."
Xu Jiuyan nodded and said, "Well then, is this store still going in?"
"Anyway, go in and have a look!"
Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan entered the flower shop, and the lucky cat at the door also yelled, "Welcome."
Xu Jiuyan was startled by the voice, Guan Zheng couldn't help but smiled and said, "Are you so courageous?"
Xu Jiuyan rolled her eyes and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
Guan Zheng looked at the flowers in the house, waiting for the owner's response. Xu Jiuyan immediately shouted again: "Excuse me, is there anyone?"
Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan became nervous when they saw that no one responded. Guan Zheng took out their guns and signaled Xu Jiuyan to open the sliding door.
Xu Jiuyan nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm bothering you." But no one responded. Xu Jiuyan pushed the door open. There was no one inside, just some flower pots and a few bags of flower soil were piled up.
Guan Zheng took the gun and turned back to his waist and said, "It seems that there is no one."
"Then what shall we do?"
Guan Zheng fiddled with the hibiscus flowers at the door, stretched out his hand and pulled out six. He took out the wrapping paper from the counter, but wrapped the flowers beautifully.
Xu Jiuyan couldn't help being proud of Guan Zheng's versatility. Guan Zheng handed the wrapped flower to Xu Jiuyan and said, "I gave it to you."
With that said, Guan Zheng took out two large bills, stuffed them into the counter, and said, "Let's go."
When the two were about to step out, a woman came to face each other. Seeing Xu Jiuyan holding a flower in her hand, the woman broke her mouth and said, "Hey, how can this girl take other people's things casually?"
Guan Zheng explained: "Sister, we paid, and it has been put in your cabinet."
"What? You turned over my cabinet? Honestly, did you rob?"
Both Xu Jiuyan and Guan Zheng were defeated by the elder sister's innocence. As soon as Guan Zheng was about to speak, Li Chongyang called: "Master Zheng, Li Fu is indeed missing."
Guan Zheng's face sank, and he said, "I know he was lost. What I want to know is why and how Li Fu lost it."
Li Chongyang said: "I have tried my best to check, they just said that he lost it when he was out of business, and no one knew where he went." (End of this chapter)
