Chapter 55 The seventh world
Scan the label of the goods, collect the cash, process the cooked food, and deliver it to the customer.
The work of a convenience store is very common. The passenger flow is the largest at noon, but two people can handle it. In the afternoon, the flow of people is reduced. Sometimes when no one comes to the store, Yao Liang stands at the counter with a tablet to watch. monitor.
The manager himself was not positive enough. The clerk next to him did not show any diligence even when he was there. Instead, he lowered his head and played with his mobile phone. Both the original and the current Yao Liang did not intend to pursue it, as long as there were customers. It’s ok to be enthusiastic when you are there, and there is not much time to rest during the day.
When I chose the store, I chose a good location. There are many hotels, short-term rental houses, and homestays nearby. There are also some companies. Even if there is more than one convenience store, there are many people who want to buy things directly from him.
As a result, Yao Liang started to watch the surveillance at double speed, staring so much that he couldn’t find anyone who could be called suspicious. The clerk beside the helper also looked curious: “Brother Liang, what are you looking at?”
He naturally couldn’t tell what he was investigating: “Some time ago, someone at the door didn’t know who had painted some symbols. Let me see which kid was naughty. Didn’t Brother Fang say that his battery car was stolen? Help him find it by the way.”
The clerk was skeptical, but he still flattered the boss: “Brother Liang, you are really nice.”
“With a little effort, by the way, you haven’t seen any strange people lately, have you?”
“Strange person?” The clerk seemed to be recalling, “There are many strange customers in the store. Every time I buy a lot of puffed food, I wrap my whole body tightly on a hot day. You need to use paper pads to carry your pockets. On the first floor, there are probably heavy cleanliness guests. There are regular guests who come on a regular Saturday or Sunday and only buy the same things every time; there are also strangers who don’t know what’s going on. The wind chimes at the door did not ring, and there was no flower in front of them. Customers who know when they will be next to the shelf. That’s all for the impression. If you want to say the strangest, you really can’t choose.
“I’m just asking casually.” Yao Liang wrote down these characteristics, then looked down at the surveillance, trying to find the characteristic people and other suspicious persons from the boring video.
When the other clerk was on the night shift, Yao Liang did not leave either, but after discussing with Huo Qianqian, he continued to stay in the shop, waiting to see if there would be anything different at night.
The clerk with him in the evening is Fang Ge, the original name is Fang Ge, a very cheap name, and his age is indeed a bit older than the other clerk, he is almost forty years old, so everyone in the store called him Fang Ge . When he came to work today, he talked about the battery car again. He looked closer when he saw the monitor. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see the position of the electric car parked from the monitor. Fang Ge lost interest after watching it for a while and started playing. game.
“Boss, are you there today?”
With some familiar voices, Yao Liang raised his head. It was indeed someone he had met. On the first day he came here, the other party had bought some instant noodles, as if he had come to travel from Province C.
He nodded naturally: “After two days of rest, I came to work.” He took a bag and put the man’s merchandise in it. “Are you going to travel here?”
Counting the time, the other party has been traveling here for about a week. N City does not have many places of interest. Most of them left after three or four days to play, but it is rare to see one taking a slow tour.
“I plan to stay here for a month and feel the city more.” The tourist took the pocket that Yao Liang handed over, with a full smile on his face, “The boss is doing prosperous business.”
“Thank you for your good words.” Yao Liang saw the tourist look at Fang Ge’s position, and greeted him before leaving.
The wind chimes jingle locally, Yao Liang suddenly remembered something: “Brother Fang, I remember you are also from Province C?”
“Yes, my hometown is in Province C. My sister came to study in N City, so I came here too. What’s wrong?”
Fang Ge casually swiped on the screen of his phone. Yao Liang glanced at him. He seemed to be searching for real-time murders in N City, but most of them were rumors like my sister’s colleague’s son’s girlfriend’s brother.
Yao Liang’s face was expressionless, and he even looked a little dignified: “In Province C, will you call the boss when you see a person standing in the store?”
“No?” Fang Ge put down his mobile phone and cast a suspicious look at the young boss’s question, but he added seriously, “But it’s not certain. Province C is very big. If any place has such a custom of begging for cheers It’s normal too.”
“Probably so.” Yao Liang finally understood the sense of disharmony that he had seen the man from Province C who was said to have come to travel twice. The store did not display the photos of the manager and staff, and the original did not produce the employee badge. , Why did the other party call his boss the first time he met; and this time, Fang Ge was also nearby, still playing on his mobile phone, and looked more like a store manager, but the tourist still called himself the boss.
Maybe he thinks too much. The other party is only used to saying good things when he meets people when he goes out. The last time I saw him acquiesced to this name, this time he said the same. However, Huo Qianqian’s words lingered in his mind: You will gain.
Is this a gain? How did Huo Qianqian know that there will be gains?
If Huo Qianqian has a problem, what about Guiyuan? Yao Liang recalled that the young man didn’t feel that the other party was pretending. His grief and anger towards his cousin, hatred of the murderer, and eagerness to find out the truth did not seem to be pretending. If he can really maintain such superb acting skills at all times in his life, Yao Liang wants to persuade him to go to the entertainment circle, and at least he can get a golden figure.
Yao Liang silently added his temporary teammates to the list again. Seeing that Fang Ge was still reviewing the news of the case, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he handed the cash register to him, and went to check the goods on the shelves and the small storage warehouse behind, and the accounts. Compare them to see if there are any missing items and what needs to be restocked.
“This year’s loss seems to be a lot higher?” Yao Liang turned to the previous page on a whim and found that the loss of goods this half year reached two-thirds of last year’s, and now it has exceeded the entire year of last year.
Coincidentally, when Yao Liang said this, Fang Ge was biting with a bunch of oden, and the action of putting money into the cash register was paused. He blinked innocently: “Boss, I eat. Things are given money every time!”
“I didn’t say you.” Yao Liang couldn’t laugh or cry, and didn’t continue the topic. “I’ll go back first, and I’ll leave it to you.”
“Don’t worry!” Fang Ge saluted a military salute and took a bunch of supper. When Yao Liang went out, the two white-collar workers who often came to buy supper and him passed by, greeted Fang Ge familiarly and let him warm up his lunch.
When Yao Liang returned to his residence, Gui Yuan and Huo Qianqian were both in the living room. It was already one o’clock in the morning. There was no light in the living room. Gui Yuan leaned on the sofa and fell asleep. Huo Qianqian seemed to be with whom While chatting, her finger quickly tapped the screen of the mobile phone, and the miserable white mobile phone light shone on her face, and she became extremely crippled as she looked over.
“Are there any gains?” When Yao Liang pressed the switch on the living room light, he heard Huo Qianqian ask, and he nodded: “It did. I met someone who cared a little.”
“Specifically?” Huo Qianqian came to his senses, slapped Gui Yuan on the sofa with his hand, and the young man rolled over from the cushion to the ground: “What’s wrong, is it dawn! Oh oh , Brother Liang, you are back, do you want to eat? I bought instant noodles.”
“Don’t always think about eating.” Huo Qianqian suppressed the unreliable companion with one hand and nodded to Yao Liang.
Yao Liang told them about the tourist from Province C. Gui Yuan immediately said that he was thinking too much, as expected, but Huo Qianqian nodded and agreed with Yao Liang’s speculation: “Even if it may be wrong, Nor should any intuitive prompts be ignored.”
“Don’t you believe in the sixth sense?” Gui Yuan looked completely incomprehensible, and quickly began to tear down the stage. Huo Qianqian glared at him: “I really don’t believe in the so-called sixth sense, but sometimes people’s intuition lies in Your body’s other sense organs have noticed something, but your consciousness hasn’t noticed it, so your subconscious mind will remind you of something wrong.”
“So there is something wrong with that man?”
Yao Liang didn’t speak, Gui Yuan seemed to have been persuaded, but Huo Qianqian laughed: “No, it may be just a suspicious misunderstanding, but it can be listed as one of the suspects.” She turned to Yao Liang: “Facts Come on, I never thought you would have something to gain today.”
“Huh?” Yao Liang was a little dazed, “but didn’t you say that I will definitely gain something?”
“If you use my conjecture about the perverted genius level, you will definitely gain. He enjoys public opinion about himself, and will never let anyone go after him, and you are so close to the place. Place, show interest in the case, he will definitely appear in front of you and talk to you.”
Huo Qianqian said with certainty: “He is proud of his masterpiece. The best stage for an actor is on the stage, but he did not show the freezer in front of people all at once. I have two guesses. One is at that time. Everything has not been done yet. Second, he wants to provoke the police slowly and regularly let people live under his fear. The murderer is like a child, who wants to show off but is not willing to walk in front of others. He has a low self-esteem. Also proud.
Therefore, when you show control of the information in the case at the convenience store, someone else will know that you are investigating the incident, and if the murderer returns to the scene of the crime, he may go to see you. Everyone who has discussed this case with you needs to pay attention. ”
“Including you?” Yao Liang teased and looked at them. Gui Yuan had a funny and angry expression on his face, but Huo Qianqian interrupted what his companion wanted to say and calmly said: “Including us.”
The author has something to say: I feel a little uncomfortable today, the number of words is a little less, and there will be more updates tomorrow, sorry. The year of 2020 is very difficult. I feel flustered when I see the spread of the epidemic. In addition, I have not had a good cold in the past month. I am always worried.
Little angels must pay attention to wearing masks, and persuaded the elders not to visit or party this year. I cried and screamed at home, and finally let my parents agree to wear masks when they go out to buy vegetables. Now the whole family is home. , No one yells to go out, feeling relieved halfway.
I hope everyone is healthy and going through this difficult time!
