Chapter 2 first quarter

Every time Sister Yan took a sip of tea, Xia Bing's scalp felt a chill, fearing that she would smash the bowl against the wall at any moment.This tea was bought by Du Chunxiao, the cheapest tea, and the cup was always used by her to make condensed milk, and it was not washed clean enough, so under normal circumstances, he would definitely not take it out to entertain guests.Only this time, the person came suddenly, and it was the first business of the detective agency, so everything was rushed. Du Chunxiao has been lying on the long leather antique sofa next to him, pretending to doze off, with his legs propped high on the armrest, but his eyes are half-open, because this female guest really attracted her.Sister Yan wears a rose red dress with the same tight skirt, a pair of bright red high heels studded with crystals, the crystals are the same size as a bunch of swan-shaped pins on her chest; The feathers soared to the sky, and the thick and shiny curly hair was tightly bound; the eyes surrounded by fine lines under the half-curved bangs were poisonous, and there was nowhere to hide, because the wrinkles around the lips had scattered, and the lipstick was smooth. The lines spread out, so it is extremely inconvenient to drink tea.

However, Xia Bing was still in a state of trepidation. After all, Sister Yan let him open the business, and the business was not small, asking him to find a red card dancer nicknamed "Little Hu Die".Xiao Hu Die's original name is Guan Shumei. She just turned nineteen this year. She is slender and speaks with a northern Jiangsu accent. However, because she is a veteran of the show, she can also speak Shanghai dialect very well, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand.The photo was spread out in front of Xia Bing, it was indeed a beautiful woman with red lips and black eyebrows, her makeup was not too heavy, and her two dimples were deeply sunken, as if she wanted to press someone into it and get drunk to death.

"It's her. We found her. Just tell us where she is. Pay a deposit of 300 yuan first, and then pay another 300 yuan when she is found. How about it?" Sister Yan's brows were filled with worry, and she was very happy to pay. of. "Let me take a look at the photos." Du Chunxiao couldn't help it, and suddenly sat up from the sofa, walked to Xia Bing's desk in two or three steps, and picked up the photos. Sister Yan didn't mind, she just took out a cigarette from her handbag and smoked it. Du Chunxiao took the opportunity to order one, and the two women looked at each other from this moment, and they instantly fell in love with each other because of their common preferences.

"When did she disappear? Did you mention going back to your hometown or getting married before? Do you have a lover?" Xia Bing tried to look more formal, and the frame of the glasses was equipped with the latest models, although her appearance would be different after wearing them. It didn't look any better. "Half a month ago, one day I didn't come to work suddenly. I went to her residence to look for her, but there was no one there. Some of the outfits in the closet were missing, and there were also a few pairs of shoes. You also know that girls from Paramount don’t come when they say they come, and leave when they want. It’s not okay to turn your face and deny people after making money. Besides, several bosses want her by name. Even if she doesn’t come, there must be Shall I explain?" When Sister Yan mentioned the word "explain", she couldn't help but increase her smoking intensity.

"Did there be any unusual circumstances before the disappearance? For example, for a man, or did you say that you were going to go ashore?" Xia Bing adjusted his glasses very seriously, and kept recording with a small notebook in his hand. Sister Yan sneered, and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: "How do you know what to go ashore? Do you think you can go ashore if you really want to? It also depends on the situation. Don’t let her escape either. So hurry up and find her, just tell me where it is, and don’t ask other questions.” Just as he was talking, Du Chunxiao handed a brand-new set of Tarot cards to Sister Yan, and said with a smile, "We also offer a fortune-telling service as a bonus. Do you want to come and try it? It's free."

When Sister Yan saw the card, she laughed even wider: "I have played with foreigners before, and it is quite accurate." "What is it?" "Do you still need to ask?" Sister Yan sat down on a sideways position again, looking at Du Chunxiao with interest. There were still twenty-two "old friends", Sister Yan shuffled the cards with ease, and pushed them to Du Chunxiao.Du Chunxiao divided the cards into three stacks, put them together again, straightened them clockwise, moved them to the side, drew four cards, and formed a diamond formation. Past Cards: Power Reversed.

"Well, as expected, they are all from poor children, and sooner or later they will have to work shamelessly... oh no, to make a living in public." Du Chunxiao just said this, and Sister Yan took a puff of cigarettes at the power card, and then said: "Where is it? Shameful? The girl looks quite modern, but her mind is still so feudal." Du Chunxiao didn't even talk back, but he was a little embarrassed when he said the words, so he had to continue to flop. Status card: the right moon, the right devil. Du Chunxiao said: "It's a coincidence that this card appears, and it's all about the word 'cheat'. The moon dominates the yin, and it's very bright but also very illusory, which means that some women are cheating. The devil's card is even more ominous! It means that the little girl Hu Die is in danger, maybe..."

"Maybe what?" The person who asked was Xia Bing, who had squeezed his face like bread with his palm. "Maybe he didn't leave voluntarily, but was forcibly taken away." Du Chunxiao unveiled the future card: the upright wheel of fortune. "Madam, if you find this person for you, the price will be doubled." The air froze for a while, and the three of them didn't speak, Xia Bing was sweating anxiously, fearing that the business would be lost.Du Chunxiao is obsessed with money, and all he wants to do is go to the western restaurant across the street to eat raw steak at night.On the contrary, it was Sister Yan who seemed to be making a decision.After a while, she nodded, opened her purse, took out another stack of banknotes, and pushed them to Du Chunxiao's hand.

"Hold it, girl, I'll leave this to you." The meaning is clear, finding someone has now become Du Chunxiao's task. Sister Yan stood up, the scent of toilet water mixed with the spicy smell of Marlboro cigarettes swept over Xia Bing's nose.The tightly wrapped buttocks bounce up and down, and you can vaguely discern the demeanor of being an "elastic girl" back then. "I didn't expect you to talk nonsense, and you even added food to us!" Xia Bing clapped his hands and laughed, and put several rolls of money together.The life of the two of them is really difficult now, but no one has ever exposed it. Du Chunxiao often only eats one meal a day, and the rest of the money is used to buy cigarettes.

"Fortunately, it's the first time she entrusts such a thing. She has no experience after all, and she always shows some critical tone when she speaks." She put on a crumpled windbreaker with a smile, and was about to go out with him for a dental festival. "What's the tone?" He was a little embarrassed on the spot, but he still couldn't help asking. She smiled and said, "Didn't you hear that she said the word 'clothes' just now? She said that Xiao Hu Die didn't see anyone at home, and she also lost a few clothes. This outfit is only worn when going to work in a nightclub. If you don't wear it temporarily Going out without making a sound, how can you use such grand clothes? You must choose the light and homely clothes to take with you."

He nodded in agreement: "That's true. But what if Sister Yan is also lying?" "There are only two possibilities. One is that she lied. In fact, she knew that Xiao Hu Die ran away by herself, but she didn't know where she went, so she asked us for help, saying that the missing outfit was made up now; the other is that she If you tell the truth, then Little Hu Die must have been in danger, and someone even tried to cover up the fact by disguising her residence, but unexpectedly exposed such a loophole." "Then why did you tell Sister Yan just now that Little Hu Die was kidnapped? You said it with such certainty." She grinned and replied: "Because of the shoes, she said that a few pairs of shoes are missing. Only women will notice the shoes. If she didn't go to the shoe rack, she would not have thought of it. The current weaving is also a bit too detailed. .” He had nothing to say at the moment, so he could only pull her up and go straight to the western restaurant.
Xiao Hu Die’s residence is also in the alley. Although the autumn is breezy, the clothes poles above the head are criss-crossed, and the rows of diapers, gowns, mandarin jackets, and cheongsams are all wet and displayed. The air can smell the moisture.As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the furniture was made of mahogany, but it was a pity that the top was covered with rust, and every drawer smelled like wet rags.The wardrobe where the so-called outfits were kept smelled musty as soon as it was opened, and it was packed to the brim with blonds and pinks.Du Chunxiao fished in a circle, dropped a few strings of fake pearls, and then turned back to touch the window sill, which was also dripping with water.Xia Bing hurriedly called the landlord, who was a shriveled old man in his fifties, stooped, wearing a jujube-colored jacket and trousers, holding a teapot as thin as a wine glass.According to the landlord, the female tenant did not come home for fifteen days. The last time she saw her, she was drunk and knocked on the door in the middle of the night, saying that the key had been lost.He had no choice but to get up and open the door for her, and poured the chamber pot by the way. "She came back alone?" Xia Bing picked up a pair of pearl earrings that fell out of the closet, thoughtfully. "Alone." The landlord said firmly, "but when she knocked on the door, I heard the sound of a car passing by. You know, there will always be something like that in their business, and it's not the first time , I didn't care. But when Chenguang opened the door for Miss Guan, I was surprised to see that she was alone. I thought to myself, why is there a ghost today, and I don't do business when I have business. As a result, I didn't see her for dinner the next day. When she comes out, she usually comes out to have dinner at this time of day." Du Chunxiao retracted his head from the window, gave the landlord a hard look, and said angrily, "Xia Bing, quickly give him some foreign money, and let him tell the truth!" "Hey! How did this lady talk? How did you know that I wasn't telling the truth?" The landlord leaned the teapot against his chest, and his neck immediately turned red. Xia Bing hurriedly gave him five yuan, and said with a smile: "This girl is an idiot, ignore her, think about it again, what did you hear that day?" The landlord curled his lips, picked up the teapot, pressed the banknotes on the bottom of the pot, and said awkwardly: "It seems that that day... I didn't see the real thing, but it seems that a man followed her in, didn't see the real thing, just watched it in a daze One glance, did not see the truth, really did not see the truth!" Du Chunxiao suddenly jumped back from the window sill, and approached him with a face that had been tanned oily by the autumn sun: "What does that man look like? What clothes does he wear?" "It's not real, it just looks like he's wearing a hat on his head, and his face is buried in the shadows, so—" "Let me tell you my lord, the next time you lie, don't talk about hearing the sound of cars. In such a narrow alley, even if there are cars, they are parked on the street far away. No matter whether you are sleepy or not, you can't hear them." of." After finishing speaking, she pushed Xia Bing out, raised her head as soon as she got outside, and gasped heavily through the wet cloths lined up on the laundry pole. Xia Bing was curious, and asked her what was wrong, she frowned and spread her palms, muttering: "You idiot, this job is dangerous, and you must be careful next time!" In the palm of her hand was a fake pearl earring that had just fallen to the ground. A gray sparrow kicked off the clothes pole, spread its wings and flew away, drawing a dark arc in the air.
