Magic Night 东野圭吾 1815Words 2018-03-22
After looking around the store for a week, Sakuragi sighed softly.There are two young couples in front of the creative ring counter, but no matter how they look, they look like customers who just want to see but not buy.Even if you buy it, it is estimated to be a bargain at around 30,000 yuan.Mito Shinkai has been recommending new rings to a pair who are better dressed.Only the woman was interested, and the man obviously wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.Sakuragi concluded that they would not buy it. At the engagement ring counter, Akiko Hatayama was showing a couple of rings to a man and woman in their thirties.He felt that there was still hope here.Customers who just look at it and don't buy it rarely ask the clerk to take out a variety of rings for a closer look, and men's clothes look quite expensive.Sakuragi guessed that he dressed up specially for Huaya.The rest depends on how expensive Hatayama Akiko can sell.That girl has such a good heart, she will always recommend cheap ones foolishly.If the guest seems to be hesitating, you'd better go and see for yourself.

There are also a few customers in other counters, but most of them just walk past the glass cabinets, just like in the aquarium.Young lovers who are fascinated by the things displayed in the glass case will not buy them at all. They are all gems worth at least 3 million yen.The economic downturn, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and the subway poison gas incident, the decrease in passenger flow is also expected. The person in charge of the third floor, Bangzhong, came up by the escalator, and Sifang was talking something with a flattering smile on his face.The middle-aged man and woman Sakuragi who followed behind have also met before. They are the owner and couple of a cheap store that has recently developed rapidly.Men tuck their fat bodies into Burberry suits and bling gold Rolex watches.The whole body of the woman is Hermes, but not only the figure and temperament are poor, but even the makeup is very rustic.Sakuragi felt that it was wrong for them to wear famous brands.

"Welcome. What do you need today?" Sakuragi walked up to them and greeted them. The ratio of smiles to the two was five to one.Women are naturally the focus. "I haven't decided on what I want. It's just that Bangzhong contacted me and said that there are some good products in the store." "Are you satisfied with the necklace from a few days ago?" Hamaka said. "Ah, the one from Black Pearl." Sakuragi nodded, he remembered.Despite the mismatch, the woman in front of me was quite satisfied at the time. "Didn't you say it's a good product with emeralds in it?" said the woman who painted her cheeks red and ugly, touching her cod roe-like fingers.She had already put on a ring with diamonds and rubies, bought here.

"I think you will like it." Sakuragi smiled at her. Watching Hamanaka lead the two to the VIP room, Sakuragi thought, these people who made a fortune selling cheap goods come here to show their prestige, it really hurts the brand of Huaya. Suddenly there was a voice of thanks.Looking up, Xin Haimeifu was handing the paper bag with the store name printed on it to the couple.Sakuragi originally thought that those two people would not buy it, but it seemed that his judgment was wrong.Creative rings don't make much money, but they're better than nothing. Sakuragi looked at Xin Haimei and thought, this woman is really a rare talent.When she was suddenly transferred from the store on the first floor, Sakuragi was worried about whether she would be competent, but in fact she was very good at grasping the psychology of customers.I heard that she once worked in a famous fashion store, but I don't know why she resigned.I thought she would have some fatal flaws, but so far it seems that there are no problems.

Sakuragi thinks Mifuyu Shinkai is much more capable than Akiko Hatayama, who is still struggling to sell a ring. Sakuragi decided to go over to help, and was about to take a step when he suddenly noticed something.A paper bag emblazoned with the Huawu logo sits under a display case with a diamond-encrusted crown.I thought it was put by a guest, but there was no one around. Sakuragi approached and picked up the paper bag.Then, it happened. Accompanied by a faint whoosh, a pungent stench permeated the air. Zhang Zi found that he could not concentrate on his work, and he was still thinking about that matter. Although he tried his best to control it, it still appeared in the corner of his mind.

The male customer is asking something.Zhang Zi, who was in a daze, couldn't hear clearly, so he could only ask, "What?" "I mean platinum—" As soon as he said this, Zhang Zi's eyes caught Sakuragi's strange behavior.Sakuragi was lying on the floor, his mouth was opening and closing, and one hand was still swinging. Zhangzi was wondering, when he suddenly smelled an extremely pungent medicine smell, and immediately felt difficulty in breathing, and his eyes were stinging.It's not just me who has this symptom.The female customer who had been comparing the two rings started coughing and her eyes were watering.The male customer who hugged her also held his throat and shouted: "Is it poisonous gas?"

This sentence made everyone present realize the seriousness of the matter.Everyone noticed the stench, and immediately there were shouts. "Get out!" The male customer grabbed the female companion's arm and rushed towards the stairs.The other guests followed behind them. Bangzhong came out of the VIP room: "What happened?" Zhangzi wanted to explain the situation, but he had difficulty breathing, and just about to open his mouth, he choked. "It seems to be some kind of gas." Mifuyu Xinkai walked to Akiko and put the ring outside on the counter. "Leave as soon as possible and save Mr. Sakuragi." She also started coughing violently.

Only then did Bangzhong understand, and shouted: "Pack up the goods quickly, and then take refuge below. Be careful not to forget to bring the counter key." The clerks were already in motion before he gave his instructions.There are not many customers, and there are very few products displayed outside.They put their handkerchiefs over their mouths and ran up the stairs.Sakuragi was also rescued by the female shop assistants, and someone rang the siren. Seeing Bangzhong leading the couple in the VIP room to the stairs, Zhang Zi patted Shinkai Mifuyu on the shoulder: "Hurry up and escape."

"Ok." Seeing Meifuyu walking in the opposite direction to the stairs, Akiko shouted: "It's the other way around." But Meifuyu did not stop, but pressed the stop button of the escalator to confirm that she had stopped before going down the stairs. The escalator went down.It turned out to be like this, Zhang Zi admired it. Sore throat and eyes, starting to feel headache, nausea.
