Midnight Bookstore

Chapter 295: Pickpocket

For Zhou Ze, nothing is more pleasant than getting up early in the morning from Yingying and Little Loli,

taking a shower,

and then sitting in his favorite window seat to bask in the Sun.

Cat shit coffee,

ironed newspaper,

with the crowd beginning to revive from the early morning outside South Street,

watching people come and go to make a living,

he secretly enjoyed a half-day of leisure from a window away,

this,

was perhaps the true taste of life.

The old priest was cleaning the bookstore. On a hot day, even if the air-conditioning was on in the bookstore, he was still sweating.

The little monkey, wearing a cap and holding a rag, was also helping the old priest wipe the tables and chairs, quite efficiently.

Yingying took the dirty clothes out of the washing machine and went upstairs to the balcony on the second floor to dry.

The vitality of the bookstore matched the fragrance of the coffee,

boss Zhou put his body into the sofa,

he felt that his whole body was starting to go soft under the sunlight.

In the past, the old Taoist once asked Xu Qinglang, why did the boss like to sunbathe so much?

Because the previous boss of the old Taoist was the owner of a netherware shop. When he had nothing to do, he also liked to take a stool and sit in front of the shop to sunbathe. He was leisurely like an old grandpa.

Xu Qinglang replied,

just like how cold-blooded animals like crocodiles also needed to bask in the sun,

ghosts..,

were full of Yin Energy,

so when he had nothing to do, he needed to bask in the sun more,

he needed to absorb more of the Yang Energy.

Of course, Old Xu, who said this, was still upstairs as his Sleeping Beauty. After taking him to the hospital for a checkup last time, he did not find any problems. Zhou Ze had originally planned to use his nails to stimulate him to wake up.

However, he was still delayed because of the villa. The injury on his nails hadn’t recovered yet, so Zhou Ze didn’t dare to act rashly for the time being. The injury on his nails might cause his control over his nails to decrease.

If he accidentally stabbed too deeply when he stimulated Xu Qinglang..,

it would be a pity if he directly stabbed Old Xu from the Sleeping Beauty into the ancient corpse of Loulan.

The Little Loli also got up,

it was summer vacation, so she didn’t have to go to school. Wang Ke had left his daughter with Zhou Ze, so he was very relieved. He basically didn’t care about her anymore.

Perhaps..,

wang Ke should be busy solving his wife’s problem now. For other things, he was really a little powerless.

Looking at his childhood,

zhou ze sighed,

what wife,

what Child,

alone,

how Nice.

Four or five middle school students walked in from the bookstore. They were all men. This was already the third day they had come. It was summer vacation, so they simply treated the bookstore as their place of study and recreation.

In any case, 100 Yuan a day was already a big deal for Zhou Ze when he was in middle school. But for the children now, 100 Yuan for a place to stay for a day was worth it.

Even their parents felt that it was worth it. After all, their children were going to a bookstore, not an internet cafe.

Zhou ze watched as the children found a sofa and sat down to do their homework. One of them was in charge of English, one was in charge of mathematics, and the other was in charge of physics and chemistry. Whoever did it well would pass it around and copy it, therefore, in less than half a morning, they could finish their summer homework for the whole day.

The next thing they did was to look for a book on the bookshelf to read until they returned home at night.

The Little Loli also took a shower and came out. Today, she was wearing a little princess dress with her hair down. She was small and charming, and with her petite figure, she was as delicate as a doll placed in the most prominent position in a toy store.

When he saw her coming down, Zhou Ze gave her a middle finger.

She was already a lady at her actual age,

she actually liked to pretend to be young!

He despised her!

Perhaps this was a strange circle. Many girls liked to pretend to be mature when they were young, but when they were a little older, they would think about how to make themselves young.

The morning in the bookstore passed by slowly and calmly.

However, when it was almost noon, a blonde-haired blue-eyed man walked in. When the Foreign Devils came, everyone in the bookstore, including the students, raised their heads to take a look. After that, they did not take it seriously. All these years.., everyone had long been fed up with the foreign devils.

Other than the relevant departments taking it seriously, the ordinary people were able to maintain a very indifferent attitude.

“Excuse me, do you provide food here?”

The Foreign Devils’Chinese pronunciation was very accurate and also very authentic.

“Eat?”

The old Taoist sitting behind the bar counter was stunned for a moment,

f * ck..,

did he really treat this place as a dining hall?

However, in line with the principle that customers were god, the old priest still nodded and said,

“Yes, yes. We only provide a folkloric set meal.”

“Okay, the nation is the world. I like it.”

The foreign devil found a seat that was also near the window and sat down behind Zhou Ze. He was also very close to the five middle school students.

After a while..,

the old man carried a plate of peanuts, a plate of orchids, and a few pieces of cloud cake along with some dried tea and yellow wine. He set up a small tray and served it to Zhou Ze. At the same time, he reminded him:

“Set price, 888.”

The foreign devil nodded, indicating that he understood.

The old man helped him set up a few side dishes and then left.

These were the meals that the shop used to serve the visitors. The dried tea, peanuts, and cloud cake were also food that was convenient for storage. It was purely for convenience. There was only these in the shop. After all, the Cook was not here right now, the staff and the boss of the shop still relied on take-out to eat. How could they have the time to cook for the customers.

The foreigner nodded as he ate. He said that it was delicious and even took out his phone to take photos.

After eating half of it, the foreigner took the initiative to start chatting with the middle school students.

However, he used Chinese before, but this time he used English.

“How are you?”

“I’m fine thank you, and you?”

“I’m fine too.”

“… …”

While the foreigner was talking to the middle school students, Zhou Ze heard the foreigner introduce himself as Otterson, saying that he was from Iceland.

“Boss, this penniless priest is going out to buy some daily necessities.”

The old priest greeted Zhou Ze, and after Zhou Ze nodded in agreement, he left. The previous reminder was nothing more than to let the boss notice that the foreigner had not paid the bill yet.

On the other side, the foreigner was chatting very enthusiastically with the students,

one could feel it,

he was very happy,

he felt that the Chinese young people were really hospitable,

in fact, in Zhou Ze’s opinion, the reason these middle school students were so enthusiastic was that they wanted to practice their spoken English.

The Little Loli sat beside Zhou Ze and looked at him. “Can you tell me about the magistrate’s pen again?”

Zhou ze shook his head lazily. He had already told her once, so he was too lazy to say anything more.

“I keep feeling that things aren’t that simple. The magistrate’s pen couldn’t have disappeared for no reason. I also went to the two families and secretly searched through their belongings. I didn’t find anything special.”

The investigation of the magistrate’s pen had already begun after Zhou Ze returned. The old priest was in charge of pulling some strings, but the feedback was useless.

Zhou Ze didn’t ask the Little Loli to investigate. He only sent the old priest, but after the Little Loli found out about it, he secretly went to investigate again.

“So, do you have a suspect?”Zhou ze asked.

“I want to go to the prison to meet the husband who was sentenced to prison.”

The Little Loli’s suspicious gaze landed on that man.

“Don’t think too much,”Zhou Ze said.

“Don’t you think he’s very suspicious?”The little loli frowned and said, “Why is it that the family of four and the other three are all in trouble, but he’s the only one who’s not in trouble?”

“He’s in prison, so what do you mean he’s not in trouble?”

“Compared to death, what’s the point of going to prison?”

“If the judge’s pen is in his hands and he wants to kill his wife and child, would he be stupid enough to be the suspect and go to prison?”

The Little Loli was stunned,

she was deep in thought,

“Your words seem to make some sense.”

As she spoke..,

the Little Loli jumped down from the sofa and waved her hand:

“Forget it, I don’t care anymore. I don’t care anymore.”

The Little Loli went upstairs.

“Boss, What’s Wrong?”

At this time, Yingying came over to refill the boss’s coffee.

“It’s fine. I Won’t lower myself to the level of a child.”

At this time, Zhou Ze received a message on wechat. It was a reply from Zhang Yanfeng:

“If you want to see him, I can arrange it. I just went to see him two days ago.”

Glancing at the contents of the wechat message, Zhou Ze silently turned the screen down again.

Bai Yingying also saw the contents of the wechat message,

she secretly rejoiced in her heart,

she felt that her boss treated the Little Loli as an outsider but did not treat her as an outsider.

In fact, Zhou Ze had always been very curious about the husband who was in prison, especially after the old priest found that there was no valuable information from the relic. The suspicion of the husband who was in prison instantly rose.

Even if he was in prison.

The most important thing was still because of the magistrate’s pen. It was impossible for it to disappear for no reason.

Of course, the reason why he deliberately went to investigate without the Little Loli’s knowledge was also a sign of boss Zhou’s improvement after he put away a little of his idle thoughts.

At that time, the magistrate’s pen could separate him from the person in his body. If the Little Loli got the Magistrate’s pen first, she would probably have a way to prevent him from using his soul blood to control her.

This kind of thing had to be controlled by him. After all, it was not like the yin-yang book. He could not use it at this time, and neither could the Little Loli. Whoever used it would enter, so he could throw it to the monkey to guard.

But the magistrate pen could be used by even ordinary people.

He continued to drink coffee and read the newspaper,

a few middle school students behind him were still chatting with the foreigner,

after about an hour passed..,

the old Daoist came back breathlessly with a plastic bag in his hand. Inside was some daily necessities.

“What’s Wrong?”

Zhou ze asked.

“Boss, I think my phone was stolen in the supermarket.”

The old priest looked so embarrassed,

he could be considered a veteran,

he had actually encountered a pickpocket,

and he had been succeeded by someone,

it was so embarrassing.

“Go and call the police,”Zhou Ze said.

“Sigh.”

The old priest nodded helplessly, put down his things and prepared to go out and call the police.

“I’ll call the police.”

At this time..,

otterson, who had been having a heated conversation with the middle school students, stood up and said.

“What’s missing is my phone. Why did you call the police?”The old priest asked in puzzlement.

Otterson thought for a moment and answered,

“I’ll call the police. It’ll be faster.”
