Whether you're in a good mood or not, there's one thing that doesn't s.h.i.+ft and change according to a person's will. Time.
A day pa.s.sed, and it was evening again. Zhou Ze sat on the sofa playing with a fountain pen. There was still no news from the loli.
Zhou Ze did not think that she was being perfunctory. After all, her life was in his hands. This was the first time he had asked her to do something. If she dared to pretend to do something perfunctory and return to sleep to recuperate, he could only send her to win.
Actually, the ashes from his previous life were not that important. If someone suggested that Zhou Ze scatter his ashes in the sea or in the river, he might do the same.
Letting the past go with the wind, letting the past return to dust, Zhou Ze was not like the protagonist in the romance drama who valued something more than his own life.
However, the problem was that he could throw away something that was deeply related to him, but if someone dared to steal it, that would not do.
This was no longer a matter of loss, but a direct offense.
That priest. That j.a.panese priest. Zhou Ze hoped to find him in the next moment and personally pierce him with his nails.
Didn't he want ashes?
Then after he killed him, he would turn him into ashes and find some dog s.h.i.+t to mix with him.
The little loli was definitely still looking for him. Furthermore, Zhou Ze knew that as an experienced old ghost, the little loli's foundation in Tong City was definitely much deeper than his.
Therefore, even if he was unwilling, the only thing Zhou Ze could do now was to eat, sleep, and maintain his energy while waiting.
The old Daoist priest could tell that Zhou Ze was not in a good mood today.
Most people would not be able to enjoy the anger of having their ashes stolen.
But the boss enjoyed it.
At that moment, the old Daoist priest brought over a cup of coffee. He felt that he should say something to ease the boss's depression and immediately said,
“Boss, that j.a.panese person will definitely be found soon. Normally, in Chinese films and novels, the j.a.panese are the standard high-risk creatures that have not lived long.”
Zhou Ze did not look at the old Daoist priest. Instead, he took a sip of coffee.
He did not want to chat with the old Daoist priest when he was in a bad mood because he was afraid that he would have the urge to poke the old Daoist priest to death. Perhaps his previous boss had the same urge before?
At that moment, Tang s.h.i.+ came downstairs. She was wearing a black dress today.
This was a very cold woman, and she always pursued high standards and exquisite clothing. This seemed to be her obsessive-compulsive disorder. Zhou Ze remembered that when she had just woken up, she had asked the old priest to buy new clothes to change into.
“Have some tea.”
Tang s.h.i.+ said coldly.
“I won't go.” Zhou Ze was really not in the mood.
Tang s.h.i.+ looked at Zhou Ze.
He stood there without moving.
She did not know how to act coquettishly, nor did she know how to beg. She had always been cold and distant, and because of that, when she looked at you, you would feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Zhou Ze was a soft-hearted and kind person.
He could not stand others being wronged and unhappy. He always put himself in others' shoes.
Of course, the pen that he had been playing with earlier had already started to tremble slightly, and it looked like it was about to pierce through his chest.
Yeah.
He stood up.
“Go, have some tea,” Zhou Ze said.
Retracting her gaze, Tang s.h.i.+ pushed the door open and walked out.
“Boss, it's a little cold tonight. Bring more clothes,” the old Daoist priest said politely.
Zhou Ze waved his hand to indicate that he did not need it.
Then…
Zhou Ze also pushed open the door.
Then…
There was no 'then'.
Because Tang s.h.i.+ was standing by the telephone pole at the door, she did not move. It did not seem like she was waiting for a car. Zhou Ze could only stand at the side, not knowing what she meant.
Half an hour later.
Tang s.h.i.+ still stood there without moving. Even her expression did not change. Zhou Ze squatted down and took out a cigarette.
An hour later.
Tang s.h.i.+ still did not move while Zhou Ze simply sat on the curb of the road. The ground was already littered with cigarette b.u.t.ts.
He looked at the bookstore door that was less than two meters away from him.
Zhou Ze really wanted to give this girl a hammer and ask her what was on her mind.
You've been standing less than two meters away from the door for so long, so why can't you just wait inside the bookstore?
Inside the shop, the old Daoist priest, Bai Yingying, and Xu Qinglang pa.s.sed by from time to time. When they saw that the boss was still sitting outside, they looked again and saw that he was still sitting outside.
Zhou Ze raised his head slightly before lowering it again.
Suddenly, he had the feeling that life was very difficult.
Finally, a white Rong Wei drove over and stopped before the bookstore.
Is it here?
Someone to drink tea with?
Because Zhou Ze saw Tang s.h.i.+ move, and she walked forward.
Zhou Ze stood up as well. Seeing the car door open, he wondered if he should organize the employees who were watching him make a fool of himself. They were all wearing bikinis and holding colored b.a.l.l.s to their thighs.
“Welcome, welcome, welcome…”
However, other than Yingying, the other two… No, other than the old Daoist, the other two looked pretty good in this outfit.
However, Zhou Ze was stunned. There was only one person sitting in the car, and it was the driver. However, when the driver got out of the car, he gave off the feeling that he was overindulging.
With the heavy dark circles under his eyes, coupled with his excited state, it was easy to think that he was driving on drugs.
“Hahahahaha…”
Once the driver got out of the car, he held his stomach and laughed.
She laughed out loud.
Zhou Ze approached him and lowered his head to look at him.
“Hahahahaha… Where is this place?” the driver asked as he laughed.
“Tong City,” Zhou Ze replied.
The other party said “Chuan Pu”.
He should be a friend from Sichuan.
“Hahahahaha… I've never heard of Tong City.”
“It's from Jiangsu,” Zhou Ze reminded.
“Hahahahaha… I drove out to buy condoms. Why did I drive all the way to Jiangsu?”
Who should I ask?
Zhou Ze wondered if there was something wrong with the driver's brain.
Fine.
Previously, Zhou Ze had guessed that the person Tang s.h.i.+ was looking for was that person.
But if that person was like this,
Zhou Ze also wanted to join in the laughter.
“Hahahahaha, I'm so tired. I'm so tired.” The driver continued to laugh.
“Hahahaha, can you f.u.c.king stop laughing?”
“Hahahaha, that can't be. I don't know why I'm so happy!”
“Hahahaha, are you crazy?” Zhou Ze said.
“Hahahaha, yes, yes. I drove more than 2,000 kilometers from Chengdu to Tongcheng without any rest. I really seem to be crazy.”
“Hahahaha, what are you here for?”
“Hahahaha, there's someone in my trunk. I think he's my biological father or mother, so I happily sent him over!”
“Hahahaha… Hmm?”
Zhou Ze stopped smiling and looked at the trunk.
Then, he saw Tang s.h.i.+ raise her hand.
The entire car shook.
Creak. Creak.
Without pressing the lock, the trunk popped open.
Although this white Rongwei car had been worn out after a long journey of over 2,000 kilometers, it was still too much for Tang s.h.i.+, who could not even wait to open the door.
Someone was lying in the trunk.
Oh no.
More specifically,
It was a human and a cat.
There was a bandage around the man's eyes, and there was blood on the bandage. Beside the man was a motionless cat.
The man and cat looked like they were dead. Only the slight rise and fall of their chest told the people beside them that they were still breathing.
Tang s.h.i.+ bent down and picked up the cat before looking into the room.
“Old Daoist.”
“Yes, why?”
The old Daoist priest jogged over and took a look at the trunk. He was shocked and immediately came over to carry the person whose eyes were bandaged.
“Boss, how did you become like this? You're so miserable!”
Zhou Ze knew that he was not the one crying.
However, standing there and listening to these cries made him feel uncomfortable.
The man and cat were carried into the bookstore by Tang s.h.i.+ and the old Daoist priest. The shop owner was still holding onto the door as he continued, “Hahahaha…”
Zhou Ze finally understood. This driver was really unlucky. He had been hypnotized.
When he went out to buy condoms, he estimated that there would be a woman in the hotel. In the end, he drove straight from Chengdu to Tongcheng.
But how did he undo the hypnosis?
Fortunately, after the person in the car was carried in, the driver seemed to have returned to normal. He fainted and fell asleep.
In the end, the driver was sent to a nearby hotel by Xu Qinglang. As for whether the hotel owner would misunderstand, Zhou Ze did not know.
He went up to the second floor and entered Tang s.h.i.+'s bedroom. The man was lying there motionlessly.
Honestly speaking, Zhou Ze was quite grateful to him. If he hadn't killed so many people in Chengdu, his relations.h.i.+p with the little loli wouldn't have become so harmonious.
Perhaps he was currently being hunted down by the little loli or had already been killed.
“Can he wake up?”
Zhou Ze asked.
Tang s.h.i.+ did not reply and personally wiped his face with a wet towel.
Carefully and obediently.
Why didn't I receive this treatment when I was injured?
Everyone was reincarnated from a corpse. My Xu Le is much more handsome than this guy, alright?
“I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask, if he stays here, will he attract the attention of the other officers, and another group of people will come to surround him?
Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to chase him away. I just wanted to ask so that I could make some preparations.
“After all, you don't have a ghost identification, so your ident.i.ties can't be cleared for now.”
Tang s.h.i.+ looked at Zhou Ze and said, “Ghost identification?”
Do you really not know?
Zhou Ze took out his badges and waved them in front of Tang s.h.i.+.
“This is the thing. With it, I can clear my name. As long as I don't go overboard, I'll be safe for a long time. However, this thing is hard to get, and I need luck to get it.”
At this moment…
The unconscious man shuddered.
In his jacket pocket.
Something seemed to fall.
She fell from the bed onto the floor.
It landed on the ground.
It was all over the place.
Ghost certificate.
