Midnight Bookstore Chapter 227 – Don't Pick Wild Flowers By The Roadside

Chapter 227: Chapter 225: Don't pick wild flowers by the roadside

Zhou Ze woke up,

this matter..,

didn't cause too much of a stir in the bookstore.

Xu Qinglang was still applying a facial ma.s.sage to his face.

The old priest was still broadcasting live, and monkey was filming for him.

The Deadman continued to sit in the corner of the bookstore. He would never get up unless something was dirty.

Even Bai Yingying was still eating chicken in her room. She waited until the game was over before putting down her headphones and going to Zhou Ze's bedroom.

The Boss is awake,

do what you have to do. The boss often sleeps anyway.

You Can't blame the employees in this shop for being too cold. If you were in a company where the boss often disappears for half a month and never wakes up, you would also become as undisciplined as them… degenerate.

With the help of Bai Yingying, Zhou Ze took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat in a familiar seat by the window on the ground floor.

The Sun was bright and beautiful, and it was the most pleasant. However, Zhou Ze seemed to feel that he had just “Woken up”not long ago.

This kind of sudden coma for half a month had to be less frequent. Otherwise, other people would live for a month while he would only live for two days. Their lifespans were obviously the same, but he always felt that he was losing out.

Most importantly, Zhou Ze did not dare to let that consciousness wake up again.

Under the warm sunlight, Zhou Ze thought for a moment.

The prerequisite for not letting that consciousness wake up again was that he could not fall into a very awkward and dangerous situation, a predicament that exceeded his current ability to solve and encounter.

And not letting him fall into a dangerous situation where he was helpless required him to know enough to seek benefits and avoid harm to avoid trouble.

And if he didn't want to attract too much trouble, the prerequisite was that he had to be calm enough to learn how to avoid trouble, so that trouble wouldn't find him.

So..,

he still had to be a salted fish,

salted fish was the way of the king,

he had to be more determined and carry out the salted fish,

he couldn't go out without seeing or smelling it,

he would bask in the sun every day and drink coffee comfortably. He was determined not to cause trouble and wouldn't let things cause trouble for him.

Previously, boss Zhou only felt that salted fish were very comfortable. It was his own choice,

now, salted fish had truly become a survival principle.

However, boss Zhou had just woken up. Just as Bai Yingying was helping Zhou Ze make coffee, something happened.

The person who entered was Zhang Yanfeng.

When he was bathing, Bai Yingying said that he had come every two days for the past three weeks. However, they used the excuse that the boss was on a business trip as an excuse to avoid him.

This time, Zhang Yanfeng saw Zhou Ze as soon as he entered the door and immediately walked over.

Zhou ze lowered his head and lay on his side on the sofa with his eyes closed. He didn't want to see him.

“Have You Seen the news? The excavation work there has ended and revealed the crimes committed by j.a.pan in China back then. The whole country is in an uproar.”As he spoke, Zhang Yanfeng's expression was a little awkward, “It's just that the j.a.panese people who died tragically in the research inst.i.tute's ruins made this propaganda statement a little awkward.”

“Do you have the bones of your relatives?”

“It's very difficult to find them. The amount of work required to do DNA identification one by one is too great, and the price is too high. Moreover, there's an incinerator there. Perhaps my relative has already been burned to ashes.”

“It's good that you can see past it.”

“On the day the excavation work ended, I found that there was no iron chain on my feet when I dreamed at night. It was as if a knot in my heart had been untied,”Zhang Yanfeng said with a smile.

“Congratulations.”

“By the way, where have you been recently? I've come to look for you many times. Your shop a.s.sistant said that you weren't here.”

“I went to borrow money.”.

“You know, it's really bad to open a bookstore on South Street. I have feelings for this bookstore, so I need to borrow money to maintain the operation and existence of this bookstore.”.

“Alas, but I didn't borrow much.”

“Um…”Zhang Yanfeng touched the back of his hand awkwardly and said, “It's a pity that I don't have much money. Otherwise, I would definitely lend it to you.”

At this moment, Bai Yingying brought Zhou Ze's coffee over and placed it on the table.

Zhang Yanfeng thought that it was a coffee prepared for him by the customer. After saying “Thank you,”he picked it up and drank it by himself.

The corner of Zhou Ze's mouth twitched,

his heart was bleeding.

“I'm going out to borrow some money. I can't afford to delay, so I won't entertain you.”

Zhou ze directly ordered him to leave.

“Um, I came to look for you because I have something to do.”

I know you have something to do, so I let you go!

Boss Zhou covered his temples with both hands and said in pain,

“My Head Hurts, my head hurts so much. Money, I can't borrow money. It's so hard, so sad, so difficult…”

“There's no rush for money.”

“…”Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze really wanted to point at the other party's nose and curse,

there's no rush for money?

I believe that you're a selfless and good police officer, but won't your conscience hurt when you speak like this?

“In the beginning, I came to look for you to dig up work matters. After that, it was because I thought of a case that had been stalled for a long time.

“You said before that I could come to you if I came across a very suspicious case, so i…”

“Did I say that?”Zhou ze asked immediately.

“You said that in the park that day.”

“That can't be true. Besides, you just caught me in the detention center. I was intimidated by your authority, so I made it up.”

“…”Zhang Yanfeng.

It seemed that it was difficult to continue the topic.

But Zhang Yanfeng quickly followed up. He put the file up and said, “This is the file of that case. I'll bring you the parts that you can read. If you want to see more details, you can come to my office to read it.”.

“To be honest, I didn't believe in many things in the past.

“I'm a party member. I believe in Ma Lie and I'm a staunch atheist.”

Zhou ze reached out and pushed the case file out. “That's right. You really shouldn't get too close to a fraud like me.”

“But Chairman Mao taught us to rely on the strength of unity!”Zhang Yanfeng said righteously. “So, I think you might be able to provide me with some opinions and conjectures on this case.”

“I'm not a police officer, but a bookseller. It's not appropriate for me to partic.i.p.ate in a case like yours, right?”

“I can give you the ident.i.ty of a police consultant.”

Police consultant?

The last police consultant was still blind.

Zhou ze subconsciously looked up at the ceiling. Tang s.h.i.+ said that she was going back soon and that the blind still needed her care.

“To tell you the truth, I don't want to do anything else right now.”Zhou ze sighed. “The incident at the Research Inst.i.tute made me pay a huge price.”

“How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll leave this file with you first. You can read it whenever you want. It's an old case anyway. I'll take my leave first. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“Bill…”

Zhou ze called out,

however, Zhang Yanfeng walked out of the bookstore as if he didn't hear him.

Meanwhile, the old Daoist who was sitting at the bar counter and broadcasting the scene pretended not to hear Zhou Ze's hint,

what a joke,

you want me to ask a police officer for money?

This poor Daoist is not that stupid!

Zhou Ze felt that his bookstore urgently needed a rectification movement to correct this evil trend of a dead man's status and the desire to enjoy himself without doing anything serious!

“You're awake. I'm leaving.”

Tang s.h.i.+ came down from upstairs, changed into a new set of clothes, and held the car keys in her hand.

“Goodbye.”

Zhou Ze waved at her.

She nodded and walked out of the bookstore.

“Boss, have some tea.”Bai Yingying brought a cup of tea.

“Where's The Coffee?”Zhou ze asked.

“The one I just brewed is the last one. I've already drunk all of that coffee,”Bai Yingying replied.

“You've drunk it all?”

Zhou ze bit his lip,

his heart..,

was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

“What should I do with this file?”Bai Yingying pointed at the file on the table and asked.

“Throw it somewhere I can't see it.”Zhou ze glanced at the file in disgust.

He would never open it to read it, nor did he want to know what kind of injustice it was, how cruel the murderer was, how pitiful the victim was, and how terrible the plot was.

He did not even want to read it. He just pretended that he did not know.

If he did not know, he would not feel guilty. If he did not feel guilty, he would not be in trouble. If he did not feel guilty, he would not be in trouble.

He picked up his tea and took a sip. Zhou Ze picked up his ghost identification card and looked at it. His GPA had not risen for a long time, and it had remained at a very low position.

He frowned,

zhou Ze felt that it was a sin for him not to do anything serious these days. Now it seemed that he had to think about where he could find ghosts to increase his GPA.

But to be honest, Tongcheng was only a big city. It was unrealistic for it to suddenly become full of ghosts.

“By the way, where is the resurrection Lily that I asked you to seal last time?”Zhou ze asked.

“Oh, that. Lin Ke came over Midway and took the resurrection Lily. She went to find a way to make a sealed liquid can. She kept a part of it and sent the rest back.”

Zhou ze nodded with some relief,

after waking up..,

he finally heard a piece of good news.

At this moment, Zhou Ze looked at Xu Qinglang and shouted:

“What are we eating tonight?”

Xu Qinglang took off the mask on his face and looked at Zhou ze as if he had seen a ghost. He did not know how much Zhou Ze desired to be able to “Feast”.

“Alright, I'm going out to buy groceries.”

Xu Qinglang looked helpless.

What a disappointing husband,

he stayed at home all day and was lazy, but he still had to pinch his nose and cook for him.

“Come out with me for a walk. You've been lying there for too long.”

“Okay, Boss.”

Bai Yingying helped Zhou Ze out of the bookstore,

as soon as they stepped out of the door, Zhou Ze saw a scavenger-looking old woman fumbling around in the window of his bookstore.

“Go and ask her what she's doing,”Zhou Ze said. From the looks of it, the old woman did not look like a beggar either. Although her clothes were tattered, her face and hair looked very clean and energetic.

Bai Yingying ran over to ask, and the old woman said something to Bai Yingying with gestures.

Zhou Ze held the telephone pole next to him and lit a cigarette. She came back after two puffs,

“Boss, ask her clearly. She said she was looking for something.”

“Looking for what?”

“Flowers.”
