Midnight Bookstore Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Ballroom

Zhang Yanfeng came here by car. He was in the car of the tall and thin policewoman. When he got out of the car, officer Zhang's legs were weak, and his eyes were bloodshot. His messy hair and shoulders were mixed with a lot of gra.s.s and wood shavings.

When he pushed the door open and came in, Zhang Yanfeng shouted for a cup of coffee and then yawned heavily.

“Those who don't know, think that you just came back from the field.”

Boss Zhou stirred the coffee in front of him with a small spoon

In the past, Zhou Ze thought that there was no difference between good coffee and Instant Nescafe. In his previous life, when he was a doctor, he was often so busy that wind blew under his feet. He also relied on coffee a lot to survive.

But he did not know whether it was because his mentality had changed or whether there was a big difference between good and bad coffee,

the taste of drinking coffee now was indeed different from before.

“Bullsh * t, don't slander my reputation.”

Zhang Yanfeng directly picked up the coffee that Zhou Ze had just stirred with sugar and drank it in one gulp,

then, he smacked his lips,

it was as if he had taken a big gulp of cold water,

it deeply explained..,

what it meant to be a cow chewing on a peony.

The small spoon in Zhou Ze's hand fell to the ground,

it trembled slightly.

This was his cat feces..

“Drinking this coffee is really boring. Aren't you tired of drinking this every day? I'm not willing to drink this every day.”

“I don't know if you're tired of drinking this every day, but you'll definitely be investigated because of financial problems.”

“F * ck.”

Zhang Yanfeng reached out and rubbed his hair,

“Do you think I'm unlucky? I didn't sleep the whole night, and I wandered around the forest the whole night. I don't even know how many times I fell, but I still couldn't find that grave.”

Zhou Ze was a little surprised and asked, “The grave of that dead person?”

“Yeah, they didn't find it.”

“They didn't tell the truth?”

“I brought them along to look for it, but they really didn't find it.”

“Tongcheng is such a big place. It's not like it's in the northeast or the old forests or old mountain valleys in Sichuan. It's true that they sealed the entrance to the tomb back then, but it shouldn't be impossible to find it. However, in reality, they really couldn't find it.”.

“The police dogs have been deployed, but they didn't find anything at all. They've already been arrested, so they should tell us what they need to tell us. There's no need to lie, right?”

Officer Zhang spread his hands,

he had worked for nothing all night.

Then, he remembered that Zhou Ze had called him to come. He immediately said,

“Why are you looking for me?”

“Blondie is dead.”

“OH.”Zhang Yanfeng's eyes widened and he berated, “You killed him?”

“…”Zhou Ze.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yanfeng calmed himself down and asked, “Where's the body?”

“I only know that he is dead.”

Yes,

the human soul came,

he had been sent to be reincarnated by Boss Zhou,

the last trace left by Goldie in this world was not his strong anti-matterism,

instead, it was the additional 4/1000 of boss Zhou's performance.

“Did you dispose of the body?”Zhang Yanfeng asked.

“I didn't see the body, but I can confirm that he is dead. If you still don't understand, I can give you a detailed introduction of my work.”

“Don't, Stop!”

Zhang Yanfeng immediately raised his hand and signaled boss Zhou to stop.

He still wanted to continue living a normal life. Even though he knew that Zhou Ze's ident.i.ty was not ordinary, he still refused to be directly impacted by the collapse of his worldview.

“Can you find where he died?”Zhang Yanfeng asked.

Zhou ze shook his head.

At this time, the old priest raised his hand silently and said timidly,

“Uh, I know.”

When he left, the old priest drove and the policewoman asked Zhang Yanfeng to send her back to rest.

Xu Qinglang's Nissan had almost become a public car in the bookstore. Usually, when old Xu was around, he loved this car very much. However, as he was unconscious, his beloved car was also being ruined by others.

Zhou ze and officer Zhang, who were sitting in the back seat, held a cigarette in their hands and puffed out smoke.

“Old Zhou, is this considered a supernatural incident?”?

“Those two suspects aren't lying. I can tell. Besides, when they didn't even find the grave, their shocked expressions weren't fake.”

“You've been a police officer for so many years, but you've never met one?”

“It's really rare. However, we can now be included in the supernatural incident as a secret file of the police station.”.

“It says..,

“On a certain day, a certain year, a police officer surnamed Zhang solved a case by relying on a mysterious boss who opened a bookstore

“Usually, this kind of plot is when your son discovers my existence when he comes to investigate the cause of your death after your accidental death,

“Then, he comes to me to inquire about the truth of his father's death,

“I'll give your son a piece of mindless information in the fog,

“This way, it'll be easier for the screenwriter to forget about the plot.”

“…”Zhang Yanfeng.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

The experienced driver chuckled in his heart. Other people would chat to death while the boss would chat to death.

Soon, the car arrived at its destination. It was in a town below, close to the elevated road. It was indeed a little far away from the city, but if they drove, they could actually reach it very quickly. After taking a turn on the elevated road around the city, they would be out.

“The White Swan Dance Hall.”

Zhou ze glanced out of the car window. The neon sign on the second floor flickered with light. In this small town in the countryside, it looked very grand.

Especially at midnight..,

there were many people below and above the dance hall.

“This is a sand dance hall,”the old priest explained.

“Sand dance?”Zhang Yanfeng could not understand.

“Oh, that's what they say in Sichuan. In the past, when I was working in Sichuan, I went there quite often. According to what they say here, it should be called face-to-face dance or touch dance.”

With an explanation..,

it was easy to understand.

The Old Priest was afraid that the other two wouldn't understand, he continued, “There's a song playing inside, and everyone has to dance. Everyone who goes in has to pay ten Yuan for a ticket, both male and female. Then, the male will pick the female, and she will dance with you according to the song. The fee is ten Yuan or twenty Yuan for a song.

“Chengdu is cheap, 10 yuan per song. Tongcheng belongs to the Jiangsu-zhejiang-shanghai parcel post area, and the prices are expensive. Here, it's 20 yuan per song.

“The men and women dance together in the dark, and the men can touch and scratch as if they were enjoying themselves. This money is not a waste. Many girls are here to work part-time, not to be prost.i.tutes.”

Boss Zhou and officer Zhang nodded as they listened like two students.

“This is borderline.”

Zhang Yanfeng sighed out of professional instinct.

Because after entering, he found that it was quite formal inside, with posters everywhere: “p.o.r.nography, gambling, and drugs are prohibited.”.

There were also a few uniformed security guards with red armbands on their arms to maintain order.

This kind of place was a ballroom, and it also had its own licensing procedures. Just like some KTV, it was considered a legitimate entertainment place, but whether there would be anything improper or borderline, everyone knew and understood.

The old priest paid the money and three tickets. After entering, the ballroom was divided into two sections. One section was very bright, and there was a normal dance below. It was a bit like the old people's ballroom dance at Sunset Red Square.

In the other section, the lights were very dim. A group of men and women were hugging each other and swaying inside.

Outside, there were many men who were taking a walk to find a partner. There were also rows of girls who were standing there waiting to be selected. There were all kinds of girls.

“It's a foul atmosphere.”

Zhang Yanfeng commented.

Then, he looked at the old priest and asked,

“You brought us here to see this?”

He was a police officer. If his acquaintances found out that he had come to this place, it would be very awkward. If a photo was taken, it could even be used as evidence to attack one's lifestyle.

“It's upstairs.”

With that, the old priest led the two of them to take a turn and went upstairs. At the stairway, there was an aunt sitting there eating melon seeds. When she saw the three men coming up, she was a little puzzled and reached out to stop them.

“What?”The aunt asked.

“Do it!”

The old Daoist replied.

As he spoke..,

the old Daoist even reached out and pointed at Zhang Yanfeng and his boss,

the aunt revealed a look of understanding and immediately waved her hand, indicating for them to go up.

There was nothing up there. It was a basically abandoned floor. However, you could see that there were condoms scattered everywhere on the ground. There was also a white sticky liquid with the smell of salted fish and seafood inside.

Not far away, there were a few couples busy over there.

“It's a foul atmosphere.”

Zhang Yanfeng continued.

“This place is not under the management of the ballroom downstairs. How can you manage people's Rooms?”The old priest replied.

Then, he pointed to the loudspeaker above. There was a lyrical music playing inside. The music was synchronized with the music in the ballroom downstairs.

Zhou Ze held the railing with his hand. The view was good here, and the floor was quite high. In front of them was the viaduct, and there was a lot of traffic on it.

“What are you looking for us for? !”

Zhang Yanfeng couldn't take it anymore. He was a police officer and it wouldn't matter if he came here when he was fighting p.o.r.nography and catching criminals. However, now that he sneaked in in plain clothes, he really felt uncomfortable all over.

“Wait. I've heard that song sung by the Blondie before here. Later on, I thought it was pretty good. I specially searched the lyrics on the internet and found that I didn't find this song. Later on, I asked the people here and said that this song was sung by their boss when he was drunk at a KTV. It was as bad as it could be. Later on, I used it on this song.”

After the introduction,

the old Taoist hurriedly shouted to the aunt who was looking at the stairs below, “Hey, big sister, I saw a police car coming over there!”

The aunt's eyes narrowed, not suspecting him at all. Moreover, she would rather kill a thousand people than let one go. She immediately took out her cell phone and dialed a number.

In less than half a minute,

the sound system above the heads of Zhou Ze, Zhang Yanfeng, and the old Taoist suddenly changed into a tune,

the tearing of the song,

it could be called the wailing of ghosts and howls of wolves,

it was really the masterpiece of a drunkard roaring into the microphone.

At this moment,

a few men and women immediately ran out in front of Zhou Ze. Everyone looked fl.u.s.tered as they tidied up their clothes and ran down at a very fast speed. One of the men did not buckle his belt properly and his pants fell off after running for a distance, he immediately tripped and fell.

As he listened to this unpleasant song,

he looked at the people who were running away in panic,

the old priest's gaze started to become more and more profound,

it was as if he was looking everywhere,

they were all him from more than twenty days ago..
