Mystery Collection 2
Chapter 30
Gu Tingxi originally thought that Bai Wangcheng was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that a courier actually delivered a box of slippers the next day.
Gu Tingxi looked at the slippers all over the place in annoyance. Now the warehouse and the basement are full of books, this box of slippers is too cumbersome.Whether Bai Wangcheng's brain is not working properly, he can't even tell a joke.
Bai Wangcheng happened to go downstairs, saw the slippers in the box, and said with a smile, "It's here so soon."
"Why do you buy so many slippers? I was just talking yesterday." Gu Tingxi held his breath, picked up the cup and gurgled down a cup into his stomach.
Bai Wangcheng approached him, and said in a low voice: "You were pitiful like a baby last night. I'm afraid that if I didn't buy it for you, what would you do if you cried the next day?"
Gu Tingxi pulled up the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "Go away."
Bai Wangcheng coughed lightly, and asked casually, "What happened yesterday? After going out for a while, I came back with an unhappy expression on my face. Did something happen?"
Speaking of this, Gu Tingxi had another headache. He thought about it all night yesterday, and the person who picked up Boss Mao went in time. As soon as they met, Boss Mao disappeared.
Who will pick him up?Is Xu Jianyang still a little mute?
Xu Jianyang has this ability, but Gu Tingxi doesn't think it will be him. They grew up together, and he knows Xu Jianyang's personality too well.
As for the little mute, his life experience is very clear, and his personality is pure and shy, so it is unlikely that he will have anything to do with Han Yu.
Just when he was perplexed, the little mute came in with a bouquet of flowers. He greeted Gu Tingxi with a smile, and then began to tend the flowers as usual.
Gu Tingxi watched him walk back and forth in the bookstore, carefully checking the status of each pot of flowers and plants.
After everything was done, the little mute did not leave immediately, but went to Gu Tingxi to chat with him as usual.
"Little dumb, do you have time on the weekend?"
The little mute blinked and nodded.
"I'm going to hold an event on Saturday afternoon. Registered members will give away books. Are you free to help?"
The little mute made an OK gesture, then took out a handful of chocolates from his pocket and put them on the table, peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up one and put it in Gu Tingxi's hand.
While peeling the chocolate, Gu Tingxi asked him, "Have you talked better recently?"
"A little bit." The little mute can now speak a few simple words, but his voice is ugly, a bit like suffering from laryngitis, and his voice is rough and muffled, so he seldom talks to outsiders.
He lowered his head and carefully folded the candy wrappers into small, square tofu cubes. After stacking, he laughed first, and shyly threw the candy wrappers into the trash can.
Gu Tingxi has been staring at him, the little mute is not the kind of good-looking type, but he is so obedient and always makes people like him, Gu Tingxi does not want to doubt him, but now Han Chen has not come back, he Not to be taken lightly, any clue could be the deciding factor.
Gu Tingxi smiled slightly, and put the chocolate into his mouth, "Then we'll see you this Saturday."
Early on Saturday morning, in addition to the little mute and his henchmen, there was also an unexpected guest.
When Gu Tingxi saw his aunt and his fat grandson, he scratched his head in annoyance.
My aunt wandered around the bookstore and praised without hesitation: "Your bookstore is quite big, how is the business? Why don't you see your boyfriend, man, call me out and I'll take a look for you. Let me tell you, I have experience in this area, and I can tell if a person is good or not."
Gu Tingxi was very convinced by her thick skin, and quickly sent her away: "You are not here, you can sit down casually, take a few books back and read."
Aunt Biao was not polite either, she turned around and started sweeping up.
The little girl looked dumbfounded: "This book is not worth much, what is she doing with so many books? How can I get them back later?"
Gu Tingxi was so ashamed, she said to the younger sister: "Leave her alone, you can go to your own business."
The bookstore held a free book delivery event for registered members today, the big head moved two tables outside, Xu Jianyang and the little mute were in charge of registration, and the other was in charge of delivering books, sitting side by side and cooperating seamlessly.
Gu Tingxi stood behind the two of them and looked at them silently. Seeing that everyone was busy, the big head quietly walked to Gu Tingxi's side and whispered in his ear: "Young master, what you asked me to do It's all ready to start."
Gu Tingxi whispered: "Go and help the little mute, I have something to tell him."
"clear."
Gu Tingxi walked up to the little mute, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let Datou stand for you for a while, take a rest, and come in with me to eat something."
Xu Jianyang hurriedly dealt with the groups of female college students in front of him. Hearing this, he hurriedly yelled: "Gu Tingxi, I have to take a break too!"
Gu Tingxi nodded: "Okay, you rest, let the little mute continue to work hard."
Xu Jianyang shut his mouth, and soon he was surrounded by the little girls in front of him.
The little mute covered his mouth and laughed, and followed Gu Tingxi into the door with a smile.
Gu Tingxi was planning to take the little mute upstairs, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw the little sister and his aunt and cousin quarreling. The two seemed to be grabbing something, their faces were flushed, and they almost got into a scuffle.
Gu Tingxi gritted his teeth with hatred: "What's wrong with you?"
The little girl was so wronged that her eyes were red: "The store manager, they steal things."
"What is stealing? You didn't close the cabinet tightly, and it fell out by itself!" The aunt sneered coldly and disdainfully, "It's just such a worthless thing, who can't afford it, why should my grandson take it home to play with?" gone?"
Gu Tingxi took a closer look and found that the two were grabbing his little wooden horse. His heart beat fast for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He ran up quickly, pushed his aunt and cousin away, and snatched back his little wooden horse. His eyes were bloodshot and red, and he stared at his aunt and cousin.
My aunt got goosebumps from being stared at by him, looked at him frightened, and said, "Isn't it just a broken toy? Are you serious?"
He keeps this little wooden horse in the cabinet behind the cashier all the time. He usually takes it out and shakes it a few times when he is around. The little girl knows that his baby is so precious that she dare not even touch it at ordinary times, let alone it is impossible to get it out of the cabinet. If it falls out, even if it falls out, it is impossible to see it without going behind the cash register.
Gu Tingxi panted desperately, trying to suppress his anger, but his eyes became more and more fierce, like an eagle ready to go, his whole body was full of aggression.
Bai Wangcheng came back from school and saw this scene as soon as he entered the door. He sneered and said, "What's the fuss about something you can do? You've convinced me. Next time she sees you, she'll walk around."
Gu Tingxi didn't want to talk nonsense with his aunt again, he hugged his little wooden horse and rolled his eyes, and said coldly, "Get lost."
The little fat man wrinkled his face and burst into tears: "I want a little wooden horse, my little wooden horse, grandma give it to me!"
My aunt looked at Gu Tingxi in a daze. After a while, she came back to her senses, and said aggressively, "What's your attitude? It's because of your temper that your father doesn't like you! You won't leave a dime to the inheritance. You! No wonder your brother kicked you out of the house, you deserve it! Let’s go home, my dear grandson, in the future, let’s stop thinking about any relatives, and never visit your little uncle again.”
Bai Wangcheng sneered: "Walk slowly."
Gu Tingxi pursed his lips, and walked upstairs with his little wooden horse in his arms.
The little mute looked at him worriedly, and immediately followed Gu Tingxi as soon as he moved.
Gu Tingxi went back to the room, wiped the dust off the floating surface of the wooden horse with a paper towel, then carefully placed it on the sofa, and said to himself, "Brother Chen made this for me with his own hands. There are not too many memories, and everything is important to me."
The little mute squeezed his Adam's apple, and said in a hoarse voice: "He will come back."
"As long as he can come back, I can pay any price." Gu Tingxi slightly bent his mouth, "By the way, little mute, I need your help with something."
The little mute nodded immediately.
After Gu Tingxi locked the door, he lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that brother Chen's disappearance is related to my mother's car accident that year."
The little mute looked at him ignorantly.
"Let me just say it directly. I entrusted a private detective to investigate Brother Chen's whereabouts, and I also asked him to investigate my mother's disappearance. Now the results have been obtained, but the information is still in the hands of that detective. I can't get it right now."
The little mute blinked and wrote, "Why?"
"I can't let my brother know about this matter. If I meet with that detective, the boss will definitely tell him immediately, so I want you to meet that detective for me. After you go, you don't have to say anything. I will call the detective and ask him to give you the information bag, and you will give it to me when there is no one."
The little mute scratched his head, frowning stupidly.
Gu Tingxi sighed and said: "Only you can help me. I don't worry about the others, and Xu Jianyang, you must not tell him about this matter. It will be bad if he leaks his words and spreads to my elder brother's ears." He paused and said, "You know my elder brother doesn't like Brother Chen, he doesn't want Brother Chen to come back at all."
Filled with righteous indignation, the little mute wrote on the note: "How can this be possible! I'll get it for you, don't worry!"
Seeing his angry expression, Gu Tingxi felt more and more sorry in his heart, but at the same time, he became more and more confused. It was the first time to inform and pick up Boss Mao.
After the two plotted everything upstairs, they pretended that nothing happened, and went downstairs to help.
Bai Wangcheng watched the crowd get busy, but he himself was flustered. When he saw Gu Tingxi coming downstairs, he couldn't help laughing at him and said, "You're really a kid. You almost dropped the golden peas just now, but after a while, you're fine again."
Gu Tingxi glared at him displeased: "Don't talk nonsense, I was a little angry just now, but I didn't cry."
"Really?" Bai Wangcheng approached him, raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile and said, "Don't you cry when you encounter sad things?"
Gu Tingxi was silent for a while, before saying: "I want to save my tears until brother Chen returns home."
Bai Wangcheng's smile suddenly disappeared from his face, he looked at Gu Tingxi indifferently, gritted his teeth and said, "You are not worthy of him."
Gu Tingxi originally planned to get along well with him, but now it seems that he has really tried his best. He and Bai Wangcheng are not the same kind, and it is difficult to become friends.
The two stared at each other in silence, the atmosphere was tense, at this moment Gu Tingxi's cell phone rang, he took out the phone and looked, he was shocked, it was an unknown number!
He quickly pressed the call button, and asked in a cannonball voice: "Who are you? Where is Brother Chen? What exactly do you want?"
"I'm across the road, come to me if you want to see me."
Gu Tingxi was slightly taken aback, this voice was not the same as the one he heard before, the other party seemed to use a voice changer, and there was a buzzing voice on the other end of the phone.
He quickly ran out with his mobile phone. There were several couples passing by on the opposite side of the road. They went in and out of various shops in a natural state, and no one was on the phone.
"Where are you? Come out!"
There was no answer from the other party, only a slight gasp was heard.
Bai Wangcheng stood by the side of the road, looking at Gu Tingxi, who was like a headless fly, with an eerie smile slowly forming on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Tingxi clutched his phone nervously, cold sweat broke out on his back, he stood in the middle of the road and looked around, but he couldn't see the shadow of the mysterious person.
The moment he turned around to look back, a car stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards him quickly!
The author has something to say: I am late today, everyone, happy new year, I hope everyone can be healthy in the new year, all wishes come true, and be happy every day~
Gu Tingxi looked at the slippers all over the place in annoyance. Now the warehouse and the basement are full of books, this box of slippers is too cumbersome.Whether Bai Wangcheng's brain is not working properly, he can't even tell a joke.
