Chapter 136: Tomato Bookstore
Su Qingxing hopes that the people in the mirror can tell him how to leave the library, but he is not sure whether the people in the mirror who need to point fingers to convey information have the ability to solve the problems around the library mist.
But after Su Qingxing made his decision, after the person in the mirror disappeared, the real teacher Bai outside the mirror appeared outside the library. The library that had become quiet and deserted At this moment, a harsh electric drill sound suddenly sounded.
The stairs of the library where Su Qingxing and the others are located and the first floor of the library as far as they can see are still empty, but there is a floor-to-ceiling window at the corner of the stairs. The sky outside the window has become brighter, and there is even a The construction worker standing on the decoration bracket looked at Su Qingxing blankly.
Bai Hua had already rushed down the stairs and ran towards Teacher Bai who walked in from the door. And Su Qingxing and Pizza, who were still standing on the stairs, could see the entrance of the library at a glance. There was a small door just opened, and the outside was surrounded by some wooden boards. The sound of the electric drill came from there...
This is exactly what it looks like being renovated. "How did you get in here?" The teacher Bai obviously didn't believe that Su Qingxing and the others had really encountered a supernatural incident. They just thought that a few children had sneaked into a place where no one was paying attention to skip class. "It's so hot here, thank you for staying here for so long!" Teacher Bai looked at Pisa and Su Qingxing with a pleasant expression, but when he looked at his younger brother, his brows were furrowed, and his tone became darker. , "The teachers who teach you are basically in the same office as me. Even if you want to sneak, please find a better excuse in advance."
Hot?
After Mr. Bai mentioned this word, everyone noticed that the library, which was originally chilly because of the air conditioner, was really stuffy and hot at the moment. Started to faint because of sweating, making the makeup more and more non-mainstream. "Brother!" Bai Hua didn't even bother to study the other party's mood at the moment, looked around in a panic and said, "We may have met a ghost just now!" " What nonsense are you talking about? What?!" Teacher Bai tapped heavily on his brother's forehead, "The class is not over yet, go back to class with Su Qingxing!" "But...but I think it is necessary to take Su Qingxing to the hospital first, or to find Let's take a look at a Taoist temple!" Bai Hua lowered his voice, "I seemed to have seen him being covered by a ghost just now, and he kept talking to himself in front of the mirror!" "Mirror?" Bai Hua's words aroused Teacher Bai. His attention, the look in Su Qingxing's eyes became a little strange for a moment. "It's so strange..." Pizza and Su Qing walked downstairs, then stopped when they saw Teacher Bai, and asked, "Have I seen you somewhere?" ?" "Are you a student of our school?" Mr. Bai obviously didn't like Pizza's non-mainstream kill-mat style, so after looking up and down, he raised doubts, "Students from other schools are prohibited from attending class. Time is in, don't you know?" "I'm not a student from another school!" Pizza spread his hands, "I'm no longer a student, so I can come in and out at any time, right?" "Maybe I can help with the security." When he saw Pizza's innocent smile, Teacher Bai also smiled, "Please don't disturb the students in class." "Sorry, Teacher Bai, I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you go home and rest first?" Su Qingxing didn't know how to express his current mood, but felt that his shaky three views seemed to have completely collapsed at this moment, and there were still many messy images in his mind, and he needed enough time. to sort and summarize.
So under such circumstances, Su Qingxing really didn't want to continue sitting in the classroom. "Since the body is already unwell, then Su Qingxing should go home and rest now. I will help with the sick leave." Facing Su Qingxing, the smiling teacher Bai did use it. A gentler way.
Because when he heard his younger brother Bai Hua say that he was not feeling well, Teacher Bai stopped his smile in the next second and said to Bai Hua with a straight face: "Go back to class for me, don't always be in front of me Nonsense! If the semester credits are not full, I will let your parents confiscate your right to use your laptop starting next semester." "It's too partial!"
This time, even Pisa, who was standing aside, agreed after hearing what Bai Hua complained about. "Excuse me, Teacher Bai." Although Su Qingxing was also a little puzzled, why this teacher Bai, who he didn't even remember his name, was so kind to him, but since the other party offered to help, Su Qingxing naturally had to express himself Thanks.
One thing to say, Su Qingxing doesn't think this teacher Bai is really bad to his younger brother. After all, the way he treats strangers and his younger brother can't be the same, so Teacher Bai treats Bai Hua this way The serious attitude was also expected by Su Qingxing. "By the way, the black rice cake can't help but be put away. Even if it is in the refrigerator, it must be eaten as soon as possible, so please be sure to taste it." Teacher Bai pointed to the bag in Su Qingxing's hand. Only then did he prepare to **** his brother back to the classroom with a smile.
As for Teacher Bai's previous urging... Whether it was the black rice cake that he couldn't help putting away, or whether he was urging himself to eat the black rice cake quickly, Su Qingxing didn't know.
Just thinking of the person in the mirror's warning, Su Qingxing grabbed the bag containing the black rice cakes, knowing that the best way to deal with these black rice cakes... The more completely the black rice cake is eliminated, the better!
For example, a fire or something.
After taking leave, Su Qingxing planned to make good use of the rest of her free time, go home and rest for a long time, taste the lunch her mother made by herself, and finally take a solid sleep.
Maybe when he wakes up, Su Qingxing will find that everything he has experienced before is just a ridiculous dream. In fact, everyone around him is ordinary, and the library is well open. There are no other strange figures. "See you tomorrow, Teacher Bai." Seeing Bai Hua being taken away by his brother, Su Qingxing, who put the black rice cake in his schoolbag, said goodbye to Teacher Bai. "You can just call me Bai Chu in private, see you tomorrow." Bai Chu said, with the same perfect smile as before, he didn't look like a bad person. "Be careful with that teacher." Pizza, who had been following Su Qingxing, suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The teacher looked at Siswenwen, and always had a smile on his face, but he seemed to be talking to Su Qingxing all the time. You may have some weird intentions." "Thank you." Although Su Qingxing didn't like this non-mainstream killing Matt, but because of the clues given by the person in the mirror, at this moment, I feel that the other party What he said makes sense. "What do you mean what happened just now?" Pizza still couldn't figure it out, "Did we go to hell? What did you do to the mirror?" "I don't know." Su Qingxing shook his head, he didn't know how to explain it himself.
Maybe because the library has returned to normal, and the thick fog outside the library is no longer there, although Su Qingxing is still walking through the tree-lined path, there is no fog in the woods on both sides. It seems that only the words "ordinary" can be used to describe it.
On the way home, Su Qingxing was alone, so after walking on the sidewalk outside the school, he took out his mobile phone to see if he had missed any messages when there was no signal, and then noticed a message The news shared by my mother seemed to have been overlooked by me before.
Perhaps because the case mentioned in the news has never had any clues, so the report did not mention some substantive information, but said that several people disappeared in the neighborhood near Su Qingxing. There were no signs of these people disappearing, no suspects were found, and even those who disappeared didn't have many of the same characteristics.
Accurately speaking, the only thing these people have in common is that they have appeared around here, and there is no other person around when they appear.
And in the blink of an eye, these people evaporated from the world. "Su Qing!"
When Su Qing walked to the door of the house, the door of a nearby shop suddenly opened, and a man with a cigarette and a beard came out casually and waved to Su Qingxing.
Su Qingxing glanced at the sign of the store subconsciously, and it actually said "Tomato Bookstore" in big characters.
As a bookstore name, these four words seem to be too lively.
There is also a laughing cartoon tomato on the signboard. "School is so early today? Tong Yan happens to be here too, everyone can communicate in advance." The boss smoking there shouted to Su Qingxing from afar.
Tong Yan? bookstore?
Su Qingxing pondered for a while and guessed that this bookstore might be the one where Bai Hua said he worked hourly every night, and this man smoking a cigarette and beard and scum was probably the one who called Su Qingxing before the "boss". "Boss." Su Qing walked over and shouted, even if he recognized the wrong person, such a title would not make people feel embarrassed. "Last night you said you found a very important clue to the disappearance case, and you sent an inexplicable text message to Tong Yan. What happened?" The bookstore owner's words also confirmed Su Qingxing's guess, and he used another The way is to tell Su Qingxing...
This bookstore really seems to be a part-time detective agency! "Boss, are you a bookstore owner or a professional detective?" Su Qingxing smiled, trying his best to make this sentence sound like a joke, and trying to make a formula from the boss's mouth.
The moment he saw the boss, Su Qingxing felt that this person was very familiar, so he believed that they were indeed acquaintances. Especially after listening to what the boss said just now, Su Qingxing felt like a temporary subordinate who ran errands for the detective. "When there are some things in this world that ordinary people can't solve, you need some people to come forward, right? And no one is more qualified to investigate this matter than me." The boss waved to Su Qingxing again. , the expression on his face was a bit bitter, "Tong Yan and Qiao Lu are both inside, they found something."
Su Qingxing glanced at the cartoon tomato printed on the glass door of the bookstore, thought about it, and walked in directly.
The bookstore has a comfortable air conditioner, but there are no customers, only two young people who look slightly older than Su Qingxing are sitting at the rest table, with a tablet on the table The computer, which appears to have a few different photos scrolling through. "Qingxing, I remember you're Guizhu's student, right?" The outgoing young man didn't seem surprised by Su Qingxing's appearance, he just said, "We're trying to put the five The places where the missing persons disappeared were connected on the map, and it was found that these points overlapped the route leading to Guizhu, so I searched the places that no one else had investigated along this road, and I found The high-heeled shoes dropped by one of the missing persons." "It may lead to the vicinity of Guizhu." Su Qingxing generally does not associate the school with the disappearance case.
What good would taking those people do for the school?
Want to go to class?
And, why is it so certain that the high heels found belong to the missing? "Then what happened to the text message you sent me yesterday?" The young man got up and brought the phone screen to Su Qingxing.
Judging from the name in the remarks of the mobile phone number, this is indeed a text message sent by Su Qingxing himself. The time was around ten o'clock last night, and the text message was only two words, not even a punctuation.上— "Bai Chu" "I investigated the name 'Bai Chu', is it a teacher of Guizhu?" The young man looked confused, "You sent this message to me, isn't it because of you? Also found out that Guizhu is related to this disappearance case?" "I think, maybe we can wait for the results of the police investigation." Su Qingxing's head instantly became more painful. "I can wait, but Mu Rong can't wait." The bookstore owner threw the cigarette on the ground, and after running it a few times with the heel of his shoe, he remembered something, and obediently picked up the cigarette **** and threw it into the trash. "Mu Rong has been missing for so long, but my husband can't do anything, so I can only entrust you hourly workers to help."
Su Qingxing suddenly realized.
No wonder the bookstore owner said he was qualified to investigate this matter. If Su Qingxing guessed correctly, the owner's wife, Mu Rong, may also be one of the missing persons in this case. "Boss, stop smoking. If the lady boss sees it, maybe she will toss you with her heels." The young man who was still sitting there looked very introverted, even if everyone stood up, he would Still looking down at the photos on the tablet.
Su Qingxing glanced at the introverted young man again, and found that he was not sitting on a chair, but a light wheelchair, obviously a little inconvenient. "If possible, I'd rather be tossed about by her." The bookstore owner smiled wryly, "So the only clue we can guess now is Guizhu, right? Then we have to go there no matter what." "Let's go now?" The tall young man looked eager to try. "No." The boss glanced at Su Qingxing next to him, "We will start after dinner, we must make some preparations in advance, Su Qingxing, why don't you rush home for dinner? You take a rest and we will discuss it before it's too late. " " Hmm." Although he didn't know why the boss chose the night, Su Qingxing nodded.
What Su Qingxing didn't know was that as soon as he left the bookstore on his forefoot, the bookstore owner had already started to organize his tools and backpack, and his movements seemed very fast. "Didn't you say wait until night?" Seeing the boss packing his backpack, the two people next to him looked puzzled. "At night, I can't wait for a minute." The bookstore owner lit another cigarette, "The kid is a promising college student, and you are still young, so this matter does not need your help. After all, No one knows what to expect.” ”…”
Su Qingxing didn't know that the bookstore had started to move, he just walked up the visually unfamiliar stairs subconsciously... He even felt a little confused for a while, and didn't really remember what his home was. on which floor.
Fortunately, when he reached the fourth floor, Su Qingxing saw the door of a family opened, and his mother Su Ye, who was holding vegetables, was looking at him with a smile. "Baby Qingxing, ready to wash your hands and eat!"
