Detective Files II

Chapter 357
When I drove to the clothing store owned by Sun Linna, because the public security bureau's working hours met the store's opening time, General Tie was still guarding the door—the shutter door was locked.

"Shouldn't Sun Linna's store have been closed since Sun Linna was killed? In that case, we can only learn about the situation indirectly from the surrounding merchants, and the effect may be much worse." Tian Mi stood outside the shutter door, unable to bear it. Live a little worried.

Lu Xiangdong was more optimistic than her. He leaned over to look at the lower edge of the rolling door, and touched it with his hand: "Probably not. It has been three days since the accident. If no one came to open the store after Sun Lina's death, the door of the rolling door There is no way there is only such a thin piece of floating soil on the ground."

Tian Mi felt that his analysis was correct, and no matter what the real situation was, since he came, there was no better way than to wait patiently.So she simply sat on the steps in front of the clothing store, and Lu Xiangdong also sat beside her.

The commercial street is not very lively in the early morning. On this ordinary working day, most of the citizens are busy with work. Except for shopkeepers or employees who come to open shops, there are not many pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, some people pass by them. Nine out of ten will look at it with curious eyes.

"If you weren't here, they would probably think that I'm just a clerk who came to open the store and forgot to bring the key." Tian Mi joked casually.

Lu Xiangdong smiled faintly: "It fits your personality very well."

After speaking, both of them fell silent again.

This silence lasted for about 10 minutes, and Tian Mi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Are you angry about what happened last night?" She secretly observed Lu Xiangdong more than once this morning, and found that there were obvious shadows under his eyes, and he looked like he didn't have a good rest. With his own mother's double attack, his life must be difficult.

"Why are you angry?" Lu Xiangdong asked back.

For Tian Mi, it is not difficult to answer this question, but she would feel a little embarrassed when she said it: "Because my mother knew about the two of us yesterday, and she found someone to go home and eat some 'cooky meals'."

At the mention of this, Tian Mi couldn't help snorting again.

Lu Xiangdong looked at her, "When I think about you having a mother who desperately wants to ensure your future happiness, I have nothing to be angry about."

Under the circumstances, Tian Mi naturally knew the sadness hidden in his words, but Jiayi revealed that matter to her in private, and Lu Xiangdong deliberately kept it a secret. Of course, she only had Cooperate and pretend not to hear.

Lu Xiangdong stopped talking, and Tian Mi simply remained silent. About ten minutes later, a sleepy-looking young girl with heavy makeup walked towards the door of Sun Linna's store. There were two people sitting there, but there was no special reaction. They walked around Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong silently, took out the key and bent down to open the rolling door. As the door was gradually opened, she skillfully slipped in through the small gap. , opened the glass door inside, and went into the store.

Tian Mi waited until the shutter door was completely open before pushing the door and walking in. When she entered, the girl with heavy makeup had just turned on the lights in the store and was picking out discs in front of the stereo.

As Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong pushed the door and entered, the small bell hanging on the door jingled. The clerk looked back at them and found that it was the person who was sitting at the door just now, frowning slightly. There was a little wariness in his eyes, but he didn't say much, probably saying "every door is a customer", and continued to pick up the disc with his head down.

Tian Mi took the opportunity to look at the store in front of her.

From the outside, she didn't expect it to be so spacious inside.It's not that Sun Linna's store is so large. From a visual inspection, except for the partitioned fitting room, it's just a shop of more than 50 square meters. The shelves on the four walls are densely hung with clothes of various colors. There are some small decorations on the shelf, some fashionable leather bags, hats and other accessories.

Basically, this is the kind of individual clothing store that is so unusual in City C. Whether it is the clothing grade, style or size of the store, it is not the kind of eye-catching place.

Especially the location of this store can almost be called a golden location in the eyes of small and medium-sized merchants in City C. The surrounding competitors are either taking the high-quality line or being ingenious and winning by surprise. Sun Linna's store is sandwiched in the middle but it is so mediocre , giving people a feeling that the boss doesn't care much, which has to make Tian Mi feel very surprised.

The clerk finally found a disc he was satisfied with and stuffed it into the stereo. Pop songs with a strong rhythm sounded in the store. The clerk himself sat down on the boss chair in a corner of the store and took out a pack of biscuits from the drawer. Kazka He started to chew, and chose to turn a blind eye to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong, with a somewhat arrogant attitude.

Tian Mi frowned.She is a young girl, how could such important content as shopping be missing in her spare time, it is not like she has never seen a salesperson who considers herself a high-end person because she sells high-end goods, and is arrogant and rude to customers, but like In terms of the positioning of Sun Linna's store, usually the clerks will be very eager to please customers, and it will never be the current attitude.

Since it was he who wanted to investigate, it was only reasonable for him to speak up on his own initiative.

"You are the clerk here!" Tian Mi said knowingly to the clerk, "We are..."

Before she could finish speaking, the clerk interrupted her impatiently with a wave of his hand: "I don't care what you are selling, don't tell me, our boss is not here, I can't make the decision! Let's go!"

Okay!Dare to sit and wait in front of the store early in the morning, making this girl think that the two of them came to sell!
Tian Mi sighed, took out her police officer card and waved it in front of the clerk: "We are the police, not here to sell."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, his attitude was still a little cold, but he restrained a lot due to the occupation of the visitor: "The police can't talk to me about anything! I'm just a working girl. If you have something to do, I will Call our boss and talk to her!"

"I said, why are you in such a hurry? Can't people finish their words before drawing conclusions?" Being interrupted one after another, Tian Mi, who was originally not in a good mood, couldn't help feeling impetuous, "We came to find you today. You, I just want to talk to you about your boss! She was killed and died, we are in charge of investigating this case, and we need to know some relevant information from you!"

"April Fool's Day shouldn't be divided into foreign and Chinese like Valentine's Day, right? Besides, policemen shouldn't enjoy these foolish festivals, right?" The clerk suddenly found it hard to accept such explosive news. , thought it was a bad joke.

"The police don't make jokes about people." Tian Mi replied seriously, "You probably haven't seen your boss coming for a few days, right? Haven't you ever worried?"

"No, I'm really not worried. Our boss only comes back after going out for more than a month at a time, and I haven't seen her for three or four days. I have nothing to worry about!" Seeing Tian Mi's seriousness, the clerk responded with his mouth He looked surprised on his face.

Tian Mi told the clerk about the general situation of Sun Linna's murder. After hearing this, the clerk could hardly keep his mouth shut. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He was slightly frightened, stroking his arm frequently, and looking around with scattered eyes. Still muttering in his mouth: "How can this be done...how can this be done..."

"What makes you find it so difficult?" Seeing her like this, Tian Mi couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"The boss said it was gone, and I don't know much about the situation in her family. What should I do with this store? Is it open or not? I have worked more than half of this month, and I can only get my salary at the end of the month. Now she Everyone is gone, who am I going to take the money with!" the clerk said irritably.

"How many clerks are there in this store?"

"only me."

When Tian Mi heard this, she didn't know what to do, so she had to say: "Sun Linna's family should be here today and tomorrow. After she is killed, her property will be disposed of by her family. There is still a problem with your salary in this store. Then you can tell me what to do." Let her family negotiate directly!"

The clerk was not very happy and had no other choice but to nod in agreement.

Since the clerk's previous words revealed that she knew that Sun Linna hadn't appeared in the store for three or four days, and that similar situations had often happened before, she could naturally skip the question, so Tian Mi directly asked about Sun Linna herself. Lai: "Have you been with Sun Linna in this store for a long time? Otherwise, how could she trust you with everything in the store?"

The clerk did not deny this point: "I have been working here for Sister Na for more than two years."

"Then you and Sun Linna must be very familiar? Can you tell us about her?"

"which aspect?"

"Know what to say."

The clerk thought for a while, she was a little overwhelmed by such a broad request, and said after a while: "Actually, the boss doesn't often talk about her personal affairs with me, but sometimes he will talk a little bit when the words are rushed. I don't know." I know why she was harmed by others, at least for me, she is very nice, really nice, her salary has never been delayed, and the money is generous, and she doesn’t have a basic salary plus a commission like some shops , To be honest, I think our boss doesn't care whether the store makes money or not."

Tian Mi nodded, she was not surprised by this statement, after all, it can be seen from how perfunctory the decoration and purchase of this store are.

"My family's conditions are average. When I was admitted to university, I didn't study well. I couldn't even get into a better junior college. I didn't want to spend money to repeat the exam, so I just went out to work. Sometimes I saw my former classmates coming back from the university. She was beautiful, and she was not feeling well. The boss told me that she also came from a poor family and had never studied at a university. I won’t live a good life either.” The clerk paused for a moment, thought about his choice of words, and said to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong, “I think our boss has a financial backer.”
