Chapter 136 Tomato Bookstore
Su Qingxing hopes that the people in the mirror will tell him how to leave the library, but he is not sure whether the people in the mirror who need to tell them what to do will be able to solve the fog around the library.
However, after Su Qingxing expressed his decision, and after the person in the mirror disappeared, the real white teacher outside the mirror appeared outside the library, and the shrill sound of an electric drill sounded suddenly in the library, which had become quiet and deserted.
Su Qingxing still has no one on the staircase of their library and the first floor of the library where he can see, but there is a floor-to-ceiling window at the corner of the staircase, and the sky outside has brightened. There is even a construction worker standing on the decoration bracket looking at Su Qingxing blankly.
The birch had rushed straight down the stairs to Mr. Bai who came in through the door. Su Qingxing and Pisa, who were still standing on the stairs, could see the gate of the library at a glance. A small door had just been opened, the outside was surrounded by planks, and the sound of electric drill came from there.
This is exactly what it looks like in the process of trimming. "how did you get in here?" The teacher Bai obviously did not believe that Su Qingxing had really encountered a psychic event, but thought that several children had sneaked into a place that no one noticed in order to skip class. "it's so hot here that you can stay so long!" Mr. Bai looked at Pisa and Su Qing with a pleasant face, but frowned and sank when he looked at his brother. "the teachers who teach you are basically in the same office as me." even if you want to sneak away, you have trouble to find a better excuse in advance. "
Hot?
After Mr. Bai mentioned this word, people noticed that the library, which was originally chilly because of the air conditioning, was really stuffy and hot, and the smoky makeup of pizza began to faint because of sweating for a while, making it more and more out of the mainstream. "Brother!" At this moment, the birch didn't bother to study each other's mood at the moment. She looked around in panic and said, "We may have met a ghost just now!" "what are you talking about?!" Teacher Bai gave his brother a heavy knock on the forehead. "the class is not over yet. Follow Su Qingxing back to class!" "but. But I think it is necessary to take Su Qingxing to the hospital first, or to find a Taoist temple to have a look! " Birch lowered her voice. "just now I thought I saw him possessed by a ghost and kept talking to himself in the mirror!" "Mirror?" What Bai Hua said attracted the attention of Mr. Bai, and the look in her eyes at Su Qingxing became a little strange for a moment. "how strange." Pizza and Su Qingxing went downstairs, then stopped when they saw Mr. Bai, stared at each other and asked, "have I seen you somewhere?" "are you a student in our school?" Mr. Bai obviously didn't like the non-mainstream anti-Matt look of pizza, so he looked up and down and asked, "students out of school are forbidden to enter during class time, don't you know?" "I'm not a foreign student!" Pizza broke up. "I'm not a student anymore, so is it right to get in and out at any time?" "maybe I can help get the security guard." When he saw the innocent smile of Pisa, there was a smile on Mr. Bai's face. "Please don't disturb the students in class." "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai. I'm not feeling well. Can I go home and have a rest first?" Su Qingxing did not know how to express his feelings now, but felt that his already shaky values seemed to have completely collapsed at this moment, and many messy pictures appeared in his mind, which needed enough time to sort out and summarize.
So under such circumstances, Su Qingxing really does not want to continue to sit in the classroom. "now that you are not feeling well, Su Qingxing should go home and have a rest now. I will help with the sick leave. " In the face of Su Qingxing, the white teacher with a smiling face did use a more gentle way.
Because when he heard his brother Bai Hua say that he was not feeling well, Mr. Bai reined in his smile the next second and said to Bai Hua with a straight face, "you go back to class and don't always talk nonsense in front of me!" If the semester credits are not full, I will ask my parents to confiscate your right to use your laptop at the beginning of next semester. " "it's so biased!"
This time, even pizza, who stood by, agreed after hearing what birch complained about. "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Bai." Although Su Qingxing also wondered why the Bai teacher, who had not even remembered his name, was so gentle to him, Su Qingxing naturally had to express his gratitude since he was helped.
For one thing, Su Qingxing did not think that this teacher Bai was really bad to his brother. after all, he could not treat strangers in the same way as his younger brother, so teacher Bai's serious attitude towards Betula platyphylla was also expected by Su Qingxing. "by the way, you can't help but put that black rice cake, and you must finish it as soon as possible, even if you put it in the refrigerator, so please taste it." After teacher Bai specifically pointed to the bag in Su Qingxing's hand, he smiled and prepared to escort his brother back to the classroom.
As for Mr. Bai's previous urging. Su Qingxing doesn't know whether he really can't help but put the black rice cake, or whether he is urging himself to eat the black rice cake into his stomach as soon as possible.
Just at the thought of the warning from the person in the mirror, Su Qingxing grasped the bag of black rice cakes, knowing that the best way to deal with these black rice cakes was. In a way other than eating, destroy this piece of black rice cake as thoroughly as possible!
Like a fire or something.
After asking for leave, Su Qingxing plans to make good use of the rest of his spare time, go home and have a good rest for half a day, taste the lunch made by his mother, and finally have a good sleep.
Perhaps when Su Qingxing wakes up, he will find that everything he has experienced before is just an absurd dream. In fact, everyone around him is very ordinary, the library is open well, and there are no other strange figures in the mirror. "see you tomorrow, Mr. Bai." Su Qingxing, who watched the birch be led away by his brother and put the black rice cake in his schoolbag, said a simple farewell to the white teacher. "privately, you can call me Bai Chu. See you tomorrow." Bai Chu said, with a smile as perfect as before, it doesn't look like a bad guy. "be careful with that teacher." Pizza, who had been following Su Qingxing all the time, suddenly lowered his voice and said, "that teacher looks gentle and always smiles, but he seems to be making friends with you all the time. Maybe he has some strange intention." "Thank you." Although Su Qingxing did not like this non-mainstream killing of Matt, he felt that what the other party said was reasonable at the moment because of the clues given by the people in the mirror. "what on earth do you think happened just now?" Pizza is still a little confused, "have we seen a ghost?" What on earth did you do in front of the mirror? " "I don't know." Su Qingxing shook his head, but he didn't know how to explain it.
Perhaps it is because the library has returned to normal, and there is no thick fog outside the library. Although Su Qing Xing is still walking along the tree-lined path, there is no fog in the woods on both sides. It seems that the word "ordinary" can only be used to describe it.
Su Qingxing was the only one on the way home, so after walking on the sidewalk outside the school, he took out his cell phone to see if he had missed any information when there was no signal, and then noticed a piece of news shared by his mother. I seem to have missed the news before.
Perhaps it is because there has been no clue to the case mentioned in the news, so the report does not mention any substantive information, only that several people have disappeared in a row in the neighborhood near Su Qingxing. There are no signs of the disappearance of these people, no suspects have been found, and even those who are missing do not have many of the same characteristics.
To be exact, the only thing these people have in common is that they have been around here before, and they are not accompanied by others when they appear.
Then in the blink of an eye, these people disappeared from the world. "Su Qingxing!"
When Su Qingxing came to the door of his house, the door of a nearby shop suddenly opened, and a man smoking a cigarette and a beard came out casually and waved to Su Qingxing.
Su Qingxing subconsciously glanced at the store's signboard and found that four big words "Tomato Bookstore" were written on it.
As the name of a bookstore, these four words seem too lively.
There is also a laughing cartoon tomato on the sign. "after school so early today? Tong Yan happens to be here, so we can communicate in advance. " Yaoyao, the boss who was smoking over there, shouted to Su Qingxing.
Tong Yan? Bookstore?
After thinking about it, Su Qing guessed that this bookstore might be the bookstore where he worked part-time every night in the mouth of Birch, and the man with a cigarette beard was probably the "boss" who had called Su Qingxing before. "Boss." Su Qing walked over and shouted, even if the wrong person, such a title will not make people feel embarrassed. "Last night you said you had found a very important clue to the disappearance case and sent an inexplicable text message to Tong Yan. What on earth is going on?" What the bookstore owner said also confirmed Su Qingxing's guess and told Su Qingxing in another way.
This bookstore really seems to be a part-time detective agency! "Boss, are you a bookstore owner or a professional detective?" Su Qingxing smiled, tried to make the sentence sound like a joke, and tried to get it out of the boss's mouth.
At the moment of seeing the boss, Su Qingxing felt that the man looked familiar, so he believed that they were indeed acquaintances. Especially after listening to what the boss just said, Su Qingxing felt like a temp subordinate running errands for detectives. "when there are things in the 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 I am. " The boss beckoned to Su Qingxing again, with a bitter expression on his face. "Tong Yan and Qiao Lu are both inside, and they found one thing."
Su Qingxing glanced at the cartoon tomato printed on the glass door of the bookstore, thought about it, and then walked straight in.
The bookstore was comfortably air-conditioned, but there were no guests, only two young people who looked a little older than Su Qingxing sat at the rest table, on which there seemed to be some different photos scrolling. "Qingxing, I remember you are a student of Guizhu, right?" The extroverted-looking young man did not seem surprised at Su Qingxing's appearance, but as soon as he saw him, he said, "We are trying to connect the five missing places on the map." it was found that these points coincided with the route to Guizhu, so he searched places along the road that no one else had investigated, and really found the high heels left by one of the missing people. " "it may lead to the vicinity of Guizhu." Su Qingxing does not normally associate the school with the disappearance case.
What good is it for the school to take those people?
Do you want to take it to class?
And why are you so sure that the high heels you found belong to the missing? "what about the text message you sent me yesterday?" The young man got up and put the mobile phone screen in front of Su Qingxing.
Judging from the remarks and names of the mobile phone number, this is indeed a text message sent by Su Qingxing himself. The time was about 10 o'clock last night, but the text message contained only two words. Not even a punctuation was added "Bai Chu". "I have investigated the name 'Bai Chu'. Is it a teacher of Guizhu?" The young man looked confused. "did you send this message to me because you also found that Gui Zhu had something to do with this disappearance case?" "I think maybe we can wait for the result of the police investigation." Su Qingxing's head suddenly became more painful. "I can wait, but Murong can't." The bookstore owner threw the cigarette directly on the ground, ran it over with his heel, and then thought of something, and obediently picked up the cigarette butt and threw it into the dustbin. "Murong has been missing for such a long time, but there is nothing I can do as a husband. I can only entrust you hourly workers to help."
Su Qingxing suddenly realized.
No wonder the bookstore owner said he was qualified to investigate the matter. If Su Qingxing guessed correctly, the boss's wife Murong may also be one of the missing people in this case. "stop smoking, boss. If the landlady sees it, she may trouble you with her heels. " The young man who was still sitting there looked introverted, and even though everyone stood up, he was still looking down at the photos on the tablet.
Su Qingxing took another look at the introverted young man and found that he was not sitting in a chair, but in a light wheelchair. "I'd rather be bothered by her if I could." The bookstore owner smiled bitterly, "so the only clue we can guess now is Gui Zhu, isn't it?" Then we have to go anyway. " "are you leaving now?" The tall young man looks eager to try. "No." The boss glanced at Su Qingxing around him. "We have to make some preparations before we leave after dinner. Su Qingxing, why don't you hurry home for dinner?" It's not too late for you to have a rest. " "mm-hmm." Although he didn't know why the boss chose the evening, Su Qingxing nodded.
What Su Qingxing didn't know was that as soon as he left the bookstore, the bookstore owner had already begun to tidy up his tools and backpacks, and he seemed to move very quickly. "didn't you say to wait until evening?" The two people next to him looked a little puzzled when they saw the boss packing his backpack. "I can't wait a minute at night." The bookstore owner lit another cigarette. "that boy is a promising college student, and you are still young, so you don't need your help in this matter." After all, no one knows what will happen. " "."
Su Qingxing did not know that the bookstore had started to act, but he just walked up the stairs which were unfamiliar to him visually, subconsciously. He even felt a little confused for a moment and could not quite remember which floor his home was on.
Fortunately, when he reached the fourth floor, Su Qingxing saw the door of a house open, and his mother Su Ye, who was holding vegetables in her hand, was looking at him with a smile. "Baby Qingxing, get ready to wash your hands and eat!"
