    Li Yu was not frightened, and asked, "Has something happened on the island?"

    The fifth said no.

    "I don't believe it." Li Yu dragged the person aside and said in a low voice, "Someone broke in unintentionally like us and wanted to leave, but was killed?"

    "I didn't say that."

    It seemed that he had, and Li Yu gave him a reassuring look, "I know how to do it."

    In the activity center, the two policemen sat upright and their aura was much weaker than that of the person being questioned.

    He crossed his legs, took a leisurely sip of tea, and just put down the cup, when he remembered the clear footsteps in the corridor, and the conference room door was pushed open.

    Li Yu walked in without squinting and nodded to the police uncle to say hello.

    The content of the question was relatively simple. It was nothing more than meeting the commissary owner at what time last night, did you see the appearance of other people clearly, and whether you heard them talking.

    Li Yu replied one by one, his eyes squinting at the degree intentionally or not.

    The man sat leisurely and tapped his fingers slowly on the table. It was more like listening to a storytelling than being investigated by the police.

    "We already understand the specific situation. Please rest assured, Mr. Cheng. We will follow up the investigation immediately, find the murderer as soon as possible, and give justice to the deceased."

    The policeman put away the pen and paper, turned around and left, and glanced at Li Yu when he passed by.

    It was a look full of warning, and people were taken aback for a while.

    Somehow, Li Yu remembered that the fifth child was talking before entering the door.

    In an instant, the cold air came out of thin air and ran up the back of the head along the heels, causing goosebumps all over.

    "Why didn't you tell the police to leave?" Duo said, let go of the teacup and stood up.

    The man is tall and sturdy like a hill, standing behind him, just raising his arms, he can trap the young man between himself and the table and chairs.

    Li Yu turned to look at him, "This place is beautiful, why should I leave?"

    He didn't want to eat this set, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it and took a puff.

    This was the first time Li Yu saw him smoking. When the smoke came out of the man's mouth, it easily faded his sharp facial features.

    "You won't regret staying." He smiled inexplicably, as if he had found something interesting.

    He said, "Lonely Town is an interesting place. You might find it boring at other times, but now, it is the most vibrant and most beautiful time."

    Li Yu was not tempted, and looked down at the cigarette between the man's fingers.

    The scarlet sparks flickered on and off, like those twinkling eyes that shone with eerie light.

    The death of the commissary owner had no effect on the man. On the contrary, it was like a tipping point, which inspired some secret emotions in him.

    This place has a subtropical monsoon climate, with all seasons like spring and full of life at any time.

    Li Yu has an intuition, the degree is just right, that he should be a resident of the island.

    The fifth man was pacing anxiously at the door. The police had left for ten minutes. The two of them hadn't come out yet, and they didn't know what they were doing.

    He was not very talkative, and he was never ambiguous in beating people. I heard from Uncle Li that when he first came, the island was full of fishermen.

    Later, he returned to his hometown in high clothes, bringing with him a construction team and a lot of money. There were some things that the islanders had never seen before, so it was inevitable that they would be jealous and have bad thoughts in their hearts.

    A few of them were timid, trying to sneak in in the middle of the night and looting money, and they were caught.

    At the same time, there are fewer enemies and more at the same time, and he has the mind to play yin, always looking for tricky positions to start, making people feel unbearable pain, and leaving no evidence of being beaten.

    The scary thing about this kind of person is that people suffer and have nowhere to complain.

    He stopped and decided to go in and have a look. Just as he stepped on the stairs, the door of the activity center was pulled open, revealing a familiar face.

    Old Wu's throat tightened and his heart jumped.

    The degree is not the same as usual, the smile is obvious on the stern facial features, but the coldness rolls in the eyes, which makes people feel the urge to run away.

    The old fifth swallowed his saliva, grinned and wanted to lean to the right to make way for the man, but he turned his body against him and took a step to the left, just blocking the other side's path.

    The degree tsk, impatient.

    The old fifth shivered, afraid that he would make another mistake, so he simply stood still.

    The degree of restraint expression, handed only a cigarette.

    The old fifth took it with both hands, took out the lighter and gave it to the boss.

    Between men and men, tobacco, alcohol, and cards are the best bridges to connect.

    The fifth took a deep breath, the smoke swirled around his lungs, which relieved his nervousness, and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, Lin Zhouzhou has just come here as a child, and he is ignorant. Please forgive me for any offenses."

    He narrowed his eyes slightly, "You know him well?"

    The old fifth was terrified, "It's normal, I've seen it twice."

    "That can barely be called an acquaintance." He flicked the soot. "Since you are an acquaintance, you can say what you want to say. You can't hide it. Young people are very curious. If you don't say it, he will check it himself."

    So far, the fifth one has understood the topic.

    Human beings have no end to explore the unknown. The more vague he is, the more young people want to know. If the private investigation hits someone, the consequences will be hard to say.

    Back then, when he first came here, he also committed death, and finally managed to save his life.

    The fifth stopped his memory, only to find that the level man had disappeared and left silently.

    Li Yu was always at the door, and only came out when he left.

    "What are you talking about?" Without trying to hide his eavesdropping, he asked generously, "What did he ask you to tell me?"

    The fifth scratched his head, still struggling, mainly for fear of scaring people.

    Li Yu folded his arms and watched, he was wasting time.

    The two stared at each other for dozens of seconds, and the fifth one was defeated, "You guessed it, other than the four of us, other people have indeed been to the island."

    Li Yu was not surprised, "What happened to that person?"

    "I'm dead, I fell off the rocks, I'm dead." A bloody scene flashed in front of him, and the fifth man frowned, "That day happened to be the day when Siyan went out to buy, and he followed him and wanted to get on the plane and leave here. ."

    "There is usually a security team guarding the apron. They found him and chased him all the way to the reefs... I don't know what happened, but the man was indeed dead, and the body was thrown into the sea on the spot."

    This is too fucking crazy, Li Yu asked, "No one called the police?"

    "No." The fifth one bit the cigarette butt with a worried expression, "Anyway, be careful, you heard what Mr. Cheng said just now, don't ask nonsense, stay honest."

    "Ignore these weird places, this place is not bad, the pace of life is slow, and people don't interfere with each other, which is good."

    "You have such a big heart." Li Yu admired sincerely.

    The old fifth smiled, helplessness in his language, "Otherwise, what can we do? Sister Lan and I are both alone. Where can we not live?"

    Some people have no worries, just like duckweed, they can live as long as they have water, and some people have worries and want to leave here if they don't want to die.

    Li Yu felt that he could be the former and put the task on his shoulders, but forced him to go in the direction of losing his life.

    The owner of the commissary died, without causing any splash in the town. On the way back, the shops on both sides of the street were open, and occasionally one or two could be seen chatting on the side of the street.

    When passing the bar, the fifth stopped, "The bar will open in three or four hours. I'm too lazy to go back and come over again, so I won't be with you."

    Li Yu glanced at the grocery store next door to the bar. There was a recruitment sticker on the door. The recruitment content only stipulated the age limit.

    The old fifth followed, "I really want to try, I'll accompany you in and ask."

    The boss is a thin and fine middle-aged woman, tall, with a big skeleton, just looking at her face and body shape, she looks like a man.

    She wore a big wave, and her mouth was bright red. When she saw an acquaintance next door, she pretended to say hello, and her voice was demonic.

    The fifth called her Boss Jin and pushed Li Yu forward, "Isn't there a shortage of people here all the time? Let's see if this little brother can do it."

    Boss Jin's critical eyes swept across the young man's face, and Lan Hua pointed his forehead and asked, "What do you know?"

    Li Yu said, "I will do the math, and the calculator strikes well."

    There is no computer in the store, and all accounts are calculated and entered manually. Boss Jin threw a ledger over after hearing it, "You can type it and I'll take a look."

    Li Yu glanced at it, meaningless.

    He set up the ledger and calculator and began typing on the keyboard.

    Seeing that the young man was about to leave his afterimage, Boss Jin clapped the table and called to stop, "Stay here and come to work tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."

    Li Yu had no objection and asked about the salary.

    Boss Jin said, "The salary is 1500 yuan, and the salary will be paid at the end of each month."

    The boss is a shrewd person and won't agree to advance wages. Li Yu lowered his stance and asked with drooping eyebrows, "Boss, can the salary be paid every day this month, fifty per day."

    "No money?" Boss Jin sneered in disdain and said mercifully, "Okay, let's not set an example."

    The old fifth put on Li Yu's shoulders and joked, "Then my little brother will ask you."

    After he finished speaking, he hooked the young man's neck and took the man out, his face tugging at the old man.

    He spat, "Why don't you raise her salary with her? I remember that the clerk before her was one thousand eighteen."

    Li Yu said forget it, it's useless to lift it.

    "She knew that I was a newcomer and needed money urgently, so it was impossible to give in." Even if she applied for a job elsewhere, the result was the same.

    "That's right." The fifth patted the young man on the shoulder comfortingly, "Let's change it when it is suitable."

    The work has been resolved, leaving Lin Xiaozhou to eat.

    After returning home, Li Yu pulled the person in front of him, "From tomorrow onwards, you will be home alone, right?"

    "Can I find someone to play with?" The child's voice was small, for fear of being disliked and thrown out.

    Recalling that when was washed up on the beach, this forced the child to be beaten, and had to sigh, life, you are the most awesome sculptor.

    "Yes, but you must come back for dinner on time." Li Yu's expression was serious, trying to create a majestic image for himself.

    Lin Xiaozhou nodded, his eyes sparkling, "Brother, where do you go to work?"

    The child runs around the town every day, and he has already figured out the town. When Li Yu mentioned it a little, he remembered which store it was.

    "That shop is not good." Lin Xiaozhou frowned, "I heard that the boss is fierce."

    "What happened?"

    "She has a bad temper. Once everyone was playing at his door, she took things and threw us away." After the little boy complained, he reached out to grab Li Yushou, "Don't go, change to another family."

    Li Yu patted him on the head, "She was trying to scare you."

    Saying this on the lips, but not thinking so in the heart, Boss Jin feels really strange, and it is equally strange that there is that store.

    Generally speaking, the grocery stores sell small general merchandise, firewood, rice, oil, salt, towels, toothbrushes, etc. In Mr. Jin's store, in addition to ordinary groceries, there are iron shovels, iron hammers, and electric drills.

    These things are placed in the grocery store, how to see how they violate the law.

    In the evening, Li Yu went to the beach to dig a few small crabs and boiled a large pot of porridge. After eating, he divided the rest into two small bowls and told the children that they could only drink one bowl at a time. Have a big dinner in the evening.

    At eight o'clock the next morning, the grocery store was already open.

    Looking at the open store, Li Yu was in a complicated mood.

    Even if you think about it with your butt, you will definitely be criticized for going in. No boss likes to arrive later than himself.

    Boss Jin held this feather duster in his hand, and as soon as the young man entered the door, his face was cold and yin and yang, "I was a boss earlier than you were an employee, Xiaolin, this is not suitable."

    Li Yu said yes, "I will be there early tomorrow."

    Boss Jin snorted and threw the things in his hand. "First dust off the dust, and then organize the shelves. By the way, when mopping the floor, the water must be wrung out, so as not to leave water marks on the ground."

    Li Yu smiled, "Okay, boss."

    Boss Jin moved his butt off the stool, went to the door, and stared at the store with his arms crossed. Whenever someone inside did something wrong, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

    Li Yu arranged the shelves with his back to the outside, and sorted the things. He stopped his eyes on the corner electric drill.

    Glancing outside, Boss Jin was talking to a clerk who had just arrived at a certain store.

    Li Yu asked the system to stare at the door and squatted down to study the electric drill. This thing looked brand new, but there was a very shallow scratch on the back where the label was attached.

    "1551, did you say this thing has been used?"

    "Can't be sure," 1551 said. "You can look at the drill."

    Outside the door, Boss Jin didn't see anyone from the window, and walked quickly to the door.

    "Lin Zhouzhou, where are you?" She shouted and walked around behind a shelf, and found the young man squatting on the ground, diligently wiping the legs of the shelf.

    Li Yu wiped the sweat with his arm and was stunned when he saw Boss Jin, "Boss."

    Boss Jin gave a light hum, and after sitting at the cashier, he didn't plan to go out again.

    Li Yu swept his eyes from the shelf closest to the wall, went inside, took out the mop, and started mopping the floor.

    Boss Jin's eyes were like lasers, sweeping from the back of the young man's neck to his back, then from his butt to his thighs, and finally stopped on the other's pair of white and tender hands.

    Her eyes flashed slightly, and she asked with a smile, "Your family should be good, right?"

    Li Yu mopped the floor, "The well-off level is not very good."

    Boss Jin came out from behind the table and leaned back, "Are you homesick?"

    The three words made Li Yu alert and his expression remained unchanged.

    A few seconds later, he brewed a few traces of depression and pain, "I don't want to, my parents are too busy with work, they don't care about me at all, it's the same with me or not at home."

    "That's it." Boss Jin tutted sympathetically, "But what if they find you? Do you want to call home?"

    Li Yu stopped and looked up at the middle-aged woman, Auntie, do you think I'm so stupid that I'll take the bait if I lie a few words?

    "I don't want to." He wrinkled his nose and inhaled, looking like he was about to cry, "They don't need me, and I don't need them either. I'm fine on the island."

    Anyone who heard this would know that it was an angry remark. Boss Jin pretended to be friendly and patted him on the shoulder and went to the inner room.

    In addition to storing inventory and cleaning tools, there is also a toilet.

    Li Yu handed over the eavesdropping task to the system and quietly came to the corner. There was no drill bit on the electric drill, so it should have been placed elsewhere.

    I searched around the shelf to no avail, then knelt down on the ground and looked down the shelf. There was a dark gray box in the corner of the wall.

    "What is she doing?"

    "Call." 1551 said, "Just about you."

    Li Yu calmly dragged the box out, "What are you talking about me?"

    1551 said, "Talk about whether you really want to stay."

    Li Yu opened the lock on the box and lifted the lid. There were several different types of drill bits inside. The most notable one was a hollow drill bit.

    Hollow drills are uncommon, but are generally used in railways or tunnels and other fortifications. If necessary, they can also be used to collect rock specimens.

    Li Yu glanced at the closed door and asked the system, "Is there a magnifying glass?"

    1551 said, "Only screenshots can be enlarged."

    Li Yu said yes.

    After receiving the instruction, the system took a clear screenshot and enlarged it to thirty times.

    On several drill bits, the seemingly smooth surface is more or less like a small scratch.

    The scratches are basically concentrated on the drill bit, which should be put away after only one use.

    Li Yu returned the things to their original positions, and continued mopping the floor as if nothing had happened. When he remembered that the system said that Boss Jin was talking about him on the phone, his mood suddenly became a little heavy.

    He is not stupid, he knows that the boss is just spying on his attitude.

    If at that time he showed a strong desire to go **, don't know if the end would be the same as the one who was thrown into the sea.

    The sound of high heels came from inside, and Boss Jin walked out with a gloomy face, as if he had quarreled with someone.

    Li Yu didn't dare to make a sound, and went in with a mop to rinse, while asking the system, "What's wrong with her?"

    1551 said, "I don't know."

    Li Yu murmured, "Didn't I let you monitor it well?"

    1551 stopped talking.

    Li Yu squatted down and twisted the mop with his hands, feeling that something was wrong.

    The system is composed of small programs one by one, and there is no emotional module, so there should be no negligence of duty.

    With a flash of light in his mind, Li Yu smiled proudly, and understood that Boss Jin should talk to someone about the secret.

    He stood up and went out with the mop, bumping into a pair of black eyes.

    The degree is to buy cigarettes. If you die, you die, and you die in Guiliqun's soft-packed Fuchun Mountain Residence. Even the original owner and his father would not be willing to smoke this cigarette.

    Boss Jin handed a whole cigarette to the man, put his hands on the table, and said softly, "There is only one left. I don't know if Zhang Chengcheng can help me get in the cigarette this time."

    Speaking in a delicate voice and not being pretentious, Li Yu quickly dragged the goosebumps away from the ground.

    Seeing that the young man clearly saw him, but didn't say hello, he subconsciously snorted.

    Li Yu put the mop and pestle on the ground, turned around and said, "I have a name, so I don't call him hello."

    She turned her face away, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

    I don't know that this kid's parents named it like this.

    Seeing the man's lips move, Li Yu expressed his understanding.

    The original owner's name, whether it is heard or shouted, is awkward.

    Forget it, if he dares to shout, he may not dare to agree.

    Li Yu sighed inwardly, burying his head and continuing to work, he didn't notice when bending over, his feet slipped, his body slanted uncontrollably, and the mop was also thrown out, just hitting the level.

    Boss Jin came out from behind the counter in fright and shouted sharply, "Lin Zhouzhou, do you have eyes?"

    How much money he has in his hands, no one knows, but he spends a lot of money, always buys things the best, and never bargains. This kind of customer, even if they burn high incense, may not be able to come.

    Not to mention her grocery store, which store in town didn't coax this man.

    It's good now that the God of Wealth was beaten by the new clerk under his own eyes. It's worth it!

    The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Boss Jin's lungs were about to explode. He yelled at the young man who had just held the shelf and stood firm, "You, please apologize to Mr. Cheng, or I..."

    "Shut up." A cold voice interrupted her, "Who allowed you to yell at him."

    Li Yu and Boss Jin were stunned together.
