Postmortem Appointment - C114
Ever since Jin Weilong was a —, I suddenly felt that his entire person had changed. Perhaps it was because he was in my eyes right now, but Bai Hua and I were just too unfamiliar.
Most people would treat strangers with indifference, and this was probably what Jin Weilong was thinking at the moment. I didn’t hurry to sigh, and reminisced about the Jin Weilong who was so carefree just now.
“Zhang Yu, be careful of the stairs!” I was busy thinking about my own things, but I didn’t expect that there would be three more steps to this house. If it wasn’t for Bai Hua’s reminder, I probably would have stepped on empty air and fallen down.
Perhaps it was because the floor of the room was a little lower than the street outside, and the lighting in this shop was not too good, so the lighting in the shop was very poor.
However, I didn’t find this strange at all, because I have heard people say before that an antique shop like this can make the room a little darker. In the dim light, it is easy to make a mistake when looking at something.
Based on my previous experience, I should be able to sense something strange when I enter this extremely evil shop. However, after walking in, I didn’t feel anything at all. I could only smell a faint scent of sandalwood.
When I entered, I found myself facing two mahogany grandmasters’ chairs, and a small square table of the same material in the middle of the room.
On the left side of the chair was an empty wooden door, which was tightly shut. A twenty-something year old woman in a pale pink qipao sat on the right side of the chair, drinking tea.
I subconsciously looked at this woman. Honestly speaking, this woman wasn’t that stunning, but she gave off a very flirtatious feeling. She didn’t seem to care about us at all as she continued to drink her tea without even lifting her head.
On each side of the store, there were two shelves against the wall. Each shelf had different antiques, so it seemed that these things were what the store wanted to buy.
The pair of blood-red embroidered shoes we had just seen were on the east shelf, in front of the window, so we saw them before we even entered.
That place was extremely eye-catching, it was clearly placed there on purpose. I turned my head to look at Bai Hua, then quickly walked towards that pair of embroidered shoes.
“Boss, how much are you selling those embroidered shoes for?” I walked over to the rack and studied the pair of blood-red embroidered shoes.
Although I have only seen it twice in Bai Hua’s hands, with my many years of experience in doing business, I could still immediately tell that this thing and the two that we had picked up were not the same pair. Thus, I hurriedly stood up and asked.
“That one is not for sale!” The woman still didn’t look up as she coldly said that. Then, she poured herself another cup of tea.
“Since you’re not selling, why did you put her there?”
Jin Weilong looked at him doubtfully, and asked puzzledly.
Bai Hua did not make a sound, but quickly walked to the left side of the chair. Just as she was about to sit down, she saw the female boss standing up anxiously, grabbing Bai Hua’s arm, and shouted emotionally: “This is not a place for you to sit!”
“It’s obviously empty, but why can’t you do it, how can you do business like this!?”
Bai Hua laughed coldly, got rid of her hand, glanced at her, and said with surprise.
“You’re on my side!” The woman sighed softly, looked up, and said, I can see that she was very reluctant, her eyes flashed with impatience several times, and she wished we could leave now.
“Big sister, we came here to show you something. Don’t be in such a hurry to chase us away. We’ll talk about it after we see something!”
Bai Hua sat on the right, and said while smiling faintly.
When the lady heard it, she could not help but snort. Obviously she did not think that Bai Hua would take out anything that would pique her interest.
At this moment, Jin Weilong was leaning on the door while I was standing in front of the shelves, curiously staring at this woman, because Jin Weilong and I knew clearly what Bai Hua wanted to show this woman.
Seeing her expression, Bai Hua smiled gently, and then carefully placed the two blood-red embroidered shoes on the square table from her bag, and said: “Then, the ones I want you to help me look at are them!”
The woman glanced at it impatiently, but when she saw the pair of blood-red embroidered shoes on the table, she turned her head in astonishment. I even saw that the woman was trembling slightly with an expression of disbelief on her face.
After a long time, she excitedly asked, “Where did you get these shoes from?”
I looked at her doubtfully. I kept having the feeling that something was wrong. Normally, people wouldn’t be that shocked for more than 5 seconds. This woman’s expression just now was obviously too much. She was indeed surprised, but it wasn’t to such an extent.
Even though I no longer have mind-reading skills, but I can clearly feel that this woman is afraid of these shoes.
“I can tell you, but you have to let go of the woman who bought a white jade bracelet from you half a month ago!”
Bai Hua sneered, and casually picked up one of the red embroidered shoes, as though she wanted to tear the Talisman Paper off.
“Don’t be like this, I’m not afraid of you. Leave your shoes and get lost, otherwise don’t force me to be rude to you!”
The lady was shocked, but when she heard Bai Hua mention the woman who bought the white jade bracelet, namely Ah Xue, her expression suddenly turned sinister.
“If you want to leave, that’s fine. I can leave these shoes for you since they are useless to us. However, you must let go of Ah Xue. Otherwise, don’t force me to be rude to you!”
Bai Hua did not retreat at all, she still sat on the armchair, and did not stand up to leave.
Just then, I saw Jin Weilong suddenly take a step towards Bai Hua and the rest, I kept feeling that something was amiss, and looked at the lady warily.
As expected, I clearly saw this woman. I waved my hand and a cold wind started to blow.
Bang
With a few violent sounds, the windows and doors of the room were slammed shut. The entire room was sealed tightly like a coffin.
“You are courting death, I’ll grant you your wish!”
Before I could react in my mind, I heard the woman shouting at us at the top of her lungs.
When I looked at that weird woman again, I found that she was wearing a strange green robe. Her tail was flapping behind her and there were many goosebumps on it. She looked like she was doing it on purpose.
I couldn’t help but feel a chill in my heart. Although I didn’t normally look at the animal kingdom, there was a type of animal that was really unique, so I recognized it at a glance.
