In fact, Shen Xing has met this kind of customer before, but the wood carvings were not that expensive at that time. The customer was afraid that his family would not agree to buy it when he returned home, so after returning home to ask for permission, he would quickly return to take away the wood carvings.
Of course, there are also people who just talk about it and never come back.
Such customers usually do not pay a deposit.
A customer like this middle-aged man who first paid a thousand yuan and then repeatedly warned Shen Xing not to sell within a week, seemed to have a strong desire to buy it himself.
Shen Xing would not doubt this.
He agreed immediately, and temporarily took out the mask wood carving from the counter, and locked it in the cabinet, so that other customers would not take a fancy to it and it would be difficult for him to explain.
Shen Xing did not forget to register. The man who paid the deposit in advance was named Zhuo Datong and left a mobile phone number. He also took away a business card of the audio shop.
At the end of the day, Shen Xing felt happy. If the store could make money at this rate every day from now on, it would save him a lot of worries, allowing him to study the anomalies with peace of mind and find out the cause of Ye Ting's death.
When I returned home, I bought Feifei a carton of milk from the supermarket outside the community so that she could remember to drink it every day.
Feifei went to school quietly the next morning. Shen Xing worked on wood carving until late at night, and it was already nine o'clock when she woke up.
He was not going to open the store in the morning, but had other plans.
Since the last time he encountered an abnormal face, he had always wanted to visit Song Xiaoyu again. The most important thing was to ask her how she encountered the abnormality at that time.
Although Song Xiaoyu himself may not know exactly what is going on, as long as he asks for some clues and relies on his own experience in dealing with abnormalities, he will always be able to deduce something useful.
Last time at the orphanage, I asked for Song Xiaoyu's mobile phone number. Shen Xing called after getting up.
The call was quickly connected there, and from Song Xiaoyu's voice, she and her family members were recovering well, but they were still hospitalized.
Her father Song Hao's injuries were less serious and he was already in the hospital for observation. Only she and her mother An Lifen needed further treatment.
Shen Xing arrived at the entrance of the hospital, bought some fruits and a bouquet of flowers, found the inpatient department, and went to the ward on the 12th floor based on the information provided by Song Xiaoyu.
The wards here are for three people per room, and one of them happens to be occupied by Song Xiaoyu's family of three.
After Shen Xing arrived, he suddenly felt that he had bought less fruits and fewer flowers.
However, the Song family didn't care, because they heard from the investigation team afterwards that Shen Xing played a great role in eliminating danger for them, otherwise Team Leader Zheng would not have easily rescued them.
Although the sheriffs did not say anything explicitly, Song Hao asked the older generation in his hometown for their explanations, saying that they had encountered something unclean. Fortunately, the sheriffs had great righteousness and were able to drive away those guys.
After scalp ulceration, it can be recovered as long as it is treated well.
After chatting politely with the Song family for a while and asking about the recovery status of the three of them, Shen Xing turned to the topic and asked Song Xiaoyu.
Song Xiaoyu's head was still wrapped with cotton wool and bandages, with only her eyes, lips and nose exposed. Her mother, An Lifen, had already taken off the bandages, but medicine was still being used on the back of her head.
"Perhaps the sheriffs have asked you about these words, but I'm still curious and want to ask." Shen Xing asked Song Xiaoyu: "Have you ever been there before you first felt itchy scalp? Where? Like, I’ve never been there before.”
Song Xiaoyu shook her head: "I haven't been to other places because my life is very regular, basically three points and one line, home, work, and orphanage."
Shen Xing asked again: "Have you ever been exposed to something you have never been exposed to before? For example, have you touched unknown objects, met strange people, or even had nightmares during that period?"
Song Xiaoyu recalled it seriously, but still shook her head: "The sheriff has also asked these questions you asked me, but I have been recalling them these past few days, and I really have never encountered these situations."
Shen Xing became silent.
About two or three minutes later, he asked again: "Think about it, from the very beginning when your scalp was itchy, do you remember what you were doing during that period?"
Song Xiaoyu lowered his head to recall, and said slowly: "Two days before I had the itchy head, I ate too much chili pepper, and my whole body got a little angry. I thought that was the cause. That day, I took the elevator downstairs to go to work. After I got out of the elevator, Just, my whole body felt hot, and then I started scratching my scalp.”
Speaking of this, Song Xiaoyu suddenly stopped talking and seemed to have thought of something.
After a while, she continued: "I met my neighbor, an acquaintance, in the elevator. He was still talking about whether I had a fever and that my skin was very bad. Then...then..."
"Then what?" Shen Xing stepped forward a little and asked.
At this time, Song Hao and An Lifen also came over and sat beside their daughter's bed, staring at her without blinking. They had not heard their daughter say this.
"Then...he started scratching the back of his head." Song Xiaoyu seemed to remember at this moment, and her speech speed increased, "Yes, he suddenly scratched his head, and his nails rubbed against his scalp, making a rustling sound. Shortly after getting out of the elevator, I I subconsciously scratched my head, especially the back of my head, but I didn’t think much about it and didn’t realize anything.”
"Are you sure it started at that time?" Shen Xing asked.
Song Xiaoyu thought for a while: "It should be... that's it. I really can't think of any other suspicious places. If not, I can't help it. Maybe his head just happened to be itchy at that time? What if I infected him? Woolen cloth?"
Shen Xing nodded: "What's that person's name?"
Song Xiaoyu turned to look at An Lifen in confusion: "Mom, the one who lives on the same floor as us seems to be the one at No. 8-5. What is it called?"
An Lifen lowered her head and pondered, unable to remember the name of this family for a moment.
Song Hao asked: "Is he the man who came to my house that time to borrow a hammer to install the curtains?"
"Yes, what's the name of that place?" An Lifen tried to remember.
"The man's surname is Zhang, and his name seems to be some kind of tree..." Song Hao said.
"When I think of it, my name is Zhang Shu, two words, Zhang Shu." An Lifen patted her thigh and said with certainty: "He lives alone, is not married, and has no children."
As the "No.1 Gossip Sister" in Jujiayuan Community, as long as she knows a person's name, there is no one whom An Lifen can't tell her family background.
"Did you meet Zhang Shu again in the next few days?" Shen Xing asked.
The three members of the Song family thought hard and then shook their heads. It’s not that I haven’t seen it, it’s that I don’t know.
They were later controlled by the scalp, and it was not clear whether they saw Zhang Shu again.
After asking for another long time and finding no other useful information, Shen Xing came out of the hospital.
He asked the same question just now. Song Xiaoyu didn't tell the Sheriff about Zhang Shu. After all, she only remembered it now.
I looked at the time and saw that it was not noon yet, so I thought I would take this opportunity to visit Zhang Shu.
I called Li Naijing, and the other party said that they had received other cases and were unable to come over for the time being. They asked him to go take a look first as a temporary investigator of the investigation team.
The investigation method is the same as last time in Jincheng Building. If something goes wrong, exit first and wait for support.
But now that Shen Xing has the equipment given by Zheng Ruijun, he can deal with it even if he encounters a situation. Compared with before, his ability to deal with abnormalities has been greatly improved.
And now it's just a suspicion, it doesn't necessarily mean that Song Xiaoyu's memory is accurate. Otherwise, even if the family there doesn't call the police, relatives and friends may discover special circumstances and call the police.
