Chapter 98 The Weight of Life
"The style on the first floor is different from the style on the second floor. I know you don't like those art schools very much, so I followed a teacher's advice and separated the styles on the first floor and the second floor..." While choosing furniture, Charlie talked about some things that Charlie didn't pay much attention to.
"What do you think of this bed?" In front of the two was a very traditional wooden bed, with pillars standing up at the four corners of the bed, and a layer of bed curtain with lace and maple leaves on it was combed at the head of the bed. The white quilt with a slight pink color would not make it look too serious. Overall, it gives people a very noble feeling. Of course, its price is also very touching. Good things will never be too cheap. This is also a form of identity and grade.
Charles walked to the bed and touched the soft bag on the head of the bed. The shopping guide girl immediately introduced the design style and comfort of the bed to the two, and tried her best to make the two ignore its expensive price, and then praised the aesthetics and choices of the brother and sister in a very affirmative tone.
Shire nodded, "It looks good..." He looked up at the shopping guide girl who always kept smiling, "Are all the above gifts given?" At this time, you can't ask if you want to buy separately. If you ask, the gifts may become something that needs to be purchased separately. After the shopping guide girl nodded and confirmed, the two started to browse again.
In addition to the things they needed in the three rooms, they also had some living room layouts and other things. You should know that after the single-family house was renovated, the area of a flat floor was more than 350 square meters. In addition to three bedrooms and toilets and two separate toilets, study and activity rooms on the second floor, there are some other rooms that need to be decorated, and of course there are rooms on the first floor.
Xia Li needs a dance room for dancing, and a room for the other party’s alchemy materials. A lot of things need to be purchased, and some of them will be pulled from the Light of Art. As the curator’s disciple, Xia Li moved into a new home, and the teacher must also perform. Ordinary neighborhood residents may be delivered to the door and it will be over, but the teacher is the teacher, which is different!
When everything was selected, Charlie pointed to the mirror in the window, "And that mirror..."
The mirror I saw before stood quietly in the window. The brother and sister walked over. Xia Li gently stroked the frame. The meticulous polishing process made the frame very gentle when it felt, without any burrs, and it was not even like she was stroking a dead object.
The frame that was shining in the sun for a period of time had a temperature that was no less than the normal temperature of the human body, which made it more like living.
"This mirror... looks special." Charlie retracted her hand, with a very short haze in her eyes. "I want to put it in the bedroom or cloakroom."
Charles nodded indifferently, "Just be happy..."
The shopping guide girl next to her was so excited that she was about to faint. In addition to being grateful, she also had some envy. She was also young people, but had different lives. Of course, she was very content now because the commission brought by this single voice was enough to meet the commissions in the past year, and even more!
Even the boss was alarmed by these two generous young guests, and personally accompanied them to the nearby bank to complete the transfer process, and even gave away free items such as home delivery and installation, which originally required fees.
After saying goodbye to his brother and sister, he began his nervous and busy work. However, when checking the furniture purchased by the two young people, the owner of the home furnishing store suddenly frowned. He walked to the mirror that the brother and sister last ordered, stroked the frame, and looked at the simple but extremely exquisite carving marks, and a little doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Have we ever sold such mirrors?" He asked the worker who was in charge of packaging. The worker seemed to have forgotten that he had arranged for someone to unload the mirror from the trailer not long ago.
"No, sir, I have never seen this mirror, but it looks very advanced..." The worker leaned over. He seemed to want to touch the frame with his hands, but the boss opened his hand in time.
The boss's eyes were a little confused, "Be careful of your dirty hands. This mirror has been sold. You can't dirty it. If the customer wants to return the goods, then you have to buy it." After saying these words, the boss's eyes returned to clearness, but he still glared at the worker's head unhappily.
The latter pushed a few steps awkwardly, "I just saw that it looks very high-end. Maybe the materials it uses are different from ordinary furniture..."
"Pay attention to your identity, it has nothing to do with you!" The owner of the home furnishing store scolded without hesitation and asked the worker to raise his hands and surrender and retreat. He was unwilling to lose such a generous job because of some small offense. For the sake of money, this is nothing.
When the mirror was also packed and put into a wooden box and fixed, two policemen walked through the front hall of the home store and came to the warehouse behind. They took out their police badges and showed them to the owner of the home store to see, and handed him a photo.
"We're looking for the mirror in this photo, have you seen it or something like that?"
The boss took the photo, and the blank space in the photo contained the evidence number and a string of numbers, as well as some letters of unknown significance. In the middle of the photo, a crimson mirror was there.
The director of the home furnishing store shook his head, "Sorry, I haven't seen this mirror before, what's wrong with it?"
A policeman took back the photo and put it in his shirt pocket, "It ran away from the evidence room with long legs..."
The owner of the home furnishing store showed a perfect exaggerated smile. He patted the police officer's arm and smiled loudly, "This joke is very funny. It does run away with long legs. If I have news about it, I will go to the police station to report the case. By the way, is there a bounty?"
The police shook his head, "Helping the police solve the case is the obligation of every city residents to fulfill their responsibilities. If any discovery is made..."
The boss immediately took it, "I will go to the police station immediately!"
The talking policeman gently touched the police helmet twice with his fingers, making a dull banging sound. This is a unique understanding of the police. Because the helmet was tied to his chin with a rope, they could not take off their hats in an ordinary way. Touching the helmet became a "respectful" way. "Goodbye, gentlemen..." He did not forget to look at the head of the worker, who bent down to show respect to the police.
The boss also waved his arms enthusiastically, "Goodbye, gentlemen!"
The evidence will definitely not escape by itself. Something must have stolen it. This is what the people in the police station think, because this mirror involves five serial perverted murder cases, and each crime scene has this mirror. Although it is not very clear whether this mirror has any direct connection with the murder case, it is still sealed in the "special evidence vault" in the evidence room.
It was a room similar to a vault safe, which contained many special evidence, which were basically related to mysterious events.
Just this morning, the knights of the court asked to check the mirror. The custodian of the evidence room took them to open the vault. The mirror disappeared. The adults of the court immediately got angry, but that was useless.
Director Hick lost his position as the police chief for some unknown reasons. The competition for the new director is now very fierce. In other words, the police station has not yet had a specific person in charge, and no one can find the blame for losing important evidence.
Finally, the trial office asked everyone in the police station to scatter and look for clues to the mirror. Now they can be sure that this is a mysterious murder.
During this period, all kinds of similar cases broke out in the entire empire, and more and more things seemed to have lived like they had a life. Some people even saw people who appeared in front of them more than a hundred years ago and disappeared after killing someone.
Not only the Tenomian Empire is like this, but the whole world is shrouded in some weird atmosphere, and something seems to be changing where people don’t know.
Charles and Charles, who had returned to the street, watched a police car gallop quickly, and both of them looked at each other. After they left the home hall, it seemed that the entire police station had been alarmed. They watched with their own eyes the six police cars and fully armed policemen entered the lower city.
You should know that the police do not like to go to the Lower City. In that kind of place, they look like bad people, which makes them very nervous, and even a fire incident occurred - a resident of the Lower City shouted and ran towards them quickly and tried to throw something at them, and then they shot that person to death. The above is the confession stated by the police at the hearing. In fact, the person who killed the reporter was the reporter. At that time, the reporter just waved his arms to greet them...
The previous police cars and the police cars that rushed past the siblings have made two adults with normal IQs realize that something terrible must have happened.
When the police car left, Xia Li suddenly said something thought-provoking, "When we lived in the Lower City, we never felt so nervous or uneasy. Didn't we say that the security in the Central City is better?"
Charles also answered a more thought-provoking answer, "That's because life has a distinction between high and low!"
If you lose something cheap, you will lose it. It's like if someone loses a dollar, he may not care. Instead, he will talk about it with a smile. After all, losing money is also a very interesting topic of conversation, but if a person loses 10,000 yuan or more, they will be disgusting when they see anyone except cursing themselves and the police.
