Chapter 129 The little man in red is gone

I haven't seen Uncle Meow for many days since I performed a ritual for Lao Chen on the top floor of the department store.

This little fat old man is still as handsome as before, always smiling and looking harmless.

Luo Feng looked at Uncle Meow and then at Er Meow. He felt that the two men looked very similar in terms of height and facial features. After identification, he confirmed that they were definitely father and son.

Luo Feng was impatient and went straight to the topic. He placed the black box on the table and took out the music box inside.

Ermiao had seen this music box last night, so he didn't find it strange at all.

However, Ermiao didn't know that there was something wrong with the music box, and he had never seen the little devil in red inside...

Although Uncle Meow, as the younger brother of Old Man Qian, is good at subduing monsters and catching monsters, he is very good at repairing mechanical antiques composed of delicate parts.

Maybe some people think that music boxes have nothing to do with clocks?

Then you are wrong!

In ancient times, clocks were called "self-ringing clocks" and were also imported. Moreover, the foreigner who invented the music box was himself a clockmaker.

Therefore, when I brought this music box to Uncle Meow today, I found the right person.

Uncle Meow's professionalism is not only seen in his attentive eyes and stubble, but also in the repair tools he takes out, which look very professional.

It was a particularly delicate toolbox, silver-white in color, which opened like a peacock's tail with a gentle pull. It was also three-layered, and contained all kinds of small tools from large to small, arranged in an orderly manner.

Uncle Miao's workbench is also extremely professional. I am mainly talking about his desk lamp. I don't know the brand of the light bulb. It is very bright when turned on, and it is not dazzling. It is as bright and warm as the sun at noon.

Before starting, Uncle Meow put a monocular magnifying glass on his head, then moved the lens to one eye, adjusted the direction of the light, and started operating...

Seeing that Uncle Meow's professional skills are of no use, I can only lament that technology is developing so fast. Uncle Meow, an outstanding clock repair master, has still been replaced by mobile phones and electronic watches. How sad!

In desperation, Uncle Meow had no choice but to change his job and become a magician...

However, Ermiao has learned to repair mobile phones. Does this mean he has inherited his father's craftsmanship, changed from mechanical to electronic, and has also kept pace with the times?

Well, this is inheritance!!!

While waiting for Er Miao's father to repair the music box, I asked Luo Feng: "Officer Luo, you still don't believe there is dirt in the music box, do you?"

"I...I don't believe...I don't believe what can you do to me?"

Although Luo Feng said this, his spirit seemed to have been shaken.

Uncle Meow's skills in this area are very good, much better than a half-hearted master of catching ghosts. Within half an hour, Uncle Meow had opened all the delicate mechanisms of the music box, and then removed all the small parts inside.

Luo Feng and I walked over and saw that Uncle Meow had placed all the parts on a piece of black velvet, from large to small, and they were arranged very neatly.

After all, it is an old object from two hundred years ago, and many parts have some dust. Uncle Meow is using special tools to clean and remove dust.

After cleaning, Uncle Meow will install them back, and the music box will definitely return to normal.

However, I stared carefully at the hundreds of small parts on the black velvet cloth, but I didn't find the most important one, which was the tiny little girl doll made of bones wearing a red gauze skirt...

hiss……

Why isn’t that thing available?!

Because it is the most important!

I asked Uncle Meow: "Are there any parts missing?!"

Uncle Meow checked the desktop, then looked down at his feet...

He sat here attentively and did not move. Me, Er Miao and Luo Feng were all watching. If any parts fell off, we would definitely find it.

But in fact, there really isn’t!

Uncle Meow asked me: "Now that you ask, what parts do you think are missing?"

I told Uncle Meow that when I opened the music box last night, I saw the small cover pop open and a little girl in a red dress rising up from inside and dancing.

It's not actually dancing, it's just spinning in circles to the music.

But now, why is this little thing missing after it was dismantled?

When Er Miao was in Lao Chen's car, he also saw it, so Er Miao can testify for me.

There will be no problems with Uncle Meow's operation, so the problem can only lie with Luo Feng. After all, this thing has been in Luo Feng's hands all night.

So, we looked at Luo Feng together, and Luo Feng quickly explained: "Don't look at me. My colleagues in the technical department said that they did not open this music box, so there is no way that any parts were lost..."

Uncle Miao agreed with Luo Feng's statement. He nodded and said, "Officer Luo is right. No one has ever opened this music box. I was the first person to open it..."

This is weird???

So, why did that little doll disappear?

Could it be that it has already run away...

Hear this...

Uncle Miao has already sensed that this music box is more than just an antique, especially from the weird looks on Luo Feng's and mine's faces.

Don’t forget, Uncle Meow is not only a watch repairman, he is also a master!!!

"Is there something wrong with this music box? I mean...that...that problem?!" Uncle Meow deliberately asked the question tactfully.

When asked by Uncle Miao, Luo Feng subconsciously looked away from Uncle Miao's eyes and quickly lowered his head.

Maybe Luo Feng doesn't want to admit it because of his identity, but I don't care.

So, I told Uncle Meow all the terrifying experiences I had after bringing this music box home last night, and by the way, I attributed the incident of Luo Feng’s car crashing his head to the music box.

Although Luo Feng still wanted to make a few excuses, such as emphasizing that the head-knocking might be his hallucination, at this moment there was still a large piece of white gauze taped to his forehead.

No matter how hard he tried to defend himself, he seemed weak.

After Uncle Meow heard that there was a little ghost in the music box, instead of being nervous, his eyes lit up!

Because Uncle Meow's magic stick attribute has been activated, he seems to feel that another business is coming to his door!

"Don't panic, this matter is easy to handle," Uncle Meow took off the magnifying glass from his face, rubbed his hands and said, "I'll tell if there's something weird about this music box... I'll know if I try it..."

Luo Feng and I looked at each other. Since Uncle Miao said we could try it, let’s try it!

Luo Feng agreed, and Uncle Meow said to Er Meow: "Hey, go to the kitchen and get a porcelain bowl, wash it clean, and pour a bowl of water..."

Upon hearing this...

I feel familiar...

Why did he take the water bowl again and use this trick again?
