I returned to the lounge from the tea area, and before going to bed, I observed Lao Chen carefully.

This guy is still sleeping, and listening to his rhythmic snoring, I think he is sleeping quite soundly.

As for whether he was really sleepwalking in the video just now, I don't dare to ask now. I'd better wait until dawn tomorrow to ask!

I lay on the small bed and continued to sleep...

This night, I don't know why, maybe because of the unfamiliar environment, it felt like time passed really long.

After lying down, it seemed that I slept for a long time again...

It's finally dawn!

The waiters at the bathing center began to wake up the guests one by one.

This is already the second day. I can't buy a package ticket and stay here forever.

Lao Chen and I also woke up, then went to the locker room to change clothes, and walked out of the bathing center.

I checked the time and saw that it was 7 o'clock in the morning. The sun outside had already come out and it was shining brightly, which meant that the weather today was pretty good.

When I walked out of the door, I was illuminated by the sun and felt warm all over my body. The tension from last night was swept away.

So I became bolder and asked Lao Chen: "Lao Chen, did you sleepwalk again last night?!"

Upon hearing my question, Lao Chen immediately shook his head and said, "Are you kidding? I fell asleep all the time last night and slept very soundly. Hey, why do you keep asking me this? Do you have something to say to me?"

!”

"This..." I just opened my mouth.

Originally, I wanted to tell Lao Chen that the police came to me last night and asked me to see the photos of the corpse, but for some reason, I suddenly didn’t want to say anything.

Because I was looking forward to returning to my normal life, once I told Lao Chen, Lao Chen was afraid, and maybe he would pester me and ask questions.

I really don't want to explain, it's best to let these things go as soon as possible.

Lao Chen saw that I was hesitant to speak, so he asked me again: "Hey, Xiaoma, what's wrong with you?!"

"Actually, it's nothing. Forget it, let's talk about it later. I'll go back now..."

After saying that, I walked straight towards a bus stop opposite.

Lao Chen asked again: "It's still early. Come on, get in my car. I'll give you a ride and you'll still have time to go to work?"

"No need, the place where I live is not on the same road as your store, I'd better take the bus by myself!"

From the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to get into Lao Chen’s car, because last night, Lao Chen mysteriously sleepwalked again, and now I feel that Lao Chen is becoming more and more suspicious?

Therefore, I don’t plan to get too close to him in the future.

"Okay, it's quite convenient to take the bus here, so that's it, I'll go to the store first, and I'll call you if I need anything!"

Lao Chen said something behind my back. I didn't say a word or look back, I just nodded.

Seeing Lao Chen leaving in his car, I breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

Before long, a bus stopped and I got on it.

If this time is considered the morning rush hour, the bus should be overcrowded.

However, the bathing center is a relatively remote place, and although there were many passengers sitting in the car, I still found an empty seat at the back and sat down.

The bus is quite far from where I live, it probably takes at least 40 minutes.

In order to kill time, I took out my phone and looked around...

At this time, I thought of the video that the waiter sent me last night, and I opened it and watched it carefully again.

It's broad daylight now, and there are so many passengers on the bus, so when I watch this video again, I don't feel as nervous and scary as I did last night.

The video was very short, only 19 seconds, and it was played quickly.

I didn't see it clearly the first time, so I replayed it again.

However……

When I replayed it for the third time, I suddenly noticed a very small detail...

What details?!

At the last second when the video was about to end, I saw that there seemed to be something wrong with Lao Chen's hand on the table?

It seems that the hand is not empty, it seems to be holding something in it?!

That thing is very inconspicuous and very small.

If I hadn't watched the video multiple times, I would never have noticed...

After discovering this detail, I immediately paused the screen, took a screenshot with my mobile phone, and then enlarged the screenshot to observe carefully...

result……

When I took a closer look, I immediately gasped!!!

Because I saw that a small part of the thing held in Lao Chen's hand was exposed from between his fingers...

It seemed to be a bright yellow metal!

If it weren't for the bright spots illuminated by the light, I wouldn't have been able to spot the blurry video...

Bright yellow metal, and highlights?

The first thing I thought of was that...

That’s right!

It’s Mr. He’s amulet!!!

At that time, Mr. He was lying on the hospital bed, and the strange amulet he took out from under the pillow was made of gold wire. It looked golden and valuable!

The memory I had at that time was very profound!!!

Could it be...

Is Lao Chen in the video really holding Mr. He’s pendant that the police couldn’t find?!

So, the police failed to find Mr. He's amulet at the scene of the fall. Was this item secretly hidden by Lao Chen?!

hiss……

Old Chen, Old Chen...

You hide it so damn deep!!!

When I felt that I discovered something suspicious about Lao Chen, I immediately picked up the phone again and looked for Luo Feng's phone number among the missed calls.

Yes!

The first time I thought of calling the police, I told the police everything that Lao Chen did, and asked the black-faced Luo Feng to investigate this dishonest guy Lao Chen!

But……

When I found Luo Feng's mobile phone number, I didn't have the courage to call it?!

Why?

Because at this time, I suddenly thought of a major issue related to my livelihood!

That's because Lao Chen hasn't paid me the 8,000 yuan bonus he promised me yet?

If I tell the police now about Lao Chen stealing the amulet, Lao Chen will definitely be considered a crime to some extent. If I offend Lao Chen, he will definitely not give me the money.

Some people may ask, isn’t it just 8,000 yuan? As for that, 8,000 yuan is still money, so what happens if you don’t use it anymore?

Yeah yeah!

What you said is right!

8,000 yuan is indeed not a lot!

But for me, it’s not just 8,000 yuan, it’s life!!!

These days, I haven't received any graphic design jobs in my mailbox.

In other words, if I don’t get the 8,000 yuan in dividends, maybe next month, I will have to drink the northwest wind!

Yes, when I was a test sleeper, Lao Chen gave me 1,500 yuan in wages, but don’t forget, I spent 800 yuan to buy that copper bell, and then cracked Jasmine’s mobile phone and was blackmailed by Er Miao.

Got 200 yuan.

Now, the 1,500 is not much left.
Chapter completed!
