The protagonist always calls me in the middle of the night

Close to the end of get off work time, there are still one or two tables left in the store, the working day is not too busy, and the follow-up does not need to be responsible for the follow-up.

Zhou Wangshiman was sitting at an empty table looking at his mobile phone, approached and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Shi Man didn't lift his head: "Beautiful man."

Zhou Yu: "..."

He pulled a chair, and when he sat down, he looked at the page full of fingers sliding. It was not full of muscular men as expected, but text pictures.

"A person died in the school." Shi Man said calmly after reading the article.

Zhou Yu was taken aback: "What's going on?"

Shi Man shook his head: "I don't know, the school reported sudden death."

Zhou Yu immediately stood up and said to Shi Man, "Go back and rest early."

Going to school during the day and working part-time at night is considered overwork.

The person who died was a student in the school, Shiman read the comments below the notice: "I think..."

Screams came from behind, the two turned their heads together, and Zhou Yu rushed into the back kitchen first.

Shi Man blocked a guest, and stepped forward to block him when he picked up his phone and wanted to go back.

When Zhou Yu came to the back kitchen, Li Ren was not breathing.

The person was lying in bloodstains, with no visible wounds on the front, and the blood that spread from the back of his head had coagulated and changed color. It was obvious that the person had been killed for some time.Beside Li Ren lay a kitchen knife, the blade was stained with blood, the murder weapon was undoubtedly.

Zhou Yu didn't rush forward, glanced at it, and saw the faint black air on the kitchen knife. There was no doubt about the man-made harm, but there were also sneaky interventions.

He looked at the bewildered human being who had screamed aside and said, "Uncle Liu, call the police."

At this time, the proprietress was not there, except for him and Shi Man, only Lao Liu, who was in charge of the part-time bookkeeping in the warehouse, was left.

Old Liu stood there in a daze, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse: "I...I don't know why this happened, he was fine at noon..."

"Call the police first." Zhou Yu patted him on the shoulder.

The police arrived quickly, the store was blocked, and the proprietress arrived within 10 minutes of the incident.

The lights of police cars and ambulances made the street more crowded and noisy. There was always a shortage of people joining in the fun, and more and more people were watching outside the store.

Outside the blockade, a person exclaimed loudly: "Is someone dead in the store?"

Then, the man said again: "Tsk tsk, it's no wonder that I was eating in this restaurant in the evening, and I was harassed maliciously by the waiter, and the look in his eyes seemed to be eating me. Fortunately, I ran away quickly, otherwise I would be afraid today. It’s time to explain it here.”

Someone questioned the man's words, but his tone was a little weak: "No way, this store has a good reputation, and the waiters are young and senior with good attitudes."

"Don't believe it? Think about it, this kind of thing can happen in an ordinary food stall? It's a murder case."

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." The skeptic spoke slowly, shaking his head, with reservations.

The man pointed at the store with the arrogance of a bystander, which caused the silent onlookers to start discussing.

It was made up indiscriminately, full of malice, and Zhou Yu knew that it was the person who had taught him a lesson with soup and fists today.

The man's voice soon became inaudible. Zhou Yu looked back and recognized the man who was tilting his head and muttering to another person two meters away.

Out of the shadow's control in such a short period of time, and at this time, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed fiercely.

It was hard for the man to keep his quarrel from the police's attention, and he was taken to the police station for investigation together with the people involved in the case.

The police adjusted the cameras in the store including the kitchen in time. The footage in the video was locked on an hour before the old Liu entered the kitchen and found Li Ren's body. Li Ren walked to the blind spot of the camera. The head appeared in the camera with blood.

Then he let go of the knife and fell to the ground.

Except for Zhou Yu and Shiman who delivered dishes from front to back an hour ago, no second person appeared or left the kitchen until Lao Liu came in.

And the man kept claiming that there was something wrong with Shiman, the waiter, and his superficially well-behaved remarks were proved to be pure disturbances by competitors, illogical and without clear evidence.

After investigation by the police, the staff in the store, including Zhou Yu and Shi Man, did not have the conditions and motives for committing the crime, and the case was full of weirdness, and there is no solution for the time being.

After the incident, the store was closed, and the reopening time is uncertain. After experiencing this kind of incident, no matter what type of business it is, it is difficult to continue, not to mention the constant voice of malicious rumors.

The man who was splashed with soup by Zhou Yu deliberately blamed Shi Man as the cause of Li Ren's murder, or the initial disturbance was also intentional.

The man's rumors are getting more and more outrageous.

After coming out of the police station, it was close to three o'clock in the morning.When Zhou Yu was questioned alone, what he was most worried about was the teleportation that might happen anytime after midnight. Fortunately, he and Shi Man lived in the next room, and the two of them were separated by a wall, sitting against the wall. There was a picture of a living person like him jumping out of the wall out of thin air.

Zhou Yu received a call at this time, and the proprietress called: "Zhou Yu, is Shiman by your side?"

Zhou Yu glanced at the people walking beside him and said, "Let's go together, what does Sister Chen have to say?"

A sigh came from the other side: "The man who made trouble at noon is following Shi Manman. After he came out of the police station, he spread rumors that Shi Man has ghosts on his body."

Zhou Yu gripped the phone tightly.

"It was said that Shiman's body was controlled by Shiman at noon, and he clamored that Shiman was either a ghost or a villain who knew ghost skills. He said that Li Ren's murder was also controlled by Shiman."

"I beat the person at noon." Zhou Yu's tone was heavy.

It seems that the lesson given is not enough.

The proprietress on the opposite side was stunned: "Don't be impulsive, no one believes what he said, I called to tell you to pay attention to Shiman, look at him more, and don't be bullied, although I don't understand, how did this accident happen?" Someone was targeting him."

"I see, thank you, Sister Chen, for reminding me."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Man asked, "Sister Chen is over too?"

"Well, Sister Chen explained briefly."

Zhou Yu looked at Shiman in silence all the way, and the movement of raising his hand to his shoulder stopped for a moment, then turned around and held Shiman's head up, and looked closely at his pair of eyes that were usually bright: "Scared to cry? "

Shi Man allowed Zhou Yu to hold his head, his unmoving eyes showed a strange moment after seeing Zhou Yu's gaze, and he nodded: "Well, are you coaxing?"

Innocent and serious, really like a kid asking for sugar.

Zhou Yu felt his heart was bounced by a lump of softness, a little itchy, but also a little jumpy.

He withdrew his hand, and the arc of the corner of his mouth enlarged unknowingly. He couldn't help pinching his cheeks full of seriousness, and pulled again, and said with a smile, "How to coax? Buy some candy?"

Shi Man ignored the teasing in his words, and said seriously: "The sugar is not enough." Without waiting for Zhou Yu's answer, he changed the subject: "What do you think about Uncle Li?"

"Man-made, but sneaky meddling is not ruled out."

Li Ren was murdered, maybe there were signs two days ago, Li Ren was not gregarious at all, a slightly abnormal behavior was not surprising to outsiders, and they didn't get along much in private, so it was difficult to predict the upcoming danger .

"acquaintance?"

Zhou Yu frowned: "It's possible, but it's not right. I suspect part of it is aimed at you."

He has always been straightforward, with speculation in his heart, and he said it in front of the person involved, but he didn't consider whether the young man would accept it. He quickly glanced at the people around him, but was puzzled when he saw Shi Man's outstretched hand.

"Scared, take me home."

Zhou Yu laughed, did not refuse, held the hand, and led him home.

......

"Brother Zhou, is it a little cold?"

Zhou Yu who slept on the floor: "No, I'm used to sleeping on the floor."

Although the weather has turned cold, he has recently become stronger and can hold on.

Shi Man inexplicably heard the grievance from this sentence, he put the pillow vertically in the middle, separated a space for one person, patted the bed and said: "Sleeping here, sleeping on the ground for a long time is not good for your health."

Zhou Yu still refused. Although he is not good at masculinity, he still has to be careful.Furthermore, it's okay to be in the same room, but if they share the same bed, he's afraid that Shi Man will lose control.

The sky was slightly bright, and after lying down for less than two hours, Zhou Yu got up quietly and went out.

The person on the bed opened his eyes, turned over and closed them again.

Zhou Yu found the store where the man who spread the rumors was located according to the route he had observed in advance.

It is said that he is helping out in a store run by a relative, and sleeps in a cubicle in the store at night.

Zhou Yu pried open the back door of the store and took a rough look.

Small in scale, the kitchen is connected to the sleeping compartment.

The door of the cubicle was unlocked. Zhou Yu pushed the door open. The people inside slept very well. There were no sofas, tables and chairs in the room, and a bed was piled up with personal belongings.

Zhou Yu tore off a piece of clothing, and took the lead in covering the face of the sleeping man. The man didn't notice it, but when he felt pain in his leg, he woke up suddenly and found that his face was covered by someone.

"Oh, help... ah..." He struggled twice, yelled, and then passed out from the pain.

Zhou Yu easily broke the man's leg, cleaned up the traces of his visit, and it was already daylight when he returned.

He opened the door and glanced at the person on the bed. He took the ingredients he bought on the way back, turned and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Shiman looked at the two big bowls of red and green vegetable porridge on the table, and wanted to run away.

He sat down and said to Zhou Yu: "Brother Zhou worked hard for getting up early and cooking."

"No, it's very simple." Zhou Yu said indifferently.

Shi Manxin said, it's very simple, chop up the vegetables and radishes, add a handful of rice and boil it in the pot.

Shi Man didn't say any more, and just got up before Zhou Yu's cooking.

After the two finished packing, Zhou Yu stayed at home and Shi Man went to school.

The work of the food stall is basically over, and even if it reopens, it will not continue to be in the original position.

But before leaving completely, Zhou Yu went to meet someone, Zhao Qi.

On the day of the incident, Zhao Qi was in the front hall like him, and went in and out of the back kitchen normally, and did not stay in it for too long.

"Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Qi opened the door, Zhou Yu quickly glanced behind him, living alone, the room was a bit messy, but it was much neater than the room of the man whose leg was broken by him.

When Zhao Qi saw Zhou Yu, he was surprised, his eyes flickered for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

"What's up?"

Zhao Qi had always been cheerful and generous, and after Li Ren's death, his face would inevitably show a gloomy look.

"Sister Chen asked me to take a look. Uncle Li's family came to pick up the things he left in the store, but they couldn't find them in the store. I think Uncle Li has a good relationship with you. Will he be here..."

He walked forward while talking, Zhao Qi panicked and slammed the door shut when Zhou Yu approached.

Zhou Yu stood against the door, quickly turned around and entered the room, restrained Zhao Qi's arms, and pressed him against the wall.
