Chapter 116: see corpse

At 8:00 p.m., two customers appeared at the door of Wen A's hair salon.

The guests are unfamiliar, but look at the clothes and appearance, should be the villagers of nearby villages, one of them also leaning on a blind cane, a pair of gray-white eyes open.

They knocked on the glass door of the hair salon.

Unlike the long wait in the daytime, Wen A hair salon opened its doors at once at night, and there was still Lulu standing at the door, who looked them over and said, "Are you two washing your hair?"

Yu He had never been to such a place, but he was smart after all and answered tentatively, "Massage."

"Oh ...... sit down first."

Lulu led Yu He to take a seat on a cheap hairdressing stool, Yu He swept the floor, there was not a hair on the floor ......

The rest of his eyes began to look closely at the salon. The salon was divided into two halves, inside and outside, with stairs, and it looked like there were cubicles upstairs. The outer room they are now in is a very normal barbershop look, but those scissors look rusted, apparently completely decorative.

Not far from the sofa, lazily sitting in a row of women, not too good-looking, but very provocative clothes exposed. They are swiping their phones, while occasionally raising their eyes to look at them both.

"Does this one want a massage, too?" Lulu began to look at Qingcheng Xie, her eyes hovering over his gray contact lens-wearing eyes.

Yu He said, "Yes, it's his first time. Don't scare him. What are the prices of 'shoulder and neck' and 'full set' here?"

He is also a temporary search from the Internet coded language, not much certainty inside, but the face pretended to be calm.

Lulu was quiet for a moment, and in this silent time, Yu He's heart gradually tightened.

Finally Lulu smiled a little: "Shoulder and neck 80, full set 200. you see which sister want to do it for you?"

Yu He is also really wild, thought, towards Lulu blooming a very well disguised, lewd smile: "Can you play double flying?"

Lulu: "That's going to add fifty oh each."

Yu He : "So expensive ah, sister does not make sense ah, I do not return to you to save the room?"

Lulu: "The excitement, not many people want to play this way. If you don't believe me, ask another family."

Yu He is really a poor man: "Then it's 20 cheaper. New customer, give some face, come back next time."

"Ten pieces."

"Deal."

"......" Qingcheng Xie didn't expect Yu He the bugger to be so good at pretending, but of course he himself was no better, wearing contact lenses like the blind man in "The Tuner", he walked cautiously, first touching the ground with his blind stick, then slowly moving forward. Then he slowly moves forward.

Yu He asked two girls who looked the weakest, one of them came forward to help him: "Brother, be careful, the stairs are narrow, let me take you."

The four of them went upstairs together.

The second floor is a number of small rooms separated by wooden boards, those boards are not much thicker than paper, sound insulation can be imagined.

At this point, there is not much entertainment in the county, eighty yuan to start with the decompression for the villagers, although not cheap, but after all, it is exciting and can be a good comfort to those singles. So there are already a few customers in the store, and the sounds of male and female love are coming out of it unabashedly.

The girls who took them upstairs were very young, but seemed numb to this life, no longer shy or embarrassed at all.

When you enter the door and drop the bolt, inside the compartment are two beds and two red sofas of artificial velvet.

Girl: "Please ask the two brothers to take off their clothes."

Yu He laughed: "Ouch, my friend has never been to this kind of place, you guys slow down, don't scare him, press the shoulder first."

This line of work for a long time, all kinds of people can meet.

The girls are used to seeing such men who come for the first time and are still a bit restrained, so they don't think anything of it.

In the service industry, it's always about the customer.

The two girls therefore seated them on the scarlet armchair, which was facing the dressing mirror and had a view of the entire house.

The girls started giving massages to the guests.

Said to be a massage, but the people who come here are all drunk, naturally do not expect the girl can have any professional approach, just chatting, a little physical contact, and then little by little to melt away the male customers of the Bureau.

A "big brother, where are you from ah? Open up the situation, a "big brother, want to be comfortable to talk to me" to throw a hint.

Every line of work has a process, and they are no exception.

Qingcheng Xie did not say much throughout, long eyelashes covering the gray eyes, one hand on the side of the face, only faintly listening to their dialogue.

Yu He, a person, is really good at learning. After living in this place for a few days, he can already communicate with each other in a little dialect.

The girls quickly took a liking to the new guest in his witty and humorous words, and began to unconsciously leak information while getting a massage.

They both went to Renheng High School at one time, but not for long.

But when Yu He asked them why they dropped out, one girl didn't say anything, and the other, after a moment of silence, smiled lightly.

"My family wants me to get married, so I won't study anymore."

"Then you ......"

"My husband likes to gamble, many men here like to gamble, the underground money bank gambling, a night can lose 200,000 to 200,000, the family's entire savings to compensate is not enough." The woman gently squeezed Yu He's shoulder, "My husband let me out to make money."

It may sound unbelievable, but Yu He has read a lot and seen a lot.

He knows that in some places, especially in remote rural areas, this sad thing happens from time to time. Husbands are idle, they let their wives to do that not on the stage of the hook, some even the husband himself to pimp, as for the money earned, naturally to the man all, women are just a have to use flesh and blood to nourish the family tools.

But when I really face such victims directly, the tremor inside is still great.

A woman drops her eyes, pauses for a moment, and says, "Big Brother ......"

Regardless of their age, they all call their customers big brother.

"When you do it later, can you be a little more gentle." The woman, who had seen that Yu He was good at talking, finally couldn't help but show some weakness, "I'm actually more than three months pregnant."

Yu He was even more surprised: "So you still come to this kind of place?"

"No come no more money. The family has no money at all, and still has to pay the debt he owes." The woman said blandly, but her eyes have been vaguely tears.

Yu He was abruptly speechless.

In this moment, he suddenly thought of Yuzhu Lu.

When Yuzhu Lu also fell into the dust, day after day, until numbness.

In that desperate situation, it was the man behind the scenes who asked her one more question, "Why do you want to come to such a place?

It wasn't really anything too gentle or too concerned, maybe the man was just asking casually, as he is now.

But Yuzhu Lu has been treated like an animal for so long that such a statement can make her remember that she is still a living person.

Yu He said, "...forget it, then or else-"

The woman sniffed, as if she was frightened by something, and before he could finish his sentence, she suddenly flung herself down on her knees.

Her actions startled everyone except Qingcheng Xie.

Qingcheng Xie remembered that he was blind, so he sat motionlessly.

The woman pulled the corner of Yu He's clothes: "Brother, do not change the person, okay? You, you take me as I did not say anything before, you want to do what you want, I just came back to work these days, I do not look so good, nothing want me, if you change again, then the boss lady will be so disappointed in me, I, I ......"

At the end of her sentence, she was speechless.

Yu He : "...I mean, otherwise forget it, you can just press my shoulder and talk with me today."

The woman froze: "Ah ......"

"I originally wanted to come with my friends to take a break, you know, people like us, ah, no money, no daughter-in-law, not many women are willing to talk to us. So it's okay not to do anything this time, it's not easy for all of us, so let's make friends, and the next time it's convenient, you can give me a little cheaper in private."

The woman's eyes were red, touched and disturbed: "Then, how is that nice? I .... I have to not give you with my hand..."

Yu He : "Nothing, just talk about it. Brother, what do you say?"

Qingcheng Xie leaned back on the red velvet sofa and responded indifferently.

Yu He smiled and pointed to Qingcheng Xie, said to the woman, "Look, this big brother he did not want much, hard I dragged to see."

Qingcheng Xie : "......"

After such a conversation, the distance between them and the two girls invariably drew a little closer.

Yu He then asked more questions, and they answered in more detail.

After a few rounds of conversation, they had a general grasp of the situation in this county and even this store.

Under Qingli County, there are three large villages, Yijia Village, Zhuangjia Village, and Duanjia Village, where most of the residents are lazy and unpleasant, especially Yijia Village. The bureaucratic system of the whole county is also very corrupt, and the village school and main road were built by Yuzhu Lu when he was the secretary of the County Committee.

The men in the family do not work, and when they return to the house and beat their wives, the women either suffer in silence, or risk running away, or, like these two girls, have to sell themselves to earn a little to support the family.

In this county, there are several other hair salons like "Wen A Barber Shop", and their composition is particularly monstrous.

In the case of Wen A hairdresser, the owner is Yuzhu Lu's ex-husband Qiang Yi.

When Yuzhu Lu was falsely accused and imprisoned, Qiang Yi moved in with a young woman before his divorce was finalized.

When Yuzhu Lu was released from prison, her own daughter no longer knew her, and the young woman entered the house as the mistress of the house and faced the "prisoner". Heartbroken, Yuzhu Lu left Qingli County and never returned to the family home for many years after that.

Qiang Yi lived with his new wife for a few years, and they had a daughter, who is now Lulu. However, Qiang Yi is not a hardworking person. When she was with Yuzhu Lu, Yuzhu Lu was very strong and strict, so Qiang Yi did not dare to be lazy.

But the little wife is not half as imposing as Yuzhu Lu?

Slowly, Qiang Yi's weaknesses that were subdued by Yuzhu Lu began to resurface. He is idle, addicted to gambling, and when he loses, he beats his wife and scolds his daughter, and when he wins, he has an affair with a prostitute.

The family's savings were soon in the red.

The young wife is a very weak and extremely selfish person, she can not stand this life, in one night her husband did not return, she left her own Lulu and Yuzhu Lu born Wen A, alone on the train to the big city. She wants to live a good life, but she is not capable of doing so, and it is not easy to get a man with a child, so she decides to write off her past and pretend to be a rural working girl who has never been married, and with her beauty, she is not worried about not having a reliable and honest man in the big city.

Mom ran away, leaving only a maniacal father.

Qiang Yi was angry and hated, and spent her days drinking away her sorrows, beating and scolding her two daughters. The eldest daughter, Yuzhu Lu's daughter, had grown up by this time and wanted to get out of this misery, so like her stepmother, she bought a ticket and went to the nearest city to look for a job.

But I don't know if it was because of her limited knowledge or because she couldn't get used to that kind of wandering, but after some time, she came back.

After she came back, Wen A's temperament changed a lot. She approached her father and said to him, "You want to make money lying down, right? I have an idea, but I need your help, you buy the ancestral property, and we will exchange it for a commercial and residential building. I have a good idea of the place, listen to me, you will get money fast."

Thus, Wen A barber store was opened.

Qiang Yi is the big boss and takes most of the revenue from the store. Wen A and her sister, Lulu, take care of the girls in the store.

The more money you earn, Qiang Yi bought a car, the purchase of the most trendy cell phones, peacefully spend the dirty money, a foot of gas to the town, to the village, to the higher-end nightclubs, more luxurious underground money bank spending.

He is also gradually good to his two daughters, before full of "born daughter is inferior to male", now know that his daughter can also earn money to support him, mention their daughters will be full of smiles, praise their daughters are two treasures - as for those girls who work in his store, of course he knows They are also some man's daughter, or even wife.

But so what?

They can exchange their labor for chips on his gambling table, for the beauty in his arms, and he suffers so rightfully. Qiang Yi spent less and less time in Qingli County, and most of his friends in the village faded away. He wore fashionable brands and watches, and suddenly felt that his value had soared, and that the small village could not accommodate him as a golden phoenix. He spent a lot of time hanging out in the city, flirting with women in the city, almost forgetting his origins.

-- as long as his daughters remember to call him regularly.

Yu He felt disgusted after listening to it.

Because of his own family's misfortune, he was disgusted by parents who raised their children better than dogs.

He asked, "So now Qiang Yi is living outside?"

"Yeah, he hasn't been back for a long time."

Yu He asked again, "What about Wen A?"

"Sister Wen does come around the store every day, but she usually comes late, brother is to meet her?"

Yu He, of course, wants to meet Awen Yi. Only when he sees her in person will he know if the mysterious woman from last night is her, and if she is, why she sent them the file so quietly, and where the file came from.

But after listening to their narrative, he suddenly felt that Awen Yi was something else, and that there was a very bizarre break in Awen Yi's life in the shampooer's account, the one where she first escaped to the city.

Before she fled to the city, it sounds like she was a relatively helpless person who didn't quite dare to be tough in front of her father.

But when she returned, she was able to give orders to Qiang Yi and induce him to sell his ancestral property for such a business - what did she go through during those years outside?

Yu He wants to know more about Awen Yi, but unfortunately that's all the shampoo girls know.

He looked at Qingcheng Xie, although Qingcheng Xie is wearing gray mist contact lenses, others can not see any bright light in his eyes, but Yu He is too familiar with Qingcheng Xie, he can from Qingcheng Xie's every move, even sitting posture, aura to read some of the other side of the idea.

He realized that Qingcheng Xie was thinking the same thing as he was at the moment.

As expected, after a few minutes, Qingcheng Xie, who hadn't said much the whole time and was just listening quietly, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I need to use the bathroom. How to go?"

The barber store does not have a separate bathroom in each compartment, the shampoo girl carefully showed him the way, at the end of some uneasiness: "Brother, or I will help you to go over."

Yu He got up and laughed, "He that ...... may still be embarrassed, or I will accompany him."

The lady rarely saw such formal guests, and with a puff of a smile, she opened the door for them, repeated the route to them once again, and let the two masters out.

"Even if we see Awen Yi, she may not tell us the truth." Qingcheng Xie, after making sure the two hairdressers didn't follow, calmly, in a low voice, instructed with Yu He, "So while you're at it, look around this house first to see if there are any clues. If this file is real and the mystery woman yesterday is indeed Awen Yi, then there is no way there is no connection between them. You take the left, I'll take the right. We don't have much time, let's split up and check."

Yu He looked at his gray eyes, "How come you're wearing invisibility and still so sharp?"

Qingcheng Xie raised his hand to touch his eyelid and frowned slightly: "Is it not pretending enough?"

Yu He laughed: "No, it's very similar. I'm just saying your aura hasn't changed. It's still like a strip."

"......" Qingcheng Xie didn't have time to chat with him much and said, "Go on."

The two men then split up.

Wen A barber store on the second floor is almost all cubicles, Qingcheng Xie walked around, did not see anything worth noticing, but when he reached the end, he found there is a narrow section of stairs.

The house has an attic.

The attic is not large, there is a desk, a few rows of bookshelves, some miscellaneous items stacked in a mess, and nothing else.

But I don't know why, Qingcheng Xie always felt that this place is strange, and also emits a faint odor, to his experience as a medical student, he immediately judged that this is the smell of something rotten.

Qingcheng Xie looked around the house carefully and realized what was odd -

Despite the strong smell of rottenness, there is nothing food-like in this attic, except for paper, metal, or just wood. None of these things can breed such a stench.

Where is this smell coming from?

Qingcheng Xie slowly backed up and retreated to the entrance of the attic and surveyed the whole room from the doorway, and after some time, he found the more bizarre part of this attic ......

Wall.

Although there are bookshelves in the way, but standing in the doorway to look closely can be found, the most leaning in the color of the wall is obviously different from the other two sides. The paint is pink and white, and it looks like it was newly painted.

Qingcheng Xie walked toward the wall, moved the bookshelf halfway, and then - like a dark theater pulling back the curtain slowly - he saw that a large part of the apparently freshly painted wall was damp and peeling, as if it had some kind of hanging moss. When he moved the entire bookcase out of the way and returned to the door to look, Qingcheng Xie's whole body was stunned.

That wet mark ......

The blur is a human form!

Some kind of horrible thought came out of his mind, Qingcheng Xie looked at his wristwatch, nearly ten minutes had passed since he left the room, but if not now forensic investigation, and then to turn back is almost no chance. So he made a decision and went up and knocked along the fuzzy figure, and found a hollow drum at the bottom.

There are empty drums where it is easy to pry open, Qingcheng Xie from the desk to find a utility knife, little by little to scrape off the outside of the powder paint, found that the bottom is a temporary seal on the board, he did not take much effort to chisel the board open, take the light of the phone to the inside a light -

With the heavy stench at the same time to meet him, is a pair of tan men's cowhide shoes, shoes above a cut has been highly rotten foot neck ......

There really is a body in that wall!!!

However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"...... What are you looking at."
