Chapter 704 Missing? Stolen?

Didi

Lu Yiyun was woken up by the alarm clock and groped to turn it off.

Five minutes later.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

She was woken up by the alarm clock on her phone again.

This time she couldn't turn off the phone. In order not to oversleep in the morning, she put her phone on the dining table before going to bed. Unless she had a two-meter-long arm, she couldn't turn off the alarm from the bed.

She rubbed her eyes and found her glasses from the pillow to put them on. Jasmine lay on her quilt, woke up by her movements, jumped off the bed, and screamed like a saying good morning, and then went to the basin to drink water.

"Good morning, Jasmine." She said yawning.

Next, dress, get up, wash, soak cereals... The movements day after day have formed a habit, and they can be completed smoothly without brain intervention. When she sat next to the table and desk, she scooped up the cereals and sent them into her mouth, her brain gradually recovered from her sleep state.

Jasmine also ate breakfast at her feet, and in terms of food expenses, it ate much more expensive than hers.

Compared with ordinary girls of the same age, the steps to take away makeup before going out are just one step, but in fact, it is an hour, because after returning home, you can also save the makeup removal process.

Save 1 hour a day and 15 days a year.

If you can live for 75 years, you will learn to apply makeup from the age of 15 to the age of 75 and you will not need to apply makeup after you are 75, and you can save 2 and a half years in 60 years. It is really terrible to think about it.

Two and a half years of life have been spent on smearing the face. I really want to say to my face: Thank you for your hard work!

She can do many things in this hour, such as painting.

But now she is more accustomed to painting in pet shops, rather than locking herself up at home and working behind closed doors. Another reason is... Her comics are based on Zhang Zi'an after all, and she is handsome, muscle-burning and sucking a gangbang. Isn't it easier to draw the character prototype?

After breakfast with Jasmine, she cleaned the bowl and the food bowl, put it in her backpack as usual, then put it on a digital tablet and set off to the pet shop across the street.

She and her neighbor next door went out of the house at the same time, and they looked familiar with each other. She tried hard to open her mouth to say hello and said "Good morning", but in the end she did not say it timidly, lowered her head and covered her eyes with the sea of ​​retention.

The same is true for the other party, pretending to turn a blind eye in embarrassment.

This is probably the case with neighborhood relations in modern society.

The houses in old-fashioned residential areas are not good, they are short, small, trendy and dark. Basically, people who rent houses here have no money, but this is not bad, so no one looks down on anyone.

In fact, based on her current income from painting illustrations and working, she can afford to rent a better house, but there is no need to waste money. Anyway, the house is just a place to sleep.

She left the entrance of the community and the fragrance of breakfast came from the Li Supreme Cat Sniffer Snack Snack Shop on the right.

"Good morning."

Someone greeted her, and the voice was three.

She turned her head and saw that it was Tingting and Xiaozhuang. They came to the snack bar to volunteer again. This is the case every day. It has been almost half a month. As long as they persist for about ten days, they will succeed.

Tingting and Xiaozhuang were standing outside the snack bar talking to Sun Xiaomeng. It was probably because Sun Xiaomeng was evaluating their sincerity in adopting them.

Sun Xiaomeng looked a little tired, and her dark circles came out. She probably didn't sleep well last night.

"Good morning." Lu Yiyun responded in a low voice.

She did not continue to disturb their conversation, looked at the vehicles on both sides and trotted across the road.

The roller shutter door of the pet shop was not opened, and she had already opened the door when she arrived.

She took out the key from her pocket, unlocked the lock, and pushed the roller shutter door up with a little effort.

When I opened the floor-to-ceiling glass door, everything in the pet store was normal, but it was too quiet compared to usual. The gray parrot, which was always noisy, was not there. According to Zhang Zi'an, it was entrusted to raise it to my friend during his time abroad, along with those cats and dogs. Because my friend liked them very much, he did not say which friend it was, and she didn't ask.

She carried Jasmine out of her backpack and let it play freely in the store. Then she carefully cleaned the hygiene of the cashier, mainly to wipe off the dust from the keyboard, mouse, monitor, Pos machine, invoice printer and other equipment. After that, she sat down on the chair of the cashier, connected the digital tablet to the computer to prepare for painting.

As for the cleaning work in the store, they will work together after Wang Gan and Li Kun come to work. They usually come a little late because they always play games until very late.

Although the comics she serialized on Weibo only had one or two episodes, the response was good, better than what she had previously serialized. Today, she planned to draw a storyboard draft of the third episode.

I drew a few strokes in a sloppy manner, erased them all, and then drew a few strokes.

Somehow, she always felt a little awkward and couldn't calm down to paint. She didn't feel like this, like... something was missing. Is it because the store was too quiet? But when Zhang Zi'an went to the United States last time, the store was almost quiet, which did not affect her painting.

She raised her head and slowly looked around the store.

Playing kittens, cat climbing racks, display cabinets, puppies in display cabinets, shelves...

After a week of inspection, she suddenly discovered something awkward and couldn't help but be stunned.

The statue of the cat god squatting opposite the cashier was gone.

She thought she hadn't woken up yet, so she pinched herself quietly, which hurt, but the statue of the cat god was still not there.

What's going on? I was clearly there before get off work yesterday.

She was panicked. Was it a thief in the store? But the roller shutter door was locked well and there was no sign of being pried. The small change in the cashier drawer was still there. Although it was not much, the total amount was a few hundred yuan. Which thief did not steal the money after coming in, but stole the heavy bronze statue? Isn't this sick?

It would be fine if the statue was a work of art or an antique, but she clearly heard Zhang Zi'an say it was just a replica and was not very valuable.

It was Wang Gan and Li Kun who deliberately hid the statue and joked with her? It wasn't right. They felt that she was dull and had no value for joking, and never joked with her.

Moreover, there was only one key to the roller shutter door. She left the last yesterday, and Wang Gan and Li Kun had no chance to hide the statue under her nose.

Her heart was pounding very quickly, she left the cash register, trotted to the original position of the statue, and squatted down to take a closer look.

There is a shallow white seal on the ground, which is different from the color of the surrounding floor, proving that the statue has been in this position for a long time, but now it has disappeared.

The statue is made of pure bronze and is very heavy, so heavy that no one can move it when cleaning.

When she first saw the statue of Cat God, she thought it was very weird and the color was very gloomy, but after getting used to it, she felt good. Many customers were also very interested in the statue when they came to the store, and even asked if the statue was sold. Zhang Zi'an said that the statue was a gift given by someone else and was inconvenient for sale, but Lu Yiyun felt that he thought the price was not high enough...

By the way, this statue is a gift from Xiaoxue. Why don’t you ask Xiaoxue to see where she bought it? And if there are any other similar ones?

Lu Yiyun wanted to pay out of her own pocket and buy a statue of the same style in its original place, pretending that nothing had happened. The statue of the Cat God disappeared while she was watching the store. She didn't want to be stolen by Zhang Zi'an and others. Although she had no money, she never stole things, and she didn't want to be suspected of being unclear.

She took out her cell phone, found Xiaoxue's WeChat ID, and then sent a message: Xiaoxue, good morning. Do you remember where the cat god statue was bought in the store?

Since adding WeChat to Xiaoxue, this is the first time she has taken the initiative to send a message to Xiaoxue.

After clicking to send, she held her phone and waited hard, feeling confused.

Did Xiaoxue get up so early? I heard that the anchors are all night owls...

She didn't wait for a long time before she received a message from Xiaoxue, which was a voice message.

Clicking on the message, Xiaoxue's voice came from the speaker of the phone, with a little laziness, as if she had just woken up.

"Good morning, Xiaoyun...the statue of the cat god, I think about it...ah, I remembered that I bought it at a second-hand store called "Chaowuxixishi". Well, that's it... It's here! I'll go down in a while!"

In the voice, you could vaguely hear Xiaoxue's mother calling her downstairs to have dinner. The sound was very far away. It seemed that Xiaoxue lived with her parents and her family was not small.

Lu Yiyun didn't care about anything else and typed: How much did she buy it?

Xiaoxue sent another voice: "How much is it... I forgot, maybe it's a few thousand, right?"

It would be fine if the few thousand yuan was worth it, but Lu Yiyun could afford it. She breathed a little relieved and typed: Is there only one statue of the cat god in the store? Is there a second one?

Xiaoxue: "No, no, there is only one store in the store, no second one. I remember that the boss is a very graceful old man. Rather than selling it, it is better to say that he sold the statue half and half to me, and also said something about divine objects that could not be kept in his small shop... It took quite a long time, and I can't remember it very clearly."

While Xiaoxue was giving a voice, her mother called her to have dinner downstairs, but she responded impatiently.

I heard that there was only one such statue, and Lu Yiyun's disappointment was beyond words.

Xiaoxue: "Xiaoyun, why did you remember to ask this? Is there something going on?"

Lu Yiyun: It’s okay, I just remembered it by chance, Xiaoxue, go for dinner, don’t let your mother wait too long.

Xiaoxue: "Well, I'm getting up... Snowball, go down, don't press on the quilt... By the way, Xiaoyun, the store manager is going abroad, right? Everything is fine in the store, right?"

Lu Yiyun: Everything is fine, Xiaoxue, don’t worry.

Xiaoxue: "That's good, I'm going to have a meal!"

Lu Yiyun sighed. There was nothing he could do now. He couldn't even compensate him. He could only explain to Zhang Zi'an truthfully, hoping that he would not treat her as a thief.

She found Zhang Zi'an's WeChat and hesitated for a while and sent him a message: Sorry, Mr. Store Manager, the statue of the cat god in the store is gone...
Chapter completed!
