Chapter 272 If you keep talking nonsense, I will report you to the police
Ye Ying got out of the car and patted Sun Xi on the shoulder to comfort him: "I'm fine. Fortunately, someone found me in time yesterday."
"That's good, that's good." Sun Xi, who was nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Ji Lianqi: "Captain Ji is here today too.
"Yeah." Ji Lian looked at Sun Xi with sharp eyes and nodded: "The matter is quite serious. I'll follow to see if there is anything I can do to help."
Sun Xi also nodded and looked at Ye Ying: "Sister Ye Ying, what should we do next? The store has been burned down like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to operate for a while."
The three of them walked towards the store entrance while talking.
The store was burned down like this, and there were many people standing in front of the store to watch.
They are basically the shop owners on this street.
Among these people, some feel regretful, some sigh, and some take pleasure in the misfortune.
Ye Ying could basically tell what the people were thinking at a glance, as they had different expressions.
Seeing Ye Ying coming, they all greeted her.
"How are you, sister Ye Ying? Is everything ok? Did you see what that person looks like? Did you report it to the police?"
"Are you not hurt? These bastards are so wicked that they dare to do such wicked things in the county town!"
"The food in the store shouldn't be burnt, right?"
.....
Everyone was basically just exchanging pleasantries, and Ye Ying responded to everyone's questions one by one.
A lady who ran a snack bar was terrified and grabbed Ye Ying:
"Girl, you haven't offended the underworld, have you? Don't get us neighbors involved, we still have to run a business to make a living!"
Ye Ying:......
"No." Ye Ying frowned: "Aunt Yao, what are you afraid of? They are looking for trouble with me. Your snack bar is hundreds of meters away from me. It won't affect you, right?"
Aunt Yao curled her lips and said nothing.
Mao Wei and Lao Yu also came over to see the excitement, and from the faint smiles on their faces it was easy to tell that they were gloating over the misfortune.
Ye Ying glanced at them with disdain.
The couple who ran the hotel next door, and who had been planning to close for three days, somehow learned about the fire in Ye Ying's restaurant and showed up at the scene.
Perhaps he was worried that his store might be affected, so he came to check the situation.
Ye Ying glanced at the onlookers with different expressions.
Who knows, the arsonist might be here.
At this time, someone in the crowd spoke up to comfort him:
"Sister Ye Ying! It's okay that the store burned down, we can just renovate it, and it's okay as long as the people are fine, you don't have to be too sad, ah!"
"Yes, if a person is gone, then everything is gone!" Mao Wei stared at Ye Ying and echoed in a sarcastic tone.
The onlookers all expressed their agreement and immediately began to talk about it.
A man joked in a teasing tone: "Mao Wei, you see, Ye Ying's business is better than yours, could it be you who did this? Hahaha!"
Ye Ying recognized the person who was talking. It was Mr. Zhang who ran a shoe store on this street.
Mao Wei was so shocked that her eyes widened immediately. "Lao Zhang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! This is something that could land you in jail, so don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, Lao Zhang, if you keep talking nonsense I will call the police!" Lao Yu echoed. The couple seemed to have reconciled and were united in facing the enemy.
“Hahaha! Look how anxious you two are!” Lao Zhang waved his hands, “This is no joke!”
"I think what Lao Zhang said is right," a middle-aged man in his fifties interrupted with a smile, "You two stores are the only competitors on this street, and you're located diagonally opposite each other. Who knows who will steal whose business, and who will be unhappy...hahaha!"
Although the two men were joking in their ridicule, it still annoyed Mao Wei and her husband.
Mao Wei glared at the middle-aged man in his fifties with cold eyes: "Old Yang, it's not your fault if you can't tell whose business is good and whose is bad!"
"But if your eyesight isn't good, just wear a pair of reading glasses instead of just talking nonsense here. I'll sue you for defamation!"
Ye Ying turned impatiently and went to the front of the store. The paper shells that were pasted on were still intact, so there probably hadn't been any thieves inside.
But if she didn't find someone to re-glass the windows quickly, there was a good chance that they would be thieved today.
After all, there are so many eyes staring at me from behind.
Ye Ying asked Sun Xi to watch here while she and Ji Lianqi rode together to find a locksmith and someone to repair the doors and windows.
The locksmith was not far away, and after getting the address, he rushed over to open the lock.
The master who repaired the doors and windows was some distance away, so the two of them waited until around noon before inviting the master to come over.
After the master has measured the dimensions, I have to go back and make it. I cannot guarantee that the installation can be 100% completed today.
After these two most important things were arranged, Ye Ying had just arrived at the store and started to clean up when two or three police officers showed up.
Yu Gang was walking in front and saw Ye Ying busy with the cleanup work in the store, so he called her out.
Ye Ying put down the broom in her hand and walked out of the store: "Comrade Yu Gang? Why are you here?"
Hearing this, Ji Lianqi also put down the screwdriver in his hand and followed him out.
When Yu Gang saw Ji Lianqi, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is this?"
Although he was wearing casual clothes, his straight back, tall build and crew cut made him look extraordinary.
"Oh, this is my husband." Ye Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "His last name is Ji."
Yu Gang looked at Ji Lianqi in surprise, "Could it be Captain Ji?"
"Do you know me?" Ji Lianqi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke and looked at Yu Gang seriously.
He knew this man, the male comrade that Political Commissar He had mentioned before, that is, Comrade Yu Gang who sent An Xiaotong to Shenzhen together with Ye Ying.
Yu Gang smiled again: "How can I not know your name?"
But he did not continue to talk in depth. Instead, he looked at Ye Ying seriously and said, "Let's get back to the important matter first."
"Ye Ying, this fire was definitely man-made. But we have difficulty investigating it, and we need your help. Think carefully again, have you offended anyone recently?"
"Or, have you met any strange people?"
This is the same question as Ji Lianqi's...
Ye Ying then repeated it to Yu Gang again.
However, this time she added the two strange men who occasionally appeared and looked into the store from time to time.
Hearing this, Ji Lianqi, who had been silent on the side, frowned.
"Do you still remember the appearance of these two people?" Yu Gang continued to ask.
Ye Ying briefly described the two people's general appearance and clothing.
Anyway, she didn't believe that she could find someone based on her description.
"Are there any other abnormal situations?" Yu Gang asked again after he finished recording, fearing that he might have missed something.
"Hiss..." Ye Ying turned her head slightly and glanced at the hotel next door. "If there is any, it is true. You know those noisy bald guys..."
"I know. No need to say more." Yu Gang immediately closed the notebook. "These guys are used to it. They got into a fight with passersby yesterday and were taken away. You know that, right?"
"Um."
“So this matter should have nothing to do with them.”
"Okay." Ye Ying shrugged, "Then I can't think of anyone else."
"The bald guys went in, and the yellow-haired guy went in too. I really can't think of anything. Or is it possible that it was done by the other 'gangsters' of the yellow-haired guy?"
