Chapter 50: Romantic Night, Arson and Murder



Jiang Manyue packed up the shop, thinking about opening it tomorrow morning.

The shop is filled with clothes that she has worked hard to make, and a large part of them are goods that Baozhu brings in from the provincial capital.

But she didn't know this, and she always felt uneasy.

When she opened the door this morning, she found someone peeing in front of her shop.

As soon as the door was opened, an unpleasant foul smell came out, and Wang Baozhu cursed angrily for a long time.

The public security these days is not that good, and there are no surveillance equipment everywhere.

It would not do for so many goods to be stored on the pavement of the shop without anyone watching over it. It was said that the door of the shop opposite was pried open a few days ago.

A lot of things were lost in one night, but no one saw it because it was the middle of the night.

So for safety reasons, someone must be guarding the store tonight.

Jiang Manyue has invested all her fortune in the clothing store, so naturally she cannot afford to make any mistakes.

She asked Wang Baozhu to go home first and come back to bring her food in the evening.

Before leaving, she was still worried: "Sister, why don't you go home first, and I'll stay in the store tonight."

"It's okay, just close the doors and windows, and go back quickly."

Wang Baozhu couldn't persuade her any more, so she could only give her a few instructions and go back.

"Okay, I'll come early to bring you dinner!"

After she left, Jiang Manyue locked the door and checked it again and again before feeling relieved.

The store is very large, with clothes taking up the vast majority of the space.

For convenience, a small room was set up at the back, which can accommodate a small single bed.

The surroundings seemed very quiet, Jiang Manyue was lying on the bed, preparing to fall asleep.

She was awakened by a knock on the door.

She cautiously sat up from the bed and looked towards the door.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Could it be that Wang Baozhu had come?

She walked to the door but didn't rush to open it. She listened carefully to the noise outside.

"Comrade Jiang, it's me!" At this time, a low and familiar voice came from outside the door.

Qin Zhenbei? Why is he here?

Jiang Manyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and then opened the shop door.

Qin Zhenbei's slender figure stood in the night, wearing a white shirt and army green pants.

He was holding a lunch box in his hand: "Comrade Jiang, I'm here to bring you food."

"Captain Qin, please come in first!" Jiang Manyue led people into the store.

Qin Zhenbei looked around the shop and didn't expect that she had finished decorating the shop in just a few days.

It seems that she is not only smart and brave, but also a hardworking and entrepreneurial person.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Manyue poured him a cup of tea and asked him to sit down.

Qin Zhenbei explained: "Comrade Wang is not feeling well, so he asked me to bring him food."

Wang Baozhu is not feeling well? It certainly doesn't look that simple.

She was probably pretending to be sick so that Captain Qin could come and bring her food in person.

"Thank you!" Jiang Manyue was indeed hungry, so she opened the lunch box.

The aroma instantly hit my nose, and it turned out to be full of hot dumplings.

You can tell at first glance that it’s my aunt’s cooking. This is specially made for her with her favorite pork and cabbage filling.

Qin Zhenbei was worried that the food would get cold, so he rode his bike here early in the evening.

Jiang Manyue didn't care at all and just ate the dumplings with relish.

She was totally unlike the delicate lesbians who chewed the dumplings slowly and carefully. She stuffed the dumplings into her mouth in one bite.

I haven’t eaten the dumplings made by my aunt for a long time. They were her favorite in her previous life.

But ever since her uncle's family passed away, she has been missing this dish for decades.

I don't know why, but my eyes felt sore and I almost wanted to cry.

"Cough cough cough!" Jiang Manyue ate too fast and choked.

"Eat slowly!" Qin Zhenbei turned around and poured her some water.

Jiang Manyue had already grabbed the cup and drank it down in one gulp, finally suppressing herself.

"Sorry!" She touched her chest and looked at the teacup in her hand, apologizing embarrassedly.

He had just drunk in this life, so did this count as an indirect kiss?

"It doesn't matter!" Qin Zhenbei smiled, but he didn't care.

After she had dinner, Jiang Manyue looked at the quiet shop.

The two of them sat together and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was extremely quiet and a little awkward for a moment.

It's not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room at night, especially since Qin Zhenbei already has a fiancée.

"Thank you, Captain Qin!" She took the initiative to thank him.

"Yeah, it's okay!" He stood up and prepared to leave: "Be careful when you're alone at night."

He packed up his things and was about to leave when he heard a noise at the store door.

"Rustle, rustle!" It sounded like someone was outside.

Jiang Manyue looked towards the door, and Qin Zhenbei signaled her not to speak.

Under the cover of night, two figures, one big and one small, sneaked to the door.

"Splash, splash!" There was a sound of splashing water at the door.

An unknown liquid was flowing in from under the door, soaking her shoes directly.

"Hmm? What is this?" Jiang Manyue smelled a pungent smell.

A strong smell drifted in through the crack in the door. She immediately covered her mouth and nose and subconsciously opened her eyes wide: "Gasoline?"

Who dared to pour gasoline outside? What does this person outside want to do?

I don't know what the purpose of the people outside is. Jiang Manyue immediately stepped forward and asked, "Who is it?"

There was no response from the person outside the door, followed by the sound of a match being lit.

"Wow!" A ray of light appeared in the darkness and instantly flew towards the door.

The flames poured in through the door and the cracks in the door, shocking Jiang Manyue so much that she took several steps back.
