Chapter 31: Continue to Squat
"Little girl, although your phone has been barely repaired this time, if it gets bumped or dented again, it will probably be completely damaged."
"I still recommend that you back up important files as soon as possible to prevent them from being retrieved later."
The mobile phone shop owner handed the repaired black phone to Lin Jin.
Lin Jin logged into Fetion impatiently, and seeing that all the chat records, voice messages, and photos were still there, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you, boss. These chat records are still there."
The boss chuckled, "No need, I'm just giving it a try, but can I ask if you have anything important in there?" There was a hint of gossip in his eyes.
Lin Jin looked up from the photo album and saw her boss staring at her with gossipy eyes. She denied it repeatedly, "No, these are voice messages and photos sent to me by my good friend. She passed away, and this is the only thing I have to remember her by."
The boss' smile suddenly disappeared, and he slapped his lips and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jin put away her phone, thinking about the backup, and walked to the mobile phone counter nearby.
Looking down at the mobile phones of various brands, she walked straight past them and went to the last display cabinet.
When she saw a mobile phone of the same brand that only cost 1,500 yuan, Lin Jin immediately pointed at it.
"Boss, I want this phone. Can you please transfer the data to me?"
......
"Brother Yan, Li Dabiao was beaten up. He just called and said he wants to leave Anshi and turn over a new leaf in the future."
In the Peach Blossom Spring villa area of An City, Hou Yan was playing with a dagger while sitting in the shadow of the sofa, staring at the TV news in front of him.
Beside him, a muscular man wearing a white sleeveless vest was reporting the situation.
Hearing the man's words, Hou Yan asked lazily, "How could he be beaten by someone? Who did it?"
"I don't know. When I asked him, he was very reluctant to recall what happened that day. Later, he couldn't resist my questioning and said that a woman beat him."
"The woman was wearing a hat and a mask so her face couldn't be seen clearly. Li Dabiao didn't understand how she suddenly appeared in the club. She came up and beat him up. He didn't have time to resist at all."
Hou Yan paused in playing with the dagger, and the sharp blade stopped at his fingertips.
He opened his eyelids and looked at the man. "Suddenly appeared? How did you suddenly appear?"
The man told the whole story, "I'm also confused. According to Li Dabiao, no one goes into the private room after 6pm."
"I checked the fingerprints on the door but didn't find any suspicious fingerprints. I even checked the windows and the toilet but couldn't find any clues. It was as if the woman appeared out of thin air."
Hou Yan's face darkened and he threw the dagger into the fruit plate in front of the man.
"Don't worry about this matter. Since Li Dabiao doesn't want to do it, just let him go home!"
His tone was relaxed and casual, but to the man's ears it sounded like the devil's whisper.
He looked at the dagger which was only a few centimeters away from him and shuddered violently.
He would never think that Brother Yan was so merciful that he would give severance pay to his subordinates if they said they would quit.
This "not doing it" does not mean "not doing it" in the literal sense.
"yes."
After the man left, Hou Yan made a phone call.
As soon as the phone was connected, he got straight to the point.
"Brother Qi, it seems that a new person with special abilities has appeared in An City."
......
The fact that Lin Jin was being picked on was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, which created ripples but quickly disappeared.
She returned to her previous routine of working part-time, studying and doing field research.
Every weekend, she would set up a stall in front of the largest film and television shooting base in An City.
One was to earn some living expenses, and the other was to wait for Wen Siqi to appear.
Ever since she learned from Cheng Lilian that Wen Siqi was a participant in the party, Lin Jin always had the illusion that this man was the murderer.
Although she had no evidence to point to it, she had a hunch that even if Wen Siqi was not the murderer, he was definitely involved in Ranran's death.
In the past two days, whenever Lin Jin had free time, she would wait for Wen Siqi downstairs of the Orange Company, hoping to find useful clues on him.
But after squatting for several days, she didn't see anyone downstairs of the Orange Company, not even Cheng Lilian.
After failing to find the solution, Lin Jin had to find another way. She followed Qiao Ying’s Big Eyes account and entered her super topic to try to find a breakthrough from her.
After browsing the peeking super topic for several days, I finally learned from fans that Qiao Ying would be filming a costume drama in Shudian today.
Recalling the last time Wen Siqi visited the crew, Lin Jin, with the mentality of giving it a try, traveled thousands of miles across half the city to come to the store early in the morning to stake out Qiao Ying.
Several days passed, and I saw from the super chat that Qiao Ying was almost done filming, but Wen Siqi hadn't appeared yet.
It was as if this person had disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace at all.
Lin Jin, who was waiting there, was almost losing her patience.
She learned from the super chat that Qiao Ying would go to Beijing to participate in an event this afternoon. If she hadn't seen her today, there might not be such a suitable opportunity in the future.
"Jin Jin! Why are you here?!"
Lin Jin was staring at the entrance of the base in front of her, when someone suddenly called her name in the distance.
Looking back, she saw Jiang Le and the other two walking towards her arm in arm.
"Jiang Le! Why are you here?"
Jiang Le and the other two came closer, with even more surprise in their voices.
Jiang Le: "I also want to ask you, you set up a stall in the crew, our school is quite far away from the vertical store, how did you move the things here?"
Lin Jin moved her shoulders and said, "I'm strong, so I naturally want to walk farther. Besides, there are a lot of people in the crew, and I can only make money if there are more people."
Minghui walked around the small table in surprise. "Your stall is well-presented. It's small, flexible and easy to move."
"You can do it all with just a sausage grill, you don't need a tricycle, it's pretty good."
Hua Yi was also surprised, "That is to say, a small stall can be placed anywhere. If it is put into a cart, maybe it can be set up all over the country."
Lin Jin took three roasted starch sausages and handed them to the three people, "Come, have a taste of my cooking."
Jiang Le and Ming Sui happily took it and took a bite of the crispy and fragrant starch sausage. The bright red chili powder stimulated them so much that they opened their mouths and shouted that it was spicy.
“It’s delicious.”
"Lin Jin, your cooking skills are really good."
Hua Yi had never eaten starch sausage before. Seeing her roommate eating it so happily, she also tried to put the starch sausage into her mouth.
After taking a small bite, she immediately praised Lin Jin highly.
"Oh my god, the sausage is so delicious."
"As long as it tastes good, I have more here."
Lin Jin pulled out a tissue and handed it to the three of them. After seeing them wipe the oil stains from the corners of their mouths, she asked, "What are you doing in the store? Didn't you go out to play?"
