Chapter 544: Finding the murderer by smell (page 14)
After the children left, the old lady took Xia Meng on a tricycle to a nearby electronics factory.
The old lady pointed to the electronics factory and said, "This is it."
Xia Meng looked at the electronics factory, then looked at her cell phone. It would take another half an hour before the workers in the electronics factory would get off work.
So Xia Meng asked the old aunt, "Aunt, if you see that man again, will you still remember him?"
"Don't worry, don't worry," Auntie waved her hand to reassure Xia Meng.
"I'm not face-blind. I've been able to remember people's faces easily since I was young. If I see him again, I will definitely recognize him."
Xia Meng, "That's good!"
Half an hour later, the gate of the electronics factory was opened by the security guard, and the workers working inside went off work!
However, although they say they are off work, many people do not go home. Instead, they eat something and then go back to work.
There are snack stalls on both sides of a street outside the electronics factory.
The workers soon filled the entire street like a flood.
The workers stopped at the stalls they liked and started buying food.
"Damn! The hourly wage is getting lower and lower now."
"Yeah, six bucks an hour, those bastards can say that."
"There's nothing we can do. It's hard to find a job now, and those people are just trying to exploit us!"
"Fuck! I only have five hours left in a day, and every day I just want to fall asleep and never wake up again!"
"Who says it isn't true? Perhaps the dead have it easier than us living ones."
"If it weren't for my wife and children, I would really want to jump off the building and end it all!"
These are the complaints of men. The girls in the electronics factory certainly don’t have an easy life either:
"Oh, my dad is sick again, and I gave all the money I saved with great difficulty to the hospital. I'm so angry! I can't even afford to buy myself some nice clothes or shoes."
"Who said it wasn't true? Life is so hard, but my parents are still urging me to get married and find a man to take care of me. Oh my God! Men can't even support themselves now, so how can I expect a man to support me? What if he doesn't want to? Besides, what if I have a child? I won't be able to go to work if I have a child. By then, the man will not only have to support himself, but also me and the child. This... the whole family will starve to death!"
"That's right! That's right! Last month my mom insisted on introducing me to someone, but I turned her down!"
"Those men are the same. They don't even consider whether they can support a family. They want to get married and have children. Can you afford it?"
"In this world, I think not giving birth to a child is the best thing for the child! If the child inherits only poverty and danger from me, then I'd rather not give birth to a child!"
"Yes, nowadays, we really have to live one day at a time! We may die someday, so why should we care so much?"
Xia Meng heard a lot of similar words along the way. Young people are very pessimistic!
But we can't blame them. In an era when natural disasters are rampant, it would be strange if young people could have positive thoughts.
It’s so hard to find a job, they can barely support themselves, and they don’t know where their future lies. How can they be optimistic?
In addition to this, Xia Meng also discovered that there were several scantily clad women standing in front of shops on the street, winking at the men walking by.
What surprised Xia Meng even more was that although there were many women in scantily clad clothes, there were also men sitting in front of the store, and it seemed that they were also out... to sell themselves!
this......
Hey!
Seeing Xia Meng staring around, the old lady sighed and said,
"They are all poor people!"
"Many people are forced into this job because they have no other choice. If they could get a better job, they would not do that."
Xia Meng nodded, indicating her understanding.
Although, there are indeed some people who are lazy and like to eat and think that they can earn more and it is easy by selling things outside.
This industry makes money too quickly! Money comes quickly and goes quickly, and they don't know how to cherish it. When they get used to this "luxury" life, if they are asked to work honestly to earn that little salary, most of them will definitely not be able to bear it and will return to that industry again.
But those who are lazy and like to eat are a minority after all. Most people have no choice but to do that job.
Seeing that Xia Meng didn't say anything sarcastic, or say something like "don't eat meat", the old lady's smile deepened.
The two waited at the door for more than ten minutes. Seeing that no one came out, Xia Meng became anxious. She was thinking about whether to find the company's senior management and ask them to retrieve the employee's information so that the old aunt could identify him, when the old aunt suddenly pulled Xia Meng's sleeve.
Xia Meng came back to her senses immediately.
The old lady pointed at a man who was walking out of the gate and said,
"it's him!"
Xia Meng looked in the direction the old lady pointed and saw a man walking out of the gate. The man looked ordinary and not tall, but he looked very strong.
Xia Meng nodded and walked towards the man.
The man stared at the roadside stall, as if thinking about what to eat.
It was at this moment that Xia Meng stood in front of the man.
The man looked at Xia Meng in confusion.
Xia Meng smiled at the man, then pointed at the old lady not far away and said,
"Hello, did you buy that auntie's milk tea yesterday?"
The man followed the direction of Xia Meng's finger and saw the old lady.
The man thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I did buy it yesterday. What's the matter?"
The man's eyes began to become alert.
However, this kind of vigilance is more like the vigilance when encountering an unfamiliar person who rashly asks about one's affairs, and it does not seem like the guilty conscience of a murderer!
"It's okay, just asking," Xia Meng said sincerely.
"This auntie has a pretty good business. I want to buy her milk tea recipe, so I want to ask those of you who have tried it to see what you think of the milk tea."
"Buy the formula?" The man looked Xia Meng up and down, then nodded as if he suddenly realized something. "So that's how it is!"
Xia Meng looked at the man and couldn't believe it. He actually believed it!
He believed it!
Would a serial killer believe what others say so easily?
"However," the man looked a little embarrassed.
"Although I bought this aunt's milk tea yesterday, I didn't drink it?"
"Hmm?" Xia Meng frowned, "You didn't drink?"
Facing Xia Meng's inquiring gaze, the man said calmly,
"Yeah, I didn't drink it. I bought that cup of milk tea for my girlfriend and she drank it!"
It turns out to be like this!
However, can you trust what this man says?
Xia Meng fell into deep thought!
The man saw that Xia Meng seemed a little disappointed, so he said,
"How about this, I'll call my girlfriend and ask her what she thinks of that cup of milk tea?"
"Okay! Okay!" Xia Meng looked very happy.
The man immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number. Soon, the other end answered.
