There is no one in the wax museum, there is only a curtain on the inner side.
"boss."
"Is the boss here?"
Tank shouted towards the door curtain, but there was no sound. Tank looked at Qin Yu and asked if he wanted to go in and investigate.
"Go in."
Qin Yu nodded, and then the four of them opened the door curtain and discovered that there was a corridor inside, and at the end of the corridor was a room.
"Boss, aren't you here? Why don't you make a sound when we call you?"
Before Tank entered the room, he saw a man in his forties sitting on a chair directly in front of the room. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing a suit on his upper body, a pair of trousers on his lower body, and a pair of trousers on his feet.
The shiny leather shoes make him look like a successful business person.
However, in the face of the tank's shouting, the boss said nothing and kept his posture like this.
"Boss, are you deaf?" Qin Yu and others walked into the room. Tank reached out to push the boss, but Qin Yu stopped him.
"Tank, this is not the owner of the wax shop."
Qin Yu's eyes fell on this middle-aged man in a suit, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It's not the boss, is it a wax figure?" Lin Hao seemed to have thought of something, and said: "If this is a wax figure, then this wax figure is too lifelike, it is exactly the same as a living person."
"This is not a wax figure, this is a dead person." Qin Yu's words suddenly silenced the atmosphere.
"Yes, this is indeed a dead man. I didn't expect that this boss is actually an expert. He can tell it at a glance."
A voice sounded from outside the door. Qin Yu and the others looked back, only to see an old man with a hunchback walking in from the outside of the door. Not only did the old man with a hunchback hunch his back into an oval, but more importantly, the old man's back was bent into an oval.
His whole face was covered with scars from fire burns, which was very scary. Fortunately, Qin Yu and the others present were not ordinary people, otherwise, the hunchbacked old man's face alone could scare them.
"Are you the owner of the wax figure shop?" Tank asked when he saw the hunchbacked old man appeared.
"Yes, I am the owner of this wax museum. What's wrong with the bosses?" As he spoke, the hunchbacked old man walked up to the middle-aged man in a suit. Then, he touched the man in the suit's face with his hands.
After his hands left, the man in the suit closed his eyes.
Seeing the movements of the hunchbacked old man, Qin Yu already had some understanding of the hunchbacked old man's identity. No wonder this wax museum was built on the edge of the cemetery.
"Boss, you are still an embalmer." Qin Yu asked towards the hunchbacked old man.
"Yes, since the boss can tell that this is a dead person, he can naturally tell me about my profession. However, let alone an embalmer, he just puts makeup on dead people to make ends meet. After all, I have a face like this.
Ah, we are afraid of living people, so only dead people will not dislike us."
The words of the hunchbacked old man left Qin Yu and the others speechless. These days, although it is not exactly a world where faces are judged, most employers would never want someone with a face like the old man's.
"What's going on with the bosses? Do you want to buy a wax figure?"
"no."
"Oh, that's because a relative at home has passed away and I asked me to help with makeup. I'm not bragging. In the whole city of Guangzhou, there is no one who can do makeup on dead people with better skills than me. Some makeup artists don't know how to do makeup at all.
Respect the dead, they don’t know, the dead also need to be respected.”
When the hunchbacked old man said these last words, his tone obviously contained deep meaning.
"Boss, what do you call me?" Qin Yu changed the subject and asked.
"My name is Zhao Dalang. Everyone calls me Langtou. Several bosses can also call me this." The hunchbacked old man said.
"Boss Zhao, it's like this. We are here this time because a person once left us an address so that we can come to you if we have anything to do."
Qin Yu glanced at Lin Hao. Lin Hao understood and said to Zhao Dalang: "Boss Zhao, I have a friend named Shui Mo. She told me that if I encounter something that cannot be solved, I can come to you and ask him
You will help us."
After listening to Lin Hao's words, Zhao Dalang had a puzzled look on his face, "What kind of ink and ink guy? I don't know this person. Did the bosses find the wrong person?"
"That's right, No. 396, Yinhe Road, isn't it your place?" Lin Hao took out the note and handed it to Zhao Dalang.
Zhao Dalang glanced at the note and then shook his head, "I'm really sorry. I really don't know ink painting. I'm just a makeup artist for dead people. Maybe the person you're looking for is the original owner of my shop.
, I only bought this store this year.”
"But my friend gave me this note two months ago." Lin Hao stared at Zhao Dalang and said.
Zhao Dalang pondered for a moment, "Maybe your friend doesn't know that this shop has changed its owner."
What Zhao Dalang said is not impossible, and Zhao Dalang's expression was very sincere. When he heard the name ink, he really had a blank look on his face. It was not like he was pretending. At least he kept staring at Zhao Dalang's expression change and didn't notice it.
Come on, if Zhao Dalang is really lying, he can only be said to be an actor of movie king level.
"If that's the case, can Boss Zhao give us the contact information of the previous shop owner?" Tank asked Zhao Dalang at Qin Yu's signal.
"No problem, I'll get the pen and you guys wait here." Zhao Dalang walked out of the room and walked to one side.
"Master, boss Zhao really doesn't know ink and wash?" Lin Hao felt that his head was a little big. He originally thought that he could find clues related to ink and wash, but when he got here, he found that it was broken again.
Qin Yu didn't say anything, and glanced towards the room, but the next moment, his expression changed.
"No, I was deceived."
Almost at the same time, Qin Yu's figure disappeared from the house and chased in the direction where Zhao Dalang disappeared. Lin Hao, Tank and Nian'an looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what happened, but they immediately chased after him.
The direction Zhao Dalang walked was a corridor that led directly to the back door. When Qin Yu chased him out, he had completely disappeared, but the door of the back door was open at this moment, which meant that Zhao Dalang ran away through the back door.
"Zhao Dalang can run, which means he must know Shui Mo, but why did he run? It was Shui Mo who asked us to find him."
"Perhaps, he thinks that we are not necessarily Miss Shui's people." Qin Yu said meaningfully.
"Then what should we do now? Zhao Dalang has run away, should we wait for him here?"
"Who said he ran away?"
Qin Yu smiled, but looked towards the corner of the door, because the back door was wide open, but the two doors were leaning against the wall, while Qin Yu walked towards the wall step by step.
"Boss Zhao, stop hiding behind the door. You deliberately left the back door wide open to make us think you slipped out of the back door, but in fact you were just hiding behind the door."
As soon as Qin Yu said these words, the three people in the tank stared at the back of the door. This was indeed something they did not expect. According to their usual thinking, the back door opened and the person disappeared. He must have run away, but he didn't.
Think about it.
Squeak!
The wooden door was slowly pushed open, revealing that terrifying scarred face, it was Zhao Dalang.
"Boss Zhao, you are hiding, maybe because you doubt our identity, but I want to tell you, his name is Lin Hao, I don't know if Boss Zhao has heard of this name."
"Your name is Lin Hao?" Zhao Dalang asked with a serious expression when he saw Qin Yu pointing his finger at Lin Hao.
"Well, yes, my name is Lin Hao."
"What do you have to prove your identity?"
"Uh..." Lin Hao was stunned for a moment. I am who I am. Do you need anything else to prove that I am mine?
"This is my ID card." After thinking for a moment, Lin Hao took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Dalang.
Zhao Dalang looked at the ID card carefully and stared at Lin Hao's face. After a long time, he was finally convinced that Lin Hao was the Lin Hao on the ID card.
"Since you are Lin Hao, then follow me."
Zhao Dalang took Qin Yu and others back to the house again, "You guys wait here for me, I'll go and close the store door."
"No need, I'll have someone check it in."
Qin Yu stopped Zhao Dalang and signaled to Tank, who then walked out of the house, walked to the store, and closed the store door, not only the front door, but also the back door.
"Miss Shui once told me that if a person named Lin Hao comes to me, he must help if he has any difficulties." When Zhao Dalang said this, he glanced at Qin Yu, "However, there are
There must be something wrong with this person here, and I can't take action."
"Boss Zhao, you're welcome." Qin Yu smiled. He knew what Zhao Dalang meant. I'm afraid that in Zhao Dalang's eyes, he was an unfathomable existence, and this might be the reason why he ran away before.
"This time, we really need Boss Zhao's help. We want to know everything about the ink girl."
"I can tell you."
Zhao Dalang nodded and moved a few chairs out from the side. However, before sitting down, he bowed three times to the dead man in the room, so that he would not blame him.
"About Miss Water, we started talking about it three years ago. At that time, I was already putting makeup on dead people. I remember that day, a dead person was brought to the hospital. It was said that he died of drowning."
"People who die from drowning will have swollen bodies, white skin on their hands and feet, curled up fingers, bulging lower abdomen, and lips that will turn purple. Therefore, the family members of the female corpse found me at that time, hoping that I could put makeup on the female corpse.
Cremated and buried with the most beautiful makeup.” (To be continued)
