"It's nothing, I just feel a little embarrassed!" Shen Yanqing was a little embarrassed. She didn't want Lin Yi to see her face blushing so much that it almost turned into a big red cloth.
"Should we go get the recorder now?"
Lin Yi wiped his mouth. He was walking too fast just now and didn't even wipe his mouth.
"Um……"
Shen Yanqing's second uncle's restaurant is only a few steps away from the mobile phone repair shop.
It took them nearly an hour to eat, and it was already past eight o'clock.
Most general shops are basically closed at this point, with only a faint light coming from the door glass at the mobile phone repair shop.
It proves that Uncle Qiao is still there. In fact, Lin Yi was really afraid that Uncle Qiao would not be able to say that he would close the door and go home. This Uncle Qiao really forgets to sleep and eat when he is working.
Lin Yi and Shen Yanqing entered Uncle Qiao's store and found that there was a light in the corner, but Uncle Qiao was not sitting there.
"Maybe I went to the toilet, let's wait!" Shen Yanqing and Lin Yi said.
The two waited for a while, but did not see Uncle Qiao come out.
Lin Yi felt a little anxious. It was almost nine o'clock, and there would be no bus home soon.
In fact, what I was most worried about was the voice recorder, after all, it was the key piece of evidence.
Shen Yanqing was also a little anxious while waiting, so she tried shouting a few times inside.
From where Uncle Qiao is sitting, there is a door inside, which should be the bathroom door, but it can't be seen clearly from the outside.
"Uncle Qiao took a long time to go to the toilet. Do you have his phone number?" Lin Yi said to Shen Yanqing.
Because Lin Yi searched around this store and didn't see any phone number or anything like that. There was nothing. In stores like this, don't they always post their mobile phone numbers everywhere, for fear that there might be someone else?
Can guests not find them when they come to your door?
This strange old man is really unusual. He didn't even leave his phone number or anything. How does such a person run a business? Lin Yi is puzzled. Is it just relying on repeat customers?
Lin Yi asked if he wanted to go take a look. At this time, the door inside opened.
Uncle Qiao walked out of it, his brows furrowed. Although the lights in the room were dim, Lin Yi could tell that his face looked a little bad.
"Uncle Qiao, we are here!"
Shen Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
"Uncle Qiao, has the recorder you just took away been repaired?"
Shen Yanqing asked.
"Oh, it's fixed..."
When Shen Yanqing heard this, she felt so happy, just like Lin Yi, both of them were very happy.
"I didn't actually repair it, it just ran out of power. I charged it and it turned on normally!"
When Shen Yanqing and Lin Yi heard it, it turned out that the battery was out of power. They thought the recorder was broken.
"Then, give us the recorder!" Lin Yi was a little anxious at this time, and stretched out his hand impatiently, saying that after you repair it, just return the recorder to us.
"Young man, why are you so anxious?"
Uncle Qiao's first impression of Lin Yi was obviously not very good, and he felt that he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
Therefore, Uncle Qiao would not cooperate with whatever Lin Yi did. Logically speaking, now that the recorder has been repaired, Uncle Qiao should return the recorder to Shen Yanqing and the others.
But all I saw was that Uncle Qiao was holding the recording pen in his hand, and he looked at it carefully for a long time. He finally spoke.
"Yanzi, do you think this recorder belongs to you?"
As soon as Uncle Qiao said these words, Lin Yi and Shen Yanqing were stunned on the spot.
To be honest, Shen Yanqing is not the kind of person who won't lie. But when they brought the recorder to repair it, Shen Yanqing could only say that the recorder was his own. Because they only asked Uncle Qiao to repair the recorder.
There is no need to explain so many things to Uncle Qiao.
Of course, you casually said that the recorder belonged to you, otherwise you would have told Uncle Qiao exactly what happened, and it would have been almost midnight by the time you finished telling the story.
Shen Yanqing was stunned for a moment, but now she could only bite the bullet and explain: "Well, Uncle Qiao, it's mine. What's wrong?"
Uncle Qiao held a voice recorder in his hand, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
"Is this yours?"
Uncle Qiao sounded suspicious, and then repeated Shen Yanqing's words.
"Um!"
Shen Yanqing's answer this time was even more guilty.
"I think there is something wrong with this thing." Uncle Qiao continued. "You said there was a problem, but didn't you say it can be turned on normally?"
Lin Yi asked Shen Yanqing before he could.
"Well, it can boot normally! But there are other problems. I think this thing is not very clean!"
When these words were spoken, Shen Yanqing and Lin Yi were both stunned on the spot.
"Isn't it clean? Then I'll just wipe it clean later. Uncle Qiao, please give me the recorder!" Shen Yanqing said very innocently, and then she stretched out her hand towards Uncle Qiao.
"Silly boy, the uncleanness I'm talking about is not this uncleanness, but that uncleanness!"
Uncle Qiao was almost speechless by Shen Yanqing. He really didn't know how to explain.
Only Lin Yi understood what Uncle Qiao meant. This was not clean, maybe he had gotten into something dirty.
At this time, there was a bit of a cold feeling in the air inside the store, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Shen Yanqing also understood at this time, and she remembered what she had experienced in the past few days. She was still plagued by nightmares. Yan Xiaoyi appeared in her dreams every night, causing Shen Yanqing to panic and live in fear every day.
"Uncle Qiao, how did you know?"
Shen Yanqing asked Uncle Qiao timidly. At this time, the air in the room suddenly seemed to drop a few degrees, and Lin Yi's heart seemed to be stuck in his throat.
"Well, I'm old and don't want to meddle in too many other things. I just want to tell you, be careful. I can only tell you that there is an unwilling soul attached to this recorder. If you do
Things are helping it, so it won't hurt you. But this thing is too sinister, so you'd better give it back as soon as possible!" After Uncle Qiao finished speaking, he returned the recording pen to Shen Yanqing.
.
"Well, you can take care of yourself! But it's better to return it to its owner as soon as possible!"
Shen Yanqing was a little confused. The red recorder in his hand looked scary as if blood was dripping on it.
She was a little scared. There was dirt attached to the recorder. What was it? Could it be Yan Xiaoyi's ghost?
Shen Yanqing is now afraid of those ghosts and things, and she doesn't want to continue to experience nightmares.
"Lin Yi, you better hold it first!"
Within a few seconds of taking over the recording pen, Shen Yanqing immediately handed the recording pen to Lin Yi and asked Lin Yi to hold it in his hand. The thing now looked like explosives and seemed to be ready to explode at any time.
.
"Well, thank you Uncle Qiao for reminding us. We all remembered it. Let's go first, bye!" Lin Yi took the recorder very calmly, held it in his hand, and then left to politely talk to Uncle Qiao.
Say goodbye.
Uncle Qiao saw that Lin Yi was really brave. If most people heard what he said, they would probably be scared to death. How could they dare to continue holding this recorder and say goodbye to him so calmly?
.
So, Uncle Qiao admires Lin Yi very much, and his view of Lin Yi has also changed.
"Okay, good job! As I said before, just take care of yourself!"
Lin Yi took the voice recorder and left Uncle Qiao's shop with Shen Yanqing.
When he walked out, Lin Yi remembered that he hadn't given Uncle Qiao any money yet.
Isn't this for nothing? But then I thought about it, the relationship between Uncle Qiao and Shen Yanqing, there is no need to pay him at all. Besides, Uncle Qiao didn't repair anything, he just helped to fix the recording pen.
Just recharge it.
Shen Yanqing didn't know whether it was because he was sleepy, or for some other reason, or maybe because he was afraid, but he was still in a dazed state now.
"Let's go, it's time to go home!" Lin Yi suddenly shouted loudly into Shen Yanqing's ear.
Shen Yanqing was so frightened that she jumped so high.
"Lin Yi, how many of you guys want to scare them to death? What are you doing?"
"What are you talking about? Are you sleepy? Or were you frightened by Uncle Qiao's words?"
"I……"
Shen Yanqing was speechless for a while, but looking at her pale face, she must have been frightened.
"Don't be afraid. Leave the recorder here for safekeeping tonight. Don't worry, Yan Xiaoyi's ghost won't come looking for you!"
"Who said I'm scared? Whoever wants to be scared is a puppy. Lin Yi, I'm wondering if we should listen to the contents of the recorder now. Is there any recording from before Yan Xiaoyi's death?"
"Now? It's so late. I'm afraid Auntie will be worried about your safety. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Lin Yi felt that the time was indeed a bit too late. It was not safe for Shen Yanqing, a girl, to be outside at such a late hour. Lin Yi could not always protect her.
"No, I am now eager to know if there is any content in the recorder?" Shen Yanqing was still short-tempered. She even forgot about the scene in the store just now and Uncle Qiao's reminder.
"Okay, but we can't stand on the road listening to this!"
Lin Yi was right. It was indeed inappropriate for them to listen to this on the road. First, it was crowded with people and it was not quiet. And if it was evidence, it couldn't be played outside.
"I have a place to go!" Lin Yi suddenly remembered.
"Where? It's quiet and safe?" Shen Yanqing looked at Lin Yi suspiciously, wondering what kind of medicine Lin Yi was selling in his gourd.
"Oh, just come with me, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Lin Yi confidently walked to the bus stop with Shen Yanqing. However, they both said hello to their families before getting on the bus. It seemed that they would have to go back late tonight.
