the landlord is a former

"The ring on 0823's hand is missing, and the family insisted that we stole it..."

These words rang in Fu Baiqiu's ears like thunder, she immediately put down her chopsticks and frowned: "What's going on?"

"Just now C and I pushed 0823 to the family members to see. The family members said that his daughter had a silver ring on her hand, but it was gone. I explained that I didn't see it when I pushed it out. The family members thought we stole it. .” It was a young guy, it was the first time he encountered such a thing, he was anxious but helpless.

"Miss Fu, go and have a look, it's all arguing."

Fu Baiqiu stood up without saying a word, and left the cafeteria like a gust of wind.

Jiang Ning was holding the plate of freshly prepared rice, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Fu Baiqiu's back disappearing at the door, and was taken aback for a moment: "Master!"

She looked at the seat where Fu Baiqiu was sitting just now, she didn't move much, she hesitated for a moment, put down the plate and chased him out.

The funeral home covers a vast area, and the farewell hall is divided into three Chinese-style and three Western-style rooms, each with a different name.Fu Baiqiu searched along the main hall path one by one, and heard the quarrel in the Longevity Hall from a distance, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The coffin and wreaths in the hall have been properly arranged, and the photos of the deceased are placed in the center of the white curtain, but the ceremony has not yet been held.

Two or three family members dressed in black surrounded colleague C, their faces were red and their ears were red, and their voices resounded in the hall. The master of ceremonies who presided over the ceremony looked at them awkwardly with a manuscript, and shook his head helplessly.

Arguing in such a place is disrespectful to the deceased.

"The ring was on the hand when the person brought it over, why didn't you have enough time to put on makeup?"

"That's right, only your own people can go in. If you didn't take it, would there be a ghost?"

Colleague C was blocked by his family members in a corner, and it was difficult to speak. Fu Baiqiu walked over quickly and stood in front of him: "I'm sorry, your daughter was burialed by me, and all the procedures were completed by myself. If you have any questions, please Come at me."

The family members froze for a moment, a little surprised: "You?"

"I'm the undertaker here."

"Then let me ask you, where did the ring on my daughter's hand go? Did she run away with long legs or fly with wings? Today you must give me an explanation!"

Fu Baiqiu turned his head and asked his colleague C: "Have you looked in the dressing room?"

"I've looked for it, on the ground and in the cabinets, but nothing."

"Will it be in the funeral clothes?" She glanced at the open wooden coffin.

Inside the wooden coffin lay a young woman, her face faded from gray after makeup, exuding vitality, as if she was asleep.The eyes of the middle-aged woman were red and swollen. When she saw her daughter, she began to wipe her tears again. She was so choked up that she couldn't speak. Although the husband next to her was not crying, her face was not good-looking. "We looked for it just now, but we couldn't find it. There are only your staff inside, we can't get in at all, who knows what happened?"

Another slightly younger man pointed at Fu Baiqiu, gritted his teeth and said, "I think you stole it, earning money from dead people and stealing things from dead people, are you really not afraid of retribution for harming your virtue?"

"Who is dead? Dandan is not dead..." The middle-aged woman yelled at him, crying bitterly while supporting the coffin.

Colleague C just wanted to reason, Fu Baiqiu stopped him and looked at the family members: "We have professional principles, and we will return valuables to the family members if we find valuables on the deceased, but I didn't see your daughter wearing a ring just now."

"Fart!" The middle-aged man slapped the edge of the wooden coffin, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, "You mean I blackmailed you? Come, come, let me show you the photo."

He took out his mobile phone, pressed it twice, and stuck it in front of Fu Baiqiu's eyes: "You can see clearly, it was like this when my daughter was sent here."

The photo was taken on the funeral car, and the light was relatively dark, but it was obvious that the deceased was wearing a silver ring on his right index finger.

Fu Baiqiu frowned, thinking back carefully, just now there were only her and the apprentice in the dressing room, and Jiang Ning did the changing of the mortuary clothes in 0823 and 0824, and she was the one who did the makeup, but she checked everything at the end, and indeed she hadn't seen this one ring.

Considering the respect for the deceased, there is no surveillance system installed in the dressing room, and even if they want to prove themselves, they don't know how to prove it.

Seeing that she was silent, the family members were even more certain that she had stolen the ring, pointed at her nose and cursed: "Are you guilty? I know that you are doing this business on the surface, but you don't know how many dirty deeds you have done behind your back. An ashes The box sells for 2000 yuan. It’s just a hall that anyone can use. It costs a few hundred to put some broken white flowers, and a few hundred to carry a coffin. Can you sleep at night with this money? Or keep it for your mother Want to buy a wreath?"

Fu Baiqiu lowered his face, clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist.

"What are you talking about? Why is our business so dirty?" Colleague C was outraged, and stepped forward to argue.

Jiang Ning who was following happened to see this scene, and when he heard these words, he immediately forgot what he was going to do, and rushed to push the family members away: "Where did the dog come from biting people, with such a smelly mouth, did they eat maggots?"

"What are you little girl..."

"Jiang Ning!" Seeing that the apprentice was about to roll up his sleeves and fight, Fu Baiqiu stopped in time and grabbed her, "Go back to the office."

"Master, 0823's ring was taken off by me. It was in the pocket of her changed clothes. I forgot to tell you. I wanted to put it on after changing it..." Jiang Ning hurriedly explained without thinking about getting angry.

The family members are confident now: "Look! You said it wasn't your own fault!"

"It should not be thrown away, I will take you to find it now."

Jiang Ning led the family members to the dressing room. Normally, the clothes of the deceased would be incinerated and disposed of. The clothes of the five deceased in the morning were piled on the ground at the door before they could be sent away.

At this time, the family members thought it was bad luck and refused to use it. Jiang Ning went to rummage with his bare hands, took out a silver ring from the pocket of a jacket, and held it up.

"Hey, this is it!"

"Apologize to my master!" Jiang Ning stood up, threw the clothes on the ground, stomped hard, and pointed to Fu Baiqiu who followed behind.

"..."

"hurry up!"

The middle-aged man's face was blue and white, and he reluctantly said "I'm sorry", took the ring and walked away dejectedly.

Jiang Ning's face was flushed with anger, his chest heaved greatly, he calmed down for a while, looked at Fu Baiqiu timidly, and whispered: "Master, I'm sorry, I was careless..."

"Remember to wear gloves next time." Fu Baiqiu patted her on the shoulder lightly, with a calm tone, "Otherwise you will be in trouble if you encounter some virus or bacteria."

"Yeah, master, why are you so short-tempered, you should have scolded me back just now."

Fu Baiqiu hooked the corners of his lips and shook his head: "It's me who loses my temper and hurts, there's no need."

angry?Indeed, the other party not only insulted her, but also insulted her mother who had passed away for many years, but the anger was so real, she found a kind of emotion among emotions.

At the beginning, it was difficult for her to accept the fact that she became an orphan. She was depressed and anxious for several times, lost all perception of everything, had no emotions, and was like a walking dead. She wanted to live and live well, so she chose to work in a funeral home, a place full of death, to Awaken your senses.

It is a good thing that she will be angry today.

When he got home, there was a gentle and melodious piano sound in the room. Fu Baiqiu was about to enter the password, he paused his arms, and put it down slowly.

The solemn tune begins with a slow introduction, with an epic and tragic atmosphere, the lingering reverberation, and then calm sadness, anxiety, and enthusiasm.

Chopin's Ballade No. [-] in G minor.

The sound of that piano is quite perfect, the treble is clear, the bass is thick, and every note is full of penetration. Fu Baiqiu stood at the door and listened quietly. She doesn't know much about piano or classical music, but she just likes listening to Shijin's playing If you listen to it a lot, you will know what that person is playing and whose composition it is.

She loves Wuwu as much as she loves those composers.

The song came to a point where it was intense, but it stopped abruptly.

Fu Baiqiu came back to his senses and waited with bated breath. There was no movement inside, and the surrounding was so quiet that only the sound of dead leaves being blown by the wind and falling to the ground could be heard.

She entered the password, pressed her fingerprints, and pushed the door open.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were half open, and the curtains were blown slightly by the wind. Shi Jinzhi was sitting on the piano bench writing something, with her back straight, her head tilted to one side, and her curly long brown hair hanging down her waist. She sat there, as if The living room is not a living room, it is Vienna.

"Why don't you play anymore?" Fu Baiqiu threw the bag away, sat on the sofa, crossed his legs.

Shi Jinzhi's back froze, and he turned his head happily: "What does Maomao want to hear?"

"You haven't practiced the piano these days."

"..."

In just a few days, they got along fairly well, but Fu Baiqiu felt something was wrong, just now he eavesdropped outside the door and remembered that this person used to practice the piano for five hours every day, but he only heard it today.

"Something happened recently, I..."

Fu Baiqiu turned his gaze and interrupted softly: "What is more important than the piano, it is your life."

The familiar words were still in his ears, with irony in them, Shi Jinzhi took a deep breath, and his eyes turned red in an instant.She finally had a feeling that the two of them were already familiar with each other, and finally they were no longer in a way of getting along like strangers, but this sentence hurt her heart.

Because she once said during the quarrel that the piano is her own life, and no one can compare.

"Maomao..." she choked up, and the warm liquid slid down her cheeks.

Fu Baiqiu's mind buzzed.

she cried.

The author has something to say: Shi: Nonsense, I smashed the piano right now [whispering.jpg]
