Hey, hey, hey, hey...
With experience, Edgar Austin welded the key this time faster than he had just welded the cast iron piece. He finished the weld in less than five minutes, and it was even better than before.
The man in the suit excitedly grabbed the still-hot cast-iron key with a red cloth, observing the welds and patterns. Then he said to the woman next to him: "Give him six thousand yuan and let's go."
Without saying a word, the sexy girl ordered six thousand yuan from her wallet and gave it to Edgar Austin.
Edgar Austin handed the money to Old Man Jiang, but Old Man Jiang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, how can I take this money, young man? If I take it, there will be no place for my old face. You earned this money , you can keep it for yourself."
Edgar Austin smiled, "Then I'll stay."
While the two were talking, the man in the suit and the sexy girl had already left, without even saying a single unnecessary word.
"It's mysterious, I don't know what it does." Old Man Jiang muttered.
Edgar Austin was actually very strange in his heart. He secretly said: "The key must be hundreds of years old, right? Why was it broken? How could these two people come to this remote place to find the welding master?"
"Young man, let's continue talking." Old Man Jiang said.
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Well, sir, just give me a price."
Old Man Jiang said: "Originally I wanted to sell it for 110,000 yuan. As you can see, with these equipment, the port here, and two years' rent, the price is very reasonable. However, I see you showing off your skills. , old man, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. I have been doing this all my life, and I have never seen anyone with such good skills as you. It is a kind of fate that I hand over this store that has been with me for half my life to you. Let’s do this, just give me one hundred and five thousand.”
"Deal, thank you, uncle."Edgar Austin was also very happy.
It was almost dark when all the formalities were completed, and Edgar Austin called Kaiden Barlow over. He told Kaiden Barlow what happened, and Kaiden Barlow was stunned.
"My brother, where did you get so much money? Isn't it too sudden to buy this store all of a sudden?"Kaiden Barlow's expression was exaggerated.
"Don't worry about the money. I'm just asking if you are interested in working with me?"Edgar Austin said.
"Of course I do. I've been wherever you are these past few years. We brothers have always been together. If I go work for someone else, I might as well work for you."Kaiden Barlow said happily.
"Then let's work together. You won't work for me, and we'll share the money equally."Edgar Austin said.
"That won't work. This store is yours. How can I share it equally with you? My brothers will settle the accounts. Let's do this. If you make more money, give me more points. If you make less money, give me less points. If you lose money, , I don’t want your money.”Kaiden Barlow said.
"You kid, okay, it's settled. I'll buy some equipment later, then simply decorate the store and it'll be open."Edgar Austin said with a smile.
"Have you decided on a store name?"Kaiden Barlow asked.
Edgar Austin thought for a moment, "Well, my surname is Lei, and your surname is Ma, let's call it Lei Ma Studio." 2
"Not good."Kaiden Barlow said.
"Do you have a better one?"Edgar Austin looked at Kaiden Barlow curiously.
Kaiden Barlow smiled and said, "Your surname is Lei, and my future sister-in-law's surname is Jiang. She should be called Lei Jiang Studio."
"Fuck you!"Edgar Austin Lei slapped him, but Kaiden Barlow dodged it early.
Both of them are very happy to have their own studio. It feels like someone who has been wandering for a long time suddenly has a home.
The two of them cleared away the debris in the store, and then cleaned up again. It wasn't until Brynlee Austin called to urge them to have dinner that they rode a dilapidated Qianjiang 125 motorcycle back.
That night, Edgar Austin ordered several pieces of equipment and tools online, spending tens of thousands more. The money he won in Macau has almost been spent at this point. With the money gone, he felt more at ease. With my own studio, not to mention making a lot of money, my work and income will definitely be more stable than before. More importantly, with the ability of his left eye, as long as he makes a name for himself in this industry, he might be able to do something big!
Edgar Austin had a good sleep that night. He dreamed of Elaine and Julianna...
Early the next morning, Edgar Austin ate some porridge and went out. As soon as he came downstairs, he met Elaine who was walking upstairs. If he hadn't stepped aside on his own initiative, Elaine would have bumped into his arms.
"Elaine, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling lost so early in the morning?"Edgar Austin said.
"Oh, I was just going to your house to find you." When Elaine saw Edgar Austin, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Don't smile at me. Nothing good will happen if you smile at me."Edgar Austin said: "Let me make it clear to you first. I don't have time to go shopping with you to buy clothes today. If you really need someone to accompany you, I will let you Brynlee will go with you."
"What other clothes are you buying? Now I'm not happy even if I wear a dragon robe."Elaine frowned again.
"What happened?"
Elaine said quickly: "When I had lunch with you yesterday, didn't I receive a call asking me to go to the scene of the crime? When we encountered a difficult case, a death order was issued, giving our branch one week to solve the case, otherwise Just remove me as director.” 1
"What case is it? It's not that serious, right?"
"Why is it not serious? Professor Francisco, a leading figure in the archaeological field in Haizhu City, was killed at home two days ago. His body was discovered yesterday when his maid came back from her hometown. The murderer's methods were very sophisticated and no traces were left at the scene. , even the monitor terminal has been taken away, and we don’t have any clues to solve the case."Elaine said with a sad face, "Edgar, what do you think I should do?"
"This kind of thing is really troublesome, but I can't help you."Edgar Austin said.
"Who said you can't help? I came here to ask for your help."
Edgar Austin said in surprise: "Me? I'm not a policeman, and I'm not a private detective. How can I help you?"
Elaine said: "Don't you know a woman with a good background? The woman who pointed a gun at Li Qinghua's head last night. I thought about it all night last night. She is so powerful and has a good background. She can definitely help me get through this. Get through this difficult time.”
Edgar Austin, "..."
"Edgar, just help me. You can't bear to see me only be the director for a week, right?"Elaine took Edgar Austin's hand and shook it gently, looking coquettish.
Edgar Austin couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm really not familiar with her, so it's impossible for someone to help her like this, right?" At this point, he suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, you just said you lost a cultural relic, what did you lose? Cultural relics?”
"It's a key."
Edgar Austin's heart skipped a beat and he asked anxiously: "What key?"
"It seems to be an iron key, with a history of hundreds of years."Elaine looked at Edgar Austin, "Why do you ask this?"
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "I happened to have seen that key."
Elaine said in surprise: "Have you seen that key? How is this possible?"
Edgar Austin told what happened yesterday afternoon.
"Hurry up, come with me!"Elaine pulled Edgar Austin towards the parking lot of the community.
"Where are you taking me?"
Elaine excitedly: "Follow me to the police station. There are photos of the key in my office, as well as some information about Professor Santiago's research on it. You can take a look. The most important thing is, describe the two keys for me. Personal features, I draw them.”
Edgar Austin sighed secretly. He originally planned to go to his studio, but now it seems that he can't go.
Half an hour later, Edgar Austin followed Elaine to the Beigong District Police Station. As soon as he entered the police station, Edgar Austin found that the police officers in the police station were looking at him and Elaine, and many of them had gloating in their eyes. These people seemed to be waiting to see Elaine's joke. If Elaine was removed from the position of director within a week, it would really be enough for them to make fun of him for a while.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I hate these guys."Elaine urged Edgar Austin in a low voice.
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "You are the director and their superior. How can superiors be afraid of subordinates? You should be a little dignified."
"Let's get over the situation at hand before we talk about dignity."Elaine pushed Edgar Austin's shoulder and walked forward, not minding the strange looks from his colleagues in the police station at all.
After entering the office, Elaine took out a document bag and handed it to Edgar Austin's hand.
There are several photos in the document bag, including photos of the body, photos of the scene, and a photo of the key.
Edgar Austin was stunned when he saw the key in the photo.
The key in the photo is exactly the key he welded yesterday. The length, color and texture of the two are exactly the same!
The appearance of the man in suit and the sexy girl suddenly appeared in his mind. Their clothes, height, faces, eyes, etc. all appeared in his mind one by one. It felt as if he had returned to the time and space of yesterday afternoon, watching the two of them with his own eyes in Old Man Jiang's shop!
"What's going on? How can I remember it so clearly? It's like looking at a photo of the two of them. Even if you have excellent memory, it's impossible to reach this level, right?"Edgar Austin was shocked.
Elaine stared at Edgar Austin, "What did you think of?"
Edgar Austin didn't seem to hear her voice. He closed his eyes and recalled the patterns of the cast iron keys he had welded. The image of the cast iron key reappeared in his mind, and the complex lines were clearly presented in his mind. Every detail was very clear, as if he was looking at the key with his own eyes. Same as the photo!
Xia Lei opened his eyes half a minute Edgar Austin and looked at the photo of the key. The pattern of the key he recalled just now was exactly the same as the pattern of the key in the photo. In his memory just now, he hardly forgot any details!
Edgar Austin suddenly understood. This was not a memory at all. It was more like his left eye stored the images of everything he had seen. As long as he recalled a certain image, his left eye would provide a picture as clear as a photo. picture!
Unintentionally, he discovered a new ability of his left eye - photographic memory!
