The salesperson recommended the Hong Kong version of the iPhone 5s, but Xiao Qin shook her head.
"Apple phones are expensive and easily targeted by thieves. I'd be sad if it got stolen."
Although the ¥4000 was basically a retroactive payment to Xiao Qin, I don't think it's a good idea to buy an Apple phone either way.
First of all, if the salesperson didn't sell the iPhone 5s, it would mean it wasn't from a legitimate source. In the future, we might run into trouble with warranty issues.
Secondly, I don't like Apple's closed system. In comparison, Android's open system is much friendlier (Actually, it's because I don't know how to use Apple's system. If I can't fix it, I would lose face in front of Xiao Qin).
After giving up on Apple, I originally wanted to buy Xiao Qin an Android phone from Motorola that was acquired by Google. But Xiao Qin thought it was too expensive and insisted the salesperson bring out a phone that cost ¥1000.
After a series of compromises, I bought a ¥2600 HTC phone for Xiao Qin. The exterior and configuration were pretty good, and Xiao Qin also liked the clear white color.
In the end, I saved ¥1400, but I planned to use it all on Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin recently bought a lot of manga props and had a tight allowance, so I might as well treat Xiao Qin to a restaurant.
Xiao Qin switched her SIM card and turned on the screen. She was overjoyed when she saw the changing colors.
"Roar! That's the phone you bought for me! I can't wait to let the whole world know! I'll send a message to the Rose Three and Little Strawberry later! It's fine to let them know, right? "
"Also, it shouldn't be that easy to get stolen if it's a brand that doesn't buy Apple. No one would steal a phone like Confused Bug, right? "
"Umm …" The salesperson couldn't help but ridicule, "HTC isn't short for Confused Bug!"
Seeing the salesperson shove the unsold iPhone 5s back under the counter, I half-jokingly said: "Are you disappointed that we didn't buy an apple?"
"Not at all," the salesperson drawled. "As long as it's not like you and your dad last time, who only looked at it but didn't buy it, I'm satisfied!"
As he spoke, he pointed to an oval counter next to the rolling elevator. "My iPhone 5S from Hong Kong is definitely authentic. I got it from my relative. His store sells mainland goods. If you don't believe me, you can go there and ask."
Xiao Qin was focused on fiddling with her new phone and didn't raise her head to look, but I followed the direction the salesperson was pointing and glanced over.
It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but when I looked, I actually saw someone I knew!
Fan Chuan and Shu Zhe were sitting in front of an oval counter with their backs to us!
Fan Chuan was buying an iPhone for Shu Zhe! It was probably because of this that Shu Zhe agreed to Fan Chuan's request. Wearing a wig and a short skirt, he was currently dressed as a trap!
Fan Chuan, have you finally saved enough money to buy an iPhone? Where there is a will, there is a way! Apart from the 3,000 yuan salary he received from Golden Lightning's second team, he had to go to other places to do odd jobs to earn enough money to buy an iPhone 5S!
Also, Shu Zhe, you're really shameless! For the sake of an iPhone 5S, it's not a problem for you to dress as a trap in public! You're clearly a boy, but your clothes are much more seductive than Xiao Qin's — — your head turns are 20% more than Xiao Qin's!
Neither Fan Chuan, who was wholeheartedly focused on being a trap, nor Shu Zhe, who was putting on airs and ignoring Fan Chuan, noticed me and Xiao Qin. I was also too lazy to greet them. If we met under these circumstances, it would definitely be awkward. At that time, I would have to explain to Xiao Qin how Shu Zhe developed a habit of cross-dressing.
There were a lot of people in the computer market, so I didn't waste any more time after I bought the phone for Xiao Qin.
When they arrived at the fountain square, it was just in time for the fountain to open. A row of water pillars that were five to six meters high rushed into the air and scattered with the wind. Everyone who was suffering from the torment of the hot summer felt a momentary chill.
Xiao Qin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and let the mist hit her face. Her expression was relaxed and dreamy.
She probably thought the fountain was a Roman wishing pool, so she clasped her hands together and made a wish:
"I hope I can be this happy every day from now on … No, I'm too greedy. As long as I can be this happy every now and then, I'll be satisfied!"
Before she finished speaking, the crowd behind us suddenly became chaotic.
"Someone's stealing phones! Catch the robbers! "
I vigilantly turned around and saw four young men in the crowd. They didn't look much older than me. Each of them had snatched a valuable cell phone from someone else. Then, they ran in different directions. I guessed they were in cahoots.
Damn! They're openly robbing in broad daylight without even covering their faces! Are they crazy thinking about money!
One of the young men who had a very fierce appearance (of course, he couldn't compare to me) ran in the direction of Xiao Qin and me. He was holding an iPhone that he had just stolen. He probably wanted to go around the fountain and escape through an underground tunnel.
Spiderman's uncle once said: With great power comes great responsibility. Also, I accompanied Xiao Qin to buy a phone today, so I can understand what it's like to have your phone stolen after buying it for your girlfriend.
Thus I didn't think too much and casually reached out and grabbed the robber's arm like a snake coming out of its hole. Then I turned my body halfway and used the force of the robber's arm to push him from behind. I made him do a forward somersault with his wrist as the axis and he fell head first into the fountain.
"Fuck …" The robber didn't even finish his sentence before he choked on a mouthful of water.
A second before he splashed, Xiao Qin caught the iPhone that fell from his hand. Then we looked at each other and retreated at the same time. We stayed away from the fountain and didn't get a single drop of water splashed on us.
If it wasn't for my viral heart disease, I'm afraid I would never be able to practice Yin Yang Sanshou to this level in my lifetime — — the robber was unlucky to run towards us.
The robber was also able to take a fall. He crawled out of the fountain dripping wet and stared at Xiao Qin and me with bewilderment and a hint of threat.
I didn't admit defeat and thought, I'm not afraid of you when it comes to glares. Thus, I glared back like a murderer and it made the robber shiver.
"Just you wait." He turned around and ran after throwing out a sentence that villains often say.
Since we already seized the stolen goods, Xiao Qin and I didn't continue to chase after him because we didn't want to get our clothes wet.
They say don't chase a cornered enemy. These robbers might have knives on them, so if they were cornered, they might do something desperate and hurt us. Although Xiao Qin and I have good martial arts, there was no need to take the risk, so we left the rest to the police.
One of their accomplices was killed by me. The other three robbers turned around and stared at me as if they were saying 'just you wait'. I feel like they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They don't seem like people who would fight with their lives on the line unless they were forced to a certain point.
After the robbers ran into the underground tunnel, the chaos in the plaza passed and we entered the discussion stage. Xiao Qin and I stood next to the fountain and waited for the owner of the iPhone to come and claim it. We never thought that the unlucky ones who got their new phone would be Fan Chuan and Shu Zhe.
"Luckily I met you." Fan Chuan patted my shoulder in relief, "I thought two months of savings was gone just like that. I never thought you were as good as the Five Tiger Punishment Squad usually boast. "
Xiao Qin, who had androphobia, lowered her head and remained silent in front of Fan Chuan. She handed the iPhone 5s to me and I handed it over to Fan Chuan.
Three steps behind Fan Chuan was Shu Zhe, who was wearing a brown wig and was dressed like a beautiful girl. He attracted a lot of men's gazes. 'Her' expression seemed to be annoyed and angry. In short, it was as if she was dissatisfied with everything in the world.
"Class … class leader?" Xiao Qin exclaimed in a low voice after seeing Shu Zhe's face, but she immediately noticed that his hair color and temperament were different, which made Xiao Qin frown in confusion.
Fan Chuan and Shu Zhe were lucky compared to the other three people who had their phones stolen. The others couldn't get their phones back, so they could only hope for the police or accept their bad luck.
The area near the computer market was also a crime prone area, so six police officers quickly arrived to investigate the case. Since I, Xiao Qin, Fan Chuan, and Shu Zhe were the parties involved, we couldn't avoid being questioned by the police.
Due to the new rule of recording the entire case, they were quite polite and didn't put on any airs.
"Excuse me, if time permits, can you follow us to the nearby police station to make a statement? It's on this street. "
Other than asking Fan Chuan and Shu Zhe, I also asked the other three victims who had their phones stolen. Since it was related to whether or not their phones could be recovered, they all cooperated to make a statement.
Shu Zhe whispered to Fan Chuan that he didn't want to make a statement. It wasn't hard to understand — — his phone was taken back by me, and he was a boy dressed as a trap. It would be inconvenient for him to go to a serious place like the police station.
Fan Chuan was very obedient to traps, so he naturally said he had urgent matters to attend to and didn't want to make a statement. The police officers were disappointed to see that they didn't realize what was going on.
"Sigh, youngsters these days don't care about others if they don't suffer losses themselves …"
"Old Yuan, don't complain, we're still recording!"
The police officer holding a recording device reminded him in a low voice.
After Shu Zhe took back the iPhone 5S from Fan Chuan's hands, he didn't even say a word of thanks to me and Xiao Qin. He turned around and left. Fan Chuan could only thank us one more time, then he followed like a tail and gradually disappeared behind the crowd.
After the two victims left, the police officer Old Yuan turned around and looked at Xiao Qin and me. He said with high hopes:
"I heard that the two of you knew the victims and even helped them get their phones back. You even had a close look at the criminals … If it's convenient, can you come back with us to give us a statement?"
"Okay." I agreed, "It's not even lunch time yet, so it won't take too long for us to make a statement … Can you turn on the air conditioning in the police station?"
"Of course! We'll even provide you with drinks to cool off the heat. "Old Yuan was very enthusiastic.
"Mhmm." I nodded, "It's a hot day, there's air conditioning, drinks, and I'm a Good Samaritan, not a criminal suspect … it's definitely worth going!"
"Ah?" Old Yuan didn't feel right. In fact, when he arrived at the crime scene, he couldn't help but subconsciously reach for his handcuffs when he saw my face. It was only after the crowd reminded him that he realized I wasn't a criminal, but a new generation Good Samaritan.
"If you want to go, then I'll go too!" Xiao Qin became inexplicably excited, "I've already seen the faces of the four bad guys! Not only can I make a statement, but I can also help you draw them! "
Xiao Qin said while proudly patting the sketchbook in her bag.
"I'm a mangaka! I don't even need to think about it to know I'm an expert at sketching people! With my superb painting skills, I can definitely arrest the criminal and bring him to justice! "
"Really!?"
Old Yuan and his colleagues were overjoyed when they heard Xiao Qin agreed to draw the suspects' portraits.
"That'll be a great help! If you can solve the case with your sketches, then you'll have done a great service! We'll notify your school and give you a commendation! "
"Don't worry ^ _ ^, leave it to me!" Xiao Qin became more and more excited as she listened and she clenched her fists confidently, "With my drawings, the criminals won't be able to escape the law!"
"That's great!" The police who were standing a bit further away also came over and said, "I was just worried that no one would take pictures of the criminals! With this girl's sketches, the solved rate this month … "
Don't believe it! Don't believe Xiao Qin's words! You're still delusional enough to rely on Xiao Qin's sketches to increase the solved rate? Be careful you might be misled into catching the criminals in the greenhouse!
I quickly said Xiao Qin's drawing skills aren't good, so I shouldn't let her sketch the suspects. The police thought I was being modest for my girlfriend, so they didn't listen to my advice. Instead, they were incomparably enthusiastic and invited us to the nearby police station.
Twenty minutes later, the police's expressions weren't as cheerful.
After making a simple statement, Xiao Qin took out her professional sketchbook and 3B pencils under the ardent expectations of half the police station. Her expression was focused as her pen moved like dragons and snakes. With 120% of the style of a famous artist, she finally completed the suspect portrait that everyone was waiting for.
Needless to say, as long as you put in enough effort, you can grind an iron pestle into a needle. After Xiao Qin trained hard for many days, it really wasn't the usual potato and eggplant.
Xiao Qin drew four ninja turtles for the police.
