They didn't find the plank, so they found a wooden ladder, and the two of them laid the body flat on it. Then they hummed a song, carrying the body one in front and one behind, and walked towards the back mountain. Amandine was bumpy all the way, and listened to the unpleasant song. He woke up halfway and shouted, "Why is there an earthquake again?"
The two heard the dead man speak, and they were so scared that they dropped the ladder and ran away. Amandine was thrown heavily to the ground. Fortunately, he was not injured this time, but his butt hurt. He struggled to get up and touched his face. The blood on his face had already dried. At this time, he thought of Uwa and went back to the warehouse to take a look. When he arrived at the scene, he found that their tent was gone, and Uwa and Beyondbear were not there. He wanted to find someone to ask, but he didn't see anyone. He had nothing now, and he didn't find the gun. With a big bloody face, he left the warehouse. A worker walked by on the opposite side and he was about to ask him a question, but the other party saw his face clearly and turned around and ran away in fear. He thought he should wash his face first. The place to wash his face was not far away. He rinsed it casually and felt refreshed immediately. However, his head hurt. This was the wound caused by the iron rod hit by the supervisor last night. After washing, he went back to the warehouse door and waited. Whenever someone came, he would ask. Finally, he finally found out what happened last night. It seemed that he had to go to the police station to find someone to ask. He rushed to the police station. He had no money on him, so he could only walk on his own. After walking for nearly two hours, he finally arrived at his destination. This is a two-story building with a police station sign hanging on the door. A policeman stood at the door. He walked over and asked, "Sir, was there a woman arrested here last night?" Amandine became polite when he arrived here. The policeman looked him up and down and said, "Two women were arrested last night. Which one are you looking for?" "A very ugly woman with a child." "Oh! That woman is ugly enough. Is she your wife?" The policeman asked curiously. "No, she's my friend."
"That child isn't yours either?"
Amandine shook his head and said, "No!" The police pointed to the inside of the building and said, "Go to the first consultation room and ask again. There is information about all the detainees there."
"Thank you!" If it were in the past, he would never have been able to say these two words. His recent situation has changed him a lot, especially after Uwa's accident, he has become more cautious. When he arrived at the consultation room, there was a woman inside. She looked up at Amandine and waited for his question. Amandine cleared his throat and considered how to address the person in front of her. He wanted to call her Miss, but the other party seemed to be over this age. If she was called Madam, she didn't know if she was married. Then he remembered that she could be addressed as Ms. "Hello, Ms, may I ask if there was an ugly woman caught here last night? Her name is Uwa."
"There is such a person. What is your relationship with her?" the woman asked.
"I'm her friend."
"What do you want to do with her? If it's a visit, forget it. She is a serious criminal and can't be visited now."
"When can I?" Amandine asked anxiously. "Wait until the day of the court appearance! It will be about half a month later." After learning the details of the case, Amandine left the police station. He had nowhere to go, was hungry, and had a wound on his head. He was really unlucky. He was ready to repeat his old trick and eat a free meal again. He spotted a restaurant and walked in, "Waiter, bring me all your best dishes." The waitress saw that he was dirty and hesitated for a moment. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times, "What are you looking at? Hurry up?" Amandine knew that he couldn't feel guilty at this time. He had to pretend to be a million shillings. Not long after sitting down, the signature dishes and some snacks were served. He wolfed them down and ate them very happily. It has been a long time since he went to that ghost warehouse. Unfortunately, no matter how delicious the food is, it will be finished. When the plate was almost clean, he looked around and was ready to run away at any time. The waitress had already been eyeing him and asked two people to guard the door to prevent him from escaping at any time. Looking at the two people at the door, Amandine was at a loss, "What should I do? Do people here suspect me?" He ate slower and slower, fearing that the other party would come to ask for money after he finished eating. Ten minutes later, the waitress was impatient and came over to ask, "Sir, how long will you eat? We have other guests to eat." Amandine was dissatisfied, "Why? I have never heard of a set time for eating in a restaurant." The waitress did not answer his question, but sneered. "Sir, you have been eating for almost two hours. Can you settle the bill first? The total is fifty-three shillings." "Ah! So much?" This was half a month's salary when he was guarding the warehouse. "Sir, how much did you eat just now? Don't you want to admit it after eating?"
"Okay! To tell you the truth, I have no money. If you want to fight, come on!" After saying that, he hurriedly covered the wound on his head with his hands. As soon as the words fell, the waitress waved and called the two people at the door to watch him, and then went to the back room to find someone. A woman in her thirties came out after a while. She saw Amandine and said, "Sir, I am the manager here. We will not beat customers. Now you have no money, so work here for three months to pay off your debts!" Amandine was very dissatisfied when he heard it, "You want me to work for three months for more than fifty shillings? You are crazy."
"You are worthless." After saying that, the female manager left without looking back.
Amandine felt like he was hit hard in the heart at this time. He got the invisibility cloak when he was very young and grew up under the care of his father. He always thought he was a talent and few things could stump him. But since he lost the invisibility cloak and left his father, he suddenly became an ordinary person. No! It should be a useless person who is worse than ordinary people. In recent years, he has not accomplished anything and has become poorer and poorer. He has already lived for free. Now he understands that he used to be like a cheating student. Without the invisibility cloak and his father, he is nothing (the story of Amandine and his father is introduced in the book "Time Travelers from the Umbrella House"). There was no other way but to stay. Reality had hit him hard. Every day, he mechanically swept the floor, wiped the table, and washed the dishes without any emotion. These were the jobs that Uwa used to do, and now he picked them up to do them. Doing the same job as Uwa, he couldn't help but think of this woman, "Am I really in love with her? People are really strange. After getting along for a long time, she doesn't look as ugly as before." Now he has to wait for the court session for half a month. Time passes day by day. The day before leaving the court, he wants to ask the female manager for leave. His excuse is to go out and play with his girlfriend. The other party was surprised and asked, "You also have a girlfriend?"
"What? Am I ugly?"
"Anyone in the restaurant is prettier than you. Even the chef's dog is prettier than you." The female manager said sarcastically.
