Chapter 36: I Am the Truth
It's almost 11 p.m. and it's supper time.
Chen Le and Xia Jiaobing were hungry.
Xia Xiaobing actually wants to eat in restaurants, private rooms and other places, and she is worried that the restaurant will take off her mask and be recognized by those waiters.
I searched nearby, trying to find a safe store, but I didn't find anything suitable.
In the end, I could only follow Chen Le's advice, followed Chen Le to the small noodle restaurant of the roadside stall, and picked a corner to sit down.
It's darkly lit, and it's facing away from the shop, and no one looks at her in particular.
Then Chen Le ordered a bowl of noodles, and Xia Jiaobing ordered a seafood noodle.
As the noodles were served, Xia Yubing frowned very unhappily, looked at the chopsticks inserted upside down on the table, and complained, "Can you eat things here, have these chopsticks been sterilized, have they been eaten by others, are they safe, are they hygienic, and I don't see any disinfection tools here, has this bowl been washed, is there any bacterial residue, will there be infectious diseases?"
“......”
Chen Le glanced at her silently, regardless of eating his own noodles, he was hungry anyway.
Xia Jiabing saw that he didn't speak, and immediately glared at him, "What kind of attitude do you have, why don't you speak." ”
"I don't know if you ask me, I just know that you can't eat things that don't kill people. ”
“......”
One of the two is the dust on the ground, and the other is the proud daughter of the sky, so naturally they can't say that they can go together.
Xia Jiabing frowned, barely took a bite and put her chopsticks on the bowl and stopped eating.
He muttered in a low voice, "It's too unpalatable, I'd better go home and eat it." ”
It looks like I never want to touch it again.
On the other hand, Chen Le had already eaten a bowl of five divided by two, and even drank the soup.
Then he looked at the whole bowl of seafood noodles in front of Xia Qiaobing, and said a little excitedly, "You really don't eat it?"
Xia Jiabing replied resolutely, "I won't eat it if I am killed." ”
"You're a waste, give me something to eat. ”
"Whatever you want! I don't eat anyway. ”
It's shameful to waste food.
Chen Le stood up slightly and took the seafood noodles in front of Xia Yubing.
Xia Jiabing saw that Chen Le picked up the chopsticks on his face, and hurriedly said, "Hey, the chopsticks ......."
It's a pity that it's too late for her to speak, Chen Le has already started eating, and he looks like he's afraid that others will rob him.
Hearing Xia Yubing's voice, Chen Le bit his face, raised his face and said, "What's wrong with the chopsticks?"
“...... It's okay, you pig's head to die. ”
Xia Jiabing blushed a little.
After all, she is a girl and has a slender mind.
The chopsticks were eaten by her and stuffed into her mouth, and now she was always a little embarrassed to be picked up and eaten by Chen Le.
Isn't this indirect kissing?
This is a pig, doesn't he have chopsticks himself?
Chen Le actually didn't think too much about it, after serving the noodles, there were chopsticks on the noodle bowl, so he naturally picked it up and ate it.
The boy didn't understand what the girl meant, but he was used to being scolded, so he filled his stomach first.
This seafood noodle is precious, and it would be too wasteful to throw it away.
Xia Jiabing still scolded a little angrily, "Pig, no one robs you, why are you eating so fast." ”
By the way, because this is a "working meal", Xia Jiabing said that she invited her to order it casually.
But Chen Le didn't order anything, he still only ordered the cheapest noodles in the bowl without adding anything, and he didn't want to deliberately take advantage of Xia Jiaobing, he was usually so late.
"By the way, is the fire investigation clear?"
"Clear. ”
Chen Le nodded while eating. "That's not a fire!"
"It's not a fire, what is it?" Xia Qiaobing was puzzled.
Only then did Chen Le raise his head, look directly at Xia Qiaobing, and said with a serious face, "That's, a terrorist attack!"
"Terrorist attack?"
"Yes, 12 years ago, there was a bomb terrorist attack in the Yindu Department Store, and a fire broke out at the scene, some people died, some people were injured, some people cried, some people screamed, there were many people, the fire was also very fierce, and many people were surrounded by fire. ”
"If you think about it this way, you probably were in the Yindu department store at the time, and you also experienced that terrorist attack, and then when you ran away, or when your family took you away, you lost that piece of jade. ”
"And because you saw someone die in that terrorist attack and saw some bloody and terrifying scenes, it caused the body's self-protection function to be turned on, and the memory was closed, or scattered, so I can't remember it clearly. ”
In this way, it will be clear. ”
“......”
Xia Jiabing was stunned, and with Chen Le's words, she gradually recalled it in her mind.
Then his eyes widened suddenly, and he slapped the table excitedly and said, "Yes, you're right, I always felt that something was missing at first, in my memory, at the time of that fire, there was actually a 'bang-bang' sound, and now in retrospect, it was the gunfire of a terrorist attack." ”
"Yes," Chen Le replied a little angrily, "So I asked you a long time ago, if it was just a fire, we would have found it earlier, if you had said that there was a gunshot, I would have known that it was not a fire, it was a terrorist attack." ”
“......”
Xia Jiaobing's face suddenly became gloomy, and she stared at Chen Le very unpleasantly.
How could she be wrong, it was Chen Le's fault if she was wrong.
stubbornly replied, "That's also because you didn't understand what I meant, it's all your fault!"
Chen Le was obviously too upright, and he was still arguing with Xia Jiabing there, "Please, you are unreasonable, I asked you, is there something missing, what is missing, you said earlier that we wouldn't waste more than 3 hours." ”
Chen Le was obviously too young, and he actually tried to reason with Xia Jiabing, and the result was naturally.
was glared at fiercely by Xia Yubing's calm little face, "Don't reason with me, I am the reason, I say it's your fault, it's your fault!"
“......”
Chen Le decided not to entangle with her.
Good men don't fight women.
"In short, for the time being, it is certain that you should indeed have experienced that terrorist attack, and it is very likely that Magatama fell at that time, so there are three possibilities left. ”
"One is that Magatama has been dropped in a corner, maybe in a sewer, maybe buried in the ground, or washed into the sea, and no one has picked it up. ”
Xia Jiabing replied with certainty, "It's impossible, that Magatama must be in the hands of another person, and ,...... It should be a boy about my age. ”
Chen Le was puzzled, "Why are you so sure?"
Xia Jiabing stared at him and said, "You don't care how I know, I have my own way, black and white hook jade, cherish each other, and pass it on forever, as long as this black jade is in my hand, the other white jade must be in the hands of another person, and there is a great chance that it is a boy of my age." ”
“...... Why, is there any scientific basis for this?"
"What I say is based on science!"
Xia Jiabing swore that she didn't talk about any scientific principles at all.
Chen Le couldn't help it.
Reluctantly, he said, "Okay, let's assume that what you said is true." ”
"What assumptions, what I said is true, do you understand!"
"Okay, okay, you're amazing, because what you say is true, then we only have two possibilities. ”
Chen Le really can't help her.
"Well, it may have been taken as evidence by the police who participated in the terrorist attack at the time, and kept in the lost and found section of the police station, waiting for someone to claim it. ”
"Second, it was picked up by a passer-by who was at the scene at the time, maybe a robber, or a passer-by like you, who had experienced a terrorist attack, or took it away, and it is unknown whether it was sold or kept at home after being taken away. ”
Xia Jiabing replied with a calm face, "Don't you understand what I mean, the other white jade must be in someone else's hand, not in the lost property,...... Forget it, I'm going to investigate here, and it won't cost much anyway, so what if I'm not there?"
"What else can I do, I can only find and ask from the people who experienced the terrorist attack at that time. ”
“...... That's right, too!"
Xia Xiaobing said that this was actually a little happy, because at least there were clues.
It was rare to look at Chen Le, Ying Ying smiled, "Hmph, yes, you are a little more powerful than I thought, and you really didn't disappoint me, which is like those who boasted one by one where the first detective was, where the first detective, in the end, I didn't even find a clue, I was angry!"
"Is that a compliment to me?"
"Sort of. ”
Xia Jiabing raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "You can take it with gratitude, after all, this may be the only chance in your barren life to receive my praise." ”
Chen Le replied with a blank face, "Yes, then I really thank you, Her Royal Highness Princess Ice." “
"You're welcome, let's leave after eating. ”
Chen Le drank Xia Jiaobing's seafood noodles without even a little soup left, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
Naturally, he was ridiculed by Xia Jiabing again, "It's really useless, it's like a starving ghost reincarnated, next time I will take you to eat delicious food, I will open your eyes, and the province will be embarrassed." ”
"It's a waste of food, it's you who have never been hungry, you don't know how it feels like to have nothing to eat for a week and can only drink water every day, and you can't even wait to gnaw on the bowl at that time. ”
"Do you want me to sympathize with you?"
"No, I need everything, I just don't need sympathy and pity, because I will definitely become a hunter in the future!"
Chen Le said this, looked at Xia Jiabing seriously, and solemnly repeated the sentence again, "I will definitely become a hunter!"
"Hmph. ”
Xia Yubing let out a snort with contempt, looking like she didn't even bother to refute it.
"Let's go. ”
The two of them were talking and walking, but before they had taken a few steps, they were immediately stopped by a group of people......
