09. Be gentle

The young man is about the same age as Jiang Yining, in his early 20s.

His hair was a little long, and the hair on both sides was bursting open, probably not a haircut in a while, but it was cleanly washed.

His skin was tanned by the sun, and between his demeanor, you could see at a glance the black and white dividing line at his sleeve collar.

If you look closely, you can also see the not too thick cocoon in the young man's palm.

The young man was wearing an old short-sleeved shirt with washed hair, and the words printed on his chest had almost fallen off.

The lower body is also a pair of jeans that are washed white, and there is a pair of torn sneakers on the feet, and the lace holes are rotten, but they are not dirty.

At the young man's feet, there was an old leather bag leaning on his lap, and from the broken zipper, a few small toy packages that had not been opened could be faintly seen.

At this time, the young man's eyes wandered away from the porcelain bowl in front of him, which had been eaten and drunk, sometimes worried, sometimes angry.

It seems that there is some tangling.

"See. ”

Jiang Yining looked at the young man and said to Xiao Weiyuan, "What do you want to do?"

"Let's make a bet on what he's going to do next, and see which of us can judge correctly. ”

Xiao Weiyuan opened his slender eyes, and said with a fighting spirit: "The reason why I made a mistake in judgment in the morning was because I misexpected you, and now I want to compete with you to prove the strength of my Southeast Criminal Master!"

"You don't remember to eat or fight, you just forgot the pain of the scar. ”

Jiang Yining pursed his lips and sneered: "Okay, I'll bet with you." But what the bet is has to be made clear first, I can't play for money, I'm poor. ”

"Well, if I win, you resign to be my assistant!" Xiao Weiyuan said with a straight face.

Jiang Yining tactically leaned back and wanted to laugh: "Who gave you the courage to let me be your assistant?... What if I win?"

"You won... What do you want if you win?" Xiao Weiyuan felt a chill down his spine and became vigilant.

Jiang Yining pointed at the young man with his chin: "If I win, you go and help him settle the meal money." Of course, our meal is also your knot, okay. ”

"Oka, that's it. Xiao Weiyuan immediately agreed.

"Then tell me first, what is your inference?"

"My inference..."

Xiao Weiyuan thought that the preparation was sufficient this time, and said: "He definitely wants to repay the debt." ”

Jiang Yining covered his mouth and controlled his expression: "What is the reason?"

"First of all, his economic conditions are not good, it should be said that he belongs to a very poor category, you can see at a glance. ”

Xiao Weiyuan said: "Secondly, he should be a very self-respecting and sensitive person, although he is so poor that he is reluctant to get a haircut, he still washes his clothes and sticks to the final bottom line." Thirdly, the food in this noodle restaurant is not expensive, but it is not cheap either.

Looking at this person's expression again, he should be planning to do something wrong, he should be a good person, if he is angry, I think he may have listened to someone to introduce him, specifically to experience the pasta here, but it is far from his expectations.

Therefore, I think that he will either default on the debt, or he will want to escape the order, and the worst is to raise a bar with the store owner and ask for a discount. ”

"Poof..."

Jiang Yining almost laughed out loud when he covered his mouth, "At your level, you generalize, look ahead and ignore the future, and ask me to be your assistant, where do you get your confidence?"

It's this yin and yang weirdness, it's this yang weird tune!

Xiao Weiyuan once again felt the feeling of being ridiculed by Jiang Yining in the morning, and the toothpicks between his fingers were broken by him.

"How do you know I'm wrong? I remind you, self-confidence is good, but overconfidence is conceit!"

Xiao Weiyuan puffed up and said, "You said that I generalized everything,... So what do you infer, say?"

Jiang Yining looked at the young man who was clenched into fists, and said with a straight face: "He wants to use counterfeit banknotes." ”

"False... Counterfeit banknotes?"

Xiao Weiyuan was surprised, fortunately, the two of them and the young man were sitting on the left and right walls, and there were guests eating and talking in the middle, and the two would not be heard by the young man.

"How do you see that?" asked Xiao Weiyuan.

Jiang Yining didn't answer directly, but asked: "You said he wanted to evade the bill or something, when did you notice him? Do you know when he entered the noodle shop, and what kind of words and deeds did he have after entering?"

"This..."

Xiao Weiyuan was stunned and said deflatedly: "I really don't know this, I didn't notice him until I was halfway through the meal." ”

Jiang Yining said: "Then let me tell you, he and we came in front and back, stared at the price list on the wall for a long time, and ordered an order of no more and no less than a hundred yuan." ”

"You know that, you're talking nonsense?... Just the middle two rows, you said that the table came first, and the table came later?" Xiao Weiyuan said unconvinced.

Jiang Yining said: "Table 8 and Table 15 arrived before us, and when we entered the store, Table 15 had just been served. Tables 9, 11, 12, came after us, table 9 was the latest, but ate the fastest. ”

"You have a voyeuristic fetish, you can tell the difference so clearly when you eat every day!" Xiao Weiyuan looked shocked, looking at Jiang Yining as if he was looking at a monster.

"Once you get used to it, there is naturally no distinction between daily work and work. ”

Jiang Yining is accustomed to saying: "Those who engage in criminal investigation will not let go of every detail, so I said that you generalize from partiality, and you are still not convinced." ”

Xiao Weiyuan opened his mouth and was speechless.

"Eh, let me ask you again, how does this food taste and how does it taste?"

"It's good, it's not the peak of the meal now, otherwise you have to queue up for dinner..."

When Xiao Weiyuan said this, he patted his head and came to his senses: "Yes, people like me who like to eat think it's very good, so the probability that that person thinks the food is not delicious should be very small!"

"Do you still hold your own judgment now?"

Jiang Yining said: "I judged that he wanted to use counterfeit banknotes because I faintly saw a touch of red in the gap between his left fingers. Coupled with the small toys peeking out of the old leather bag at his feet, I think he must be a itinerant vendor.

In this way, he calculated the cost intentionally when he entered the store, and then combined the characteristics you just mentioned. So I judged that he had received counterfeit money for trading, and I was very angry and wanted to find a place to use the counterfeit money.

But he is a kind person, and he should have never done such a thing, so he is struggling and making a very difficult choice in his heart. ”

Xiao Weiyuan was stunned and said in disbelief: "What kind of eyes are you, you can see everything in his fingers, not a person!"

"Of course it's the naked eye, but the eyesight is 2.0, plus careful observation..."

Jiang Yining said, stretching out his hand towards Xiao Weiyuan: "Take out the money, I'll settle the account for him." A good person should not suffer, and once he uses that counterfeit banknote, it may be the beginning of the fall of his conscience. ”

Jiang Yining tore off a blank page from his notebook, unscrewed the pen and wrote down a line, took the hundred-yuan bill handed by Xiao Weiyuan, and walked towards the young man.

And the young man had just made a choice.

He resolutely got up, picked up the old leather bag at his feet, and slapped the crumpled bill in his hand on the table: "Waiter, put the money ...... Huh?"

The young man looked at Jiang Yining who passed by in a daze, as well as the disappearing banknotes on the table, and a brand-new hundred-yuan banknote, and his mind was blank.

"Okay, it's exactly 100 yuan, welcome to your next visit!"

The waiter who heard the shouting also walked to the table at this time, and she naturally took the banknote and looked up to see if it was real or fake.

The young man finally reacted, and he saw that there was still a piece of paper left on the table, and there were words written on the back.

He stretched out his slightly trembling hand and flipped through the page, which read:

[Perhaps evil thoughts occasionally triumph over conscience.] I take away your malice, please love your goodness. May you be treated gently by the world......]
