Chapter 15: One Less Man

Beijing's fried gnocchi and Xi'an's mash are actually twins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the early years of the Republic of China, the mother and daughter of the Mu family opened a restaurant and named it "Guangfu Pavilion". "Due to the small profits, the meals are normal, and the business is very sluggish. One day, only ten catties of baked noodles were sold, and there were five or six catties left when the door was closed, the old lady was in a hurry, she put the flat board, took the remaining baked noodles and kneaded them again, and then kneaded them into small lumps that were slightly larger than the pimple dice, and cooked them in a pot of boiling water, and then spread them in a cool place after taking them out. That night, the mother and daughter used these cooked gnocchi and added some vegetables to stir-fry and eat, but they didn't expect it to be delicious, so they invented fried gnocchi. Shaanxi's Mashi is also doing the same, much the same.

The girl of the Mu family back then is now a middle-aged woman, and when she heard Yuwei ask about Mr. Su, she nodded and said, "The old man came here to eat in the morning." ”

"Is anyone else with him?"

Luo Yin asked.

"Oops, I really didn't pay attention to this, I was busy in the back kitchen, because it was an old customer, I said hello, and I glanced at it, and I didn't notice who else came in with him."

Miss Mu was a little apologetic.

"There was a person behind him in a trance, and at first I thought the two of them didn't know each other, but then I found that the two of them were sitting opposite each other and talking."

A guy thought a little.

"What kind of people?"

"This guy is wearing a top hat, and he can't see his appearance clearly in the winter, so tall as this gentleman."

The guy pointed at Yu Wei.

Yu Wei is a thin figure, Su San thought about it, several people in the newspaper are like this.

At this time, the fried gnocchi was served. Miss Mu said, "Please try my handiwork." ”

Su San looked down at the fried gnocchi on the plate, the white one was the gnocchi, the tender green rape was really rare in Beiping in this winter, the slender mung bean sprouts, poured a little chili oil on it, she casually added a little vinegar to her plate, and then took a deep breath: "It's very fragrant." ”

Luo Yin was about to laugh at her gluttony, but saw Su San's face change, pointed to the fried gnocchi and said, "This smell is somewhat familiar, I seem to have smelled it in the morning." ”

Before Yu Wei could understand what was going on, Luo Yin had already asked, "Who is it?" ”

"That's when everyone was standing there waiting for the police to question them. I thought, this is the morning out for breakfast, and I accidentally stuck to the smell. It's just that I was busy listening to the facts of the case at that time, and I didn't pay attention to who it was. Su San was a little remorseful when he said this, why didn't he care.

"Miss Su has a very smart nose?"

Yu Wei was a little skeptical.

Luo Yin stood up: "Let's go, don't eat, hurry back." ”

The three of them hurried back to the club.

Zhang Yamin was writing something at the desk, and he heard someone come in and look up.

Su San was a little disappointed when he entered the house, because the room was now filled with the smell of disinfectant water.

When someone died in the attic on the third floor, Ms. Yuan was disgusted with the bad luck and asked the cleaners to clean it properly, using a lot of disinfectant to smoke everyone else in the newspaper.

Yu Wei asked, "Mr. Zhang, you are not afraid of panic." ”

Zhang Yamin smiled: "I have rhinitis, and at this time, my nose looks like it's useless, and it can't smell anything no matter what." ”

The house smelled of disinfectant water, and the people had smoked away, and there was nowhere to find the smoke and smoke of the fried gnocchi.

Su San was a little depressed, looked at Luo Yin, and said with a face full of regret: "Now it's all the smell of disinfectant water, and I can't smell anything else." ”

Luo Yin patted her on the shoulder, signaling her not to be depressed, and Yu Wei asked, "Where did Cao Renjie go?" ”

"Brother Cao just had an interview assignment, oh, there's a press conference at the city hall."

At that moment, the telephone in the hall rang suddenly.

Zhang Yamin sat there motionless, as if he didn't hear.

Yuwei asked, "Why don't you answer the phone?" ”

Zhang Yamin said with a smile: "You don't know, you guys won't be there, our phone has rang several times, and Editor-in-Chief Yuan is like that, every time he explodes and shouts don't move, my phone, I'm so scared that I dare to answer the phone." How strange it is that now I believe that women have menopause. ”

After Zhang Yamin finished speaking, he remembered that Su San was also a woman, and smiled apologetically at Su San: "Miss Su, I just said this casually." ”

The phone continued to ring, and Editor-in-Chief Yuan did not open the door and shout again.

Su San looked at Zhang Yamin, who shrugged at her.

Su San was closest to the phone, so he could only grab it, and heard a resentful female voice coming from the receiver: "It's so wrong, it's so wrong, it's so wronged that we died." ”

Su San was caught off guard, threw away the microphone with a bang, and looked at Luo Yin in a daze.

Luo Yin noticed that something was wrong, rushed over in three steps and two steps, picked up the phone, and hung up with a stuck.

"What's wrong?"

"It's that phone call again, we died so unjustly."

Su San repeated, cold all over.

Yu Wei frowned: "I dare to pretend to be a ghost in broad daylight." ”

Zhang Yamin also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What does this mean?" What kind of pretending to be a ghost phone? ”

Yu Wei felt that he couldn't explain it clearly at this time, and Luo Yin asked: "Who else is there in the newspaper now?" ”

Zhang Yamin pointed upstairs: "There is only Chief Yuan alone, and everyone has gone out." ”

Luo Yin strode upstairs, Zhang Yamin realized what he was going to do, and hurriedly whispered: "Hey, don't go, Editor-in-Chief Yuan is a little wrong today, don't mess with her." ”

Luo Yin walked to Yuan Lijie's office, knocked on the door and said, "Is Ms. Yuan here?" ”

There was no sound inside.

Luo Yin tried to push the door and found that the door was locked, so he shouted loudly again: "Ms. Yuan?" Open the door, I'm a police officer. ”

At this time, the three people downstairs had already followed, and Yu Wei asked, "What do you think ......?"

Before the words fell, Luo Yin had already taken a step back and kicked the door hard.

Zhang Yamin sighed and blindfolded: "She may be asleep, you will anger her like this, it doesn't matter to you, I want to eat and hang." ”

With a few clicks, the door was kicked open.

I saw Ms. Yuan sitting at her desk, her head hanging down, and when the door opened, only her hair was seen from Su San's angle, and as the door opened, the wind outside came in and swayed.

Su San looked at Luo Yin hesitantly, and Yu Wei shouted: "Editor-in-chief." ”

Luo Yin stepped forward and pushed Yuan Lijie's body, she leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair, revealing a pale face, her lips were also blue and white, and her eyes were glaring at the boss, obviously, she was dead.

Zhang Yamin screamed, pointed at Yuan Lijie and asked, "She...... She...... She, how died. ”

"Isn't it just you and her in this newspaper?"

Luo Yin looked at him with a frown.

Zhang Yamin understood: "What do you mean?" Doubt me? ”

Su San tried to calm himself down, and stepped forward to carefully observe Yuan Lijie's surroundings.

There was still a messy manuscript on her desk, Su San took a look at it, there were three copies, and on the top was a report about the orphanage, with chic handwriting, Su San pointed to the manuscript and asked, "Mr. Zhang, whose manuscript is the orphanage?" ”

Zhang Yamin scratched his head and said, "It seems to be Brother Cao's, he is following up on a project in an orphanage." ”

That is, when Yuan Lijie died, I would look at Cao Renjie's manuscript.

Luo Yin stepped forward and flipped through the manuscripts and couldn't see anything unusual, so he put them back as they were. Su San took a deep breath, there was only the smell of fresh ink on these manuscript papers, and there was no other smell. Look carefully, there are shallow traces on the letter, Su San smelled a little saliva, and said in her heart Ms. Yuan looked at a very elegant person, the habit of reading the manuscript is not good, is it dipped in saliva?

"How did she die?"

Su San sighed, this Ms. Yuan, she was still a strong person in the morning, and she didn't expect to die so soon.

Luo Yin raised Yuan Lijie's arm, looked at her eyes again and said, "It's been dead for no more than an hour, what a fresh corpse." Zhang Yamin and Yu Wei looked at each other when they heard this, and their stomachs were a little uncomfortable.

Just after Luo Yin put down Yuan Lijie's arm, her hand snapped on herself, and then with a small cracking sound, a small white pearl fell out of her hand.

Su San squatted down and picked it up: "It's another little pearl." (To be continued.) )
