Chapter Forty-Six: A Chance Encounter in a Restaurant
*
The license plate number starting with Su K is Yangzhou, Jiangsu.
Shang Xiaoyu was facing the computer, but his head was a mess. She scratched her hair ventingly, wailing vigorously in her heart, and thought that she could be edified in reasoning by staying with a criminal policeman all day, but now it seems that she thinks too much about herself.
What exactly does Sue K80206 mean?
Shang Xiaoyu racked his brains while holding his chin, and at the same time, his hand unconsciously scratched his mind on the half-drawn paper in front of him.
"Mr. Shang, you drew it wrong." A voice interrupted Shang Xiaoyu.
Shang Xiaoyu reacted at this time, she hurriedly stopped writing, but the half-drawn underwater world in her hand was no longer able to recover. She looked at Gou Yimo standing in front of her and holding back a smile, and knew that this little girl must have done something bad again.
"Gou Zai, what are you doing again?" Shang Xiaoyu stood up and examined her.
It didn't matter if he got up, the children in the room stared at Shang Xiaoyu and laughed. Shang Xiaoyu was confused, and looked down at himself, and there was nothing strange about him, but everyone was laughing.
Suddenly, the laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and a pair of small eyes stared at Shang Xiaoyu's back. Shang Xiaoyu turned around strangely and saw a handsome man in a police uniform stepping into the classroom with a smiling face.
"It's a good drawing, Gou Zai." Meng Xuan glanced at the painting in front of the podium and complimented.
Shang Xiaoyu listened and hurriedly got down from the podium, only then did he understand that Gou Yimo took advantage of the time when Shang Xiaoyu was sitting on the podium just now, and secretly drew the body of a kitten in front of the podium and stood there.
Shang Xiaoyu just wanted to reprimand Gou Yimo's naughtiness, but the school bell saved her, and she ran out of the house with a small schoolbag on her back. In less than a minute, the room that was still lively just now was suddenly left with only Shang Xiaoyu and Meng Xuan.
"Why are you here in a police uniform, how ostentatious." Although Shang Xiaoyu said so, the action in her hand was to take out her mobile phone and take a picture secretly, after all, this was the first time she saw Meng Xuan in a police uniform.
Meng Xuan naturally didn't debunk her small actions, and said, "I went to the city for a meeting in the afternoon, and I just passed by here after this, so I picked you up from work by the way." ”
Meng Xuan helped Shang Xiaoyu pack up her things, and when she saw the pages on the computer, she knew what she was doing, but she didn't say much. After all, this matter is related to a murder case, so he doesn't want Shang Xiaoyu to get involved, he will investigate this matter as soon as possible and let Shang Xiaoyu settle down.
"What do you want to eat at night?" Meng Xuan asked Shang Xiaoyu.
Shang Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised: "Don't you have to work overtime?" ”
"I haven't had any major events lately, so I'm pretty idle." In fact, because they have not found out Su Ke's whereabouts, and Tian Yi has not woken up, the progress of the work is difficult to move forward, and Li Yi's case has suddenly reached an impasse.
"Then I know a good Cantonese restaurant, let's try it." Shang Xiaoyu proposed.
"Yes, but I'll have to change my clothes first." Meng Xuan raised the bag in his hand, which contained a set of civilian clothes he had prepared.
"Okay, you can change here first, I'll wait for you in the car." Shang Xiaoyu left the scene as if fleeing, and Meng Xuan couldn't stop laughing as he looked at the back of the panic fleeing.
Twenty minutes later, Meng Xuan's car stopped in front of a Cantonese restaurant.
Although it is a meal, this restaurant looks a little deserted due to its remote location, but there is no need to worry about waiting for the food to be served.
The two of them picked a good position by the window and sat down, Shang Xiaoyu handed the menu to Meng Xuan, Meng Xuan glanced at the menu and reported a few signature dishes and a dish that met Shang Xiaoyu's taste.
Shang Xiaoyu looked at Meng Xuan with satisfaction, his face full of praise for him.
A rich aroma of tea wafted through the air, and the aroma came to my nose.
Shang Xiaoyu was smiling, and a figure walking by broke into Shang Xiaoyu's sight, she stared in the direction that the person left for a long time, and suddenly got up and shouted, "Master." ”
The middle-aged woman who had just passed by turned around when she heard the voice, and when she saw that it was Shang Xiaoyu, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted her by the hand and took her hand.
Meng Xuan frowned slightly and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, the aroma of tea seemed to be lingering here.
"Master, are you alone?" Shang Xiaoyu asked.
"Lao Xi has a lecture today, I'm not greedy, so I'll secretly come over to relieve my hunger, otherwise your teacher will know that I came so far to eat, and he will laugh at me again." Mrs. Xi explained.
Shang Xiaoyu suddenly reacted, and hurriedly pointed to Meng Xuan and introduced: "Master, this is my boyfriend, Meng Xuan." ”
He introduced to Meng Xuan again: "This is Professor Xi's wife." ”
Mrs. Xi looked at Meng Xuan with a smile on her face, and Meng Xuan greeted her politely.
Suddenly, Mrs. Xi exclaimed and said, "I left something in the private room, I'll go back and get it first." ”
Mrs. Xi hurriedly returned to the innermost private room corridor, Meng Xuan looked at the back and whispered, "Do you want a private room to eat alone?" ”
Shang Xiaoyu said: "Mrs. Xi likes to be quiet and low-key, and she doesn't like crowded occasions very much, and she was silently in the room when we went to Professor Xi's house for dinner before. ”
Soon, Mrs. Xi came out of the private room, with one more thing in her hand, and she smiled: "It's rare to get a gift, but you can't forget to take it." Xiao Yu, then you eat first, I have to go back quickly, otherwise our old seat will go back. ”
"Okay, Master, be careful on the road." Shang Xiaoyu and Meng Xuan sent Mrs. Xi away in a car before sitting down again.
Shang Xiaoyu also opened the conversation box and talked about interesting stories about her school days and Professor Xi, she said: "Actually, this store was told to us by Professor Xi, otherwise I wouldn't have found out that this place is so remote." He said that his wife likes to eat Cantonese food very much, so he took his wife to eat all the Cantonese restaurants in Ling'an City and found that it is still the best food here, and the most important thing is that everyone who consumes here will have a small gift, which is the pen with the logo of their store in Mrs. Xi's hand just now. ”
This is quite interesting, however, Meng Xuan said: "Their store is not doing well and they give gifts, and they are not afraid of losing money." ”
Shang Xiaoyu said: "It's a very ordinary fountain pen, used for commemoration, it seems that it will run out of water after a few uses." ”
Meng Xuan nodded approvingly and said, "Marketing means." ”
"When we were in school, we were very envious of Professor Xi and his wife." Shang Xiaoyu's eyes were full of envy.
"Okay, Grandma, I'll take you to all the restaurants too, okay?" Meng Xuan said helplessly, "Eat quickly." ”
After a meal, the meal was really delicious, and the waiter also gave Shang Xiaoyu and Meng Xuan a commemorative fountain pen at the checkout, the appearance is nothing special, but after pulling out the cap, you can see the position of the pen body and the pen head, and the name of the store is cleverly engraved with the pattern - Eastgate Xuan.
Meng Xuan put away the pen and got into the car, but Shang Xiaoyu fell asleep after being full of wine and food, and Meng Xuan silently complained in her heart about her attribute of sleeping after eating. He looked in the rearview mirror and was about to reverse and leave, but he saw a familiar figure flashing in the mirror, and he turned back sharply but didn't see a figure.
That person was very similar to Xue Fang. Are you also sleepy?
Meng Xuan sighed, it seemed that his nerves had been a little oversensitive recently. Hopefully not what he thinks.

The hard work paid off, and three days later, Lao Hu and Cheng Hantai finally discovered some clues about Su Ke.
Meng Xuan looked at the consumption record and eyewitness confession in his hand, and asked, "That is to say, on the day Li Yi died, this Su Ke also went to the Tian Building. ”
Cheng Hantai wrapped a notebook, tapped his fingers a few times, and then turned to face Meng Xuan: "The power went out on the day of the accident in the Tian building, and the monitoring was all out of order, so nothing was filmed." However, a security guard on duty that day when I visited yesterday said that a strange girl had entered the building that day, because she claimed to be the sister of Secretary Tian Yi, so he didn't think much about it, and it was only yesterday that Secretary Qin accidentally talked to her and found out that she didn't have a sister, so he told us. ”
"Why didn't you say it before?" Such a simple trivial matter has dragged on until now, how could the case have been stalled for so long if this security guard had been found earlier.
Cheng Hantai also knew what Meng Xuan meant, and explained: "I asked before, but the security guard thought it was Secretary Qin's sister, and he didn't tell us if he wasn't a suspicious person." ”
"And then?" Meng Xuan then asked.
"According to the security guard's description, we looked at surveillance footage from several nearby neighborhoods and figured out what she was doing that day," Sung said. ”
Meng Xuan flipped back the document in his hand, and on it was the organized route of Su Ke's activities. In fact, there are very few pictures of Su Ke being captured by the surveillance, and even around the Tian building, where Su Ke appeared on the night close to the time of the crime, she was not photographed, which shows how cautious this Su Ke is.
The time and place span of several appearances is very large, and it is difficult to determine her residence from such a large range of activities, but the place where Su Ke appeared in this report is very suspicious, and I think this is also the point that Cheng Hantai wants to tell Meng Xuan.
Rhyme of light.
Mon Xuan's apartment complex.
Why did this Su Ke appear there, did Li Yi ask her to follow Meng Xuan in private? Could it be because Li Yi knew about Meng Xuan's personal relationship with Tian Yi, and was afraid that he, the policeman, would ruin his plan, so he asked Su Ke to go to the community in advance to keep an eye on Meng Xuan's every move?
"Moe!" Lao Hu suddenly exclaimed, Meng Xuan saw Lao Hu with a surprised look on his face and pointed to the phone in his hand and said, "Tian Yi is awake." ”
This is undoubtedly great news.
It seems that the case is gradually coming to light, and it will soon be known which side the balance of truth will favor and who will fall into the abyss.
Meng Xuan and Cheng Hantai packed up their things, and Lao Hu drove the car over and the three of them went to the hospital together.
