Chapter 85: The Weekend
"Boss Mu."
"Mr. Qin, Miss Hui is here." Lao Mu greeted him warmly.
"Business as usual."
"Wait a minute, Boss Mu, I want to taste the Black Forest cake today, is there?" Gong Hui stopped Lao Mu and said.
Lao Mu was stunned for a moment: "Miss Hui likes it, naturally there is no problem." ”
"I'm tired."
……
"When he walked over just now, his heartbeat was noticeably faster." After Lao Mu left, Luo Yao lowered his voice and whispered to Gong Hui.
"He suspects you?"
"I have been tacit for a long time." Luo Yao nodded.
"And how dare he come to see us?" Gong Hui was surprised.
"Although he doubts our identity, he doesn't know what part of us is, and he is confident that he is hiding it well, as long as he can't find definite evidence, he can't help him." Luo Yaodao.
"Why?"
"His coffee house has been open in the French Concession for at least five years, and there are many people who come here to drink coffee, and many Westerners living in the French Concession like to come here, and he has good personal relations with many foreign consuls.
"Ah, this guy is so powerful?"
"It's not amazing, how can it be lurking under our eyes and noses for so many years?" Luo Yao had a strong premonition that once Lao Mu's true identity was exposed, it would shock the entire French Concession and even the entire Jiangcheng.
……
"Boss, Okawa is missing, are we ......"
"Don't panic, I didn't say it, don't talk about these things in the store, if there's something, talk about it in the evening." Lao Mu scolded the barista harshly, "Work with peace of mind." ”
"Yes."
……
Luo Yao smiled slightly, he could hear far and clearly, this is really a kind of addiction that can make people fall into addiction, and many things can be easily solved.
This feeling of winning is a bit of a victory.
Lao Mu was quite vigilant, although the barista mentioned "Dachuan", but did not mention the core things, so he had to wait.
However, he is clearly very cautious and calm.
Next, he may not be able to obtain any useful information.
But, that's enough.
The news of Dachuan's disappearance has already shocked Lao Mu, which confirms that the relationship between Lao Mu and Dachuan is by no means as simple as ordinary bosses and employees.
In addition to Okawa, there is also a Katayama Millet, who also walked out of the Twilight Coffee House, and he is a subordinate of 'Lin Miao'.
Both are related to the Twilight Cafe.
……
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Lao Mu personally brought coffee to Luo Yao and Gong Hui, "Miss Hui's Black Forest cake still needs to wait for a while, aren't you in a hurry?" ”
"Don't worry, today is the weekend, and I rarely have time to accompany her out." Luo Yao bowed slightly.
Lao Mu said politely: "Okay, then I'll go in and get busy, please call the waiter in the store if you have something." ”
"Okay."
"Today's coffee is a little urgent, probably the barista is not in a good mood." Luo Yao took a small sip, pouted a little dissatisfied, and said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I'm going to change a glass for you?" A waiter seemed to be paying attention to their table all the time, and when he heard this, he immediately walked over quickly and bowed.
"No, just this cup." Luo Yao waved his hand generously.
"Giving the best coffee to our guests is our twilight business philosophy, Mr. Qin, could you please give us a chance?" The waiter insisted.
"Well, I'm amazed at how well you guys." Luo Yao nodded, Lao Mu was able to run this coffee house so well, this person is really a talent.
This old Mu has a very good grasp of human nature.
"Thank you."
"Coffee problem?" Gong Hui asked in a low voice.
"No, I'm just looking for an excuse." Luo Yao smiled and said, I really thought that he could still taste the coffee and brew it, he didn't have that ability.
I got up and went to the bathroom.
When you get back, sit down.
After a while, the waiter brought Luo Yao another cup of coffee.
"Mr. Qin, your coffee, the temperature is just right, please use it slowly."
"Thank you."
Luo Yao smiled and thanked him, took a sip, and said with a hint of appreciation: "Well, this time the taste is right." ”
There are more and more guests in the coffee house, after all, it is a weekend, and there is more free time, especially many foreigners who work and live in the French Concession, who are accustomed to drinking afternoon tea, make an appointment with three or two friends, order a cup of coffee and dessert, and enjoy a leisurely and relaxing afternoon.
Gradually, the attendance rate reached more than 80%.
At this time, the patrolman in short sleeves pushed the door and walked in, holding a few things that looked like "notices" or something in his hand, and walked straight to the bar.
"Where's Boss Mu?"
"Our boss is in the back kitchen, I'll call him out." The waiter hurriedly explained.
"It turned out to be Inspector Wang." Lao Mu came out of the back kitchen, still wearing a white apron, and greeted him with a smile when he saw the patrol.
"Boss Mu, go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, take a look at this search revelation, if you see this person above, please send someone to the patrol hall to say, the reward is not much, and an errand fee is indispensable for the brothers." Inspector Wang directly took out a copy of the stack of prints in his hand and handed it to Lao Mu.
Lao Mu's hands were full of cream, and it was difficult to pick it up, so the barista on the side reached out and took it and put it on the bar.
Lao Mu glanced at it, and his face changed slightly: "Inspector Wang, this Hua District has lost someone, why did you come to the concession?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, we can only follow the orders from above, let's go, ha, I still have to go to the next house." Inspector Wang turned his head and said.
"That, give Inspector Wang and the brothers the two bottles of soda......" Inspector Wang had already pushed the door and walked out, leaving in a hurry, obviously this matter was really arranged by the top.
"Boss, this ......" The barista couldn't help it, but still let Lao Mu stare back.
"Put things away and keep them out of sight."
"Yes."
Lao Mu and the barista both recognized at a glance that the person named "Sun Jiachuan" on the "missing person notice" was Da Chuan, and tried their best to cover it up, not wanting outsiders to know.
This is obviously a ghost in the heart.
If Lao Mu recognized "Da Chuan" for the first time, he would really admire it, at least then, he was suspicious, but he didn't have a problem with him.
"This is your arrangement?" Gong Hui asked.
"Well, almost." Luo Yao nodded, "At least looking at Lao Mu's reaction now, his relationship with Dachuan is by no means the relationship between the boss and his buddy, if it is such a relationship, he can directly explain to the patrol, he doesn't have to hide it, and don't let the customers in the store see it." ”
"Then what do you think is the identity of this old Mu?" Gong Hui asked again.
"It's hard to say, in short, this person may be even more mysterious than the 'kappa' Lin Miao we are going to catch." Luo Yao thought for a moment and said slowly.
"The black hand behind the big fish?"
"It's kind of like that."
……
"I'm sorry, Miss Hui, I've kept you waiting, this is the Black Forest cake you ordered." Lao Mu personally sent the cut Black Forest cake over.
Gong Hui smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Mu, your desserts here are so delicious, I'm afraid we will have to come every weekend in the future." ”
"yes, that's very welcome." Lao Mu nodded and smiled, "This is also my honor." ”
"Can you deliver here?"
"Delivery, it doesn't seem like it's possible." Lao Mu shook his head.
"Lao Qin is usually busy with work, and he doesn't worry about me going out alone, so I'm at home alone, and whatever I want to eat, I have to wait for him to come back, if you can deliver it here, it would be good if you could help me send it to my home." Gong Hui said with some disappointment.
"Mr. Qin, the security in this French Concession is still very good, why don't you worry about Miss Hui going out alone?" Lao Mu asked curiously.
"Oh, she's a road idiot, she often can't find her way home when she goes out, you say, do I dare to worry that she goes out alone?" Luo Yao opened his mouth and came, "She just won't get lost if she turns bricks near her home, if she turns a few more corners, she won't be able to recognize the southeast and northwest, and I can't help it, I can't tie her to my side every day, right?" ”
"I see, it's the first time I've heard of it."
"Boss Mu, if it's inconvenient, forget it, anyway, I'll bring her here every weekend in the future, as long as your store is not closed." Luo Yao said.
"Of course, with customers like you and Miss Hui, I can't open this store anyway." Lao Mu showed a bright smile.
……
"The two of you, one is deceiving the dead and not paying for your life, and the other is hypocritical to the extreme!" After Lao Mu walked away, Gong Hui stared at Luo Yao angrily and said.
"It's not a topic you picked, and you said me, if I didn't react quickly, how would you pick it up?" Luo Yao said angrily.
"I've had an excuse for a long time, and that's going to be with you."
"Okay, hurry up and eat, Lao Liu made an appointment to meet at the bookstore tonight." Luo Yao lowered his voice and said.
"Got it."
……
After Gong Hui finished eating a Black Forest cake, Luo Yao pressed the money under the cup, and the two left from the twilight coffee house arm in arm.
Behind them, inside the bar.
"Boss, do you want to ......?"
Lao Mu glanced at the waiter who spoke: "Don't provoke these two people." ”
"Why, boss, they're clearly suspicious of us." The waiter asked unwillingly, "As long as you agree, I'll get rid of them tonight?" ”
"What if we can't kill us, we're all exposed, will you bear the consequences?" Lao Mu reprimanded sternly, "Our mission in Jiangcheng is not to kill people, understand? ”
"Understood, boss."
"Do things."
Mr. Qin, Miss Hui, who are you? Lao Mu's eyes were a little cold.
