Chapter 21: Walking Through
Yingbin Restaurant is located in a prosperous area in the south of Jiangyin City, although the scale of the whole restaurant is not large, but it is widely accepted by the public because of its affordable price and delicious dishes. As soon as he came here, Song Shi was already hungry for the delicious food in front of him.
Looking at his gluttonous appearance, Shen Huan couldn't help but say, "I said, we are here to investigate the case, not to eat!" Can you restrain a bit? ”
"I've been restrained! I'm just looking! ”
"See? Then you hurry up and put down the chicken legs on someone's plate! People still have to serve food! Shen Huan pointed to a chicken leg that Song Shi touched from the tray in the little second brother's hand and said helplessly.
Looking at Song Shi's reluctant expression after seeing the chicken leg being served on someone else's table, Xing Zhutou couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, Mr. Shen, don't be so him, you can't bear this hunger." That's it, it's noon anyway, I'll do the east, let's fight here! Thank you, sir, for your kindness! ”
As soon as he heard this, Song Shi's depression just now was swept away! casually found an empty table and sat down, as if he was afraid that Xing Zhutou would regret it.
casually ordered a few dishes, looking at Song Shi who was eating happily, Shen Huan couldn't help but admire a little in his heart. When he was in his first anatomy class, he couldn't eat for almost the whole day, especially meat, and he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. But this guy still vomited in the morning, and after two hours, he was like a nobody! I don't know if this guy is born with strong psychological qualities, or should he say that he has no heart and lungs......
The last plate of vegetables was brought to the table, and Shen Huan stopped the little second brother who was just about to leave, "Little second brother, I heard that you have a chef named Liang Ke here, right?" ”
"Yes! Childe, do you know him? ”
"I don't know, but I heard from others that his food is good, so I'll inquire."
Hearing Shen Huan's words, the little second brother couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Son, where did you inquire about?" Liang is our cook, yes, but he doesn't care about cooking, he's our pastry chef! His pastry is a must! Look at the pumpkin pie on the table next to you, he made it! Why don't you try a plate too? ”
"Okay! Then hurry up! I don't have enough to eat! Looking at Song Shi's appearance in the windswept clouds, Shen Huan and Xing Zhutou looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say......
The pumpkin pie was quickly brought to the table, picked up a piece and bit it gently, and the words of the little second brother were immediately confirmed, this pumpkin pie is indeed delicious! The cake is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant, sweet but not greasy! And the ratio between pumpkin and glutinous rice is also very well handled! Soft and smooth without making people feel sticky! A rare dish indeed!
"How's the three? We've got a good pastry here, right? Shen Huan's expressions were in the eyes of the little second brother, and he asked them with a smile.
Shen Huan nodded and said, "It's really good!" Little second brother, can we want to meet this Chef Liang Ke? ”
"This ......"
Seeing that the little second brother was a little hesitant, Xing Zhutou also asked with some dissatisfaction: "What's the matter, little second brother?" Can't we just want to see this Liang Ke? ”
Seeing that Xing Zhutou was a little unhappy, the little second brother was also a little panicked, "How dare you!" In the entire Jiangyin City, how can there be people you Xing Zhutou can't see, the little one just thought that this son was here to dig people! So...... Hi! Telling you all this, it's all a misunderstanding! The little ones are called for you! ”
Just after Song Shi almost swept all the dishes in front of him, the little second brother also came to them with Liang Ke. Liang Keqi is not tall, and his body is relatively thin, although he is not too good-looking, but the clothes on his body are different from the sloppy of the little second brother, giving people a very clean feeling.
After seeing Xing Zhutou, Liang Ke seemed to know Shen Huan's intentions, "Xing Zhutou, you should be here for Pingmei's business, right?" ”
"Yes, I think you should have heard that the murderer reappeared back then, so I came to you this time just to talk to you again." Xing Zhutou nodded and said.
"What is there to talk about? Sister Ping, she has been gone for more than ten years......" or touched the weakness in his heart, and at this time, there was a trace of moisture in the corners of Liang Kede's eyes......
Looking at the sadness on Liang Ke's face, Shen Huan sighed and said, "Master Liang, I know that you don't want to mention the sad things of the past, but in order to find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge Wang Ping, please tell us everything you know!"
"Well, what do you want to know, just ask......"
"I've heard that you once had a marriage contract with Wang Ping, right?" Shen Huan asked.
"That's right, it was a long time ago, I grew up with Pingmei since childhood, and my uncle saw that we had no guesses, so he discussed with my father to marry Pingmei to me."
"Then why did you cancel the engagement?"
"Alas...... It's a long story at this time, although I and Pingmei have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, but Pingmei has always only been my brother, since I grew up, Pingmei began to deliberately keep estranged from me, and wanted to dissolve the marriage contract between the two of us. I didn't know what was going on at the time, and I questioned her, but I didn't expect that she would avoid me until I waited at her house for her to come back, and she told me the truth. Liang Ke laughed to himself when he said this.
"She canceled your engagement with you, you must have hated her in your heart at the time, right?"
"Yes, but if you want to love someone, you have to learn to let go, since she doesn't have me in her heart, why should I hold on to her? As long as she can live well, I will be satisfied......"
Liang Ke's words were indeed very moving, but judging from Shen Huan's expression and what he did, Liang Ke had not forgotten Wang Ping. If he really let go, his expression would not be so painful when he said this just now, and he would not have taken care of Wang Ping's father for so many years......
"Then when was the last time you and Wang Ping met?" Shen Huan asked again.
"It was on the night of her accident that I went to Pingmei's house that day and confessed to her that I would not pester her anymore, and the relationship between the two of us was restored. There was a market in the city that night, so the two of us went out together, and we played late that day, and I wanted to send her home, but she refused, so I dropped her off at the entrance of the alley and left. It's not far from the alley to Pingmei's house, I thought there would be nothing, but I didn't expect it...... It's all my fault! If I insist on sending her home, she won't be harmed! ”
Looking at Liang Ke, who was caught in deep self-blame, Shen Huan sighed and comforted: "Master Liang, you don't have to blame yourself too much, there is a way that the world is impermanent, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen, the dead are gone, please mourn and change your ways."
After Liang Ke calmed down a little, Shen Huan asked again: "Master Liang, you should know Wang Ping very well, do you know what enemies she has?" Or have you offended someone? ”
Liang Ke wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said: "No, Sister Ping is very gentle and shy, she blushes even when she says a word to strangers, and she has never offended anyone, let alone an enemy."
After asking these questions, Shen Huan couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, he had seen Liang Ke's words in the old files of the county government, and he had nothing else to gain...... Now he has no choice but to find another way......
Saying goodbye to Liang Ke, looking at Song Shi who was still picking up leftover leaves on the plate, Shen Huan couldn't help but kick him, "Eat it again!" If you eat the plate again, you will lick it clean! Is it good to have a bit of an image when you're out and about? How will you find a daughter-in-law in the future? The girl has to be scared away by you! ”
Shen Huan's words Song Shi didn't care at all, "Hehe! If you can't find it, you won't look for it! Besides, my daughter-in-law might be able to eat better than me! ”
Song Shi's words thundered Shen Huan and Xing Zhutou, and the two simply pretended not to know this person and quickly paid the bill and left, and if they stayed with this goods, their faces were about to be lost......
Following Shen Huan to the alley of Wang Ping's house again, Song Shi couldn't help but burp and asked Shen Huan, "What are we doing here again?"
"Look for clues."
"Huh?" This time, not only Song Shi, but even Xing Zhutou himself was a little stunned! After more than ten years, isn't it a fantasy to find clues from here now?
Looking at the questions on the faces of the two, Shen Huan smiled faintly and said: "That's right, this sounds a little incredible, but the clues to the murder are not only the traces left by the murderer, but also many details that can also become clues for us to trace!" I remember that Wang Ping's body was found in Lotus Lane, right? Lotus Lane is east of Qingfeng Bridge in the middle of the city, and Kidnapper Lane where we are located is in the south of the city, and the two are three or four miles apart, and I want to find out what happened that night...... In this way, Xing Zhutou, you will play the murderer, and Shi will play Wang Ping, let's first figure out what happened after Liang Ke and Wang Ping separated that day! ”
Let Song Shi and Xing Zhutou stand in the corresponding position, Shen Huan continued: "Wang Ping was separated from Liang Ke here that night, Wang Ping's home is only less than half a mile away from this alley, if the murderer wants to attack, then he must attack in this short distance!" So I think the murderer should have quietly followed Wang Ping after she broke up with Liang Ke, kidnapped Wang Ping from behind her, and took her out of the alley. ”
According to Shen Huan's instructions, Xing Zhutou followed Wang Ping all the way, suddenly covered Song Shi's mouth, and dragged him all the way to the alley, but when they were about to arrive at the alley, Song Shi suddenly broke free of Xing Zhutou's hand and said to Shen Huan: "This is not right! This alley is Zhengyang Street, there are so many people on this street, if the murderer had done this, he would have been discovered a long time ago! Besides, there were a lot of people when I went to the market that day! Didn't Xing Zhutou also follow his master to patrol the streets at that time, didn't he go out like this to find death? ”
Listening to Song Shi's words, Shen Huan smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, I know that I can use my brain, this situation is really impossible, then I'll test you, if you are the murderer, how will you bring the victim to Lotus Lane?"
"This ......"
Song Shi lowered his head and thought about it, he had imagined that the murderer would ambush Wang Ping here and knock him unconscious, or forcibly tie him up and take him away, but he found that no matter which method it was, it would eventually be discovered by the crowd at the mouth of the alley! And this alley is different from the alley behind the satin village, which only walks on the swill wheel, and there are many people living in it! If you make any noise, you will definitely be discovered, even if you use an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart to pull it, you may be hit by someone before you can hide someone in the cart that night!
Song Shi thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with it, so he had no choice but to give up, "I don't know...... Tell me, how the hell did the murderer do it? ”
Seeing that he was so curious, Shen Huan stopped selling Guan Zi and said with a smile: "Since it is impossible for all kinds of methods not to be discovered, then there is only one explanation!" That's Wang Ping, she walked to Lotus Lane by herself! ”
"Walking over by yourself?" Song Shi couldn't believe his ears after hearing this......
