Chapter 21: Confrontation

When I came to the back kitchen of the restaurant, it was not yet time to eat, and the head chef of the restaurant, Master Long, was already sitting there for dinner.

Ning Hao walked over and greeted him, and one of the guys said, "Brother Long's meatloaf made today is fragrant, Xiao Ning, do you want to taste it." ”

Master Long turned his head and asked politely, "If you want to eat, I'll give you a share." ”

Ning Hao thanked him and said that he had already eaten it.

Master Long's real name is Long Shao, and he is thirty-five years old, but he has already cooked a good dish, and he has good knife skills. He is not only the head chef of the student restaurant, but also opened a restaurant in Xijiekou, hired a few guys to help, and the business is booming.

Since he is also an orphan and is a colleague who cares about Ning Hao the most on weekdays, he will occasionally take out some vegetables from the canteen and his own restaurant to help Ning Hao pack them for him to take back.

Even the aunt who had never seen Master Long praised this person. This saved my aunt some money and gave her the opportunity to save her private house.

Master Long asked Ning Hao: "I heard that you made a bet with that little bastard in Ma Yang that you would eat shit if you lost, is it true?" ”

Ning Hao squeezed out a smile, thinking that the news would spread faster than the fart in the elevator. He said, "I just want to clean up this stinky boy." ”

"But I know you don't know how to play basketball, the last time the canteen staff team built a basketball game and let you play, you didn't even touch the ball a few times after a basketball game."

The guy next to him interjected: "yes, as soon as your buddy gets the ball, he immediately throws it to other people, do you call playing basketball?" You're just here to make up the numbers. ”

There was a hint of sympathy in Master Long's eyes: "Hey, but don't worry, if you lose, I'll help you out." ”

Ning Hao knew that Master Long was known as "unprovoked" in school. I don't know where it came from, but it is rumored that as long as Master Long is provoked, he will mysteriously disappear or die unexpectedly after a week.

But Master Long didn't think so, he once told Ning Hao that he was born with the fate of the Fushou ghost, and this fate was fierce, and he killed his parents at the age of four. Later, he was ordered by a master to become a monk, and he returned to the vulgar at the age of twenty-two.

This kind of notoriety is even feared by the police, let alone the people in the school. Master Long opened his mouth to help Ning Hao relieve the siege, he must be true to his words, as long as he speaks, who would dare to make a big fuss about Ning Hao's gambling and eating.

Kindness is self-comprehension, Ning Hao said: "Thank you, I am not a timid person, since I have made a gambling contract, if I lose, I will not be a villain who regrets it." ”

Hearing Ning Hao say this, the guys shook their heads. He can only ask for more blessings for himself.

Master Long said again: "Recently, why did the foreman let you go like a dog?" Could it be that you, like me, are also a great murderer? How many times has he caused you to suffer, and you don't dare to make a mistake? ”

I really didn't know how to explain it to him, Ning Hao smiled: "Maybe, otherwise how could I become an orphan?" Even my sister was admitted to the hospital, and I felt that I was also a lone star. ”

Master Long agreed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ask for more blessings, I'm going to stir-fry." ”

When serving the plates, Ning Hao always felt that today was different from the past, and many people cast different eyes on him than usual.

This kind of gaze is different from the way people looked at him on the day he made a bet with Ma Yang. After a while, Lai Qing came to the restaurant, pulled him to a corner and said, "You kid can, you can get Yan Xiaoyu so quickly." ”

Ning Hao was puzzled, the matter of Ya's staying in Yan Xiaoyu's apartment last night was also spread?

Shrugged helplessly: "It's just gossip and can't be trusted." ”

"Gossip?" Lai Qing took out his mobile phone, opened it and handed it to him, "Look, the stickers on the campus forum have been pushed to the homepage, and the title is The Light of the Children of the Poor Family, making a name for the brothers to the school flower!" ”

Ning Hao took his mobile phone and stared at this post, and there was a picture of him and Yan Xiaoyu walking out of the student apartment side by side.

Which school paparazzi who suffered a thousand cuts took it.

After reading the poster, it was still a newly registered digital account, and he didn't even have a nickname.

But come to think of it, if Ma Yang sees this news, he will definitely be so angry that he vomits blood, and he is very happy.

Thinking of Ma Yang, Ning Hao still has some regrets, he always feels that he has something to do with Guo Xue's death, but now all the clues are difficult to prove that he is the murderer.

And with his guts that are strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and a brain like a pig, it is estimated that he will not be so leaky.

The only suspects now are Lai Qing in front of him and Wang Qiwen, who was called by the police to talk and confess.

After returning the phone to Lai Qing, he smiled awkwardly: "I don't know how to explain this." ”

"No need to explain, brother, I understand." Lai Qing handed the menu to Ning Hao and said, "Give me this." ”

Ning Hao took the menu and returned to the back kitchen.

At around seven o'clock, Lai Qing pulled Ning Hao on a motorcycle to the basketball court they had agreed in advance.

It's an abandoned basketball court, not as formal as the school, after all, it's just a concrete floor.

But it's enough to practice a few dribbles, passes, and shots. Lai Qing threw the ball to Ning Hao, and Ning Hao just tried the agility bonus that the system had rewarded before.

When I thought about it, the basketball that flew over instantly became a slow motion, like a slow motion in a commercial.

It turns out that this system is really so magical, after Ning Hao received the ball, the two officially entered the battle mode of you attack and I suffer.

Use this skill for a minute, and you can continue to use it after a 30-second cooldown, but at first I felt that this kind of switch was troublesome. But after practicing for a while, plus free play, I feel much better.

Moreover, this skill does not need to be used every time, as long as it is turned on when passing, even Kobe Bryant may not be able to keep up with his own pace.

"You kid is amazing, you can get my ball quickly, I misjudged you before."

This is still Ning Hao's somewhat restrained situation, if he plays all-round, it is estimated that he can enter the NBA.

"Who wouldn't break out at the thought of betting on eating?"

When playing, people are in a state of high concentration, focusing on the matter of playing, and there is no time to make up lies. Asking questions at this time, it is estimated that it is easier to get out Lai Qing's truth.

"How long have you been dating Guo Xue?"

Lai Qing did not avoid this sudden question, and said directly: "It's just a month, but I didn't expect that he was actually pregnant, and it was not my child." ”

"When did you find out she was pregnant?"

"Like you, that day."

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, the ball was taken away by Lai Qing, and he threw it into the ball.

Lai Qing stopped moving, stood there and said, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"I'll just tell you this, Guo Xue didn't die in an accident, she was poisoned to death. And the poison is hidden in that bottle of Jack Daniel's, this bottle of wine you brought out of Guo Xue's cocktail bar, but what is your motive for killing? ”
