Chapter 4: Little Cutie
A piercing scream woke up the mimosa who had just fallen asleep.
Mimosa sat up with her arms propped up, and looked at Qin Ran, who was sitting in a chair and putting down a book.
"Follow me."
Qin Ran said.
After discovering the anomaly of the deceased in this copy world, the cautious Qin Ran tried his best to keep the mimosa in his field of vision to ensure the safety of the mimosa.
After all, Qin Ran couldn't be sure if the dead with wisdom here also had some inherent characteristics in the past.
For example: fear of sunlight.
Mimosa, who put on her coat, followed Qin Ran downstairs.
When Qin Ran opened the door of the restaurant, he could already see a group of people gathered under the street lamp not far away.
The street lamps went out as the sun rose, and a burly man was strangled by his neck and hung there, his face purple, his tongue sticking out, swaying slightly with the morning breeze.
"John. Diethan!"
Mimosa immediately let out a low exclamation when she saw the face of the hanged man.
There are accidents, and more often than not, shocks.
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
He stood on the side of the lamp, scrutinizing the corpse.
Dressed completely.
There were no external injuries.
The handcuffs were also worn on one of the hands.
Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of the first customer last night.
"It's not just about thanks."
"Will ......"
"Revenge?"
Qin Ran thought silently in his heart.
If it's not someone who is playing tricks, then ...... There's a fair chance he's going to get into trouble.
Shrill sirens sounded from far to near.
The crowd immediately dispersed.
The small, curly-haired sergeant with a gloomy face walked directly below the corpse.
After watching for four or five minutes, the sheriff instructed the officers to put the body down.
The forensic doctor on the side immediately came over and began to examine it carefully.
"The body is intact, there are no external injuries, and it is preliminarily concluded that he died of mechanical asphyxiation......"
"I know that!"
"What I want to know is, what I don't know!"
"For example, whether there are fingerprints on the street lamp, or traces of running on ladders."
Teddy, whose eyes were bloodshot, interrupted the medical examiner's words and said in a low voice.
"Leave it to me, sheriff!"
The forensic doctor, who heard some rumors, nodded slightly, lowered his head and continued to get busy.
Looking at the busy medical examiner, Sheriff Teddy took a deep breath and wanted to vomit, but he was stuck in his chest and couldn't vomit.
Sullen!
Uncomfortable!
In his 10 years as a police officer, Teddy has encountered many criminals who are either vicious, cunning, or both. Decision is the kind of person you have both.
However, regardless of John. How can Decision quibble, in front of ironclad evidence, only the electric chair awaits this bastard.
Therefore, in the face of death does not admit John. Desson, Teddy wasn't angry, he just made it clear what would happen to this bastard.
Then, a flash of fear flashed through the serial killer's eyes.
That's what Sheriff Teddy wants to see.
But just as the sheriff was about to take advantage of the victory, the power went out in the interrogation room.
Not only the interrogation room, but the entire floor was plunged into darkness.
As soon as he could, Sheriff Teddy pulled out his gun and pointed it at John. Decisions.
No one wants to die.
Especially this kind of murderer, it is even more desperate for his life.
So, Sheriff Teddy knows what to do with the other party.
But the next scene was something that Sheriff Teddy couldn't have predicted.
John. Dyson is missing!
When the lights in the interrogation room came on again, John . . . Dyson is missing!
In just three seconds, John was handcuffed to a chair. Diesson, handcuffed and disappeared without a trace.
At that time, the whole police station was boiling.
All started a search, but found nothing.
But no one believed that a handcuffed, restrained suspect could escape from the police station, especially since there was a sergeant sitting opposite the suspect, two reporters in the secret observation room next door, and two armed police officers outside the interrogation room.
But the people are gone.
All those involved in the interrogation were scolded by the director.
As a sheriff, Teddy is naturally taken care of.
And just three days after Teddy made it must have been John. Less than two hours after Deson was caught back assured that John. Decision found it.
But it became a corpse.
Just like that, he was hung from a street lamp.
What a damn one!
Sheriff Teddy, who scolded in his heart, walked out of the crowd.
The scene was extremely badly damaged, but some things are still there.
His gaze swept over the crowd.
Then, he saw Qin Ran and Mimosa standing there.
"Luo Yan, Luo Ye Brothers......"
Looking at the pair of second-generation immigrant brothers, Teddy groaned for a moment, and then walked over.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Sheriff Teddy asked half-truthfully.
"Open from 11 p.m. to 5 p.m."
Qin Ran said lightly.
"That's a shame."
"What do you think?"
Sheriff Teddy gestured to the hanging body.
"You deserve it."
Qin Ran said very objectively.
"I agree with you, but before a murder, you would be very disadvantageous to say so...... Are you accustomed to corpses? ”
Sheriff Teddy said with a smile, his tone unconsciously elongated, and then abruptly changed the subject.
It was an interrogation technique that Qin Ran was very familiar with.
Naturally, it's easy to deal with.
"There's a lot of corpse in the back kitchen, do you need to take a look?"
Qin Ran pointed to the restaurant behind him.
"Trust me, if you say that, no one will come to your restaurant."
Sheriff Teddy had a disgusting look on his face.
"Therefore, when it comes to food, you must be grateful."
Qin Ran said solemnly.
"Okay, thank you for your pointers during my meal, and if anything, remember to tell me, I left you a business card before."
Sheriff Teddy is ready to end this conversation.
"Hmm."
"I caught this guy before the bounty, and my stolen wallet......"
"I'll bring it to you after the process."
Sheriff Teddy, who was about to end this conversation, turned around and left after hearing Qin Ran's words.
Stolen wallet with John. Naturally, Dieson's death is gone.
As for the bounty?
According to the process, it will be issued truthfully.
But, because John. Dyson's unexpected death, again, will be delayed by many times according to the process.
And that time is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Looking at Sheriff Teddy's back, Qin Ran didn't look back, and walked towards the large supermarket on the other side of the street with a mimosa.
He needs to prepare something.
Night, as promised.
The blackboard was placed outside the door at eleven o'clock at night.
Leaf Restaurant.
Today's offerings: roast rabbit, fried rice, chicken soup.
(No alcohol is served, intoxicated guests are not welcome)
……
Although it is chalk writing, it is still beautifully written, which is written in mimosa.
The text in parentheses is also added by mimosa.
He also doesn't like drunk people.
Especially those women who are drunk and entangled with Qin Ran should be swept out of the house.
However, contrary to Mimosa's expectations, the drunk woman from yesterday reappeared.
Almost as soon as the blackboard was hung out, the woman walked in.
Didn't drink alcohol.
She looks exquisite, she is well-dressed, she is carrying a lady's satchel and a light perfume on her body, and as soon as you walk in, you can smell the mimosa.
But, Mimosa didn't say anything.
He manages the back kitchen.
The front was dealt with by Qin Ran.
This is what the two have agreed on a long time ago.
Mimosa believes that Qin Ran will handle it properly.
In fact, yes too-
"You profiteer!"
As soon as she entered the door, Amy said through gritted teeth.
"Roast rabbit 1000, fried rice 150, chicken soup 100, the price is clearly marked, and Tong Su is not bullied."
Qin Ran said lightly.
"You said yesterday that the chicken soup is 10 pieces."
Amy emphasized.
"You proposed 100, and I think you're right, so if you come to me, the price of all my food will increase tenfold, in order to compliment your beauty."
Qin Ran said things that made Amy regretful, embarrassed, and embarrassed after she woke up.
Anyone who wakes up will regret what they did while drinking.
Amy is no exception.
Even, Amy paid a terrible price.
Spent ten times the price and drank a bowl of chicken soup that forgot the taste.
So, here she is again.
She wants the remaining 90 dollars back.
Her hard-earned money can't just be wasted.
"Do you know you're cheating!"
"If you do this, I can sue you!"
Amy tried her best to make her momentum more ferocious, hoping to scare Qin Ran.
Qin Ran didn't say a word, and pointed to the monitoring in the corner of the restaurant.
The money that goes into his pocket is his.
Want to get it out of his pocket again?
Don't!
"It's a little old, but it's well maintained and clearly recorded, and I think the judge and jury will be interested in what you say and do."
Qin Ran said in a calm tone.
In fact, that monitoring has long been broken, Qin Ran will not repair it, and he has no intention of repairing it.
"You!"
Unaware, Amy stomped her foot, snorted and turned to leave.
In the kitchen, Mimosa smiled.
brought out the roast rabbit specially prepared for Qin Ran.
"I added some lemonade."
Mimosa said, holding the plate.
Qin Ran took the plate with a smile, and at this moment, Amy, who had just left, ran back again.
She looked at the rabbit on Qin Ran's plate, was stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously said: "Rabbit is so cute, how can you eat rabbit...... It's even better with chili peppers! ”
The fragrance that penetrated into her nose made Amy can't help but secrete saliva.
The sweet and sour smell of barbecue made Amy forget for a moment the unwillingness to return.
She stared at the plate of roast rabbit in a daze and swallowed her saliva, but neither Qin Ran nor Mimosa had any intention of paying attention to the other party.
"Do you have any business like this?"
"You do business, and sooner or later it will ...... here"
Before Amy could finish the word 'out of business', the street lamp in the doorway flashed again.
The first guest from last night walked in.
"A bowl of chicken broth."
A dry, hoarse voice rang out.
Qin Ran handed the chicken soup to the other party.
The other party took a sip of chicken soup.
Qin Ran gulped down the roast rabbit meat.
Mimosa looked at Qin Ran with a smile on her face.
Amy stood there, always feeling like an outsider, and she was completely ignored.
Amy, who was accustomed to being the center of everyone's attention, became more and more angry.
She glared at Qin Ran.
But that's all she can do.
Because, a few minutes later, when she saw that Qin Ran had eaten all the roast rabbits on her plate, and there were no bones left, Amy immediately deflated.
She shrugged her shoulders and sat there.
"I know I'm wrong."
"I shouldn't be drinking, I shouldn't be here to make trouble."
"But I don't know where to go."
"I lost my boyfriend, I lost my job, I lost my best friend, and now I have nothing...... But I still can't forget him. ”
As she spoke, Amy began to sob.
And then......
A hand holding chicken soup appeared in front of her.
"There's nothing you can't forget, time is the best medicine."
"One day you will forget his face, his voice, and what he said, maybe, not now, but definitely later."
"Because, it's easy to forget."
"If you don't think about it, if you're not in a hurry, you forget it, just like the sky after fireworks."
"Nothing."
"But food is different, if love starts at the table and ends at the table, then only the food you eat will stay with you forever, become a part of your body, and become one with you."
Qin Ran said slowly.
Amy looked up stupidly, she had already forgotten about acting.
"Need it to warm your stomach and delight your soul?"
Qin Ran asked.
Amy nodded instinctively.
But as soon as he nodded, he reacted violently.
But it was too late.
Qin Ran's hand put down the chicken soup.
"Courtesy, 100."
Qin Ran said with a smile.
"You're blackmail!"
Amy's eyes narrowed again, and Qin Ran pointed to the monitor that was just an ornament.
"Profiteers!"
Amy put it another way.
"Drink the chicken broth while it's hot."
"It's not good when it's cold."
Qin Ran said as he walked towards the outside of the table.
Something still in his hand.
Moreover, not only the profiteer boss, but also the guest just now disappeared.
Suddenly, the restaurant was deserted.
Amy felt like she was being left out again.
"What a service attitude!"
"I won't come again...... It smells so good! ”
Amy picked up the chicken soup as she spoke, and after just taking a sip, Amy's face showed surprise, and she almost threw her neck up and drank the chicken soup completely.
"Give me another bowl!"
Amy shouted at the kitchen.
“100。”
Mimosa walked out.
"You...... Profiteer! ”
Amy said through gritted teeth.
But in the next moment, he took out two banknotes and put them on the bar.
Chicken soup reappeared.
Delicious as always.
Amy looked at the mimosa while drinking, and her eyes moved, "What is your relationship with the boss just now?" Apprenticeship? ”
"Brother."
Knowing what Qin Ran was doing when he left, Mimosa replied absentmindedly.
"Brother?"
"Not at all."
"He's cold, and you look delicate and cute."
"Your finances are in the hands of your brother, right?"
"Do you want to get rid of your fierce brother's control and earn a salary of your own?"
Amy smiled what she thought was sweet.
"Part-time job?"
"Yes."
Mimosa nodded.
Mimosas really want to generate income, not perfunctory.
Amy smiled even brighter.
"Come and make me soup!"
"That's it, I'll pay you 50 an hour!"
Amy thought she was giving a high price, but Mimosa shook her head seriously: "1000 per hour." ”
Amy was stunned.
"You're kidding me?!"
Amy glared at Mimosa.
"No!"
"I'm worth the price!"
Mimosa said seriously.
Even if you have to work part-time, you have to pay for it, Mimosa has always thought so.
"You!"
Amy pointed at the mimosa, and then, suddenly, chuckled.
First chuckled.
Laughter followed.
Laughing back and forth.
Even, the fork is over.
Just fell to the ground.
Then, the other party swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a pair of strong arms suddenly stretched out from under the ribs, grabbed the hair, and tore it violently.
Sting!
As if skinning a yellow eel, it revealed that it was bloody, strong, burly, and belonged to John. The figure of Dieson.
It stared at the mimosa, opened its mouth, and said word by word.
"You, of course it's worth the price!"
"Cutie!"
