Volume 1 Border City Chapter 25 Poisoning
For the next half a day, Han Xiao had been watching Chef Zhang handle the ingredients, cook the dishes, deal with the needle lizard, and a few good dishes, but Han Xiao was obviously absent-minded, and Chef Zhang didn't say anything in his eyes.
After Chef Zhang gave all the prepared things to the people who specially delivered the dishes to the various chiefs, he led Han Xiao back to the big kitchen.
In fact, there were very few officers in the entire battalion who ate in their own barracks, and most of them ate in the big canteen with their brothers.
Just like the first day, Han Xiao and Xiao Wu still had to prepare the ingredients for the next day at night, and it was late at night, and after Xiao Wu left, Han Xiao disappeared into the night after a while.
Unlike the first day, this time Han Xiao's direction was clear, the route was clear, and his eyes flashed as he moved quickly, as if he could already smell the bloody breath in the air.
After avoiding a few groups of patrol soldiers without danger, Han Xiao finally came to the barracks he saw during the day, but what made him strange was that there were no guards here at the moment.
Han Xiao shook a boning knife stolen from the kitchen and listened to the side of the barracks for a long time, but he never heard the slightest movement inside.
The barracks are no different from other houses in the city, there is no hiding on the roof, and the special materials make it easy to make a loud noise as long as someone steps on the top of the barracks.
Gritting his teeth, Han Xiao flashed into the barracks.
As soon as he entered the barracks, Han Xiao could be sure that there was no one here, not a single one.
Han Xiao wondered in his heart, where could Xiao Ming go in the middle of the night? But it didn't matter if he wasn't there, he hid in the barracks first, and when Xiao Ming came back, he would be killed with one blow, and then leave directly at night, as long as he didn't alarm others when he killed Xiao Ming, during the period before Xiao Ming was killed and exposed, Han Xiao was confident that he could get out safely.
After waiting in Xiao Ming's barracks for a long, long time, Han Xiaodu wondered if he had gone to the wrong barracks, and he went out twice for this, and finally confirmed that this was the barracks he saw during the day.
And although there are very few things here, you can still judge that you are not wrong on the only remaining items, especially a folding fan with Xiao Ming's signature written on it, and there is still a faint fragrance on the folding fan, it seems that if Xiao Ming is assassinated by himself, it is estimated that at least one woman in this world will be sad.
However, just waiting until dawn, Han Xiao still couldn't wait for Xiao Ming, there was no way, Han Xiao had to retreat again and go straight to his barracks, and he had to think about how to explain that he was not in the barracks.
Originally, Han Xiao thought that he would finish the task last night and didn't have to go back, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as the sky, and he never waited for people, and at this time, many people in the barracks had already gotten up to prepare breakfast, and the situation of his absence must have been known.
When Han Xiao arrived at the big kitchen, he found that there were already many people busy working inside, and he knew that he couldn't hide that he was not in the barracks, so he simply stopped hiding it and walked straight into the big kitchen.
"Zhang boy, you can be regarded as appearing, and the head has been looking for you for a long time. A man who was busy boiling porridge shouted at the top of his throat when he saw Han Xiao coming in.
For a while, all the people in the entire big kitchen noticed Han Xiao's arrival, and Han Xiao really wanted to pinch this guy to death at the moment, his current exposure rate is very scary, at least everyone here knows that there is such a newcomer who is very heavy, and even a little too heavy.
"Brother Han, you're back. Xiao Wu hurriedly came out of the inner room, ran to Han Xiao and whispered in Han Xiao's ear, even the person who spoke just now not far away couldn't hear it clearly, obviously Xiao Wu was very careful.
"Brother Han, Zhang Tou'er has been looking for you since he got up, but he has never found you, he asked me to see you and told you to go to the small kitchen to find him. β
"Okay, I'll go. Han Xiao turned around directly and prepared to leave.
Xiao Wu grabbed Han Xiao's sleeve and added: "Brother Han, Zhang Tou'er's face was ugly when he didn't find you, be careful." β
"Don't worry, it's okay. After speaking, Han Xiao walked out of the big kitchen.
"I said Lao Fan, we are really interested in this kid, I have never seen anyone like this, I just keep it in my heart all the time. β
"Hey, it's not that you don't know the situation of our boss, if Leizi hadn't had an accident, he should be about the same age as Zhang Xiaozi. β
"Leizi should be smaller than Zhang Xiaohan, but it's not much worse. β
"I'm afraid the boss really treats Zhang Xiaohan as a thunderbolt. β
"Hey. β
Both of them sighed, so they didn't say anything anymore, and went about their own things, leaving Xiao Wu on the side still thinking about something.
Han Xiao walked to the door of the small kitchen, and found that the guards were no longer the two people from last time, and he should have changed a few shifts of people, originally he thought that he was going to be called again, but he didn't expect Zhang Tou'er to appear at the door, obviously he had been waiting for him in the door.
"You come with me. Chef Zhang said to Han Xin with a blank face.
Han Xiao had already sensed the coldness in Chef Zhang's tone, and it seemed that things were more serious than he thought.
Originally, according to his own thoughts, he was just not in the barracks in the morning, and it shouldn't be a big deal, and everyone wouldn't think that he would have ill intentions towards a senior officer, but looking at the current situation, he at least had to find a way to deal with Chef Zhang, the leader of the house.
After following Chef Zhang in, he walked all the way to the place where he observed and studied last time, and now there are only two people in the small kitchen, Chef Zhang and Han Xiao, and Chef Zhang looked outside, then picked up the ingredients that had been cleaned up and walked inside for a while, making sure that the conversation would not be heard by the doorman before stopping.
"Xiao Han, where have you been?" Zhang Tou asked calmly, but Han Xiao could still feel the strangeness in his tone.
"Zhang Tou'er, where can I go, I just can't sleep and go out for a walk. When Han Xin said these words, he wanted to laugh, if he could get through the tricks, it would be a ghost, so when he answered, he had secretly accumulated strength, and he couldn't say that he was sorry for this boss who has always taken care of him today, and even all the people in the entire big kitchen.
"Since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask more, and you don't have to worry about the brothers outside, I told them that you are following my orders to do things, and they will not suspect anything for the time being. β
"I literally went for a walk. Han Xiao, who was originally going to do it, coughed dryly after hearing Zhang Tou's words and said again.
"You have been in the barracks for two days, and if I am not mistaken, you also went out for a long time last night before coming back, which means that you went out for a long walk every night. Chef Zhang looked at Han Xiao's embarrassed expression and continued: "Yesterday, when I looked at the dishes you cut, I always felt that something was wrong for a while, but I just didn't remember it. I took a look at it again tonight and finally determined that you are a master. β
Seeing Chef Zhang staring at him, Han Xiao wanted to open his mouth to deny it, but Chef Zhang didn't give him a chance.
"I wasn't a cook in the barracks at the beginning, but a squadron leader, and although I had average martial arts talent, my eyesight was still very good. If it's not because of this relationship, do you think there will be so many lower-level officers in the army who sell me the face of a cook?"
Han Xiao had actually always wondered why Wei Sheng and that quartermaster would value Chef Zhang, a person who had no status at all, so much, and now he had already gotten the answer from Chef Zhang's mouth. Since he is a former squadron leader, he must have no chance to cover up his situation in the past two days, and there is still a world of difference between the squadron leader and the cook.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. β
"I can't talk about disappointment, it's just that I want to know what you want to do. β
"Kill. Han Xiao said nonchalantly.
After Zhang Tou'er heard it, his pupils shrank, although he had expected it, but after hearing it from Han Xiao's mouth, he still couldn't accept it, the child who was originally a little naΓ―ve in his eyes suddenly became a cold-blooded killer.
"Kill whom?"
"Xiao Ming!"
"Is it because he killed the general in the barracks two days ago?"
"It's not. β
"Oh, that Zhang Xiaohan is your pseudonym. β
"Yes. β
Zhang Tou suddenly smiled, and then turned to Han Xinxing: "Even if it is debunked, you don't have to be so obvious, answer me a few questions, and none of them are more than two words." β
Han Xiaoye smiled awkwardly: "This, shouldn't the killer be like this?"
"I don't know what a killer looks like, but if you really want to kill someone, don't be like this, it's very unnatural and easy to be seen through. And your actions in the past two days have too many loopholes, if there is such a chance in the future, I suggest that you spend more time disguising and covering up the traces of your actions, you look really bad now. β
Han Xiao touched his head: "Thank you for your teachings, you must pay attention next time." β
"Haha. β
After laughing, he suddenly fell into silence.
"I can't tell you who you are. β
"I'm sorry. I don't know if I can answer a question as well. β
"Say, don't be a mother-in-law, like a girl. Zhang Tou's temperament changed abruptly, from a kind cook to a general who led the troops to kill.
"You and I have never known anything in our lives, why do you help me so much. β
Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes actually lost focus and fell into deep thought, but when he woke up again, Han Xiao's eyes changed, and he became indescribable.
Han Xiao saw the change in his head, which was very familiar and very unfamiliar. He had seen this kind of look in the teacher's eyes, but it was slightly different, I don't know what was going on, Han Xiao felt a faint pain in his heart, when the teacher looked at him before, he just felt that it was a kind of love, and he didn't feel like this now.
"Hey, you're just an old friend like me. β
Then there was silence in the air again, originally Han Xiao thought that Zhang Tou'er would explain again, but what he waited for was another sentence from Zhang Tou, a sentence that ended the original relationship between them.
"It is impossible to persuade you to give up, then let me tell you, Xiao Ming moved to the command room of the new barracks last night, there is a prepared breakfast there, which was originally going to be sent over, and now it seems that you should not let me go. β
Han Xiao nodded, and at the same time, it suddenly dawned on him, no wonder he waited all night in vain last night.
"Am I going to die, then?"
Han Xiao did not answer.
Chef Zhang smiled: "Fortunately, you finally didn't make a mistake in such an important matter, if you really let me go like this, then I guess your plan will never succeed, because you have too many personal feelings." After speaking, Chef Zhang drew a simple map on the ground, and looked at Han Xiao after drawing, Han Xiao nodded and Chef Zhang immediately erased the map.
"Come on, let me see what you are capable of killing a high-ranking officer single-handedly. As he spoke, Chef Zhang picked up the kitchen knife next to him.
Han Xiao nodded, his body moved, and before Chef Zhang could see it clearly, he had already slashed his neck with a hand knife, and when Han Xiao held Chef Zhang, who was about to fall, he heard Chef Zhang muttering two words: "So fast." β
