Chapter 16: Bloody Steak
Yin Jie received a call from Lin Jinghao and readily agreed, but they needed to go to the hotel where he lived to meet by themselves.
Although Gu Qing said that he would not 'chase stars', as soon as he heard that Lin Jinghao had really made an appointment with Yin Jie, he immediately quarreled. There was no way, Lin Jinghao only took Pei Feng and her, changed into civilian clothes, and drove Gu Qing's small MINI car on the road.
The Excellence Hotel is located in the center of Qingshan Town, with a total of 18 floors, although it is not as luxurious as the hotel in the big city, but it is also one of the top five hotels in the city, which is undoubtedly due to the fact that it is the property of the Pang family.
After stopping the car and talking to Yin Jie, Yin Jie said that he was already waiting for them in the restaurant on the first floor. Walking into the door of the restaurant, on the side of the window, Yin Jie was waving to them, and opposite him sat a familiar woman.
"Lin Suo, you're finally here." As soon as she walked over, the woman stood up, it was Xia Mingyue. After work, Xia Mingyue wore a black dress, lining her skin that had not seen the sun all year round, unusually white, so white that she seemed to be able to see the blood vessels under her skin.
"Xia Mingyue, why are you?" Before Lin Jinghao could talk, Gu Qing behind him shouted.
"Who are these two?"
"Oh, these two are my colleagues, Gu Qing and Pei Feng, as soon as they heard that I knew you, a popular painter, they clamored to come along, you won't mind."
"How can you mind? Unexpectedly, there are so many beauties hidden in this small Qingshan Town, Yin Jie is really eye-opening. "Now Yin Jie has changed into casual clothes, and he looks much more 'normal' than in the morning.
"After meeting Officer Lin in the morning, I met this beauty again, I didn't expect that she and I have too many common views on this world, you should know each other, right?" Seeing that Gu Qing and Xia Mingyue were already sitting together and chatting, Yin Jie said with a smile.
"Forensic Doctor Xia, didn't you explain your identity to Painter Yin?" As soon as Lin Jinghao finished speaking, he immediately attracted Xia Mingyue's fierce gaze.
"Forensics? It's no wonder that I have such a deep understanding of death. Yin Jie's misty little eyes suddenly brightened, and it seemed that in his eyes, Xia Mingyue had become a rare treasure.
"You must have seen Pang Shao's body, can you tell me about the situation at that time and promote my creative inspiration." , The air froze instantly, Yin Jie was completely unafraid of the frightened eyes of others, his eyes looked directly at Xia Mingyue, his eyes were full of longing.
"An artist is an artist!" When all the people didn't know how to answer, suddenly a voice of 'worship' came out.
"Yin Da painter, you must sign it for me." It was Pei Feng, when everyone ignored his existence, he took out his notebook and pen and began to brush his sense of existence.
"By the way, he's a big fan of yours." The embarrassing situation was opened, and Lin Jinghao took the opportunity to change the topic.
Pei Feng was still not satisfied after signing the name, and asked to take a photo with Yin Jie, and in the end, he was satisfied and hid to the side to show off.
"Painter of Death, what are we going to eat?" Xia Mingyue's voice suddenly became weird.
"Why don't we have a steak for one person today, it's more in line with our theme today." The conversation between Yin Jie and the others made everyone else ignorant.
"Before we get started, let's show my respect for the goddess with my homemade cocktail."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Jie reached out and mysteriously took out a bottle of blood-red liquid from under the stool.
"Bloody Mary!" Xia Mingyue shouted excitedly, attracting the attention of the entire restaurant.
"What are you two doing?" Facing a bottle of liquid that was as thick as human blood, Gu Qing frowned.
"Waiter, bring me a cup." Looking at Gu Qingyue's frown, the more proud Yin Jie seemed to be.
"Gu Qing, is this a very famous cocktail, or is it homemade by our great painter, don't spoil the fun, okay?" It was obvious that Xia Mingyue couldn't stop excitedly, her face turned crimson, and she grabbed Gu Qing's arm tightly, for fear that all this would suddenly stop.
"We're sorry, but we don't accept alcohol." The waitress with the wine glass stood at the table and said in confusion.
"Hey, do you know who he is? He is the guest of honor invited by your Pang Dong. Being swept away by the waiter, Xia Mingyue was obviously unhappy.
"yes, call your manager." Pei Feng finished posting his circle of friends, and he began to fight for his idols.
"What's wrong? Ladies and gentlemen, he is new here, and if there is anything he has not done well, please bear with me. A handsome guy in the manager's uniform walked over, saw the wine bottle that Yin Jie put on the table, and immediately understood the situation.
"Come, I'll pour wine for you, should I accompany you." The manager glanced at the waitress, picked up the wine glasses she brought, placed them in front of everyone in turn, and then skillfully poured them blood-red glasses one by one.
"Forensic Doctor Xia, it's time for you to tell you a story about this glass of wine." After the manager finished pouring the wine and left, Yin Jie looked at Xia Mingyue who picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.
"Bloody Mary was the Countess of Countess Lee Kerst, a peerless Hungarian beauty in the 18th century, who had a terrifying recipe for beauty: bathing in the blood of a pure maiden. Until the age of seventy, this beauty's skin was still as delicate and smooth and shiny as a newborn baby. Xia Mingyue picked up the wine glass and shook it gently at the light, she seemed to enjoy this bloody and terrifying atmosphere very much.
Later, the French Revolution broke out. The enraged crowd seized the seventy-year-old Countess Lee Kerster, and in their rage, they burned her alive in her own bathroom and sealed the castle to put an end to the terrible curse. It is said that a lot of bones have been excavated under the bathroom of this house, and these bones are the bones of the girl who was killed in legend. ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, you still don't let people eat properly." Gu Qing covered his ears with both hands, and his face was already so frightened that he was bloodless.
"Gu Qing, you are a policeman, you are so timid, we are still here." Xia Mingyue glanced at her best friend with disdain.
"Is your theme today a bloody story?" This time, when it was finally Gu Qing's turn to be afraid, Pei Feng seemed to have found an opportunity to show his masculinity.
"Lin Suo, let's find a place to eat by ourselves." was 'betrayed' by her little follower, Gu Qing's face couldn't hold it, and she began to encourage Lin Jinghao to leave.
"Xiao Gu, I haven't seen you so cowardly, next time there is a murder, do you want to call you or not?" Lin Jinghao looked at Gu Qing, who was playing with the lady's temper, and smiled, in fact, when Gu Qing was afraid, it was when Lin Jinghao appreciated it the most.
"Don't you dare to call me?" Gu Qing was hit by a move, and the figure that stood up immediately sat back again.
The steak came up, Gu Qing and Lin Jinghao were medium-rare, and as soon as they came up, they exuded a smell of beef; Pei Feng ordered five medium rare, this was to show his 'man' spirit in front of Gu Qing, Xia Mingyue ordered three medium rare, and when the steak was served, there was still obvious blood on it.
"Miss Xia, you are the first lady I have ever met to order a medium-rare steak, and sure enough, you and I are a 'fellow traveler.' Yin Jie looked at the bloody steak in front of Xia Mingyue and gave a thumbs up.
"Painter Yin, you can't order it for a minute, right?" Xia Mingyue looked at Yin Jie's appearance and said in disbelief.
"Hehe, people like us who have been dealing with death for a long time have to eat steak with a mouthful of blood to enjoy it." Yin Jie smiled proudly, and accidentally opened his mouth wide, and there was a pair of small tiger teeth, and at first glance, he looked a little like a vampire.
Yin Jie's steak was served, and the crunchy layer from the outside was not as terrible as imagined.
"Please eat, everyone," Yin Jie picked up the knife and fork, and with the sound of the blade cutting through the steak, the bloody beef turned out, which was no different from eating it raw.
Pei Feng looked at his idol eating steak, and he couldn't help but stop, Gu Qing couldn't stand it, so he simply lowered his head and didn't look at him.
"Officer, why don't you eat?" Yin Jie found that Pei Feng was looking at him, raised his head and asked.
The corners of his mouth were still clicking, and there were obvious blood stains, as if he were a 'beast' enjoying the incomparably delicious taste. ’
Drinking 'Bloody Mary' and eating steak with blood on the corners of his mouth. After eating a steak meal, Gu Qing and Pei Feng fled back to the car first, leaving only Lin Jinghao and Xia Mingyue.
Xia Mingyue seemed to be very excited tonight, and she didn't seem to want to leave at all, Lin Jinghao couldn't leave out of politeness, so she could only sit with her.
"I'm so happy today, next time I'll make you another bottle of 'vampire wine' for you to drink." By the time the bottle of Bloody Mary was drunk, it had completely darkened, and Gu Qing had already called several times outside to urge.
Lin Jinghao wanted to leave, but Xia Mingyue seemed to have really found a confidant who also liked 'death', no matter how Lin Jinghao gave her a look, she didn't seem to see it. However, the final result was that Yin Jie himself was drunk and staggered, and as soon as he stood up, he began to sway, but fortunately, the manager saw it and quickly helped him up.
"Two of you, please go back, I'll send Painter Yin up." There have been Pang Dong's orders, and the manager is particularly attentive.
Seeing the manager helping Yin Jie to the elevator, Xia Mingyue reluctantly turned around.
"Lin Suo, do you know, I'm really happy today. Every day, I face dead people who can't speak, and today I finally have someone who can discuss the meaning of death face to face. Xia Mingyue's face turned red, it seemed that under her usual cold appearance, in fact, there was also a heart that she wanted to talk to.
