Chapter 46: I Did It On Purpose
Yao Qiao's eyes looking at Ivan couldn't hide her confusion at all, and Ivan also noticed this when he looked at her.
"Is there anything you want to ask me, Miss Yaoqiao? I see that you seem to have something to think of, and you are hesitant and difficult to judge. ”
"Yes, Mr. Ivan, I don't understand why you went to say so many things to that shopkeeper today."
Yao Qiao's expression was very serious, this was the simplest she could think of, and she could summarize her doubts in one sentence.
"I saw that you were in other places before, talking with other shopkeepers, almost all of them were clear in three or two sentences, and they were summarized directly and clearly, or sometimes they were brought directly, and they were too lazy to answer. But it is clear that today you can feel that you are answering his questions very seriously, both in attitude and in words. This sudden contrast makes me not quite understand why you are like this. ”
"Didn't you tell me before? Don't tell anyone who is not relevant and give them too much information. Otherwise, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble and danger, but today you have apparently told him a lot about the itinerary between us. If they had known about our itinerary, wouldn't they have been in danger of the ones you mentioned? No one can be sure whether he is good or bad. ”
Yao Qiao sat on one side of the table, and the two of them sat almost half opposite each other, so that they could just talk face to face.
Yao Qiao's words were straightforward, basically saying what he wanted to ask, and at the same time naming what Ivan had mentioned before.
This is indeed a point that Ivan was very taboo before, and he did tell Yao Qiao about this issue, so it can be said that he didn't want to say too much at all. It's just that today's situation is a little special, Ivan looked at Yao Qiao, she still looked at the problem too one-sidedly.
Ivan was trying to figure out how to explain the problem to her at this point. I saw him blink slightly.
It seemed that this was a very sensitive issue, and at the same time, before Ivan could think about what to say, he leaned in to Yao Qiao's side.
Yao Qiao's gaze stayed on Ivan's face, and she didn't react too much to his sudden approach, she just didn't know why.
On the contrary, he was even more curious, why Ivan sat suddenly instead of facing each other, there must be a situation.
"What's the matter, Prince Ivan."
Qiao Qiao was very keenly aware of Ivan's strangeness, and obviously she also felt that what Ivan was going to say later was definitely not so simple.
"Don't talk, listen to me explain to you in a whisper, this issue should not be quiet, it may have something to do with both of us."
Ivan said as he looked around, the tables around him were not close together, and people kept their distance from each other.
It can be said that if you speak quietly at one table, the other tables are almost inaudible, or difficult to hear.
In addition, there was some noise in the morning, and it was impossible to amplify the voice of a person who deliberately spoke in a low voice, so it was unnecessary.
Seeing that there were no people around him who seemed to behave very suspiciously, Ivan changed the angle, and the seat was also reoriented.
The people Ivan tried to put his back on Yao Qiao were the people who looked normal and lived in the border city.
Seeing Ivan's somewhat serious appearance, Yao Qiao not only felt that this matter was a little strange, but also frowned slightly.
Presumably this should be something more important, Yao Qiao did not face Ivan again, but consciously turned his face slightly.
It was also a habit that the two of them had developed over time, whenever Ivan indicated that he needed to speak quietly.
Yao Qiao will consciously turn her face sideways and listen with her ears, so that even if the voice is smaller, she can still hear clearly.
No matter what Ivan was saying, he looked at Yao Qiao with a deferential look, and naturally did not hesitate too much.
"Miss Yao Qiao, let me tell you so."
Before he officially spoke, Ivan habitually looked around at the crowd around him, and only continued after making sure that he was sure.
"Didn't we run into a shopkeeper when we went out this morning? But I only saw one shopkeeper, the shopkeeper who just talked to me. I don't know if you've noticed what he looks like, and how he speaks. Anyway, when I went downstairs, I didn't have time to look at his face, I just heard his voice, and I felt very strange. ”
"The voice apparently hadn't been in the inn before, or I hadn't heard it at all, so I wasn't impressed at all. In other words, the shopkeeper who appeared this morning, the shopkeeper in your mouth, is most likely not the other shopkeeper who appeared in this store. At the same time, the whole inn was a little weirdly quiet this morning, and the whole atmosphere made me feel a little abnormal. ”
Ivan recounted what he had seen and heard, which also made Yao Qiao's eyes wide, and she didn't pay attention at all.
Such a subtle place, a sound or something, there is no need to write it down in Yao Qiao's subconscious, and it is meaningless at all.
However, listening to what Ivan said, coupled with Yao Qiao's review of the scene at that time, there is such a thing, which is really not normal.
Listening to Ivan's words, Yao Qiao gradually fell into deep thought, and she began to recall along Ivan's train of thought, without thinking about interrupting him.
Ivan naturally has his own overall thinking and the logical order of his speech, as long as Yao Qiao listens all the time, he should be able to understand.
"You must know that in an inn, there are not a few service shopkeepers. But the two of us have been living there for so many days, and I have more or less seen some faces who have been in the inn for a long time, with a high probability of appearing. During the period of continuous living, even if there are a lot of small people in those shops, I may not be able to tell who is who, and it is unlikely that the face and name match the number. ”
"But the voices that often appear in the store, a few shopkeepers, basically I have all remembered in my head. It was clear that something wasn't quite right with that voice today, I felt like I'd never heard it, and we probably hadn't seen this person in the afterglow. At this time, it is late autumn, and it is impossible for the store to casually run to the street and find a new person to fill up. ”
The more Ivan spoke, the stronger his tone and attitude became, as if this was something he could roughly grasp at the moment.
It's just that Yao Qiao is still following his train of thought, and she doesn't connect the whole very quickly, and she has forgotten the person's voice.
"Then the only thing I can judge is the shopkeeper who accosted me today, and it is very likely that he is not from this inn at all. Maybe it's still a dangerous identity that none of us can guess, which is why I didn't cover up my words today, I did it on purpose. ”
