Chapter 21: The Detective
"Who are you!" Seeing that someone wanted to stand up for the waitress, the yellow-faced woman said to Li Xi with a bad face.
"Police."
Hearing that Li Xi was a policeman, the yellow-faced woman's expression softened and explained: "Our store didn't charge 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, but today there was a customer who really didn't have change, and he was traveling from other places, so he insisted that I accept 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, so I was sure that there were 1,000 Hong Kong dollars in the cash register." ”
Li Xi's eyes glanced at the café and the counter and said, "I have a way to prove whether this thousand-dollar Hong Kong dollar is yours or not." ”
Li Xin'er followed behind Li Xi, and when she heard Li Xi's words and deeds, she was very surprised, this policeman was too confident, how long did it take? How could he possibly tell whose money really belonged to? Unless money can speak for itself.
Although she was a little skeptical of Li Xi's words, Li Xin'er didn't say anything, but was curious to see what Li Xi would do.
Under the puzzled gaze of the yellow-faced woman, Li Xi took the thousand-yuan bill from her hand, then put it between her nose and sniffed it, and then said with a smile: "This one...... The thousand Hong Kong dollars belong to this young lady. ”
The waitress should gratefully take the thousand Hong Kong dollars from his hand, and then hold it in her hand, and the yellow face on the side is of course unconvinced: "Smell it and know whose money it is?" You are the god dog Lassy! ”
"No, it won't! Can you sniff it and prove it? ”
"Yes, what the proprietress said is right, Mr. Policeman, you can't judge the case with your words, even if it is Bao Qingtian's case, you need evidence." Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Dead guy, what a pervert, I don't want to see other people's waitresses being sexy and sultry, just talk nonsense!" Li Xin'er frowned, and suddenly became disgusted with Li Xi in her heart, what she hated most was this kind of man.
Li Xi smiled slightly: "Of course there is evidence, it's very simple, boss lady, counterfeit banknotes have been popular among the citizens recently, you will definitely observe carefully when you collect money, and you will definitely hold it in your hand for a long time...... Boss, the smell of carminative oil on your body is very strong, have you often rubbed it recently? ”
"What?" The yellow-faced woman said.
Li Xi took a thousand Hong Kong dollars from the waitress's hand, put it between the noses of the onlookers and said, "You can smell it, this Hong Kong dollar not only does not have the smell of carminative oil, but also exudes the fragrance of lavender." ”
The onlookers smelled it one by one, and it was indeed as Li Xi said, there was no smell of carminative oil, but a scent of lavender.
"Really, it's the scent of lavender, and my wife often sprays it."
"Is this guy a dog's nose?" Li Xin'er thought strangely.
Actually, it wasn't that Li Xi's nose was really like a dog, but that as soon as he got close to the proprietress side, he smelled a strong smell of carminative oil.
Whether he was in the original world or traveled through, he was very sensitive to the smell of carminative oil.
The corners of Li Xi's mouth hooked slightly, and when she saw that everyone believed it, she immediately said: "This lavender fragrance is this young lady's, so this Hong Kong dollar is hers, and she is not a thief." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Policeman." After taking the money, the waitress said with a grateful look in her eyes.
Li Xin'er on the side was slightly surprised, and the eyes that looked at Li Xi did not have the disgust before.
Seeing this, the yellow-faced woman had no reason to wronged the waitress, and immediately bit at the other waitresses: "Did you steal it?" ”
The rest of the waitresses waved their hands in fright and said, "No, no ......"
In this case, the yellow-faced woman felt a little unable to get off the stage, there were policemen, and it was not good to be unreasonable, so she turned around and said fiercely to her husband: "You guy, you must be filling your pockets." ”
After speaking, she twisted her husband's ears fiercely.
"I don't, my wife ......" The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect his wife's fire to burn on him, as a soft rice eater, he didn't dare to resist at all, he could only shake his head in pain.
Li Xin'er walked to Li Xi's side and said, "Look at you, do you know who stole the 1,000 Hong Kong dollars?" ”
"Dr. Li is also concerned about this?" Li Xi said with a smile.
"Humph! I see that man is pitiful, you can help him, or his ears will be twisted off by his wife. Li Xin'er pretended to say.
"That man deserves it, he is afraid that his wife is not a man at all, and he is not worth helping, and the poor man must have something to hate." Li Xi said disdainfully.
It's okay to eat soft rice, but at least a man's dignity can't be lost, in front of the public, being treated like this by his wife is a man's ruin and resistance, not to mention that Li Xi also found one thing.
"Masculinity, it's not! The two husbands and wives respect each other as guests, the husband loves his wife, what do you know as a single man, and what are the poor people! Don't know what you're talking about? Li Xin'er pouted.
"Hehe...... Li Xi smiled mockingly, and said in a strange tone: "Not necessarily, you feel pitiful about that man, but he has something to hate." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Xin'er frowned, could it be that there was something wrong with the man.
Li Xi ignored it, but walked up to the yellow-faced woman and said, "Boss, you don't have to make a fuss, I'll help you find the money problem right away." ”
After speaking, Li Xi glanced between the counter and the cash register for a long time, and then pondered for a while and said, "Boss, are you very afraid of heat?" ”
"Yes."
"Is the electric fan next to the cash register on all day long?"
"Not bad."
Li Xi walked to the cash register money, looked at the cash register box that had been opened, and fiddled with the clip in the cash register box with his fingers and said: "The clip holding the banknote is a little loose, if I don't make a mistake in reasoning, the 1,000 Hong Kong dollars should be blown away by the wind of the fan." ”
The yellow-faced woman was a little unconvinced: "It's that simple? ”
Her husband said, "Look, I said you lost it accidentally." ”
The onlookers and the waitresses all gave the yellow-faced woman a roll of the eyes.
"Don't help looking for it yet." The yellow-faced woman yelled at the waitress and her husband.
Seeing that everyone wanted to find money, Li Xi waved his hand and said: "You don't need to look for it, with the wind speed of the fan and the weight of the banknote, I guess that this banknote should be under the counter." ”
After speaking, Li Xi squatted down and groped under the counter with his hand, and soon a thousand Hong Kong dollars were caught by his fingers.
"The smell of carminative oil, this should be the money you lost the boss!"
The case was solved, the money was found, and everyone at the scene looked at Li Xi with admiration.
"Detective!"
"This reasoning ability is amazing."
"It's also very observant."
"I heard that it's the police, and I don't know which district to guard, if only it were in our West Kowloon."
Under the admiring gaze of everyone, Li Xi paid for the coffee, and then left in style.
