Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dinner
So when Jiang Cheng turned on the surveillance video again, what he saw was dressed in makeup and half lying on the bed.
Unlike the vigilance and precaution in the interrogation room, she seemed to be relaxed at this time.
It's like an actor when the camera is just turned off, half out of breath, but not too invisible.
Jiang Cheng imagined what she would think of now if she was really Ruan Xian.
He watched it for a while, and a scene suddenly popped into his mind.
That was three years ago, and one night he was working overtime on a trafficking case when his boss, Peter, hurried back to the office to say that Ann and her daughter were missing. That was the first time he had heard the name Ruan Xian, and the first time he knew that the file status showed that he was a special secret senior's specific undercover mission.
Petken revealed it to him because Ann had already been exposed by then.
At that time, he was struggling with the invisible criminal Mao Ge who traveled between the country and the world, and he never thought that there was such a connection between the two cases of Mao Ge and Ann.
Jiang Cheng wanted to know if Sheng Zheng understood what her name meant yesterday.
But one thing is certain, she must know some insider - the organ is alive, it is Mao Ge's business, but this person is very ghostly, and he does not leave a tail, so there are a lot of legends on the road, but there is no evidence of actual effectiveness so far.
Before coming to Nancheng, he had already thought of two different identities, and maybe he could take the opportunity to eat for a while, which disguise could help him decide which disguise to use.

The takeaway was quickly delivered here, Jiang Cheng went upstairs with a large bag of plastic boxes, and was just about to knock, but the door opened by himself first.
Sheng Makeup rushed out as violently as a cannonball, almost knocking over the lunch box.
"I ordered a double and let's eat some together."
She did look hungry, her face was dished, and her expression flickered visibly when she heard that there was ready-made food, and she pretended to think for a minute before nodding, "That's okay." ”
Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that her acting skills were very poor.
Sheng Makeup took the lead and sat at the dining table, staring at him as he pulled out boxes of boxes from plastic bags.
Mango sticky rice, tom yum gong, fish cake curry, charcoal grilled shrimp, stir-fried crab curry, papaya salad.
Jiang Cheng ordered all the specialties of Thai food, seven or eight lunch boxes, full of a table, and the aroma soon filled the room.
He looked at her expression, and it was obvious that these dishes were her liking, but when she saw the bottle of wine, her expression was colder than before.
Neither of them spoke, and ate for a while.
Jiangcheng vegetable rice is eaten alternately, and a bowl of rice is just halfway down, and the bowl of makeup is bottomed out.
He noticed that she was eating tightly at first, and then began to slowly pick up the dishes. The posture of eating vegetables is similar to that of eating staple food, picking and choosing, papaya salad is almost not touched, and the other few items are also picked out first with coriander and garlic before putting vegetables into the bowl.
Sensing Jiang Cheng's gaze, Sheng Makeup slowed down his movements and asked with his eyes.
"The dish is not the right appetite? I see you wait until the staple is finished before you start eating. ”
Sheng Xiang chewed and swallowed a mouthful of food before he spoke, his lips were oily, "That's not it, there is a sense of security when you eat the food first, and you will eat the vegetables when you have time, so that you won't be hungry if you don't have time to eat the vegetables." ”
may be because of the fatigue caused by days of pressure, or the homely fireworks of eating diluted her defense, the tone of her makeup and speech was calmer than yesterday, and the edge in her eyes was also a lot more restrained, without the strength of the back of the paper, the pen was idle, and the expression was very light.
Jiang Cheng even had the illusion that this woman was like a hollowed-out vessel, immersed in whatever kind of environment she was immersed in, and what kind of assimilation she received.
Could it be that the cruelty in her previous photos and in prison was an empty shell disguise?
However, his idea was quickly overturned.
