"Boss! If you say that, it will hurt my image very much! Li Yuansan followed Xue Mingkai to the town, with a look of indignation.

He remembered the snickering expressions on the faces of the group of people who heard the leader's words, and he was very depressed, listening to the meaning of the leader's words, didn't he mean that he was the same as the group of women who liked to talk about the family!

He Li Yuansan expressed dissatisfaction!

Xue Mingkai walked on the street, expressionless, glanced at him when he heard the words, and said without feeling guilty at all: "Do you have any misunderstanding about yourself?" ”

"Huh?"

"The premise of the image damage is that you have to have it."

“……”

Li Yuansan stopped, looked at Xue Mingkai's back with wide eyes, and after a while, he snorted unconvinced, and then caught up with Xue Mingkai's back, and then the words were not interrupted.

Well, Li Yuansan will not admit that he did it on purpose, he knows that the leader doesn't like to talk a lot, and he is using his own specialty advantage to retaliate!

"Chief, where are we going?"

“……”

"Aren't we investigating Aunt Zhou's case? Aren't you going back to close the case? ”

“……”

"How can I say it, although this case looks ordinary, but the way of death is bizarre, but with my years of experience in handling cases, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, this week's aunt died in a blur, do you say there is a shadow of a person hidden behind it?"

“……”

"We asked the people of the Zhou family and the neighbors in the village one by one, and they all said that Aunt Zhou was lazy and had a hot temper, and I was easy to make enemies with others at a glance."

“……”

"That Li Niangzi I think is also very suspicious, looking at her snarky appearance, at a glance you know that she is a person who is easy to hold grudges, she also had a big quarrel with Zhou Lady some time ago, it is reported that the two are tearing each other apart outside the door, and many people have seen it!"

“……”

"Boss, you came here after seeing the Zhou family, did you find any new clues?"

“……”

"That's right! Boss, did you just talk to that little girl from the Zhou family? Did she say something she hadn't found before? Do we still need to bring her in and ask her carefully? ”

The string that Xue Mingkai meant to be calm in his mind "snapped" and stopped, he stopped suddenly, Li Yuansan, who had been following closely behind him, was chattering with his head down, and he almost bumped into him without paying attention, but fortunately he finally stopped in time, so he didn't fall behind him, but he was still a little unhappy.

"Boss, if you stop suddenly, remember to tell me, you see I almost knocked you off!"

"Lee Won-san ......"

"In!"

"Shut up!"

Li Yuansan looked at him with a confused expression.

"Before I let you speak, if you dare to make another sound and be heard by me......"

Li Yuansan swallowed his saliva and cautiously asked with his eyes: What will happen?

"You're responsible for pouring all the night incense this month." Xue Mingkai said expressionlessly.

Li Yuansan's eyes widened, and he was about to open his mouth to speak, when he suddenly remembered something and quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound, just accusing him with his eyes and expressing his dissatisfaction.

It's too much! He had just poured a whole month of night incense last month, and he had just rested for a few days this month, and let him pour it again!

Xue Mingkai's ears finally quieted down, only to feel that the "buzzing" sound like a fly just now disappeared, and the whole person became much clearer, ignoring the past with the angry gaze cast by Li Yuansan, taking a new step and walking straight towards his original goal.

Li Yuansan hurriedly followed.

After a while, the two of them appeared in the narrow alley diagonally opposite a pastry shop, and Xue Mingkai stared at the shop intently, slowly taking a look at the situation inside.

It's not a market day, so there aren't so many customers, except for the shopkeeper who is busy in the store and a shopkeeper, there are only three or five customers who come to buy pastries, which looks a little empty.

Xue Mingkai was twisting his eyebrows and pondering, when someone suddenly poked him on the shoulder, he subconsciously turned his head to see that Li Yuansan's enlarged face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"......" Xue Mingkai, who was stunned by success for a second, looked at him with a dark face, stretched out his index finger and middle finger, directly pushed his head away, and said coldly, "If there is anything, you just say it, what are you doing so close!" ”

"Didn't you stop me from talking! Blame me for not being silent at this time, is it really good for you to change your mind for a while, boss? Li Yuansan heard that he could speak, and hurriedly complained.

The corners of Xue Mingkai's eyes twitched, and he said ruthlessly: "Then you still don't say it." ”

"Don't don't, I'm wrong, my boss, you can hold the boat in your pregnant belly, so don't be like me." Li Yuansan was afraid that he would really not let him speak, so he immediately said flatteringly.

"What a pregnant belly! That's the Prime Minister's belly! The corners of Xue Mingkai's mouth twitched and glanced at him, and he began to seriously reflect on whether his behavior of bringing Li Yuansan on him was inappropriate.

"Oops, it's the same, it's all big bellies, it's no difference." Li Yuansan waved his hand casually and asked, "By the way, what are you bringing me here for?" Finally my conscience found that he wanted to treat me to something delicious? ”

Xue Mingkai looked at him expressionlessly, exuding a cold aura all over his body, and Li Yuansan immediately shrunk his neck like a cat and mouse when he saw it, and honestly stopped talking.

"I didn't find anything new about Aunt Zhou's case, but I learned a new detail, I'll come over to check it." Seeing that he was quiet, Xue Mingkai's face eased, and he said, "That little girl said that every time her grandmother was angry, Uncle Zhou would buy Aunt Zhou's favorite Fu Ji mung bean cake and go back, and that morning was the same, Uncle Zhou bought mung bean cake and went back, but Aunt Zhou died before she ate it." ”

"Fu Ji?" Li Yuansan glanced at the Fu Ji pastry shop outside the narrow alley, frowned, and said, "Then why didn't Aunt Zhou's family tell us about this in the first place?" ”

"Maybe it's because it's too ordinary in their eyes, as natural as drinking water and eating, so they ignore it."

Drinking water when you are thirsty, eating when you are hungry, and dressing when you are cold, these are all natural phenomena of conditioned reflex, perhaps in the eyes of Aunt Zhou's family, it is a strange thing for her to be angry that Uncle Zhou did not buy Fu Ji mung bean cake, so she automatically ignored this matter and did not say it.

"That's right." Li Yuansan nodded, and then looked at Xue Mingkai when he noticed that something was wrong, "Then what did you bring me here for?" ”

"Let's talk to the store and see if we can get any clues." Xue Mingkai said his original plan simply and clearly.

"That's easy to say, just leave it to me." Li Yuansan patted his chest and reassured.

Xue Mingkai glanced at him, didn't say anything, and took him out of the narrow alley and went directly to Fu Ji.

The shopkeeper of Fu Ji was counting the account books at the counter, and he inadvertently swept away, and saw that there were two poor men wearing official clothes walking towards him, he immediately put down his pen, did not dare to slack off and stepped forward, and said with a very enthusiastic smile: "The two poor masters are coming to our store to eat?" Please inside inside, please. ”

"This hellish weather, it's hot to death, don't be busy yet, bring us two bowls of tea." Li Yuansan consciously took the initiative to take over the conversation, led Xue Mingkai to the Fu Ji, and followed the words of the store by the way.

"Isn't it, it's hot this day, and it's almost roasting." The shopkeeper called the shopkeeper to bring tea to the store, and at the same time politely led them to sit in the most ventilated place, echoing.

"Hey, it's still comfortable in the store, as long as you guard the shop on this hot day, you can't go anywhere, unlike our two brothers, who run under the sun all day long, and just came back from a place after patrolling, no, after you rest here for a while, you have to go to the next place to patrol the street." Li Yuansan was fanning the wind with his hand while chatting with the shopkeeper standing aside.

Xue Mingkai sat opposite Li Yuansan, listening to him chatting with the shopkeeper without saying a word, and sat straight with his back like a stone sculpture.

"Hey, sir, you don't know, don't look at us not to run in the sun, but staying in the store also has our difficulties." He waved his hand to the running hall to let him go down, and he took the initiative to pour tea for him, and said while adding tea, "As soon as the weather is hot, there are fewer people who come to buy pastries, and I can't store this pastry, or it will be bad in a few days, but I'm worried about it." ”

"Ah, don't you say that I don't think I'm really hungry when you mention it." Li Yuansan touched his stomach, looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "What is the best pastry in your store?" Give me a plate, I'll have to run the street later, so I'll fill my stomach first. ”

"Every pastry in our shop tastes so good that people who have eaten it are full of praise." The shopkeeper said, "But when it comes to the most popular, it has to be our mille-feuille cake and mung bean cake, which are the fastest selling ones here." ”

Hearing the three words of mung bean cake, Li Yuansan subconsciously looked at Xue Mingkai and found that he was also looking at himself, Li Yuansan raised his eyebrows at him, and continued to follow the shopkeeper's words, "That's okay, then you can serve these two plates, and I'll take away the ones that can't be eaten, just so that the rest of the brothers can also taste them." ”

"This ......," the shopkeeper's face looked embarrassed.

"What? Could it be that both of these are sold out? Li Yuansan looked at the shopkeeper in surprise.

Isn't it said that the weather has been hot recently, and there are fewer customers who come to buy pastries, so why is it that they have been sold out in just one morning?

"Oh no, no, no, it's not all sold...... It's such an official, there's no problem with mille-feuille cakes, I want to have several plates, but this mung bean cake is a bit troublesome. ”

When the shopkeeper said this, Xue Mingkai couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him, wanting to hear what kind of trouble he said.

"Trouble? What's the trouble. Li Yuansan's face was puzzled.

"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, it turned out that the master who made mung bean cake in our store quit the store last month and went back to his hometown, this mung bean cake is his specialty, and the taste of others is not as good as his, and he didn't leave the recipe when he left, so what I sell in this store now is a mung bean cake made by a master who temporarily found it." When he mentioned this shopkeeper, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't take it seriously, isn't it just a mung bean cake, there are so many people who can do it, and it's not bad for this one." ”

"Uh-huh." Li Yuansan took a sip of tea and listened attentively.

"But who knows that the mung bean cake made by this new master is not liked by everyone at all, and some of the short-tempered guests even came to our store to scold, and the villain is also out of line, so whenever a guest wants to buy this mung bean cake, the villain must make it clear first, so as not to turn back and find trouble."

"Last month?" Xue Mingkai caught a time with the tip of his ear and frowned slightly.

"Yes, that's right, it was around mid-May when the master quit his job." The shopkeeper coldly heard the official who hadn't said a word since he entered the store, and was stunned for a moment before hurriedly replying.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Seeing him frowning and looking serious and solemn, Li Yuansan couldn't help but lean forward and whispered.

"Uncle Zhou has a problem." Xue Mingkai's eyes were heavy and he said expressionlessly.

Li Yuansan was stunned, blinked, and looked at him puzzled.

What's wrong with Uncle Zhou?
