Chapter 20: Abduction of a client
The setting sun dyes the kitchen a wheat color, like freshly baked biscuits, and it feels sweet to look at.
The rising steam adds a magical touch to the kitchen, and the afterimage of Blanc moving quickly in the kitchen is even more dazzling.
Blank, who was busy in the kitchen, didn't notice Xiang Chen Liuling standing at the door at all, she was looking at everything in front of her in a daze.
It was the first time she had seen Blank cooking in the kitchen, and the inhuman speed convinced her that this guy was no ordinary person!
"Ahh Miss, what's wrong with you coming down? Are you hungry? Still thirsty? If you need anything, call me fine, what if I catch a cold again? After Blanc finished the work in hand, he suddenly felt that there were eyes staring at him behind him, and suddenly turned around to find that it was Xiang Chen Liuling, and the cold expression on his face immediately softened.
"No, no, no, I ...... I'm not because of this, I suddenly thought of ......" Xiang Chen Liuling said this, suddenly turned around like a thief and looked at it, jumped into the kitchen and closed the door, followed to Blank, tilted his head and whispered:
"Actually, I'm thinking, how did Wu Qian's father die? When did you die? ”
Because he was too close, the smell of the fragrance on Xiang Chen Liuling's body poured into Blank's nose, and he raised his eyebrows, leaning back imperceptibly, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"What does Miss mean...... Do you want to crack this event? ”
"Huh? Cracking events? Isn't this supposed to be done by the police? I'm just curious. ”
"Don't you want the arrow of truth?" Blanc leaned forward slightly, the corners of his mouth raised, and his expression was much richer than usual, but it looked a little playful.
"Of course I want to!" Xiang Chen Liuling stomped his feet and said, then he was stunned and came back to his senses: "What do you mean is that no matter whether someone entrusts it, and whether the police are involved in this incident or not, as long as I solve this incident first?" But, no, didn't anyone entrust me with that incident on the train before? ”
Blank frowned slightly, like a teacher who hates iron and steel looking at a stupid student: "Miss, can you recall the incident of the train before, did I take the initiative to propose that you solve this incident at that time, and then the police entrusted you to solve it before you arrived at the station?" What's more, after solving it, it was found that Dustin was playing tricks, which was tantamount to a bet. ”
"Oh...... That's right...... You say that, tsk. Wait, that is, unless it's another bet this time, we still need a client? Xiang Chen Liuling showed a sad expression, why is this Xiang family making the rules so complicated? Sincerity doesn't make people feel better, does it!?
Hum! Don't let me run into this designer, if I do, I'll eat Haibian first! Xiang Chenliu thought angrily, and then muttered, "This...... Who do we ask to entrust us? ”
"Miss, the bitter master is in our house, what other client do you want to find?" Blank couldn't laugh or cry.
"Uh, you mean Wu Qian? Actually, I haven't thought about it, but people don't have a father, so let's talk about this, I'm afraid, right? Xiang Chen Liuling bit his lip in embarrassment.
"The opportunity is in front of us, it just depends on whether the young lady is willing to reach out and take it. Although Miss is a good heart, but sometimes, good intentions may not be able to do good things. Now is the time for the young lady to accumulate fame, and this opportunity is hard to come by. "Blank is a good one.
Chen Liuling didn't know the truth in her words, but she always felt that this kind of behavior was suspected of taking advantage of others. He lowered his head and hesitantly picked up the corners of his skirt on tiptoe, as if there was an answer under the corners of his skirt.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle broke the silence, and Blanc hurriedly said, "Miss, the dish is ready, I'll miss it first." Instead, you can consider talking to Wu Qian at the dinner table. ”
With that, Blank ran quickly to the stove, moving quickly and gracefully, like a ballet dancer who had mistakenly walked into the kitchen. Xiang Chen Liuling was fascinated for a while, then suddenly shook his head, and said secretly: Hell, is it time to appreciate men cooking?
"Blank, then you prepare first, I'll go and ask Wu Qian to come out for dinner."
hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and came to the door of Wu Qian's room, knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered the door.
Xiang Chenliu casually pressed the doorknob, but the door was unlocked, and Wu Qian was not in the room.
Could it be that Wu Qian rushed home because of her father's death? But the luggage and everything are still in the room, and even the small bag that I usually bring when I go out is still lying on the bed safely.
Scare! Shouldn't it be because I can't accept the news of my father's death for a while, so I'm looking for a short meeting!? At this time, Xiang Chen Liuling's mind was full of unfortunate thoughts.
"Wu Qian! Wu Qian! Xiang Chen Liuling shouted and ran into the courtyard.
"Miss Xiang, are you looking for me?"
Looking back, Wu Qian was coming out of the backyard, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and the basket was full of clothes to dry.
"Supper is ready, I went to call you, but you weren't there. Didn't I let you get a good rest? Why are you busy again? Xiang Chen Liuling stepped forward to grab the basket in Wu Qian's hand.
Wu Qian hurriedly let go of her outstretched hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched and said, "I saw the wind outside, and I was afraid that if it rained again, these clothes would be washed in vain." So, I hurried out to collect my clothes. Also, when I'm busy with things on my hands, I don't think much of my dad......"
As she spoke, Wu Qian sniffled, tears welling up in her eyes. Xiang Chen Liuling didn't want to say anything, so he went back to the house with her and helped her fold her clothes. Several times I wanted to ask her to entrust herself to investigate her father's affairs, but she didn't say it.
Not long after, Blank came to call the two to dinner, and at Xiang Chen Liuling's strong request, Wu Qian and Blank sat down with her to eat.
Under Blank's many hints, Xiang Chen Liuling finally couldn't help but ask:
"Wu Qian, that, do you want to know how your father died?"
Wu Qian was stunned, and shook her head with empty eyes.
"Don't you want to know at all? If you want to know, I can help you investigate. Of course, I don't take your money! It won't deduct your salary! Xiang Chen Liuling said eagerly.
Wu Qian looked at Xiang Chen Liuling puzzled: "Miss Xiang, this has nothing to do with money, it's just that even if I know how my dad died, he can't come back to life, so where is this consciousness that I don't know?" ”
"This ......" Xiang Chen Liuling scratched his ears and cheeks when he was asked, and he didn't even know how to answer for a while.
Blanc on the side covered his mouth with a napkin and coughed dryly, forced down the embarrassed smile he saw her, and then stood up and said.
"Indeed, the truth will not bring your father back to life, but it will give peace to the living and the rest of the dead. Heaven is clear, isn't that exactly the case. Moreover, when I went to ask for medicine today, she told me that it was up to Miss to find out the truth of the matter, otherwise your father's spirit would keep haunting Miss and make her sick for the rest of her life. Are you willing to watch Miss suffer from a lifetime of illness like this? ”
