The Secret Past (3)
"It'll be right away." Xiao Se said and got busy again, opened the lid of the pot, added salt and chicken essence to taste, and added diced cucumbers and chopped green onions when the pot started. The last process is to cook the noodles, and Senator Ye got up early in the morning to roll the noodles by hand. After boiling the noodles, put them in a large basin, and then add the noodles. While he was doing all this, Senator Ye and I stood silently behind him.
I was in a trance for a moment, and when I settled down, I saw the light in Xiao Se's eyes flickering. "It's time to eat."
In front of Senator Ye, I couldn't be angry with him anymore, so I only asked lightly: "What about Mu Mian?" ”
"Mu Mian went to investigate an important matter." Xiao Se put on a smiling face, "She can't catch up, we'll eat by ourselves." ”
I hate his smile like this, the evil feeling that there is a knife hidden in his smile.
The three of us went to the dinner table together, and Xiao Se sat across from me, and I lowered my head and did not look at him or speak to him.
Senator Ye, with his usual silence, only glanced at me, and then buried his head in eating noodles.
After a while, Xiao Se opened his mouth and asked, "Is the lo mein delicious?" ”
I looked up, and the smile was still on his lips with a hateful smile.
"It tastes good, it's improved a lot." Senator Ye gave an evaluation first.
"What do you think?" Xiao Se chased after me for answers.
I was silent.
Senator Ye looked at us with a strange look, his eyes fell on me, and he pointed at Xiao Se with the chopsticks in his hand. "This kid is easy to mess up, but his essence is not bad."
I looked at Senator Ye in amazement, wondering why he was talking to me about this, hasn't he always been kind to Xiao Se? Looking at Xiao Se again, he was a little stunned, his face was no longer smiling, and he looked preoccupied.
There was an awkward moment of silence at the dinner table, and then Xiao Se cleared his throat. "As I said before, there are some big discoveries that you should be interested in."
"What discovery?" I asked eagerly. This topic somewhat eases the awkward atmosphere.
Mu Mian said that blood stains were found on the batik handkerchief I provided, and the blood type matched Ye Kaitai's. Sodium sulfate was also detected on the handkerchief. Xiao Se was a little proud, "As I guessed before, sodium sulfate is a dye from batik. The person who killed Ye Kaitai probably attacked him from behind, and then covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, causing him to suffocate to death. ”
"That murderer is definitely not Yu Zhaoxia, she doesn't have such ability." I remembered what Mu Mian said, Yu Zhaoxia's emotional history is quite complicated, "That handkerchief is probably not Ye Kaitai's, but it should also be dyed by Yu Zhaoxia herself, did she give the same handkerchief to other men?" ”
Xiao Se nodded. "You got to the point, that man is likely to be the real murderer of Ye Kaitai."
"But...... What does this have to do with Ye Zihan? "I wondered.
Xiao Se looked at me strangely. "Why do you say it has something to do with Ye Zihan?"
"Mu Mian ......" I was shocked to say that I had leaked my mouth, and I suddenly stopped talking.
However, Senator Ye has keenly grasped the message. "Did Mu Mian let you trick me?"
I shook my head in a hurry. "No, it's not."
Senator Ye stopped talking, but his face was full of anger.
"It really wasn't Mu Mian who asked me to come." I tried my best to maintain my sleep, but my hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly due to the nervousness and confusion in my heart.
"Oh, do you suspect that Ye Zihan avenged her sister?" Xiao Se interjected, he must have heard the truth about Ye Yanfang's suicide that Senator Ye told me just now, "Ye Zihan, like Yu Zhaoxia, doesn't have that kind of strength. If you doubt, you should also suspect Ye Zheng. ”
"When is the time for retribution?" Senator Ye muttered, the anger on his face subsided, and his face was gloomy and desolate, "I don't believe that Ye Zheng will kill someone, besides, even if he wants to kill, he should kill that rapist." Ye Kaitai's Lao Tzu has been retributed and died, this matter has nothing to do with Ye Kaitai, Ye Zheng will not be so indistinguishable from wrong. ”
Xiao Se didn't say anything about Senator Ye's words, but asked me: "Your skin is sensitive and prone to allergies?" ”
"Why do you ask?" My doubts deepened.
"It makes sense for me to ask." Xiao Se didn't answer me.
I thought about it. "My skin is indeed sensitive, and I can't use cosmetics and skin care products casually, otherwise I will easily get red and itchy."
Xiao Se nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up. "I want to start things, so let's go first." He turned his head and strode out of the restaurant.
Senator Ye shouted: "You haven't finished eating your noodles yet." ”
However, Xiao Se has run away without a trace.
After I was stunned for a few seconds, I also put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and chased out, and I intuitively decided that Xiao Se's sudden departure must have something to do with the case.
I ran out of the door, just as I saw Xiao Se's figure flashing into the 99 houses. "Xiao Se—" I shouted.
He turned around and walked out the door towards me.
I ran to him out of breath. "Who are you going to look for inside?"
Xiao Se put his hands in his pockets and looked at me with a smile. "Why do you care about me?"
"Did you make a new discovery, about the death of Ye Kaitai and Yu Zhaoxia?" I didn't have the heart to play tricks with him, so I lowered my voice and asked.
