Chapter Twenty-Five: The White Nights Detective Agency
In fact, the Beibu Bay is already very lively in the evening, with two kilometers of circular lanes flanked by buildings built on the hills, and all kinds of small restaurants and hotels, which are the footholds that many residents of the old land will choose to settle for before entering the new city.
In the entire night market, spicy hot and barbecue occupy half of the country.
"Boss, let's have another 30 skewers of beef, two tendons, and a plate of roasted tofu, all spicy, the hotter the better!"
"Okay."
"Boss, I want 50 strings of beef tenderloin, one tendon, one gluten, and two plates of cowboy bones, and try the black pepper flavor ...... today"
"Gotcha."
“...... One beef rib, two grilled steaks, one beef tongue, I'll have another grilled vegetables on the fire today, add more spicy! ”
As soon as you reach the middle section, you can already hear the sound of diners ordering food loudly, and the night market in the old land of Jingchu City drives away the cold and cool brought by the continuous rain with the noisy voices.
It gets dark early, the neon lights are staggered, and one of the square light boxes has a huge number of words written in red on a white background 'Niu Yi Barbecue', flashing and flashing to reflect a fire-breathing bull's head, this rustic retro old signboard stands out in a crowd of alien black technology signs, the key is that the soil is very bright.
"Come on, sit down." The owner of the barbecue restaurant nodded at Captain Zhang with a toothpick in his mouth, and said with a smile: "You guys are lucky, I went to the ranch this morning to buy a batch of new goods, the meat is tender, and there are not many guests at this time, so I will give you a whole plate to taste first." ”
"Okay, let's get the signature loin and cowboy bones." Captain Zhang turned his head and asked, weighing nine catties, "Do you eat spicy?" ”
"Everything."
Weighing about nine pounds, this street with narrow roads and crowded buildings looks particularly vibrant under the smoke and fire.
The fresh beef sizzles over a charcoal fire, and the pulsating sparks and the delicious meat skewers complement each other in close and distant contact, creating a wonderful aroma.
Captain Zhang introduced: "The owner of this barbecue restaurant is my former comrade-in-arms, the first floor is the barbecue restaurant, the upstairs room he uses for rent, although there is some noise here at night, but it is better to be safe, the rent is fair, I said hello to him, you can move here at any time, just pay the rent according to the price of the low-rent house." ”
"Thank you, Captain Zhang."
When he looked up at the house, he noticed that there was another wooden sign hanging above the light box of the barbecue restaurant, 'White Night Detective Agency'.
"There's a detective agency here?"
"Hey, that's what he did." Captain Zhang raised his chin at the shopkeeper, picked up a string of beef tenderloin, and bit the thick meat into his mouth.
", how can I call this nonsense." The boss turned his head to the nine-pound chin and introduced himself, "Matthew, the president of the White Night Detective Agency." ”
The boss who stood in front of the stove and flipped the skewers in his hand was very tall and strong, looking to be in his early thirties, with a scar running from the right corner of his forehead through the brow bone to his cheek, wearing a black suit, with a toothpick in his mouth and a cigarette in his ear.
The scar did not destroy the handsome face, but reminded the male star in an action movie.
In the eyes of the nine-pound man, this is a bull demon king in a suit and a straight roast beef.
Not your average cow.
For the time being, the weight of nine catties that can't be retracted freely by the True Spirit Pupil has become numb after a day and a night of training, at least he won't show any unnatural expressions when he sees someone else holding a strange animal head.
Captain Zhang handed the dishes and chopsticks to the weight of nine catties, "Why do you want to be so engrossed?" ”
"Thinking about finding a part-time job."
Cow... Oh no... Matthew turned around and said, "Come to me, I'm just too busy to be alone." ”
"Is that okay?" When the drowsiness comes, someone hands the pillow, which is simply better.
"Of course you can, I heard Lao Zhang say that you originally planned to apply for the police academy or military academy, you have curiosity and a sense of justice, and you are exactly the talent I need here, if you are interested, you can come to work immediately."
Captain Zhang glared at Matthew several times in succession, but he obviously had no intention of retracting the invitation.
"As long as you're not tired..."
"I'm not afraid of getting tired."
Weighing nine pounds does not need a long time of sleep now, selling supper or continuous rotation affects sleep health for others, it is not a matter for her, and not sleeping for a few days and nights is also a matter of saving vitality in a different way.
It's a big deal, eat more.
"Try my craft, this sauce is my new concoction, and it is a must with beef tongue, while it is hot." The boss put the freshly grilled skewers and grilled beef tongue on the table, "That's it, how about starting work tomorrow?" ”
"No problem." Weighing nine pounds, he immediately agreed.
It was too late for Captain Zhang to stop him, so he leaned over and whispered, "What are you doing?" ”
"You slowly inspect you, just treat me as an intern here for a period of time, you also know that I lack an assistant, this is not right, I can still help you take care of it, save you from running to the hospital twice in three days, and those who don't know think you have a terminal illness."
The two whispered that they didn't care much about what Jiujin weighed, in her opinion, this detective agency might be used as a cover or even a channel to take on tasks, and Chongjiujin noticed that many tasks were related to her actual life when she refreshed the task list.
She walked around the hospital yesterday, which was enough for a day's system consumption, but it was still a little slow to earn psionic points by attracting necromancy, and it was not enough to buy good things in the mall.
With the detective agency as a cover, there may be more tasks that can be refreshed, and you can earn psionic points and make money.
At half past nine in the evening, the business of the barbecue restaurant has just begun to bustle, welcoming table after table of diners, and people who have been scattered all over the world during the day to rush for life return to the night market in the old place to soak up the familiar fireworks.
Weighing nine pounds, looking at the small table in front of the barbecue stall, there were all kinds of people sitting around, and the black and gold lines in his eyes flashed from time to time.
From time to time, a true spirit ghost will appear on the side of the figure in front of him, which is very confusing.
Weighing nine pounds, he blinked, pretending that he didn't see anything.
The sound of diners chatting was filled with my ears.
"Have you heard about the cases that have happened in our city in the past few days?"
"What case?"
"There are several young girls who have disappeared, and they have not been found, and they have not been seen alive or dead."
"You don't watch the news, seven girls have been reported missing in the past month and a half, and none of them have been found."
"Nowadays, even the door of the public toilet is pestled with a surveillance camera, and you can see clearly when you dig a nose on the balcony at home, how can you not find anyone?"
"This is the strange thing about this case, the most recent one disappeared in broad daylight, and I didn't find it."
Eating skewers, drinking wine, and accumulating what they had seen and heard all day, they quickly chatted, and the disappearance case that has attracted the most attention in the city recently has become a common topic among several tables of people.
"There is surveillance, but there are also things that can block surveillance, especially those aliens, the race is gone, who knows what is hidden under the human skin?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it won't work out in the end."
"It's not necessarily the aliens who did it, and there have been a lot of bad things to put on the heads of aliens over the years, especially in recent times, there are a lot of strange things."
