The three of them returned to the front of the board room, Yun Yeyao saw the huge dining table that had been set up at a glance, and immediately pulled Xie Yunmeng to run over, Xie Yunmeng was also at his mercy, and took advantage of the situation to stuff the other hand into his pocket.

Lao Nuo didn't notice Xie Yunmeng's action, because he was busy directing everyone to set up the chairs scattered around the dining table, and the matter of the corpse had always occupied Lao Nuo's mind, except for finding Kang Chen, Lao Nuo had no time to pay attention to any details.

Catching a busy worker, Lao Nuo asked him again: "Where did Kang Chen go?" ”

"Kang Chen? I don't know, I didn't see him. The worker's answer disappointed Lao Nuo again, he had no intention of eating, and after greeting the criminal police actor, he casually found a reason, and went back to the hotel, not forgetting to check the warehouses side by side on the way.

"Xiao Yao, don't you think this old man seems to be wrong?" Xie Yunmeng pushed Yun Yeyao and asked, Mr. Actor was greeting the middle-aged chef at the moment, and praised him for his 'meticulous' dishes.

Suddenly hearing Xie Yunmeng speak, he didn't hear what it was, Yun Yeyao turned around and asked, "Xiao Meng, what's wrong?" ”

"I said Uncle Li seemed to have something on his mind, and it didn't seem right." Xie Yunmeng repeated his thoughts, and Yun Yeyao immediately looked at Lao Nuo's back, but he didn't notice anything.

The middle-aged chef with a full face and beard spoke: "You are probably the criminal police gentleman, you are really sharp!" Lao Nuo sometimes looks like this, especially when he can't find Kang Chen. ”

"Is Kang Chen Xiao Chen?" Xie Yunmeng asked, and it was obvious that the middle-aged chef was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

After a few seconds, the chef spoke: "Xiao Chen is what we called Kang Chen in the past, he used to stay on Bifang Island for a period of time when he was young, not for long, and left soon, I remember that his brother and sister-in-law brought him here at that time, Lao Nuo and his brother and sister-in-law had a good relationship, so later Kang Chen encountered difficulties, and Lao Nuo also gladly accepted the matter of him coming back to work." ”

"What difficulties did Kang Chen encounter? Is that the one I investigated? It won't affect that much. ”

"What are you investigating? Could it be that Kang Chen broke the law outside? The chef was a little confused, so he looked at Xie Yunmeng.

Xie Yunmeng realized in her words that they didn't know about Kang Chen's affairs in the city, so he said vaguely: "It's not a serious matter, I'm just guessing." ”

"Then do you know what difficulties Kang Chen encountered to come to the island?" Yun Yeyao interjected and asked, he was very interested in the reason why Kang Chen came to the island.

"I don't know," the middle-aged chef pouted and said, "This matter is only known to Lao Nuo, he hasn't told us about it, it seems that there is some privacy involved." ”

"What about the oranges? What kind of person is Juju? Is she here? ”

While asking, Yun Yeyao looked around, wanting to see what Xiaoju looked like, but the answer was still no, the chef said: "Xiaoju is not here, she has not appeared since she quarreled with Kang Chen in the morning." I remember...... By the way, it seems that an aunt has seen Xiaoju, and we can go and ask her. ”

In fact, when Lao Nuo and Kang Chen knew that the things in the kitchen had been touched, they planned to let Xiaoju and her aunt go to the kitchen to clean up, and then pretended to accidentally meet the criminal police and actors to let them know. However, Lao Nuo did not find Xiaoju at all, and in the time after the quarrel, everyone on Bifang Island did not see Xiaoju appear.

After the cook finished speaking, he turned back to look for the aunt he mentioned in the crowd, and soon found his target, and following the direction of his finger, a woman in an apron who was bending over to fiddle with something appeared to them.

The woman was broad, not fat or thin, probably in her forties, with her hair tied tightly behind her head and a little greasy and damp. In both hands, he held a plate full of small pieces of food.

When the three of them approached, they heard a low meow of a kitten, and it turned out that the woman was feeding a few kittens, and the plate in her hand was filled with fresh fish cut into small pieces.

For this kind of conversation, Yun Yeyao is the best, so Xie Yunmeng and the chef stood in the back as bystanders. Yun Yeyao ran up and asked, "What a cute little kitten, where is the female cat?" ”

When the aunt heard the voice, she turned her head and happened to meet Yan Rushunying's face, and was immediately attracted, her eyes stayed on Yun Yeyao's face for a while, and she didn't answer the question, but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" ”

"Uh... Thank you. Yun Yeyao replied a little embarrassed, shook her hand in front of her aunt's eyes, and asked, "Auntie, what do I call you?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, my surname is Tao, the Tao of ceramics."

Aunt Tao straightened up, and several little milk cats immediately rushed under the table, maybe they hadn't learned to accept strangers yet, Yun Yeyao didn't even see their appearance clearly, and they disappeared.

Aunt Tao is about one meter six tall at most, standing up straight just to Yun Yeyao's shoulder, after the two of them exchanged a few words, the chef asked Aunt Tao, "Did you see Xiaoju at noon?" ”

"Do you mean after you finish frying and leave? Nope! I only saw Xiao Chen. ”

"Now Lao Nuo is looking for Xiao Chen, and Xiao Ju hasn't appeared for a long time, I thought you saw her?" The chef said with some disappointment.

"No, I saw Xiao Chen coming out of the hotel room just now, he looked very strange, the back of his pants was wet, and he didn't change it, when I wanted to help him, he looked very scared, Xiao Chen had never been like this before, he was always generous. And you, what kind of medicine did you two take wrong today, and you were mysterious in the morning? ”

Without waiting for the middle-aged chef to answer, Xie Yunmeng suddenly interjected and said, "Aunt Tao, let me ask you, what is Xiao Chen's personality like?" ”

"This ......" is a simple question, but Aunt Tao didn't answer it immediately, she seems to think that Xie Yunmeng is a little redundant to ask this question, so she looks at Mr. Criminal Police strangely.

The chef said: "What kind of character can Xiao Chen have, he is just that kind of rude look!" You probably heard them arguing in the morning, and Xiaoju is really uncomfortable following him. After saying that, the chef beckoned a few people to sit down to eat, and the others were already filling their stomachs at the moment, but the three of them were still standing and talking.

Yun Yeyao doesn't like to eat fish very much, but it's okay for shrimp and other shelled animals, fortunately, what is placed in front of him is a large pot of stir-fried river shrimp, as well as fresh vegetarian dishes, Yun Yeyao doesn't have to stand up and go to the distance to pick up vegetables.

While pulling rice into his mouth, he secretly asked Xie Yunmeng: "Xiao Meng, what did you do when you mentioned Xiao Chen's character?" ”

"I always feel that something is wrong, especially Lao Nuo and Kang Chen, let's talk about it later, you can also observe them carefully. And I just took something from the dock and showed it to you after eating, and it has something to do with the things in the kitchen. ”

"Is that the ponytail hair I saw?" Yun Yeyao immediately asked: "I think the scene in the kitchen in the morning is not so simple, you don't believe it!" ”

"Anyway, let's talk about it later, everyone is watching us." Xie Yunmeng said.

Yun Yeyao suddenly smiled slyly and said, "That's because they were attracted by your tall and handsome image, and it has nothing to do with anything else." ”

"Don't joke......" As soon as Xie Yunmeng finished saying these four words, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "Speaking of image, you can use it, Xiao Yao, I think you can be an 'aunt killer', haha." ”

“…… You're going too far, Xiao Meng, you want to use me to trick a middle-aged woman to satisfy your curiosity, right? Yun Yeyao saw through his mind at a glance, pretended to take a big mouthful of food into his mouth, and said: "I don't do it, and there is no real homicide, and the criminal police can't explore other people's privacy." ”

"Okay, I'll stop talking, hurry up and eat." Xie Yunmeng put down the last sentence, stopped speaking, and began to eat seriously.

The interaction between the two of them was naturally not too obvious, and the chef and Aunt Tao sitting next to them only occasionally turned their heads to look at them, and the rest of the time they were talking to others.

When the meal was all eaten and several aunts began to collect the meals, they had not yet seen Lao Nuo coming from the hotel, and Kang Chen and Xiaoju did not appear, Aunt Tao said to the cook, you are okay anyway, go over and have a look, and bring these meals to them by the way. ”

As she spoke, Aunt Tao put the dishes that had not been touched into a large soup basin, filled a soup pot full of rice, and asked the chef to bring it to the hotel.
