Chapter 489: The Chef with the Beard and the Couple Who Stayed on the Lake for a Short Time
With so many workers and guests, it was unrealistic to starve at noon, so when the aunts came to the kitchen, the middle-aged chef was already cooking there. This chef is different from everyone's impression, the average chef is dressed in white and hat, his face and hands are full, and he looks shiny.
But this one, the skin is like a withered skin, and the sideburns around the lips are full of beards, which are tangled together and somewhat uncomfortable to look at. He was wearing an ordinary lounge suit, washed and somewhat discolored, and a pair of white shoes on his feet, which were the only color on his body that looked clean.
However, it is worth noting that the chef's hands are very delicate, the fingertips are like onions, the palms are slender, and there are not many folds even at the joints. It is an incomprehensible thing for a rough man with a scruffy beard to have such a pair of delicate, woman-like hands.
Maybe it was because of the urgency of time, he fried and fried very quickly, and after a while, the fresh ingredients that the aunt put on the table turned into pots of steaming dishes, and the aunt, who was cleaning the ground in the small warehouse behind the stove, poked her head out to take a look, and asked the chef: "Xiao Yan, where did you go just now?" Lao Nuo said that he couldn't find you. ”
"I was a little uncomfortable, slept in the room for a while and overslept."
"But Lao Nuo said that he went to your room, and there was no answer after knocking on the door for a long time, are you really sleeping?"
"What's the point of lying about this kind of thing? I can't swim or row, and there's only one place here, where can I run! The cook said to the aunt, who was a little unhappy with the doubts she expressed.
Auntie quickly retracted her head and muttered: "That's right, you have always been like this, elusive, except for cooking, I can hardly see you, and it is normal for Lao Nuo to not find you." ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Auntie's words, but she didn't hear the cook's ears outside, because he was pouring a large plate of sliced fish into the pan and making a loud frying sound.
When the frying subsided, the cook shouted to the back of the kitchen, "Wait a minute, don't forget to mop the floor around the stove, it's too damp." ”
"Got it." Immediately, there was an aunt's response from inside.
The black ponytail hairs scattered on the ground had to be collected and cleaned little by little, which was already a very heavy job. The aunts were already busy and a little irritable, so they only agreed verbally, as for whether they had time to do it later? That's another story, and that's going to be said later.
The kitchen is finally back to normal now, but is it a human head that Yun Ye Yao saw in the morning? It's still like Xie Yunmeng said, it's just that he was wrong, and this matter became unpredictable due to the appearance of a black shadow in the kitchen later.
——
Kang Chen watched Lao Nuo leave, and quickly entered the warehouse by himself, the warehouse next to the board room was relatively large, Kang Chen climbed into the large box full of goods, and jumped out of the window without hesitation. The space behind the warehouse is perfectly blocked by the houses that are connected together, and no one will see him.
Kang Chen is a good swimmer and diver, and once his body is below the surface of the lake, he quickly swims towards the set goal like a fish that has escaped from its shackles. As agreed, Cannes was to head to the back of the inn and take a look at the bottom of the lake directly below the kitchen.
It was close to noon, just ten minutes after Kang Chen and Lao Nuo broke up, Kang Chen should have already dived into the depths of the lake.
At this time, on a certain lake east of Bifang Island, two people with only their heads exposed, hugged each other tightly, and it was not certain whether these two people were men or women. After a while, one of them pushed the other half away slightly, and it became clear to us that she had a beautiful face, while the other was clearly a rough man.
The location of the two men was a certain distance away from Bifang Island, and the wind on the lake was strong, so it was difficult to hear what they were talking about.
They didn't talk for long, and at the end the man kissed his beloved fiercely, and a fierce man plunged below the surface of the lake, and the woman quickly disappeared from the lake.
There are a few time points that need to be explained here, first, around nine o'clock in the morning, when Yun Ye got up, Xie Yunmeng had already been to the kitchen and bathroom, and he didn't see anyone at that time, not even the waiter in the hotel. Second, Yun Yeyao had breakfast, and it wouldn't take a long time to talk to Xie Yunmeng, at most ten minutes.
So when Yun Yeyao saw something like a dead man's head in the kitchen, as well as those black hairs, it should have been around half past nine in the morning, and at this point in time, there was still no one in the kitchen and bathroom. Third, Yun Yeyao screamed, and Xie Yunmeng was the only one who was attracted, and the mysterious black shadow that dived to the bottom of the lake was also in the kitchen at this time, so he should know the dialogue and actions of the two criminal police actors clearly.
The Black Shadow had entered the kitchen before the night, and that was for sure, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to avoid Mr. Actor's gaze perfectly. Fourth, after the two outsiders were gone, the shadow took something from the kitchen warehouse and dived to the bottom of the lake to discard it. It shouldn't have been 10 o'clock in the morning.
At the same time, outside the hotel, Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng decided to take a look at those heavy lantern umbrellas, but they heard a quarrel in front of the door of the board room. The two of them hid between the board room and the walls of the large warehouse outside to eavesdrop, causing Lao Nuo in the warehouse to discover them. Lao Nuo didn't say hello immediately, but accompanied the two of them to eavesdrop together.
Regardless of what Lao Nuo's purpose is? To be sure, he must be looking for the right opportunity, and the two of them outside are also a reason to quarrel. Fifth, Yun Yeyao was just about to open his mouth to say his guess about the two sides of the quarrel, but Lao Nuo interrupted him in time, explaining that Lao Nuo at least didn't want Xie Yunmeng to know what his companion had guessed, and was afraid that Xie Yunmeng would investigate deeply.
In other words, this matter is not as simple as it seems, it is limited to the question of understanding or not understanding, and it should also involve some ulterior secrets.
Lao Nuo's conversation with Yun Yeyao is actually implying that the other party is keeping it secret for Kang Chen and Xiaoju, which Yun Yeyao will definitely do, because everyone has their own unspeakable secrets, and some things can be more tolerant and less influential for the other party, why do you want to say it in such detail everywhere? Besides, Xie Yunmeng would soon put the quarrel behind him, and there was no need for Yun Yeyao to mention it again.
But is that really the case? Kang Chen was not in the board room at the time, but in the warehouse with Lao Nuo, so there was no Kang Chen between the two sides of the quarrel. It was Lao Nuo who misled the criminal police and the actors, and after a few people dispersed and left, the quarrel stopped immediately, which was enough to prove this.
Regardless of who is hiding in the room on the second floor of the board room? Let's move on to the next point in time, sixth, Kang Chen returned to the inn between 10 and 10:30 in the morning, he wanted to enter the kitchen, but was attracted by the sound of the bed knocking in the fourth room upstairs.
Why should the patient change the rhythm of the percussion? Why did Kang Chen only knock on the door and not enter? These two points are very important. At the same time as knocking on the door, Kang Chen heard the sound of footsteps and people falling to the ground in a certain guest room next door, Kang Chen knew the man in this room, because this person was not easy to mess with, so Kang Chen pretended not to hear it, and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Kang Chen had been on the second floor of the hotel for a total of seven or eight minutes, plus two minutes into the kitchen, and when he left the hotel, it should not have been half past ten. Seventh, within five or six minutes of Kang Chen's knock on the door, that is, at the same time that he heard a sound from the next room, a man quietly opened the window and jumped into the lake from the second floor of the hotel.
The man was not long away and soon returned to his room. What did he do? No one knows, but one thing can guess that this man is quite good at swimming, and it is quite possible that it is not a guest, but someone who lives on the island. Eighth, even if the second time Kang Chen and Lao Nuo met was around 10:30 in the morning, then one of them went to the board room to ask someone to clean the room, and the other was sent by the tribe to dive into the bottom of the lake to check.
From the analysis of Lao Nuo's actions, first of all, since he can let the aunts clean up the kitchen, it proves that he does not know what homicide happened in the kitchen, otherwise, all the aunts on this island are accomplices, this possibility is very small, and the risk is too great, so we don't have to consider it.
Secondly, he asked Kang Chen to dive to the bottom of the lake to check, which proved that he guessed that someone might be hiding from them and throwing something at the bottom of the lake, which was likely to affect Lao Nuo's life or the existence of the artificial island.
Finally, it is the time point after Kang Chen dives to the bottom of the lake, that is, after half past ten in the morning. According to previous calculations, the mysterious men and women hugging on the lake should appear and disappear between 10:40 and 11 a.m.
Next, let's continue to expand the plot and see what else happened around the hotel and Bifang Island on this morning.
——
After the man and woman on the lake disappeared, they were in a room on the second floor of the hotel.
The drenched man was moving around the room, his face showing no emotion, his wet hair covering his forehead, even his eyes blocked, and water dripping from the hem of his hair and clothes to the floor, making a mess in the room.
The man didn't care, he picked up a dry rag and wiped the surface of the chair he was about to sit on a few times, threw the rag to the ground, closed the window as it was, then changed out of his soaked clothes and pants, sat down in front of the mirror and began to blow his hair with a hair dryer.
It didn't matter what the room became, someone would come and clean it up afterwards, and even if the man found out that he had snuck out, he wouldn't tell anyone. The most important thing now is that he himself should return to his original state as soon as possible, and not let anyone except his companions see the clues.
And the fact that he had to be a good swimmer was as important to him as it was to the other.
After drying all his hair, the man hid the rectangular object on the table and the hair dryer in his travel bag, then rubbed his hand lightly on his hair, and after a minute or two, he put his fingers to the tip of his nose and sniffed to make sure that he didn't smell fishy, and then pushed open the door and walked out.
When he went out, he didn't forget to observe the soles of his feet for fish scales and aquatic plants, so as not to unknowingly leave evidence.
