Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Mysterious Death

Business was still good in the morning, and when business was booming, a wave of police broke in.

Lin Xiaoshang, who was in the back kitchen, was still preparing a new dish, so he was hurriedly called out by Xiao Li.

"Store manager, no, the police suddenly came, and they said they wanted to see you by name."

As soon as he heard Xiao Li say this, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately put down the work at hand.

"Want to see me?"

"Uh-huh, that's right. Go check it out, a lot of the guests have been scared away. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled, but he hurriedly walked to the front desk.

Sure enough, as Xiao Li said, a few policemen came to the restaurant. Dressed in uniforms, they stood in the middle of the restaurant, leaving many of the diners who were about to walk in fear.

Since he was a child, Lin Xiaoxiao has never negotiated with the police.

So at this time, the timidity in Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was inevitable, but since she was coming to her, she had to bump into the courage to meet her.

"Hello, I'll just say Lin Xiaoxiao, may I ask...... Is there something going on. ”

The policemen showed their IDs: "Hello, did an old man named Xu Tairong come here yesterday?" We suspect that you may be involved in the case of his death, so we hope that you will assist us in our investigation. ”

As soon as he heard about the death case, Lin Xiaoxiao's legs suddenly weakened. But no matter how she racked her brains to think, she never remembered that she knew an old man named Xu Tairong.

"Good. I will definitely cooperate. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and continued: "However, I really don't remember that I know an old man named Xu Tairong. ”

Hearing this, the police took out Xu Tairong's photo and handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao: "It's this old man, do you have any impression." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao took the photo and took a cursory glance, and the tears immediately remained.

It was still the familiar white beard and kind face, which made Lin Xiaoxiao feel panicked.

This old man, she has just become acquainted, where will she forget. Obviously, just yesterday, the old man made an appointment with her to come to the restaurant often in the future, why did she suddenly have such a change......

Lin Xiaoxiao finally stabilized her mind, her eyes were red, and her voice could not hide the pain: "I know him." ”

"Okay." The police took back the photo and said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Can you go with us to the police station to make a record, he was found dead at home today, and it was preliminarily judged to be a suicide, but there are still some doubts that need to be solved." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in a trance: "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation." ”

At this time, she still couldn't believe that this old man would leave so suddenly.

After Lin Xiaoxiao left with the police, Xiao Li, who stayed in the restaurant, immediately panicked. If there is no chef and manager in the restaurant, there is no backbone.

The key is that Lin Xiaoxiao was still called by the police to assist in the investigation, who knows what will happen next.

Xiao Li was in a hurry, but he couldn't find a clue.

Suddenly, Xiao Li remembered Lu Hongshen. In this case, probably only Lu Hongshen can really keep Lin Xiaoxiao.

……

After arriving at the police station, Lin Xiaoxiao still felt like he had lost his soul.

"Miss Lin, don't be nervous. We just want to ask you a few questions to find out Mr. Xu's whereabouts, and in order to solve the case faster, please answer our questions truthfully. ”

"yes, okay." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded stunnedly, and tears involuntarily remained.

This sense of separation from the heavens and the earth was felt by her again.

The police asked Lin Xiaoxiao when he met the old man Xu, when did the old man Xu go to the restaurant yesterday, and when did he leave, so they let Lin Xiaoxiao leave.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the chair and said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Policeman, I hope you can find out the truth, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao was already crying again.

"Rest assured, it's our job."

After leaving the police station, as soon as Lin Xiaoxiao walked out of the door, she saw Lu Hongshen standing at the door waiting for her.

In an instant, the defense line in Lin Xiaoxiao's heart collapsed in an instant.

She ran to Lu Hongshen, and subconsciously cried in Lu Hongshen's arms.

Lu Hongshen did not push Lin Xiaoxiao away, but after hugging her, he gently patted her on the back, quite comforting: "What's wrong, what's going on, is someone bullying you." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao shook his head, and cried even more in Lu Hongshen's arms.

"No, no, just ......"

It's just that I'm really sad now.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say the rest of the words, she just couldn't stop letting tears flow down in Lu Hongshen's arms.

If she knew that today was the separation, how she wished that time could be suspended until yesterday.

Lu Hongshen didn't speak, just patted Lin Xiaoxiao's back again and again.

"It's over, it's all gone."

After leaving the police station, Lu Hongshen's original intention was to let Lin Xiaoxiao rest for a day, but Lin Xiaoxiao insisted on returning to the restaurant.

Sitting in the sports car, Lu Hongshen's other hand naturally held Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao's hands were cold, and his palms were still in a cold sweat. As if feeling the sudden warmth, Lin Xiaoxiao's fingers curled up involuntarily.

Fortunately, Lu Hongshen is here, otherwise, she is just alone and she doesn't know how far her liver and intestines will be broken.

Since the old man gave her the recipe before he died, she couldn't show her timidity, and she had the obligation to carry the recipe forward.

As soon as he saw Lin Xiaoxiao walking into the restaurant, Xiao Li, who had been worried all day, immediately greeted him: "How is it, is the situation okay?" Did they make it difficult for you? ”

Lin Xiaoxiao shook his head and looked extremely weak on the table.

"Xiao Li, you said, ordinary people are impermanent, how could this kind of thing happen all of a sudden. Obviously yesterday...... Yesterday ......"

As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, tears flowed involuntarily again.

Xiao Li patted Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder: "Xiaoxiao, you are uncomfortable, we all know it." But now that everything has happened, we can only continue to look forward. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Li couldn't help but get up: "Besides, maybe, the old man is still watching you from the sky." If you're overly sad, the old man won't be happy......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Li also wiped the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Both of them are girls, and their minds are already delicate, and when they suddenly encounter this kind of thing, they are naturally very sad.

All afternoon, the two of them didn't have much thought about work, but fortunately, there were not too many people who came to eat this afternoon, and the two of them didn't make any mistakes.

After finally calming down, Lin Xiaoxiao sat by the window and looked out of the window blankly, feeling full of emotions for a while.

Some people leave and never come back.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Xiaoxiao's tears flowed down again.
