Chapter 40: A Dinner
Cheng Jiaxuan's home is very warmly decorated, a house with three sets. His wife is a nurse, she looks very gentle, with a smile on her face, and when everyone arrives, she asks Yuanyuan to serve tea and water to everyone. Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite, by the way, let me introduce you, this is a new addition to our team, called Bai Yifan." ”
Bai Yifan also shouted, "Hello sister-in-law." ”
Cheng Jiaxuan's wife smiled, "I heard our old Cheng mention you, but it's amazing." Then you sit down first, and do what you want to eat and drink, and I'll cook. ”
Han Yu and Ye Xiaoxiao made a color, she naturally understood, and followed into the kitchen, Cheng Jiaxuan's wife looked at her in surprise, thinking that she had something wrong, and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, don't I know how to cook, come and learn from you, and by the way, I can give you a start." Ye Xiaoxiao's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
Cheng Jiaxuan's wife didn't ask much, she really thought that Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted to learn to cook, so she explained to her when cooking, but Ye Xiaoxiao didn't listen much at all, she was all about observing where the oil stains would splash when cooking.
After a meal, everyone ate very happily, only Ye Xiaoxiao's heart was very heavy. When she was in the kitchen, she observed very carefully that when a person was cooking, oil stains might splash on her body or arms, but they were all very sporadic oil stains. Cheng Gang's kitchen is not much different except for the stove and pots and pans that are larger than those at home, not to mention that the kitchen of the Chinese restaurant is so big, he will not stick to the stove to cook at all.
So, it must not be the oil stains from cooking that lead the fire to him, so what is it? After Ye Xiaoxiao left, he told several other people about the situation, and they didn't understand that it was getting late, and Han Yu asked everyone to go home separately and discuss it in the team the next day.
Han Yu didn't go back, he had a habit that every time the case was not solved, he hardly slept much. So over the years, his dark circles are very heavy. He originally planned to go to Ye Youchen, but no one answered his phone call, Ye Youchen bought his own house in Linhua not long ago, a small set, which is very small compared to his family, but it is very suitable for him to live alone. When he bought a house, Han Yu also made fun of him, saying that he would rather spend a lot of money to buy a house in order not to be urged to marry by his family. Ye Youchen insisted that he was an investment, and maybe there would be high returns in the future.
Ye Youchen's newly bought house was very close to where Han Yu lived, Han Yu thought about it, and simply went directly to Ye Youchen's house to find him, if he wasn't there, then go back to his own home. In the dead of night, there is almost no one on the road, and the street lamps on both sides emit dim lights, creating a sense of horror that chills in the background. When I was about to arrive at Ye Youchen's house, there were a few young people on the side of the road, who looked drunk and couldn't walk steadily, and there was a girl in the middle, wearing black torn stockings and heavy makeup. This girl looked very familiar, but Han Yu couldn't remember who it was, he had never been a nosy person, he glanced at a few young people, only to see them supporting each other, staggering, and walking to the other side.
When he arrived at Ye Youchen's house, Han Yu only knocked on the door, and the door opened. Ye Youchen was wearing pajamas and a mask on his face, Han Yu was startled, and then entered the room and asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone, you changed sex?" ”
Ye Youchen smoothed his mask with his hand and said, "What kind of transsexuality?" I just took a shower, and my phone was outside, and I was about to call you back. ”
"Why do you think of wearing a mask? I think you don't seem to be very particular about that. ”
"It's not because of Ye Xiaoxiao's woman, you said that Ye Xiaoxiao of your team is not bad, why is his temper so short-tempered."
Han Yu naturally poured water for himself, smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Did she mess with you?" ”
Ye Youchen sat on the sofa, looked at Han Yu and said, "I met her on Huaihua Road a few days ago, I met her and said hello to her, she was good, just push me away, and said that I became ugly." ”
"Well, that's it?" Han Yu and Ye Youchen grew up together, so they naturally knew that Ye Youchen cherished his appearance very much. Han Yu is the kind of straight man who has a delicate life, but it is also a basic care for his appearance. At least unlike Ye Youchen, you have to wear sunscreen when you go out. In comparison, even if Han Yu often stays up late and eats irregularly, he is in a very good state, which makes Ye Youchen envious.
"It's important to me, okay." Ye Youchen rolled his eyes, "By the way, have you been investigating the case of the fire on Huaihua Road recently?" ”
"Hmm." It is not difficult for Ye Youchen to know, the fire in the Chinese restaurant is on the news in Linhua City, plus everyone has been discussing this matter recently, and he and Ye Xiaoxiao met over there again, so Han Yu no longer concealed it, "However, isn't the place where you work in the city center, what are you doing on Huaihua Road?" ”
Ye Youchen pretended to sigh, "Life is not easy, I also have to come to work." As you know, Huaihua Road belongs to the old street, and many locals in Linhua City have now moved to the bustling area, and the houses there are rented to people who come to work. But there are still some old people who are nostalgic and unwilling to move, so they live there. Not long ago, a client came to me, it was an old man, saying that his children were divorced, and his granddaughter was depressed and couldn't come out of the room all day, so I went to see it. ”
Han Yu looked disbelieving, although Ye Youchen is usually quite kind, he opened a psychological counseling room to make money. Ye Youchen looked at Han Yu's eyes and said helplessly, "Do I have such a black heart?" The money will definitely be collected, but I gave the old man a discount. ”
Han Yu doesn't ask anymore, he has always been reluctant to meddle in things, and he doesn't take the initiative to ask about other people's affairs. Ye Youchen knew him very well, and it was estimated that he only cared about the case, so he continued to speak on his own, "But seriously, the old man's granddaughter is really strange." ”
"What's wrong?"
"When the old man first came to me, he was dressed very plainly, I thought that their family's economic conditions must be very average, and they didn't want to take this case, but the old man kept pleading, and I agreed. After her father divorced, he bought a house in the city center not long ago, and wanted to take her over and let her transfer to another school, but the girl refused to agree. The old man told me that the girl was depressed, and that the girl was at home the day I went. Ye Youchen spoke very happily, without panting at all, "Later, the girl saw the old man go out, so she told me that the reason why she didn't come out in the room all day was because his father was getting married, and his stepmother asked to take her alone, not the old man." If she leaves, the old man will be left alone in the old house on Huaihua Road. ”
"It's quite filial."
"Yes, I have no choice but to tell the old man about the situation. As a result, the old man couldn't cry, so I persuaded him for a long time. ”
"So, did the girl move or not?"
"Of course not, I went to the girl's parents and told me about the situation, anyway, the process was very difficult, but the ending was not bad. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've done anything like this. Ye Youchen was very emotional, "However, you came to me tonight, didn't you listen to me?" ”
"I'm looking for a woman?"
"What?" When Ye Youchen heard this, he was so shocked that his mask almost fell off.
Han Yu glared at him, "A key person in the case, a very strange woman, appeared on the other side of Huaihua Road. ”
"Then I can't help you." Ye Youchen thought for a while, "However, if you have a photo, maybe I can take you to ask." When I went to the old people's house, I found that their community was full of old houses, and the people living in them were either elderly people or people from other places who came to work. ”
Han Yu's eyes lit up, the house in the old community is cheap, if it is as I said before, the woman who appeared in the video is likely to have been seen or even known by someone nearby. "You'll take me tomorrow!"
Ye Youchen rolled his eyes, "Okay, then you come to me tomorrow morning and go back to sleep quickly." ”
