Chapter 2: The Lamb

Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is quite a famous tourist attraction, and at eight o'clock, there is still an endless stream of tourists coming and going. Liu Yanshi led the way through the large and small shops, turned a few alleys, and the dazzling neon and noise were left behind, and the two came to a neighborhood with a relatively strange atmosphere.

There are a lot of people, and most of them are drunk. Someone smokes a cigarette under a flickering street lamp, and a woman with a bag stands under a pink sign in the alley. Walking less than 200 meters, three men came up to stop Liu Yanshi to talk, they asked for the price, and Liu Yanshi replied with a smile, "Lose Lei Loumou".

The floor here was always wet, like a rainy day, with a faint musty smell, but it was drowned out by the sound of music that seemed to be in my ears.

Wrapping up the rotten inside with a drunken gold fan, this is the Red Light District.

There were many bars passing by, but Liu Yanshi didn't stop, until she reached the end of the crowd, Shi Zuocai had to wonder if she was going to a bar, so she stopped in front of an apartment building in an alley.

"Here we are."

Shi Zuocai was stunned, looked at the apartment, looked at Liu Yanshi, and repeated:

"Arrived?"

"Here we are."

Shi Zuocai turned his head to look at the standing sign placed in front of the apartment.

The second floor, the Golden Palace Massage City.

On the third floor, Burning Love Hotel.

On the fourth floor, Youjun Mahjong Center.

5th floor, Jun'an Hotel.

He blinked slowly, and confirmed to Liu Yanshi again:

"Arrived?"

"Here we are."

Shi Zuocai suddenly asked:

"Do you have corns?"

"Nope."

"You can play mahjong?"

"Don't fight."

Shi Zuocai nodded and touched his nose: "I don't have an ID card, just open the room." ”

Liu Yanshi shook his head with a grin:

"Let's not go to the fifth floor below."

Walking towards the apartment, Liu Yanshi pressed the elevator button, and Shi Zuo recognized some keywords in the messy graffiti on the wall.

LAMB.

Wine; Cocktail; Cigar (red wine; Cocktail; Cigars)

On·sale (on sale)

7/F (7th Floor)

Shi Zuocai frowned slightly, and as Liu Yan entered the elevator, she pressed it was really the 7th floor.

The elevator slowly rose, and Liu Yanshi looked like he was in a good mood, humming a little song in the elevator where there were only two people. Shi Zuocai asked:

"What's the point of the name?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's an allusion that the people who go in to consume are little fat sheep, waiting to be slaughtered? Liu Yanshi was amused by his own meme and giggled. The corners of Shi Zuocai's mouth twitched. There is no expectation of this so-called meeting place of the Kyogen Division.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and the first thing that greeted me was the sound of jazz music. What catches your eye is a dark color, and the corridor that has been specially painted dark red, and the dark blue neon lights are pieced together to form the word LAMB.

The atmosphere here is much better than expected. Shi Zuocai was stunned, Liu Yanshi glanced at him proudly, walked out of the elevator by himself, and walked down the corridor to the depths.

The sound of jazz was getting closer and closer, and when the dark red curtain was opened, Liu Yanshi deftly entered the back room, and her voice came from the other end of the curtain:

"Good evening, little Lala."

Shi Zuocai walked in, and before he could see the interior of the bar, the expression on his face instantly froze.

There was only one person behind the bar. The "little Lala" shouted by Liu Yanshi should be this person. Before coming in, Shi Zuocai had also imagined what the owner of this bar looked like, and of course, he also considered that the boss was a man with five big and three thick, like an iron tower.

But he was only half right.

"Little Lala" is a man who is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waistline, but wears a women's kimono.

He (or perhaps she) was carefully wiping the wine glass in his hand, nodded to Shi Zuocai at the door, and said politely:

"You may be seated."

Shi Zuo moved stiffly. The atmosphere at the bar was good, and the song was played by Tinsley Ellis's Kiss· Of· Death。 It's a small place, with only six tables around it, excluding the seven chairs in front of the bar. There were also very few guests drinking—there was only a sloppy man in the corner before Liu Yanshi came in.

But just because there are fewer customers doesn't mean the bar is bad. In fact, the atmosphere and mood of this bar is top-notch everywhere, and the array of wine cabinets behind the bar alone is enough to dazzle you.

But the problem is that person. The guy called Lala.

He spoke with a polite manner, methodical movements, and thoughtful manners.

But he wore a women's kimono.

Shi Zuocai's eyes were taken away, and he didn't even intend to observe everything else in the bar, subconsciously obeying his every word.

He sat in a chair at the bar, next to Liu Yanshi.

The cup was carefully wiped clean, filled with chilled lemonade, placed on the coaster, gently pressed the coaster with one hand, and gently pushed the cup with the other, and slowly placed it in front of Shi Zuocai. The action is impeccable in its elegance.

But he wore a women's kimono.

Lala bowed, pulled out a delicately bound wine list from the counter, and placed it in front of the two of them.

"May I ask first, sir, are you eighteen years old?"

Lala looked directly at Shi Zuocai, who swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice:

"It's going to be full this year."

Lala narrowed her eyes slightly, he was Danfeng eyes, and he had his own charm inside.

"What month is your birthday?"

"September 22nd." Liu Yanshi smiled and stepped forward to talk first, "It was just full last week." ”

Lala glanced at Liu Yan suspiciously, tilted his head, closed his eyes, took a light breath, and made a standard "please".

"The first three pages are red wines, followed by vodka, whiskey, and cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks are on the last page - if you have any taste or alcohol requirements, you can also tell me directly, and I will mix it up for you."

He lowered his head slightly, glanced at Liu Yan next to him, and said lightly: "Xiaoyan can only drink non-alcoholic beverages." ”

"Why! Little Lala, you're too much! ”

"You're only 17 years old, aren't you?"

"But when I was in Australia, I drank casually!"

"This is China."

"There is no minimum age for drinking alcohol in Chinese law!"

"Don't you want to get married?"

"What does drinking have to do with not being able to get married?"

"Drinking alcohol all year round can cause **sagging."

Shi Zuocai looked at Lala, and then looked at Liu Yanshi, and dispelled the desire to insert a sentence "She didn't have it in the first place", but Liu Yanshi stood up and was indignant:

"I didn't have one, what's wrong with the sagging?"

Lala and Shi Zuocai were both speechless for a while, Lala looked at Shi Zuocai, and said:

"Guest, have you decided?"

"No alcoholic beverages are fine."

He picked the drink with the least 0 on the wine list.

Lara nodded and set about getting ready for the mixology. Liu Yanshi propped one hand on the bar counter and glared at Shi Zuocai angrily, while grabbing a small plate of dried fruits on the table and stuffing it into his mouth.

Lala's bartending movements are skilful and professional, as if she is enjoying a smooth performance. Shi Zuo was fascinated, and even the strange perception of him wearing a women's kimono when they first met faded a lot.

"Your name is Shi Zuocai, right?"

Since he and Liu Yanshi are old acquaintances, it is not surprising to know Shi Zuocai's information, so Shi Zuocai nodded.

"I've heard there's something wrong with your personality."

The music in the bar is just right to drown out the conversation in front of the bar, so as not to disturb the other customers at all. So, even on such a secret topic, Lala can communicate as if it were a casual conversation.

"He's an idiot, he doesn't even know how much personality he has." Liu Yan smiled sheepishly.

Lala glanced at her:

"Girls' families, they don't know how to be polite when they speak."

"You're my mother, huh?"

"I'm your sister."

"Old woman, stinky and shameless." Liu Yanshi pursed her lips, and her unhappy appearance looked quite cute. The doubts on Shi Zuocai's face became thicker and thicker. Seeing this, the empathetic Lala asked softly:

"Do you have any questions?"

Shi Zuocai picked the tip of his nose.

"Uh, you're ...... Lady? ”

He vaguely guessed Lala's condition: he was also a kyogen master, and perhaps at this time he was switching to the state of sub-personality, and the self-perception of sub-personality happened to be that of a woman with all kinds of amorous feelings, and Lala's actions also confirmed all this.

But Lala seemed to see through Shi Zuocai's thoughts, and smiled softly:

"I'm the main personality now. My sub-personality is male. ”

Shi Zuo opened his mouth in surprise.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Liu Yanshi snorted and laughed, she had always been happy to see Shi Zuo deflated.

At that moment, a drunken and scruffy man in the corner came up and sat down at the bar. Lala, who was still bartending, glanced up at him and said with a smile:

"Is Mr. Zhu going back?"

"It's almost time." The man was wearing a suit, untended and wrinkled. His hair was messy like a bird's nest, and he stretched out his hand to look at his watch, and smiled at Lala:

"There's still something to do, thank you for your hospitality, great beauty."

As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket, took the pen from the bar, scribbled a few words, pasted them on the bar, and walked towards the door with his pocket in his pocket.

Shi Zuocai and Liu Yanshi subconsciously watched the man leave, only to hear Lala's angry voice:

"What's there to see."

"The man...... Actually, he looks quite handsome. Liu Yanshi blinked, and Shi Zuo couldn't deny it. Although he only glanced at the side face in a hurry, the man's appearance was indeed okay, if he took a good look at the stubble on his face, he looked a little similar to a certain movie star.

"His name is Zhu Ansheng, and he is a private detective." Lara smiled lightly: "The mouth is quite sweet." ”

"Private detective?" Shi Zuocai frowned slightly.

"I used to be the number one person in the criminal investigation team, and a few years ago I was given the name of 'Detective Zhu', and my fame is not small."

Lala put the mixed drink on the coaster and carefully pushed it in front of Shi Zuocai: "Please." ”

Shi Zuocai said thank you and took a sip, looking a little weird. Lara took out a pack of women's cigarettes from the lining of her kimono, took the sticky note, and continued:

"Later, it seemed that something had been done and I quit my job. I opened my own office, helping people find kittens and dogs, and checking the three and four. Occasionally, when I receive some fraud cases that the police are not easy to manage, I will throw them to me and let people who have the ability to solve them. ”

"Pimping." Liu Yanshi quietly stuck out her tongue.

Lala glanced at her angrily: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

After a pause, Lara whispered meaningfully:

"That one named Zhu Ansheng is a sleepy river dragon, don't underestimate him."

"I know, Miss Lala's favorite, it's not something we can afford to mess with casually." As soon as Liu Yanshi finished speaking, he giggled to himself.

"You Nizi, you can't talk properly all day long." An imperceptible flush crossed Lala's face, and she glanced at the young man and woman in front of the bar with her arms crossed, and said jokingly:

"Xiaoyan himself is not very good. When you're young, why are you hungry? Classmate Shi's thin arms and legs, I'm afraid it won't be good when the time comes-don't you know that a woman is like a wolf and a tiger in her thirties? ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Yanshi didn't argue, and glanced at Shi Zuocai vividly, and his eyes rolled slightly:

"I think so."

Shi Zuocai drank his drink silently, not having the slightest interest in the meat jokes of the two ladies.

Lala and Liu Yanshi glanced at each other, and then remembered that there was something to do when Shi Zuocai was dragged over, and Lala said:

"There can be a solution to the matter of your own personality."

Shi Zuocai looked at Lala and didn't speak.

Lala smiled suddenly, twisted the lady's cigarette in her hand on the ashtray, and took out the note that Fang Zhu Ansheng had left for him from her sleeve.

"However, there are rules in one line, if you want to get something from my bar, you have to make a deal with me."

Shi Zuocai frowned slightly, Lala put the note in front of him, and put her hands into her sleeves.

"This is the information from the fraudster that the detective just gave me, you eat this fraudster first, and then I will tell you how to solve your own problems - this is a vote."

Liu Yanshi leaned over curiously, took a sticky note and looked at it carefully under the lamp, with a gloating smile on his face:

"Mr. Shi Zuocai is really full of disasters and difficulties, and your peaceful life is coming to an end."

Shi Zuocai didn't speak, he lowered his head, slowly put his hands on his face, and didn't say a word. Lala didn't understand what he was doing, her eyes were full of doubts, Liu Yanwei blinked, and suddenly let out an "ah".

"Here we go."

"What started?" Lara asked.

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a sound like the roar of a beast coming from their throats. It was the signature action of the stuffy oil bottle after it was agitated to a certain extent, and Liu Yanshi's eyes were bent into crescent moons:

"He's going to transform."
