Chapter 16: Investigation (I)

"Old auntie, don't worry, Boss Liu and I will definitely do our best. It's just that during this period, I talked to Boss Liu, please don't take it to heart. "Although Daoist Zuo is answering her, his mind is not with her at all." You're just going to think we're two crazy people. ”

“…… Good...... All right. I don't think I heard me. The old aunt said in a hurry, and then muttered in a low voice. Can these two people do it......"

The voice was faint, but I could hear it clearly.

"Boss Liu, you help the old aunt out first, I want to test the feng shui of this room." As he spoke, he took out a small compass from behind him. "Don't get in my way."

I can't ask for this kind of thing, I don't know anything about feng shui, and more things are better than less things. I immediately coaxed the old aunt out of Jiao Yuqin's bedroom, and then closed the door openly, and as soon as I walked out of the room, the fresh air made me dizzy several degrees.

Then he heard Zuo Dao Chang silently chanting a mantra inside, going back and forth, and within two minutes, he pushed the door open.

"What else do you need?"

"There's nothing you need, it's already been tested." Zuo Dao Chang said coldly. "The room was very clean."

"This ...... So fast? This made the old aunt a little surprised. Daoist Azuo, you're not going to deal with me, are you? ”

"Old aunt, I said no, no, this room is really clean, and the ghost who harmed your wife is not here." He said with some impatience. "Tell me where your boss went that night?"

"This ......," said the old aunt slowly. I know that he went out to dinner with three friends that night, and I don't know what happened after the meal, and I don't know why he appeared behind the Forbidden City. ”

"The Forbidden City is the biggest point of suspicion, but you tell me where he went to eat first?"

"It should be Quanjude, the head office in Hepingmen, because I was more anxious that night, and went to many restaurants he frequented, and those waiters said they hadn't seen him." The old aunt said in a panic. "Only when Quanjude, a table of people who had just broken up at a family party said that they seemed to have seen three people come to eat roast duck, but whether those people were talking nonsense, or whether they had really seen me I don't know, hey......"

"Quanjude?" Daoist Zuo shook his head helplessly. "It's overcrowded in such a place, and the likelihood of something happening in such a place is slim to none. But go ahead and give it a try. ”

"What are you kidding? Are we really going to Quanjude to investigate? "I'm kind of ridiculous." This is obviously impossible. ”

"Let's go, Willow Spring, this is the only clue we have now." The left governor patted me on the shoulder, not giving me room to excuse myself at all.

"I'll go with you." As she spoke, the old aunt picked up her coat and prepared to put it on. "I'll show you the way."

"No need, Auntie, you should spend more time with your husband at home." Daoist Zuo said indifferently, and there was no trace of panic or apprehension on his face. "Maybe there's not much time."

"Huh?" What he said really made me wonder. "Time is running out."

"If Boss Liu and I don't come back within two days, you should have to prepare for the aftermath for the eighth child." Zuo Daochang said indifferently. "Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can hide."

"You!" The old aunt was so angry that she trembled.

I was also confused by his words of flat thunder, so I could only quickly comfort myself. "Auntie, he's joking with you."

"I'm not kidding, it's all telling the truth, and I never like to lie to people." Before he could finish his sentence, he and I were pushed out and kicked on the door frame, fidgeting in pain.

"Get out of here! No, no, don't talk this kind of nonsense, it's rubbish. The old lady slammed the door shut, and then wept alone in the house.

This Zuo Dao Chief, sure enough, didn't disappoint me, he always spoke like this, yin and yang, moody, and able to make people half dead. "Daoist Zuo, why are you bothering? We obviously came to help with good intentions, but we became liars because of your words. ”

"She's going to have to accept this sooner or later, and I'm just letting her accept the pain in advance, so that it will heal faster." There was not the slightest shame on Zuo Daochang's face, and he calmly walked downstairs. "Can't you see what he looks like? If it weren't for the ghost who killed him and was willing to let him go, even if Hua Tuo was reincarnated, he would have no hope of living. ”

"You!" I hurriedly followed, thinking that it would be better for me to talk to people in the future, with his kind of emotional intelligence, I would be beaten to death before Jiao Yuqin was saved.

It is now more than nine o'clock, from Xinzhongguan to Qianmen West Street, we have a close contact with Metro Line 4, and experience the last wave of climax in the peak area, when we arrived, it was close to noon, and the golden plaque was crowded with pedestrians.

In fact, to be honest, when I heard the old aunt say that it was in Quanjude, or the head office of Hepingmen, I was a little resistant and worried, because I still have a relatively unspeakable relationship with Quanjude.

Quanjude is certainly no stranger to everyone, and it can be regarded as the most famous old hotel in China. From the three years of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty to the present, it has been almost 150 years. Whether it is domestic or foreign, as long as you travel to Beijing, it is really unreasonable not to go to Quanjude.

I still remember the first time I came to Quanjude, when I first came to Beijing, and I was still a little entangled in my hand, so I went with a roommate who came to Beijing to work. To be honest, I was really stunned when I saw that formation for the first time, we queued up for almost two hours just in line, at that time it was the first time I knew that each duck could be born with a number like a person, the first time I saw a duck sliced so heartily, pleasing to the eye, the first time I knew that a duck can be whole without wasting, a duck can be sold for nearly two hundred yuan at that time, that is really not a small amount.

Later, the previous work was really unmixed, and that guy and I followed the example of 'Quanjude' and opened a 'Quanjude' in a twenty-square-meter hut in an alley in Huilongguan, and I think now it is difficult to see the difference between these two names even if you look at them carefully. Not only is the name a cottage, but our knife workers are also a cottage, and they were completely stolen after watching the performance of the orthodox Quanjude that night. Huilongguan has more workers like us, and they will not delve into this problem at all, and when they look at the same name, they all think that we are really a chain store, and we sell a roast duck that costs ten yuan for 100 yuan, and the customers are very happy, which is more than half cheaper than the main store.

Later, one year when the industrial and commercial department strictly investigated, we closed the door with interest, and the roast duck oven also changed hands, without any loss.

Don't laugh at me, I believe that everyone will have a period of disgrace on the road of life, and I am no exception. Time has passed, and these things have long been forgotten by those who once knew.

It's just that when I go back to the old place and think about my past, I am inevitably a little timid.
