Chapter 169 Italian Map
In the face of Hua Cub'er's cold eyebrows and evil words, the foreign waiter did not dare to contradict, so he had to obediently go down and pass the menu to the back kitchen.
Looking at his panicked appearance, Long Xirui smiled at Hua Xiao'er: "Your behavior of coming out (referring to homosexual, bisexual, or pansexual people who openly have sexual orientation) can frighten him!" β
Hua Cub grabbed Long Xirui's hands and pretended to say, "Then don't let me down!" β
"Are you supporting you in B?" Long Xirui continued to quip, "I don't have the habit of keeping stray cats. β
Hua Cub couldn't say anything about Long Xirui for a while, and said angrily: "Can you still damage this mouth a little more?" β
"Alright! Let's stop arguing and feed your gluttonous cat later! β
Although it was lunchtime, there weren't many customers in the restaurant. Long Xirui drank a sip of water and moistened her dry throat, looked at the street scene outside the window with a pair of eyes, and suddenly felt that something flashed in front of her, and looked closely, and found that there was a small restaurant with a two-story attic across the street, and the strange flash should have come from the upper floor, but due to the obstruction of a dead tree, it was difficult to see the situation in the room.
Unlike Long Xirui, who looked out through the window, Hua Cub seemed to be more curious about the ornate and elaborate decoration of the restaurant's interior, and after taking in the dazzling array of dishes, her gaze stayed on the colorful walls.
"This painting is quite special!" Hua Xiao'er pushed Long Xirui's hand and said, "Although I can't see what is drawn, compared to that painting "White Horse Roar", at least the color is much more gorgeous. β
Long Xirui followed the prestige, but almost laughed out loud, it turned out that the painting on the wall was not a painting, but a colorful map of Italy.
She forced a smile and said, "If you look closely, what does that painting look like?" β
Hua Cub twisted her head and looked at it again, and suddenly exclaimed, "Huh! How does it look a bit like a boot? It's still a pointed-toe boot with a high heel, and it kicks up two stones. β
"Your eyes still have a bit of artistic logic!" Long Xirui said, "In fact, it is a map of Italy, because the overall terrain is long and narrow, like a boot stepping into the Mediterranean, so Italy is also known as the 'boot country', the two 'stones' kicked up by boots in your eyes, there are also many people who want to see it as 'football', Sicily and Sardinia." β
Hua Cub listened interestingly, and smiled happily: "Interesting, there is such a country with such unique terrain in the world!" But if you compare, it is still the rooster on our map of China that is more imposing. It's just a map, so why decorate that boot with so many colorful colors? β
"The colorful colors you see are used to divide the different administrative regions." "It is customary to divide the territory of Italy into northern, central and southern regions, with eight districts in the north and six in the central and southern regions. β
"It's exactly like you said." Hua Cub nodded and said, "There seem to be foreign characters written on each piece of different colors." β
"It's written in English." Long Xirui said when he saw that Sardinia was striking outside the Apennine Peninsula and that it was written "Sardinia", not "Sardegna" in Italian.
"Italy should be fun, right?" The fascinated Hua Cub asked.
"Although the place is not big, there are many famous cities, such as Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice, Naples, etc." Long Xirui introduced.
"Except for the 'birds don't,' I've heard of them in several other cities."
"It's not 'birds don't,'" Long Xirui said with a laugh, "It's Naples." β
"Oops! It doesn't matter if it's '' or 'strangulation', I love those places, and you have to take me for a lap when you have time! β
Although Hua Cub'er's request was unreasonable, it made Long Xirui feel a little sentimental in his heart, and in less than two days, he had to incarnate as Nie Yuanzhen and leave Hua Cub for a while.
A feeling of reluctance swelled in her heart, Long Xirui avoided Hua Xiao'er's eager gaze a little unnaturally, looked at the map of Italy on the wall, and suddenly found that under the word "Sardinia" on Sardinia, there was also a "Blanche", and the model of the handwriting was a little smaller than "Sardinia".
Long Xirui did not know the exact meaning of the "Blanche" mark here, and although Bologna came to mind, she quickly denied herself, because except for the spelling of the word, Bologna is a city located in northern Italy, not at all on Sardinia.
While thinking about it, the foreign waiter came to serve the dishes to the two of them with a dining cart.
"Even if you don't want to agree, you don't need to be so stingy that you don't even say anything, right?"
Hua Xiao'er didn't ask more questions at this moment, and her attention completely shifted from the longing trip to Italy to the asparagus soup in front of her, although it was not very hungry, but even if it couldn't fill her stomach, at least she had to fill her mouth first.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps from the staircase, and Long Xirui sounded like the sound of a woman's high heels stepping on the wooden floor, and there was not only one person, but also trotting up.
In the blink of an eye, three tall and slender women entered the restaurant, all wearing loose and large trench coats and hoods over their heads, each wearing a pair of wide sunglasses, enough to cover more than half of their cheeks. Their trench coats were unbuttoned, revealing a colourful dress that was as vibrant as the map of Italy on the wall. What is even more striking is that all three of them wore knee-high boots on their legs, the first one wore red boots, and the middle and back wore a pair of yellow and green boots, the patent leather fabric of the boots looked shiny, and the heels were pointed and high, so it was not surprising that they made the same clicking sound when they walked.
The trio's fancy costumes did not attract the attention of Hua Cub, who was preoccupied with gobbling up, and Long Xirui speculated by feeling that they might be actors, and it was very likely that they were dance-related actors.
The woman in the red boots said to the oncoming waiter: "Old-rules, be-quick!" β
I heard the woman in the yellow boots say: "Time is so tight, can't you just order food and let the assistant deliver it to the company?" If Sister Rose makes a surprise attack and comes to visit the class, I'm afraid she will have to be scolded again. β
Hearing the words "Sister Rose", Long Xirui immediately recalled Ouyang Ruosi of future entertainment, so she paid more attention to their conversation.
"The slow-cooked Icelandic cod I want to eat has to be eaten just after it is stewed, otherwise it will lose its tenderness as time passes." The woman in the red boots said again.
"Alas! To put it so exquisitely, who doesn't know that you won't even be able to eat ten bites of silver cod at a time. The woman in the green boots, who had not spoken before, answered.
"You two don't know that our daily intake cannot exceed 150 kilocalories."
"Then it's better to just make do with it in the company!" The woman in the yellow boots said, "Besides, wouldn't it be a bit unlucky to slow cook Icelandic cod?" The other day, in Sardinia, it was also because you had to eat this dish that it caused an accident in Blanche......"
"Hey!" The woman in the red boots suddenly turned back and interrupted her, "I said you weren't allowed to talk about that again!" β
Seeing her angry look, the woman in the green boots pulled the woman in the yellow boots and said, "Alice is right, Cherry, don't mention those bad things, we have to hurry back to the office after eating!" β
Before Cherry could speak, Alice took off her sunglasses and said, "Donna, you don't need to say it, now she's swept away my interest." β
Before the words fell, she had already walked quickly along the road towards the stairs, just passing by the foreign waiter who was about to serve the food, perhaps walking too quickly, the sharp heel of her red boots stepped on the foreign waiter's feet impartially, and suddenly the other party screamed in pain.
"Don't look at it when you walk!" Alice complained unapologetically.
"I'm-so-sorry!" The waiter apologized, "Miss Alice, this is your slow-cooked Icelandic cod." β
"I don't have an appetite!" Alice snorted and said, "Just put the list on my account." β
With that, Alice went down the stairs without looking back, and Cherry and Donna had to quickly follow.
The moment Alice took off her sunglasses before, Long Xirui saw her face with heavy makeup, although her facial features were not clear, but a feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu still arose in her mind, coupled with her half-ripe voice, a name almost blurted out of Long Xirui's mouth - Tang Quan!
"What's the English name of Tangquan?" Long Xirui asked Hua Cub.
Hua Cub, who was hungry and only lowered his head to drink the soup, didn't know anything about the scene that had just happened, and when he heard Long Xirui's question, he raised his head, rolled his eyes, and replied, "Is it the soup spring of the seventh son of Quanzhen?" Aliceγ β
"Is there a Blanche in the seven sons of Izumi?" Long Xirui continued to ask.
βBlancheοΌ Yes, it's Nie Yuanzhen! Hua Cub said, "She is Bai Fumei in the minds of many fans, so fans still call her 'Bai Lanxue'." Then again, that Blanche looks so much like you, like a person or a twin. β
Before Hua Xiao'er could finish speaking, Long Xirui had already left her seat and approached the wall decorated with a map of Italy.
The word below "Sardinia" is "Blanche", yes, it looks like a neat typograph like "Sardinia", but Long Xirui can conclude that it was written by hand with a pen.
As Cherry said, Blanche, that is, Nie Yuanzhen, had an accident in Sardinia, so the name Blanche was so coincidentally written on the map of Sardinia, could it be the murderer, the so-called "Boot Terminator"? In other words, the murderer had been to the restaurant before, and the location of his fourth crime was in Sardinia, Italy.
