She loved an interesting café on Jindai Street near West Lake. Jindai Street is located on the west bank of the Dongjiang River, built in the 22nd year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, is one of the 18 lanes of Huizhou 9th Street, and is a famous ancient street in Huicheng District. The street is lined with antique shops and galleries – of course, it's up to your eyesight to see if it's real or fake – and in one of those streets, there's a small café that doesn't quite fit in with that. The interior of the café is well soundproofed, and you can barely hear the hustle and bustle of the outside when you enter the store. The interior is simple and elegant, with light brown as the main color, and the aroma of coffee in the store, as if even the walls exude a rich atmosphere. On the walls of the windows facing the street, coffee pots inlaid with glass mosaics, bone china cups for coffee, milk cups and sugar jars are vividly built up with ripples stirring in the cups and white steam rising in the cups.

"Shi Sui? Welcome. "The boss here is a young woman, her surname is very special, her surname is Tie, and she has a very nice name, called Tie Yirou.

"Yirou." She greeted her boss, "Please give me a hot mocha." ”

"Okay."

Tie Yirou looks very characteristic of oriental women, she is not a disaster-level red face that captivates the country and the city, but she looks very gentle and introverted, and in a word, it makes people feel comfortable. Since she met Tie Yirou, she also admired this young woman's profound knowledge, elegant temperament and calm attitude. Sometimes I feel that she is detached and not very like ordinary people. "Something has been going on lately." She sat at the bar and watched Tie Yirou make coffee, chatting without saying a word.

"Huizhou should be considered a relatively peaceful place, what you said is not very peaceful, at most it is theft and robbery?" Tie Yirou said with a faint smile.

"What? Have you forgotten that there was a bus driver driving a bus into a dozen people in a row? She said angrily.

"What the hell is going on?" She asked calmly.

"A few years ago, the editor of our magazine was drunk and drove an electric car, but he crashed into a ditch with a car and broke his leg. She smells the intoxicating aroma of coffee, she says.

"But I've heard you say that he seems to have seen a very powerful Chinese medicine doctor and cured his leg disease." Tie Yirou said strangely.

"It's cured, just last month." "But," she said...... He died two days ago. ”

"Oh, that's really an unforeseen situation, and people have good and bad luck." Tie Yirou said flatly.

It is this that makes her feel that Tie Yirou is not like ordinary people, she sees life and death very lightly, and shows her indifference to life and death at all. "The police said he was killed." She pressed her face against the cold bar and said, "I didn't think that murder and arson were close to me before, but now that this kind of thing suddenly happens to people around me, I don't think it's real." ”

Tie Yirou put the coffee in front of her and said, "Aren't you a contributor to the magazine?" These things should come across quite often. ”

"Did you forget? I write a travel column. She gave Tie Yirou a roll of her eyes. She is not a person who runs social news, how can she encounter murder and arson all day long? If you want to ask her where to eat and play, it's almost the same.

Tie Yirou smiled faintly and said, "The matter of catching the murderer is nerve-wracking for the police, so we should pay more attention to our own safety at most, there is nothing to be nervous about." ”

That being said, but the friends around me have all been killed, how can you not be nervous? "But Lao Zhao usually doesn't offend anyone, the family is harmonious, how can he be killed?" She straightened up, "If it's a wandering crime, this murderer will be difficult to catch." "It's a needle in a haystack.

"What the are you doing? Didn't you say you were in charge of the travel column? Why do you care about criminal cases? Tie Yirou smiled and shook her head, "By the way, didn't you say that you are quite interested in humanistic antiquities?" ”

"yes, you're going to ask me to go to the museum?" Two girls go to the museum together, weird......

"It's not." Tie Yirou said, "My brother who studied archaeology is coming back, and I will introduce you to you." ”

"Your brother?" For the first time, I heard her talk about the situation at home. "If it's your brother, he must be a handsome guy." My sister is a beauty, and my brother won't be far behind.

Tie Yirou just smiled and didn't speak.

"By the way, I'm going to have a piece of Italian cheesecake." She said, "Later, I have to carry my camera to take pictures of the scenery, I don't know what time it will be before I can have dinner, and I need to eat something to cushion my stomach." "It's so hot, it's easy to get heat stroke if you're hungry and don't have enough energy.

"Okay." Tie Yirou said, going to the glass cabinet and bringing out a piece of cake, "But didn't you say that it wasn't peaceful?" Isn't it okay to come home too late? ”

"No way, work." As soon as she spread her hands, the so-called work is something that you have to do whether you like it or not, whether you are happy or not.

"Then you should be safe." Tie Yirou said lightly.

At this moment, the door of the café opened, and a tall man walked in. This person must be more than 1.8 meters tall, with a straight nose, a resolute chin, and a pair of eyes burning with a flame called vitality, and he seems to be a person who is not easy to mess with. Seeing him walking straight towards the bar, could it be Yirou's friend? Could this be her brother?

"Hello, I'm Meng Fan of the criminal police team." The man took out his ID, "Are you Miss Shi Sui?" ”

What, you're looking for her? "I am. What is the matter with Mr. Policeman looking for me? "She hasn't done anything bad that the law doesn't forgive, why would the police come to her door?

"I have something to ask you about the murder of Zhao Weiguo." Meng Fan put away his documents and said.

"Ask me?" How did he know she was in the café? "Oh, then ask."

Meng Fan looked at Tie Yirou in the bar, she compared the empty table in the corner by the window, and said, "Go over there and talk, I will help you bring the coffee and cake." ”

"I'm sorry." She jumped off the bar chair, walked to the table by the window and sat down, and then asked the policeman in front of her with a "others owe me money" expression, "Officer Meng, what do you want to ask me?" ”

"According to our investigation, you are quite familiar with the victim Zhao Weiguo." He said.

"Well, he's my editor-in-charge."

"Do you know who he interacts with a lot on weekdays?"

She shook her head, "I'm sorry, I've never liked to inquire about other people's private lives. ”

Meng Fan's eyebrows furrowed, "How can you say that you are also a colleague of the same magazine, and you don't usually pay attention to who he is with in the magazine?" ”

"Lao Zhao has a good relationship with everyone in the magazine, and he has no conflicts with anyone." To put it simply, Lao Zhao is a good man!

"Don't you even have a rival with the magazine?" Meng Fan's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"If you insist on saying it, it's Lao Li Luo, he is engaged in food columns, all of which belong to the casual content column, and occasionally argue about the content on weekdays - but they will go to eat and drink together after work, can't this be regarded as a bad relationship?" How could this policeman force her to testify against others? "Nothing else." Their magazines are all healthy competition, and there is no such thing as a guy who kills people and kills people for the sake of being in a position.

"Lao Li? Li Jianmin? Meng Fan stared at me and asked.

"Hmm." Oh, I'm sorry, Lao Li, I sold you! "But Lao Li is a good person, and he will never do anything to kill people and set fires." She said.

"We'll investigate this, and it's not something you'll believe based on your one-sided words." Meng Fan said.

If you're going to investigate, why do you come to me as if you're trying to extract a confession? She secretly rolled her eyes and said, "Are there any other questions?" ”

"Where and what were you doing between eight and ten o'clock the night before yesterday?" Meng Fan asked again.

What the? Is this an alibi? "I'm in West Lake." She said, "The editor-in-chief said that he wanted me to take a series of photos of the West Lake scenery, so I took pictures by the West Lake at that time. ”

"Big night pictures?" Meng Fan sneered.

"It's not at night to shoot night scenes, but to shoot during the day?" Is there something wrong with this policeman's brain?

"Humph!" Meng Fan snorted with a red face and said, "Can someone prove that you are in West Lake?" ”

"I think a lot of people should see me, right? How can I remember the appearance of all passers-by? Otherwise, if you go and check the surveillance camera in that area, you might be able to catch me. She shrugged.

"That is, no one can prove you?" Meng Fan asked rhetorically.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Policeman, are you mistaken? If you doubt me, shouldn't you prove my guilt? Why should I prove my innocence? "If you have the ability to doubt, take out the evidence and take a look!

"You guy!" Meng Fan slapped the table and almost knocked over her coffee cup.

What is this man, and who is afraid of whom? "yes, you didn't." She propped her forehead, "Is there anything else you have to do?" If not, let me finish my coffee quietly, and I have work to do. ”

"Because there is a homicide now, if necessary, we still need your cooperation, I hope you don't leave casually in the near future." He stood up.

"It's hard to say, if I'm going on a business trip." She looked uncooperative, "You should tell our editor-in-chief and ask her not to send me out." ”

Meng Fan walked out, and Tie Yirou came over. "If you talk to the police like that, you might get yourself in trouble."

"It's okay, although that policeman's attitude is annoying, but he can see that he is an honest and serious person, and I don't think he will do anything wronged." It's hard to say anything else, but she still sees people quite accurately.

"Why did the police come to ask you?" Tie Yirou sat down across from her.

"Lao Zhao is my editor-in-charge, so it's not strange that he will come to ask me." She didn't care, "But I heard that Lao Zhao died a strange death." ”

"Strange?"

"Well, I heard from a friend who ran social news that Lao Zhao seems to have been bitten to death by an ape."

"Ape?"

"He was bitten to death by something, and a tuft of white ape hair was found where the body was found." It's no wonder that Tie Yirou was surprised, she also reacted like this when she heard it. This is so good, why did the ape want to kill Lao Zhao?
