Mediterranean put us on the couch, and he himself sat on the other side of the couch with us, not daring to sit behind his boss's desk.
"You just said that my dumplings eat the dead? Where did you hear this rumor? As soon as he sat down, Mediterranean immediately asked.
I also hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, I didn't say that your dumplings will poison people, but in fact, we are not sure if it is related to your dumplings, so we have to investigate." ”
His words obviously confused the Mediterranean, he scratched the top of his bald head, shook his head in a daze, and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, what are you two trying to investigate?" ”
"You don't care what we want to check, just show us the coins you put in the dumplings." I said.
"Is this important?"
Mediterranean is a nasty man who speaks abrasively, which makes me want to be polite with him.
"Where do you get so much nonsense? Is it that hard for you to show us? I finally couldn't help but squirt at him.
Mediterranean was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to suddenly turn my face.
But he didn't dare to play with us, and after being stunned, he immediately nodded yes, then got up and went back to his desk, took out a silver coin from the desk and handed it to me.
"This is it."
I picked up the coin and looked at it carefully.
The coin itself is very light and the texture is so soft that it feels like it is silver, but I absolutely do not believe that a businessman would put a silver coin in a dumpling and give it away, and the person who eats it is free of charge. Also, the pattern on both sides of the coin is the same, and it feels like some kind of flower, but I don't recognize it.
"Is this a coin? I don't feel like it. "I asked the Mediterranean with the coin.
"It's not a coin, it's not a coin, a friend of mine introduced me to it." While waving his hand, he explained: "I also have a friend who owns a dumpling restaurant in Beijing, and he came up with the method of adding such a lucky coin to the dumplings to attract customers, and then I tried it myself, but I didn't expect the effect to be really good." ”
"So you made it yourself?" I continued to ask.
"Hmm." Mediterranean nodded, and then immediately widened his eyes, and said with an extremely serious expression: "One thing I can guarantee is that I found a processing factory specializing in the production of food molds to help me process this coin, and I made it very clear to them that my coin is placed in dumplings, and the problem of food safety must be passed." Except for a few samples in my office, all the other dumplings that we put in are steamed at high temperatures and sterilized thoroughly. If you don't believe me, there is a certificate from the processing plant......"
"No need! No more! "I quickly waved my hand to stop the Mediterranean, and I don't know how much nonsense he would have to say if I let him continue.
"So your coin doesn't actually have any lucky features, does it?" Tang Hui asked.
"It's not right to say it's not lucky. Look at it, what is the fire of my hotel now? It's all the good luck that this coin brings me, and I'm not lucky to get any free orders for anyone who eats a coin? ”
The "luck" in the mouth of the Mediterranean is not the same thing as the "luck" that Tang Hui and I are looking for.
"And how many coins do you put in this kind of coin every day?" I continued to ask.
"Three, three a day. I got a small sampling software on my computer, I use that software to randomly select three time points every day, and then ask the person who makes dumplings to put the coins in according to the time I took out. ”
"Did you take pictures?" My eyes lit up.
"yes, a memorial. When I have more photos, I plan to make a huge photo wall in the hall, and all the photos of the lucky ones will be on that wall, which is also to prove that there are indeed prizes in our dumplings, and we will never play fake. ”
"You can show me all the pictures you have taken now." Tang Hui said.
"Oh, good."
Mediterranean answered, then ran back to the boss's desk and grabbed his laptop, quickly pulling out photos of all the lucky ones so far.
The photos were organized in a very orderly manner, with three protagonists every day, and a total of 132 photos until yesterday, which is 44 days. Tang Hui and I easily found Chen Chen from it, but this was not the focus of Tang Hui's search, what he wanted to make sure was the other five lucky people who had died before.
But the result obviously did not match Tang Hui's expectations.
"There aren't the other five in there?"
Tang Hui raised his head and looked at me in surprise for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to guess what he was looking for, he was a little too underestimating me. However, he was stunned for only a second before his expression returned to his usual expression, and shook his head at me and said, "There are not those few people in it, only Chen Chen." ”
"Then it seems that this should not be the intersection point of several of them, Chen Chen is estimated to have been 'lucky' before coming here."
Tang Hui then nodded in agreement.
It seems that we came to the hotel for nothing.
Seeing that Tang Hui and I were silent, he felt empty, "That, my hotel is fine, right?" It didn't have anything to do with any murders, did it? ”
"No, I didn't say that your restaurant had anything to do with the murder, we just came to investigate and find clues." Tang Hui also gave the Mediterranean a reassurance.
"Really?"
"Really!" Tang Hui smiled helplessly and said, "You are really grinding, do you have to say that you have something to do with the murder case to be satisfied?" ”
"No, no, no, no!!" Mediterranean hurriedly waved his hand wildly and said: "Now I am most satisfied with this result!" ”
"If you're satisfied, then we'll go, and you can keep this coin." I flicked the coin towards the Mediterranean, then got up and prepared to walk to the door.
Mediterranean caught the coin stupidly with two hand movements, and then hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurry to go, let's have lunch when we are already here, I am a restaurant, and other hospitality can't be entertained, and I hope that the two of you don't dislike it for lunch, and we will also take this opportunity to make friends." ”
I've always been interested in free lunches, but it's not necessarily whether Tang Hui wants to eat here or not. So I glanced at Tang Hui and left the decision to him.
Sure enough, Tang Hui immediately shook his head and said, "No, we have to continue to investigate, and we understand the kindness." ”
Mediterranean wanted to keep us a few more words, but Tang Hui refused three times in a row, and each time his attitude was more and more severe, Zuihou Mediterranean didn't dare to speak again, so he could only send us downstairs honestly.
And just when we came to the hall on the first floor and didn't walk out of the door, suddenly an excited woman's voice came from the corner of the hall!
"Hit !!!"
Obviously, this is a lucky coin.
However, the sound itself was more important to me than the matter of eating the lucky coin, and Tang Hui also turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came from as the shout sounded - in the corner of the hall stood a woman with straight eyebrows and bangs, she raised her right hand high, and was holding a shiny coin in her hand.
"Zhu Yue ?!!"
Tang Hui and I shouted out almost in unison.
