The door opened, and Dong Mi'er, who was wearing an apron, walked in: "Two little guys, wash your hands and get ready to eat." ”

"It's been a long time since I've eaten my aunt's cooking, and I'm dying of hunger. Ai Xue said happily.

Dong Mi'er smiled: "Come over if you want to eat in the future, don't worry if Yichen is not at home." ”

"Good. ”

When the two of them went downstairs, the table was already full of hearty and delicious meals, mushu pork, shredded yams, sweet and sour tenderloin, and braised eggplant...... The aroma is overflowing.

Smelling the fragrance of vegetables in the air, Ai Xue said, "Auntie, the food you cook is getting more and more fragrant." ”

"Then you need to eat more. Dong Mi'er smiled lightly.

"I'm starving. While the two were talking, Yichen had already slipped to the dining table and reached out to grab a piece of Coke chicken wings.

Dong Mi'er patted her son and urged him to wash his hands quickly. Yichen responded while nibbling on chicken wings and walking to the bathroom.

The two were undoubtedly hungry, and sat down at the table and began to feast.

Seeing the two little guys eating so seriously, Dong Mi'er couldn't help but smile contentedly.

"By the way, Mom, what did I wear yesterday?" asked Yichen as he ate.

"In the laundry room, I haven't washed it yet, it's too smelly, soak it for a while and wash it again." ”

Yichen was shocked: "It's soaked!"

"That's right, it's so smelly, how can you wash it if you don't soak it?" Dong Mi'er looked at him suspiciously, "Can't you soak it?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Auntie, he may miss the smell of the trash can. Ai Xue eats rice.

"Eat fast, you're fat. "Yichen gave her a chicken leg.

Ai Xue grimaced at him.

"The soup is ready, I'll go serve you soup and drink, the black bean pot crucian carp soup I made today. Dong Mi'er said with a smile, for this reason, she also went to buy eyebrow peas, and the nanny Wang's mother had something to do at home temporarily.

Ten minutes later, Dong Mi'er put on an apron and began to clean up the table: "Let's go play when you're full, but there is one thing to remember, you can only stay at home, you are not allowed to go out!"

Yichen touched his nose, and said in his heart that you know me too well, I haven't said I want to go out yet.

Ai Xue got up and took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks: "Auntie, I'll help you." ”

Dong Mi'er smiled gently: "Be careful, don't stain your clothes." ”

Yichen rolled his eyes, picked up the dishes and chopsticks that had been cleaned up on the table: "Mother Wang is not here, so leave the responsibility of washing the dishes to me." ”

"I can't go out after washing. Dong Mi'er said lightly.

"That's also washed. Yichen sighed secretly, and he couldn't hide anything from his mother.

Watching Yichen walk towards the kitchen, Dong Mi'er smiled with satisfaction and continued to wipe the table.

After washing the dishes, Yichen glanced at Ai Xue, and the two quietly walked into the laundry room.

"The clothes are so stinky, and the trash can is even more stinky, I really admire you, your courage is commendable. Ai Xue pinched her nose and looked at the clothes soaked in the large basin.

"No wonder my mom said I almost suffocated, the trash cans couldn't be full of swill. Yichen rummaged through his clothes, and the thought of plunging into the swill made him sick to his stomach.

"Found it. Yichen touched it and took out a black wooden tag from his pants, "It's not wet, is the wooden tag also coated with waterproof glue?" ”

Ai Xue took the wooden card, looked left and right: "It's not strange, it's just an ordinary wooden card." ”

"Could it be because of the small sword?" Yichen dug into his pockets with both hands, took out a small wooden sword three inches long in his left hand, and took out a small iron sword of the same length in his right hand.

"You mean these two little swords are related to the strange illness of two years ago and the strange thing of yesterday respectively?" Ai Xue tilted her head, she probably understood what Yichen meant.

"I don't believe it's a coincidence. ”

Unable to find the result, Yichen flushed the wooden card with water and walked out of the laundry room with Ai Xue.

The vibration of the mobile phone sounded, and after looking at the caller ID, Ai Xuemei's eyes were shocked: "My mother's phone! I want to go to my grandfather's house with my mother in the afternoon, I forgot it!"

"Just right, I'll send you home. Yichen said.

"I think you're trying to get out. Ai Xue snorted softly.

In the same community, the distance between the two people's homes is not even a hundred meters, and at this time, Xian Qin doesn't have to guess that he has another purpose.

The lie was exposed, and Yichen scratched his head and smiled: "It's a little trivial to go out, but the most important thing is to send you." ”

"The devil believes you! Ai Xue snorted and walked upstairs, answering the phone as she went.

Just when Yichen prepared a lot of rhetoric to persuade his mother, unexpectedly, Dong Mi'er allowed him to go out.

After sending Ai Xue home, Yichen took a taxi and went straight to the Hutaoli Music Tavern.

If what happened last night was true, there must be some clues in the tavern's surveillance footage, he thought.

Half an hour later, Yichen pushed open the door to the tavern.

The waiter greeted him, and when he saw Yichen, he was immediately surprised: "It's you! Aren't you missing? Where did you go?"

"This ......" Yichen smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, the waiter in front of him was the one who received them and handed him the wooden sign and note.

"The young lady who came with you last night has been waiting here for a long time, and has not seen you come back, and she is dying in a hurry. The waiter kindly reminded.

"It's urgent, so I'm in a bit of a hurry. Yichen casually found a reason, he didn't want to waste time telling the waiter about the strange experience last night.

"No matter how urgent you are, you have to bring your mobile phone, otherwise no one will be able to contact you. ”

"That's right, I'm in too much of a hurry. "Yichen is ashamed.

Realizing that he was out of shape, the waiter smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've talked too much, what can I serve you? Is it for afternoon tea or to reserve a seat?"

"Neither, the tavern should have CCTV. Yichen looked up at the ceiling.

"Yes, both inside and outside the store. "The waiter didn't understand why he was asking this.

"I'd like to see last night's surveillance footage, is that okay?" Yichen asked tentatively, with an idea, "I lost my watch, and that watch is very important to me." ”

"Did you lose it in the store?"

"I don't know where I lost it, so I wanted to take a look at the surveillance footage and hope to find some clues. Yichen put on a worried and anxious look.

"It's not up to me as a waiter to call the shots, you wait a minute, I'll ask our manager. The waiter said.

Not long after leaving, the waiter returned with a middle-aged man, apparently, who was the manager of the tavern.

After looking at Yichen, the manager pointed to the conspicuous sign on the wall: "It's okay to adjust the video, but there is one thing to explain in advance." Our pub has clear signs reminding customers to take care of their belongings. Therefore, if there is an incident such as theft or loss, as long as it is not committed by the clerk, it has nothing to do with the store, and the store is not responsible. ”

"Got it, I hope to find a clue. Yichen pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, he was very weak, and the manager's momentum made him a little breathless.

The manager asked about the time, and Yichen thought about it carefully and said an approximate time.

The manager walked to the front desk and said to the beautiful receptionist: "Bring up the surveillance video from 9 to 10 o'clock last night." ”

The beautiful reception leaned over and dragged the mouse in front of the computer, while the manager and Yichen looked up at the display screen hanging in the air.

After a while, the receptionist said, "Manager, I can't find last night's surveillance footage." ”

"I can't find it? The manager frowned.

After a while, the receptionist shook his head and said, "Manager, I also found it in the backup, but no." ”

The manager's face became very ugly, how could the surveillance footage be lost for no reason? Wouldn't this make people even more suspicious that their clerk had done it? Maybe because of this incident, their store would be put on a black store hat.

"Now that I've lost the footage, I'll go back and find it. Just as the manager was thinking about how to explain to Yichen, Yichen retreated. He didn't lose anything, he was already weak, and now that the surveillance video was lost for no reason, he was even more panicked.

"Don't worry, I'll find out about the video as soon as possible. The manager said solemnly.

Yichen nodded and turned away quietly.

Depressed, he walked out of the tavern, met a person head-on, saw the person's face clearly, Yichen trembled fiercely, lowered his head and moved a step to the side, intending to part with the visitor.

But it backfired, and the visitor also moved to the side and blocked in front of him.

Yichen was helpless, so he could only look up at the person who came, and forced a smile: "What a coincidence." ”

"Unfortunately, I'm just waiting for you. Andrei smiled.

"Wait for me?" Yichen was startled and quickly shook his hand, "I didn't tell anyone about yesterday!"

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with yesterday's events. The reason why I came to you today is because of this. Andrei pulled out a small object from his pocket, a plastic duck less than the size of a fist.

"Toys?" Yichen was stunned.

"It's not a toy, it's a commodity, a valuable commodity. Seeing that Yichen was a little confused, Andre shrugged his shoulders and twisted off the head of the plastic duck, revealing the USB flash drive interface inside, "To be exact, it's a USB flash drive." ”

"I still don't quite understand what you mean. Yichen said cautiously.

"Don't be nervous. André motioned for him to take it easy.

Yichen laughed dryly, could he not be nervous? If the white woman from yesterday reappeared, and then put a gun to his back and said something to kill him, his life would be in danger again.

"Am I that scary?" said Andrei, who considers himself relatable.

"No, it's not scary. "Yichen pretended to be relaxed.

"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of. "I guess you're here to see last night's surveillance footage, and you haven't seen it yet, right?"

"How do you know?" Yichen blurted out, looking stunned.

Andre smiled smugly and shook the plastic duck in his hand: "The surveillance video you want to see is here." ”

"You stole it!"

"Don't say it so badly, it's borrowing, yes, it's borrowing. Andrei said that he felt that his Chinese skills had improved a lot, "How is it? Now we can have a good talk?"

After a moment's hesitation, Yichen nodded.

"Let's go, the café across the street is nice. ”
