Volume 2 The Stupid Kidnapper Chapter 16 Behind the Hot Pot Restaurant

The bartender approached again, almost touching the two long faces together, but his eyes were extremely sharp, staring at Xu Hua's eyes tightly: "You haven't told me how you know my name is Blaze." ”

Xu Hua stepped back again, and his heart was inexplicably beating very fast, almost jumping out of his chest: "I, I'm talking about the name of the wine." ”

Sometimes I have to admit that many of the so-called single dogs are not worthy of sympathy, and Xu Hua is such a person. The IQ is definitely not low, but this EQ can only be hehe!

The bartender's eyes flashed with sadness, and he slowly stepped back, gently placing the wine glass in his hand on the table: "Tomorrow, the Flame Bar will not exist." There may be no more flames in this world, and there is no such thing as flames."

The bartender's expression was indescribably sad, which made Xu Hua's heart also feel an indescribable emotion: "Or! Or I can help you, I buy the Blaze Bar and you be my bartender. ”

"Why? Do we have anything to do with each other? Who are you? The bartender asked, his eyes fixed on Xu Hua's eyes.

Xu Hua was speechless and didn't know how to answer, so he picked up the flames on the table and drank them all. Then the third cup. The strange thing is that he should be drunk after three cups of flames, but today there is really no reaction, Xu Hua felt that his brain was surprisingly sober.

The bartender smiled bitterly, opened the door to the bar, and walked out alone.

Xu Hua did not leave, and even the next morning, the bartender did not return, and until the evening, the bartender still did not return. In the early hours of the third day, the door to the bar finally opened, and it was not the bartender who entered, but a fat man with a big belly. Dressed in a suit, with a wrench on his thumb. Seeing Xu Hua, the fat man was surprised and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Hua turned his head and did not answer, but put his work card on the bar and asked flatly, "Who are you and why did you come here?" ”

The fat man glanced at the work card on the bar, his expression suddenly became flattering, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Officer Xu of the Serious Crime Unit, you must have business, I have a good mission, this bar was bought by me three years ago, but it has never been operated, this business is too busy and I really don't have time to take care of it." I've been back for the next two days and I'm going to sell this bar. ”

Xu Hua was stunned for a moment, this bar was bought three years ago, and it has been idle since then, but what is the matter with the flames?

"Have you rented out the bar in the past three years?" Xu Hua asked unrelentingly, with a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"Nope!" The fat man said in surprise: "You can bury people when you see the dust falling, how can anyone rent it!" ”

Xu Hua was stunned, and the palatial bar in front of him was rapidly fading. What was revealed was a dilapidated scene, with dilapidated tables and chairs lying on the messy floor. Many still fell to the ground.

Xu Hua rubbed his eyes vigorously, turned to look at the bar, and the bartender was actually standing in front of him, smiling faintly from himself. The figure slowly dissipated. The bar counter of the bar also leaked out of the dilapidated scene first. There was dust all around, and the bar where all kinds of famous wines were placed was dust and cobwebs on it.

Cold sweat flowed directly down Xu Hua's forehead, and then looked at the wine glass in front of him, but it was still as new as ever. There is still a little bit of wine left over from the flames. The chair and the position of the bar counter are surprisingly fast.

"Do you see the wine glass in my hand?" Xu Hua picked up the wine glass and looked at the fat man and asked.

"Well, this is evidence! It really has nothing to do with me, I just just got here. The fat man glanced at the wine glass in Xu Hua's hand, and immediately cleared up the relationship.

Xu Hua was silent. Obviously this is not a hallucination, there has been a flame bar for three years, and the bartenders are real, but they are not people, but ghosts.

The flames were monstrous, and the red wine juice was still bright red, exuding temperature like flames, but the surroundings were already different from people.

"Officer, do you have anything else?" The fat man asked.

"You're going to sell this bar, aren't you? How much? Xu Hua asked.

As soon as he heard about business, the fat man's eyes instantly brightened, and he immediately said: "Three years ago, this bar told me more than 3 million, and although it is idle now, the value of the lot here is very expensive, and it is three times longer than three years ago." Officer Xu, if you want to win this store, it will be at least 10 million. ”

Xu Hua frowned, and suddenly laughed: "For the price of three million, I will buy it as it is." You won't be looking for another buyer but me. ”

"Officer Xu is really good at laughing, how can there be no buyer?" The fat man looked a little embarrassed and said with an unnatural expression.

Xu Hua stood up, still holding the wine glass that once contained the flames in his hand, and slowly walked outside the door: "This place is not clean, you already know it, otherwise you wouldn't have taken care of it for three years." You're here because the door is open, aren't you? Forget it, I don't have 10 million, 3 million can be scraped together, if you really want to sell it, find the third group of serious cases on the opposite side to find me. ”

The fat man didn't say a word, looking at Xu Hua's back with complicated eyes. Originally called the Drunken Time Bar, a brawl broke out three years ago that caused a fire that burned almost all the people in the bar to death.

After the fat man took over, he redecorated it and invited the bartender waitress at the bar, which was a very luxurious bar at the time. I thought I had picked up a big bargain, but after the opening, the fat man found that although the business in the bar was very hot, by the early morning of the next day, all the money collected had turned into dark money.

The fat man was very frightened, so he secretly invited a Taoist priest to suppress it, and as a result, that night, the Taoist priest invited to be drunk and drunk, and the money collected the next morning was still a dark coin.

The fat man did not give up, and personally stared at everyone that night to pay the bill, checking the authenticity of each money, but found nothing. But the next morning, the original banknote was still turned into a dark coin.

Day 4, Day 5! It wasn't until the sixth day that the fat man ran out of the bar early in the morning and never came back. On the seventh day, the bar closed and all the staff left.

The fat man is really scared, because every day the guests are the same, even the expressions are the same. Even the fat man saw a very beautiful bartender, smiling at him all the time.

But the fat man knew that there could never be such a bartender in his bar, so the answer was about to come out.

Now, after three years, the fat man has finally found a buyer, and this time he came back to take care of it. However, the price offered by the other party made the fat man feel like blood was dripping from his heart, only one million! And now, there is actually a receiver who wants to buy it for three million. It's pie-in-the-sky. But why is the pie thrower a policeman! Or a police officer from the Serious Crime Unit!

This point has to make the fat man think about it. Could it be that the case from three years ago is about to be reversed! But what does this have to do with you? I am an honest businessman, and this price is so attractive, but what if something happens, the other party is a policeman, not an ordinary policeman, but a policeman from the third group of serious crimes.

"Do you want a cup of flames?" Just when the fat man was hesitating, a very beautiful voice suddenly came from behind him.

The fat man's face turned pale instantly, the cold sweat on his forehead was like an unscrewed faucet, and he turned his head tremblingly, and saw a tall beautiful bartender standing next to the bar, looking at him with a smile.

"You! You, you haven't left yet! The fat man's voice was hoarse and his legs were weak.

"Sell him the bar for a million, is it okay?" The bartender said with a smile.

"Mom!" The fat man howled like a pig, turned his head and rushed out, and went straight to the serious crime team opposite.

The door of the serious crime team was open, but Xu Hua did not enter, he stood under the street lamp, looked up at a few white clouds in the sky, and leisurely lit a fire and lit a cigarette. Alcohol seems to come into play at this moment. Xu Hua felt that his head was a little stuffy!

"Officer Xu! Officer Xu, I'll sell it to you, sell it to you! A million, a million I'll sell you! The fat man on the other side ran out in embarrassment, and immediately howled like a pig at the first sight of Xu Hua.

Xu Hua glanced at the fat man with some doubts, his eyes had begun to blur, and then looked at the signature drunk time in the bar opposite! couldn't help but show a wry smile, and then sat down on the ground with a swaying body and was completely drunk.

Zhou Hao rested at home for a day, and the wounds on his body healed surprisingly quickly. In just one night, it was completely healed, and there was not even any wound to be seen.

Zhou Hao squinted his eyes, now that everything is over, he should do some of his own things, and the last clue at the beginning was Liu Yue'e's phone call, emphasizing eating fish hot pot every day.

In fact, Zhou Hao felt that he and Zhang Xiaofei had fallen into a blind spot, and it was not only the reservoir that would eat fish hot pot every day, and it was impossible to eat it every day. Then the only place where you can make fish hot pot every day is about to come out. A hot pot restaurant, and a hot pot restaurant based on fish and meat hot pot.

How to find it is even simpler, there is Baidu!

Zhou Hao picked up his mobile phone, opened the Baidu map, and typed in the words "fish hot pot". Immediately, hundreds of fish hot pots appeared on the map.

Zhou Hao was a little depressed, the East Gate is not a coastal city, and the aquatic products are also very single, why is this fish hot pot so popular!

Counting the twenty-three hot pot restaurants, if you want to find it, it is equivalent to going directly to Dongmen City. It is impossible without three or four days.

At present, three days have passed since Zhang Tiande's mission deadline, and if he can't find it in these four days, he may be in big trouble.

Zhou Hao is a cat after all, and if he wants to carry a mobile phone, he must wear clothes, and the only piece of clothing he has now is a police uniform tailored for him by Zhang Xiaofei in the third group.

Zhou Hao was naturally not picky, jumped on the bed, put on his clothes, and turned on the navigation of his mobile phone. Quietly walked out of the house.

The target of the first hot pot restaurant, Zhou Hao set in the vicinity of Duan Rong's residence.

Going out from the main gate of Duan Rong's house, about a street, there is a very small hot pot restaurant, only a dozen square meters. Zhou Hao quietly inquired inside, at the moment there was only one table in the restaurant chatting while eating, the boss was a team of husband and wife, laughing and watching TV while talking,

Everything looked very normal, but Zhou Hao still walked in cautiously, at least to see if there were any mysteries in the back kitchen.

The back kitchen of the hot pot restaurant is also very clean, and the table exudes the fragrance of finished food. A back door opened on the side of the back kitchen, Zhou Hao looked at the back door, and at this time, a pair of big feet suddenly stepped in and almost stepped Zhou Hao underneath.

Zhou Hao was clever and ran out from the side quickly.

I'll go! There's a cat here! It was a young man in his twenties who came in, and at this moment, he suddenly saw Zhou Hao wearing it out and seemed to jump, and complained.

"Oops! It's Xiaojin here! How about a copy as before? When the man heard the movement, he walked into the back kitchen and immediately greeted him warmly.

"Well, just take the cheapest one as it is." The young man replied, and then asked curiously: "Brother Quan, how can this kitchen get into the cat?" ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, how can I sit in the front hall all the time, and the doors and windows of the back kitchen are closed, how can there be a cat running in.

As he spoke, the boss lit a fire, boiled the base, and threw two pieces of fish and vegetables such as kelp, and packed them in front of the young man.

"That's it! Xiaojin, you have everything you want. But Xiao Jin, it's not me talking about you, three meals a day are easy to malnourish with this taste. It's best to change points often. The boss kindly persuaded him.

"Brother Quan, I'm going to change places, who will take care of your business?" Xiao Jin said with a smile, picked up the lunch box and turned to leave.

Zhou Hao listened to a clever outside, three meals of fish hot pot a day, how much he likes to eat, even if he likes to eat, he is tired of eating. There is something wrong with this man.

The young man known as Little Kim walked all the way, not noticing that there was a cat quietly following behind him.

Out of the hot pot restaurant, behind it is a shantytown, and most of the houses are waiting to be demolished. Rental prices here are also very cheap.

The young man, directly into this small shantytown, after sparing two laps, seemed to be observing the movements of the people around him, and in the end, he should not have found anything abnormal and walked back with a fish hot pot, and entered the nearest two-story building dozens of meters away.

Zhou Hao's four little short legs were almost broken, but he was spared back, and he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he couldn't let the other party take it back directly!

After the young man entered, Zhou Hao also wanted to follow into the small building, but the door was closed, directly blocking Zhou Hao outside.

Zhou Hao thought about it, even if there is a problem now, it is impossible for him to be of any use, if he transforms, he may be targeted by the people of the research institute again, and the only way now is to recover his strength as soon as possible.

Zhou Hao hadn't eaten anything for nearly two days, and when he was following around at this time, he suddenly felt hungry, and even his mind began to dizzy.

But what to eat is obviously in front of you, and more than ten meters behind you is the fish hot pot restaurant. There shouldn't be any problem rubbing a meal in the past.

So Zhou Hao turned around and went straight to the hot pot restaurant. There should be a new customer in the store. The boss and his wife were busy inside, and plates of semi-finished products were brought to the table. Zhou Hao's eyes were full of stars.

To be honest, Zhou Hao doesn't like to eat fish because there are many fish spines. You can't eat it like meat. But now, the aroma of the fish on the table made Zhou Hao's saliva water.

finally waited until the couple walked out of the back hall after they were busy, and it was already an hour later. Zhou Hao pushed the door open a gap with difficulty, jumped on the table, picked up a carp weighing more than a pound with his mouth, turned his head and ran.

It's not like nothing has been done before, but that was a long time ago. When he was a child, Zhou Hao often frequented the neighbor's fruit trees. I still remember how timid and excited I felt at that time. Today I can relive the feelings I felt at that time.

After taking the carp away for more than ten meters until a hidden corner of the second-story building, Zhou Hao stopped and ate it in a big gulp, but he just didn't have a few bites. Suddenly, I heard a strange whining sound beside me.

Zhou Hao's hair suddenly stood up, he turned his head and jumped up with a meow, and climbed along the wall to the windowsill more than a meter high. Below is a Pekingese dog, proudly biting his tail and stepping forward, directly holding Zhou Hao to eat the remaining fish, turning his head and leaving.

Zhou Hao wanted to cry without tears. What is this, even the dog is robbing himself of food. It's called the cat can't live anymore!

Zhou Hao was depressed, and saw the kitchen door of the hot pot restaurant opposite, the man took the stir-fry spoon, looked around, and soon saw Jingba who was munching on the fish proudly. Suddenly I was out of breath.

"Okay! I really thought it was the cat who transferred it, and the feelings were done by your dog, who dared to steal my things! "The man rolled up his sleeves and was about to be beaten.

Jingba was so frightened that he whined and screamed, threw down the fish and ran away.

Zhou Hao's heart was so cool, he looked at the Peking dog with sympathy, and comforted him in his mouth, he deserved it!

After all, the man still didn't rush out, and the woman behind him shouted: "Don't go, eat everything, you beat him, he still can't use it, forget it, just close the door next time." ”

Looking at most of the remaining fish on the ground, Zhou Hao smashed his mouth pitifully, but he didn't want to eat anything that had been eaten by dogs after all, who would be interested, if so, how much courage it would take, how miserable it would be to be hungry!

Zhou Hao was very hungry and miserable, but unfortunately he didn't have the courage to pick up what the dog had gnawed and continue to eat, looking at the window on the second floor, Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and climbed up along the wall. Falling into the balcony on the second floor, I cautiously walked into the room.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, and the bed is a table full of lunch boxes, and the floor is also very messy. Obviously, these people live without the slightest regularity and without the slightest concept of hygiene.
