Chapter 71: News
The noodle restaurant that Song Yimian is looking for is very popular, the room is very small, the tables inside and outside are full of customers, the voices are boiling, the kitchen behind the transparent glass window is constantly presented with noodles, the chefs are hanging towels around their necks, wearing transparent chef masks, turning the pot from time to time, and the fire spreads along the edge of the pot in an instant, straight to the roof.
"What are we?" Tao You and Song Yimian stood at the door of the noodle restaurant, avoiding the waiters who kept coming in and out, holding the bowls.
"Twenty-one, there's an empty seat over there, let's go over." Song Yimian pointed to a table in the noodle restaurant that had just been cleaned up.
Inside, the fan blows away the heat from the back kitchen, and the news is playing on the TV.
"Twenty-one!" Thinking that the waiter was holding two bowls of noodles in his hands, his eyes were looking around, and he shouted at the top of his voice in the noise, "The 21st is not there?!" Twenty-one! ”
"Here." Song Yimian raised his hand.
The waiter put down the two bowls of noodles and said with a smile, "Add spicy pork rib noodles, shredded pork noodles with pickled cabbage, use slowly." ”
Tao You licked the mouth of his upper lip, looking at the bowl of pork ribs full of red oil in front of him in embarrassment, and he couldn't get out of his mouth. She raised her eyes to look at Song Yimian's bowl of sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles in clear soup, the sauerkraut flavor was mixed with the aroma of meat, smelling it made people's mouths water, and suddenly felt that the clear soup noodles were also very delicious, she saw that Song Yimian was about to poke it in with chopsticks, and hurriedly said: "Song Yimian, don't you think it's good to change the taste sometimes, the meaning of life is to keep trying, and you will find that new things will surprise you......"
Song Yimian's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and for a second he understood what Tao You was thinking: "I want to eat my bowl of noodles." ”
Tao You smiled and nodded: "Look, my mouth is not injured, it is definitely not okay to eat spicy food at this time, you are rare to be a good person, change it with me, just so you can try the new flavor, the pork rib noodles are really delicious with spicy, I guarantee that you will eat it once and want to eat it a second time." ”
Tao You said while quietly changing the bowl, seeing that Song Yimian did not refute, thinking that he was acquiescing, who would have thought, the next second Song Yimian held her hand to make small movements, pulled it away with a smile, moved the noodles back in front of him, looked at Tao You with both eyes, stirred the noodles with his right hand, saw Tao You's disappointed look, and said, "I have never been a good person in your eyes?" ”
"I don't like spicy food," he let go of the hand holding Tao You, "If you think the wound will hurt when you touch it, then go and order a bowl of non-spicy food, in fact, there is such a wound on your mouth, it will not affect it at all." ”
Tao You pursed her lips, she was not so pretentious, took a pair of chopsticks, stirred evenly, picked up a noodle and sucked it into her mouth, chewed, it didn't seem to be so spicy, she could accept it, so she boldly stuffed a full chopstick into her mouth, she was really hungry, the green vegetables covered with chili oil entered her throat, Tao You swallowed the noodles in her mouth, coughed violently, fine sweat broke out from the tip of her nose, and in a few seconds, the spicy smell filled her entire throat, she hurriedly took out a drink from the bag on the side and poured a few sips, then she eased up, wiped her face with a tissue, and just picked up the chopsticks, And she heard someone calling her.
"Xiaoyou, what a coincidence, I also met you when I went on a business trip, and I met you when I came back." Boss Tong walked over from the other side, wiped his mouth with a tissue, with a just right smile, carrying a red backpack, a black baseball cap, and a black mask hanging from his chin.
He also noticed Tao You's coughing voice...
"Why is your face so red, can't you eat spicy?" Boss Tong cared about Tao You as always, and frowned and glanced at the noodles in front of Tao You, "I'll order you another bowl of noodles, don't eat this bowl, girls don't eat too much spicy." ”
Tao You frowned slightly, glanced at him and lowered his head, and decisively refused: "No, this bowl is very good." ”
At this time, the news on TV began to report: "Yesterday, the body of a young woman appeared in Jintong Lane, Lianhuan County, Wujiang District, Qingcheng, and the local police are nervously investigating and collecting evidence......"
The people in the restaurant are all looking at the TV, and now that the customers are reduced, the empty waiter leans against the table and looks up at the news on the TV, as if many people are particularly concerned about this kind of news.
In the picture, the scene of the crime is at the innermost part of this alley, this is a dead alley, there is only one entrance, the periphery is surrounded by a red cordon, and many reporters outside the cordon rushed to the scene as soon as possible, reporting to the camera, and many passers-by are around
Outside, looking inward, taking pictures with mobile phones, several police cars parked on the side of the road, the police lights on the roof of the cars are constantly flashing blue and red, the police and forensic doctors perform their duties and carry out their work in an orderly manner, the camera zooms in, the body is full of mosaics, but it can be seen that the clothes on the body are blue, and there is a pool of blood around the body.
"It's scary that there are still things like this."
"There's definitely something going on, it's just not reported before."
"You guess she died because of something, I guess it was love killing, and now there are too many people who are tired of living because of relationship problems." A young man in a plaid shirt and beach pants who was eating noodles with his legs crossed spoke.
"Oh, young man, don't say it for sure, it could be because of a vendetta, or provoked some unclean person, it doesn't look like suicide at all." An aunt retorted in the Weicheng dialect.
......
Everyone talked about this news, and Tao You couldn't take her eyes off the TV, this was the first time she had seen a case that happened around her in her life.
The boss who was standing on the side raised his eyes to look at the news like everyone else, but the emotions in his eyes were a little different, he looked at it for a few minutes, lowered his head and pressed the brim of his hat, put on a mask, and said to Tao You: "Xiaoyou, you eat slowly, I'll go first, don't eat if you can't eat spicy, and it won't cost much to order a bowl again." ”
"Come to the bookstore when you have time." After Boss Tong finished speaking, without waiting for Tao You's response, he hurriedly pushed the door and went out.
Song Yimian raised his vigilance the moment Boss Tong came over, all the emotional changes of Boss Tong were seen in his eyes, and at the moment when the news report came out, he clearly saw a trace of reluctance and regret in Boss Tong's eyes, but he couldn't understand why, did this victim have anything to do with him? Or maybe he thought too much, maybe he had encountered something similar and touched the scene? He thought about waiting for the boss to leave the store before turning his eyes to look at the TV again.
After Tao You returned home, Tao's father and Tao's mother had already taken a nap, the house was very quiet, there was a bird's cry outside the window, she gently closed the door, there were a few dishes on the table, covered with a cover, and there was a note left on the table: Xiaoyou, this is for you, Dad burned the braised chicken wings you like to eat, if you don't eat, heat up these dishes, and the rice is in the rice cooker. Your mother's attitude was a little anxious just now, but she was also worried about you, no matter what she said, she was your mother, you can't talk to her like this, you have figured it out and apologized to her.
Tao You slowly folded the note a few times and put it into the pocket of her clothes, she looked at the chicken wings on the table that exuded an attractive red color, touched her round belly, and went back to the room.
"Little Youyou, have you watched the news?" After going to school on Monday, Hong Xiqi rushed into the classroom and said this to Tao You.
In the past two days, the murder case in Qingcheng has been spreading, every time the news will report the progress, there are many netizens on the Internet who have launched different speculations, when Tao You came to school, he also heard many classmates discussing this matter, because the identity of the victim was determined, it was a high school junior in Wujiang District, Qingcheng, and he was going to take the college entrance examination in less than a month.
"See." Tao You raised his eyebrows, "Weibo's hot searches are all this news." ”
Hong Xiqi said excitedly: "It's the first time I've seen these reports in real life, eh, why do you think she died?" ”
Tao You pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't know, just wait for the final report from the police." ”
"Chen Lian, what's wrong with your face?" Chen Lian's table mate suddenly spoke out, causing her classmates to look at them, "Why is it so green?" ”
Chen Lian was so frightened that she hurriedly covered half of her face with her hair, and stammered: "No, it's okay, I accidentally bumped into it myself." Her eyes dodged, as if she was hiding something.
Hong Xiqi shut up and slapped Tao You's arm, her eyes signaled to her, Tao You also saw Chen Lian's reaction, but there was no excessive reaction, she didn't have the habit of meddling.
"Chen Lian, come to the office." The head teacher walked into the classroom solemnly and called Chen Lian away.
In the classroom, the moment Chen Lian walked out, there was a lot of noise, and there was a guess of anything.
"You see, I've long said she's been wrong lately." Hong Xiqi said.
The head teacher turned back, patted the classroom door, swept the class with a stern look, and said, "Quiet, take care of your own self-study in the morning, I can hear your voice in the office!" ”
"Morning." Gu Yi and Song Yimian walked into the classroom back and forth.
"Take it." Gu Yi handed the paper bag in his hand to Hong Xiqi.
"What's that?" Hong Xiqi opened the bag suspiciously, and after seeing the contents clearly, his eyes widened and he looked at Gu Yi in disbelief, "Ice cream rolls, vanilla rolls, blueberry rolls!" These are all new products of Miracle Bannuo, I haven't bought them all after buying them so many times, where did you come from?! ”
Gu Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, cleared his throat, and said, "My mother gave it to me, but I don't like to eat these, so I'll give it to you, it's cheap for you." ”
"Thank you!" Hong Xiqi thanked him sincerely, turned his head to look around, secretly took out an ice cream roll, slowly opened it, lowered his head and took a quick bite, and hooked the corners of his lips with satisfaction, "Xiao Youyou, you eat it too." She handed the bag to Tao You.
"No need." Tao You shook his hand and declined, "I have a full breakfast, you haven't wanted to eat for a long time, eat quickly." ”
Gu Yi grinned and looked at Hong Xiqi, seeing that she couldn't wait, the corners of her mouth were still stained with cream, handed her a tissue, and said, "Is it really so delicious?" ”
Hong Xiqi nodded, hugged the bag vigilantly, puffed out his cheeks and said, "You have already given it to me, so you can't go back." ”
"I didn't rob you, eat slowly." In Gu Yi's tone, there was a hint of pampering unconsciously.
