Chapter 75: Wrong
Zhou Ningyue didn't think so much, and said with a smile: "I know." Dad didn't believe this, so he would definitely discipline me when he heard about it. β
"Yes, men don't believe much in that." told her daughter, Zhou's mother looked tired, "Mother sleep for a while, you can also go back to the room to sleep." β
Zhou Ningyue left, and the room was quiet, but Zhou's mother tossed and turned without sleep.
On the way back to the bookstore, Xin Yu and Ji Cailan walked together for a while, and quietly inquired: "Sister Zhou's family has just come from other places, will their Mid-Autumn Festival be different from the local customs?" β
Ji Cailan immediately came to talk: "I heard my cousin say that there is some difference between the north and the south, and the moon cakes they eat in the south are meat filling." β
Speaking of this, Ji Cailan's face couldn't help but show disgust.
The moon cakes obviously want to eat bean paste, jujube paste, and five kernels, and the meat moon cakes are simply crooked!
"Meat mooncakes?" The combination of spicy grapefruit reveals a strange color.
Seeing her like this, Ji Cailan seemed to have found a soulmate: "Strange, right?" β
Xin Yu nodded: "It's really different from what we are used to." β
"More than that! Cousin, they not only eat meat filling for moon cakes in the south, but also salty zongzi, spring rolls are also salty, but tofu brains are eaten with sugar! Sister Kou, can you imagine sweet tofu brain? β
Xin Yu shook his head from the goodness: "It's unimaginable." β
In fact, not only could she imagine, but she ate deliciously.
Of course, Aunt Xia is delicious in any kind of dish, all over the world, fried and fried. So she is accustomed to eating both sweet and salty.
"Then wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival, is Sister Zhou used to eating sweet mooncakes?"
"In the early years, my uncle was in the capital, and he would definitely be able to eat it, but over the years, he has been used to eating salty food, and it is better to have meat mooncakes. Two days ago, I also told my cousin that there is a dim sum shop not far from Jixiangfang, and there are not only common mooncakes but also meat mooncakes sold on these days of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. My cousin said that she would buy some when the time came, and she wouldn't let me mention it to my aunt and uncle, saying that she wanted to surprise them. β
Xin Yu couldn't wait to give Ji Cailan a hug.
How can there be such a caring girl.
She showed surprise on her face: "Is there also meat mooncakes sold in the capital?" β
"Yes, that dim sum shop is called Wuxiang Zhai, and there was no meat mooncake to sell, it is said that the wife of the young owner is from the south, and then he sells meat mooncakes. Business is actually not bad, and most of the customers are southerners. β
Ji Cailan's disgusted look when she mentioned "business is good" was too obvious, which made Xin Yu bend her lips unconsciously.
When standing at the intersection and parting, Ji Cailan took Xin Yu's hand and reluctantly: "Sister Kou, you have been in the bookstore, right?" I'll go back and play with you. β
"I'm usually here on non-New Year's and non-festivals, and Sister Ji can go to me at any time."
Back at the bookstore, Xin Yu explained to Mama Fang: "There is a dim sum shop called Wuxiang Zhai near Jixiangfang, nurse, you go and inquire about the specific location." β
With the name of the store and the approximate location, it sounded very easy, and it didn't take long for Mama Fang to report the information to Xin Yu.
"The shop is separated from Jixiangfang by two streets, on the side of the road, the business is very prosperous, and it closes early in the afternoon when the snacks are sold out......"
Mama Fang's words also verified Xin Yu's inference that the murder occurred in the morning.
This night, Xin Yu didn't sleep well, and thought about the Mid-Autumn Festival action over and over again in her heart.
She probably figured out the layout of Zhou's house, and when she went to see Zhou's mother today, she was in the East House, and the layout was not the same as what she saw in the picture, and only the West House was left in the place where the crime occurred.
There are three main rooms in the Zhou family, and the west house is connected to the hall house, and there is no place to hide in the hall. It is even more inappropriate under the window outside the house, and if the time is not grasped well, it will be discovered by Zhou Ningyue who came back from outside.
After thinking about it, the most suitable hiding place is on the beam of the West Winghouse, and it seems that she is going to be a "gentleman on the beam" again.
With a plan, Xin Yu fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, she nested in the east courtyard, and the stone ran over from the front to deliver something, which turned out to be Wuxiangzhai's dim sum.
"It was sent by your friend, that Miss Ji."
Seeing that Xin Yu was about to go to see Ji Cailan, Shi Shi hurriedly said: "Miss Ji heard that you were in the East Courtyard, put down the dim sum and left, saying that she was going to another place and happened to pass by here, so I will send you the dim sum by the way, so that you can taste whether you like it or not." β
Xin Yu opened the snack box and took a few pastries to the stone: "You and Liu Zhou can also taste it." β
For children like Shishi, who have a hard time, dim sum is a good thing that can't be eaten during the New Year.
"Thank you, owner." The little boy took the snack and left happily.
Xin Yu sat quietly for a while, picked up a piece of peach-shaped dim sum, put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly.
The dim sum was soft and sweet, and the taste was very good, but her heart was not soaked in sweetness.
After eating a piece of dim sum, Xin Yu sighed slightly.
Even if the ending of Zhou's mother being killed is changed, it is inevitable that the couple will turn against each other, and they don't know how the cousins Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue should get along.
As for her friendship with the two...... It's a friendship built on falsehood, and thinking too much is asking for trouble.
In a blink of an eye, on August 14, Xin Yu went to the bookstore in front of him and went out, heading in the direction of Wuxiangzhai.
She wanted to go and see it in advance so that she could estimate the distance from Zhou's house to the dim sum shop.
As Ji Cailan said, Wuxiang Zhai is really not far from Jixiangfang, and Xin Yu walked slowly over because he was not in a hurry, and there was already a long queue there.
This family's dim sum is really popularβXin Yu flashed this thought, and his feet slammed down.
Why is Zhou Ningyue in the team?
A moon-white shirt, a lilac-colored pleated skirt, and a small basket in her hand...... Zhou Ningyue's dress is exactly the same as in the picture.
Xin Yu looked at the beautiful girl in the queue, and her heart sank suddenly.
Wrong!
The time in that picture turned out to be not the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but August 14!
Xin Yu couldn't be annoyed and inferred that something was wrong, and walked quickly towards Zhou Ningyue.
"Sister Kou?" Seeing Xin Yu, Zhou Ningyue was quite surprised, "Do you also know this dim sum shop?" β
"That day, I heard Sister Ji say that this dim sum shop tasted good, and I thought that I was going to buy a few dim sum to bring back to my grandfather's house for the holidays." Xin Yu explained, holding Zhou Ningyue's hand, "I can see Sister Zhou, you can't buy dim sum." β
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ningyue was confused.
Xin Yu pulled Zhou Ningyue to walk in the direction of Zhou's house, and said in a low voice: "I look at Sister Zhou's face, it is a sign of danger, and it is close at hand. β
Referring to her parents, Zhou Ningyue immediately thought of Xin Yu's words that day when she said that her mother had a bloody disaster, and couldn't help but change her face: "My mother-"
She didn't need to pull it anymore, she ran home with her skirt.
Xin Yu silently chased after him.
Zhou Ningyue was worried that something would happen to her parents, so she ran fast, but it still took a quarter of an hour to run to the door of the house.
The door of Zhou's house was closed, but it was not locked, Zhou Ningyue pushed open the door and rushed in, heading straight to the hall.
