The headline of the morning newspaper is extremely eye-catching.

Akiri unfolded the newspaper and read it carefully.

[Brenda, an investigative reporter of this newspaper, was found by river cleaners in the Oak Bay River last night, and was dead when he was found, and the preliminary investigation was accidental drowning......]

Next to it is a photo, which is a photo of her work, in which Brenda has a sunny smile, and a sign hanging on her chest has a few words written on it, investigative reporter: Brenda.

Qiu Li vaguely remembers the words she said that day: "I'm going to be a hero!" ”

The corners of Qiu Li's eyes were slightly sour, she picked up the umbrella on the ground, put it in the bamboo basket at the door, returned to the bar, and made herself a cup of coffee, Not long after, Shen Scarlet also came.

She also put the umbrella into the basket next to her, stood up straight, patted the water droplets that fell on her body, and said with a smile: "There are always a few days a month when the rain does not stop, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

Akiri asked, "A cup of coffee?" ”

"Okay!" Shen Crimson seemed to be in a good mood, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Akiri made her a hot latte and turned into the kitchen, where a steaming slice of bread came out moments later, with butter and blueberry jam on the side.

The two of them sat at the round table and ate breakfast quietly, Qiuli's mind was still on Brenda's affairs, she still remembered the dinner, obviously Brenda was still alive, but she died the next day, plus she had an obsession that had not disappeared, this matter was strange.

What does the word "braid" mean when Brenda says at the end? Edit? Or is it someone with the surname Bian?

It's about under an oak tree in Oak Bay, and it's probably evidence of someone's crime, and whoever it points to, it's definitely going to be muddy waters.

The more Qiu Li thought about it, the more worried she became, Shen Scarlet couldn't help but ask, "Boss Qiu, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"You call me Qiu Li or Xiao Qiu, it's weird to call Boss Qiu." Qiu Li handed the newspaper to Shen Crimson with a sad face and said, "Look. ”

Shen Scarlet looked at it and asked with some confusion: "I look familiar with this little girl." ”

"She's been to our restaurant for coffee." Akiri thought that the familiar face she said meant this.

Shen Scarlet shook her head, she thought for a while and suddenly said: "When my daughter was in the hospital for a follow-up visit last month, I saw her, and she also brought a patient's family to come with her, and the matter was quite big, so I remembered it......"

Then she asked, "Why, has she ever been to our shop for coffee?" ”

Qiu Li thought about it, it seemed that Shen Scarlet happened to be working in the kitchen on the day she came, and they probably staggered.

"Tell me what happened at the hospital?" Qiu Li suddenly opened the heart of gossip.

"There is a chief doctor, the medicine died of people, she brought her family to investigate and interview the source of the medicine, and then it seemed that there was no evidence, and it was gone, alas, she looked still young, how could she fall into the river so accidentally......"

Qiu Li frowned, so there is one more suspect.

Just thinking about how to get this thing back, the mobile phone rang suddenly, she took out the phone and saw that it was Tao Yanru's phone, her voice was calm with a hint of excitement: "Xiaoqiu, come to my house for dinner at night, stay in my guest room, tomorrow morning I will ask the driver to send you back, no delay at all." ”

"Sister Tao, listening to your tone, it seems that there is something happy about it?" Qiu Li was inexplicably said by her call.

Hearing Bao'er's voice on the other end of the phone, Tao Yanru called him dotingly: "I'm calling your Aunt Qiu, don't make ...... trouble"

"I'm sorry, Xiaoqiu, Bao'er is next to him, he has a birthday today, he is clamoring to see you, tonight is a family banquet, you can wear casual clothes, the guest room is complete, you can come and live empty-handed, you don't have to bring anything."

"Okay, I miss him too, then I'll see you in the evening!" Qiuli is worried that there is no reason to go to Oak Bay, isn't Bao'er's operation just sleepy and someone handed a pillow?

"At 6 o'clock in the evening, I asked Xiao Zhang to pick you up downstairs in your mall." Tao Yanru saw her agree, and her mood became more comfortable.

After hanging up the phone, Akiri stretched and stood up, "I'll go to the kitchen and make a birthday cake for the children." ”

The fruit shops in Doyle also sell some seasonal fruits, but they don't taste very good, so most of the fruits here add a lot of sugar and make dried fruits for sale.

The only thing the game interface opened for her was the vegetable market in the mall, where the dishes were so rich that even she, a senior chef, had never seen them.

She bought a box of strawberries from the mall, and today she plans to make a strawberry cream cake, make a three-tiered one, even if there are more people, it will be enough to eat.

After Shen Crimson cleaned the store, she just straightened up and smelled the fragrance of cakes wafting from the kitchen.

She hadn't seen anyone delivering it, but the shelves were always full.

Everyone has secrets, and she has secrets herself, so she stood in front of the bar and began to patiently wipe each cup one by one with a dry cloth.

After a while, Qiu Li walked out with a small piece of cake inserted in a silver fork, and she smiled and instructed Shen Crimson: "Sister Shen, open your mouth." ”

At the entrance of the cake, Shen Crimson only felt a strong creamy aroma melt into her nose, and the fluffy cake in her mouth was mixed with sweet strawberries, vaguely reminding her of when she was a child, when her parents were there.

"Delicious!" She complimented, but the corners of her eyes turned red, and she lowered her head and continued to wipe the cup.

When Qiu Li heard her compliment, she immediately walked back to the kitchen with joy, and said as she walked, "Then I'll leave you a piece for afternoon tea." ”

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Zhang's driver came up on time, and Qiu Li took out the cake in his hand from the refrigerator, the cake had been bandaged, and a ribbon was tied with a bow on it.

The car drove smoothly in the rain, and Akiri was guarding the cake, and when she saw the river in front of her, she asked, "I heard that a reporter drowned in this river last night, and I saw this person at the dinner." ”

Xiao Zhang's hand holding the steering wheel shook for a moment, and he replied, "I don't remember." ”

"It's so pitiful, still so young." Qiu Li sighed.

She obviously saw a trace of sadness on Xiao Zhang's face, and Qiu Li asked, "Xiao Zhang, what is your full name?" ”

"My name is Zhang Bianjun."

Qiu Li was stunned and looked at him.

After Xiao Zhang finished saying his name, Qiu Li didn't ask any more questions, and both of them looked ahead in silence.

The car drove to No. 1 Oak Bay, this time not in the banquet hall, but behind the lawn where Akiri had seen Little Leaf before, there was a small white building hidden behind many oak trees.

Downstairs, Bao'er stood side by side with the housekeeper wearing gold-wire glasses, and when he saw Xiao Zhang's car, he immediately wanted to run out, but it was still raining outside, and he was stopped by the housekeeper reaching out.

The driver hurriedly got out of the car, took out an umbrella and opened the rear door, Qiu Li escorted the cake to the door, Qiu Li showed him the cake with a smile and said:

"Happy birthday, this is a cake made for you."

A boy about ten years old suddenly rushed in the rain, and he exclaimed, "This cake is so beautiful, I want it!" He pushed Bao'er away and threw herself at the cake in Qiuli's hand.
