Chapter 5: Ranch
It's a pasture with hundreds of sheep in the sheepfold.
If the wind is fine now, I will definitely go to the green pasture.
But now it's late autumn, the pastures are unsheltered, and the wind is blowing so hard that people can't open their mouths.
To be honest, this kind of weather, our plan to pretend to be a tour group doesn't feel very wise. So, we had a brief discussion on the way and decided to change the tour group to a self-drive tour, and the purpose was very clear, to eat roast whole sheep.
The serious crime team came to Pingchen City, how can the Pingchen City police do their best to do their best to be a landlord, and the specialty of Pingchen City is roasted whole sheep.
After hearing this proposal, Tao Junhao, the captain of the criminal police, looked at his wallet, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Roast the whole sheep, roast the whole sheep!" ”
There were cheers from the bus.
But then, Tao Junhao added: "Don't mess around for a while, you can issue invoices, I still have to find Zhang Bureau for reimbursement." ”
At the same time, the hard-working Jiang Tingbai had already led the technical team to the site of the corpse dumping in the mountain pass, and he had always been the most greedy but he had no luck this time.
I don't know if he sensed something, or because the temperature in the col was a little low in late autumn, he sneezed three times in a row.
The bus stopped at the edge of the ranch, and sure enough, there was a farmhouse restaurant.
There were 10 of us on this trip, and as soon as we got off the bus, we felt the greeting from the pasture, and the cold wind from the depths of the ranch hit us in the face like a knife.
Let's can't help but fight a cold war.
The first thing everyone did when they got off the bus was to take pictures, because they had to do a full set of plays.
I don't have the heart to take pictures, I just want to get in and get warm now.
"Boss! Boss! Let's have a pot of hot water! I was the first to rush into the hotel and shouted.
But what I didn't expect was that the inside of the house was not much warmer than the outside, and the inside of the house was even colder than the outside.
In the empty restaurant, there was no one, let alone the boss, not even a waiter.
"Anyone?" I kept blowing on my opponent to get my frozen hands back up.
"Anyone?!" Li Meng, who ran into the house after me, also kept stomping his feet on the spot, and at the same time raised his voice and roared.
After a while, Tao Junhao and other criminal policemen also ran into the house, and everyone was sizzling, looking like they were all frozen.
In fact, for this season, the temperature in Pingchen City is very normal, but now we are deep in a wilderness and wilderness, the same endless pasture is unobstructed, the cold wind directly hits people's bodies, and the kind of cold that invades the bone marrow is indescribable.
"What's the situation?" Tao Junhao asked.
I looked at my watch, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not very late, how could there be no one in the hotel?
We are all criminal policemen, and this time we are here with a mission, so out of the keen intuition of the criminal police, we all instantly became alert, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the gun on our waists.
"Boss! Boss! Tao Junhao opened his throat and shouted vigorously.
The sound echoed through the room, making the room even quieter.
If there is really any illegal and criminal situation suspected here, and Sun Yanhan's death is also related here, then our move to investigate the situation today is very likely to expose something.
But I looked around the situation in the house, there were seven men and three women on our trip, all of whom were carefully selected by Tao Junhao from the criminal police team, and we had just entered the house this time, and we had not communicated with anyone yet, so it was impossible to expose it.
It's weird, it's really weird here.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously protected Li Meng behind me and vigilantly observed the environment here.
Tao Junhao couldn't help but get nervous, but he still pretended to be relaxed and kept rubbing his hands, pacing around the room, looking at the recipes on the table for a while, looking at the cashier at the front desk, and then walking to the back kitchen by himself.
I stood there and reached out to wipe the table next to me, which already had a layer of floating ash.
"It looks like this restaurant hasn't been visited for a long time." Li Meng muttered behind me.
"The fact that the restaurant is open all the time is open even though no one is patronizing it, so one thing is that the shop doesn't expect to survive on the income of the hotel." I wiped the dust off my hands and said seriously.
"Where's the boss? Where is the boss? The boss is there......" Tao Junhao walked towards the back kitchen while humming a little song, and the moment he opened the curtain of the back kitchen, he saw a face.
Tao Junhao was so frightened that he subconsciously reached out to touch the gun, but when he just had this thought, he controlled himself in time, and then shouted: "Damn." ”
Then he took a few steps back in fright.
A bald man lifted the curtain of the kitchen door and walked out.
The bald man had a fleshy face, a bald head, and a tattoo on his neck.
On such a cold day, he only wore a single coat.
"Eat." The bald man was expressionless and asked coldly.
Tao Junhao and I looked at each other.
Next, Tao Junhao said lightly: "Yes, eat, why do you come to the restaurant without eating?" Pickled girls? ”
The bald man didn't pay attention to Tao Junhao's jokes, still expressionlessly took out a box of Huazi from his pocket, lit one for himself, and said coldly, "What to eat?" ”
"Come to the ranch to eat, of course you eat roasted whole sheep." Tao Junhao said with a smile.
"Roast whole lamb?!" The bald man frowned suddenly, this was the only expression he had shown so far.
"That's right, roast whole sheep." Tao Junhao nodded.
"Wait." The bald man left a word, turned around and walked towards the back kitchen.
"Boss, bring me a pot of hot water!" Tao Junhao shouted at the back of the bald man.
The bald man didn't stop, just said coldly as he walked, "Wait." ”
It usually takes three hours to roast a whole lamb, but instead of booking in advance, we are going to spend three hours doing a brief survey of the farm.
"It's a little weird." Tao Junhao got up and walked over to me and whispered to me.
I nodded, affirmed his words, and then said: "This hotel is so deserted, it looks like no one has been patronizing for a long time, and the cigarette he smokes is still Huazi." ”
"Also, we're here to eat, not to ask for debts, look at his love and ignorance." Li Meng also muttered in a low voice.
"He's not going to drug our food, is he?" Tao Junhao muttered suddenly.
I shook my head and said in a deep voice: "Probably not, there are so many of us, and we haven't shown any flaws, although this ranch doesn't rely on restaurants to make money, it's not really Sun Erniang's cross slope." ”
