Chapter 163: Teasing
When Xiong Qiang went downstairs, there was no business in the restaurant at this time, only the customers who were here were scattered in all corners and eating breakfast.
Tang Bao'er sat at a table in the center, there was no food in front of her, and when Xiong Qiang walked up to her, he still had a shallow smile on his face, and his dark and bright eyes flashed with a burning light.
At that time, he had already noticed that until this time, Tang Bao'er's face was still angry, but he seemed to be unconscious, carrying the pot, taking the cup, and then slowly sifting a cup of tea for himself.
"The tea is good!" Xiong Qiang smacked his mouth a few times, squinted his eyes a little intoxicated, and said.
Tang Bao'er glanced at Xiong Qiang, took a cold breath, and seemed to say something, but in the end he held back.
"Do you want a cup to clear your stomach?" Xiong Qiang opened a cup again, sifted a cup of tea, and approached Tang Bao'er with a smile.
"Xiong Qiang, I don't have time to talk to you!" Tang Bao'er took the tea from Xiong Qiang's hand, put it on the table heavily, and said angrily.
"Oh, why is the eldest lady so free today, ask me to have breakfast?"
Tang Bao'er was almost going crazy, and said, "Xiong Qiang, what are you pretending to be polite? Do you think this is elegant?"
"Okay!" Xiong Qiang cleared his throat, then slapped his hand on the table, and said loudly: "Little Er, bring a plate of beef and two horns of wine to the uncle!"
After speaking, Xiong Qiang patted the dust on the stool next to him, put his foot on the stool, smiled at Tang Bao'er, and said, "This is bold enough!"
calmed down the anger that was about to erupt in his heart, Tang Bao'er took a few heavy breaths and said, "Xiong Qiang, please be serious once, I don't have time to joke with you now, you go to a place with me, I have something very important." After speaking, Tang Bao'er stood up and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.
"Early in the morning, didn't you invite me to have breakfast?
"You don't have to be wordy!"
He followed Tang Bao'er all the way through the bustling crowd, crossed a few more streets, and finally stopped at the door of an inn called Fuxiang.
Xiong Qiang followed behind Tang Bao'er with some doubts, and also walked in.
As soon as he walked into the inn, a young man in his twenties walked over, waved at Tang Bao'er, and said, "Miss, why are you here?"
Tang Bao'er looked at this thin and weak young man in his twenties and said, "Ah San, where is Chief Tang Tong?"
"Miss, I haven't seen Mr. Tang Tong for two days. Ah San said.
"Two days, where did he go?"
"This subordinate doesn't know. Ah San said.
"You've been following Tang Tong, didn't he tell you where he went?" asked Tang Yan'er.
Ah San looked at Tang Bao'er, his eyes were rolling, he really didn't know why this eldest lady suddenly cared so much about Manager Tang, if it was in the past, if she had to ask Tang Tong for help, she would never have stepped into Tang Tong's place for half a step. It is precisely because of this that Tang Tong saw that Tang Bao'er lived in Jinyu Restaurant, so he insisted on not living in Jinyu Restaurant.
"Is the eldest lady looking for Manager Tang for something important?" Ah San asked cautiously while looking at his face.
Tang Bao'er said: "There is something to ask him, but unfortunately he is not here, when have you not seen him?"
Ah San seemed to be caught in his memories, but soon he remembered it and said: "The day before yesterday, he went to the Jinyu Restaurant, the murder scene where Tang Yu was killed, and after returning to the inn, I never saw him again. ”
"He went to Jinyu Restaurant again?"
Ah San said: "Yes, just accompanied by me, he went three times, each time it seemed that he was looking for something, I think he should be trying to find some clues from the murder scene of Chief Tang Yu, right?"
"I see, take me to Manager Tang's room to have a look!" Tang Zhuang'er said again.
"Miss, this ...... I'm afraid this is inappropriate! Manager Tang's room has always been forbidden for people to enter at will. ”
"Oh? Does he still have any secrets? You don't have to worry about this, Manager Tang came back and asked, I have to bear it. Tang Bao'er said coldly.
"This ......" Obviously, Ah San was a little afraid of Tang Tong, so he was still a little hesitant.
"Don't lead the way!" Tang Bao'er's voice raised a little, and his face showed a little displeasure.
Ah San saw that the situation was not right, and he didn't dare to provoke this Tangmen's aunt and grandmother again. I could only bow down and say, "Yes!"
Ah San led the way in front, watching Tang Bao'er's actions, Xiong Qiang had gradually guessed the purpose of Tang Bao'er's visit. Following behind Tang Bao'er and entering Tang Tong's room, Tang Bao'er retreated Ah San.
There is a desk in the room, on the table are the four treasures of the study, and there is a coffee table and the like, as the inn number of the room, the space here is very large, and almost everything is complete. Seeing that it was neatly organized, Tang Bao'er said slowly after a long time: "You must have guessed the purpose of me letting you come here, right?"
"Do you suspect that the fake Xiaoyaozi is Tang Tong, do you want to come here to collect some evidence?" Xiong Qiang reined in the previous hippie smile and became serious.
Tang Bao'er paced in the room, carefully examining everything in it, but said: "I don't want to hide it from you, in fact, I sent Mei'er to test Tang Tong last night, because yesterday in the eastern suburbs of Jining, the fake Xiaoyaozi had fought with Mei'er, and was injured by Mei'er's shoulder, if Tang Tong was really the fake Xiaoyaozi, then he must have an injury on his shoulder, but unfortunately, Mei'er pounced." When I asked today, Tang Tong had indeed disappeared at the time you were attacked, and he had not appeared until now. ”
"So you suspect he has absconded?" Xiong Qiang said.
"Yes, from the secret meeting between him and you in the east of the grove to the matter of the wilderness in the eastern suburbs, everything of this kind shows that he is very suspicious, and the reason why I brought you here is to see if there are any clues to follow in his room. If he is really a fake Xiaoyaozi, no matter how careful his mind is, there will inevitably be times when he is negligent. Tang Bao'er said.
"Although all the speculations you said are reasonable, if there is no definite evidence, then all this is just your imagination, and it is difficult to convince Tang Tongxin. Xiong Qiang said lightly.
"Listen to what you mean, it seems that you don't doubt Tang Tong?"
Xiong Qiang smiled, there seemed to be a hint of desolation and bitterness in that smile, and said quietly: "What it feels like to be framed, I have a deep understanding. Although I also doubt Tang Tong, I need to find evidence to support my conjecture first. ”
Tang Bao'er didn't seem to hear Xiong Qiang's words, at this time she had already walked to the desk and opened an incense burner burning spices on the desk.
"Is this paper ash that burned paper?" Tang Bao'er said with some surprise.
Hearing this, Xiong Qiang also walked over, and sure enough, he saw that there was a thick layer of ashes in the incense burner. Xiong Qiang pushed aside the ashes, there were still paper corners that had not completely turned into ashes, and gently picked up the paper corners, but Tang Bao'er said: "This should be the corner of the envelope, it seems that Tang Tong is burning things like letters." Is he trying to hide something?"
