Chapter 164 Jinjiang Debut
Lame Brother opened his mouth, seeming a little hesitant: "Of course I know your ability, but this case is special and there is a lack of evidence. How can you convict them?"
Bai Mian snapped his fingers: "It's my job to convict them. You just need to trust me."
Lame Brother looked back at Xu Hongdou beside him, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Bai Mian smiled and pointed at the shoulder bag in Que Ge's arms: "My pulse diagnosis is not free. As a reward, you have to give me this bag."
Lame Brother scratched his head and handed the heavy bag of knives to Bai Mian. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and asked nervously, "Does this count as attempted murder?"
Bai Mian smiled: "You have already given up your murder plan. You have not harmed anyone. It does not constitute a crime. Don't worry."
"That's good," Lame Brother patted his chest, "I was afraid that if I had a criminal record this time, my child wouldn't be able to take the civil service exam. You said that I would have a very cute child, and..."
As Lame Brother spoke, he secretly glanced at Xu Hongdou. Xu Hongdou stepped on him hard, and he finally behaved himself.
"Master, what should we do now?" Xu Hongdou asked Bai Mian cautiously.
Bai Mian looked at the two of them and said, "Hurry up and leave. This matter has nothing to do with you. The evildoers will get the punishment they deserve. None of you have been here tonight. Do you understand?"
Xu Hongdou and Que Ge quickly agreed. After thanking Bai Mian, they turned and walked out of the alley. The rain had stopped and the road was full of water. The moonlight illuminated the road brightly. When they walked in the puddles, it was like stepping on one moon after another.
Bai Mian noticed that when leaving this time, Lame Brother held Xu Hongdou's hand tightly.
After they left completely, Bai Mian looked down at the knives in her shoulder bag, then threw them all into the trash can. She would not need them for what she was going to do next.
Bai Mian's way of helping Lame Brother to get revenge is very simple. She wants to expose the brothers' crimes and have them sentenced, and the sentence must be death.
But before that, there is one more thing to do.
Bai Mian put on his hood, put his hands in his pockets, and walked to the end of the alley.
The brothers' restaurant was opened there, and because of Lame Brother's reservation, they had not closed yet. Lame Brother was late, and the two brothers were getting impatient waiting.
"Eat, eat, eat his mother!" Zhao Dabao picked up a kitchen knife and chopped the meat on the chopping board to vent his anger. "I've been waiting for so long and he still hasn't come. Was he hit by a car while crossing the road?"
Zhao Erbao lit a cigarette and patiently advised, "Don't chop it. The customers want to eat rabbit meat, not rabbit stuffing. Brother, you have to change your temper. You can't fight over a disagreement. We used to live well in Dongzhou City, but because of you last month..."
Zhao Dabao suddenly turned around and glared at his brother, with an expression on his face that seemed to say "If you mention it again, I'll chop you to pieces."
Zhao Erbao waved his hands in a pleading manner: "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, you have to change your temper. Now mom has used up her savings to open this store for us so that we can live a good life. You must not cause trouble again. When customers come later, you must not show them a bad face. If this store fails, we two brothers will really have nowhere to go."
Zhao Dabao slammed the kitchen knife down on the chopping board. "Are you done yet? You keep dithering like a woman. Second brother, when did you become so timid? It's just a death, and you're scared to death. Think about how many people we scared when we were in Qingshui Town. Who have I ever been afraid of?"
Zhao Erbao hurriedly stepped forward to cover Zhao Dabao's mouth and took away his kitchen knife: "Keep your voice down, are you afraid that others can't hear you? Our case hasn't been solved yet! My brother, things are different now. There are cameras everywhere. If you get caught, you'll be dead..."
As they were talking, a man wearing a gray top and a hood covering his face pushed the door and walked in.
The man lifted his hood and it was Bai Mian's face.
Seeing the person coming, Zhao Erbao smiled: "Hey, you are the guest who ordered food today, right? Come on, take a seat, everything has been prepared for you, look - our secret spicy hot pot base, freshly chopped rabbit meat, live rabbit brains, and three ways to eat rabbit cubs..."
Zhao Erbao introduced the dishes on the table diligently. While he was introducing, he kept glancing at Bai Mian's face intentionally or unintentionally. He had seen many beauties, but he had never seen anyone with such an extraordinary temperament as Bai Mian.
As he was speaking, Zhao Dabao interrupted him with a hoarse voice: "Wait, I remember the person who called to order the food was a man, how come it was a woman?"
Bai Mian glanced at them calmly: "I'm not here to eat."
Hearing her say this, Zhao Dabao immediately became alert: "Then what are you doing here?"
Bai Mian raised his hand: "I am your retribution."
