After a while, the dishes came up, and a few people started to eat and drink like crazy again.
After about ten minutes of eating, the table with their backs to me finished eating. The proprietress called out to the man with her back to me, "Shengzi," familiarly, and deftly placed the freshly cooked dishes in a lunch box and handed it to him. The actors were still shouting and cursing, but their eyes were fixed on the two people at that table.
The big guy hit the empty wine bottle with his foot, and the bottle fell to the ground with a "bang" and turned several times, making a harsh sound.
Everyone turned their heads to look towards the source of the sound, including the two people, who also looked over in response.
This time I finally got the chance to see clearly that the man named "Shengzi" who was eating with his back to me was the second male lead in the portrait.
Finally found it!
All the "actors" seemed to have been injected with stimulants in an instant, and they performed so hard that they wished that rocks could break off their chests.
At this time, the proprietress collected the money from Shengzi's table, and the two of them stood up and left with their lunch boxes.
Do you want to follow or not?
These two people have a strong sense of anti-tracking. If they find someone following them, they will definitely run away, so don't follow them for now. Now that you have found someone who knows them, ask around first.
After Shengzi left for a while, he called the proprietress, who had just taken a break from her busy schedule, aside, showed her ID, and started asking about Shengzi.
According to the proprietress, Shengzi lived in an alley not far from here and had several friends living with him. One of them also loved spicy food and often came to their restaurant to eat. They even chatted and found out that they were from the same hometown.
I forgot what it was called. The restaurant is so busy every day that I don’t really care what the customers are called.
The big guy took out both pictures of the men in the portrait and showed them to the boss lady for identification. As soon as she opened the pictures, she pointed at the second man in the picture and said, "Isn't that Shengzi?"
Then he looked at the picture of the male protagonist and pointed and said, "This is the friend of Shengzi I told you about. He and I are from the same hometown."
Good, good, finally there is some hope.
No one was eating at this hour, not a single customer, so the restaurant was simply closed. Someone took notes from the proprietress, writing down everything she knew about Shengzi.
The proprietress then described in detail the dining habits of Shengzi and his fellow villager, who loved spicy food, and all the activities they usually went through during their visits. She mentioned that Shengzi, though quiet, was very kind and often helped clean the restaurant, while his fellow villager, on the other hand, was quiet and reserved, but he loved spicy food and had a huge appetite, always packing up several dishes and rice to take home after each meal.
The big guy analyzed that it was not because he had a big appetite, but because there were people at home who were unable to come out and had not eaten.
The owner also revealed that Shengzi and his friends seemed to be engaged in some kind of special work, as their schedules were irregular. Sometimes they came at 2 or 3 in the afternoon and said they hadn't eaten all day, while other times they came early in the morning. Shengzi also seemed to be in a fairly good financial situation, as evidenced by their clothing and the dishes they ordered.
Every time, two or three people would order four or five dishes, which was quite luxurious.
This information was undoubtedly an important clue for the "actors." The big guy hurried back to the hotel to find the boss and report the latest situation.
As night fell and the city's neon lights began to flicker, the police officers split into several groups. Some went to the nearby neighborhood committee to check on the residents, while others went to the nearby convenience stores to investigate. Together, they conducted a sweeping search of several nearby alleys.
