Chapter 101 Soup and Ghost Stories



A case that was thought to last for several months or even half a year was suddenly solved.

It was like a tangled mess that was cut off by someone with a single knife. It felt so good. It was also so sudden

. Of course, it felt good mainly. No detective wants his or her case to be a mess. Everyone wants to have a big knife that can cut off all the unsolved cases in the world anytime and anywhere. I hope that all murderers can be caught immediately and all cases can be solved immediately. Every time a meteor flies by, Liu Jiaming wishes for peace in the world and that every case will be solved quickly! After experiencing the miraculous detection of the corpse case in the blink of an eye, Brother Jiaming seems to have begun to believe in miracles. Maybe, what his mother had told him about his life being smooth and meeting noble people was true. "After investigation, it was found that Mr. Fang drove for a freight company like Liu Dahong two years ago. Later, Mr. Fang had a car accident and his driver's license was revoked, so he had to change jobs. Liu Dahong saved money and bought his own car." After being happy about his fate, Liu Jiaming turned his attention back to the meeting and reported the information he had found to Mr. Fang. "Based on the testimony of the neighbors and the housekeeper of Fuk Ai Estate, it can be judged that the relationship between Liu Dahong and Mrs. Fang should have lasted for more than two years. The more frustrated Mr. Fang's career was, the more frequent Mrs. Fang's secret appointments with Liu Dahong became." Fu also spoke out the clues he had found. "The neighbors of the Fang family in Fuk Ai Estate often heard Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang quarreling. The grandmother of Unit B across the street once heard Mr. Fang beating Mrs. Fang after drinking. It is obvious that Mr. Fang has been violent more than once after drinking." Jiayi said. "According to the driver of the former colleagues of both parties, when Mr. Fang and Liu Dahong worked together, Mr. Fang was originally better than Liu Dahong. Because Mr. Fang was more enthusiastic and helpful, both colleagues and leaders liked Mr. Fang more. It seems that Mrs. Fang knew Mr. Fang and Liu Dahong at almost the same time, and finally chose to start a family with Mr. Fang. Maybe the seeds of trouble were sown at that time." Gary said. "Liu Dahong would occasionally contact Mr. Fang, probably just to show off his current achievements to his former colleagues. Maybe he would feel happy in his heart when drinking, after all, not only is his career far ahead of Mr. Fang, but he is also having an affair with Mrs. Fang. Maybe he feels some kind of perverted pleasure." Uncle Jiu sighed and sighed. " ..." Fang Zhenyue stared at the whiteboard and organized his words before speaking: "Then the supplementary narrative about the motive for the murder may be described like this: "Mr. Fang may have discovered the fact that Mrs. Fang and Liu Dahong were having an affair. After all, he was unemployed during this period, and his time was very random during the period of looking for a job. It is very likely that he ran into Liu Dahong and Mrs. Fang having a tryst one day. "This time when Liu Dahong came to visit the Fang family, it might be a banquet arranged by Mr. Fang. "Everyone became irrational after drinking, and then an uncontrollable conflict broke out, resulting in irreversible consequences. "And the reason why Mrs. Fang stabbed Liu Dahong with a fatal knife was probably because although she cheated on Mr. Fang, she had no intention of leaving Mr. Fang. Although she was looking for excitement and did immoral things with Liu Dahong, she might still have feelings for Mr. Fang. So cheating on Liu Dahong does not mean that Liu Dahong can kill Mr. Fang. So when Mr. Fang was attacked, she tried to stop it... Everyone lost their composure after drinking..." "Two people who are entangled endlessly eventually become the terminators of each other's lives." Jiayi raised her head and sighed after writing a few words in her notebook. Fang Zhenyue nodded, and the air was silent for dozens of seconds. Just when everyone was thinking about life because of this case and the atmosphere was gradually becoming depressed, Liu Jiaming suddenly raised his head and asked Fang Zhenyue very seriously: "Brother Yue, the case is solved, what are we going to eat tonight?" "..." Fang Zhenyue. "..." Jiayi. "..." Uncle Jiu. "..." Gary. "It's so cold, I want to eat something hot, preferably soup. But isn't it a bit too much to continue eating mutton stew? I always have nosebleeds. Otherwise, how about we go for snake soup tonight? Or delicious soup?" Liu Jiaming asked worriedly. Snake soup? Or delicious soup? It's really an important life problem. Fang Zhenyue shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Isn't there a Snake King Soup restaurant next to Yi Ji? Why don't we go there and try it?" "Great!" Liu Jiaming raised his thumb. Jiayi sat steadily with her chin propped up, the corners of her lips lifted up by her palms. Everyone became lively again, and they could happily explore restaurants and eat delicious food again. Uncle Jiu took a deep breath, coughed lightly, and sighed: "Finally, another case was solved. I can eat and sleep well." He leaned into the soft big office chair, crossed his legs, and began to think: Should I go and talk to the old man who reported the case of the family annihilation? Maybe there really is something weird... ... The rain stopped in the evening, and Group A and Group B finished work on time for a rare occasion. Fang Zhenyue stood at the door of the B team's office and called out to You Zhaohua, "Let's go, Snake King Geng, let's drink soup together." "Why? Are you treating us?" You Zhaohua walked closer and scanned the B team's detectives. Sure enough, the case was solved, and everyone was in high spirits. "Yes, the corpse case was solved, let's celebrate." Fang Zhenyue raised his chin slightly. "No. Our A team solved the last case, and we have to celebrate. I'll treat you today." You Zhaohua immediately raised the price even higher. " Next time you treat me." Fang Zhenyue led the team out and laughed casually. "No! I have to treat you." You Zhaohua insisted. " ..." Fang Zhenyue raised his eyebrows, "You said it." "I said it, so what?" You Zhaohua puffed out his chest and raised his head, acting majestic. Fang Zhenyue smiled with an unclear meaning, and You Zhaohua didn't understand yet. It was not until dinner that Liu Jiaming ordered several dishes without mercy, and the dishes were piled high that You Zhaohua finally understood what Fang Zhenyue's expression meant. Damn! These big eaters have been fed by Fang Zhenyue and have big appetites. What a loss... " If you think that snake soup only uses snake bones, green onions, and ginger, you are wrong." Liu Jiaming, who is the best eater, drank two bowls of delicious soup and couldn't help but talk about his views on this soup.

"I know, there's also bamboo shoots." Tony pointed at the bamboo shoots in the soup pot.

"What's the essence of that?" Liu Jiaming laughed and said proudly, "There's also fresh pork bones that have been blanched in water. It must be fresh pork bones, not frozen ones. Then there's fresh chicken, put into the soup base with the fresh pork bones, and add Jinhua ham, boil it together for 12 hours, and then you get the real delicious soup."

"Wow, I feel like I've got it just by listening to it." Gary said flatteringly.

"If you're talking about replenishing here, how can you not have this ingredient?" The owner of Snake King Soup said as he walked to the cages with various venomous and non-venomous snakes, selected the snake species that You Zhaohua had named, opened the cage, and reached in to catch the snake.

The little snake bit through the boss's arm, but the boss just pinched the snake's head open, wiped the wound, wiped off the blood and said nonchalantly: "The venom glands have been removed, it's okay."

Then he went to the kitchen behind the counter to get the snake gall and brought it to the table. Sir You performed eating snake gall raw in front of the table.

Jiayi screamed when she saw it, but You Zhaohua felt that he was very proud and proud.

"Do you want one, Jiayi?" You Zhaohua wiped his mouth and called his friends to join him.

"No, I'm not hungry, Sir You, no need to replenish it." Jiayi waved his hand.

You Zhaohua turned around and asked Fang Zhenyue: "Sir Fang, do you dare to eat snake gall?"

"I'm tired of it, it's boring." Fang Zhenyue crossed his legs, drank the soup slowly with a bowl in his hand, and glanced at You Zhaohua calmly.

"Who else? Is there anyone else who dares to try it?" You Zhaohua was still making a fuss.

"No, no, drink the soup, Sir You." Tony hurriedly smiled and comforted him. They were from Group A, and the agents from Group A were the best at coaxing.

Sure enough, Tony coaxed You Zhaohua back to his seat with just a few words.

After a while, Sir You was drinking soup and eating meat, and he forgot about asking everyone to eat snake gall.

Uncle Jiu crossed his legs, sipped the soup slowly, watched everyone laugh, and laughed from time to time. He already had the temperament of an old man who was enjoying his retirement.

The boss of Snake King Soup asked everyone if they wanted some snake wine, and the TV on the small counter of the hotel suddenly played the murder of a family.

After the agents hurriedly answered the boss's questions, they all looked at the TV.

When discussing the case on a talk show, a master and a director who specializes in horror movies were invited. Everyone talked about the latest news, no taboos, and everything from ghosts to feng shui as if it were real.

The master swore that the feng shui of the building was different, saying that the real estate developer did not find the right feng shui master before building it. The implication was that if the real estate developer had asked him to check the feng shui, such a tragic case would not have happened, and there would not have been any gathering of evil spirits, trapping the wronged souls, and causing ghosts to ask for help.

The horror film director seriously consulted the Feng Shui master about the problem of the building in Fuk Oi Estate. The Feng Shui master commented on the trees in front of the building, the lighting time behind the building, the ranking of the buildings, etc. Everyone who was sitting in the snake soup was listening with relish. Even the materialists who firmly believed that there were no ghosts and Feng Shui in the world found it interesting.

The director praised loudly and said that he intended to adapt this case into a movie to warn people to work hard and not beat their wives and children, to be loyal to marriage and not cheat, to be friendly to colleagues and friends and not cheat on friends.

The host immediately exposed the director: "You just fancy the gimmick of ghost calls and want to scare the people, right?"

The director was immediately embarrassed, then laughed at himself and admitted it, saying that this story would definitely be a hit.

The detectives watching TV couldn't help laughing because the director was exposed in public.

"." Jiayi.

This... is actually going to be made into a movie?

"What ghost call? It's just that old man is trying to please the public." You Zhaohua drank soup and ate snake gall, and probably made up for it. At this moment, his face was red and his voice was loud. This man was full of masculinity, and he seemed particularly convincing when he refuted ghosts and monsters.

"That's not easy to say, some things are very evil." Uncle Jiu said, and somehow he turned his eyes to Jiayi.

"..." Jiayi. Uh, what's the matter, Uncle Jiu. Don't look at me, I feel guilty!

"The housekeeper was able to detect the abnormality of the Fang couple not going out for a long time and reported it to the police, which is a good thing. He wants to be famous and it's okay to be sought after." Fang Zhenyue seemed to be joking, but his eyes were clear when he looked at the TV.

He is always like this. Even if he says he believes, it makes people feel that he is not speaking his heart.

Even if he laughs, it seems that he is hiding a secret.

I don't know if it's because no matter what expression he makes, he seems to be unsatisfied and always restrained.

Or maybe Jiayi is a little guilty, so when she looks at other people's expressions and listens to what others say, she always feels that there is something else.

After secretly looking at Sir Fang for a while, Jiayi felt that she should be overthinking.

Everyone gathered together to drink soup and watch TV, and they were all relaxed. How could anyone still be worried and restrained at this time?

Even a workaholic like Fang Sir must have some blank time to completely relax and be defenseless.

But this caused a lot of trouble in the city, and I was really afraid of being discovered... I should solve cases scientifically in the future.

I can't encourage feudal superstition!

Detective Yi Jiayi, who was pretending to be a ghost to solve the case, stretched his waist and watched the big guys on TV talking about the authenticity of "ghost calls". He made a decision silently.

"Brother Yue, another case was solved. Do we have a chance to get the Pioneer red envelope this month?" Jiayi was looking forward to it, thinking that she didn't have to run out to make phone calls tonight, and she could finally sleep well.

"It's very likely." Fang Zhenyue withdrew his eyes from the TV, "and it will be noted in the file. The case is solved quickly, the solving rate is high, and everyone will get a red flower."

"That's great..." Jiayi covered her mouth and yawned.

After a full meal, she felt sleepy. She will definitely have a good sleep tonight.

...

This all-expected banquet has done a big slimming down for Sir You's wallet.

When walking out of the Snake King Soup shop, Sir You shouted loudly and swore to the sky that he would never invite these bottomless pits in Group B to dinner again. While

talking nonsense, You Zhaohua turned to the distant parking lot.

Snake King Soup is only a few steps away from Yi Ji. This time Fang Zhenyue didn't need to send Jiayi home, so he only took Liu Jiaming and a few others.

In order to save parking fees, Uncle Jiu parked the car in a far alley, wiped his mouth and said goodbye to Fang Zhenyue and others.

"Be careful on the road." Fang Zhenyue said goodbye to Uncle Jiu, waved his hand and walked to the other side of the parking space.

Liu Jiaming and his friends followed Brother Yue, still savoring the delicious snake soup as they walked. After saying goodbye to everyone, Jiayi turned back to Yi Ji Ice House, took over the chair that Jiaru was moving, and helped to tidy up the shop.

In the alley far away, Uncle Jiu flashed into the neon lights alone, pinched a stick of gum from the cigarette box, tore off the candy wrapper, rolled it up and threw it into the sewer.

He put the gum into his mouth, chewed it while muttering and complaining that it was not as delicious as cigarettes.

He turned another corner and finally saw his car.

At the same time, another figure came from the opposite side of the alley, tilting his head to light the cigarette in his mouth as he walked. The thin figure whose face could not be seen walked unsteadily, with his left shoulder high and right shoulder low, and his feet turned outward in a domineering manner, which was more detailed than the standard gait of a jerk...

Uncle Jiu suddenly stopped and stared at the man's walking posture.

The amplitude of his chest rise and fall gradually became higher, and he spat out the chewing gum with a sound of "Pooh". At the moment when the man lit the cigarette, swung the lighter between his fingers and put it back into his trouser pocket, Uncle Jiu suddenly rushed towards the man.

The light from outside the alley shone in diagonally, colorful, occasionally illuminating Uncle Jiu's face.

Even though he is old now, the appearance of the once brave detective is still looming...
