Chapter 168 Jinjiang First Launch
The two parents had fought and scolded each other enough, and finally followed the police into the police station to identify the body. The bearded man stood there alone. He raised his head and looked at the bright sun, and suddenly he felt powerless and fell to his knees on the ground.
Although he luckily survived this incident, he had to live with the guilt from then on. He was the one who killed his two brothers with his own hands. This incident spread like wildfire in the town, and he could no longer hold his head up in Qingshui Town.
After dealing with the first divination of the day, Bai Mian made herself a pot of iced lemon tea. Seeing that the time was almost up, she said to everyone, "Everyone, we are going to have a lunch break. Please come back in the afternoon."
After hearing this, the crowd in the store dispersed, and Bai Mian temporarily turned off the live broadcast. Xia Mang sighed, "Huh, even though I only handled one case this morning, I'm already exhausted. I didn't expect the danger to be so close to us. These people are really bold!"
Lu Xue said: "Perhaps they think that this place is far away from the government and it is the safest place to commit crimes. However, in this era, everyone shoots short videos. Even if there were no three reckless men, their crimes would be exposed sooner or later."
"It's time to eat! Don't think about your case, come and eat something to replenish your brain cells!" Gao Jin shouted while busying himself in the kitchen.
Several people sat down at the dining table obediently. Today's lunch was very rich. The staple food was golden pumpkin steamed cake, and the dishes were cola chicken wings, cold shredded vegetables and winter melon vermicelli and lamb meatball soup.
The steamed golden pumpkin steamed cake was fluffy and soft. Gao Jin gave each person a big piece. The cola chicken wings were caramel-colored. Xia Mang couldn't wait to grab one, but got her mouth burned the next second. Lu Xue laughed at her mercilessly.
Weng Xuhua personally served Bai Mian a bowl of meatball soup. The soup was clear in color, the winter melon was sweet, the vermicelli was smooth, and the mutton meatballs were mixed with seasonings. There was no fishy smell at all, only a strong meaty aroma.
Bai Mian noticed something was wrong: "Master, you are serving me the soup today alone, isn't that too polite?"
Weng Xuhua smiled and took out his phone to show Bai Mian his WeChat. He received a WeChat message from Cripple Brother at 10 a.m.:
[Boss, I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight. I have something important to tell you.]
Weng Xuhua pointed at the news and laughed, "What else could it be? Of course it's the most important event in his life!"
Master touched his chin and recalled the past: "Yu Han, this young man, has worked for me for several years. I watched him grow from a young man to a decadent middle-aged man. I really couldn't bear to see such a young man wasting his life! I also advised him to live a good life, but he just ignored my words. I thought he would always be like this, but who knew that an old classmate suddenly showed up, and he seemed to come back to life all of a sudden. Haha, life is really wonderful!"
Bai Mian raised his eyebrows: "You must be so happy that you specially served me soup."
Weng Xuhua curled his lips and said, "Hey, stop pretending. I knew it was you who did this! His old classmate didn't come earlier or later, but he came at this time. Could it be that it has nothing to do with you? Although I don't know the secret, I still thank you on their behalf!"
Bai Mian smiled slightly, "In that case, I will accept this thank you gift."
She picked up the spoon and put a spoonful of soup into her mouth. Everyone at the table was shocked by the news that Weng Xuhua had just announced, especially Gao Jin, who was so shocked that he dropped the spoon in his hand:
"Oh my god, they are moving so fast! Is it really okay to move so fast? They just met yesterday and only dated for one day, and they are announcing the good news today? Young people nowadays are so unstable..."
Weng Xuhua interrupted Gao Jin's chatter: "It's nothing. They just met yesterday. They didn't just get to know each other yesterday. They knew each other many years ago and understand each other's temperament. Besides, they are already in their thirties, so the process should be faster. Do you want them to slowly adjust to each other for another three to five years?"
"That being said..." Gao Jin thought of another question, "They won't hold a banquet tonight, will they? Oh my god, what should I wear? I have to dress formally. This kid is really something. Why didn't he tell me earlier? There's only half a day left. I don't know if the tailor shop can make a dress in time!"
Weng Xuhua patted Gao Jin's hand and said, "You don't have to be so serious. The children are willing to share the good news with us because they treat us as family. Just go. They won't care what you wear. Besides, don't you have a cheongsam? The one with the phoenix embroidered on it."
Gao Jin frowned and said, "Those are clothes from 20 years ago. They are out of date now. Besides, my figure is out of shape now. I can't wear them at all."
Weng Xuhua said in a gentle tone: "No, you will always be the same as you were back then in my eyes."
Gao Jin smiled and hit him: "You are just good at talking. I think you just want to save money. Well, I will take the time to alter that cheongsam this afternoon."
Bai Mian suddenly thought of what would happen in the afternoon, so he looked up and said to Weng Xuhua, "Master, you should accompany your wife to buy a new one. Treating patients is important, but you also have to take time to accompany your family."
Weng Xuhua was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had repeatedly rejected his wife's proposal to go traveling. He couldn't help but feel apologetic, so he said, "Okay, old lady, you don't have to wear your old clothes. I'll take you to the mall to buy you a new one. There are so many clothes in the mall, there must be one that suits you."
Gao Jin asked him with a smile: "Don't you want to save money?"
Weng Xuhua said embarrassedly: "Isn't the reason we save money for you? Let's put it this way, we'll go this afternoon."
With Weng Xuhua's words, Gao Jin enjoyed the meal particularly well, not because of shopping, but mainly because Weng Xuhua took the rare opportunity to take time out to accompany her.
Xia Mang was showing off her cola chicken wings. She ate half of the whole plate of chicken wings. While eating, she said, "Wow, those restaurant owners are so stupid. They even spent money to buy poppy shells. If their cooking skills were as good as the boss lady's, they wouldn't have to worry about business at all!"
After finishing his meal, Weng Xuhua wrote a notice with a brush and posted it on the door, announcing that he would be off for the afternoon consultation. Then he went upstairs hand in hand with Gao Jin to take a nap.
Bai Mian placed an errand order and bought two fire extinguishers from the store. After receiving the goods, she placed the fire extinguishers in the store. The little rabbit with red eyes seemed to smell something uneasy and followed Bai Mian closely.
Bai Mian squatted down and touched its head. This little guy was very well behaved. He stayed on the table all morning without running around. When Bai Mian was checking Yuanzhu's pulse, it carefully stood in front of Bai Mian, as if it was afraid that Yuanzhu would hurt Bai Mian.
Bai Mian stretched out his hand, and the rabbit immediately climbed onto Bai Mian's palm, looking at Bai Mian with pitiful eyes, afraid that Bai Mian would abandon it. Bai Mian had an idea that if no one came to claim this rabbit, he might as well adopt it.
Bai Mian returned to the bedroom on the second floor and gently covered the quilt. The little rabbit curled up into a ball and rolled into her arms. She buried her nose in the rabbit and smelled the faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance again.
After lunch, Bai Mian went downstairs carrying the rabbit. Her master and mistress had already left, leaving only the two sisters to accompany her in the live broadcast. She gently placed the little rabbit on the table and turned on the live broadcast.
As soon as Xia Mang opened the store door, a large group of people rushed in. Although Weng Xuhua did not diagnose pulses in the afternoon, there were still many people who came to watch the excitement.
The second karmic master was a young girl. She sat down at the table impatiently and took out a photo of a man from her bag: "Master, this is my brother. He disappeared six months ago. I know where he is, but I can't save him. Please save him!"
The photo shows a middle-aged man in his thirties, with his eyes closed, lying quietly on the bed, as if he is falling asleep. Although the photo looks fine at first glance, a closer look reveals that the man in the photo has a pale face and exudes a gloomy aura.
Bai Mian asked: "What happened? Was he kidnapped?"
The younger sister nodded quickly: "Yes, he was kidnapped, he was kidnapped by the mermaid!"
