Tiger Police

Chapter 295 Dinner
"Chen Miaoyun must be covering up, she wants to hide something."

Guo Lingyu frowned: "Xiaohu, this is unreasonable! She asked me to help with the New Autumn matter, so I invited you from the mainland."

"This is two different things!" Hu Pingtao explained: "First of all, she is Yao Xinqiu's mother. Every mother hopes that her daughter will be safe and happy. Therefore, Chen Miaojun is eager to solve her daughter's current psychological problems. Check it out at the source."

"Secondly, Chen Miaoyun herself is not idle. She must have discovered something during the investigation process. I guess it is because it involves Yao Xinqiu himself, or Li Bowen... In short, there are some things that cannot be put on the table, so she has reservations about me. .”

Guo Lingyu thought for a while, then asked uncertainly: "Xiaohu, could it be that you are thinking too much?"

Hu Pingtao's eyes narrowed slightly: "When Chen Miaoyun introduced the situation before, she mentioned one thing—she said that her mother, Yao Xinqiu's grandmother, took her child to Huang Daxian to pray for God and worship Buddha after Yao Xinqiu's illness It's normal for old people to do this kind of thing, and Hong Kong City has always been a place full of incense. We don't care whether the gods are true or not, but old people... Hehe, what I want to say is that old people have a great influence on children, and even have Possibly for a lifetime."

"I don't know anything about Chen Miaoyun's life when she was young. I can only make judgments based on my own experience. Take me as an example. I am usually busy with work and rarely go home for a week. Now my wife has twins. She will definitely not be able to take care of it by herself, so the old people on both sides have to help. At least until the child is three years old, most of the time has to be handed over to the old man, after all, Linlin and I have to go to work."

"It's different after the age of three. The child goes to kindergarten, there is a teacher during the day, and the child is picked up in the afternoon."

"So during this period of time, the elderly have absolute influence on the children. Their preferences, thoughts, logic and other comprehensive aspects will have an effect on the children."

"Now let's go back to Yao Xinqiu. Why did she wake up at night? Why did she say that she dreamed of a bloody Zhang Yacui?"

"That's her classmate, and she's also a very good friend."

"Girls have always been timid and superstitious about things like gods and ghosts. For example, pen fairy and dish fairy first became popular among girls. Yao Xinqiu had a lot of contact with her grandmother when she was young, and it is entirely possible that she was influenced by the old man. , have faith in things like gods and monsters."

"The old saying is good: don't do bad things at ordinary times, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Psychological problems are related to this. If the psychological burden cannot be relieved, it will gradually increase over time, and then in many aspects such as thinking and body. seriously affected.”

"Yao Xinqiu may not dream of Zhang Yacui every night, but she must have coherent thinking when she is asleep. As long as the frequency exceeds four times a week, it will be defaulted to "everyday" by subjective thinking, and it may even be shorter by default. More frequent."

Guo Lingyu was stunned, and after a long time asked slowly: "Xiaohu, do you suspect that Xinqiu is the murderer?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "I'm still saying the same thing. At present, there is no evidence, and Yao Xinqiu has no reason to kill. The murderer must have a motive for committing the crime. If this key entry point is not found, it will be impossible to prove the authenticity of the reasoning results. "

He said slowly: "So sister Guo, please help me to get in touch with Yao Xinqiu more and more frequently."

……

The restaurant is very nice and luxuriously decorated.Guo Lingyu booked a private room on the second floor, and when she and Hu Pingtao arrived, Chen Miaoyun's mother and daughter had already arrived ahead of schedule.

"This is my daughter Yao Xinqiu." Chen Miaoyun introduced with a smile: "Xinqiu, get up and say hello to Brother Pingtao."

This is a slender girl.She was wearing a plain white dress with large lace trims on the skirt and shoulders.The hair is very long, tied with a light blue ribbon.His face was lightly made up, his appearance was above average, and his complexion was pale.

She stretched out her hand, with a smile on her face, but her voice was not loud: "Hello."

Hu Pingtao held her hand, feeling a little cold, his smile was always friendly, and his deliberately controlled voice sounded masculine: "It's the first time we meet, I'm Guo Pingtao."

Guo Lingyu said—the name remains unchanged, but the surname is changed to "Guo".

The temperature in the restaurant was higher than outside, so Hu Pingtao took off his coat as soon as he entered the private room.The white sports T-shirt fits well, the exposed arms are very muscular, the swollen chest muscles protrude from under the clothes, and the silhouette of the body is even more obvious than that of professional athletes.

His skin is delicate and his complexion is fair.But it is by no means Yao Xinqiu's almost pathological paleness, but a type with a deeper color scale, which is more like the true color of a yellow race.

Yao Xinqiu was immediately attracted——this young man whom he met for the first time had obsidian-like eyes, a straight nose, dark black hair shaved very short, but full of youthful vigor.

All this was why she had to keep her eyes on him.

In fact, Yao Xinqiu was quite resistant to today's dinner.

Too many things happened recently, so that she had a deep doubt about the reality, she was at a loss, and she didn't know how to face it.Apart from self-quarantine, shutting up at home and reading books, I feel that no matter what I do, I will lead the already bad state to the dark side.

She argued with her mother Chen Miaoyun for a long time, and finally chose to compromise, and changed into a barely passable dress to attend the party.

Guo Lingyu cannot be offended.Although she is the mother's best friend and the two families are very close, the name of the Guo Group is known to everyone in Hong Kong City.

Yao Xinqiu originally had a perfunctory attitude, thinking that as long as he sat on a chair without talking, he would just eat in silence.Anyway, the party will always end, the big deal is to listen to them and be dumb by the side.

The appearance of Hu Pingtao made her feel that a ray of light suddenly appeared.

It's not that he immediately had thoughts about love for him.Yao Xinqiu only felt that the aura of "Guo Pingtao" who had just returned from studying in France was really dazzling. He was handsome and had perfect muscles comparable to a fitness trainer.

All of these are things that little girls like and add points to.

Yao Xinqiu's family environment is good. She has received art education since she was a child, and dance and piano are the main subjects.When she was older, Chen Miaoyun added physical training to her and hired professional fitness coaches.

Everyone likes beautiful things.

Yao Xinqiu knew Guo Lingyu.When she saw Guo Lingyu walking into the private room with Hu Pingtao, this young man who had never seen before entered her field of vision with a light and elegant pace, which was exclusive to catwalk shows... At that moment, she felt hazy A part of the long-awaited spiritual space is truly illuminated.

Seeing this, Chen Miaojun was overjoyed, and quickly pulled away the chair next to her, calling Hu Pingtao: "Come, sit here."

I can't talk about what I like for the time being.It can be seen that my daughter's first impression of Hu Pingtao is very good, which is the prerequisite and basis for communication.

Hu Pingtao picked up the opened red wine from the ice bucket and poured some into Yao Xinqiu's goblet.

She hurriedly waved her hand: "...I...I don't know how to drink."

Hu Pingtao had a pretty smile, with a gap between the two perfect lips.He handed the bottle to Yao Xinqiu, pointed to the French label and explained: "This is Burgundy wine. It tastes very good and the alcohol content is not high. Drink less, it will be good for your health."

Watched by his beautiful black eyes, Yao Xinqiu felt his face was burning hot, he lowered his head in embarrassment, grabbed the hem of the skirt with his left hand on the side of the chair that no one saw, squeezed it hard and then let go, whispering softly: " . . . I've never had a drink . . . really."

Guo Lingyu sat across the dining table and said with a smile: "Xinqiu, you are a big girl now, it's okay to drink less. Hehe... If you don't believe me, ask your mother."

Chen Miaoyun was also very cooperative: "Drink it! It's okay."

It's not that there's anything wrong with this bottle of wine, it's just a very common opening statement.Hu Pingtao had previously discussed with Chen Miaojun the steps to get in touch with and gain Yao Xinqiu's trust.It's a good reason for two families to get together, and the opening must be drinks.If Yao Xinqiu doesn't like or refuses red wine, Hu Pingtao can use various drinks and water next.

Yao Xinqiu looked timidly at the red wine glass in front of him, and Hu Pingtao picked up his own glass without losing the opportunity, and approached her with a smile: "I told you before that Aunt Chen has a very beautiful daughter. See you today." I think you are more beautiful in real life than what your aunt said."

Yao Xinqiu was a little embarrassed, so he quickly picked up the cup and touched Hu Pingtao lightly.There was a fever on her face, red from the base of her ears to her cheeks, and her voice was extremely low: "...Thank you!"

After taking a small sip of the red wine, a strange feeling never felt before entered the mouth and spread quickly along the surface of the tip of the tongue.Like everyone who is new to alcoholic beverages, Yao Xinqiu quickly became talkative.

"Which university did you go to in France?" she asked with interest.

Hu Pingtao casually mentioned the school that he had agreed with Chen Miaojun before, and said with a smile: "I haven't been back for a long time this time, and I will go back in a month. Come to France to play with me when you are on vacation! I will take you to the Louvre, And the Eiffel Tower."

"Okay!" Yao Xinqiu nodded frequently: "If there is a chance, I will definitely go."

This is said more modestly.

Hu Pingtao talked happily: "The south of France is also good, with abundant and fresh seafood. Several port cities close to Sicily have beautiful scenery, and you can eat the most delicious shrimp and oysters there."

"The scenery in Bordeaux is also very beautiful. There are huge vineyards there. I know a few estate owners. You can follow the workers around the vineyards. When you are tired, you can go to the cellar to find your favorite wine and pair it with a new Baked cookies... I promise, it's like nothing you've ever tasted before."

Yao Xinqiu blinked and asked curiously, "Biscuits...should be bread, right?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "If it is bread, it must be a very crisp and hard French baguette. But that kind of thing can only be baked in professional bakeries, and it is rare in wineries, and it is not always available. The biscuits I’m talking about are coarse cakes, the kind that are specially paired with red wine. Just like stewed pork rice, small rice is definitely not good, it must be cooked with rice to absorb the rich flavor of braised pork sauce.”

What he said are not secrets, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find them all on the Internet.The charm of speaking lies in the tone, tone, environment, and the speaker's own body movements... In short, this performance has indeed achieved its purpose.Yao Xinqiu listened with gusto and showed a long-lost smile on his face.

All the topics revolved around "tourism", but Hu Pingtao only talked about foreign countries and the mainland, without mentioning Hong Kong City at all.

Malaya, Ghana, Australia, mainland... Some places Hu Pingtao has been to, some haven't, but he has a very good memory, memorized the materials, coupled with speech-like improvisation, opened a door in front of Yao Xinqiu's eyes. A new door of knowledge.

Little stars began to appear in her eyes, and her face was full of admiration and envy: "Have you been to all these places?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and nodded: "I have been abroad all year round, and besides, I majored in tourism. I cleaned dishes in the United States, made pizza in Italy, rode a bicycle in the mainland, and cooked smoked fish in Norway... Anyway, work and play at the same time.”

According to the previously agreed plan, Chen Miaojun interrupted without losing the opportunity: "Don't your family give you money?"

"Yes, but less." Hu Pingtao said frankly: "I am such an old man, I have to support myself. Besides, travel is not only for fun, but mainly related to my major. graduation thesis."

Guo Lingyu also joined the topic. She patted Hu Pingtao's shoulder like an elder, and said with a smile: "It's not a problem to run around all the time. You still have to come back and spend more time with your family. There are many tourist attractions in Hong Kong City. The cultural atmosphere is also very strong, you should take Hong Kong City as the focus of your thesis writing, and experience more here.”

"Okay!" Hu Pingtao readily agreed, "Then I'll walk around the city and have a look."

Chen Miaoyun picked up the topic: "The city of Hong Kong has changed a lot. You just came back from Pingtao, and many places are different from before. Why not? Xinqiu recently stayed at home on sick leave and asked her to take you out for a stroll. "

Without waiting for her daughter to speak, Chen Miaojun immediately turned to Yao Xinqiu, said with a smile: "Ping Tao said just now, you can find him when you go to France, and he is in charge of free tour guide. Then you will be his guide during the time he is in Hong Kong City. Come and go, how about a peer-to-peer exchange?"

It can be seen that Yao Xinqiu has already moved his heart.Hu Pingtao's appearance, temperament, and personality are very pleasing, and coupled with Guo Lingyu's relationship...she is very willing to entertain the guest "Guo Pingtao".

After the car accident, Chen Miaojun took a six-month suspension of school for her daughter, which was exactly one semester.

Yao Xinqiu also wanted to adjust his state as soon as possible and get out of the haze.
