Chapter 158 Salt and Pepper Mince Fruit
Neither did Xiaoyu enter, nor did she retreat.

Qi Yue put his hand on Du Juan's waist and tapped it twice, which was to remind her that since it is a lover relationship, there is nothing wrong with being intimate.

Du Juan understood, pretending to be lazy, and slowly sat up: "Xiaoyu, you're back."

Xiaoyu lowered her head: "I'm sorry miss, I thought, I thought you were at home..."

Du Juan said, "It doesn't matter."

Xiaoyu put the mooncakes in the cabinet one by one.

Qi Yue glanced at the clock on the wall.

It's six forty in the evening.

Da Luo Xin Department Store purchased a batch of Shanghai mooncakes. At five o’clock, Du Juan sent Xiaoyu to Da Luo Xin to buy moon cakes. In fact, it was an excuse to dismiss her so that he could talk to Qi Yue later.

"What stuffing?"

Du Juan asked casually.

Xiaoyu said: "There are four kinds in total, egg yolk lotus paste, salt and pepper mincemeat, rose red bean paste, and assorted five kernels."

Qi Yue said: "Salt and pepper mincemeat, it tastes delicious just by the name...Xiaoyu, bring it here."

Du Juan said coquettishly, "It's not Mid-Autumn Festival yet, so you can't wait two days."

Qi Yue said: "Never mind him, eat first."

Xiaoyu put salt and pepper mincemeat mooncakes on the coffee table.

Qi Yue unpacked the box, took out three mooncakes, and handed one to Du Juan and one to Xiaoyu: "Come, everyone who sees has a share, try them all."

Du Juan pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I'm here again to learn and sell."

Qi Yue also laughed: "This is called applying what you have learned."

Xiaoyu waved her hands again and again: "I'm not hungry..."

Qi Yue frowned: "You can eat it if you want, it's just a piece of moon cake."

Xiaoyu turned to look at Du Juan.

As a servant, you must seek the opinion of your master.

Du Juan said softly, "Eat it, it's okay, Mr. Qi is not an outsider."

Xiaoyu took the mooncake and took a small bite.

Qi Yue ate it full of praise: "Well, it's sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious, this pepper and salt mincemeat is delicious, I'll go to Daluo to buy some new ones in a while."

Du Juan said: "I have them here, if you want to eat, just come anytime."

Qi Yue said: "For the festival, buy a few yuan to meet the occasion."

Du Juan said, "Try other flavors?"

"No, I've eaten everything else..."

Qi Yue asked Xiaoyu, "Where did you buy the moon cakes?"

Xiaoyu said, "Da Luoxin."

Qi Yue said: "I know it's Da Luoxin, which floor is it?"

Xiaoyu said, "First floor."

Qi Yue asked again: "Which counter?"

Xiaoyu said: "I didn't pay attention...the main reason is that there are too many people, crowded around, and their heads are big. I bought moon cakes and hurried home."

"You are like me. When there are too many people, your mind will be confused."

Qi Yue stood up, took off his hat and coat from the coat rack, and said to Du Juan, "Aren't you going to Isabella? It's just right, I'll see you off along the way."

Du Juan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's only a few steps away, and I didn't want you to see it off."

Qi Yue said: "Why are we being polite? It's about kicking the gas pedal. Besides, it's not safe for women to walk at night. I don't worry about you going out alone."

Du Juan said, "Okay then, wait for me."

10 minute later.

The two came out of the house.

The path is quiet, with occasional pedestrians passing by.

The dim street lights elongated his figure.

Qi Yue's car was parked on the side of the road.

"what happened?"

Du Juan asked as he walked.

She has no intention of going to Isabella tonight.

Qi Yue said: "Xiaoyu is not right."

Du Juan asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Yue said: "My car is parked here every time, will she not see it? She just said that she thought you were at home, which is obviously a lie."

Du Juan said, "Maybe I didn't pay attention?"

Qi Yue shook his head lightly: "It's unlikely, if it were me, I would at least take a look. Also, I suspect that she didn't go to Daluoxin at all!"

Du Juan said: "I bought all the mooncakes, how can you say she didn't go to Daluoxin?"

Qi Yue asked: "What time did she leave the door?"

Du Juan said, "Five o'clock."

While talking, the two got into the car.

Qi Yue said: "Go out at five o'clock, walk to the tram stop, it takes 10 minutes, and at the normal speed of the tram, it takes about 10 minutes to get to Daluoxin, including the waiting time for the bus, and the time to buy mooncakes." , it will take at least an hour and a half for the round trip.”

Du Juan asked, "What time is it?"

Qi Yue said: "She arrived home at six forty."

Du Juan said, "One hour, four 10 minutes... Is there any problem with the time?"

Qi Yue said, "Normally, there's no problem."

Du Juan frowned: "Then you still say that something is wrong with Xiaoyu."

Qi Yue said: "Last night, when I passed Daluoxin, I noticed that the tram station was overcrowded, and every car was full of people. Under such an environment, passengers would inevitably bump into each other. Have you noticed, Xiao Yudai The returned moon cake box is intact..."

Du Juan suddenly realized, she understood Qi Yue's meaning, Daluoxin is the largest department store in Binjiang, during the holidays, four villages and eight towns come to join in the fun, the passenger flow is at least [-] times higher than usual.

The moon cake box is made of paper packaging, with edges and corners, and a slight touch will leave sunken marks. In a crowded carriage, a girl of sixteen or seventeen is carrying four boxes of moon cakes in her hand. She wants to avoid Collisions in all directions are almost impossible.

Qi Yue said: "What's more, Da Luoxin sells mooncakes as soon as he comes in, so it's impossible not to remember which counter. Xiaoyu said she didn't pay attention because she didn't go there at all, and she doesn't know which counter sells mooncakes."

"The question is, if she didn't go to Daluoxin, where did the mooncakes come from?"

Dujuan murmured.

Qi Yue said, "Someone bought it for her."

Du Juan's eyes flashed: "Who bought it for her?"

Qi Yue didn't answer directly: "Go to Daluo to buy new moon cakes, who suggested it?"

Du Juan said: "Xiaoyu told me that Da Luoxin's Shanghai mooncakes are very delicious. I knew you were coming today, so I asked her to buy a few and come back..."

Qi Yue said: "That's right. If Xiaoyu really has a problem, she needs to meet with her accomplices from time to time. Today should also be a meeting day. The time is limited. It is impossible for her to buy mooncakes by herself. The accomplices bought them in advance to spare time. Exchange information with each other. That person considered all the details, including the time for Xiaoyu to go back and forth, but he ignored the environment on the tram!"

Du Juan said, "Who are they?"

Qi Yue thought for a while: "It's hard to say, the possibility of the Japanese puppet is more."

Du Juan frowned slightly: "So... are we being suspected?"

Qi Yue said: "I guess, nine out of ten it's for me. Fortunately, since Xiaoyu came, we have been careful not to show any flaws."

Du Juan was silent for a moment: "After a while, find a reason to fire her."

Qi Yue said: "No matter what her background is, this matter should be done slowly. You must know that any illogical behavior will attract suspicion!"
