The Anatomy Room Conspiracy: Forensic Taboo Archives

Chapter 188 The Unexpected Guest
The old gentleman told us that there is no menu in the restaurant, let alone ordering dishes. If you want to eat here, you only have fried rice with eggs.

I was stunned when I heard this, and it was the first time I felt that a restaurant was so overbearing.

Before I could say anything, Tie Lu couldn't help but say, "Brother, you can do it, and you own this restaurant?"

Not only me, but even the old man (the owner of the shop) looked at Tielu with a surprised look on his face, and emphasized, "That's right, it's owned by my family!"

I understand what Tielv was thinking, he just wanted to question the owner of the Jianshang shop, the problem was that he used the wrong words and missed the point.

In normal times, I would definitely turn around and leave. I don’t care about this kind of boss, but this is a transit island. I suspect that there is no other restaurant on the island except this restaurant.

Iron donkey and I looked at each other, he must have thought of me.The two of us endured this, and said to the shop owner, "Have two bowls of fried rice with eggs."

The shop owner came out again, saying that he would give the money first.I suspect that he is definitely a lion, and he emphasized that a bowl of rice is 20 yuan.

I don't have much money in my pocket, but I also have a few hundred-yuan bills.I took out one and handed it to the store owner.Unexpectedly, the store owner looked at the money with a strange expression on his face, shook his head and said, "What did you give me? Only party currency is accepted here, and I don't accept foreign currency like yours."

I thought to myself, what joke is this old man playing?Dare to say that RMB is a foreign currency?When this word spreads, I believe that the 14 billion Chinese will raise their fists and beat him to death.

I have another guess, the old man is old and his eyes are blurred.I held up the hundred-dollar bill in front of him and asked him to take a closer look.

The store owner still had that expression, then he touched his pocket and took out a piece of money that I didn't recognize.

I saw that Sun Yat-sen was printed on it.I have a guess that the so-called party currency refers to the Kuomintang currency.

I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling, as if I understood something.

The shop owner pointed to the Kuomintang coins and told me that if you want to eat fried rice with eggs, you have to give him 50 yuan like this.I didn't make a deal with the iron donkey, and I really didn't have the party currency he said in my pocket.In order to make a final fight, we both relied on arguing with the shop owner.Anyway, I just want to buy two bowls of rice with RMB.

I found that the owner of this store had a bad mouth. After arguing for a while, he changed his mind and said that the two of us were not using foreign currency, but counterfeit currency.

We were all a little red-faced by the end.

At this time, a person walked in from the outside.She is a girl in her early twenties. She is pretty, especially with big watery eyes and a mole on the corner of her mouth.She looked at the three of us and shouted, "Okay, boss, don't quarrel with the foreign guests, I've invited you for this meal."

Her words were very effective. The three of us stopped talking and looked at her.The girl rushed to the bar and took out two 50-yuan Kuomintang coins.

She was very generous, and she was afraid that we would not have enough to eat, so she simply treated the guests thoroughly.She slapped the money on the bar counter, and the owner of the store would never accept the money, so he had to collect the money and contact the back kitchen to cook.

But Tie Lv and I were not interested in eating anymore. Tie Lv first shouted to the shop owner to wait, then turned to look at the girl and asked, "Do we know each other?"

The girl likes to laugh, and she has two dimples when she smiles.She shook her head and said with certainty that it was the first time we met!
Iron Donkey asked again, "Then why did you take the initiative to invite us to dinner?"

This question touched my heart, and I looked at the girl carefully, wondering how she would answer.

The girl didn't have much social experience at first glance. She first said that she happened to pass by the door of the restaurant and heard us arguing, so she wanted to help us.But then she pouted stubbornly and said emphatically, "Since she has a treat, we have to do her a favor."

I think of a saying, if you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal.Tie Lu and I are both old men, and we are not rich. The girl will certainly not have the intention of adultery and robbery towards us, but her inconsistent words also told me that she has no good intentions for entertaining guests.

Tie Luquan and I laughed, and we turned around tacitly, and we were about to go out.

I thought so from the bottom of my heart, how could I, Leng Shijie, be overwhelmed by a bowl of egg fried rice, besides, this girl is so naive, it would be child's play to try to settle me with a bowl of rice.

Seeing our actions, the girl was a little unhappy, and a little panicked. While taking the money back, she yelled for us not to leave.

The iron donkey and I pretended not to hear, and our feet were not idle.Iron Donkey also whispered to me, let me go first, and he stood behind.

The board of the iron donkey swayed sideways, no different from a door. With him blocking the chasing girl, I didn't have much pressure.

I made up my mind to go out of the restaurant and wait for the iron donkey, but when I got to the door, I almost bumped into someone.He was about to go in, when I looked up, it was Jiang Shaoyan.

Jiang Shaoyan followed what he said before, and he wanted to come to the restaurant to find us, which was not unusual, but he glanced behind me again and noticed the girl.He frowned and let out a sigh.

I tasted his expression, and thought to myself, did he know this girl?Out of curiosity, I also looked back.

The girl didn't give up, don't look at being blocked by the iron donkey, she kept talking about her treat all the way and let us go back, but after seeing Jiang Shaoyan's cold gaze, she stopped talking.

At this moment, our behavior with the girl definitely changed 180 degrees.Iron Donkey and I left in no hurry, but the girl lowered her head, trying to squeeze away from us.

Tienlu and I didn't stop her. When she passed by Jiang Shaoyan, Jiang Shaoyan took a step back and stood in front of her again.

The girl's face was not very good-looking, she was a little scared, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing so fiercely?"

I couldn't understand it again, and thought to myself, look at this posture, the girl doesn't know Jiang Shaoyan.

Jiang Shaoyan suddenly withdrew his cold expression, laughed, pointed at the girl and asked, "Girl, you definitely don't know me, but I know your mother. Is her name Yalan?"

The girl was surprised, slipped her mouth, and asked how do you know?

Jiang Shaoyan got close, and even stretched the matter too far, saying that his father was very close to Yalan's parents, that is, the girl's grandma and grandfather, and he was even hugged by sister Yalan when he was a child.

I was confused and felt that Jiang Shaoyan was lying.I sneaked a glance at Tie Donkey and found him a little dazed.

But what Jiang Shaoyan said made the girl believe it.Jiang Shaoyan also invited the girl to go back to the restaurant and sit down together.

He and the girl went in first, and I was one step behind the iron donkey.Moreover, Jiang Shaoyan secretly winked at the two of us, which meant that he sat at the same table with the girl, "reminiscing about the old days".I and Iron Donkey stay away from them.

I'm fine with Iron Donkey.After sitting down, I asked Tie Lu, what kind of play did Jiang Shaoyan play?Especially when he is so old, why is he still dating a little girl?Isn't this an old cow gnawing tender grass?

Iron donkey knew better than me, and whispered to me that this girl was not an ordinary person.

I asked him why it was unusual, but he didn't say anything.

Not long after, the shop owner brought over fried rice with eggs, but it wasn't invited by the girl. Jiang Shaoyan took out a few Kuomintang coins from his pocket like a magic trick.

I'm not being polite to the iron donkey, and each of us ate two servings.After the meal, Jiang Shaoyan and the girl's reminiscences were over, and the girl left with a happy face.

We sat next to Jiang Shaoyan again.I urged Jiang Shaoyan to talk about the whole thing.

Jiang Shaoyan only emphasized to us, "This girl's name is Yaxin. I have agreed with her. We will board the Neptune together in a few days and go to Ghost Island together!"

The Neptune is the ship of the evil king, I thought Jiang Shaoyan's decision was inappropriate, and I also had a premonition that the evil king would not agree to take Yaxin away.

As for Iron Donkey, it was completely different from what I thought. He asked Jiang Shaoyan, "Is this girl really Yaxin's daughter?"

Jiang Shaoyan replied that he was right, and said that he had seen Yaxin's photos, and the two girls looked almost identical.

Jiang Shaoyan didn't eat anything in the small restaurant, and the three of us left after that.We didn't go back to the Neptune to rest overnight, Jiang Shaoyan took us to find a farmyard.

Of course, the farmhouses here are completely different from those in the north. There are rows of wooden piles under the house. I guess this architectural style has something to do with the special terrain of the island.

We live here, and we have agreed with the owner of the farmyard that we will pay and he will cook three meals a day for us.

After careful calculation, our stay here is not short, a full week has passed.During this period, whenever we had free time, we wandered around the island, and also took the opportunity to joke and chat with the residents here.

I found that the residents here speak Mandarin, which is completely different from the Cantonese spoken in Haike City.

They are also like Yaxin, very innocent and down-to-earth, without much defensiveness.This is not cheap for us, and a lot of words have been tricked out of their mouths.

They have heard of Ghost Island, but in their place, it is not called Ghost Island, but Immortal Island.They also said that there are treasures on the island, and whoever can go to get the treasure will have nothing to worry about in this life.

But when it came to the specific route, they were stuck. Several old people said that to go to Xiandao, there must be a chance. There will be a guide messenger who will appear on the sea, and he will take it with him.

I jotted down all these things.In this way, one evening, Jiang Shaoyan was not with the two of us, he went out in the afternoon, and the old cat hadn't shown his face since he separated from us.

Tie Lu and I had just finished our meal, and we were thinking about getting out of the farmyard and looking around for news.But as soon as the two of us came out of the house, the iron donkey looked up at the sky, and couldn't help cursing, "Damn!"

I know that the sky of Transit Island is very special. Occasionally, there will be very beautiful and visually impactful clouds. I thought the iron donkey was attracted by the clouds again.

I didn't pay much attention to it, and urged him to stop watching and get down to business.

Who knew that the iron donkey would not leave at all, and even dragged me and said, "Apprentice, look up quickly, two suns have appeared in the sky."

I want to laugh, and I say flicker in my heart, and then flicker!I have developed the habit of looking at the sky every morning, but after observing the sky for the past few days, I am desperate. How could the evil king say that there is a possibility of two suns appearing.

I suspect that Iron Donkey crossed his eyes at the sun just now, which may allow him to see two suns, and to be honest, if he crossed his eyes, he would damage his eyes and see three, or even ten suns. Eight suns are no surprise.

I took the opportunity to hurt him.Iron Donkey really didn't have the heart to argue with me, so he became anxious and forcibly grabbed my head and lifted it up.

I was forced to take a look, and at this moment, my heart tightened, and I thought that Brother Lu really didn't lie to me, and there really were two suns in the sky.
