Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 8 Suspect (1)
Early the next morning, Moran was woken up by his cousin's rough voice.

"Hey, how about making wontons today?" Jonah said loudly, putting her face in front of her bed.

Moran opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and was so angry that he almost cursed. It was only 6 o'clock in the morning, and this cousin always regarded everyone as a working farm cow like her.Jonah gets up at 5:6 every day and leaves the house on time at [-]:[-]. If there are no special circumstances, she is the first to go to the police station and the last to leave every day, but she has never been rated as an "advanced worker" Or "March [-] Red Banner Bearer".

"I work for fun, not to be a [-]." This is her motto.In fact, she really doesn't care about these things, she is very obsessed with her job in the police file room, Jonah said about her job: "Damn, I watch perverted things all day long, don't mention how exciting it is, There is no need to buy small newspapers."

However, even if you have a soft spot for your work, you shouldn't destroy other people's living habits, right? Moran muttered in her heart, but she also knew that it was a waste of time to tell her cousin, when Jonah wanted to say something Or when she wants to do something, she doesn't care about other people's feelings at all.Moran sometimes thinks that this is probably the real reason why my cousin has never been rated as advanced.

"What stuffing do you want to eat?" Moran decided to settle the topic quickly.

"Shepherd's purse, I want to eat shepherd's purse with meat."

"Understood. Kneel down." Moran was about to put his head under the blanket again when he finished speaking, but he heard Jonah's rough voice again not far away.

"Gao Jing asked me yesterday if you were at home today."

High competition?Why is he asking this question?Do you want to come to my house today?
"I just saw him yesterday, at Du Xiaomei's villa." Thinking about it, Moran felt bad luck. He had only been back for three days, and someone was killed while attending a class reunion, and he was one of the suspects.

"He said, you are one of the suspects," Jonah said.

Hey, sure enough.

"He asked you what I was doing at home?" Moran asked angrily, she found that Gao Jing would never do anything good for her.

"He might come to you. I don't know when he will come." Jonah suddenly laughed hoarsely, and the terrifying afro head shook in front of Moran's quilt, forming a monster-shaped shadow, "Wahhaha ,Wow haha."

"Why are you crazy?" Moran poked his head out and gave her a blank look.

"He ran over to me yesterday in a serious manner and asked me, when did you come back? What time did you arrive? Which flight? Who picked you up at the airport when you came back? Damn! It seems to be suspicious that you brought it back from France. Chemical weapons." Jonah said, walking towards the door, "Actually, I can guess with my feet, he just wants to know who is going to pick you up."

"Did you tell him?" Moran asked, resting his head on his arms.

"Why should I hide it from him?" Jonah laughed again, "Damn, after hearing that, his expression looks like he ate shit."

"He must be unhappy, Liang Yongsheng is his brother-in-law now."

"I think this is only a small part of the reason." Jonah said with a smile, leaving her room.

After being disturbed by Jonah, Moran could no longer sleep.High competition is really lenient!Is he investigating the case, or is he concerned about something else?Could it be because of Du Xiaomei's case?Speaking of which, I still don't know the real cause of Du Xiaomei's death. Could it be that she was poisoned to death by chronic poison?Could it be that he really regarded her as a suspect?Suspected that she had brought some kind of French designer poison back from France?God, he wouldn't think that Poison can only be interpreted as poison, right? Perfume is also called Poison. She suddenly remembered that she went to the police station to visit her cousin a few days ago, and gave her some small perfume, asking her to distribute it to her female colleagues. Well, Moran thought irritably, if he really suspected her, he was a hopeless fool!
After Jonah went to work, Moran lingered in bed for another two hours before getting up.After washing up, she ate her porridge and planned her day.

First, go to the vegetable market to buy wonton wrappers, meat and shepherd's purse, then go home to make wontons, and eat shepherd's purse wontons for lunch.At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I met with Liang Yongsheng to discuss the matter of divorce compensation. Liang Yongsheng has already called three times to confirm the appointment. I have never seen someone so eager to give money to others. She decided to have a drink with him once. Afternoon tea, and at the same time rip him off.Just like what her mother told her when she left France, you must not be polite to someone who betrays you, and you have to punish him to death, and if you can't get someone, just squeeze his wallet dry.Mom's golden words, you must remember, don't be soft-hearted, she reminded herself.

Then, she planned to go shopping in the city center in the afternoon, and she wanted to buy a skirt and shawl for winter.Then from 5:6 to [-]:[-], I went home to have dinner and watch TV at night. Moran felt that his day was really fulfilled, so he couldn't help feeling better.At this time, she suddenly saw her bag hanging on the hanger. The bag was new, a Prada bag she liked very much, but unfortunately it was too unlucky, and a murder occurred on the first day of using it. Moran decided to I don't need it when I go out, anyway, she has beautiful bags.

An hour later, she had finished shopping in the vegetable market and returned home.What she didn't expect was that when she returned home excitedly carrying two large plastic bags of ingredients, she found Gao Jing standing at the door of her house.

"Why did you come?" She asked bluntly, thinking that Jonah was right, he was coming today.

He didn't answer, just stared at the plastic bag in her hand.

"Did you go shopping?" he said, "I've been waiting for you for half an hour."

"You deserve it, and I didn't know you were coming." Moran thought to himself, you should be lucky, if I knew you were coming in advance, I might make you wait longer.

He ignored her attitude, snatched the plastic bag from her hand, and pointed to the door with his chin.

"Open the door."

Also ordered me.Moran gave him a blank look, and reluctantly opened the door.

After entering the house, according to her instructions, he carried the plastic bag to her kitchen.

"What's the matter for you?" She asked him coldly, and at the same time she started to work on her own, first she had to pick the shepherd's purse, then mixed it with meat sauce and soaked shiitake mushrooms.

"Congratulations." Gao Jing said, standing at the kitchen door watching her busy.

"What's there to congratulate?" Moran asked back.

"You have been cleared of suspicion. The time of Du Xiaomei's death was between 12:1 and 11:12 on December [-]. During this time, your friends all said that you were in a deep sleep," he said.

"I slept soundly, I was very tired that day." Moran admitted.

"In addition, Liao Yongli can sleep peacefully."

"Of course, he is in the detention center. It is impossible for Liao Yongli to kill people." Moran was not surprised by this at all.

"Then there are only three people left." Gao Jing said.She found that he was staring at her hand intently. There was nothing interesting about it, but he was just choosing shepherd's purse.

"You still want to say that one of them killed Du Xiaomei?"

"good."

"I can't imagine that there is someone you're looking for among them." Moran said coldly.

Gao Jing glanced at her disapprovingly. Whenever he entered the working state, he would become very calm and impersonal.

"I've already investigated the case of Ba Xiantang," he said.

"What's the inspiration?"

"To put it bluntly, it was a case about extramarital affairs, assuming that the murderer and that man were a couple. She ended up killing a third party."

"You can think so," Moran agreed.

"So I want to know why Du Xiaomei invited you to drink Ba Xian Tang. Obviously, she wrote the invitation just to draw your attention to the three characters 'Ba Xian Tang'. Otherwise, she doesn't need to write the invitation, she can Call, it's easier and more straightforward, she should have your number. Why would she do that?" He stared at her face with stern eyes.

You're right, this is where Moran was confused in the first place.

Why did she deliberately make them pay attention to these three words?In fact, there is only one reason.

"At first, I thought she was joking, and I thought she was probably trying to scare us. She has never been modest when she jokes, and she is younger than us, and she is a spoiled child," she said. .

"It's not a joke," he said flatly.

"Then what do you think?" Although the answer was already in Moran's mind, she still wanted to hear Gao Jing's thoughts.

"It's a threat."

threaten.Moran couldn't help thinking about it in his heart, and had to say that this word was used very appropriately.

"She wants to use Zhang Suping's example to threaten all of you, or one of you. If you dare to have any unclear relationship with my husband, I will chop you into pieces like Zhang Suping and stew It's eight delicious soups." Gao Jing said.He watched Moran scald the washed shepherd's purse in boiling water, then took it out and threw it into the cold pool, "So, she thinks that one of you must be Liao Yongli's lover. But she can't be sure. Who is it, that's why I invited you all here...... May I ask a question?" He suddenly changed his tone.

"What do you want to ask?" Moran glanced back at him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm soaking shepherd's purse. I'm going to make shepherd's purse wonton today." She said and looked back at him.

"Shepherd's purse wonton?" In an instant, his bright eyes became dull, and Moran only saw his two black eyeballs stuck like broken abacus beads, motionless. "Shepherd's purse wonton?" He asked again.

"The full name should be, shepherd's purse, shiitake mushroom and fresh meat wonton." She said.

"Oh." He responded unnecessarily, then lowered his head and stopped asking.

Moran knew why he had such an expression. Wontons with shepherd's purse and fresh meat had always been his favorite delicacy.

In fact, he likes all meat-related foods very much.At the age of 21, Gao Jing became an orphan whose parents died. For the next ten years, he lived frugally to raise his younger sister, who was ten years younger than him, and paid for her to finish college.Moran knew that in his best ten years, he had been in financial distress for most of the time. Although he was not hungry, it was also true that there was never decent food on the table.In the past, Moran often asked him to bring his sister to eat at his home because he couldn't see how poorly he ate. Before leaving, he always made snacks for him to take home.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

But she didn't want to turn this tenderness into a lunch for two, so she decided to continue the original topic.

"How did Du Xiaomei die?" She asked nonchalantly.

"She was strangled," he whispered, as if depressed.It seemed that it was because she didn't ask him to eat shepherd's purse wontons.

"Strangled with what? Unarmed?" she asked.

"The murder weapon was not found. But it is suspected to be something like a tie."

"If it's a tie, it's probably Liao Yongli's tie too." Moran sighed.

"Very likely, that was the easiest weapon to obtain at the scene, and there were more than a dozen ties in the closet," Gao Jing said.

"Does the murderer not want to implicate Yongli?" Moran muttered in a low voice.Place the soggy pile of shepherd's purse on a cutting board, ready to chop with a knife.

"What are you going to do?" His eyes lit up, and he regained his energy immediately.

"I'm going to chop it into fine pieces." She heard that he intended to do it for her, so she asked, "Do you want to help?"

"Okay, let me do it, I will do this." He immediately took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and walked up.

Moran looked up at him, hey, he was quite energetic.She handed him the knife.

"Okay, chop it up," she ordered.

While he was chopping vegetables, she kept silently mixing meat sauce and dicing shiitake mushrooms beside him.Both of them worked in silence, as if they had forgotten what they were going to say just now.

Ten minutes later, Moran finished mixing the wonton stuffing, took it to the table in the living room, and began to wrap the wontons slowly, while he sat across from her, without speaking for a while, just staring straight at Staring at the wonton wrappers on the table, he walked to the water dispenser and poured himself a cup of hot water.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" She decided to dismiss him quickly.

"Let's talk about Du Xiaomei's invitation again." He said.

"I think what you just said makes sense, but suspicion does not represent the truth."

"Oh? Do you think none of you are Liao Yongli's lover?" He asked back.

"I do not know."

"Actually, none of you are absent is the best proof." He said.

Yes, only those with a guilty conscience will deliberately avoid it.They are all familiar with the story of Ba Xian Tang, so it shouldn't be difficult to guess her intentions. From this point of view, the purpose of Gao Jing's coming to her today is not simply to congratulate her on getting rid of the suspicion.

"Well, I admit it's a possibility. What do you want to know?" she asked.

"How much do you know about those three people?"

"Of course I know a little bit. Who should I start with?"

"Whatever you want." He propped his chin with his hands and watched her making wontons with interest.

In fact, she thinks that none of these three people can be the murderer, but if she wants to say who is Liao Yongli's lover, she is a little uncertain. First of all, she thinks that Dai Rou, who behaves abnormally, is very suspicious.But is it really Dai Rou?A terrifying scene was immediately outlined in her mind. Dai Rou stood in the darkness with a sharp knife and turned around to grin at her. For a moment, she felt difficult to breathe, her hands and feet were cold, and her blood froze. She quickly reminded herself, It was safe daytime, and everything was just her fantasy.She shook her head and quickly pulled herself back to reality.

"Then let's talk about Rong Xi first." She decided to put Dai Rou aside first.

"Jiang Rongxi. The one who looks very sensible." He judged.

"You're right. She is indeed very sensible, smart and intelligent. She is especially proficient in financial matters. This may have something to do with her profession. She used to be an auditor."

"before?"
