Tao Yiran didn't know what she was thinking of. She was so lost in thought when she looked at the red charcoal inside the stainless steel casing and pig iron lining barbecue that she didn't even hear Xiao Yiyun's words.
Seeing Tao Yiran's appearance, Xiao Yiyun said nothing more. It wasn't until the owner of the barbecue restaurant came over and asked the two to order skewers that he brought Tao Yiran back to reality.
Tao Yiran opened her mouth and ordered the skewers. She was very skillful in ordering a lot of skewers, and the quantity was also very precise. It was enough for two people.
"Wait a moment, we'll be there soon." The skewers order form for the barbecue restaurant is printed and in the form of a form. The names of various skewers are written on the front, and the grid at the back is empty. You only need to fill in the quantity.
Xiao Yiyun sighed slightly,
Tao Yiran asked: "Why are you sighing?"
"What were you thinking about just now? You were so absorbed that you didn't even hear what I said," Xiao Yiyun asked,
"Ah, what did you say?" Tao Yiran said in surprise,
"I said I already had a barbecue tonight and I can't eat anymore. Whatever you want to eat, just order your own amount," Xiao Yiyun repeated what he had said.
Tao Yiran nodded silently and said: "I didn't hear it, but even if I heard it, I would order these,"
When Xiao Yiyun heard that Tao Yiran reported that he was so skillful with the pile of skewers and the quantity was so accurate, he already knew the result, so he did not stop the owner of the barbecue restaurant from removing some skewers.
"You know how to bake," Tao Yiran asked aloud at this time,
"It's okay," Xiao Yiyun replied,
Tao Yiran tried her best to smile at Xiao Yiyun and said: "Then if you can eat it, eat it. If you can't eat it, bake it for me."
There is nothing wrong with this. Even if Tao Yiran doesn't say anything, if a man and a woman are having barbecue, they can't let the girl act as the master of the skewers, right?
Soon, a large number of skewers ordered by Tao Yiran were delivered. Xiao Yiyun quickly set up the oven and grilled the marinated skewers on the oven. The unique flavor of barbecue spread out.
Tao Yiran dragged her cheeks and watched Xiao Yiyun grilling these kebabs in fascination, almost without blinking.
"Okay, let's eat," Xiao Yiyun handed a handful of grilled meat skewers to Tao Yiran,
Tao Yiran raised her head, wiped her eyes and said, "Boss, a box of cold beer,"
The beer was delivered quickly. Tao Yiran opened two bottles and handed one to Xiao Yiyun, but did not say anything else. He just poured himself a glass of beer, drank it all in one breath, and then closed his eyes and slowly chewed Xiao Yiyun's baked goods. The skewers, as if the skewers cooked by Xiao Yiyun are a rare delicacy in the world,
Tao Yiran looked like this, and even a fool could tell that he was worried. Xiao Yiyun poured a glass of beer into his beer glass, but didn't drink it. He just waited quietly for Tao Yiran's next words. Tao Yiran would definitely say something. Yes, but I don’t know when she will speak. Moreover, once she speaks, it is inevitable to drink two beers with her and listen to her continue talking.
Although he already knew that Tao Yiran would definitely speak, Xiao Yiyun did not expect that after waiting for more than an hour and all the customers in the barbecue restaurant had left, Tao Yiran spoke. At this time, Tao Yiran clicked Xiao Yiyun also grilled one-third of these kebabs, and she also ate one-third,
Xiao Yiyun continued grilling skewers, and Tao Yiran spoke softly: "Actually, I like barbecue very much. Every time I get greedy, my brother takes me to barbecue. We order these things every time," Tao Yiran pointed at the kebabs she ordered,
Xiao Yiyun nodded, and then he realized that he had thought wrong. When he saw Tao Yiran ordering those skewers so skillfully and measuring the quantity so accurately between the two of them, for a moment, Xiao Yiyun's thought was "dog" Bloody plot, Tao Yiran was abandoned by a man. Before, this man often had barbecues with Tao Yiran.
The man guessed correctly, but his identity was not correct. This man who often took Tao Yiran to barbecue was Tao Yiran's brother, not some other relationship.
"You don't know, my mother is very strict and thinks barbecue is junk food," Tao Yiran said with a happy smile on her face: "My brother and I go out to eat barbecue secretly, and every time we finish the barbecue we have to Staying outside for a long time, trying to get rid of the smell of barbecue and chewing gum,"
"Your mother is indeed very strict," Xiao Yiyun was a little speechless. What's wrong with eating barbecue? If you really talk about it, barbecue seems to be a traditional delicacy. It is much better than those foreign garbage, isn't it?
Tao Yiran did not answer Xiao Yiyun's words, but asked: "I haven't had barbecue for several years. Do you know why?"
Xiao Yiyun shook his head simply. He couldn't guess the answer to this question.
"My brother is dead," Tao Yiran gritted her teeth when she said this.
"What?" Xiao Yiyun was shocked, and a bad thought flashed through her heart. Tao Yiran's brother died, which caused her not to have barbecue for several years. There seemed to be a big problem here...
As expected, Tao Yiran said: "My brother was also a student of Tianhai University, but he was two years earlier than me. When he went to university, I was a sophomore in high school. In the second semester of his freshman year, he died in Tianhai. , by the time our family got the news and rushed over, the body had already been taken to the morgue.
Of course we requested an autopsy, but the official autopsy results said that my brother died due to cardiac arrest caused by cardiac ischemia and hypoxia due to acute myocardial infarction,"
"What kind of disease is this?" Xiao Yiyun was confused, hearing a series of nouns that made him dizzy.
"To put it simply, it is sudden death, and it is natural death." Tao Yiran grinned, a very scary smile: "There is a chance of such sudden death, but it is very small. It can be ignored. Our family does not have it. He has a history of heart disease. My brother usually pays attention to exercise, so this statement is not valid."
"My family also has some background. Of course, we will not accept this theory of death. We immediately used our connections to find out the real cause of my brother's death." Tao Yiran said sadly, "But, after all, my family is not from Tianhai. The narrow-mindedness of local protectionism , which led to the case being hastily closed, and the final decision was that he died of natural causes."
"Then you..." Xiao Yiyun didn't know what to say.
"I'm not from here, so I can't use my strength," Tao Yiran said sadly, "I can only give up like this, but I will never give up, so when I filled out my application for the college entrance examination, I went straight to Tianhai University. "
Hearing Tao Yiran's words, Xiao Yiyun couldn't help but take a deep breath in her heart. Tao Yiran didn't come to school. She came to investigate the cause of her brother's death.
As expected, Tao Yiran gritted her teeth and said, "I want to find out the true cause of my brother's death and cut the person who killed my brother into pieces."
"But it's not that easy to find out, right?" Although Xiao Yiyun couldn't bear to pour cold water on Tao Yiran, he had to say this: "You came to Tianhai to go to school alone, and you are not familiar with the place, and you don't have any clues. Too difficult,"
"There are no clues, so what else should I investigate," Tao Yiran said coldly: "Of course there are clues. The autopsy report from the police at that time was one thing, and what I heard was another thing. It's a coincidence that we The family was waiting for the autopsy report in the criminal police team. I don't know what happened. The first forensic doctor who performed the autopsy on my brother seemed to be unaware. He didn't complete the autopsy on my brother, so he moved to another court with a different person. At that time, he said that corpse No. 325 died of drug overdose.
Of course, I didn't know at that time that he was the forensic doctor who performed my brother's autopsy. Later, the police issued this autopsy report to us. I asked to see my brother's body. Unfortunately, my brother's body number was 325,”
"So, your brother died of drug overdose," Xiao Yiyun asked with a frown.
"He probably died of drug overdose, but he definitely didn't take the initiative," Tao Yiran said with certainty: "I have said, my mother is very strict, and it is impossible for my brother to dare to take drugs. Besides, he During this year at Tianhai University, my living expenses were always the same. I never asked for a penny more from my family, so how could I have any spare money to take drugs?”
This is a reasonable explanation. Xiao Yiyun nodded silently. The price of drugs is no cheaper than gold. If you don't have money, you really can't afford it.
After listening to what Tao Yiran said, Xiao Yiyun finally understood everything. Why did Tao Yiran hate gangs so much and why she lied that she didn't like barbecue...
However, as far as these are concerned, it cannot be completely proved that it was Tao Yiran's brother who was killed by Tao Yiran. Of course, I just think about this in my heart and cannot say it out loud.
Xiao Yiyun sighed silently in his heart. Tao Yiran's brother has been dead for several years. Even if he knew this information, it would be difficult to check it now.
"It's a little late now," Xiao Yiyun said this unbearably: "The case was closed several years ago, and now it's even more difficult to investigate again."
"I didn't want to, but my family wouldn't let me," Tao Yiran said. "Even when I came to Tianhai University, I filled out my application secretly. My mother knew what I wanted to do. Before I came to Tianhai University, she tried to obstruct me in every possible way. Later, , I promise to come here only to go to school, that’s when I give up,”
Tao Yiran said it quite easily, but you can imagine how much obstruction Tao Yiran encountered before coming to Tianhai.
"You are looking for Lin Luoying to ask her to help you investigate the cause of your brother's death," Xiao Yiyun frowned and said, "Tao Yiran, if this is the case, I advise you not to have too much hope. You also know that what Lin Luoying originally had is now handed over to What is in my hands is an underground force, and this is not something she can do,"
