Seeing that there was nothing going on at the police station, Qin Nan went to the nearest hot pot restaurant with Wu Haotian and Zeng Li.
Qin Nan also hadn't eaten for a day, and the four of them ate for nearly an hour and a half. When it was time to check out, when Qin Nan saw the bill, he thought he had read it wrong. The four of them had spent a total of nearly 600 yuan.
He looked at the sign on the scale, which weighed six kilograms. Then he looked at the portions of duck intestines and drinks on the table. He calculated that it was almost 600 yuan.
If it were that self-service barbecue restaurant, the four people would only be a little over three hundred, but at this time, that restaurant had already closed.
"Thank you, Brother Nannan, you are the most generous~" Zeng Li said with a smile while touching her belly.
Qin Nan just smiled awkwardly. Just as Zeng Li stood up, Zeng Li suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong? Are you full? There are Jianweixiaoshi tablets in the car." Qin Nan said.
"No, now I suddenly want to eat at that self-service barbecue restaurant. Oops, why did we come here to eat this!" Zeng Li said with some regret.
Qin Nan was speechless for a while: "Okay, I'll take you to eat tomorrow..."
Before Qin Nan finished speaking, Zeng Li and Mo Dan started laughing from ear to ear. He and Wu Haotian looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Wu Haotian was driving, and several people were on their way home. The two sisters sitting in the back started snoring within two minutes. Qin Nan glanced back and breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that the two sisters would have a certain psychological shadow after this incident, but after seeing them falling asleep, he smiled helplessly.
At this time, he suddenly remembered Wu Haotian's exam today, so he asked: "By the way, Haotian, how did you feel about this exam?"
"It's pretty good, but it's not a perfect score." Wu Haotian said expressionlessly.
Qin Nan swallowed. As expected, Wu Haotian was aiming for perfect scores in the exam, but as long as he could get high scores and go for interviews, with his background as a veteran, he should have no problem joining the Song Yi Police Force...
Several people slept until noon the next day before slowly waking up. Since they were having a buffet barbecue tonight, they didn't eat breakfast or lunch. Plus the meal they had last night,
It seems that they haven't fully digested it yet, so they stayed in bed until three o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did a few people slowly get up from the bed. Since Zeng Li and Mo Dan's clothes and mobile phones had already been thrown away by those people, they disappeared.
So Qin Nan planned to spend some money to buy the two of them new clothes and cheap, cost-effective mobile phones. Since the Chinese New Year was coming soon, he also wanted to show Wu Haotian's clothes by the way.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Nan and the others came to the self-service barbecue restaurant last time. Since it was a working day, and there was a new hot pot restaurant nearby, they were doing discounts these days.
So there were only five or six tables of people in the barbecue restaurant at this time.
"Welcome..." The boss greeted him with a smile. When he saw it was the four of them, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Boss, four of us..." Qin Nan looked at the boss and said with a smile. When he looked at the boss's deflated expression, Qin Nan pretended not to see it.
He smiled awkwardly, and then the boss arranged a seat farther away from where the food was served.
They originally wanted to get a seat where they could get food, but the boss said that someone had already reserved a seat there.
However, this still could not resist the enthusiasm of the "four" of them. Qin Nan directly turned on the firepower to the maximum. In about half an hour, the four of them finished off nearly forty plates of barbecue.
The boss over there also covered his face when he saw it and shook his head helplessly.
"Freshly baked scallops and oysters, come and get them if you need them~" At this time, the master grilling oysters not far away said.
At this time, there were only four tables in the barbecue restaurant with customers, and the business was not as good as last time. However, there were no oysters, scallops, etc. when I came last time.
Now the selling point of oysters has been added, which seems to be to attract customers as a gimmick of seafood, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
It didn't take long for the more than thirty grilled oysters to be taken away. Qin Nan and the four of them took more than twenty.
The boss couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, and seemed to admit defeat.
Several people's stomachs felt like bottomless pits this time, especially Zeng Li. The two of them ate a total of about sixty plates of pork belly, which is about one hundred and twenty slices...
It's approaching nine o'clock, and it's time for the barbecue restaurant to close.
Zeng Li burped and seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts. Then they took a few more Jianweixiaoshi tablets and then slowly stood up.
"Oh my god, it's so uncomfortable. Cousin, let me lend you your shoulder..." Zeng Li hunched over, put her right hand on Qin Nan's left shoulder, and walked slowly towards the entrance of the barbecue restaurant.
past,
Mo Dan also rested on Zeng Li's left shoulder. Although Qin Nan and Wu Haotian were better than the two sisters, they were not much better.
"Four of you, go slowly. Welcome next time..." The boss swallowed the last two words, as if he didn't want them to come again.
The boss stood at the door, watching the four of them leave, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The price must be increased..."
He looked at the busy hot pot restaurant next to him and shook his head.
At the Lijie Noodle House next to the barbecue restaurant, the woman closed the rolling shutter door, carried her bag and walked back towards her home. It had been a tiring day, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted.
She walked into an alley. This alley was a place she would pass every day. Very few people would pass by this alley, and they often heard of people robbing people here, but the woman had never encountered one yet.
Not long after she stepped into the alley, she heard the sound of a pair of sneakers coming from behind. The woman couldn't help but frown. She slowly turned her face and looked behind her.
No one was found behind her. She stopped, turned around, looked around and found nothing unusual. She tightened the bag on her shoulder and continued walking home.
At this time, in the quiet alley, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of her feet stepping on the snow. Just as she breathed a long sigh of relief, suddenly, the sound of a second person's footsteps came again in this quiet alley.
.
The woman did not dare to look back this time. She squeezed the bag on her right shoulder tightly and ran towards her home at a very fast speed. Just as she started running, the frequency of the footsteps behind her also accelerated.
.
Suddenly, a hand directly covered the woman's mouth, and a bright knife appeared in front of the woman's eyes...
"Hey, 110? There's a death here. Someone, please come quickly!" An aunt on the other side of the phone said anxiously.
"Auntie, don't worry, please tell me the address in detail..." the policewoman asked.
It didn't take long for several police officers to arrive at the place where the aunt called the police.
Ma Xiaotao also rushed to the scene. When she was about to leave work, she didn't expect a call from the command center. Her family also lived nearby, so she went out with the police.
When several people rushed to the scene, the originally deserted alley was now surrounded by several melon-eating people.
"This is such a tragic death. How could he be so cruel, tsk tsk." said a middle-aged man wearing a coat and pajamas.
"No, well, people are often robbed here. I didn't expect a murder to happen today." Another aunt wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket said,
The residents above the building also opened their windows one after another. Some even covered their eyes with their hands, but they opened their hands a tiny gap to observe the crime scene downstairs.
"Everyone give way, everyone give way, don't destroy the scene, Xiao Zhao, quickly set up a cordon!" Ma Xiaotao said to the trainee police officer on the side.
Ma Xiaotao squeezed her way to the front of the crowd and saw the contents of a woman's backpack scattered all over the floor, including lipstick, RMB, photos, etc.
The scene looked very chaotic. At this time, she heard a woman not far away who was huddled under a telephone pole and crying, with very frightened eyes.
Ma Xiaotao looked in the direction of the woman and saw a man lying on the ground near the garbage dump, his body covered with blood, and there was an ax that had not been pulled out on the back of his head...
