Chu Long had eaten Mexican food when he was a child. There was once a chef from Mexico on the ship. He returned home not long ago due to family reasons, but the Mexican delicacies made by that chef still remain in Chu Long's taste buds.
Mexican food is reflected in the lightness of the soup and the sourness and spiciness of the vegetables. Mexicans don't have as much etiquette when eating as the British do. When eating, they can use their hands to show their heroic spirit, which is a bit like Mongolian hand-chopped mutton.
Eating is a pleasure, and every meal is so grand.
Chu Long’s biggest understanding of Mexican cuisine is hot and sour. Their dishes continue to revolve around the theme of hot and sour, and chili pepper has become a necessity in their daily diet, just like salt and sugar.
Several of the dishes Chu Long ordered had been eaten on the boat when he was a child, but after so many years, he wanted to recall the original taste.
Beef with onions and black pepper is the Mexican dish that Chu Long has eaten the most and has the deepest memory of. The tenderness of the beef in your mouth makes you want to stop. The soft sweetness of the onions makes the whole beef filled with a nose-piercing fragrance. The whole portion
The most attractive thing about the beef with onions and black pepper is that the aroma of the barbecue sauce when it comes out of the pot is so tempting.
"Mr. Chu, do you know a lot about Mexican food?" Inspector Upton discovered this when Chu Long ordered food. The young man ordered Mexican food like a treasure from his family!
"When I was a kid, I often ate Mexican food for a while, but then I ate less." Chu Long replied casually.
"Mr. Chu, do you still have a Mexican chef at home?"
"Father's friend lived here for a while and the food he cooked was delicious." Chu Long said as he added the milk to the black tea and mixed it with a spoon.
"Inspector Upton, is that investigation report from John's Store just now?" Corporal Linn wanted to see that report just now and wanted to know what clues the police had found.
"Yes, this is the result of the preliminary investigation." Inspector Upton unconsciously sat forward and let the report on the back of his body completely fall behind him.
Both Corporal Lin En and Chu Long noticed Upton's body movements, but they both pretended that nothing happened. In fact, Inspector Upton deliberately wanted Corporal Lin En to notice his movements, just to tell them in a subtle way.
He, you better not take a good look at the investigation report, but Corporal Linn deliberately pretended not to see it.
"Inspector Upton, can you take a look at that report?" Corporal Linn, who was sitting next to Chu Long, said again.
Inspector Upton hesitated for a moment, considering that even if Corporal Lynn was rejected by him, he could still apply to the police department to view the investigation results. Since this is not as good as selling to the other party, it is worse than falling out.
Thinking of this, Inspector Upton still handed the report beside him to Corporal Linn.
When Corporal Linn took the report from Upton and was about to read it, Chu Long also turned his body to read the content of the report from the side.
When Corporal Lin En was about to look through the report, Chu Long saw from the side that on the cover of the case report was written "Attack on Utensil Store" and the name of the person in charge.
Turning over the first few pages of the report, the overall story of the case is written, from the discovery of the victim to the blockade of the scene. The many traces and doubts found are written line by line in the report. The following reports contain the analysis of the case.
Report analysis: 1. The coffee stains found on the shoe prints found in the backyard of John's store and the coffee in the broken cup in the kitchen came from the same cup of coffee.
After seeing this, Chu Long knew that his guess was correct. The criminal finally left from the backyard, and the coffee was stepped on when he left.
2. The damage marks on the door lock in the backyard of John’s store were determined to be damage caused by an axe.
Chu Long and his party did not enter the backyard and did not know much about it. It seemed that they would go to the crime scene again after the meal.
3. Judging from the diagonal spatter and spread of blood at the scene, the murderer attacked the victim when he was not paying attention. Judging from the positions occupied by both parties, it can be determined that the victim was unprepared for the murderer.
4. According to the neighbors of John’s store, a sterling silver ax with exquisite carvings that was not for sale was missing from the counter and was suspected to have been taken away from the scene by the murderer.
…
The entire report summarized, thought and analyzed all the investigated information. Chu Long and the others had just finished reading the report when lunch was delivered to the table.
While eating a delicious lunch, Chu Long and the others, like others, chatted about the changing weather in the UK and the delicious food around London. They all seemed to have made an agreement and did not mention the case report or anything related to the case.
things.
After lunch, Corporal Lynn ordered four more cups of coffee and scones for dessert. At this time, the number of people eating in the restaurant gradually decreased, and the waiters cleared away the messy leftovers from the tables, and at the same time restored the tables to their previous neatness.
New look.
"Waiter, another scone." Corporal Linn called a waiter.
"Okay sir, please wait a moment!" Just as the waiter was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped again by Corporal Linn.
"Wait a moment!"
"Sir, do you need anything else?" the waiter asked with a smile on his face.
"What time do you usually open and close?" Corporal Linn looked at the waiter and asked.
While Corporal Lynn was asking questions, two police officers at the table not far away who were taking a break after lunch came over and looked at the waiter who was about to answer.
"Sir, our restaurant opens at 7:30 in the morning, and the normal business hours are at 8:00 sharp. It closes at 10:00 in the evening." The waiter answered Corporal Linn's question calmly without any panic.
There was an injury incident in the store opposite. The police investigation was normal, and they had already come once, but it was not him who was asked. The owner of the restaurant had already explained this in advance. Whatever the police asked, just answer truthfully. This is
Only then came the scene where the waiter faced Corporal Lin's question without changing his expression.
"Has anything strange happened around here in the past two days?" Corporal Linn sat upright and asked, touching his chin with one hand.
"No, it's normal! I haven't seen anything strange." The waiter thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone.
"What are you responsible for in the restaurant?"
"I'm in charge of serving food."
"What do you do first thing in the morning and when does it end?" Corporal Linn frowned and asked.
"Check the hygiene of the kitchen and handle the ingredients. It will end at nine o'clock," the waiter said.
"Whoever is in charge of the dining room in your restaurant in the morning? If you call him, it will be your fault." Corporal Linn looked at the waiter in front of him and said. This guy comes in the morning and is busy in the kitchen, even if there is something strange.
He couldn't find out what happened, so he asked in vain.
"Sir, the person who cleans the house in the morning is not a permanent employee here. He is just a temporary employee. He has left now." The waiter looked at Corporal Linn and said.
Inspector Upton on the side has not said a word since Corporal Lynn started questioning him, as if he is just waiting to see what he can ask. As expected, so far, there has been no "nutritious" news at all.
Drinking black tea, then looking down.
At this moment, the cashier at the front desk came over and looked at Corporal Linn and said, "Sir, I know some things that I don't know if they will be of use to you."
"Say it!"
"In the past two days, I have to register the restaurant's new drink list in the morning. I came early and found some horse manure on the street."
"Usually the streets are cleared at five or six in the morning, but these days there are a lot of them scattered on both sides of the road." The cashier told Corporal Linn what he found strange.
"Maybe it wasn't cleaned up! Is there anything else strange?" Corporal Linn asked. He simply ignored the horse manure and didn't pay much attention to it.
But Corporal Lin En didn't care, but Chu Long became interested.
