"Maybe it's a warning." Xing Ze suddenly said after walking out of the hospital.
Ellie looked at him doubtfully.
"The question just now." Xing Ze explained.
Ellie understood. She bit her lip and thought for a while and said, "I don't understand. How can you tell?"
"Those corpses will initially be sent to the Muggle police station for autopsy. Think about it, smart lady. If those snake men appear in the Muggle police station, they will definitely bring about a bloody storm.
"According to what West said, these snake people will eventually die, which means that they are one-time products, and their purpose is only to cause enough chaos. If according to your theory, as a sacrifice to the gods, why bother
Are the embryos stored inside? Those four corpses are like four time bombs. When the time comes, bang——."
"It makes some sense." Ellie loosened her lips, with some lipstick on her white teeth, "But you can't rule out that it may be that these series of rituals are needed for the embryos to fully hatch. And if the Muggles open it in advance,
Gift, then your so-called bomb will become a squib."
Xing Ze smiled and said, "Don't forget, miss, there is still poison in the corpse."
"Very good, we have a disagreement. What to do next? Obviously, the four corpses are still unidentified, and the whereabouts of the great detective Frank are still unknown. It seems that all roads are blocked."
"Are you hungry?"
In response to Xing Ze's question, Ai Li raised her hand and looked at her watch and said, "I wouldn't mind having this lunch early. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Marguerite's, of course, my treat."
"Are you dating me?" Ellie asked, raising her eyebrows.
"I just want to apologize for the offense I just caused."
"Okay, I think so. Margaret's is a good restaurant, and their evaporated milk banana ice cream pie is famous." Ellie agreed.
"But you need to make a reservation there. But I think you should be a member of the restaurant."
Ai Li nodded, "Yes. I can't help but wonder what you are planning, Xing Ze."
…
The cake, which was only two fingers wide of Xing Ze's, cost twenty pounds. It was just a dessert, and the dinner must be more expensive. Xing Ze regretted saying that he was treating the guests.
There was no one in the restaurant at this time, and including Xing Ze, they only had three tables of customers. Whether it was out of revenge or teasing, Ai Li ordered a lot of dishes that were obviously expensive by their names. As for Xing Ze, he simply ordered
Ordered a pan-fried fish fillet.
With the status of miss members, they can come in to dine without making a reservation. The front desk manager is still the same, and as for his deputy, the previous male waiter has been replaced by an older woman.
The manager recognized Xing Ze at a glance and asked about what happened last time. Xing Ze casually made up a lie and said that the information would be of great help to Mr. Frank.
Ai Li understood the situation well and did not expose Xing Ze's lies, but also added a few words that were appropriate and beneficial. The words of the guest made the manager more confident, and he assured the two guests that the restaurant would help any guests in need.
When the main course came, Ellie had only eaten a third of the dessert. She ate gracefully and slowly, as if she was admiring an unparalleled work of art.
"Okay, I have gained enough energy in my brain and heart. So, let's talk." Ellie said with a napkin pressed gently at the corner of her mouth.
"What do you want to know?"
"This meal costs nearly three hundred and fifty pounds. I didn't let them open the wine, otherwise the price would be higher. I'm worried about your ability to pay."
"A gave me a lot of start-up capital, three hundred gold galleons."
"If I had known I should have asked them to open a bottle of wine." Ellie smiled, "Enough with the joke, tell me the real purpose of this meal. Stop using ridiculous excuses like apologizing to frustrate me.
"I don't really think you're sorry for the offense you just caused. Then you have other motives for inviting me to dinner. Of course, you don't want to flirt with me."
"Maybe I just want to pick you up?"
"Oh, really?" Ai Li held her chin with her hand and narrowed her eyes to look at Xing Ze.
In less than half a minute, Xing Ze begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, to be honest. I think the head chef here knows something, so I want to talk to him."
The eldest lady put away her charming eyes, tilted her head and thought for a moment and said, "Ah, I remembered it. You said that when Frank and the lady met, the head chef was also present, the whole time."
"Originally, I planned to go in directly through the back door and ask him, but it was a bit risky. Now that you are here, I have come up with an idea."
Ai Li stretched out her hand to stop Xing Ze from continuing, "You can reveal the mystery after I finish lunch. I don't want to ruin this rare good mood."
After they finished their meal, the front desk manager came over to settle the bill in person. Before paying, Ellie made a request to him.
"Today's grilled lamb chops were cooked just right. I haven't had such delicious lamb chops for a long time. If possible, we would like to go to the back kitchen to thank the chef in person."
"Thank you for your kindness, dear sir, beautiful lady. But the kitchen..."
"There's not a lot of people around now, right? I'm sure the kitchen won't be too busy, and I'm sure the head chef will be happy to see us."
"Can……"
"It's nothing, manager, it's just a friendly thank you. If this is not allowed, I really doubt what impact it will have on the restaurant if word gets out."
Beads of sweat formed on the manager's nose. The lady's several interruptions and extremely fast speaking speed gave him little time to react. He only understood the meaning of the last sentence.
At the same time, he also thought about the identity of this guest, one of the very few with gold membership status. After a short weighing, the manager agreed to the request.
After paying for the meal, he took Xing Ze and Ali to the back kitchen. At this time, the head chef was inspecting a plate of freshly baked foie gras.
The other chefs in the kitchen all cast doubtful looks. Under these looks, the manager walked up to the head chef and whispered something.
The head chef turned his head and saw that he was quite strong, with a Chinese character face and slightly fat.
"Oh, this is really my honor." After hesitating for a while, the head chef said with a smile, his eyes turning into crescents.
When it was Xing Ze's turn to shake hands with the head chef, Xing Ze whispered: "Mr. Frank asked me to say hello to you, head chef."
These words made the chef slightly stunned, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Xing Ze took the opportunity to say again: "I think you should have heard about the four corpses. They died in miserable circumstances, but I can't see any sadness on your face."
"What...what are you talking about, sir?" The head chef retracted his hand, his cheek twitching slightly.
The eldest lady quietly held the magic wand in her hand, and the looks of the chefs around her became more and more strange.
