Chapter 38 The disappearing pufferfish and inconsistent palm prints (serious title, I didnt emphasize anything)
"Please have a seat, please have a seat! I wonder what you two would like to eat?"
The waiter was very polite, and even enthusiastically served Luo Qiu and Youye the menus on their respective stools.???
Luo Qiu looked at the menu for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Is there any pufferfish cuisine?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry." The waiter said apologetically: "If I order now, I probably won't be able to make it."
Luo Qiu asked curiously: "But isn't it written on the menu? And it's a signature dish."
The waiter said: "Sir, you also know that puffer fish is difficult to handle. If the chef's technique is wrong, it will be very troublesome for people to eat it. This puffer fish dish is indeed the signature of our store, but our shop is the only one that can handle puffer fish. The master of the fisherman got it when he got on the boat, so he can't hold the knife for the time being."
"Oh?" Luo Qiu nodded, "In other words, there are actually no pufferfish here?"
The waiter said: "That's not true, the boss has purchased the goods. But the master can't handle it, so he can only put it in the freezer. It won't go bad anyway, it's just not that fresh."
Boss Luo nodded and suddenly asked: "There should be quite a few people coming here to eat puffer fish, right?"
The waiter looked quite good-natured. He smiled at this moment, then glanced at the front desk, and then lowered his voice and said: "To be honest, although it is a signature dish, the sales of this dish are really not good... You also know that this If you don't eat pufferfish, it will kill you, so many people don't dare to eat it. The boss is just making a gimmick, but in fact, he can't sell a few copies a day. But in fact, if you dare to eat it, it actually tastes really good. It’s very good! I’ve eaten it before, and the taste is indescribable! I’ll definitely want to eat it a second time after eating it once.”
"But not now, right?" You Ye said calmly at this time.
The waiter could only smile awkwardly, looking at this extremely beautiful woman who seemed to be stunned and couldn't take her eyes away, "But, I'm serious! This puffer fish is really delicious! Even the ones we have here are The captain is a fan!”
"Captain...are you here to eat too?" Luo Qiu put down the menu.
"Well, I'm a regular customer." The waiter pointed to the corner of the restaurant, "Every time I come here, the captain will sit in that seat and order a puffer fish dish..."
That's where you can see the sea.
"Did the captain come yesterday?" Youye asked curiously.
The waiter showed an obsessed look and said subconsciously: "I also came here for lunch yesterday, but I didn't get the puffer fish either. Then I chatted with the chef for a while and left."
"Give us a sushi platter." Youye smiled and said, "No need for anything else."
The waiter nodded and left this Japanese-style restaurant with some disappointment. The kitchen was open, so the waiter walked directly to the kitchen workbench.
Probably because of the death on the deck, many tourists did not go out, and the entertainment area seemed much deserted. There were only a few kittens in the restaurant at this time.
An elderly chef in the kitchen is making soup, with gauze wrapped around his wrist. He is probably the chef who can handle pufferfish. There are two other chefs who are also tinkering with something.
"What have you ordered?" Probably because he was too busy, the young chef who usually made food based on orders asked boredly.
The waiter shrugged and said, "I originally ordered puffer fish, but there wasn't any, so I ordered a platter."
"The puffer fish..." The young chef nodded, then suddenly looked at the old master and said, "By the way, master, I checked the freezer this morning, and it seems that there is a puffer fish missing."
The old chef who was stirring the soup pot turned around and said, "Are they missing? There are twelve in total. Have you counted them clearly?"
"After counting clearly, there are eleven."
"Eleven items? Did I remember it wrong?" The old master frowned, "I'll look at the purchase order later. You make the customer's things first."
"Okay."
After a while.
"Sir, Miss, your sushi platter." The waiter came back with the plate.
Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Please pack it up and we can take it away."
…
…
"The palm print stopped here...could it have fallen from the ceiling?" Lin Feng looked up at the top of the corridor.
Ma Houde shook his head and said: "If it fell from above, would the ceiling still be in good condition? Besides, the deceased shed so much blood, isn't there any blood on it?"
"That's right..." Lin Feng nodded, and then said in confusion: "But the palm started from here... Could this person still appear out of thin air? The surveillance didn't capture it. This night was so magical, wasn't it?"
As he spoke, Lin Feng knocked on the wall next to him.
"What are you knocking on?" Ma Houde asked blankly.
Lin Feng said: "Let's see if there is a secret door or something like that. Maybe it came out of a secret door?"
Ma Houde also started knocking... Fei Ying, who was being dragged by Ma Sir, looked at the two of them with a retarded expression, shook his head and said: "Ah, sir, if there is a secret door here, it won't be This kind of structure.”
"What do you have in mind?" Mahoude glared at him like a flying eagle.
"Ah, sir, how about you let me go first and I give you some advice? I promise not to leave!" Fei Ying said with a smile.
"If you don't tell me, I promise not to embarrass you." Ma Houde said seriously.
Fei Ying... I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Uncle Ma, you are indeed here."
Suddenly Luo Qiu's voice came. Ma Houde looked back and saw Luo Qiu and You Ye walking side by side, so he asked curiously: "Little Luo Qiu, why are you here? Aren't you guys accompanying your aunt? ?”
Luo Qiu smiled and said, "I saw someone guarding you on the deck, so I knew you were here. Then the police officer didn't say anything when he saw me. He just told me you were here and let me in."
After all, there is a relationship. Everyone in the entire brigade admires the man who died heroically. Seeing his child, they feel a sense of friendship. If Ren Ziling can come and go at will, then in fact Luo Luo The same goes for Qiu.
It's just that this child rarely uses this kind of privilege and never shows off anything... This is the reason why Ma Houde feels a hundred times more at ease with Luo Qiu than with Ren Ziling.
"That guy is the same." Mahoude shook his head, "Forget it, come as soon as you come, there's nothing good about it."
"Eat something." Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, you didn't even have time to eat breakfast. It's already past one in the afternoon, so you should be hungry. Sushi platter, okay."
"Speaking of which, I'm really hungry."
Ma Houde suddenly moved his index finger. Since he couldn't control his physical exertion all night last night and now, his stomach is completely empty. Now he is hungry. How can he hold it back?
"You're still nice to me! If I relied on that woman in your family, I probably wouldn't even give me water to drink!" Mahou De happily took the packing box sent from You Ye, "Lin Feng, you should also eat some, eat.
I’m full and ready for work!”
Seeing the two police officers sharing sushi here, Fei Ying swallowed his saliva subconsciously... He was also completely hungry all night and all morning.
Not even a sip of boiled water... The cruelest thing in the world is when you are hungry, knowing that food is right in front of you, but you cannot enjoy it.
"Want to eat?" Mahoude smiled and brought a piece of sushi to Fei Ying.
Fei Ying immediately stretched out his hand with a smile. Unexpectedly, Ma Houde directly retracted his palm, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it happily.
...so cheap!
"Ah, sir, I surrender, did I say that?" Fei Ying could only say helplessly, "I'll tell you what I've learned, can you at least let me have something to eat?"
"Tell me about it. If it's useful, I'll reward you." Ma Houde nodded.
Fei Ying looked at the sushi that was not much left and said quickly: "Ah, sir, have you ever thought that Qian Guoliang didn't start walking around from here?"
Ma Houde was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Fei Ying pointed to the palm print here and said: "The palm print starts here, but this place is quite special. The camera cannot capture it at the corner, so it is a blind spot. At most, you can only see Qian Guoliang appear from this place, right?
Bar?"
Fei Ying pointed to a certain location in the passage that turned the corner towards the deck, "From here on, it should be the scene where Qian Guoliang appears, right?"
Ma Houde frowned... What Fei Ying said was true. The picture on the surveillance video was indeed like this.
But this guy has never seen it, and he can actually deduce... I don’t know where it came from. I’m afraid it’s not just a little thief. “Then what?”
"Then the palm prints don't match up." Fei Ying said coldly: "The bloody hand prints seem to go all the way. But they are actually two different hand prints, and their palm prints are inconsistent!"
This time, Feiying dragged Ma Houde to a door in the passage that marked the utility room. He pointed at the handprint on the door and said: "After this door, go to where the corner begins to appear. This section,
It’s completely different from the one leading to the deck.”
"True or false?" Lin Feng was stunned, frowned and turned his palms up, then compared them one by one, and then said: "It's true, the length of the little finger is slightly different...it's really different.
!But you can still find out that the palm prints are different? These eyes are so good!"
Feiying said proudly at this time: "How is it? Sir, am I right? Can you give me something to eat?"
Ma Houde snorted coldly and put the box directly into Fei Ying's hand, "Eat it! You have merit this time."
Fei Ying laughed twice, feeling that his stomach could no longer be controlled. He opened the box without saying a word, but could only see a destroyed pile of wasabi, and there was no sushi anywhere.
?
The two policemen next to him looked at the ceiling as if they could not see anything. Mahoude suddenly burped and pressed his teeth with his fingers.
Fei Ying... Fei Ying dropped the box to the ground and burst into tears at the scene of the murder case. He choked on the lump of mustard that he had taken down and ate when he was so grief-stricken and angry.
