Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Jin slowly raised his head: "Perhaps things are not as complicated as we thought."

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at her with confusion.

"We were so busy looking for the ingredients that we forgot to find out why they were missing."

Luo Bin was stunned for a moment: "The manager said it was stolen, but isn't this the mission background given by the game?"

After hearing this, other people had other ideas.

"You mean, we should find the thief first, and then get the food from him?" After Xu Qing finished speaking, he lowered his head to think about the possibilities.

Xiao Jin crossed his arms, and his left hand involuntarily rubbed the handle of the knife in his palm: "Well, let's guess, who is this thief?"

Unexpectedly, the next second, Tong Xiaolu raised his hand: "I know."

She curled her lips and said, "When I was in Blue Star, my family ran a restaurant. My mother always said that the chefs in the restaurant were not clean. They either stole meat or vegetables.

Therefore, the thief must be the chef in the kitchen."

This is not uncommon. The larger the place, the more likely there will be loopholes in management.

"Has anyone of you tried to find out what the NPC is saying?" Xu Qing asked.

Unexpectedly, before he got an answer, Xiao Jin suddenly stood up and said, "Why don't you just ask now?"

“Hey… don’t…”

Few players form teams because the quest items in this dungeon can be snatched, and everyone is afraid of being stabbed in the back.

Therefore, the five people who looked familiar, including Xiao Jin, sitting at the same table were quite conspicuous.

Many players would secretly glance at the five people, not to mention that Xiao Jin suddenly stood up and it seemed that he was heading for the female manager.

The players became excited and wondered what this guy was going to do.

At the same time, Xiao Xin, who was not far away, pulled his hand off his leg without leaving a trace, looked up and saw Xiao Jin.

She was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be some confusion in her eyes.

This person... seems familiar. Is he the player I met in the game world before?

Xu Qing saw Xiao Jin go to find the manager, and combined with what she had just said, he immediately understood what Xiao Jin wanted to do.

Then he stood up and wanted to go together, but was held down by Cui Mingyang.

Xu Qing's expression was a little cold: "What are you doing?"

Cui Mingyang didn't mind at all: "What do you want to do? Or do you think Ying is the kind of person who gets carried away by impulse?"

"So you're just going to sit here?" He was of course aware of Xiao Jin's abilities, but that didn't mean he could sit there and wait for a ready-made meal with peace of mind.

"It's still uncertain whether the female manager can be provoked, but at least if something unexpected happens, I can immediately assist." Xu Qing shook off Cui Mingyang's hand: "Even if the female manager is not in danger, it doesn't mean those idiots won't have crooked ideas."

After saying that, he immediately caught up with Xiao Jin.

Cui Mingyang was quite helpless: "This person...at least listen to me!"

Luo Bin on the other side hurriedly passed by and said, "Okay, Brother Cui, you should change your habit of slow talking. I know what you want to say, don't worry."

After saying that, he ran over.

Over there, Xiao Jin had no idea that the two people behind her almost got into a quarrel because of her.

She had now arrived in front of the female manager. The closer she got, the heavier the negative energy around her became.

Xiao Jin came straight to the point: "Hello, which chef should we give our ingredients to?"

Her voice was not loud, but all the players who were paying attention here could hear it clearly and were immediately shocked!

What does this kid mean? Does she have food ingredients?

Xiao Jin noticed many fiery gazes falling on him, but his expression remained calm. However, Xu Qing and others who arrived later looked around vigilantly.

Here, the female manager turned her head and looked at Xiao Jin who was approaching. Her sinister eyes were sticky and cold when they fell on her.

"Just give the ingredients to Chef Zhang in the kitchen."

"Thank you." Getting the answer meant that my guess was half right.

After saying that, Xiao Jin left the hall and walked towards the kitchen.

No! That's it. Can you find the thief with just one sentence? Could it be that Xiao Jin suspected this Chef Zhang? How did she think of that?

Xu Qing and the other three people behind him had different expressions, but none of them were in a hurry to ask.

After the five people left, the quiet players stood up one after another as if they had come back to life, and sneakily ran to the kitchen.

Damn it, I have to snatch the food from those people. Even if I can't snatch it, I have to ask where they got it from.

………………

The kitchen is hidden in a corner deep in the first floor, separated from the front hall by a screen.

Xiao Jin took light steps and walked through the front hall to the door of the back kitchen in just a few steps.

She stood still, ignoring the greedy gazes around her with an almost indifferent attitude.

When I came here before, I paid more attention to the storage cabinets, dish racks, and the space under the island counter, but I didn't take a close look at the staff.

Xiao Jin stopped and her eyes, like a sharp falcon, quickly scanned the bright environment. Finally, her gaze fixed on a seemingly inconspicuous figure, and then she strode forward.

This move stunned the players behind him.

She...she actually went in. She's so brave!

The person in front of Xiao Jin was short, about forty years old, with a slightly red face. When she smelled carefully, she could detect a faint aroma of alcohol on the other person.

The other person's upper body was wearing a neat chef's uniform, no different from an ordinary chef. However, when Xiao Jin's gaze slowly moved down, he discovered.

His lower body was not made up of human legs, but instead was composed of a mass of brown, sticky substance that could wriggle.

It is covered with a translucent film that emits a faint blue light, and there is a circle of rough gray-black scales on the outermost edge.

Xiao Jin was not surprised at all. She said calmly, "Are you Chef Zhang?"

Cui Mingyang and the other three behind him remained silent, and then they saw that the man Xiao Jin called Chef Zhang actually nodded.

"Is there something?" He spoke very rudely, his slanted pupils staring at Xiao Jin, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The players nearby were all rubbing their hands, looking excited.

Here it comes, here it comes, she is about to take out the ingredients.

Just seconds after showing up!

In the end, Xiao Jin still did not move, but asked a question that stunned everyone.

"How do you want to exchange the ingredients you have?" Xiao Jin asked.
