Chapter 251 Hot Pot and the Case

At 09:30 in the evening, people who have worked all day are walking on their way home under the moonlight.The cold moonlight poured down on Wall Street in southern Manhattan, and the moonlight and lights echoed each other, outlining a grotesque oil painting in the blurred night.

Walking all the way back to the hotel, weary faces are reflected on the shiny elevator panels.When the elevator steadily ascended to the top, with a "ding" sound, the fragrant and spicy fragrance squeezed in through the gap of the elevator door. The rich fragrance made Lu Chi and Wei Linxuan in the elevator involuntarily take a deep breath.

Then, the more attractive aroma came into people's field of vision along with the scenery after the elevator door opened, invading people's sense of taste, and the assistant bodyguards with bowls, chopsticks, cups, plates and various ingredients in their hands kept shuttling between the dining room and the kitchen In the middle of the day, the noise of loud laughter accompanied by the gurgling sound of the hot pot soup bottom tumbling into the ears, and the warm yellow light pouring down from the crystal chandelier on the roof, the impression of home is at this moment, all-round and It impacts the wanderers in foreign countries with incomparable clarity.

"Brother, Linxuan, you are back!" Lu Heng, who was still wearing an apron, brought the last two plates of shrimp and fish balls to the table, glanced at Lu Chi and Wei Linxuan who were standing at the door in a daze, and said with a smile : "Go and wash your hands, we'll eat right away. We'll eat spicy hot pot today, brother, your favorite."

"The fish balls, shrimp paste and beef balls are made by ourselves. It took several hours. You can eat more later!"

Lu Heng stood at the dinner table and asked everyone to sit down while showing off his merits.The assistant bodyguards who had been busy with him at home for several hours took their seats one after another.In order to eat this meal, it was not easy for everyone, not to mention being messed around by Lu Heng when preparing the ingredients, just talking about the few plates of beef balls - but it was Lu Heng who asked the hotel to pick the best tendon meat from the kitchen, Then let the tall and strong bodyguards beat with their fists for two hours to make the most elastic balls.

As for the fish balls and shrimp slips, they were also made by Lu Heng himself after he selected the freshest live fish and shrimp, peeled, deboned, and pureed.Although Tao Xiaotao led his assistants to buy those beef and mutton slices at the market, they also selected the best and freshest beef and mutton slices on the spot according to Lu Heng's prompt.In addition to those fresh green vegetables and sweet potato slices, the plates are placed on the dining table, red, red, white, yellow, yellow, green, and green, paired with a pot of boiled and bubbling spicy butter soup base, it is simply index finger The big move is unbearable.

"This is too delicious!" Wei Linxuan, who couldn't wait to sit down at the dinner table after washing his hands and changing his clothes, glanced at the ingredients on the table, and felt that his eyes were a bit insufficient: "These meatballs are all from you. You did it yourself, have you been busy for a long time?"

"I haven't done anything for most of the day, so I just fixed it." Lu Heng answered, picked up a plate of beef slices and poured them into the pot. When he came out, Lu Heng held the elder brother with one chopstick, and Wei Linxuan with the other, and said with a smile, "Try it, how does it taste?"

The thin slices of meat are rolled in the hot and spicy soup, and when they come out, the color is full and shiny, with a little chili skin and peppercorns on the surface, and then dipped in a little bit of white sesame. ——The dipping sauce was also made by Lu Heng himself, using the freshly squeezed sesame paste, sesame oil, and the leftover minced meat from making beef balls and fried beef sauce in spicy sauce, and then sprinkled with a layer of crushed peanuts and fried white rice Sesame grains, the taste may not be authentic, but the taste is thick and fragrant, which can definitely please everyone's taste buds.

The mellowness of the beef itself is combined with the spicy soup base and the fresh fragrance of the dipping sauce. After chewing twice, all the flavors burst in the mouth instantly. The spicy aroma directly invades the internal organs along with the swallowing action, bringing the supreme While feeling satisfied, it also dissipated the thin coolness brought by the night breeze, and the whole person suddenly became warm from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, and then poured a sip of ice-cold beer or fruit drink, and the pleasure of alternating hot and cold in an instant Let the pores all over the body wish to relax happily.The feeling was so blissful that it was indescribable.Even a tiring day at work seems to be soothed under the comfort of this delicious food.

Lu Heng couldn't help smiling when he saw how excited his elder brother and Wei Linxuan were being fed and wagging their tails.Looking across the dining table and staring at Lu Zhiwei Linxuan's other people, he immediately said, "Don't just look at it, you have been busy all day, you must be hungry, you should eat something."

As he said that, he poured another plate of wide noodles, one plate of fish balls and one plate of shrimp paste into the pot.

As Lu Heng kept pouring things into the pot, everyone came to their senses and immediately started to eat.

Smooth and chewy wide noodles, springy and delicious fish balls, crispy and smooth shrimp paste, mellow and elastic beef balls, tender and plump lamb slices, crispy, smooth and grainy beef louvers , sweet and sweet sweet potato slices, cabbage leaves that are rich and delicious when dipped in soup...

This meal lasted until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was not until the glasses and plates were empty and there was no drink, that everyone ended the battle with happy faces covering their swollen bellies.

Tao Xiaotao, who was paralyzed on the seat, poked her chubby belly, and screamed happily, contentedly and unlovely: "It's so delicious, I haven't had such a good dinner for a long time... It's too much to eat. If you have too much, you will gain weight again. My plan to lose weight..."

Seeing Tao Xiaotao's cuteness, everyone looked at each other and smiled.A large group of people evacuated all the cups, plates and dishes to the kitchen, and each found a rag to wipe the table and mopped the floor. Lu Heng, who was full of food, stood in front of the sink in the kitchen, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and was about to use the dishwashing machine. way to digest food.

Lu Chi stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at it for a while, looking at the tall cups, plates and chopsticks full of red oil and dipping sauce - such a messy scene, he sincerely suggested: "Let's make a phone call and call the guest room. Let the servants clean up!"

Lu Heng stood in front of the sink with his hands on his hips and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay!"

I called the people in the service department, and in less than 3 minutes, someone knocked on the door with a trolley and came in immediately. After removing all the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks, the copper pot containing the hot pot soup base, and the empty wine bottles and soda cans, they were still there. Wang carefully cleaned the kitchen and dining room, and after thoroughly removing all kinds of smells, he also placed a bunch of freshly planted lilies and a fruit plate on the dining table.In an instant, the whole suite was occupied by the fresh scent of melons, fruits and flowers.

Professional service and professional attitude, no wonder Brother Lu Chi would rather stay in the hotel than go home.

Three days later, the police finally heard the news and preliminarily determined the cause of Kayla's death—it should be a sudden death caused by a one-time drug overdose.

When the news came out, the entire crew was relieved.Although the idea of ​​death from drug overdose is not very pleasant, but compared to the nonsensical rumors such as "the actress Keira was murdered, the murderer or the hidden crew", the death of drug abuse is at least Kayla's own problem.Moreover, in country M where marijuana smoking is quite common, news reports of actors taking drugs have always been common, even cases of drug deaths are not uncommon.So when the producer and crew of "CIA" got the news, they were really relieved, and immediately held a press conference to clarify the rumors, and at the same time, they were also making arrangements for the crew to resume work.

However, before the "CIA" crew could prepare for the press conference, Keira's parents and agent took the lead in expressing their doubts after being identified by the forensic doctor-they said that Keira did not have the habit of taking drugs at all, so The forensic doctor's firm drug overdose was definitely not Kayla's own behavior-on the contrary, after seeing the identification given by the forensic doctor, they became more suspicious that Kayla was murdered.

The utterances of Keira's parents and agent also "confirmed" the previous speculations of some news tabloids.After the case happened, most of the influential international media, which had been making regular reports and watching cautiously, also began to release reports cautiously—using all kinds of thought-provoking headlines and full of insinuations to guide readers to think about the "CIA" Who in the crew has a fatal conflict with Keira?Who is most suspected?Who could be the culprit for "inducing Kayla to take a one-time overdose"....

There is not a single word in the entire article that indicates that Kaila was murdered, but the meaning contained between the lines is simply Sima Zhao's heart.

And thanks to these gossip media with superb business level and ability to handle affairs, the crew of "CIA", which was already in a precarious situation, immediately fell into the torrent of doubts.The main creators and actors in the crew were the first to bear the brunt, and they were pulled out by the gossip media and the melon-eaters on the Internet one after another. It seemed that in an instant, everyone turned into Sherlock Holmes, and they were able to tell the story of "the man who killed Keira" across the computer screen and newspapers. The murderer" seems to be caught.

And because the main actors of "CIA" are all well-known international superstars, with fans all over the world, Keira's case has attracted the attention of netizens all over the world from the very beginning.

Under the focus of the global media and netizens, the entire police of country M has been under tremendous pressure, and under heavy pressure, the police of country M can only order the Hollywood police department in charge of the case to solve the case as soon as possible.The clueless Hollywood police had no choice but to investigate the scene of the crime over and over again, recording statements to the crew members, trying to find any clues.

However, what was even worse was that at the time of the incident (the Hollywood police announced that Keira's death time was basically between eight and nine o'clock in the morning), almost all members of the "CIA" crew gathered on the top floor of the studio, or It's a show accompanied by assistants and makeup artists, or a team of people get together to set up scene props.The only one who acted alone was Kayla's assistant - she obeyed Kayla's orders and went out to buy coffee and cupcakes, and based on the location of the coffee shop and the driving time to and fro, it was impossible for the assistant to show up when Kayla died At the scene of the crime - in fact, the driving recorder that was always on also proved the innocence of the little assistant!

In other words, at the time of the incident, the entire crew had a perfect alibi.

In addition to the members of the crew, the police also investigated Keira's social circle.Including Kayla's family and friends, and even rumors in the circle, the investor and financial backer she snatched from the second female lead Jennifer——

In the end, the suspicion of these people was ruled out one by one.

The case was once again at a standstill.Just at this time, an inexplicable and nonsensical rumor spread——

Rumors went so far as to say that Kayla's killer was a male actor who was also on the set.According to insiders, Keira is an extreme racist. She is very hostile to people of yellow race and once made inappropriate racially discriminatory remarks in private.So Kayla had a particularly bad relationship with certain actors on set.

And the reason why Keira was killed should be that her racially discriminatory remarks angered some people, so she provoked the murder!

Faced with this convincing rumor, which was still spreading with a lot of private rumors such as the China threat theory, as one of the "certain actors" who were innocently shot, Lu Heng could only look helpless. Looking at the sky and sighing!

What the hell is this!
