Suspected death is coming

Chapter 52 1 Accidentally Became a Liar

Yuan Che looked at Ke Ran, who was looking around with great interest, as if they were not sitting in a dirty breakfast shop in a residential alley, but in the lobby of a five-star hotel, and he showed a pleasing expression.

What made Yuan Che even more puzzled was that during this period of time, when watching Ke Ran eat, he was more inclined towards vegetarian dishes. He once saw him pick out the poor meat from the plate and put it aside, so careful that even a shred of meat None stay.

Why is he still eating meat buns now?

"Aren't you a vegetarian?" Yuan Che felt that he didn't need to mutter in his heart, it was his style to ask directly.

"Me? Who said that?" Ke Ran finally stopped looking around and turned to look at Yuan Che with raised eyebrows.

"I see that you don't seem to like meat very much when you usually eat."

Ke Ran lowered his head and fiddled with the disposable chopsticks on the table:

"Ah, let's see when I'm in a good mood, I'll eat meat. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll be a vegetarian. You see, I'm in a good mood now, so of course I eat meat."

Yuan Che thought about this sentence, it sounded very reasonable, but why is it a bit unpleasant to taste it carefully?

The proprietress dragged her slippers and brought up two servings of meat buns. The plate on which the buns were placed was fairly clean. The proprietress also used disposable plastic gloves to hold the buns, but the gloves looked like they had been used for an unknown number of days.

Yuan Che was used to such an environment. He had just picked up the meat buns and Ke Ran was already eating them, admiring while eating:

"Well, the taste is really good. Ma'am, do you have any secret recipe for this steamed stuffed bun?"

The proprietress raised her chubby arms and was stretching her waist, but she was almost twisted by Ke Ran's words.

Apparently it was the first time she had heard someone talk like that, so talkative, and such a handsome person.Just now she couldn't help but look at Ke Ran twice more, and now she is staring at Ke Ran with a smile on her narrow eyes:

"Are you joking? My steamed stuffed bun is the most common and popular. If there was a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors, it would have opened a chain store long ago."

Having said that, the audible tone is obviously very useful.

The proprietress looked at Ke Ran's Ben'erxiang, and she seemed to really like it, and she was even happier. She pulled the chair she was sitting on and asked:

"Seeing that you are neatly dressed, how come you come to our small shop to eat steamed stuffed buns?"

Ke Ran had already swallowed a bun and pointed at Yuan Che with his chin:

"I followed him. You ask him why he came here to eat."

Yuan Che tasted the steamed stuffed bun carefully, and it was indeed not that delicious. He couldn't help feeling strange about Ke Ran's exaggerated performance.Seeing that Ke Ran threw the conversation to him, he could only pick up:

"I smell the steamed stuffed bun, and I'm just hungry. Ma'am, how long have you been here?"

"It's been more than three years. Fortunately, the people around are not particular about it, and there are not many breakfast shops around here, so the business is barely passable."

Yuan Che looked around:

"If your place is brighter, the business will be better."

"I'm too busy, it's just me and the dead ghost, and the dead ghost is always away." The proprietress complained.

Yuan Che started to talk about the key points, so that she wouldn't be embarrassed to blame the dead ghost:

"The people who come here to eat are all regulars, right?"

"Well, yes, people who come and go are familiar with each other, and when they are familiar with each other, they will get credit. I have small businesses here, and there are people who get credit. This business is really difficult to do."

"To be honest, we came here looking for someone, but we couldn't find the place after looking around for several times. I don't know if you know him."

The proprietress was sitting on the table next to her, her chin propped up with one hand, admiring the two handsome men, she seemed very happy:

"Tell me. Those who have come to buy steamed stuffed buns, I can name them every time they pass by."

"Is there someone named Li Xiuping living around here?"

The proprietress was staring at Ke Ran who was licking his lips exaggeratedly after eating three steamed buns. Looking at his handsome face, the corners of his mouth were already grinning behind his ears. When she heard Yuan Che's words, she was stunned for a moment, and put down her chin. hand, the smile on his face was slightly restrained, and he looked back at Yuan Che's nonchalant expression:

"What are you looking for her for?"

"Ah, we are a life insurance company, and we are finally doing a survey. The person in front of me has just been transferred, and the files have been messed up. Now we are asked to investigate. We don't even have an address, but we have a rough place. How to check? "

"Insurance? That's a good idea. If you can insure her, maybe she can live on."

"What? Is she having a hard time?"

"Can it be better? The man died early, the orphan and the widow, and the daughter committed suicide again. Oh no, she died of illness or an accident. Does your insurance not pay insurance money for suicide?"

"Eldest sister knows a lot. That's why we came to investigate."

"I said it was definitely not a suicide. We see that girl every day, and she smiles every day. She respects the old and loves the young. The neighbors around praise her for being sensible and filial. How can she commit suicide when she says she committed suicide?"

"Well, did you find anything wrong with that girl before she died?"

"I didn't. I didn't see her much during that time. Maybe it was because I was too busy studying. If you say that the children are under too much psychological pressure, it might be that the pressure caused them to get sick."

"Where's that Li Xiuping? How are you doing?"

"I seldom see her. Occasionally, I see her with a sad face. Who would be happy if this happened. If it were me, I would have cried to death long ago."

Yuan Che wanted to ask again, but there was a knock on the door. The door was open, but someone knocked on the glass door anyway:

"Miss Boss, here are two steamed stuffed buns."

The proprietress turned her head to look at the door. The western light at the door made the faces of the people standing at the door in shadows. She could only walk over to say hello:

"Hey, you, why do you remember to patronize our business?"

Although the proprietress spoke politely, her tone was not quite right.She actually used your name, it seems that the person here is a very respected person around here.

The person at the door walked into the store, and Yuan Che saw it clearly.

An old lady came in, with thin cheeks, almost white hair, gray short sleeves and linen black trousers, she looked clean and neat.

This old lady was the one he had met in the coffee shop. Coincidentally, he met her twice a day.

The old lady walked in and looked at Yuan Che and the others who were eating, and said with a smile:

"Recently, I have become very lazy and don't want to cook. I suddenly want to eat steamed buns today. I heard that your steamed stuffed buns are delicious, so I came here to try something new."

The old lady explained seriously, and sat next to Yuan Che where the proprietress was sitting just now. The proprietress curled her lips and wanted to ask her to change places, but there was no suitable reason, so she could only pout her mouth and go in to get the buns.

The old lady looked at Yuan Che eating steamed stuffed buns, smiled enviously and said:

"It's better for you young people, you can eat anything delicious, unlike me, I eat to keep from starving."

Yuan Che choked on a mouthful of steamed stuffed bun, and patted his swollen and painful chest:

"I'm ashamed to eat what you said. Seeing that you are seventy this year, right? Your body is still so strong. I wish I had your physique when I grow old."

The old lady's smiling face froze for a moment, and the proprietress with the buns behind her spoke first:

"Oh, you are not yet sixty this year, are you? I remember that you have only retired for two years. Your hair is graying fast enough. I saw you not so white a few days ago. Let me tell you to eat some black hair. Goji berries, black sesame seeds and other black foods can make your hair come back."

The old lady's smile became a little forced:

"I also eat those things. Why didn't they work? It's all a lie." She picked up a bun, pinched a small piece and chewed it slowly in her mouth.

Watching her eating, a picture suddenly flashed in Yuan Che's mind. An old lady was sitting in front of a table of delicacies, eating small bites.

I also saw this old lady at the farewell banquet for Guo Turong.He once kicked open the door of someone's private room, even though he didn't do it voluntarily.

Including seeing her in the coffee shop today, this is the third time I saw her.

A complete stranger, the first meeting is a coincidence, the second meeting is accidental, and the third meeting is intentional.

Yuan Che looked around, he and Ke Ran were the only people in the bun shop, and this old lady seemed to rarely come to eat buns today, no matter how I thought about it, she felt that she did it on purpose.

Just thinking about it, Ke Ran, who was on the opposite side, yelled as if his mouth was covered with honey:

"Auntie, you don't look very good. Is it because you don't sleep well? People who don't sleep well tend to have gray hair."

The old lady smiled slightly and said:

"I'm getting older, and I'm getting less sleep. There's nothing I can do about it. You two look unfamiliar, and you're here for business?"

Before Ke Ran could answer, the proprietress had already enthusiastically told the whole story of Yuan Che just now.

The old lady frowned and looked at them and said:

"You fool shopkeepers don't understand, don't you? What era is it now? All the information is input into the computer. No matter how the personnel changes, the things are still there, and they can be found after a search. Why do you still use this place to inquire? You two Not a liar, are you?"

The face of the proprietress also changed when she heard it. She didn't pay much attention to the old lady's belittling of her. On the contrary, the last word "liar" made her take a step back. Obviously, she believed the old lady's words more:

"Aren't you two from the insurance company?"

Yuan Che really wanted to see the seemingly ignorant proprietress, mainly to find out about the situation of the girl's family.It's somewhat embarrassing to be exposed by the old lady face to face, and I don't know how to justify it for a while.

The old lady continued with a sullen face: "Young man, I advise you to leave as soon as possible before we call the police. You will have to pay the price for earning money by crooked means."

Seeing the old lady's upright speech, Ke Ran couldn't help laughing out loud:

"Okay, since it's been exposed, we won't pretend anymore. It's true that we are here to investigate, but it's not from the insurance company. We are the police."

Yuan Che secretly sighed and watched as Ke Ran took out his work certificate from his pocket and handed it to the old lady. The movement was so fast that he had finished a series of movements before he could stop them. Yuan Che could only support his forehead with his fingers, unable to bear to watch Ke Ran's next fate.

Sure enough, the proprietress who was still smiling just now stretched out her hand and slapped the ID in Ke Ran's hand to the ground:

"Why, change your identity if your insurance claims are exposed? Who are you fooling? Don't think that a little boy can fool me, tell you, my mother, I am loyal to my husband, and you can't seduce me. Say, what the hell are you guys doing?" What do you want to do? Let me tell you, I am not a vegetarian either, see if I have a pile of them? Believe it or not, I can crush you to death if I jump over."

Ke Ran looked at the certificate that fell on a pool of oil stains, and listened to the proprietress' bold words, his mouth opened wide, and he still didn't understand what was going on in front of him.

Yuan Che almost snickered, put away his smiling face:

"Do you have any proof that we are liars?"

"You just lied about me, don't think I don't know, first use other people's affairs to get close, pretend that the target is not me, and then use my words when I relax my vigilance, do you really think I am a fool? Say what are your plans for me?"

Ke Ran picked up the certificate on the ground, wiped it carefully with toilet paper, and said with some distress:

"I don't think you are a fool, you are just stupid and wise."

"What do you mean? You mean to say I'm stupid?" The boss lady said more and more loudly and angrily.Several people passing by outside the door have already stopped at the door to watch the excitement.

Yuan Che's cell phone rang at this moment, and he was about to go out to answer the call, but before he reached the door, he was grabbed by the proprietress:

"Do you want to run? Hey at the door, whoever of you is convenient to call the police, there are two liars here."

None of the people discussing at the door moved, they waited for the development of the situation with a look of watching the excitement.

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Yuan Che directly connected the phone and put on the speakerphone. Guo Turong's voice came from the phone:

"Che, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just being treated as a liar. Are you free in your new job? Call me if you have time?"

Guo Turong laughed wildly, he was out of breath when he heard the voice, and he was about to die of laughter. After a while, when Yuan Che was about to go crazy, Guo Turong finally spoke:

"Of course I'm not that free. It's just that we had a car accident here, and the culprit left all the cars here. Can you guess what kind of car it is?"

Ke Ran and Yuan Che looked at each other, and asked in unison without answering:

"Is the deceased male or female?"
