Himemoto's interpretation

Zhai Liangzhi came the next afternoon, alone.

This afternoon, Xingqi rolled out equal-sized dough into long pieces according to the online tutorial, and prepared to make rose steamed buns later.

"We requisitioned the kitchen, does Chef Lin have any objections?" Xingqi asked.

"It's okay, she will go back tonight."

"Night? Is anyone coming to pick her up?"

"That's needless to say." The detective looked out the window. From the kitchen, he could see the central garden diagonally opposite and the high-rise apartment facing the garden. She changed the subject, "Where do you want to go on vacation?"

Xingqi compared the width and thickness of the bottom piece, corrected the part that she thought was too wide, and began to roll the dough piece, "I haven't figured it out yet."

"Want to go abroad?"

"I don't know. I feel like I want to go anywhere, but it's so troublesome to choose, so I don't want to go anywhere."

"Is there anyone interested around here?"

Xingqi wrinkled her face in distress, and she didn't relax her hands at all. She said uncertainly, "Maybe I will go somewhere for a day...probably."

"Ocean Park?"

Xingqi uttered a negative single tone.

"Safari?"

"Not really."

"Ice World?"

"You can go in summer, but in winter..."

forget it.

"Hmm. Where's the museum?"

Xingqi thought for a while and asked the detective, "How many more copper coins do you need?"

"That, no need." The detective waved his hand and made another suggestion, "Disney?"

"……too many people."

"Don't you... young people like these places?"

Xingqi assembled six roses made of noodles, put them in the steamer, and looked at the detectives who had been idling around the kitchen all afternoon, "It's stuck."

"what?"

"It's stuck between you and the young people." Xingqi said, "You wanted to say you ordinary people or you ordinary people, right?"

The detective tilted his head and touched his ear, "Is there any?"

"Yes." Xingqi raised her hand, "You look different from ordinary people, not at the same level as ordinary people like us."

"Little girl." The detective smiled, and tucked a strand of hair back behind his ear, "I wanted to say 'little girl'."

Xingqi said "Hey", "You haven't reached the age of big sister yet."

Not to mention the extremely erratic mental age.

The detective raised his eyebrows, "Okay, tell me where you want to go."

"You want reimbursement?"

The detective paused, "I think..."

The doorbell rang at this moment.

Xingqi washed the flour off her hands, "I'll go and open the door."

The detective clicked on the LCD panel on the wall and at the door to monitor the network, "Wait, I'll go too."

It was Zhai Liangzhi who came.

Seeing someone coming out, Zhai Liangzhi pushed the gate roughly, but the two black metal gates guarded by the gargoyle remained motionless.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

There were still two or three meters away from the door, the detective stopped first, and seeing this, Xingqi also stopped.

Because Zhai Liangzhi's face was not very good-looking, or in other words, it was terrible.

Mr. Zhai who came two days ago was somewhat human.This time, he looked like a rogue gambler who was beaten up for grabbing territory with an old beggar under the bridge hole. His hair was in greasy strips, his eye sockets were black and blue, and his eyelids were swollen. He was wearing the same suit from that day, but darkened. The collar and cuffs were torn, and there were two heavy stains on the knees of the trousers.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Zhai, are you here to settle the commission?" The detective took out his mobile phone and tapped it a few times, "Let me do the math."

"You fucking have the face to ask me for a commission? Are you fucking still laughing?" Zhai Liangzhi grabbed the railing with both hands, "What did you tell Lu Sheng?!"

"It's impolite to swear, Mr. Zhai." Xingqi stepped forward and stood in front of the detective.

The detective poked at the phone and said calmly, "The remaining fees and payment methods have been sent to your mailbox."

Zhai Liangzhi laughed back angrily, "You still want a commission, I tell you it's impossible! You caused me millions of losses! I want to sue you!"

The detective asked in surprise, "Why are you suing me?"

"Sharing agreement!"

Xingqi looked back anxiously, the detective said "I didn't understand, please say it again".

"Lu Sheng called in the morning to say that the agreement has no legal significance. It was your idea, right? Damn...you..." Zhai Liangzhi kept opening and closing his chapped lips, spit out a bunch of swear words incoherently Foul language, "Damn you..."

The detective slightly lowered his jaw, "Mr. Zhai, I suggest you wash your face well and clean the dirt before you come back."

"Open the door! Open the door!" Zhai Liangzhi shook the gate vigorously, shaking with the sudden cold wind, "Open the door, fuck me..."

He stopped suddenly, retracted his left hand like an electric shock, staring at the bloody wound on the back of his hand, "You..."

"It's best to think about it before you speak." The detective took out a wet towel from his pocket, wiped the tip of the single stick he just took back, and said unhurriedly, "You come to greet other people's parents uninvited like this. Locked in a detention center." She raised the corners of her lips, "Or, you just want to find a place that can protect you with food and housing?"

Zhai Liangzhi was stunned for a moment, but then he continued to push the door, and the gate slammed loudly, "You...you can't just let this matter go! You promised to help me find Lu Sheng in a week! You...you pay me the deposit! "

"Mr. Zhai." Xingqi called out.

"The sharing agreement is clearly written. Lu Sheng must give me my share! I just trust you to give you the original agreement. The next day she refused to admit it and she said that the agreement is invalid. You put the agreement Give it back to me, I, I..."

Xingqi's ears were ringing from his noise, and she raised her voice and shouted, "Mr. Di!"

"Xiao Shang." Zhai Liangzhi stared at his red eyes, "You, tell me, did you not do a good job?"

"Mr. Zhai, I have a question for you." Xingqi slowed down her speech and tried to remain calm, "You just said that Lu Sheng called you this morning?"

"Didn't you hear that?"

Xingqi then asked, "Did you ask where she is?"

"She said she was at home, and I went to find her, but she didn't even open the door for me!"

"That's good." Xingqi looked at the detective, "We have completed your commission. You wrote it yourself in the column of commission content, 'Find Lu Sheng and contact her'. You wrote this content It was 23am on Monday and we have video."

"My assistant made it very clear. We found Lu Sheng, and she also took the initiative to contact you. The commission has been successfully completed." The detective put his elbow on the assistant's shoulder, and then shifted his focus as if he was drunk , "So Mr. Zhai, please settle the remaining payment within one month, otherwise..."

"Did you make a fucking mistake?!" Zhai Liangzhi was stunned, and when he realized it, he punched the gate hard, "She called to tell me not to look for her after the agreement doesn't count! I didn't... I didn't see her !"

"Mr. Zhai, don't do this," Xingqi supported the detective while struggling to find words, "We detectives have done our best, and there is nothing else we can do."

"Fuck!" Zhai Liangzhi obviously lost his mind, and reached out from between the fences to try to reach the two people in the door, "You, what the hell are you doing! You took money from Lu Sheng! You..."

"That's right." A police car with flashing lights came into view, the detective straightened up, and pressed the door-opening button with a single stick, "I got someone to check that agreement, and it turned out that your fingerprints all contained high concentrations of alcohol, oh, The reason why the high concentration can be detected is thanks to you, Mr. Zhai, you preserved it very well."

Zhai Liangzhi rushed up, and at this moment, two policemen rushed down from the car, "What are you doing!"

……

After the detective changed his clothes and went downstairs, Xingqi immediately went up to meet her, "When did you call the police?"

"When sending the bill to our former client, I sent a message to Director Liu, asking him to come."

"You did it on purpose?"

"What on purpose?"

"Deliberately call the police to arrest Mr. Zhai."

"You think it's all you, pointing east won't go west. It's just a coincidence."

Xingqi: "..."

Ghosts will believe your coincidence!

"Why, that look." The detective rubbed the assistant's ear, "Then I said that I actually called the police to protect him, do you believe me?"

"Trust." Xingqi nodded hesitantly, then pointed to her head, "But, are you willing to take care of my IQ?"

"Don't worry." The detective handed her sugar, "Zhai Liangzhi is a gambler, and he lost all his savings last time. This time, he was forced by debts."

"You know that some underground casinos are like this, staring at the big heads who are about to be demolished or who are about to make a lot of money, deliberately tricking them into the poker table, let them win first, wait for them to indulge in it, slowly win less and lose more, and wait for them to lose I can’t get out and lend money to them after I’ve finished my capital. Zhai Liangzhi has already been locked up. Unless he goes to the detention center, no one can save him. The creditors of the casino are no good.”

"How do you know he's a gambler?"

"Would a normal person take seriously the sharing agreement written on a break-up meal? It's obvious that the partnership has already broken up. Besides Zhai Liangzhi, who only wants money, who has come to us during this period of time?"

"But..." Xingqi still felt that something was wrong, "Mr. Zhai came last time, why didn't you persuade him and give him a suggestion to stop gambling."

"Aren't you stupid?" the detective poked at her, "Why should I give him advice on something that smells rotten and dirty before it rolls into the sewer? I'd better make him think that the pennies are a game, and he loses his underwear." Not left."

"But Mr. Zhai is locked up," Xingqi stammered, "you won't be able to receive commission."

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, the first basket of rose steamed buns had just been put into the pot, and there was a faint movement from the stairwell, coming in and out for a while.

When the second pot of cross-flowered steamed buns came out, the sound gradually became clear, but it sounded heavy and dragging.

"Oh, that guy is finally going back." The detective pushed Xingqi down, "Go help her with her luggage."

Xingqi ran into Lin who was helpless with the suitcase on the second floor, "Is someone here to pick you up?"

"Yeah!" Lin Mei was beaming, "My wife will be here soon."

The doorbell rang at the right time downstairs, Xingqi picked up the suitcase, "Is it..."

your wife?

Before the question was finished, Lin had disappeared.

Xingqi moved the heavy-looking suitcase to the hall, and saw the family members who came to pick Lin up.

Lin was dancing and talking with his family members at the door. The man was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pressed down very low, and the lower half of his face looked familiar.

Xingqi sent the luggage over, and the man took off his hat, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work."

"No, it's not hard, it's okay!"

Recognizing who Lin's family members are, Xingqi didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

"Rabbit Rabbit, this is my wife." Lin couldn't hide his excitement, "Do you want to know her name?"

Before Xingqi could politely say no, Lin leaned over and said mysteriously, "Lin Zexu."

Xingqi raised her hand in greeting: "...Mrs. Lin."

You underestimated your wife's popularity, Mr. Lin.

Although I seldom go to the cinema, the movie posters of the Spring Festival stalls have long filled the bus stops. Among them is this talented faction who is notoriously low-key but has a good eye for script selection.

The film she starred in, which was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, had an excellent reputation.

Mrs. Lin rubbed her curly hair, then smiled at Xingqi: "I have troubled you and the detective these days, thank you for taking care of her."

Xingqi was at a loss: "No...not troublesome, but also thank you Lin Ping for helping us cook lunch..."

"You're welcome." Lin waved his hand, "Rabbit, come to my house to play when you have time, and I'll burn carrots for you."

Xingqi: "..."

Thank you, or goodbye.

Mrs. Lin picked up the suitcase, "Okay, let's go home."

Xingqi watched them walk up the garden path, and then walked into...

Ok?

Building 9?

"Detective detective," Xingqi rushed back to the living room, still shaking uncontrollably, she couldn't tell whether it was the cold wind blowing outside or she was excited, "You know, Lin's wife is..."

The detective stared at his flat eyelids and didn't bother to lift them: "Lin Zexu."

"No, it's Xu who made the movie..."

The detective interrupted her: "Lin Zexu."

"Did you know they're in Building 9 behind?"

"The 9th floor of Building 35, the straight-line distance is 230 meters."

"So Lin ran away from home?"

"It's running away from home."

"Oh, okay, okay..."

Xingqi digested alone for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands, "I thought about what to do during the Chinese New Year!"

"What to do?" The detective flipped the tablet upside down and placed it on his stomach, covering the ticket booking interface.

"Watch a movie! Just watch the one played by Mrs. Lin."

"Oh..." The detective turned over the tablet to check the time, "Xingqi, would you mind going to Macheng?"

"Macheng?"

"Because I just accidentally booked two special tickets to Macheng tomorrow, and then I made a mistake and booked a hotel for tomorrow night. The special tickets cannot be refunded, so..."
