Himemoto's interpretation

Chapter 49: All-in-One Throw

Macheng, located in the tropics, has entered the summer ahead of schedule. It is almost dusk, and the power of the setting sun cannot be underestimated.

Xingqi held two boxes of egg tarts in one hand, carefully guarded the two Turkish ice creams in the other hand, and squeezed out of the crowd half sideways.

The detective didn't know who he ran into just now, but in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.

She jumped onto a high platform, looked back and forth, and found the detective who was chatting with a bearded foreigner with yellow hair and deep eye sockets without any effort.

The crowd was bustling, but the detective was still the one who stood out from the crowd.

"Let me go, sorry."

Xingqi was sweating profusely and went upstream, and soon reached the distance where the detective's voice could be heard.

She spoke a foreign language of unknown country, and said something to the bearded man.

The bearded man laughed loudly, his eyes narrowed into slits, but he could still see that the detective was completely covered by his deep gaze.

The detective also looked quite happy, his words were scattered by the laughter.

A couple with shoulders and waists walked past Xingqi, blocking her view.

Xingqi was stuck in place, looking at the ice cream that showed signs of melting in her hand, and then at the bearded detective chatting happily, feeling inexplicably bored.

Of the three questions pardoned for the three candidates, detectives have only raised two so far.

Xingqi couldn't answer any of the two questions.

Especially the second one.

——"How to compensate me?"

——"You won't bite back."

Thinking of this, Xing Qixin said it outright.

So, the movies are gone, and the free time is gone.

"You can watch movies anywhere and any day. You should visit Macheng more, maybe you will come here once in your life."

It is naive to say that detectives are sometimes naive, and it is not an illusion to judge the detective's belly with the heart of an assistant.

Anger is born inexplicably, and happiness is also inexplicably happy.

Xingqi shook the bag containing the egg tarts, drove all the messy thoughts deep into her mind, and reminded herself not to leak anything.

"Xingqi."

Probably due to the special psychic force field between the detective and the assistant. Even though there was a couple blocking in front of him, the detective called out the assistant's name as if no one was there, and looked straight at him with obvious displeasure.

The bearded foreigner also looked over. Seeing Xingqi, he opened his eyes wide, raised his hands and swung his arms vigorously, with a "wow" expression on his face.

Xingqi smirked back.

When the siege and the detective met, she asked in Chinese beside her ear, "Have you eaten the ice cream yet?"

Xingqi continued to smile politely at the bearded foreigner who was excited for some reason, "No."

"Okay." The detective took the ice cream and egg tart, turned around and handed it to the bearded man, speaking in a language that Xingqi couldn't identify.

The bearded foreigner held his face in both hands exaggeratedly, his eyes reflected the ice cream, and then he took it solemnly, and said to Xingqi with his big tongue: "crab crab."

Xingqi's smile froze: "...I have been waiting in line for at least half an hour!"

The bearded foreigner: "Crab crab crab crab."

The detective hooked her neck and bit her ear: "It's also junk food to stand in line for an hour."

Xingqi gritted her teeth.

The bearded foreigner swallowed a ball of ice cream with his mouth open and gave a thumbs up.

As night fell suddenly, the number of pedestrians on the pedestrian street increased instead of decreasing. The detective said goodbye to the bearded man as if he had finished his shopping, and stopped a taxi on the main road.

"Why did you tell them about Grandma Liu?" In the car, Xingqi asked, "You have a good relationship with the person in charge of the hotel, but Grandma Liu is so old, so if something happens to them, what should I do?"

The detective took the assistant's arm and placed it behind his head as a pillow. After fine-tuning his posture a few times, he closed his eyes and casually asked, "Who are they?"

"Black and white double evil."

"Black and white double evil?"

"It's the two people who asked us questions, one in a white suit and the other in a black suit."

"Oh, you mean the black and white duo." The detective suddenly said, "Shuangsha, is it that scary?"

"It's terrifying." Xingqi felt lingering fear.

"That's it." The detective remained motionless, "But having said that, you have to reflect on whether your mental quality is not good enough to cry because of these two bullshit things."

Xingqi: "...Didn't you also say that they went too far?"

"The methods of these two people are very low, so I lost my temper, and President Ma will definitely deal with it." The detective turned his face to look at Xingqi, and when the lights outside the window were just turned on, her eyes flickered, "Why are you so scared?"

"Because..." Xingqi avoided the detective's eyes, "I didn't see the goofy footage at first, I thought you really thought I was a thief, and that you wanted me to be interrogated on purpose."

She paused, and said almost angrily, "I thought this was your punishment."

"Punish you for what?"

Xingqi pointed to her neckline. The tooth marks had subsided, but they were obviously darker than the surrounding skin. The imprint on the collarbone really had an indescribable...meaning.

Throat moved involuntarily.

The detective straightened up abruptly, looking at the assistant vigilantly, "Are you still here?"

"No, no, no." Xingqi hurriedly waved her hands, "I'm not coming."

"Oh—" the detective stretched out his hand, palm up, "here."

One failed to answer, and one answer did not satisfy the detective, so two candies had to be chosen and said goodbye to them.

Xingqi clutched her pocket tightly, "Is there no chance of resurrection?"

"What chance of resurrection?"

"Just...for example, if you assign me a task, there is still some direction." Xingqi rubbed the back of her head and said with a bitter face, "You let me answer it myself, but I can't figure it out even if I try my best."

The detective put down his hands, "Is everything okay?"

Xingqi fell silent.

The detective waited for a while, then spread his hands again, "Have you chosen?"

Xingqi reluctantly took out marshmallows and gummy candies.

"One more chance," said the detective when the taxi pulled up. "Save your last verbena and nougat, rabbit."

Xingqi quickly filled her mouth with the only piece of verbena candy, and followed the detective into a Japanese restaurant.

Entering the foyer, the waiter at the welcome desk in kimono motioned for the two to put on shoe covers first, and then pointed to the wooden door behind.

Behind the two open wooden doors are gurgling water and small bridges, and there are realistic cherry trees on the opposite bank, and the pink cherry blossoms covered with branches are lifelike and move in the wind.

Following the waiter wearing Japanese-style wide-sleeved trousers and clogs into the business area, Xingqi felt that this was a place to eat.

But the human voices came from the boxes on both sides of the corridor, and the doors were covered with cloth curtains, so the voices seemed to come from another world.

I don't know who is talking, and I don't know who is listening.

Xingqi doesn't like this kind of place that seems to be very secretive but is actually full of loopholes.

Until the waiter brought the two of them to the box in the middle with the wooden sign of "Fenghua", Xingqi still looked out worriedly.

At this time, it was the peak time of dining, and people came in and out from time to time.

The detective rolled up a menu and knocked on the assistant: "What are you looking at?"

Xingqi retracted her head: "I think you may have something to say or a task to arrange, first observe the environment."

The detective raised one eyebrow, "A child can be taught."

Xingqi smiled, "What is the mission?"

The detective lowered his raised eyebrows, and said expressionlessly: "I found your very gentle and beautiful young lady from yesterday in the restaurant."

"What?" What made Xingqi puzzled and frightened was the detective's breath when he spoke, followed by the content, "What young lady?"

The detective gave her a deep look, "Don't you remember all night?"

Monk Xingqi Zhang Er was puzzled, "What do you remember?"

"The flight attendant who deserves the full price of the ticket." The detective reminded angrily.

"Oh—" Xingqi remembered, "How do you know she's here?"

"The bearded man just now was the captain of the flight. I asked about the situation. He said that this time around the Spring Festival, the flight crew took a vacation on the spot and decided to build a team here."

It turned out that the bearded ice cream was given to collect information.

Very good!

Xingqi applauded and cheered in her heart, and a cheerful smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

The detective gave her a sideways glance, "Do you know that young lady is so happy here?"

"No." Xingqi took off her coat and hung it on the hook on the wooden wall, and put her hands on her forehead to salute, "Please wait a moment, and I promise to complete the task."

Xingqi was ready to find an excuse for the bathroom, walked quickly through the corridor, looked in the direction of the waiter, and came to the entrance leading to the back kitchen.

The restaurant's fire floor plan was hung next to the "customers are not allowed" warning sign on the wall. Xingqi wrote down the number and location of each box, and found the staff rest area and the back door.

Generally, restaurants of this size have staff entrances in addition to emergency escape routes.

After remembering the direction, Xingqi left the restaurant and came to the alley behind.

The back door of the Japanese restaurant is also hung with a signboard written in Japanese kana and Chinese characters, which is very conspicuous.

She followed the delivery man through the back door, but she didn't wear a delivery uniform, and she didn't look like a tourist who had gone the wrong way. The older waiter who was packing the food box behind her was probably too busy and thought she was a part-time helper, "Hurry up." Changing clothes, I'm too busy ahead."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to realize something suddenly, and turned to look at Xingqi.

Xingqi nodded calmly, looked quickly around the messy back kitchen, trotted towards the approximate direction, checked the floor plan in her mind on the way, and ran into the rest area with lockers accurately.

Seeing that she walked into the dressing room with ease, the older waiter was relieved and continued to pack the lunch box.

Xingqi found a large-size uniform in the open closet, saw a few pairs of black shoe covers in the trash can in the corner, changed her mind about changing clogs, and put on the shoe covers she had put in her pocket when she left the restaurant.

As soon as she left the rest area, the older waiter immediately urged her: "Hurry up, Chunyue has urged her several times, go and help them order food, and remember to bring drinks."

It is not uncommon for waiters to shuttle between various boxes to deliver food and tea, but few people pay attention to them.

Xingqi didn't have time to think about where her familiar role-playing routines came from. She went back and forth to the business area and the back kitchen a few times, and asked the waiters sideways. She basically locked the box built by the crew.

She planned to resume her assistant status after confirming, but when she saw that the "Fenghua" room where the detective was in front of her, Xingqi entered the box without hesitation carrying a plate, "Guest, do you want some water?"

Catching the flash of surprise in the detective's eyes, Xingqi smiled, poured a cup of barley tea, and gave it to the detective with both hands: "Wait another 10 minutes, no, just 5 minutes."

She sent the freshly squeezed juices to the target box and filled them up one by one.

Although the guests inside were dressed in casual clothes, the information brought out in the conversation all showed that these beautiful and lively young women were the crew members.

The mission has gone smoothly so far, but Xingqi encountered an unexpected problem——

"Can't you recognize who is the young lady who took you to the bathroom and handed you the towel?" The detective's face was indescribable.

"Hmm..." Xingqi knelt down on the futon in frustration, looking up at the other side in embarrassment, "I don't know why, I thought I found it at the time, but after thinking about it, I'm not so sure. It feels like everyone, Nothing like it."

Maybe it's because of their occupation. Everyone's makeup, behavior and even idioms are very similar, bearing the imprint of living together for a long time.

If the contact time is longer, maybe I can find out the part that belongs to my personality, but whether it is the few times I met on the plane, or just when I was delivering drinks, there is not enough time.

Xingqi's head drooped, and she really wanted to go back to 5 minutes ago, so that the self who was talking nonsense could wake up a bit.

The detective took a leisurely sip of the cold tea, "It's all right."

"Ok?"

"Well done."

Xingqi couldn't believe her ears, she glanced quietly, and the detective was also looking at her with crooked eyebrows.

"Really?" Xingqi climbed to the side of the detective with hands and feet, "I can try again if necessary, and I will definitely find a way."

"You dare." The detective pinched the back of the assistant's neck and sat beside him, "Be honest."
