After a moment of silence, Texas spoke.
"Then this meal—"
"Of course not this time, it's a matter of principle. After you said last time, Bai Hua, that you 'want to repay the previous favor', you never took the initiative to contact me once during this period of time. This is a necessary punishment."
"Ow..."
Bai Hua, who thought she had caught a life-saving straw, immediately lowered her head again.
"In short, thank you Texas, but I don't need to go to that level for the time being, and what I need more now than scattered money is to have a way to make money."
Teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching people how to fish. If you want to solve Rhode Island's economic problems, you can't solve it by doing a few more odd jobs yourself, but you need to find more ways to make money.
Kelsey seemed to be aware of this, so she ordered Rhodes Island to vigorously develop the mercenary business in Longmen——
I always feel that there is something weird...?
"If you are short of money, Bai Hua, why not go to Rutland to try your luck! For example, Bai Hua, you can use your cooking skills to become a curious dessert chef or something? You must know that there are many people in Rutland The goal of people's daily life is to find ways to have fun, and if they see your cooking works, Bai Hua, they will be surprised and become obsessed with it!"
The energy angel is on the side and starts to come up with ghost ideas that sound outrageous.
"Did your brain be burnt by the light tube, can you be an angel?"
Texas directly complained mercilessly.
"Save the world, obviously what I make is not as bad as you say."
"..."
Bai Hua also retorted solemnly at the side, leaving Texas completely speechless.
All in all, while chatting, everyone decided on the dishes to order. According to Bai Hua's rough estimate, these dishes have reached about 8000 Longmen coins, plus service fees, seat fees and other messy prices. Bajiu is already running towards five figures.
While waiting for the death penalty, the three of them chatted about the recent situation while waiting for the food to be served. The Texas Neng Angel asked a little annoyed what Bai Hua was doing recently, and why he hadn't contacted Penguin Logistics at all.
"Recently, I've been wrapping up the matter of the Guards Bureau after repelling the integration movement, as well as some situations related to Rhode Island's previous involvement."
Bai Hua used a simple and easy-to-understand way to describe that she was really doing serious things, instead of being abducted by several girls in turn.
"What have Texas and Angels been up to lately?"
After briefly ignoring her "romantic history" during this period, Bai Hua asked Gray Wolf and Sakota in front of her again.
"Well, it's still the same lately. Delivering goods, being chased occasionally, and most of the time it's quite boring. But recently, Texas and I often go to the slums—ah, it should be called the downtown area now. I often go to the lower city to perform some tasks. After all, because it is being reorganized there, there are many places that need to be dealt with. At this time, our Penguin Logistics, as a professional team that is very familiar with the slums, is naturally very popular~!"
Neng Angel said with a proud face, it can be seen that Penguin Logistics has been shining brightly in the process of rebuilding the lower city recently.
"The gangsters who used to hide in the slums have fewer places to hide because of the reconstruction, and recently there have been more small-scale gang frictions. If you are going to the downtown area, remember to protect yourself, Bai Hua. Most of the fighting there Not very glamorous."
Texas solemnly reminds Bai Hua to pay attention to safety, and don't accidentally capsize in the gutter in the lower city.
"Thank you for your concern, Texas—speaking of gangsters, the white-haired killer before—Laplande, is there any news about her recently?"
Bai Hua remembered the killer who instigated the gangster boy to kidnap Texas and threatened Texas in the abandoned factory.
"...There is no follow-up for the time being, and the other party suddenly fell silent. Maybe she has other things to deal with, or, like other gangsters, she was impacted by the transformation of the lower city. But she will never leave this city easily. Between me and her There's still a bill to settle."
Texas took out a pocky instead of a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Although Bai Hua didn't know exactly what happened between Texas and the killer called 'Lappland', it sounded like he would still have a chance to meet again in the future. Met the killer once.
"Speaking of Bai Hua, can you do me a favor? I've actually heard some news recently, but I'm not sure about it, but I suspect that even if I'm sure, I won't be able to find it... Anyway, anyway, can you help me find someone What, Bai Hua?"
The energy angel on the side thought of something, and she stretched out a finger to make her request.
"Looking for someone? Normally, there should be no problem, but—uh, I can't go back to the detective agency right now."
Bai Hua rubbed his hair, he almost instinctively accepted Neng Angel's commission, and then realized that he was no longer working at Li's Detective Agency.
"Didn't you say before that you only stayed in the Guard Bureau for a short period of time? Why does it look like you have to stay in the Guard Bureau for a long time now?"
Texas frowned and asked a little unhappy. When Bai Hua said that he was going to the Guard Bureau, Texas and Neng Angel naturally complained for various reasons, and Bai Hua's way of comforting the two was "I just went to rescue I'm so angry, I will return to the detective agency soon and continue to eat and die."
However, it will be three months in a blink of an eye. Not only does Bai Hua have no signs of being kicked out, but she has become more and more famous in the Guard Bureau. Now that Bai Hua is walking on the street, it is estimated that dozens of passers-by There will be one person who knows this blue-gold-coloured wolf with different pupils.
"The situation has changed... I really planned to go back in two months."
Bai Hua responded in a low voice with some embarrassment, now it is really getting harder and harder to escape from the Guards Bureau, and Bai Hua was a little bit on the back foot for a while, so in the end she could only choose to be "bad" - just like that in the Guards Bureau Go ahead, it feels good anyway.
"Guys who can't keep their promises generally need to cut off three fingers to warn others—"
"It can't be like this, Miss Texas!?"
Bai Hua was so frightened that she hurriedly backed away and tried to stay away from the former gangster sister. Maybe the other party would sink herself into the artificial river when she was in a bad mood one day...
"By the way, Bai Hua, come to Rutland with me when you have time later, okay?"
At the same time that the extremely threatening aura on Texas scared Bai Hua away, the energy angel at the side suddenly raised his hand and started attacking Bai Hua without warning.
"Hey—can be an angel!"
Dexa's expression was a little panicked for a moment. She never expected that Sakota, who had no strings in his brain, would propose an invitation with such a straight ball without any foreshadowing.
"Rutland? Of course if there is a chance, I heard there are dessert shops everywhere."
Facing the surprise attack of the energy angel, Bai Hua didn't react vigilantly and avoid talking about it or fooled it with ambiguous words, but nodded directly to indicate that it was okay.
"Okay! Then I will come to you when you are free, Bai Hua!"
Gray Wolf easily accepted his request, which made Neng Angel wave his palm happily, with a victorious expression on his face.
"An angel—!"
Of course, Texas on the side opened his eyes wide, looking at Sakota incomprehensibly.
"Hey, Texas, you always beat around the bush, it must be very troublesome, right? Anyway, first come, first served, Bai Hua's first vacation is mine!"
"You bastard...!"
It is difficult to defend against house thieves by day and night. Although the angel of energy mentioned to himself after meeting last time, saying that he would invite Baihua to Rutland, Texas never thought that the angel of energy would strike so easily. birch.
Texas sighed, and she wondered if she was really "beating around the bush" a little too much as the angel said.
But it is difficult for this gray wolf to act too bluntly, such as just saying his invitation directly like an angel.
The way of life in Texas has always been somewhat unique, and this way of life in Syracuse has also allowed Texas to develop the flat character of "being calm when things change", she is not used to doing things on her own initiative , I don't like 'impulsivity'.
Dexas hates talking too much, and doesn't like to maintain a one-sided 'offensive' all the time. In a sense, unlike her crazy raid swordsmanship, Dexas is actually a 'wanted to be reserved' exist.
As long as the preliminary preparations are made for anything, everything can go smoothly—although Texas thinks so, she has also vaguely noticed that some things may not be done naturally by "step by step".
Should I make some changes myself?For example, stop being so 'reserved', let go of the inexplicable 'dignity and habits', take the initiative to take action, and stop thinking about the consequences all the time?
"Ahhhh-!!"
Just when Texas was tangled, a woman's piercing scream suddenly came from the side of the lobby where the three were.
"Help...help! My husband, my husband passed out!"
Looking in the direction of the voice, the three of them saw a woman standing at a table not far from the three of them, while the man was lying motionless on the table, as if he had fallen into a faint.
——Is it a case, do you need to avoid it?
Just when Texas instinctively thought about whether to leave the restaurant to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Hua beside him had already leaned over.
"Don't get excited, ma'am, I'm Bai Hua, an operator of the Guard Bureau, everyone, calm down first and don't panic! Tell me what's going on - waiter, you should contact the Guard Bureau and the hospital immediately! Texas can be an angel, help I'll manage the scene, please."
Bai Hua deftly commanded and assigned tasks on the spot. Just now, he was an embarrassing gray wolf who had poor cash flow and was brutally slaughtered. At this moment, he instantly revealed his professional ability as an "operator of the Guard Bureau".
"I have lost consciousness, I don't know if I can hold on until the ambulance arrives."
Bai Hua briefly checked the man lying on the table.
"It's all because of this store...! This store said that there is some kind of deep-sea nympho puffer fish chowder, because only this store has this dish, so we came here specially... It must be that the toxins were not cleaned up — my husband!"
The woman on the side yelled loudly, and at the same time kept shaking Bai Hua.
"Uh uh uh... Anyway, don't interfere with my temporary inspection, I can feel your grief—"
Bai Hua, who was dangling around, originally wanted to comfort the other party casually, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that the female emotion in front of him seemed a little 'excessive'.
The other party doesn't seem to be mentally tense because of 'the partner is in crisis', should it be the opposite?This hysterical situation gave people a strange feeling. Although she was very anxious, the object of her anxiety did not look like her partner who was in a coma.
"Calm down, lady—"
——It's been a long time since I took on such a commission that a detective agency occasionally encounters, but it seems that at least my basic skills have not shrunk.
Bai Hua pretended to stop the woman, but actually observed her situation at close range.
Abnormal nervousness, rapid heartbeat, looks very crazy, but the eyes have been wandering strangely, as if intentionally pulling himself away from the chair with the handbag.
After a brief observation, Bai Hua was basically sure that this woman was not the so-called 'victim', and her various reactions proved that this guy was calling for a thief.
This is Bai Hua's "Cheating Detective Rules" when he was in the detective agency - use his observation ability to identify the suspect in the reverse direction, then deduce the clues, and finally use the clues he got to complete the investigation. No, complete the prisoner's correction. .
"Your restaurant is really unlucky... In short, let me confirm the identity of the victim first, can you miss?"
"His name is Will, and he's my husband—"
Bai Hua listened to the woman's words with one ear, and skillfully took out the wallet from the man's pocket on the other side, and took out the driver's license for confirmation.
The wallet itself looks quite textured, but the coins in it... to be honest, the amount is subtle.
The amount of cash is not like being used purely as a temporary substitute for a credit card, because it is too much change.The purse that Snow Pheasant sewed for herself in Bai Birch's pocket contains much more shabby money than these.
But this is not like "taking a wad of banknotes from the vault". Jessica almost blinded Bai Hua when she took out her wallet before. Difficult to look away.
Bai Hua turned his attention to the man's clothes again. Although the suit he was wearing looked like a very expensive brand at first glance, with impeccable workmanship and materials, the problem was that the style of the suit itself was old and looked a little Somewhat out of season, and the suit itself has been slightly repaired.
Looking at the woman again, the clothing and accessories on the other side are all brand new styles, but the high heels are a bit worn out.
Who would bring barely enough cash for a meal, expensive antique suits, and a gorgeous woman with old shoes to a restaurant where the per capita consumption is nearly five figures?
"Madam, have you purchased insurance for your husband before?"
Bai Hua asked the woman on the side.
"You... the nobles naturally buy all the insurance. Instead of asking me, this poor woman, you should arrest the person in charge of the restaurant, right?"
"No...well, we can't arrest people casually."
Bai Hua explained with a black face, but following the question just now, he probably guessed the reason for the food poisoning incident.
Just as Bai Hua had already had the will to sell herself to repay the debt when she came to the restaurant this time, I am afraid that this woman was already ready to sacrifice a man to cheat her insurance when she came here.
It can be seen from the clothes of these two people, it is obvious that the two are wealthy nobles who have failed in investment or their families have declined. It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Obviously, it is a good choice to provide the "possibly lethal" Venus Hotel.
As long as the topic was directed to the hotel itself, not only would he be able to cheat the insurance, but he might even be able to blackmail the manager.
"Ma'am, I have already understood the situation - you are the suspect in this case, you took the initiative to poison, and the purpose is probably to defraud the insurance money, at least it doesn't look like a love murder."
"What are you talking about!? I wouldn't do that kind of thing! To get insurance money to buy a pair of shoes and kill my husband?! This is ridiculous! I will sue you for defamation!!"
"No...so I didn't mention such a specific criminal motive at all...and it was just to buy a pair of shoes?"
Bai Hua wiped off her sweat, and sure enough, she couldn't understand the brain circuit of a creature like a 'rich man', let alone a superlative 'former rich man'.
"Anyway, I also have the evidence—the potion bottle you used to inject the neurotoxin must not have had time to dispose of it, right? If I'm not wrong, it's in the handbag on that chair."
When talking to Bai Hua before, the woman looked at the handbag from time to time, and instinctively wanted to distance Bai Hua from the handbag. The reason was basically obvious.
"—!?"
The woman immediately hugged the handbag tightly to her chest.
"Stop, spitting blood, you poor gray wolf!!"
"It's okay to be poor, and the crime of obstructing the police's official duties will be added to the first class? I suggest that you immediately surrender yourself and tell me the specific name of the toxin that surrendered to the enemy, so that I can notify the hospital in advance to prepare for the corresponding rescue. Don't underestimate me. Nose, I already smell it clearly."
Bai Hua continued to exert pressure, intending to force the woman to confess her guilt and provide a direction for the rescue.
"Your nose...? I, I don't believe it!"
"Don't believe me—sweet and sour pork slices."
"what!?"
Bai Hua directly said the name of the dish in the hands of a waiter behind him who was at a loss.
“Black Truffle Mushroom Soup”
"Wow!"
Another attendant was startled.
"I don't think I've eaten this before... In short, it has the smell of charcoal grilling with peppers and onions and some kind of feather meat."
"It's seasonal roasted feather chowder...it's amazing!"
The dishes in the hands of three attendants in a row were all taken by Bai Hua, and everyone no longer questioned the gray wolf's nose ability in an instant.
