Chapter 26 Offline Activities 26

The hot pot restaurant is located on a sparsely populated street. When Tang Yuan turned into this street, he slowed down. Yuyu looked out through the window. There are few shops on both sides, and they are very old. They look quite old. It looks like it was still 20 years ago, and there are old people walking around. This street seems to be separated from the bustling and fast-paced North City, and has become a different dimension independently. It is leisurely and simple here. Every minute and every centimeter are traces of years of precipitation.

"This street is called Yonggu. It used to be the busiest place in Beicheng, but now it is sluggish, and there are few customers in the shops. Those who know this place and cannot leave it are people who can't get out of it." Tang Yuan Slowly park the car at a corner of the street, there is no parking lot here, only a few small empty corners for occasional parking.

"I played wild here every day when I was young. I haven't been here for a long time. I really miss it." Zhang Zhibai got out of the car and took a deep breath, sighing.

Yu Yu pulled Duan Ge down, bent down and wanted to carry him on his back, but Duan Ge refused, and when he heard Zhang Zhibai say this, he was surprised: "Aren't you from a stranger?"

Zhang Zhibai was taken aback, and turned to look at Yuyu: "When did I say I was from Mocheng? I lived here when I was a child, and my family didn't move to Mocheng until high school."

"Okay." Yu Yu nodded indifferently, and walked slowly beside Duan Ge cautiously. The situation of the two of them reversed within a day. In the morning, it was still Duan Ge who was protecting Yu Yu, and in the afternoon, it was Yu Yu who was protecting Duan Ge.

"Let's go, it's in front, it's already booked." Tang Yuan parked the car and came to lead the way.

"Lao Meng's hot pot not only has the soup base freshly boiled at home every day, but also cuts the mutton by hand. There is only so much a day, and it will be gone when it is sold out. It is not easy to eat it. If you are not familiar with Granny Meng, you can't eat it. .”

As he said that, Zhang Zhibai first pushed open the old glass door in front of him. There were still some cracks on the door, but it was pasted up neatly by transparent glue. There was a string of very festive red wind chimes hanging on the door. When the door opened, it would jingle. When' the rang.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the entire small shop at a glance. The whole hot pot restaurant has only six small tables, and all five tables are full. The innermost table is empty, presumably it is specially reserved for them.

The room was filled with a very strong aroma. An old woman with mixed black and white hair but neatly tidied up came out from the inner kitchen, wearing thick reading glasses. She was very happy to see Zhang Zhibai, and immediately greeted her: "Boy Zhang is here!" Are you here? Tangyuan is here too? Come and sit down."

"Well, Granny Meng has troubled you!"

Several people walked over and sat down. Zhang Zhibai went to get a list by himself and said, "Grandma Meng, go and do your work first. I can do it myself. I will send it to you when I order it!"

"Hey, okay, I'll go to the back to help first!"

While ordering, Yu Yu hurriedly asked, "Is there a small pot?"

Zhang Zhibai glared at Yu Yu: "Yes, yes, yes! Stinky problem!"

When Yu Yu couldn't hear it, he continued: "Then I need two small pots, one spicy, one original soup, and the original soup is for Duan Ge."

Zhang Zhibai looked up at Duan Ge who had been silent all this time, nodded in agreement, and Yu Yu relaxed back on the chair, not forgetting to touch Duan Ge's forehead again.

"how is it now?"

Duan Ge shook his head, and smiled intimately: "I'm fine, Brother Yuyu."

Because the mutton was cut by hand, it took a while. Before the food was served, Yu Yu asked about Zhao Na's case.

"The case is almost ready to be closed." Zhang Zhibai poured the store's homemade milk tea for a few people, with a relaxed tone.

Yu Yu held the hot milk tea and put it in front of Duan Ge, and told him to drink some warm Nuan Nuan first, and then asked Zhang Zhibai: "So fast? Didn't you have a clue before?"

"I'll listen to a recording for you." Zhang Zhibai took out his phone and put it on the table, and clicked on the recording to play.

After a period of noise, I entered the main topic:

Zhang Zhibai: "Do you live by yourself? Are you from Beicheng?"

Zhao Lu: "Yes, what's the problem?"

Zhang Zhibai: "Are you Zhao Na's sister?"

Zhao Lu: "Didn't you already know about it? Why are you looking for me? Didn't I say before that I don't know anything?"

Zhang Zhibai: "After Zhao Na died, were you not sad at all?"

Zhao Lu: "Hey, we are half-brothers, and we have been at odds since we were young. Don't you all know that? Now you are hypocritically asking me what I am doing? Do you suspect that I killed her? Let me tell you, even if you are the police , and you can’t convict people casually! Please get out now!”

The recording is over here, Yu Yu is confused, is this the end?There's nothing useful in this recording, either?

Zhang Zhibai put away his phone, and showed him some photos.

"I've saved the original. It was dug out from Zhao Na's room at her parents' house. It was hidden behind the bookcase. I took some interesting photos of Zhao Na's diary. Take a look."

Yu Yu took the phone and looked through it with Duan Ge:

'My sister broke my father's favorite teacup, but my sister said that I broke it. My parents didn't believe me, and my mother punished me not to have dinner. '

'My sister said that she likes my little bear very much, but it was given to me by my mother. I was very reluctant. In the end, my sister cut up my little bear. My sister said that if she didn't give it to me, then everyone should not take it. Why did my sister treat me like this?Aren't we sisters? '

'My sister said I was ugly, but my teacher said Nana was the cutest! '

'I didn't steal daddy's money, why doesn't mommy believe me?I am the mother's child, why would she rather believe in her sister?Why does home hurt people?I don't want to be here anymore, never again. '

Yu Yu frowned while watching, it seemed that Zhao Lu really treated this later younger sister very badly, but Zhao Na's biological mother also seemed to be very bad to her?

"Zhao Na dropped out of school and left home after finishing junior high school. Afterwards, she made a lot of money and lived a miserable life. After she had plastic surgery, she became an anchor." Zhang Zhibai flipped through the hot pot soup that had begun to bubble.

"The plastic surgery should be expensive, right? She is only 19 years old this year, so how did she make money before?"

"Fringe work."

Yu Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, he really couldn't believe that the girl who smiled so brightly and sweetly at him once did that kind of work.

"But this doesn't prove that Zhao Lu is the murderer?"

At this time, Granny Meng came over with plates of meat and vegetables, and the topic was temporarily suspended. Zhang Zhibai asked everyone to eat first, and then talk after eating. His arms are a bit awkward, but it doesn't affect his eating speed at all.

When the boiled mutton was covered with sauce and put into his mouth, Yu Yu felt that it was worth waiting for so long, just because it was so delicious, better than the one he often ate in Mocheng eat!Immediately, he took another slice and handed it to Duan Ge's mouth.

"Come on, try the spicy one, it's much better than your original soup!"

Duan Ge looked at the red mutton in front of him after dipping in the sauce, squinted his eyes, slowly opened his mouth to cover the entire front of the chopsticks, and then slowly left, chewing the meat in his mouth, Yu Yu kept staring at Duan Ge looked forward to his evaluation, and didn't pay attention to whether his chopsticks were swallowed by Duan Ge.

Under Yu Yu's expectant gaze, after a long time, Duan Ge whispered, "It's delicious."

Yu Yu immediately burst into a big smile, and began to pick up meat for Duan Ge again, very busy.Duan Ge, who squinted his eyes, although his mouth was flushed from the hot pot and his face was gradually stained pink, he still accepted Yu Yu's food in mouthfuls, because he was really happy. The last time they ate hot pot together, Yu Yu Yu also disliked the chopsticks that Duan Ge used, but now he can feed Duan Ge non-stop, which is a great improvement.

Zhang Zhibai swept away a plate of meat, silently put the empty plate aside, and decided to ignore the idiot Yu Yu for the time being.

After a meal, the guests and the host had a good time, and finally Tang Yuan sent a few people back to the hotel. On the way, Yuyu bought several cold medicines and antipyretics in a large plastic bag. After sending them away, Tang Yuan went back to his home. And as soon as he entered the room, Yu Yu remembered that there was Zhang Zhibai, an idiot, laying the floor in their room today!

"If you want to know about Zhao Na, just be quiet." Zhang Zhibai took out his clothes and went into the bathroom very comfortably, throwing a sarcastic comment.

Yu Yu bit his lip, he really wanted to say with integrity that he didn't want to know, but the truth is!He is really curious!
