Your ghost-catching pose is perfect

Jiang Xunli had no choice but to sit down with a few people, and introduced to Jiang Peng: "This girl is named Fu Jinxia, ​​she is... arranged by my family to help me. The Fu family and we are family friends, in the same circle."

Jiang Peng nodded and greeted Fu Jinxia.Jiang Xunli asked the waiter to take the menu again, trying to get away with it.

Fu Jinxia didn't give him a chance to pass the test, looked at Jiang Peng, and asked, "Then this is...? Don't you want to introduce him?"

Jiang Xunli had no choice but to bite the bullet, put his hands on Jiang Peng's shoulders, and said, "His name is Jiang Peng, and he is... a painter."

Fu Jinxia didn't react at first, and after saying hello again, he suddenly widened his eyes and said in surprise, "He's your one——!"

Jiang Xunli kicked Fu Jinxia under the table, Fu Jinxia stopped talking, but opened his eyes and mouth wide open.Dumbfounded for a moment, she took out her phone and sent Jiang Xunli a WeChat message.

"You turned out to be bent?!"

"He is the great painter you like?! Is he so handsome?!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"Have you not confessed yet? How long have you been chasing him? Do you need a relationship counselor?"

"Which one of you will attack and who will suffer?"

"Are you sure he's not straight?"

Jiang Xunli: ...

The heartbroken Jiang Xunli angrily turned off the mobile network of his mobile phone, and put it back in his pocket.At this time, the waiter brought the menu, and he casually threw it to Fu Jinxia to order.Fu Jinxia flipped through the menu, but her eyes kept wandering around Jiang Peng and Jiang Xunli.

Jiang Xunli gave her a blank look, took the menu out of her hand, and said, "Follow me to the back kitchen." He said and threw the menu to Zhang Chuan.

The manager of the restaurant had been watching their table for a long time, and when he saw that Jiang Xunli was going to the back kitchen, he immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Zhang Chuan glanced at the restaurant manager and said, "Let them go and have a look."

Shocked by the aura of the police, the manager of the restaurant could only turn around silently and lead the way for Jiang Xunli and Fu Jinxia.

Jiang Xunli seized the opportunity and whispered in Fu Jinxia's ear: "Master, I'm still in unrequited love, don't make trouble for me!"

Fu Jinxia understood, made a "no problem" gesture, and snickered a few more times.

The two were taken to the back kitchen of the western restaurant, and found that it was very clean and tidy, the floor was well cleaned and the kitchen utensils were well placed.Most of the electrical appliances in the western-style kitchen, there is no soot.The chefs are all wearing uniforms, masks and hats. When they see someone coming to the back kitchen, they take a look and don't say anything.

What Jiang Xunli and Fu Jinxia saw were not just superficial things.

They mobilized the spiritual power in their bodies and walked around the back kitchen.However, the kitchen was as clean as its surface, and the two did not perceive the presence of ghost or evil spirits.Since all the ingredients have been pre-processed, there is not even the dead air that would be brought out by killing animals.

"I heard that the chef here has studied abroad in France, who is it?" Jiang Xunli asked.

The manager of the restaurant hesitated for a while, thinking of the policeman sitting outside, he had no choice but to whisper: "The chef is no longer here."

Jiang Xunli was surprised: "Not here? Changed jobs?"

"What job-hopping? He passed away!" A chef next to him snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't take out the recipe with the cheese in your hand, it will harm our restaurant..."

"Shut up!" The restaurant manager winked.

Jiang Xunli was not interested in cheese, but the death of the restaurant chef made him feel a little strange.

"How did your chef die?" He skipped over the restaurant manager and asked the chef who just answered the question.

Seeing that something was wrong, the restaurant manager immediately tried to stop the chef from speaking.

Unexpectedly, the chef had a bad temper. He took off his mask and hat, threw them on the ground, and said, "What can't you say? Ah? Why can't you say it?! I think this restaurant has done its best! The French dishes are gone. Secret recipe cheese, how can we be better than others?!"

Jiang Xunli glanced at Fu Jinxia, ​​Fu Jinxia understood, raised his hand and gave the chef a heart-cleaning formula.

The chef calmed down quickly.Jiang Xunli raised his voice and said to the other chefs: "Everyone, don't delay work, I just have a routine question here, and it will be over in a while."

After speaking, he turned to the chef who had just answered the question: "Did the chef have an accident in the restaurant? What was the cause of death?"

The chef said: "Yes, in the alley at the back door of the restaurant, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. It was quite late that day, and he left at the end, and no one noticed. It is said that when the cleaning saw him the next morning, he was already dead. It's freezing."

Jiang Xunli nodded: "Okay, you can go to work." Then he said to the restaurant manager: "Take us to the back door."

The manager of the restaurant was very dissatisfied with the two, but he didn't dare to say anything. He led them out of the kitchen with an unhappy expression, and walked around to the back door of the restaurant.

There is a narrow alley outside the back door of the restaurant. The opposite is the back of the office building in front. Although the office building has a glass exterior wall, perhaps because the scenery outside the window is not beautiful, something is pasted on the wall to completely cover the glass exterior wall. .

This alley is not too long, but the surveillance cameras on the road next to it still can't get in. What happened here is very likely to become an unsolved case.

"Meow--"

A meow sounded at the entrance of the alley, and Jiang Xunli turned his head suddenly, and saw a mottled tortoiseshell cat sitting there, looking straight at him with a pair of green eyes.After a while, the cat got up and left the alley.

Jiang Xunli immediately rushed out of the back door of the restaurant, trying to catch up with the cat.However, the tortoiseshell cat ran very fast, and when he turned the corner of the street, he could no longer see the cat, so he had no choice but to return angrily.

Fu Jinxia was speechless: "What are you chasing after it?"

Jiang Xunli frowned and said, "I always feel as if... I see cats a lot recently."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen cats all the time recently.For example, when I went to Dongnan's house, I saw an orange cat on the front cover of the sports car in the yard.For example, when I went to the psychiatry department of the Second Medical University Affiliated Hospital, I met Meng Tan who was holding a black cat.For example, this time, I saw a tortoiseshell cat in the alley outside the back door of a restaurant that was very likely to be haunted by ghosts.

Cats are psychic species, Jiang Xunli felt that this must not be a coincidence.

But even if he knew that these cats were different, he couldn't ask Zhang Chuan or others to help him keep track of a group of cats!

Jiang Xunli scratched his head helplessly, and said, "Forget it, let's eat first."

The two returned to the booth, Zhang Chuan asked about the situation with his eyes, and Jiang Xunli said, "There is nothing unusual about the back kitchen."

At this time, the meals for Jiang Xunli and Jiang Peng were brought to the table.They all ordered hot dishes, and it was not easy to wait for Fu Jinxia and Zhang Chuan to be together. Fortunately, they were not pretentious, so they let them eat first.

While mixing the pasta, Jiang Xunli asked, "By the way, how did you two meet and go together? You came here at the same time."

Zhang Chuan laughed and replied, "I am saving people in danger!"

Jiang Xun was overjoyed: "How do you say?"

"Didn't you read Xiaoxia's circle of friends?"

Zhang Chuan said with a smile: "She said that she was going crazy looking for a rented house in Qianmokou recently. I thought, hey, they are all children from aristocratic families in the circle, so it is not good for her to continue to suffer. Coincidentally, the distance from here Qianmokou Vocational and Technical College is very close, I know someone in the Vocational and Technical College, and I can help her arrange a single dormitory for graduate students, why don't I ask her to go through the formalities together?"

"Can you find someone to arrange a dormitory for the Vocational and Technical College?!" Jiang Xunli was surprised, "Why don't you arrange one for me?"

Zhang Chuan said, "You already have a place to live."

"I'm in a basement!" Jiang Xunli was dissatisfied, "And I have to pay [-] yuan a month! How much is it to rent a university dormitory for a month?"

"Because it's a single room, it's more than 900 a month." Fu Jinxia replied with a smile.

Jiang Xunli said: "I want to rent too!"

Zhang Chuan said: "It's gone, my favor has been used up and I can't use it any more! I'm a policeman, not a rental agency."

Jiang Xunli leaned into the back of the booth sullenly.

Jiang Peng looked back at him at this moment, and asked, "Do you live in the basement?"

"Ah, it's not a pure basement, it's a semi-basement with a small window near the ceiling for ventilation."

Jiang Xunli didn't want to show misery in front of Jiang Peng, besides, he didn't really care about living conditions. When he was a child, he went out with his grandfather to practice and lived in a cave. "Actually, it's okay, the price/performance ratio is quite good, and it has its own separate bathroom, but there is no kitchen... But I don't cook much either."

Jiang Peng hesitated to speak, looked at Fu Jinxia and Zhang Chuan across from him, and swallowed his words.

Not long after, Zhang Chuan and Fu Jinxia's food came to the table, and they buried themselves in the meal, occasionally chatting about current affairs and gossip.

After eating almost, Zhang Chuan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, my child called the crematorium."

"Huh?" Jiang Xunli was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Zhang Chuan was talking about Qi Xiaotian's corpse, "What do you say over there?"

"They said they hadn't received a child named Qi Xiaotian recently, and they asked Uncle Xiaoxiao's name, but they hadn't received one either."

Zhang Chuan tapped his fingers on the table, looking a little anxious: "It is very possible that Qi Xiaotian's body was not actually sent at that time, but was falsely claimed halfway."

Hearing this, Jiang Xunli suddenly slapped the table: "The chef's body!"

Zhang Chuan: "Huh?"

Jiang Xunli told Zhang Chuan what he heard in the back kitchen just now, Zhang Chuan's face became more serious, and he immediately called the restaurant manager to inquire.

The manager of the restaurant was about to suffer from a nervous breakdown due to today's accident, so he gave up on everything that happened in the restaurant recently.

"The chef died unexpectedly, and his apprentice was the only one who inherited his cheese formula. We wanted to keep his apprentice with a high salary, but he said he was sad and unable to work, so he resigned and said he would escort his master's The ashes returned to the hometown. By the way, the chef has no wife and children, and his parents have passed away long ago, and his apprentices are still in charge of his funeral."

"What's his apprentice's name? Where is he from?" Zhang Chuan asked.

"My name is Zheng Bin, from Jin Province." The restaurant manager said, "The chef's name is Fang Guiqi, who is also from Jin Province. It is said that the two are related."

Zhang Chuan wrote down the names of the two, and was going to check back when he had time.

After dinner, Jiang Xunli was not in the mood to go to the movies anymore, and said to Jiang Peng apologetically, "Next time, when these messy things are resolved, I will definitely make up today's movie!"

Jiang Peng said, "It's important to be busy with business."

Zhang Chuan took Fu Jinxia to Qianmokou Vocational and Technical College to do the dormitory formalities, Jiang Peng and Jiang Xunli strolled back to the community, and said goodbye at the side of the road where they parked at the gate.

Jiang Xunli watched Jiang Peng drive away, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.

The author has something to say:

Painter Jiang:! ! ! (I have a house! Come live with me!)
