Xingnian Tea House

"Didn't Ayue want to talk to me about the case?"

Qiao Xingnian leaned against the head of the bed, stroking Lin Nanyue's back, while Lin Nanyue lay on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"En." Lin Nanyue lazily replied, in order to let him see what he said, he reluctantly got up and sat side by side on the bed with him.

"Is there any progress in today's investigation?"

"I ran for a day today and visited all of Yu Feng's relatives, including his ex-wife." Lin Nanyue said while holding Qiao Xingnian's hand.

Now Lin Nanyue is a little lazy and absent-minded, as if he hasn't recovered from the lingering rhyme just now.

Seeing that he didn't continue, Qiao Xingnian asked helplessly, "Is there any progress?"

Lin Nanyue raised his head to look at Qiao Xingnian, as if he just came back to his senses, and said, "His ex-wife scoffed at Feng, and was reluctant to say much at first, but she didn't speak until she learned of Yu Feng's death."

……

"He deserves to die!" Liu Qiaolan's eyes were full of hatred for Feng, she took out a cigarette from her bag, took out one and lit it, the smoke drifted around her fingertips, she exhaled a smoke ring, and said: "He is a pervert , Pretend to be affectionate in front of me, turn around and have a heated fight with others, and even men and women are not taboo. I was really blind to marry him."

"You and Yu Feng divorced because of this?"

"This kind of man won't get divorced, so why not keep it for the New Year?" Liu Qiaolan asked Lin Nanyue back, then took another puff of cigarette, and said, "When I think of him having sex with me on the front foot, and having sex with a man on the back foot, I feel like hell nausea."

"You mean he's gay and married you to hide his sexual orientation?"

"No, he is bisexual. I first found out that he was having an affair with a woman. Later, I followed him and found out that he was having a room with a man. You said this is not bisexual, what is it?" Liu Qiaolan put the cigarette case Throwing it in the trash can next to him, he said: "Thinking about living with him for the past two years, I feel that I am in shock. It is best for him to die, so as not to cause harm to others."

Lin Nanyue then asked: "Do you know the man who had sex with Yu Feng?"

"I don't know him. If it was someone I knew, I would have made trouble for him a long time ago."

"How old is that man and what he looks like, do you remember?"

"Are you asking this to suspect that the person who killed him was the man who slept with him?"

Lin Nanyue didn't answer, but said, "You only need to answer my question."

Liu Qiaolan curled her lips, took out her mobile phone and found a few photos from the photo album, showed them to Lin Nanyue, and said, "This is the man. This is the evidence I kept for Yu Feng to go out of the house, but I didn't expect it to become a piece of evidence now." It’s really funny to think about the clues to help him.”

Lin Nanyue took the phone and looked at it. The man in the photo was wearing a mask and a hat, so he couldn't see his face at all.He took out his mobile phone to take a photo, and then sent the photo to his mobile phone, and said, "Did you ask who this man was afterwards?"

Liu Qiaolan nodded and said: "I asked, he didn't say anything, but he beat me up, can I bear it? He called the police right away, and with those photos and house opening records as evidence, he could only Get out of the house."

"Besides this man, are there any men who are close to Yu Feng?"

"A close one?" Liu Qiaolan thought for a while and said, "There are two men who have a good relationship with him. One is Hao Fei and the other is Meng Hao. It is said that they are college classmates and have visited the house several times."

"Hao Fei, Meng Hao, are these words?" Lin Nanyue wrote in his notebook.

"I really don't know about this. It's okay for anyone to ask them how to write their names. But Yu Feng's phone should have their contact information."

"Has Yu Feng contacted you recently?"

"No, I blocked him a long time ago, and I don't want to see him again in my life." The hatred and contempt in Liu Qiaolan's eyes did not hide at all.

Lin Nanyue took out the photos of Gao Yang and Liang Chao from his notebook and asked, "Have you seen these two men?"

Liu Qiaolan took the photo and looked at it, then shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

"Then has he ever mentioned something about his school days to you?"

"No." Liu Qiaolan stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, threw it into the trash can, and said, "Actually, we met on a blind date. At that time, my family always forced me to go on a blind date. I was annoyed by it. Seeing that he looks pretty good." , decided to try it out with him.

During the two months of getting along, he behaved very well, was gentle and considerate, and asked about his health, I thought he was a good person, and then married him.It took three months from blind date to marriage. "

"As far as you know, does he have any strange quirks?"

"Look at what you're asking, isn't it surprising that he's a man who doesn't care about men and women?"

"Besides this, what other special hobbies does he have?"

"Speaking of hobbies..." Sun Qiaolan thought for a while and said, "His opponents are very concerned. When I was with him before, he would always hold my hand and watch. Not only would he never let me into the kitchen, but he would also give me Buy all kinds of skin care products and do manicure with me."

Lin Nanyue looked at Sun Qiaolan's hands, and had to say that her hands were really beautiful. Perhaps it was because of this habit that the murderer cut off ten of Yu Feng's fingers.

Lin Nanyue took out his phone again, carefully looked at the photo that was just sent, and found that the man's hands were also quite beautiful.

……

After listening to Lin Nanyue's narration, Qiao Xingnian said aloud, "So the murderer cut off Yu Feng's fingers because he has a hand fetish?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "I think so too."

"Where is the picture of that man, show me."

Lin Nanyue let go of Qiao Xingnian's hand, found the photo on his phone and handed it to him, saying, "He's wearing a mask and hat, so he can't see his face clearly."

Qiao Xingnian zoomed in on the photos, looked at them carefully, pointed to one of the photos, and said, "Look here."

Lin Nanyue looked over and said, "Is this...reflection?"

"That's right, it's the reflection." Qiao Xingnian re-looked at the previous photos, and said, "In the previous photos, you can see that he didn't wear a ring on his hand, so it can't be the reflection of the ring, but from this From the point of view, it should be the reflection on the nail."

"The reflections on the nails?" Lin Nanyue frowned slightly, and then said, "You mean he had manicures?"

"That's the only possibility."

"A big man doing nail art? Is she actually a woman, disguised as a man?"

Qiao Xingnian said jokingly: "Ah Yue, no one stipulates that men cannot have manicures."

"But..." Lin Nanyue stopped suddenly, looked at the photo with a strange expression, and said, "Well, he has an Adam's apple, so he is indeed a man."

"Maybe this is Yu Feng's special hobby."

"You mean his hobby is getting men to do manicures?"

Qiao Xingnian laughed lightly when he heard the words, and said, "A Yue, I noticed that you don't seem to be in the mood today, if you are too tired, go to bed early, you have to go to work tomorrow morning."

Lin Nanyue's face became hot, he was really out of shape, but anyone who is naked/naked with the person he loves will not have distracting thoughts.He said shyly, "How about we turn off the lights? Maybe I can't see you, so I can concentrate."

"It turns out that I hindered Ayue's thinking, so I'll sleep next door."

Without further ado, Lin Nanyue turned off the bedside lamp, lay down and hugged Qiao Xingnian's waist, and said, "It's too late today, let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do."

Qiao Xing smiled young, then put the phone aside and lay down.

"Xingnian, tomorrow is Auntie's birthday, what gift should I prepare?"

"Ayue is so busy, do you have time to go?"

"Yes, when I visit your house for the first time, I can always find time."

"Did you give the gift you prepared for me to my aunt last time?"

"No. Do you want me to transfer it to Auntie?"

"Well, if the gift is not given away, it is still yours, not a transfer."

"But won't this appear insincere?"

"That gift is worth a lot of money. How can you say it's not sincere? Let it be. My mother will definitely like it."

"Well then, listen to you."

"good night."

"Good night."

……

The next day, Lin Nanyue rarely stayed in bed, lying on the bed and looking at Qiao Xingnian beside him, his facial features were really good-looking, people never got tired of seeing him, he always wondered how could there be such a good-looking person, but Such a good-looking person belongs to him now, and will definitely belong to him in the future.

Whenever he thinks of this, Lin Nanyue can't help but feel complacent. It's a pity that he had already taken the initiative last night, but Qiao Xingnian insisted on not making it to the last step. Although he knew that he was doing it for his own good, Lin Nanyue always felt a little lost .

Qiao Xingnian's senses have always been keen, and it's impossible not to feel it when he is looked at by such a pair of fiery eyes.He opened his eyes helplessly and said, "Aren't Ayue going for a morning run today?"

"I'm a little tired, I don't think about it."

Qiao Xingnian picked up his phone and checked the time, it was just 06:30.He hugged Lin Nanyue sideways and said, "Then sleep with me for another half an hour."

"it is good."

Sensing Lin Nanyue's gaze, Qiao Xingnian said helplessly, "Close your eyes."

Lin Nanyue closed his eyes obediently when he heard the words, the drowsiness that had disappeared came back again, and he soon fell asleep.

"Buzz buzz", the phone vibrated, Qiao Xingnian took out the phone and turned off the alarm.Lin Nanyue only moved his body, but did not open his eyes.

Qiao Xingnian stared at the ceiling in a daze for 2 minutes. His brain that had been shut down finally resumed functioning. He patted Lin Nanyue and said, "Ayue wake up, it's time to get up."

Lin Nanyue opened his eyes, looked up at Qiao Xingnian, and asked, "What time is it?"

"07:30. If Ayue is not in a hurry, I'll make breakfast now."

Lin Nanyue struggled for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's go out to eat, or I'm afraid I'll be late."

"Okay, then get up."

Qiao Xingnian sat up and got out of the bed naked, not at all uncomfortable, but Lin Nanyue blushed involuntarily when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It turns out that a man's body curve can be so beautiful !"

Qiao Xingnian opened the closet on his own, and found a white casual outfit. The top was a hooded short-sleeved jacket without a pattern, but there was a pocket on the left chest. Black buttons, under the buttons are sewn with a black thread with an upward arc at both ends, and the buttons just form a smiling face.

The trousers were cuffed cropped trousers, khaki, and also had a smiley face on the back pocket, but the color was darker.

Qiao Xingnian changed his clothes, took a picture in front of the mirror, and said, "Nanzhou has a good eye, and he has good taste in choosing clothes."

"You look good in clothes because you are good-looking, it has nothing to do with clothes."

Qiao Xingnian didn't see what Lin Nanyue said, turned to look at him, and said, "Get up quickly, A Yue, I'm going to wash up first."

Qiao Xingnian was aware of Lin Nanyue's temperament, so he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to leave the room.

Lin Nanyue heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, got out of the bed naked, picked out a suit of clothes and changed into it, and accidentally saw the hickey on his neck.He looked in the mirror, couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and deliberately pulled his collar to expose it.

Qiao Xingnian came out of the bathroom, and saw the hickey on Lin Nanyue's neck at a glance, frowned slightly, stepped forward and rubbed it, and said, "A Yue, you have a hickey on your neck, do you need to cover it?"

"Is there?" Lin Nanyue pretended not to know, and said, "If there is, there must be. How can we cover it in such a hot day?"

"Well, I'll pay attention next time."

Lin Nanyue's eyes lit up, and said, "Xingnian, today is Auntie's birthday, it might be a little late to go home tonight, or..."

How could Qiao Xingnian fail to understand what Lin Nanyue meant, and said, "I didn't go back yesterday, so my brother wouldn't think too much about it. If he doesn't go back today, he might become suspicious."

"Then when do you plan to make our relationship public?"

"At least wait until the case in A Yue's hands is over. After all, if our matter is made public, I'm afraid you won't have the energy to work."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After the two had breakfast, Lin Nanyue sent Qiao Xingnian to the tea house first, and then drove to the police station.

Qiao Xingnian was early, and after entering the door, he pulled down the shutter door again, then went straight up to the third floor, and sent the surveillance video of the past few days, as well as the information sent by Jiang Mohan yesterday, to Lin Nanyue's mailbox.

The business of the teahouse is too busy recently, he doesn't even have time to eat, and he doesn't have time to check the video, so he can only hand it over to Lin Nanyue, let him find time to find the person who installed the monitor.

Qiao Xingnian went downstairs after changing her clothes, only to find Gao Zhan standing in the shop with the shutter door pulled up.

Seeing Qiao Xingnian coming down, Gao Zhan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Boss, you are here."

"You come early every day."

"The place I rented is a bit far from here. I was afraid that I would wake up late and miss the bus. It would be bad if I was late, so I would come here half an hour earlier every day. I was lucky these two days, and I just caught the bus when I went downstairs. So it's early."

"Where did you rent the house?"

"Qingyue Community is in the south of the city. If you take the bus, it will take at least half an hour."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "If you plan to work in the tea house for a long time, you should find a house nearby, it will be more convenient to go back and forth."

Gao Zhan said embarrassingly: "I just graduated, and my money is a bit tight. The houses over there are cheaper. When I get paid, I will find a house nearby."

"Don't worry, wages are definitely indispensable. In view of your good performance recently, I will give you some bonuses at the end of the month as appropriate. As long as you work hard, you will definitely not be treated badly."

"thank you boss."

Qiao Xingnian said seemingly unintentionally: "The five of you have been here for a few days, and you should know each other well. Who do you have a better relationship with?"

Gao Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have a good relationship with Jiao Ran. We both just graduated from college and have similar hobbies. So we can chat with him better."

Qiao Xingnian hesitated for a moment, and said: "You should have heard that the two salespersons I recruited before had accidents due to various problems, which had a great impact on the tea house. I haven't been in contact with you for long. , I don’t know you very well, what do you think of their character? Have you noticed anything wrong?”

Gao Zhan looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Boss, isn't it a bit bad to talk about others behind their backs?"

"As long as you're telling the truth, it's not a discussion. Besides, we are also for the tea house. Only when the tea house is good can we be good. Are you right?"

Gao Zhan scratched his head and said, "We've only been together for a few days, and we're not that familiar with each other, so I'm afraid I can't give the boss any advice."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "It's okay, go and change, they should be here too."

Gao Zhan nodded nervously and said, "Okay, then...then I'll go up first."

Qiao Xingnian didn't speak, but just nodded.

Soon, other people also walked into the tea house one after another. Qiao Xingnian asked them the same question. Three of them answered very similarly to Gao Zhan, they didn't want to meddle in other people's business, only Huang Qinglan was different.

"Gao Zhan and Liu Ming have good personalities. They are kind and hard-working. Jiao Ran is selfish and greedy for petty gains. He is usually fine, but when something happens, he must be the first one to pick someone up. Huo Chunping... Don't look at him usually quiet, but he always looks at people with vigilance in his eyes, it should not be as simple as he looks on the surface."

Qiao Xingnian looked at Huang Qinglan and said calmly, "In your opinion, Jiao Ran and Huo Chunping are not suitable to work in the teahouse?"

Huang Qinglan looked directly at Qiao Xingnian and said, "I'm just answering the boss's question. As for what the boss wants to do, I can decide for myself."

"Okay, I will remember what you said."

Qiao Xingnian glanced at his hands and said with a smile: "I want to record an instructional video on how to make tea recently. People don't need to leave the country, they just need to move their hands. Your hand shape is very beautiful. Are you interested?" ?”

Huang Qinglan didn't answer and asked instead: "The boss's hand shape is also very beautiful, why don't you take pictures yourself?"

Qiao Xingnian said meaningfully: "What I want to shoot is the most basic teaching of tea making. It is not suitable for me to come."

Huang Qinglan looked at him, seeming to understand what he meant, and said, "Yes, whenever the boss plans to record, just call me."

Qiao Xingnian said casually: "You are wearing a ring, are you married?"

Huang Qinglan raised her hand, touched the ring on her hand subconsciously, and said, "Not yet, but I already have a partner, and marriage is a matter of time."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Very good, I can bring her to drink tea if I have the chance."

Huang Qinglan smiled and said, "Okay. If the boss has nothing to do, I'll go to work first."

Qiao Xingnian responded, Huang Qinglan turned and went downstairs.

In the blink of an eye, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and Qiao Xingnian felt helpless when he saw the crowds of guests. Today is Qiao Hailan's birthday, and he had already agreed to go home on time at six o'clock in the evening, but now the situation...

Qiao Xingnian sighed, called Huang Qinglan, and said, "I have something to do tonight and I have to leave before six o'clock. You will take care of the business at night. Do you think there is a problem?"

Huang Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "As long as the boss trusts me, I will not let you down."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "You have the skills to make tea, but you lack patience. You have to remember that you would rather keep the guests waiting for a while than ensure the quality of the tea, understand?"

"Understood, I will pay attention."

"Call them here, I have something to say."

Huang Qinglan called the other four people over, and Qiao Xingnian glanced at everyone, and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I'll leave later, Huang Qinglan will make tea next time, the four of you will help him, follow his orders, understand ?"

The four looked at Huang Qinglan at the same time, with different expressions on their faces, and said in unison: "Understood."

"Okay. Tonight is a test for you. I hope you don't let me down. I will check the monitoring tomorrow. Tonight's performance will be used as a reference for you to stay. Can you hear me clearly?"

Hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, everyone cheered up and said, "Yes, boss."

As soon as Qiao Xingnian finished speaking with them, Lin Nanyue opened the door and walked in. He was dressed in a neat suit, shiny leather shoes, and seemed to have specially done his hair.

Qiao Xingnian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "A Yue is very handsome today!"

Lin Nanyue looked up and down, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this considered decent for me?"

Qiao Xingnian said jokingly: "It's decent, if you don't know, you might think it's the president of a listed company who came to visit."

Lin Nanyue frowned slightly, and said, "Is it too serious, why don't I change it again?"

"Change a set? It's probably too late to go shopping for clothes now."

"No, I have clothes in the car, go over and have a look and help me choose a set."

Qiao Xingnian said in surprise, "You have clothes in the car, and more than one set?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Time is running out, you can quickly help me choose a suit, let's go up and change together."

Qiao Xingnian let Lin Nanyue pull him out of the tea house. When he came to the car, Lin Nanyue opened the trunk. Qiao Xingnian looked at the piles of clothes and four or five shoe boxes inside, feeling a little dumbfounded.

"Ayue, you must have brought all the clothes from home."

Lin Nanyue's face became hot, and he said, "Nothing, just picked a few bodies, please help me take a look."

Qiao Xingnian bent down to look, and picked out a milky white T-shirt, a pair of sky blue slacks, and a pair of white casual shoes. They were clean, refreshing and comfortable.

Lin Nanyue looked at the clothes in his hand and said, "Isn't this too casual?"

"I don't need to dress neatly to look unfamiliar when I meet my family, not my clients."

The words "my family" comforted Lin Nanyue and let his nervous heart relax. He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, then let's change quickly, don't be late."

After the two changed their clothes, they hurried downstairs. Qiao Xingnian went to the mall to pick up the gifts he ordered, and then drove home.

Lin Nanyue found a public parking space outside the gate of Hongda Community and parked his car, and got out of the car with Qiao Xingnian.

Taking out the big and small bags from the back seat, Qiao Xingnian smiled helplessly and said, "Ayue, you bought so many things, when will you be able to finish them?"

"These look like a lot, but they are actually packaged, and there are not many things in them. Uncles and aunts are getting old, and these supplements should be taken regularly."

"Hearing what you said, why do I feel a little sorry in my heart, are you their son, or am I?"

"Didn't you just say that we are a family?"

Looking at Lin Nanyue's glowing red ears, Qiao Xingnian was immediately pleased, and said with a smile, "That's right, they are all sons, and we should honor them."

The corners of Lin Nanyue's mouth turned up, and he smiled at Qiao Xingnian.

The two didn't say much, and entered the community with their things.

As soon as he came downstairs, Qiao Xingnian ran into Jiang Chunmin who was coming downstairs, who was Jiang Mohan's father.

Jiang Chunmin saw Qiao Xingnian from a distance, and said with a smile, "Xiao Nian, you are here."

Qiao Xingnian hurriedly said hello and said, "Dad, why did you go downstairs?"

Jiang Chunmin was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, the smile on his face deepened, and he said, "There is no soy sauce at home, your mother asked me to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle. Is this your friend?"

"Well, his name is Lin Nanyue."

Lin Nanyue hurriedly said hello, "Hello, Uncle."

Jiang Chunmin nodded, looked at Lin Nanyue, and said, "Okay, this is the first time Xiaonian brought a friend home."

"Dad, go and buy it quickly. If it's late, my mother will be nagging again."

"Okay, you guys hurry up, your mother will start preparing in the afternoon and wait for you to come back."

Qiao Xingnian didn't say any more, and took Lin Nanyue upstairs.
