In a short moment, Huang Ling changed into her house clothes and came to the narrow kitchen before carrying the gruel out from the oven .
"Come and have breakfast, Xiao Li . " Huang Ling said and then carried a small plate of pickled vegetables .
"Ok . Don’t we have cowpea?" The boy looked at the radishes on the plate and revealed a manner of dislike .
"We still have to wait another day to eat the cowpea and can only eat it tomorrow . If you don’t like the radishes, you can eat some preserved vegetables . " Huang Ling took out half a package of preserved vegetables .
"Never mind . Let’s eat the radishes . " Xiao Li sat down, but he didn’t eat the preserved vegetables .
"Ok . I will cook the egg flower soup with preserved vegetables for lunch . " Huang Ling put away the preserved vegetables and comforted him .
"Great . Thank you, sister . " On the pale and emaciated face of Xiao Li revealed a smile .
"You are welcome . I will take a nap in the moment . You can go out and walk around . It’s quite a sunny day today . " Huang Ling was eating and saying while she was looking at the expression of Xiao Li with care .
"Sure, I will . " Xiao Li ceased to smile and answered with a low voice .
"Let’s get down to eating . " Huang Ling heaved a sigh in the heart . Without showing her feelings, she said mildly .
The atmosphere at the dining table was warm and quiet . The sister and brother behaved very well at the dining table, not making any sounds while eating .
After the meal, they chatted for a while . Seeing Xiao Li have a good mood, Huang Ling then went to rest reassuringly . The overnight labor made her fall asleep very quickly and just in a little while her even breaths were heard .
Only then did Xiao Li bring out the phone and play an online game in the badly lighted room . The long fringes covered his face, making him appear gloomier . With the light of the phone shining on his face, even his fine hair was clearly seen, which made him appear to be thinner and weaker .
The nap lasted until midday . Having an exact biological clock, Huang Ling woke up by herself . After she got up and cleared her head for a moment, she began to put on her clothes and clean the room before preparing to cook lunch .
It was a small flat with two bedrooms, without the living room . The kitchen and bathroom were all neat and the two bedrooms were of different sizes . Having failed in persuading her brother to change the room, Huang Ling lived in the larger room . Luckily, there was a big window in the smaller room and hence it appeared to have the most luminous beam .
"Zhi Ya", Huang Ling opened the door and saw Xiao Li doing the leg exercises alone there . She revealed a smile on the face and went to the kitchen after closing the door lightly .
She took out some thawed meat from the preservation box of the fridge and then an egg and some chives . These were to be the dishes for lunch .
While Huang Ling was cooking the lunch, Yuan Zhou had likewise started his business hours at noon after he had mastered the new skills and completed the mission .
When it was bustling at the front door due to the long line, a crowd of 20 or 30 young people, men and women, headed directly for Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .
From a distance, their words were clearly heard .
"What did I say? We can definitely find the place according to the gourmet map . See, here we are . The one having the most people waiting in line is definitely the restaurant," a lively girl said happily .
"Ya Ya, you are awesome . Great at finding the way . " Following the lively girl, a mature woman praised her .
"Thanks, Sister Wan . It’s a pretty nice place . With the quiet surrounding, it’s indeed like one that has a talented master beyond the noisy world . " The girl called Ya Ya said delightedly while she was looking at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant from a distance .
"I heard the dishes are too damn expensive . We just don’t know if the taste is as good as is described . " This was a person who was worried about the dishes .
"Yeah, you are right . The dumplings we ate yesterday in another restaurant tasted way too bad . " Another complaint followed closely .
"It supposedly won’t happen to this one . Those restaurants have developed into brand chain restaurants, so of course the taste of the dishes changed," a young person who seemed to know this industry said directly .
"Look at the long line . I’m pretty sure now they are delicious . " Looking at the long line at the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, the woman called Sister Wan said faintly . She wore denim shorts and a white shirt with her hair tied, seeming to be a mature woman .
"Damn it . We have to line up again . " Some other person began to complain .
Luckily that they had all reviewed the forum and gourmet map and hence had sufficient patience .
As a result, the line got much longer immediately and formed into three rows .
The three people of the police station were so tired that they immediately took a nap at the table . Since they were unable to go back home at this time of day, they had only to make do with their sleepiness .
"I feel better now . What shall we eat for lunch?" Lin Cong woke up first and straightway woke the other two persons .
"Whatever . " With a look of solemnity, Boss Zhao seemed to have gotten up on the dark side of the bed .
"What about that restaurant?" Zheng Xing became excited .
"Ok . " "No . " Lin Cong and Boss Zhao said with one voice, but the words were contrary to each other .
"Why?" Zheng Xing and Lin Cong spoke with one voice this time .
"Our target is not far away . We’ll probably expose ourselves if we go there too frequently, so we should reduce the frequency of appearing there," Boss Zhao considered for a while and then said seriously .
"I think our Boss is just stingy . " Out of the working hours, Lin Cong always showed no sufficient respect to his seniors .
"Humm . Boss Zhao, I will believe that you aren’t stingy if you offer a triumphal feast there later . " Zheng Xing revealed a big smile of honesty .
"As a policeman, how can we get involved in corruption? So let’s go to the usual place, our mess room, for lunch . " Boss Zhao made the final decision .
"But . . . " Lin Cong still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Boss Zhao directly .
"Speaking of which, I always feel the name of Huang Ling is so familiar . Do you guys have the same feeling?" Boss Zhao changed the subject primly .
"Yes, I have a little memory of that . I wanted to tell you in the morning, but I forgot . " Speaking of that, Lin Cong also felt the same and hence chimed in .
"It might be a case that we have dealt with before?" said Zheng Xing with uncertainty .
"When you check the folder about this case in a little while, you can trace that name and try to get some useful information," Boss Zhao instructed .
"Yes, sir . I’m going right now, otherwise we’ll lose time again," Zheng Xing answered with a nod .
For vaguely familiar names, Zheng Xing had a fairly good memory despite his plain look . He approximately remembered it was a case about one year ago, therefore he mostly looked up the materials of the latest one year while checking the folder .
No long after, Zheng Xing took the folder and went back to the office .
"What’s wrong? Look at your depressed look . " Asked Lin Cong curiously .
The case in the folder was basically known to them . What was it that made the smiling tiger (symbolizing an outwardly kind but inwardly cruel person), Zheng Xing, so serious?
"Boss, look at this . " Zheng Xing took out some thin pages of the folder and handed them to Boss Zhao directly .
"Alright . Let me have a look . " Boss Zhao was looking at the deployment diagram . When he heard Lin Cong shout, he received the folder and put it aside first .
"Let me check . " Lin Cong then took the several pages in his hands .
The several pages were truly not much, thus Lin Cong likewise finished quickly . Then, he straightway shouted in surprise, "So it is this case . That’s way too weird . "
Only then did Boss Zhao, who was immersed in details of the deployment diagram, got awakened by their talk .
"What’s the matter with you guys?" Boss Zhao was quite puzzled .
"Boss, you’ll know that after you check the pages . " Lin Cong handed the folder to him solemnly .
5 minutes later, Boss Zhao heaved a sigh, "It turns out to be this girl . She seems to be having a better time now . "
"But the behavior in the morning today was way too strange," answered Zheng Xing softly .
"Indeed . Let’s draw the net in tonight and go to visit her tomorrow . Then, everything will be clear," Boss Zhao also said with a depressed voice .
Actually, the folder only recorded the family background of Huang Ling . But her background and her deeds in the morning were nevertheless not in harmony . . .
