"It's so good!" At noon the next day, at a hot pot restaurant in Andu City, Zhao Yu took out all the napkins from the paper towel and wiped it on his face, "Andu hot pot really lives up to its reputation, it's so spicy!"
Because the hot pot was so spicy, Zhao Yu's whole body felt like he had been in a sauna. No matter how he wiped it, he was still sweating profusely...
"I told you," Cui Lizhu pouted, "How about a mandarin duck pot? You have to show off, I tell you, you are not allowed to leave any leftovers today, just eat them all!"
"Hoo ho..." Zhao Yu picked up a bunch of peppercorns with chopsticks and sighed, "This peppercorn is actually green, so numb. It's so numb that it's really hard to eat!"
"It's okay, it's okay..." Zhang Ling said hurriedly when he saw this, "Just try it. What you ordered is indeed a bit spicy, I can't even eat it!"
"Later, I will take you to the snack street and try the snacks there... There are so many delicacies in Andu!"
"No need," Zhao Yu took a big sip of Sprite and said, "Just eat a little. Let's wait until the case is over to talk about those delicious snacks!"
"Great!" Zeng Ke said, "This is my first time in Andu, and I'm still thinking about going around the nearby areas! Dujiangyan, Leshan Giant Buddha and so on. When the case is concluded, I will go with Peipei... um... "
"Then..." Zhang Ling rushed to the waiter and waved, "Why don't we change the pot of clear soup? Officer Ran Tao and Officer Wu Xiumin haven't arrived yet, just add another pot!
"We agreed first that I have to pay for this meal, haha..."
Unexpectedly, as if it came true, as soon as Zhang Ling finished speaking, Ran Tao entered the private room in a hurry: "Oh, it's so hot. You guys are still eating hot pot. It's really..."
While complaining, Ran Tao rolled up his sleeves and sat next to the hot pot, grabbing the chopsticks without any explanation!
"Huh?" Cui Lizhu took a look and asked, "Brother Tao, where are Sister Wu? Aren't you two together?"
"Oh..." Ran Tao quickly explained to Zhao Yu, "We originally came out together, but there was a sudden call from the media department asking her to discuss the press conference, so we left!"
"Tsk, tsk..." After hearing this, Zhao Yu put down his chopsticks and murmured, "Didn't I tell the senior leaders of Andu already? The Ghost King case has not been closed yet, so we can't hold a press conference now?"
"Yes! If it is released, we will have to close the case even if we don't want to!" Cui Lizhu said, "If something happens to this case, wouldn't it mean that the police broke their word?"
"Oh, no, no, no..." Ran Tao explained hurriedly, "It's just a discussion, just a discussion. Team leader, Sister Wu has a sense of proportion. If she encounters something that she can't take charge of, she will ask you for instructions!"
"Um… "
Ran Tao was right. Zhao Yu was relatively reassured by Wu Xiumin's style of doing things.
"But..." Zhang Ling said with concern, "Although there are still doubts, we can't delay it too long! After all, the Ghost King case has caused a sensation among the public. The above meaning is that it is best to close the case as soon as possible. good!"
"Of course I know this," Zhao Yu said after swallowing hard, "So, next, I have to ask everyone to continue their efforts to investigate the truth of the case!
"If Qi Hao is the real culprit in the Ghost King case, that would be the best! However, if he has accomplices or another murderer, we must not let such a dangerous person go unpunished!
"Ouch, it's so spicy, so spicy... ohhhh... "
"Yes!" The team members all said yes.
"By the way," Ran Tao saw this and had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and said to Zhao Yu, "Team leader, I just came back from the investigation team. Qi Hao is indeed a homebody. He never leaves the house or takes a step out. He doesn't even bother eating. It's takeout!
"He orders takeout almost every day at noon, buying two portions at a time. He probably keeps one portion and heats it up for himself at night...
"We have just asked all the food delivery people who have delivered food to him," Ran Tao continued, "They said that they could see Qi Hao in person when delivering food in the past, but in the past month or so, even Qi Hao has not been able to see him. No more!
"Qi Hao installed a special food delivery port on the door of his house. The food delivery person only needs to put the food box in, so he has never been seen again!
"However, the delivery boys prefer to deliver food to Qi Hao, because every time, Qi Hao will give them good reviews!"
"Not seeing anyone..." Zeng Ke was the first to ask, "Could it be that Qi Hao has made up his mind to do the Ghost King case, so he doesn't show his face?"
"No," Cui Lizhu put down the meat slices covered with seasonings and said, "I think even if Qi Hao is determined to do the Ghost King case, there is no need to not show up, right
"Anyway, he has already planned to commit suicide to die in love, so is he still afraid of people seeing it
"Do you think... could it be that he is controlled by someone? The person who doesn't want to see anyone is actually the big BOSS behind the scenes?"
"Xiao Cui," Ran Tao shook his head and said, "You have no imagination! Do you think... do you think that Qi Hao was wrongly accused and that the entire Ghost King case has nothing to do with him. He is just a scapegoat?"
"But... with so much evidence, as well as his relationship with Tao Yulan, and his relationship with Mi Rou, can it be said that... these can all be faked?"
"Brother Tao," Cui Lizhu pouted, "then tell me, what can we be sure of now?"
"This..." Ran Tao was speechless.
Indeed, as of now, they have not found out any relationship between Qi Hao, Mi Rou, Tao Yulan and Ghost King Lu.
"We have encountered many strange cases before," Zeng Ke said, "I think raising a doubt like Xiao Cui did is a good way to find out the truth!
"For example..." Zeng Ke said, "I checked Qi Hao's online status today. Although he is a homebody, he does not necessarily have psychological problems!
"For example, he often plays League of Legends and is an important figure in the team. He even participated in the regional knockout tournament.
“I looked at his chat records with his teammates, and he really doesn’t look like that kind of mentally deformed, dark or perverted person!
“Also, he has a more positive attitude when talking about business and is eloquent. When taking orders and doing work, he often gives customers a lot of suggestions and seeks more benefits from then on...
"Also, regarding his private life," Zeng Ke added, "Through his chat records, I feel that he can still interact with women normally, and he has many female netizens.
"Did you know?" Zeng Ke asked again, "I also found a full 2TB of movies from his computer!"
"Wow!" Ran Tao's eyes widened, "Isn't it a perversion to collect so many movies? He has watched a lot, but has no actual experience. He must have fantasies about women, so he likes women like Mirou
"Isn't this reasonable?"
"Then..." Cui Lizhu added some chopsticks and asked Ran Tao, "Brother Tao, how many have you collected?"
"Me? I'm less than 1TB! Well..." Ran Tao was stunned suddenly, and his old face turned red instantly.
"Yes!" Cui Lizhu narrowed her eyes, "Are you considered a pervert?"
"Indeed," Zeng Ke said, "If an adult otaku has these things, he is more like a normal person! If he doesn't, it would be abnormal!"
"It seems..." Cui Lizhu glanced at Zeng Ke maliciously and muttered in a low voice, "Xiao Zeng must have at least 10TB in his collection, right?"
"..." Zeng Ke's face turned red and he quickly wiped away his sweat...
