Now, what will Boss Dai's business do in the future? "
After learning that her son did not commit any crime, the old woman also chatted with Liu Chu at ease.
This old woman is also a really good person. The restaurant is closed. She doesn't worry about her son's job, but she has a heart for Boss Dai.
The cook on the side seemed a little dissatisfied with his mother's words, and he said to dissuade her, "Mother, don't talk about it, go back to the house, Boss Dai is a rich man, this loss is nothing to them, you don't have to. I have a heart for people."
While drinking water, Liu Chu observed the mother and son secretly. The cook seemed to be very protective of Boss Dai on weekdays, but from the tone of his voice today, his attitude towards Boss Dai was a bit strange.
The Boss Dai, who has always been famous for his style, didn't expect that some people hated and protected him. For example, this old woman was worried about her, and Liu Chu was silent.
The first priority, however, is whether the cook and the salesman have known each other before.
Judging from the chef's reaction at present, he is not familiar with the salesman.
Liu Chu shifted his gaze to the cook's old mother, "Old man, I don't know which village your mother's hometown is?"
The cook seems to be about to say something, but the old woman has already said, "We are from Huangshi Village."
"Yellowstone Village? It seems to be very close to the village where the salesman lives."
Liu Chu stared at the cook again, wanting to see if his feelings would change, and to his disappointment, the cook was still fine.
"You don't know, Mr. Caotou, we mountain people are born with a hard life, and the mountains block the connection between the village and the outside world. Some people can't leave the mountains for a lifetime. Those so-called neighboring villages are actually separated by several mountains. We'll never get in touch with each other if it's a big deal."
The old woman on the side sighed and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand covered with age spots. Mountain people like her son could get in with the chef of the restaurant and suffered a lot.
The cook turned his head, "Mom, what are you talking about? Liu Chutou is here for some important business, so you can say something."
The old woman was yelled at by her son, and she pursed her lips in grievance, "Mom won't say it, don't say it."
Liu Chu raised his eyebrows.
After the old woman left, the cook smiled at Liu Chu, "I'm sorry Liu Chutou, my mother is old and likes to nagging."
"It's alright, it's like this no matter how old you are."
Liu Chu put down the bowl and said, "Since you don't know the seller, then I'll leave first."
"I came here just to find someone to help him collect the corpse. It's a pity that this dealer doesn't have any relatives or friends. Now that the skeleton is placed in the restaurant, there is no one to help him with the burial."
The cook sighed very much, "Hey, pitiful... We mountain people are destined to suffer in this life."
A dark light flashed in Liu Chu's eyes. The cook should have known that he would come to inquire after that time, so he had already figured out how to deal with him.
At first, Liu Chu's questions and the cook's answers were all reasonable, but unfortunately his attitude was too calm.
The people in the town only knew that the salesman had a few bones and a load of goods when he was found. There were no bones, and he was not in the restaurant. He had been buried in the mountains long ago.
Just now Liu Chu deliberately mentioned that the cook was sparse, revealing flaws in front of him.
The cook was not surprised or puzzled at all, which only meant that from the beginning, he knew that the skeleton was a salesman.
In this way, everything can be connected. The death of the salesman must have something to do with his friend the cook, and it is even very likely that the cook used the excuse of inviting the salesman to eat, saying that the salesman deceived the restaurant and then killed him.
Of course, these are just Liu Chu's speculations at the moment. The specific cook's role in this case needs to be further investigated.
When Liu Chu came back to the cook's house, he was already dead and died in his own house.
The cook's body was divided in two, the upper body was on the ground, and the part below the waist was missing.
Lao Feng said, "There is only one wound on the upper body of the deceased, which is on the waist. Look, Xiao Liu, the flesh around the wound is all rotten. It was not injured by a weapon."
Liu Chu pondered, "Have you been bitten?"
Lao Feng said, "Not sure yet."
He glanced around and said, "There is not a drop of blood on the floor, walls, and all the tables, chairs, and benches in this room, indicating that the blood was drained before the deceased was cut open."
Liu Chu said, "What did an acquaintance do? Take advantage of it?"
Lao Feng said, "I told you last time, don't ask me about living people."
Liu Chu frowned, "I thought the cook would do something, and specially sent someone to guard around his house, but I didn't expect an accident."
Lao Feng patted his shoulder.
