The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 152: Restaurant mystery

Views:

Jian Jing originally planned to cut to the chase and ask Pudding directly. But since he took the initiative to bring up his own affairs, he didn't interrupt him and listened patiently.

Jiang Baiyan opened the restaurant's home-brewed rice wine, poured her a glass, and explained: "My mother was one of the chairman's mistresses. She died not only ten years ago. After she died, the chairman called someone They took me home, but I ran away after a few years in the Jiang family and never came back. They probably thought I was ungrateful and ungrateful, so they were very unhappy."

Jian Jing admired him for telling such a tragic story so calmly.

"You call your father Chairman?"

He made a face: "When he is alone, I will call him father, but if I call him in front of Jiang Ou, he will beat me - I don't blame him, our birthdays are only one month apart, the director When he had an affair, his mother was pregnant."

Jian Jing shook her head: "When adults do evil, children must bear it."

"Bloodline is the original sin." Jiang Baiyan comforted her instead, "Look on the bright side, if they are so rich, they won't ask me for money. The chairman is arrogant, and he won't sue me for alimony. At most, he will be punished. A few words of swearing are worth a lot of meat.”

He raised his eyebrows and told her seriously: "I don't care about them anymore."

Doesn't care if they like him or not.

Doesn't care if they approve of him.

Don't care... I have stopped caring for a long time.

Jian Jing was silent for a while, then asked softly: "When you said run away, did you mean to go make a movie?"

"That was when I was 16 years old." Jiang Baiyan said, "I was only 13 years old when I ran away."

She asked: "You are so young that no one wants you even if you are a child laborer."

"It's not that miserable. I went to join my grandpa." Jiang Baiyan said, "He thinks my mother is embarrassed and won't allow her to go home. But he treats me pretty well, much better than the Jiang family."

He didn't seem to care about the past at all, and was very interested in talking: "No, I didn't expect Jiang Ou to talk to Coco, and I don't know if he is serious. Coco is very powerful, she... you know who her last boyfriend was. ?"

"Who?" No one doesn't like to eat melon, and so does Jian Jing.

Jiang Baiyan moved his buttocks and got closer to her ear: "Hour Rui, the Hou Rui who is very popular now."

Faces appeared on the home page every now and then. Jian Jing looked familiar even though she didn't recognize them: "Ah, is it true?"

"I saw them kissing each other." There was no one in the room, but Jiang Baiyan acted like a secret agent, "When Hou Rui becomes popular, he will get points."

Jian Jing: "Tsk."

"Also, Han Bo and Zheng Keyan are together." He gossiped happily, "Just before we returned to China, they fell asleep that night."

Jian Jing was shocked: "So fast!"

"Both of them are single, so there is nothing to worry about." Jiang Baiyan didn't care, "Zheng Keyan often does this kind of thing, there are more than one or two."

Gurgling, the steam pot chicken is steaming with white steam.

Jian Jing filled the wine glass and said with emotion: "Female celebrities have such a fulfilling life."

Jiang Baiyan tried hard to resist the urge to encourage her. He lowered his head and drank. After gossiping for a long time, he was thirsty. After taking a short rest, he continued his efforts and was about to find another friend to sell it to, when a scream suddenly came from outside the door.

Okay, no more fun.

Jiang Baiyan swallowed back the shocking news and was not surprised to see Jian Jing getting up: "I'm going to see you."

"I'll go too." He actively participated.

The two people walked out of the box and looked in the direction of the scream, which was the bathroom.

Jian Jing trotted over: "What happened..." The words stopped abruptly when she walked into the men's room. There was no need to ask anymore.

Someone died.

The face of the deceased was covered in bruises and swelling, and it was an extremely horrible purple color. The tip of his tongue was slightly exposed, like an evil ghost. There is a less obvious groove on the neck, which is basically a horizontal ring.

No specialized forensic knowledge is required, just common sense can be used to determine that the person was strangled.

[System: New task has been released]

[Task name: Restaurant‌Death Code]

[Task description: A murder occurred in a delicious restaurant. The deceased turned out to be a popular actor? ! Bizarre death messages, intricate relationships, who is the real murderer? ]

[Task rewards and punishments: 20 points of bravery will be awarded for success, and no punishment for failure]

"What happened?" The restaurant owner hurried over.

Jian Jing stretched out her hand to stop him: "Call the police, someone is dead."

Restaurant owner: "What?!" The voice almost penetrated the ceiling.

However, if there is no egg, the murder must be reported to the police.

This time, luck was good, and two auxiliary police officers soon arrived to maintain order.

Everyone present, whether willing or not, must register their personal identity information and conduct a preliminary screening of whether there are any suspicious elements at the scene. Ji Feng once said that this trick is very simple but very practical. He has found fugitives and wanted criminals at crime scenes more than once, and he has happily contributed to the performance of the police.

Ahem, let’s get down to business.

There is no doubt that after the identity was found out, Jian Jing was caught as a prostitute again.

Under the watchful eyes of the two auxiliary police ladies, she skillfully took out a full set of equipment, put it on and entered the scene.

Auxiliary Police A: "Teacher Jian, I have taken the photos. You should be careful and try not to damage the scene."

Jian Jing: "Don't worry, I'm a skilled worker."

Auxiliary Police Officer B: "You are so powerful, so all the cases in "Devil Doctor" have real prototypes?"

Jian Jing: "That's right."

a&b Starry Eyes: "When will Demon 3 be published? Will you consider today's case?"

Jian Jing: "If this case is written about, would you like to make a guest appearance?"

a&b: "Yeah!"

Two fan teammates get√

With the carrot showing your face, working overtime is not so shameful. They had a positive attitude. A stayed to accompany Jian Jing to investigate the scene, and B went to the boss to ask for monitoring of the restaurant.

Jian Jing first observed the layout of the restaurant.

This is a private restaurant that does not accept walk-in customers. It only accepts eight tables a day, four at noon and four at night. It is not known whether it can make money, but the quality is quite high.

Because the number of tables is fixed, there are only four rooms in total, with the following layout:

Terrace... Bathroom...

Box 1... Box 2

Box 3... Box 4

... ..kitchen... ..

Employee..Work..District..Domain

The staff use the toilets in the kitchen, which are separate from the toilets used by customers.

There is a camera installed in the corridor that can capture the scenes of each box entering and exiting the room. However, due to the angle, it was impossible to take a picture of the guests leaving the box and going to the terrace or the bathroom.

The bathroom is divided into three parts, the outer washing area and dressing area, the women's toilet, and the men's toilet. Both toilets have only one smart toilet and no pit or urinal.

The toilet room is small, well decorated, comfortable, bright and very clean.

But on the toilet in the men's room, today's deceased was sitting slumped.

Male, in his twenties, his clothes are from luxury brands and his sneakers are limited edition. He smells strongly of alcohol and faint of cigarettes. Based on the condition of rigor mortis and cornea, the time of death was judged to be 30-60 minutes ago.

It's 9:40pm now.

In other words, the time of death was between 8:40 and 9:10.

The neck of the deceased had a thin groove, but no pattern was printed on it, and the collar had some abnormal wrinkles. She turned it over and looked carefully with a magnifying glass, and sure enough she found some wear and tear on the surface.

This means that when killing the deceased, the murderer used the shirt collar as a pad to prevent the blackmail lines from being imprinted on the skin.

There is a knot mark on the back of the neck, which is more obvious, but it is still impossible to determine the murder weapon.

There was blood on the left hand of the deceased, and there were wounds on his back and heart.

Jian Jing squatted down and checked around, and finally found that the bottom edge of the stainless steel storage rack where toilet paper was placed was rolled up, cutting him.

However, considering that the shelf was right-handed, on the right side, the deceased was injured on his left side.

Was he killed with his back to the door, and then helped to sit on the toilet after his death

The height seems wrong.

She made some gestures. If his left hand was injured during the struggle, the deceased should have been sitting on the toilet or half-kneeling on the ground.

Why is this gesture so subtle... Hey, there's blood on your fingers too? Jian Jing shook off the discord in her mind and lifted the body of the deceased.

The index finger of his left hand was stained with blood, and there were traces of wiping it.

Is this... a death message

She squatted down and found the prompt left by the deceased at the bottom of the control panel.

An unclosed circle, like the letter c or g. Of course, it may also be the unfinished letter o, the number 0, or the shape ○.

What's the meaning? Referring to who

She was confused.

At this time, Auxiliary Police Officer B informed: "The surveillance has been called out. It's very difficult. I suggest asking everyone for a confession first." As she spoke, her eyes fell on the face of the deceased, and a sigh appeared in her eyes, " Alas, I didn’t expect Hou Rui to die like this. It’s such a pity. My friend liked him very much.”

Jian Jing turned her head, thought for two seconds, and remembered the name and face.

Hou Mou, isn't he just a popular male star who has just been gossiped about? Sure enough, the name is too hard to remember, so let’s call him the deceased.

"Which box did the deceased belong to?"

"number 2."

"Then let's ask his companions first."

Hou Xianrou has two companions, namely his female agent and male assistant.

The female agent was anxious and worried: "How could such a thing happen? How could Hou Rui be killed? We are in big trouble!"

Jian Jing said: "Calm down, let's find the murderer together."

"Are you... Jian Jing? The writer who participated in the haunted house show? Why was it you who investigated the case?" The female agent recognized her identity and her face was full of doubts.

good question.

Jian Jing thought for three seconds and made it up without changing her face: "Because I am a consultant to the police."

The female agent was stunned for a moment, then believed: "Okay, whatever you want."

So smooth? Jian Jing was speechless for a moment and immediately seized the opportunity: "Why are you here today?"

"Come for a meal after work." The female agent said, "There is no special reason."

Jian Jing asked: "Who suggested coming here?"

The female agent said: "Hour Rui requested it himself. He likes the environment of this store."

Jian Jing nodded, looking at her earrings intentionally or unintentionally. The female agent is wearing Gucci's double G earrings, which is undoubtedly in line with the hint of death.

"How is the deceased doing recently? Is his career going well?" She inquired in detail, "Is there anything unpleasant in life? Did he make any enmity with anyone?"

The female agent said categorically: "Our Hou Rui is very good, there is no problem, the schedule is very full, and there are several TV series to be filmed in the second half of the year."

Jian Jing said: "I am not a fan or the media. I just want to find the murderer. Ms. Agent, what you do is not helpful in finding the murderer."

The female agent paused, looking uncomfortable, and then said after a while: "I'm not lying, Hou Rui's announcement was full, but today's photo shoot was not very smooth - the magazine temporarily changed our layout, which made it quite unpleasant. . I usually don’t let him drink more, but I didn’t stop him today.”

She explained: "It's better to drink here than to go to the bar later and mess around."

Jian Jing asked: "How drunk was he?"

"I'm a little drunk, but I can still recognize someone." the male assistant replied.

Jian Jing glanced at the wine bottle on the table. A bottle and a half of red wine was empty, and she drank a lot.

She thought for a moment and said: "You guys came here at 6:50. Please briefly describe what happened during the meal."
