Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 37 Rice Balls (3)

  Ji Caimai glanced at him sideways, and said: "Those dirty villains can't get rid of these two people. Unless Lin Shaoqing is called to show his power..."

Hearing Ji Caimai's "Exhibition of God's Power", Liu Yuan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth: "Our Lin Shaoqing's God's power is indeed powerful, but it's too powerful! Last year, the only public chefs who showed their power were Sun Dingren and Wang Junshan. Shit, everyone has been eating pig chaff for half a year now!"

Ji Caimai clicked his tongue, recalling the taste in his mouth, and said: "It's not Lin Shaoqing's fault, who knows that there is a murderer who has been on the run for many years in our Dali Temple. The innocent two chefs were brought together as accomplices..."

That wave of great show of power not only directly served the decent dishes in the public kitchen, but also drove away several new chefs in the aftermath, so much so that they were called the public chefs of Dali Temple on the "list" ", and has since become famous in the first battle.

  Thinking of that aftermath, the two still have lingering fears until now. Liu Yuan thought about it, but was still defeated, and said: "Forget it! If there is another wave, it will be bad if you hurt Master Wen. At least there is still a court food to eat right now!"

  Ji Caimai nodded, and said: "I will pay close attention to those two guys, Sun Dingren and Wang Junshan, and if I find any serious mistakes, I will send them away immediately!"

  Liu Yuan nodded when he heard this, and left satisfied.

When he went to look for Lin Fei with the file of the "Water Ghost" case, Liu Yuan saw a carved bamboo tube on the corner of Lin Fei's table at a glance. A few golden sweet-scented osmanthus flowers seem to make the mouth and tongue produce body fluid inexplicably.

  Liu Yuan didn't remember until this time the package of sour plum drinks that Wen Mingtang gave as a thank you gift. He thought it was troublesome, so he gave all of them to Shangfeng.

  Thinking to this point, Liu Yuan's face twisted into a ball when he recalled yesterday's bowl of blackened sour plum drink like soup medicine: He regrets it now, maybe ask Shangfeng to ask for it back?

  Of course, this is just a thought, and before he could tell Shangfeng that the new cook is the little lady they helped at Zhaoji Restaurant last time, Lin Fei asked about something serious.

   "From the people around Li Yuan, can we find clues?"

  Liu Yuan quickly shook his head, got rid of those messy thoughts, and talked about the business: "Some discoveries."

  Li Yuan's background, on weekdays, he was the only one who bullied others, and no one bullied him. After thinking about it, only the incident of being abducted and trafficked at a young age may have suffered some hardships.

"He was not the only one who was kidnapped and trafficked back then. There were also many children of average size who were trafficked together. After being rescued, except for Shuangxi who stayed by his side, the other rescued children were all wiped out by the Prince's Mansion of Pingxi County. I went to their intersection with Li Yuan." Liu Yuan sighed at this point, "After all, the abduction and trafficking of the little county king cannot be made public."

"Shuangxi is an orphan whose parents died, so it's fine to stay with him. Those children were sent back, and money was spent, and their parents were ordered to restrain those children and not to speak out about what happened back then." Liu Yuan Said, "In addition to Shuangxi, two of these children are also from Chang'an City. The Prince's Mansion of Pingxi County has been staring at those two families for these years, and those two families are also very interested. This matter is completely rotten in the stomach. There was an intersection with Li Yuan."

   There has been no intersection for many years, and it seems that it has nothing to do with this matter.

"But I went to check the two children back then, and found something unexpected," Liu Yuan said, "Do you still remember the people's sacrifice to the river **** that the lower official said? The water was entangled by water plants. The gift-giver who lost his feet was one of those two children back then."

  Lin Fei looked up at him: "Is there another one?"

   Liu Yuandao: "...dead."

  Lin Fei asked: "How did you die?"

  Liu Yuan was about to speak when Lin Fei frowned suddenly and said, "The one who gave the gift was a man? What about the one who died?"

  Liu Yuan has said so much, but until now he has not mentioned whether the two children are boys or girls.

Hearing Lin Fei's sudden question about men and women, his mind was agitated, as if something flashed through his mind, although he hadn't fully grasped the clues that flashed in his mind, he still instinctively said: "The gift is given by a man like the little county king. The one who died was a woman. If she hadn't died, she would be two years older than Li Yuan and Shuangxi, and she would be seventeen this year. But two years ago, when she was Jiji, she died."

  Lin Fei said: "How did you die?"

  Liu Yuan's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the file of the "Water Ghost" case in his hand: "...I haven't had time to investigate it yet."

  Lin Fei took a look at him, and Liu Yuan hurriedly said, "I'll go and investigate right now, sir!"

  With the direction Lin Fei mentioned, it was much easier to check, so Liu Yuan went straight to the Weishui River.

  Running for a whole day, and returning to Dali Temple at dusk, Liu Yuan went straight to the room where Lin Fei worked.

  Lin Fei glanced at the sweaty Liu Yuan running away, handed over a bowl of sour plum drink that was as dark as a soup, and said, "It's from the public chef. Quench your thirst first, and then talk about the case."

   Liu Yuan looked at Lin Fei who was holding the carved bamboo tube and squeezed out a dry smile, and said: "...I am not thirsty, let's talk about the case first!"

  Lin Shaoqing's kindness is unnecessary! It would be better if you gave him the sour plum drink boiled in Master Wen's sour plum drink.

  Calm down, Liu Yuan said: "The lower officials have found out that the girl drowned."

  Lin Fei raised his eyes: "How is the dead woman's water quality?"

Liu Yuandao: "I often sell small things on these boats by the Weishui River with a basket on my shoulders. There are peaches, plums, apricots and other fruits grown at home, and some seasonal things are also sold during festivals. When the accident happened, she boarded the boat with a basket of zongzi Selling, I heard that when I crossed the boat at night, my feet were empty, and I fell into the river with the basket of zongzi and drowned..."

  Before he finished speaking, he got a wink from Lin Fei.

  Liu Yuan looked agitated, and hurriedly said: "I heard it. Of course, the lower officials don't believe it."

  Once in a while carrying a basket and selling things on the riverside boats, how many of them are poor in water quality? It's just that the basket of zongzi in his hand is a bit heavy, but the zongzi straddles his arms, and it's not a stone wrapped around his body. As soon as the hands were loosened, they separated. How could it be so easy to drown a girl with good water skills in the river?

   "Is this case handled by the Governor of Chang'an?" Lin Fei couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "I haven't seen this case in Dali Temple before."

  Liu Yuan: "..."

   It was just an ordinary little lady who died. She was not involved in any serious serial crimes or powerful officials were the murderers. How could she report to Dali Temple?

  However, if this case is to be blamed on the head of Chang'an Fu Yin, he really has been wronged.

  Looking at Lin Fei, he explained: "He didn't answer either. The case was never reported to the police."

  After hearing this sentence, Lin Fei frowned even tighter: "Why didn't the case of a dead person be reported to the police? Such an unreasonable thing, just let his family forget it?"

  Hearing this, Liu Yuan's face was subtle, he paused, and then said: "I also feel that something is wrong. After inquiring for a long time, I only found out something from a neighbor with a bad mouth."

  Liu Yuan said: "The little lady was disheveled when she was found."
