female catcher

Chapter 85

Shunshui Building is located in an alley on the northeast side of Yongpingfang, not facing the main street, but not too far away.Xia Chu and Su Zhen walked towards Shunshui Building, and as soon as they turned into the alley, she sniffled and frowned, "What's the smell?"

Su Zhen also slightly covered his nose, "It's kind of weird."

The guy from Shunshui Building rushed out of the store, stretched out his hand to meet the two of them, and said with a wry smile: "Please come in, gentlemen, this smell is not from our store. Don't worry, both of you, our ingredients are guaranteed to be fresh and clean. "

Xia Chu looked at Su Zhen questioningly, and Su Zhen made a gesture, which meant that he was free.Xia Chu hesitated for a moment, but walked in.

She was hungry and couldn't take it anymore.

Entering Shunshui Building, the strange smell was not so obvious, Xia Chu asked the guy: "Your family's Xijing Bawan is famous, why don't you change it to a better one?"

The waiter replied: "Our shopkeeper is afraid that the appearance will be too big, and he will be too busy when there are too many customers. He is not at ease when the dishes are handed over to others. He is afraid that the taste will be lost, and in the end he will smash his own signboard."

Xia Chu nodded, "It makes sense, your shopkeeper is really the conscience of the industry. It's just that the environment in this alley is a bit bad!"

"Hey, you also know that the Guangji Hall next to it is a medicine shop. Last time I saw them pull a carriage over. The snakes, rats, rats, and ants are deadly! It's not such a big smell. I don't know how to enter it these days What medicine. It will be fine in a few days."

There was no elegant room in Shunshui Building, so Xia Chu and Su Zhen found a place far from the door and sat down.The tables and stools in the building seem to be old, brown and black, with a greasy luster like pulp, and a unique smell of aged vegetable oil in restaurants.

Su Zhen picked up the tea cup that the waiter gave him, looked at it silently, and put it down again.Xia Chu smiled, put the tea bowl in front of him, poured some hot tea in, carefully turned the tea cup to scald the cup wall, then poured it on the ground, poured it again and handed it to Su Zhen.

Su Zhen coughed in embarrassment, picked up his teacup and dipped his lips with tea, "Aren't you busy recently?"

"Well, recently there are cases of theft, blackmail, and bullying. Although it is also a crime, but no one is killed, I will feel better in my mood and not so depressed."

"I heard that Master Fang Jian has resigned." Su Zhen said.The so-called listening and hearing are of course words, and Fang Jianzuo's request to resign and return to his hometown was personally approved by him.

Xia Chu was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and turned the teacup on the table, "I don't know about that. But Fang Ruolan was sentenced to hang, so he can keep a whole body. How should I put it, the so-called whole body is just psychological comfort That's all. Now Fang Ruolan is dead, Mr. Fang has resigned, and I don't know what happened to Fang Yi. This family..."

"It's embarrassing." Su Zhen said.

Xia Chu nodded, "Although the case has been solved, I'm actually not happy at all. Fang Ruolan deserved what he deserved, but he is also a poor person. I used to think that murderers are heinous, and no matter how powerful the reason is, they can't justify depriving others of their lives." behavior. However, from Ma Qingquan to Fang Ruolan, it seems that they are all sympathetic."

"Everyone has their own difficulties in life. If we look deeper, maybe no one is a complete bad person." Su Zhen touched his palm subconsciously.

He hasn't had blood on his hands yet, even after going through a life-and-death struggle for the throne.

But didn't the queen mother die because of herself?Didn't Su Yi die because of himself?There are also those pawns, hidden guards, and even Li Erping who he doesn't even know their names, and they can't say that they have nothing to do with him.

This was before, as for the future, how could he not take a few lives while sitting on that dragon chair?

"No one is a completely good person." Su Zhen smiled wryly, and said again.

"Everyone has a good side and a bad side." Xia Chu said: "From my point of view, the so-called good people and bad people should be based on the law, and the law is the last word. What did you just say, Mr. Huang? , it is based on morality. At the legal level, those who violate the law are bad people, and the moral level is much softer and broader, so there is that kind of dialectical view."

Su Zhen listened carefully, but after listening, he asked, "What is a dialectical view?"

Xia Chu tapped his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I read a poem before: The moon is far away from the mountain, and the moon is small, so I said this mountain is bigger than the moon. If a person has eyes as big as the sky, he can see that the moon is wider than the mountain." Mr. Huang can understand, big or small, good or bad, are all a matter of position. From a dialectical point of view, it should be...a more comprehensive look at the problem, not just from your own position."

Su Zhen nodded, he understood the meaning, but there was no word to sum it up before.He thought for a while and asked again: "But you are a headhunter, if your position changes, will it affect your judgment?"

"It is my duty to catch criminals with the law. This position cannot be changed and is the only one. Outside of my duty, my position is just my personal emotion. If it is more professional, it should not affect each other. Just like a doctor His job is to save people, and he can't stand by just because he doesn't like this person. Right?"

"That's the truth."

Xia Chu smiled a little embarrassedly, "This is what I have been pondering over the past two days, and I am also afraid that my emotions will affect my professional beliefs."

While talking, the waiter came over with a dish in one hand, with a few porcelain bowls stacked on it, and put them neatly on the table, and said loudly while putting them on: "Smoked fish with tiles, braised chicken in yellow, crispy pork in marinade , red stewed three delicacies, sweet shrimp tofu eggs, stir-fried Yingge vegetables, red bean eight-treasure rice, mutton bone soup. Take it easy, please greet if you have anything to do."

Although the size of the bowls is not big, eight bowls are enough to set a table. The colors of red, yellow, green, white and black are very rich. There are meat and vegetables in the eight bowls, and the meat is not repeated.It is not exquisite, but it is also quite thoughtful, worthy of a famous dish in Xijing.

Xia Chu picked up the chopsticks and nodded slightly at Su Zhen, "Thank you banquet, Mr. Huang, don't be too rough."

Before Su Zhen could speak, the guy went back and forth, and put a small jug of wine on the table.Xia Chu blinked, "Is it wrong? We didn't order wine."

"Sent by the shopkeeper." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Isn't there a strange smell in the alley these two days? , so they all send pots of wine."

"Your shopkeeper really knows how to do business."

"Doesn't it all have to point to you for the business of opening the door. You two take it easy."

Xia Chu poured some into the wine cup with great interest, took a sip and stuck out his tongue, "It's a bit spicy."

Su Zhen also poured a little, then nodded, "It's a bit spicy."

"Spicy as long as it's spicy." Xia Chu simply poured some more and held it up, "I won't replace wine with tea. Mr. Huang, thank you formally, and more importantly, say formally: very it's happy to meet you."

Su Zhen also raised the wine cup, "Thank you, no need, but the phrase 'Nice to meet you'..."

"how?"

"I'm also very happy. Very happy." After finishing speaking, Su Zhen drank the wine in one gulp.

Xia Chu also drank the wine. After drinking it, he felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of fire, burning all the way from his throat to his stomach, so he quickly grabbed a mouthful of vegetables to eat.Su Zhen endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help but opened his mouth and exhaled.

The place Jiang Xiyuan recommended was really good, Su Zhen and Xia Chu were very pleasantly surprised by the food, they said this one was good, and that one was better.The food was accompanied by strong wine, and at the end of the meal, both of them had flushed cheeks and sweat on their foreheads, very happy.

"Hehe..." Xia Chu put down his chopsticks and rubbed his stomach, "I remember that once I saw a corpse, I didn't eat for two days, and after I recovered, I ate a big meal. That's how it lasts."

"A corpse is just a person who can't breathe." Su Zhen narrowed his eyes and slowly drank the cold tea.

Xia Chu stretched out a finger in front of him, shook his head and said, "No. Do you know what is called Giant View?"

"What is the view of giants?"

"The corruption of the corpse spread to the whole body, and it swelled into a giant, as if it would explode at any time." Xia Chu opened his hands and stretched out, "The eyes protruded, the tongue protruded, and the skin was that kind of dirty green... ..."

"Hey! I told you to keep your voice down! Let no one eat!" A fat man in a green gown next to him slapped his chopsticks on the table and shouted angrily.

Xia Chu apologized with a smile, then covered his mouth and smiled, leaned forward, lowered his voice and said, "Can you imagine? It's not just people who can't breathe."

Su Zhen also leaned over, glanced sideways at the fat man at the table next to him, nodded slightly, and whispered, "I can probably imagine a little bit."

Xia Chu followed his gaze, then burst out laughing, quickly covered his mouth, and shrugged his shoulders.The two were only three inches apart, Su Zhen smelled the clean saponin scent on her body, mixed with a faint smell of wine, and looked up at her flushed cheeks, suddenly wanted to take a bite.

Xia Chu gradually held back his laughter, turned his head to meet Su Zhen's gaze, his heart seemed to be grabbed by someone quickly, his soreness swelled up, and he stopped for a while.

After a moment of daze, Xia Chu said timidly, "I... seem to have drunk too much."

"I seem to be too."

The two of them sat down on the stools, each remained silent, and each began to speculate on the thoughts that they didn't quite understand.

After paying the bill and coming out of Shunshui Building, Xia Chu felt a little weak under his feet, stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then yelled again, "Hey, this taste is really bad."

The guy who sent it out smiled wryly, "Guest officer, don't say that at the door, those who don't know think you are talking about the taste of the food."

Xia Chu laughed loudly, turned around and patted the guy on the shoulder, and said loudly, "The food tastes great! Great!"

"Thank you very much." The man moved his shoulders quietly, before the movement was finished, Su Zhen followed Xia Chu's example and patted him, "Very good!"

The clerk rubbed his shoulders as he watched Xia Chu and Su Zhen walk out of the alley, and said to himself: "Such a delicate and elegant person, how can he have such strong hands..."
