"Hello, how many are in your party?"

As soon as we entered, a waiter came up to ask us something.

Lin Zhengyi said directly, "Alone!"

"Ok!"

The waiter nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "However, there's something I need to tell you upfront. We have a lot of customers right now, and it would be a waste for you to occupy a table by yourself. So you might have to share a table with someone else. Would you be okay with that?"

He paused, then spread his hands and added, "Of course, if you don't accept, then we can't entertain you!"

The words, the tone.

Lin Zhengyi frowned slightly as he listened.

This was somewhat like forcing someone to share a table, but considering he was eating alone, it wouldn't matter if someone else shared the table, and it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't bother to argue.

"can!"

So he agreed immediately.

Upon hearing the agreement, the waiter immediately pointed to some aquariums on the side and said, "Also, sir, we take your order first here. Just tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll scoop it out for you. As for how to cook it, that's up to you. Our chef can make it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyi nodded and then scanned the aquariums up and down. He quickly selected a large lobster that looked to weigh five or six pounds, along with some abalone and a grouper, before stopping.

"That's all. Give me another plate of vegetables and a roasted meat platter, and that'll be fine!" Lin Zhengyi said.

"Yes, sir, please follow me. Let me show you to a seat!"

After the waiter took down the dishes, he led Lin Zhengyi to a table where they had sat down.

After he sat down, the waiter left.

Lin Zhengyi waited for a while.

The food never arrived.

Instead, people came to share a table with us.

a woman.

Lin Zhengyi looked at his familiar face.

I recognized the other person almost instantly.

Yang Caini.

of course!

To be more precise, the other party must be a character played by Yang Caini.

As for who it was, Lin Zhengyi couldn't tell at the moment.

After all, the other party has played quite a few roles.

Meanwhile, the other party came to eat alone this time, without any other people around for reference. He was also wearing a trench coat, trousers, and a white shirt. While the outfit made him look capable, it didn't have any obvious characteristics, so Lin Zhengyi naturally couldn't tell him apart.

but!

Lin Zhengyi quickly found out who the other party was.

"Inspector Lin!?" The woman, who looked just like Yang Caini, showed a look of surprise and delight when she saw Lin Zhengyi.

Will the other person recognize me?

That's most likely a police officer.

Therefore, Lin Zhengyi already had a general idea of ​​who the other party was.

only!

It cannot be completely determined yet.

but.

There are ways to determine this!

"Who are you!?" Lin Zhengyi asked, feigning hesitation.

“I am Chief Inspector of the Major Crimes Unit, Lu Xuanxin!” Lu Xuanxin said.

Chapter 978 The Serious Crimes Unit's Request for Help

"Oh!"

Lin Zhengyi's face showed a look of realization, and he quickly said, "I've heard of Inspector Lu before, but I've never seen him before. I didn't recognize him at first. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Lin Zhengyi never expected that the person he met while sharing a table was Lu Xuanxin, one of the female protagonists in the novel "A Martial Arts World".

but!

After recognizing the other person, Lin Zhengyi certainly couldn't say that he had seen the movie and knew the other person.

That's why he said that.

"It's ok!"

Lu Xuanxin waved his hand and said with a smile, "There are so many police officers in Hong Kong, it's impossible for Inspector Lin to know them all, right? And I'm not a well-known figure like Inspector Lin!"

After a pause, Lu Xuanxin added, "By the way, is Inspector Lin also here to eat seafood?"

Lin Zhengyi replied with a smile, "Yes, I heard that this seafood restaurant is cheap, affordable, and delicious, so I came to check it out!"

"Yes!"

Lu Xuanxin replied with a smile, "I came here because I heard that this place is cheap and delicious!"

And just as the two were talking.

Lin Zhengyi's dishes were all served.

A plate of steamed lobster, garlic abalone, steamed grouper, and a platter of roasted meats, along with a plate of green vegetables.

"Come on, Officer Lu, it's fate that we met, let's have a bite together!" Lin Zhengyi warmly invited.

To this!

Lu Xuanxin quickly waved her hand and said, "No need, I've already ordered. If I eat yours, I won't be able to finish what I ordered."

Although she knew Lin Zhengyi, they were not close.

It's just a matter of exchanging a few words when we meet for now.

In this situation, she wouldn't have the face to accept food from others.

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll try yours too."

Hear this.

Lu Xuanxin still said, "Really, there's no need!"

To this!

After Lin Zhengyi's tone became more firm, he said seriously, "Alright, Officer Lu, don't be so polite with me. Let's all eat together, it's fine!"

Hearing Lin Zhengyi's firm tone, Lu Xuanxin knew that it would be impolite to refuse any longer.

So, she reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay, that's settled then!"

"This is right!"

Lin Zhengyi said this with a smile.

Then!

Lin Zhengyi then started eating.

But after taking just one bite, Lin Zhengyi sensed something was wrong.

Something's wrong with this lobster.

The texture didn't taste like it was freshly killed; rather, it tasted like it had been dead for some time.

Of course, not the frozen kind, but the kind that has just died not long ago.

If it's flash-frozen, the taste is very different from the normal one. Even ordinary people can tell the difference if they eat a lot of seafood.

However, the difference in taste between animals that have just died and those that have just been killed is not significant.

If you don't know it very well, you basically can't tell the difference.

However, there is still a price difference between the two.

Just like in the market, the price difference between shrimp that have just died and fresh shrimp is huge.

At that moment, Lin Zhengyi finally understood why this seafood restaurant was so cheap.

only!

There's a problem right now.

Lin Zhengyi had no way of exposing them.

After all, the lobster has already been cooked.

He said he had been dead for a long time, but people said he had just been killed, and he had no evidence to prove that they had switched the bodies.

Thinking about it!

Lin Zhengyi's mind raced.

He quickly came up with a way to punish the other party.

Even if he catches them red-handed, he can't really punish them too much. Even if the relevant officials come, at most they'll just close their shop for a few days and issue a payment.

It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

but!

There is a way to make their store go bankrupt completely.

That would make the news.

As long as more people know about it, why worry about their shop not going out of business?
