However, when Ling Mengxue saw the environment in front of the store, she couldn't help but squint.
This environment made her feel inexplicably familiar.
It seems that in the photos and information that Ye Yiren provided her before, this place is one of the crime scenes? ?
"Let's go, brother. It's the store in front. I came here last time and it tasted very good."
"Sister Zheng, don't you think this place is a bit weird? It's so remote, and this is the only store open on the entire street..." Ling Mengxue's god-level acting skills were activated. She spoke with a worried look on her face, but in fact she was very calm. She glanced at the latter's expression without making any expression.
Zheng Yalan seemed not to have heard her words. She just walked over first and said with a smile, "Come on, I have reserved a seat in advance, and all the signature dishes are ready."
"..."
It rains in Tokyo, soaking Paris——????∮
"Sorry, Sister Zheng, I have to take a call first and will be there soon." Ling Mengxue took out her cell phone naturally.
Zheng Lanya didn't say anything when she saw this. She just nodded and went into the restaurant first. The interior was decorated with high-end glass background walls, so even when sitting at the table, one could clearly see the situation outside.
Walking under the street light, in order to avoid exposing herself, Ling Mengxue made the call with her back to the restaurant.
"Hey, Sister Yiren, did you find anything? I'm eating at the restaurant with our tavern owner, and I think she has a serious problem."
On the other end of the phone, Ye Yiren pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Feng, I have found out what you asked me to investigate. There is only a 'cookbook' in the black metal box. I even secretly flipped through it. It only records some ordinary home-cooked dishes. But according to what you said before, I secretly used small props to pry open Director Zhang's private safe and found that she actually has a criminal record of selling guns, and she has secretly hidden a lot of documents related to the 'murderer' incident. It seems that she is researching something?"
"Well, apart from this, have you found any other colleagues among you...uh...that are not right?" Ling Mengxue thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"No, except for those two players, everyone else is pretty normal~"
Ye Yiren didn't hesitate and spoke frankly: "It's just that the great detective...seemed to have been stimulated by something this morning. He returned to the bureau, took his things and ran away. He seemed to be very scared and didn't participate in the mission. Of course, there is good news. Someone just brought back surveillance clues about the delivery girl, providing her with an alibi. The wanted order has been temporarily revoked, but she still needs to be brought back for investigation."
"Row."
Ling Mengxue didn't know what was going on, but it would be a lot more convenient without a troublesome guy.
As for monitoring, if Xia Keke had some recovery items, it would not be difficult to repair it even if the hard drive was damaged.
I was in such a hurry before that I forgot about this thing?
As expected, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry…
Soon, another voice came from Ye Yiren's side: "Let's do this for now. Taking advantage of the free time tonight, I plan to chase that 'Zhang Ju' again. She just left with the 'cookbook'. If she said she was going out to learn how to cook in the middle of the night, I would never believe it even if you kill me!"
"..."
beep--
As soon as Ye Yiren finished speaking, the call was hung up instantly.
Ling Mengxue stared at the screen of her mobile phone, turned off the display after a few seconds, and quickly returned to the restaurant.
At this time, Zheng Yalan had already sat in a window seat waiting for her. Next to her was a male waiter in a short skirt, diligently pouring tea and water for her. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of corruption of money.
Ling Mengxue only had this feeling towards the woman in front of her.
The restaurant's decoration style is comfortable and pleasant. The chopsticks, soup spoons, knives, forks and other tableware are basically the same as those in their world, and the texture looks very high-end.
When the two waiters saw Ling Mengxue, they couldn't help but look at her with envy.
On this street, who doesn't know that Zheng Yalan is the owner of the "White Night Tavern"?
If they were noticed by such a "big boss", they would wake up laughing in their dreams, okay?

It's almost there☆☆☆
Chapter 161: Hurting each other, extreme chess!
Happy Town is neither big nor small. If famous wealthy people or businessmen do something, it will usually be published in the town's daily newspaper, so it is not surprising that they are famous.
"Brother Xiluo, I don't know what you like to eat. I have listed all the dishes on the menu. I hope there is something that suits your taste."
Zheng Yalan smiled, leaned back in her chair, raised her knife and fork, and began to cut into the steak.
She took a bite and found the steak melt-in-the-mouth, tender and juicy, with an extremely delicious taste.
The steak is sprinkled with black pepper and ground salt, served with pasta, drizzled with sauce, and finally decorated with a few green broccoli and fried eggs. The whole dish looks extremely delicate and exudes a subtle and tempting aroma.
Ling Mengxue was silent for a moment, then sat down opposite her and picked up a pair of chopsticks, but she felt a little nervous and hesitant.
I didn't notice it just now, so the food shouldn't be poisoned, right?
According to the normal plot, would there be drugs or something like that in it?
At this moment, Zheng Yalan looked up and found that her appetite was not very good. She looked a little uninterested. She found it interesting and said jokingly, "Brother, eat it. Why don't you eat it? This steak is very precious. Are you worried that I will poison it?"
"..."
Ling Mengxue didn't say anything. The next moment, she cut a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth to chew gently, but she complained in her heart: "Yeah, I'm just worried that you, a bad woman, will do something secretly..."
She had no appetite, so after eating a few bites of food, she got up and found an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Her sixth sense told her that there was a strong smell of conspiracy here. On the surface, this was just a dinner party hosted by the boss for his employees, but given Zheng Yalan's personality, it was obviously unlikely that she would really do nothing.
Just now in the car, although the darkness prevented Ling Mengxue from using her "spatial perspective", she still found the outlines of many dangerous goods in the trunk.
There are not only knives, but also a long-barreled firearm similar to a 'rifle'!
After washing her face in the bathroom, Ling Mengxue was about to go back, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks as if she had noticed something.
In the dim light of the restaurant, Zheng Yalan had a blank expression on her face and her look was extremely cold.
While waiting, she dismissed the two waiters beside her, and a smile gradually appeared on the corners of her mouth, which was chilling.
Ling Mengxue was sticking to the wall, her beautiful face was covered with mist and no emotion could be seen. She was using her spatial vision to observe.
Although it consumes some "star energy", she will maintain this skill in normal state so as to deal with it at critical moments. The disadvantage is probably that it is more powerless in crowded places, with limited energy, and it is impossible to pay attention to everyone's actions at all times.
At the table, Zheng Yalan quietly took out an unknown potion from her body and dripped a few drops into the cup. It was a colorless and odorless liquid, almost the same as water.
Don't ask Ling Mengxue why that thing is colorless and tasteless, that's how it's played in TV dramas anyway...
The liquid instantly blended into the juice, leaving no trace at all.
There is no label on the bottle of medicine, so you can be sure that the contents are not legitimate!
After secretly doing all this, Zheng Yalan pretended as if nothing had happened, put the things away, and gently shook the light rose-colored liquid in the tall glass.
This bottle of "Feng Jie You Lan" * potion was mixed by her herself. Just one drop would quickly make a boy lose his mind and let himself be manipulated by a woman, or even actively cooperate with her. It was an absolute must-have magic weapon for picking up men.
When she saw Ling Mengxue coming out, she lifted her hair and showed her usual smile on her face: "Brother Xiyao, are you still studying? Do you have a girlfriend? To be honest, I like you very much."
"No, the school does not allow students to fall in love too early, otherwise we would have started 'raising fish' a long time ago." Ling Mengxue sat down pretending nothing had happened, but also quite numb.
She never thought that one day she would say such disgusting words, but it was still nice to think that she could disgust the person in front of her.
Sure enough, when Zheng Yalan heard what she said, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, and her expression was as if she had eaten shit.
She really couldn't believe that such an innocent and lovely little boy would say such words. It really overturned her worldview and shocked her senses.
Although she was surprised, she still managed a smile: "I didn't expect my brother to be so humorous that he would even joke with his sister."
"I'm not joking, sister. I'm just being open-minded. I just like 'raising fish'." Ling Mengxue said nonchalantly.
Her god-level acting skills were brought to the fore. She looked calm on the outside, but she almost burst out laughing inside.
I just want to make this woman sick to death. I want to see how long she can endure it.
In their world, this woman would probably be seen as a gentle beast, so damn cunning and treacherous.
Zheng Yalan was choked by the mouthful of food and almost couldn't laugh. She laughed dryly twice and said, "Brother, you must be thirsty after talking so much. How about drinking some juice first?"
OK, she lives in Bengbu!
She started to get anxious!!
"Sister, you must be thirsty too, right? How about drinking some juice? Drinking frequently is bad for your health. To be honest, I don't like women who drink and smoke." Ling Mengxue wanted to laugh for some reason, but forced herself to hold it back.
If she couldn't hold back her laughter, her character would probably have collapsed.
As she spoke, she secretly put her hand into her left pocket, took out a notebook, and threw it on the ground silently.
Zheng Yalan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ling Mengxue was giving her a chance. She suddenly became excited and took another cup and poured juice into it. She smiled and said, "That's right. Actually, I don't like drinking either. I just thought about having dinner with my brother Xiluo tonight. I was in a good mood, so I drank a little."
"So this is what it is like? It seems that Sister Zheng has good taste." Ling Mengxue smiled calmly.
The bar owner doesn’t like drinking?
What about the liar?
It seems like there is only one table in your office?
After that, she naturally picked up the cup and pretended to take a sip: "Sister Zheng, I think I dropped something on the ground over there, can you help me get it?"
"Hmm? Let me see, it's just a small matter."
Noticing the notebook at her feet, Zheng Yalan bent down to pick it up subconsciously without thinking much.
Seeing this, Ling Mengxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and secretly used "Space Replacement". In the blink of an eye, the juices of the two people were swapped and the ones in her mouth were also dealt with.
The woman only poured about half a cup, which was about the same as the rest of her drink, so there was basically no problem.
After Zheng Yalan got the thing, she drank it without any awareness. She couldn't help but flipping through the notebook and took a look. She found that it was full of records about the "murderer" incident in Happy Town. Her eyes flickered slightly.
"I didn't expect that Brother Xiluo would also be interested in these things."

Sorry, I'm late, I made an extended one~☆
Chapter 162: Clear Mirror and Still Water
Ling Mengxue observed her expression, leaned forward slightly, took the notebook back, and said naturally: "Well, because of this incident, I don't dare to go out at night. I can only spend more money to order takeout, which is quite inconvenient."
"Indeed, so, little detective, have you found any useful information?" Zheng Yalan said with a smile.
"I have found out a little bit, but I'm not sure yet. I feel like that 'murderer' is very close to me recently. I suspect she wants to kill people to silence them."
"Why would you think that? Did the 'delivery man' target you?"
"Eh? Sister Zheng, do you also know that the other party is a 'delivery man'?" Ling Mengxue looked "curious".
"Yes, hasn't the official announced it? The 'delivery man' is the murderer. Unfortunately, another notice came out not long ago that the murderer mysteriously escaped from prison. I don't know how long this life of fear will last." Zheng Yalan nodded slightly and said with a slight sigh.
Ling Mengxue narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to find some flaws in it, and said with a melancholy look: "No, that delivery girl is a good person. She was arrested that night because of the takeaway I ordered."
As soon as she said this, Zheng Yalan's body trembled slightly. She slowly put down her fork and stared at Ling Mengxue with a serious expression: "How did you know that she wasn't a killer? Maybe she committed the crime after delivering the takeaway? No one can be sure, right?"
"That's not wrong, but the delivery girl left something with me, and I was worried that she might be worried, so I chased her out to return it to her. But soon after I left the house, I happened to see her fighting with the murderer! The tension and fear filled my mind, and I could only hide and watch secretly..."
Ling Mengxue frowned, as if she was lost in deep memories, with a trace of worry on her face: "And... I always feel that the figure of that 'murderer' is very familiar... as if... I have seen him somewhere before..."
Snapped--
A crisp voice was heard, Ling Mengxue raised her head, and saw Zheng Yalan looking at her with a strange look.
The source of the sound seemed to be the glass that had fallen to the ground because the person was not holding it firmly. It had broken into pieces and the juice was spilling all over the floor.
Facing this scene, Zheng Yalan seemed not to notice it. She folded her hands and rested them on her chin, with a kind smile on her face. "Brother Xiluo, let's not talk about this for now. Are you feeling uncomfortable now? Like dizziness or something like that."
"uncomfortable?"
Ling Mengxue touched her hair in confusion, "Why would Sister Zheng ask that? I'm very happy to have dinner with you tonight, so why would I feel uncomfortable?"
Zheng Yalan's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt a little suspicious.
The medicine hasn't started to take effect yet?
She saw Ling Mengxue drink the juice with her own eyes. The dosage was not small. Normally, if a man touched that kind of thing, he would have lost his mind long ago. But now he can still talk to her normally?
Suddenly, Zheng Yalan felt her body becoming hot and dizzy, and her head began to feel heavy. An ominous premonition instantly came to her mind.
No matter how slow her brain was, she reacted at this moment, and simply took off her disguise, looking at Ling Mengxue with fierce eyes, and said in a cold tone: "It's you? How did you find out? I shouldn't have revealed any flaws, right?"
"Yes, but it seems not. But since you have started to expose yourself, I'll just assume it is true." Ling Mengxue silently cut a piece of fried egg and put it into her mouth, speaking nonchalantly.
Zheng Yalan was startled at first, then smiled evilly: "Haha, little guy, do you think you won? Do you think you can still walk out tonight?"
"Shhh!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtains in the restaurant suddenly fell down. In just a moment, the entire room was completely isolated from the outside world. It was covered tightly and not even a ray of light could penetrate.
Noticing that two waiters holding "props" and with cold faces were approaching them, Ling Mengxue's expression remained unchanged, and she even smiled faintly, and her tone was inexplicably cheerful: "Actually, after hearing what I said just now, you didn't plan to let me out alive, right?"
