Chapter 193 Murder! ['New Year's Eve Dinner Case!']

Chapter 193 Murder! ['New Year's Eve Dinner Case!']

Jiangsan City is a magical place.

In 2003, a man stepped into this land and met another man at a tofu pudding stall.
The feng shui of Jiangsan City has changed a bit.

What has it become?
Police stations in surrounding cities and even across provinces all want to send their men to the Jiangsan City Police Station for long-term secondment!

Well, it's free.

This is simply unbelievable at this time when the poorest people in every place are eager to cross-dress.

But, if you were to say.
How about training your soldiers into sharp-minded special forces for free?
Basically every unit would like to cram all the military dogs in.

This is the current situation at the Jiangsan City Police Station.

Even if it's just an intern coming in, as long as he goes through the case and understands the files, the improvement will increase exponentially!
Take a look at Linlan City.

The police officers in that small local police station had their stress-resistance trained to the maximum in just two or three months!

The amount of work is enough to make most people's scalps tingle just by hearing it.

Take a look at the level of trouble that makes people black out.

In the eyes of these people, "Huh? The workload is so light today? The higher-ups must have opened their eyes!"

The source of all this is.
In Linlan City and Jiangsan City, small gifts randomly appear on the streets.

Zhang Niu didn't know why there were gifts but no one to give them to.

But judging from Wang Chao's expression, this gift seemed quite unexpected. In this case,
surprise?

"Tsk, young people these days always like to be sneaky."

Zhang Niu searched inside and outside, but in the end he didn't find the so-called small gift.

He could only lie on the sofa and said with a slight sigh.

"It's not like what happened to us before. When the matchmaker came, the two of them looked at each other with wide eyes, and they fell in love with each other, so they got married right away and had a baby. How beautiful that is."

Zhang Niu said with great reminiscence.

The wife next to me rolled her eyes.

"Old bastard, why are you so concerned about your daughter's affairs?"

"Her? She should have received a gift, but I don't know what gift it was that could make her look so weird."

Zhang Niu stood up and began to think about it curiously.

Zhang Min is not an ordinary girl. Her education, thinking, and knowledge are not ordinary things that can change her character. There must be something that can exceed her vision.

That's the case.

What could possibly cause this in Jiangsan City?

Zhang Niu became more and more curious, and felt like a cat scratching its head.

But what he got instead was a slap from his wife.

"Who asked you this? I'm asking about Xiaomin's marriage. She's almost 30, not young anymore, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend."

The wife looked at Zhang Niu with disappointment.

Zhang Niu didn't care. He thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"You ask me about business, but this kind of thing"

"I can't help it."

The wife frowned, "Can't you give him some advice? Share some experience? How can you be a father like this?"

“What experience can I pass on?”

Zhang Niu was very dissatisfied, "Am I going to teach you how to make a turtle fall in love with a mung bean?"

"You are the green bean!"

The wife suddenly became furious and pointed at his nose and shouted.

"Then are you a turtle?" Zhang Niu paused and spoke hesitantly.

The two middle-aged men bickered for a while.

This is also a manifestation of their unique feelings.

After a long time, we got back to the main topic.

"Don't worry, I think Xiao Wang is pretty good."

Zhang Niu thought for a moment, recalling the look in his daughter's eyes, and was not worried about her marriage at all.

only.
"What does Xiao Wang call our daughter?" the wife suddenly asked.

"Nephew."

Zhang Niu spoke subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.

He recalled the name the other party had just used in the conversation.
I think I became sworn brothers with him at the beginning of the month?

broken
"never mind."

"let it go."

After saying this, Zhang Niu waved his hand, stopped thinking about this question, and turned to look at another puzzled person who was closer to them.

"Let's think about this year first."

"Let's see how we get by."

Chinese New Year is celebrated on the 21st.

Of course, if you are serious, it should be number 22.

January 21st is New Year’s Eve, and January 22nd is the Spring Festival.

The closer it gets to the New Year, the stronger the festive atmosphere becomes.

What wakes you up in the morning is not the alarm clock, but a 'bomb' set off by some grandson.

The evening is not filled with gossip and murmurings from neighbors.

Instead, it was the sound of children running and laughing in the alleys and the exploding sound of firecrackers.

The gray streets were filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The child in the bulky cotton-padded jacket had red cheeks from the cold and snot running from the tip of his nose, but he still reached out to the firecrackers with the tip of the lit incense stick. With a "sizzle" sound, he quickly got up and ran away.

On the 19th, heavy snow fell from the sky.

The few people from the capital, Zhang Liang, Zhao Gang and Sun Jian, felt as if they were under stress and started to have toothaches the moment they saw the heavy snow. They hoped that there would be less snow in the yard of the Public Security Bureau.

Guoan's Su Cheng was sitting in the pavilion checking things with a smile on his face. His small eyes were narrowed into slits and no one knew what he was thinking.

The snow is heavy.

The world is covered with a thick layer of cotton. When you open the door, you can see accumulated white snow everywhere.

Fortunately, although the traffic is congested, it is not paralyzed.

The vast majority of workplaces have stopped working, most people have gone home for the New Year, supermarkets are closed, and not many people are driving out.

21 number.

On New Year's Eve.

Wang Chao was busy running around in a hurry.

He set a holiday pay of five times for his employees, and if they worked beyond the working hours, they would also receive additional overtime pay.

At the same time, we prepared a generous holiday gift for them.

For customers, Wang Chao launched cheap and good-looking gift set packaging in advance.

This made the store suddenly extremely popular. Customers could not find anywhere else to buy the goods and could only come to the few stores that were open, namely Xu Hao's.

Zhang Min got busy with him.

Xu Hao is frying New Year’s goods at home.

Chu Xi was very depressed.

She always felt that she seemed to have one more memory than others. She had fried ten meatballs, but in the end, only one or two seemed to be left.

Xu Hao looked at Niu Niu who was pointing her finger at her mouth.

"Niuniu is such a big eater. She eats everything you fry!"

Chu Xi couldn't help but worry about the child.

However, Niu Niu's young face looked extremely confused at this moment.

So many meatballs.

What did she eat?
The teenage child suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders become heavier.

Well, this is called a black pot.

Before the Chinese New Year, every minute and every second felt like torture.

When you are very close to the New Year.
But suddenly, I felt that time passed very quickly.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

22nd, morning, :.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Xu Huo got up sleepily, wiped his eyes, and then opened the door in his pajamas.

What caught his eye was the energetic Chu Xi, who was dressed neatly, beautifully, with delicate light makeup on, and looked at Xu Hao with expectation.

"It's Chinese New Year!"

"Well, I'll give you a red envelope."

Xu Hao took out a red envelope from the drawer and handed it to Chu Xi. Chu Xi's eyes suddenly curved, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he took it with both hands.

Niu Niu, who was also feeling happy, opened her eyes wide.

"Say something nice."

Xu Hao lowered his head and looked at the other person.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time before their eyes trembled.

"Happy New Year~"

A tender and clear voice came into my ears.

Niu Niu can talk, but she doesn't like to talk.

Well, it seems that it was taught by Monk Du'e, not to let the other party speak. This monk always teaches things that violate the monk's rules.

"Well, here's one for you."

Xu Huo rubbed the two heads, one big and one small, with satisfaction.

But then, Chu Xi's words made him fall into deep thought.

"What are we going to do?"

"Have a meal."

"Have you finished your meal?"

Chu Xi blinked, and her dark eyes looked at him expectantly.

Xu Hao paused and said hesitantly:
"Waiting for lunch?"

"What about after lunch?"

"Waiting for dinner."

"What about after dinner tonight?"

"sleep."

"But."

Chu Xi was stunned, her pretty features slightly hesitant. She tilted her head and looked at the thick snow falling outside and the children playing in the snow.

"Today is New Year's Day."

"Happy New Year." Niu Niu repeated with her head held high.

"Shouldn't we go to pay New Year's greetings?" Chu Xi wondered.

"Happy New Year!" Niu Niu continued.

"Well, that's normally the case."

Xu Hao nodded without refutation.

Suddenly, he paused and asked a question that made the three of them fall into deep thought.

"Who should we wish a happy new year to?"

Xu Hao is an orphan with no parents or relatives.

Chu Xi's family members are all dead, including his parents and brother. He has no relatives since his father's generation.

Niu
Not to mention Niu Niu.

At this time, the three of them stared at each other.

Tell a rather sad, but fitting hell joke.

Three people can't make a mother.
Seen in this light, it is quite sad.

But if you count carefully, Chu Linhai's family can barely be considered elders, but they are the only one.

But they will have dinner in the evening, so there is no need to go and pay New Year's greetings now.

so.
"Let's do it now."

“It seems like there’s really nothing I can do.”

Xu Hao spoke up.

The two heads, one big and one small, in front of him suddenly drooped down, as if they had lost their spirit.

The Spring Festival is a very good festival.

But the prerequisite is that you are with your family, you are with the whole clan, and there is a lively atmosphere.

And if you are the only one standing in an empty room, listening to the noise outside.
This sound will just be like a knife stabbing into your heart.

But it's not a big problem.

Xu Hao is not the only one.

“But I want to go out.”

Chu Xi looks particularly good today.

She wore a loose plush sweater on her upper body and a plaid scarf around her neck that Xu Hao had given her in previous years. She wore slim pants on her lower body and a women's windbreaker on the outside.

At this moment, the other party was pursing his lips, his eyes flickering slightly, looking at him with pitiful and pleading eyes.

"Go ahead, go ahead~"

Xu Hao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

His expression didn't change as he glanced at the heavy snow outside the window.

"It's too cold outside. It's easy to catch a cold if you go out in the morning."

"Please! Please get out, please get out~"

Chu Xi's soft voice sounded beside her ear.

Xu Hao was silent, then suddenly said, "Get out, you must get out!"

"Let me get dressed first."

After saying that, the door closed.

To be honest, Xu Hao has a bottom line.

It’s so cold outside, not to mention Niuniu, even Chu Xi would catch a cold if he went out to play.

But the words came back again.

Rules are made by people, and people are alive, so naturally the bottom line is also alive.

Xu Hao's bottom line can change with the changes in the environment~
Flexible bottom line!
After a while.

The door opened again, and Xu Hao was wearing all black this time, a slim black sweater, a woolen coat, slim trousers and a pair of simple Martin boots.

There is no need to dress up deliberately, the sweater can show off the strong chest to the fullest.

Chu Xi looked at Xu Hao's broad chest, blinked, and stared blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"what happened?"

Xu Hao buttoned up his clothes and walked away puzzled.

"Let's go."

Chu Xi came back to his senses and immediately followed excitedly.

Niu Niu also followed beside him. She didn't walk fast, so Xu Hao held her with one hand. The other person sat on his bent arm and put her arms around Xu Hao's neck.

"Squeak~"

The door was open, and wisps of cold wind blew in, wrapping around the body and making people feel chilly.

Xu Hao shuddered subconsciously.

The three of them went out.

The streets are very busy during the Chinese New Year. Even if you don’t know each other, you can still smile and say hello when you meet.

Especially at this time, the snow-covered scene gives the Spring Festival a different flavor.

At this time, Niu Niu curled up her body, keeping warm on Xu Hao, while her eyes widened and she looked around curiously.

She was celebrating the New Year. Every New Year, Master Du'e would take them, the children, out to eat something delicious.

Well, that is begging.

On this day, many people will be extra generous and give them some meat to eat.

However, what Niu Niu was most curious about was things that would explode if burned with fire. At this moment, she widened her eyes and looked at the children laughing on the roadside.

A biting cold wind blew again, and Niu Niu buried her head in Xu Hao's collar.

Xu Huo also smacked his lips slightly, paused, and looked back.

"are you cold?"

Chu Xi was a little afraid of the cold. Her body temperature had always been low, and her IQ dropped again due to the cold.

Xu Hao touched her hand. It was very soft and cold, like he was holding a popsicle.

"I'll keep you warm."

His thick hand wrapped the other person's small hand.

Feeling the warmth coming from the palm, Chu Xi blinked, pursed her lips, and leaned on Xu Hao's other arm, with her head almost at the same height as the other's shoulder.

"Hmm~"

Two people walked on the snow, two lines of footsteps intertwined as they moved forward.

They were not in a hurry to find Chu Linhai.

Instead, he went to Master Du'e first.

After all, Chu Linhai is available at any time, but Du'e is different. Although Xu Hao gave him a job, it goes without saying that the other party's salary will be used for other things, and he may not be able to have a good New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year.

However, when they came to the small courtyard
But I found that someone had already arrived ahead of me.

"Hmm? Superboy?"

Xu Hao looked at Wang Chao, Xiaolong and Xiaohu playing snowballs in front of him, and his face paused.

Wang Chao is here.

Not only Wang Chao, but also Zhang Niu and Zhang Min's family.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Hao bent down and put Niu Niu on the ground. Niu Niu immediately ran around happily, picked up a snowball and threw it at Xiaolong and Xiaohu.

Well, my hands are small, so they are more like snow slag than snowballs.

"what?"

Wang Chao turned around after hearing the noise and said excitedly after seeing Xu Hao:

"Brother Niu and his family have come to Jiangsan City. My relatives haven't come here yet, and I don't know any of my neighbors. I can only watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV at home during the New Year."

"Ask me where I can kill time, and I'll bring it."

Xu Hao paused.

Look aside.

At this time, Zhang Niu and Master Du'e were sitting together playing chess, talking and laughing.

Du'e was still wearing the same tattered cassock, but he was covering it over his down jacket.

Xiaolong and Xiaohu were dressed normally. Now they didn't want to help in the shop, so they became apprentices in the repair shop. "Aren't you going home?"

Xu Hao looked at the other person suspiciously.

"I have a falling out with my family, but not a big one. I just need to go home to have a New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

Wang Chao didn't care much about this, as he had not gone home for the New Year in the past.

Furthermore.
"All the relatives in Jiangsan City have returned to their hometowns for the New Year, so there are no relatives to visit for New Year's greetings."

"It's like Niu Ge, life is very leisurely. My brother took my parents out to play, so they don't need me."

Xu Hao nodded.

It is better for outsiders not to interfere in complicated family conflicts.

In fact, in this whole house.
It seems that only Wang Chao and Zhang Min have parents.

Xu Hao fell into deep thought. He turned his head to look at the scene of more than ten people, big and small, in the yard.

It's like an orphanage.
Then who do you think you are?
The director of the orphanage?

Just as he was complaining in his heart, a sharp chill suddenly emerged from his neck.

Xu Huo reached out and touched it, and a lump of snow appeared. He looked back.

But Chu Xi seemed to have done nothing, with his hands behind his back and his eyes looking away.

Xu Hao looked at her closely.

Chu Xi still turned his head away.

Xu Hao covered her cheeks with his hands and forced her to look at him. Chu Xi closed her eyes guiltily.

"Tsk, these kids are quite lively."

Inside the house, at the table, Zhang Niu looked at the lively scene outside and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's all thanks to Mr. Xu's kindness."

Master Du'e spoke.

Zhang Niu smiled, then looked the other person up and down.

"Master, you seem a little malnourished now."

"Didn't Xiao Xu give you a high salary? Why don't you want to spend it?"

"That's not right. Xiao Wang said you used the money to buy bread?"

Zhang Niu asked in amazement.

Du'e has a salary, which is very high, two thousand a month, plus five insurances and one fund.

In addition, if the store fails to sell the bread, the employees can take the disposed bread back, so in theory a lot of money can be saved throughout the year.

However, Du'e used his salary to buy the expired bread and distributed it.

This is strange, it can be free, but you have to pay for it.
"The bread is not mine, it belongs to Donor Xu. He gave it to me, but in essence, it still belongs to Donor Xu and the shop."

Du'e shook his head, his tone still calm, and took another step forward while speaking.

"I can eat it, and I can give it to my family, but I can't give it away everywhere, and I can't give it away for free."

"Unless I buy it."

There is a rule in the bakery.

That is, if the bread is not sold at night, you can eat it or take it home.

However, it cannot be distributed to ordinary people for free!

why?
Let me give you a simple and direct example.

In Xu Huo’s previous life, there was a person on the Internet who distributed beef noodles for free. As long as the elderly brought their own bowl, they could eat for free.

But a pity.

It was just a request, and even after it was clearly stated to my face, the other party still didn't bring the bowl.

Then what? Did the old man go back to get the bowl?

No.

She overturned the free beef noodle stall because she didn't bring a bowl.

If a bakery gave out food for free.

On the positive side, it can save food and allow more poor people to survive.

But what if we change the angle?
How to solve the problem when there is a problem eating the bread after it is distributed?

If everyone knew that bread would be distributed for free in the evening, would anyone still buy it?
What if the person who comes to get the bread is an old man like the one who eats beef noodles?
Or, if, when free becomes a habit
“When free becomes a habit, then a spontaneous act of kindness is no longer spontaneous.”

Master Du'e had a blank expression on his face and a calm look in his eyes as he continued to take the next step.

“Only if there’s a day when the bakery doesn’t give out bread.”

"Then they will be attacked by everyone."

“If I use the free bread to do good, it’s not me doing good.”

"It's just transferring the cause to the bakery. It's making the bakery pay to gain fame for me. In the end, I'm just a thief, a middleman."

“But if you buy something, even if it’s on sale, it’s completely different.”

If a good person does a bad thing, then this person is a bad person with a heinous crime.

If a bad person does a good thing, then he is a good person who has returned to the right path.

It's very simple.

Even if it's a bit confusing to think about.

Zhang Niu's face showed more and more admiration for the monk.

Be insightful, not old-fashioned, and know how to adapt.

"What you said makes me want to build a Buddhist temple for you."

"What's the point of a Buddhist temple? It's nothing more than using money to buy two clay sculptures. I just make something to satisfy my spirit with a pile of clay sculptures."

"Besides, I have already returned to secular life."

As he spoke, Du'e paused slightly, stretched out his hand, and took the last step.

"General."

"Dead chess, Mr. Zhang, you lose."

Zhang Niu paused, then came back to his senses and looked at the chess game.

Then he burst into laughter, "Then what do you think I should do?"

Du'e paused, remained silent for a moment, and said:
"Maybe you can try going out with the leftovers from the New Year's Eve dinner."

New Year's Eve dinner leftovers
Zhang Niu thought for a moment, couldn't think of anything, and then nodded.

"it is good."

Xu Hao and others bid farewell to Master Du'e.

Wang Chao and Zhang Niu went home.

Xu Hao kept Niu Niu and spent the New Year here temporarily, and then went to Chu Linhai's home with Chu Xi.

Chu Linhai’s home is a large flat, which he bought with his retirement pay. He has not moved since he got married.

In the evening, half past eight.

"boom!!!"

A gorgeous colorful flower exploded in the sky.

The night is refilled with black and colorful colors, and a lively atmosphere is overflowing.

The house was filled with couplets and banners, and decorated with colorful lights. People were wearing bright red clothes, and everyone was happily huddled in front of the TV, laughing and watching the show. It was quite lively.

Chu Xi was humming a song while making New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. Xu Hao was helping her and arguing with Chu Linhai at the same time.

Outside the window, fireworks are blooming all over the sky, colorful and brilliant.

In the evening, half past nine.

As the Spring Festival draws to a close, everyone closes their doors, hides in their warm homes, and stands in front of the TV, happily watching the Spring Festival Gala.
A voice sounded quietly on the street.

"What are you doing out here so late?"

In the community, Zhang Niu turned around and glanced at his puzzled wife behind him. He was holding a plate of leftover New Year's Eve dinner in his hand.

"Go out and see."

Zhang Niu said this casually, and then rushed into the wind and snow.

His wife wanted to follow him, but he drove her back to the room.

Monk Du'e gave him several addresses.

The addresses are nothing strange, parks, around residential areas, or construction sites.

Everything looks normal.

What's In Here?
Du'e didn't say it clearly, so Zhang Niu came.

At this time, in the park.

Zhang Niu sat next to a cement pipe, watching the falling snow around him and the fireworks exploding in the sky in the distance.

He walked for a long time but saw nothing.

"Tsk, the food is cold. Looks like it'll be hard to find today."

Zhang Niu exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the hot air turned into white mist in the air, which was very clear.

He glanced at the dish in his hand. It was covered with a layer of white snow, and there was some ice chips underneath, which had already frozen his hands.

He thought for a moment, put the plate of meat on the ground, and then slowly walked away with his hands in his pockets.

Zhang Niu's figure disappeared in the park.

The snow keeps falling.

There was no one in the park, and the loud sound of firecrackers echoed in this dead and empty area.

until
"Squeak~"

A slight friction sound was heard.

next second.

A head popped out from the stacked hollow pipes. The dirty head vigilantly checked the surrounding conditions, then stood up and walked to the ground.

Next, the second head.

There were two children hiding in the hollow pipe, wearing thin clothes, shivering in the ice and snow.

They looked around, then picked up the chicken on the ground and stuffed it into their mouths voraciously.

"Is it tasty?"

Suddenly, a hand lifted them both up into the air. They were startled and shook their bodies desperately while holding the chicken legs.

Zhang Niu appeared with a smile on his face.

He comforted the two children a little, showed goodwill, and made sure that they would not run away, then he gave the chicken back.

The two children looked at each other and immediately started to eat voraciously.

These are two street kids.

There are always a lot of homeless children these days, no matter where you go.

Zhang Niu sat on the hollow pipe at the back and watched silently.

heaven.

It is the exploding fireworks, so gorgeous, telling the joy of reunion and the lively atmosphere.

In the distance, there are children setting off fireworks everywhere, smiling faces, lighters, red ears, and crackling firecrackers.
Zhang Niu let out a breath and lowered his eyes.

before.

There were two children, squatting on the ground in the heavy snow, eating the leftovers of their New Year's Eve dinner.

His clothes were tattered and his ears were frozen.

The bustle, joy, and fireworks around them seemed to be in two different worlds from them.

Zhang Niu was a little dazed. He wiped his eyes, but still saw this extremely contradictory picture.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly smiled.

Perhaps, this is what Du'e said.

It is better to donate a bowl of porridge than to build a temple.

During this period of time, people on the Internet should still be blessing each other, expecting each other, talking about the future, and hoping for a better future.

The two homeless children were more concerned about the leftovers in front of them.

After a long time, the chewing sound disappeared.

"Are you full?"

Zhang Niu looked at the two children who swallowed some of the bones they could bite and asked.

"We have something else to eat."

The two children spoke excitedly.

"What's delicious?"

Zhang Niu asked with a smile, and while speaking, he wrapped a coat around the two children.

They were very thin and Zhang Niu was fat, so there was just enough space for two of them.

"How about I take you guys out to eat some meat?"

The waif shook his head and spoke with great pride.

“We want to eat hot pot!”

"Hot pot? You can also eat hot pot?" Zhang Niu asked curiously.

"Yes, I'll treat you!"

The slightly older child spoke up generously.

"Then I'm lucky."

Zhang Niu smiled and spoke gently.

"Where's your pot?"

"Wait a moment."

The two children shrank back into the hollow tube.

Their home is not inside the pipes; their home is in the sewers below.

However, the park was undergoing maintenance and a bunch of pipes were brought in to press down the manhole cover.

After a while, the two children found a simple iron pot.

At the same time, there are several burnt coal ash underneath.

They wanted to go to the park to get some water, but the water pipes were frozen. After much thought, they could only carefully steal some water from the faucet at someone's door.

Next, light the burnt coal slag and wait for the water to boil without adding the base ingredients.

Two children mysteriously pulled out of a plastic bag.
"Large intestine?" Zhang Niu paused.

“Is this called the large intestine?”

The two children paused and spoke suspiciously.

“That’s the large intestine hotpot!”

The older child said that usually he could only watch others eat in other places, but he had never eaten it before.

"Have you washed it?"

Zhang Niu suddenly spoke.

"I washed it. Look, it's very clean!"

The waif thought it was a bit disgusting, so he immediately spoke eagerly.

Zhang Niu paused, then suddenly asked, "Have you washed inside?"

"Inside? Do I need to wash inside?" the homeless child wondered.

"You didn't clean the inside of your large intestine?"

Zhang Niu was silent for a moment, then said helplessly:
"Do you want to come to my house? I'll give you a New Year's Eve dinner and clean your intestines at the same time."

The two street kids hesitated, exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then nodded.

"Walk."

Zhang Niu smiled and walked back the way he came.

The community is not far from the park, otherwise he would not have walked here.

It didn't take long before I returned to the community.

Zhang Niu knocked on the door and his wife's face peeked out from the crack.

"These two children"

"Please come and have a meal."

Zhang Niu said casually, then opened the door and let the two children in.

Looking at the huge house, the two homeless children's eyes widened, as if they had entered a magnificent palace and couldn't take their eyes away.

"You take care of things first, I'll go wash the things."

Zhang Niu signaled to his wife to wash her hands and face, and he went to the kitchen.

There was hot water in the kitchen, and he kept washing with his hands.

What Du'e said makes sense. Building a temple seems to be useful, but it also seems to be useless.

Giving a bowl of porridge may seem like a drop in the bucket, but at least it can fill your stomach once.

Zhang Niu smiled and washed the large intestine in his hands.

"Tsk, Jiang Sanshi is quite interesting. Du'e, Wang Chao, Xu Hao, and Chu Linhai are all interesting people."

"only"

"How come the large intestine is a bit interesting?"

In a trance, Zhang Niu, who was cleaning, suddenly stopped. His expression gradually disappeared and his eyes became hesitant.

This is not fresh intestines. How can it be in his hands?
Why does it feel so familiar?

He reached out and squeezed his intestines.

This feel.
Why does it look a bit like the intestines I held when I was on duty as a soldier?

wrong
In an instant, Zhang Niu's pupils shrank suddenly and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

This is not like, this is it!!!

at the same time.

Chu Linhai's home.

Xu Huo, who was eating, suddenly stopped.

A familiar voice appeared in his ears.

[Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission.]

【(Unfinished)】

[Reward cards are available in four levels, namely 25% sense of substitution, 50% sense of substitution, 75% sense of substitution, and 100% sense of substitution]

Xu Hao was silent. He looked around and saw the bustling living room filled with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

He looked again at the fireworks blooming in the sky outside.

Xu Hao fell into deep thought.

Today is the Spring Festival.

Is he
What hallucinations did you hear?
【The name of this case is.】

【'New Year's Eve Dinner Case'! 】

New Year’s Eve dinner?
Xu Hao frowned.

What is this case?
