Chapter 141: Dead Man’S Meal! A Thief?
Although Zhang Yangrong still had a smile on his face,
But his tone became noticeably calmer.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is not a stray dog."
If Auntie is still ready to yell,
They were all blocked by Zhang Yangrong's words.
Watching the big dog run through the door.
Or Lin Qi spoke up at the right time,
Call the big dog,
The big dog stops,
sit in front,
Wait for Lin Qi to give the next instructions.
Auntie wanted to say that it was obviously a stray dog.
But looking at Zhang Yangrong's face,
Auntie didn’t dare to say anything,
Taking Lin Qi and Zhang Yangrong into the house,
A man who was only fifty years old but had completely gray hair, and a woman with a wrinkled face and a sluggish complexion were sitting at the dining table.
"Sir, Madam, Mr. Zhang Xiao is here to see you." Auntie greeted.
Then the aunt said she would prepare some tea and snacks for the guests.
"Wu San San" wisely retreated to the kitchen.
Zhang Yangrong smiled cordially and said, "I didn't expect that my arrival would be such a coincidence, just in time for you to have dinner."
The woman put down her chopsticks,
His expression was unnatural for a moment,
It was Zhang Yangrong's biological uncle Zhang Shu who was the first to react.
Smiling, he stood up and faced Zhang Yangrong,
"Why are you here all of a sudden?" Uncle Zhang joked, "You're not just here to get some food, are you?"
The woman and Zhang Yangrong both laughed when they heard Uncle Zhang's words.
Lin Qi looked around the inside of the house calmly,
It's not night yet,
But all the curtains in the house were tightly drawn,
By turning on all the lights in the house,
Keep the house brightly lit.
Traces of Zhang Kaicheng’s life can be seen everywhere in the house.
Sneakers, basketballs, photos, clothes hanging out to dry...
There are no photos or altars placed in the house.
It seems that Uncle Zhang and his wife are still pretending that their son is not dead.
Create the illusion that Zhang Kaicheng is still living with them...
"Uncle, I don't think so even if you don't tell me, but after hearing what you said, I'm really a little hungry." Zhang Yangrong naturally accepted Uncle Zhang's joke and said,
It sounds like,
The relationship between their family is quite harmonious.
"By the way, uncle, let me introduce you," Zhang Yangrong raised his hand and gestured to Lin Qi next to him, "This is Lin Qi.
There are many people named Lin.
But Zhang Yangrong can introduce it in a meaningful tone,
Uncle Zhang can only think of one "Lin".
Uncle Zhang shook hands with Lin Qi warmly: "Hello, hello, Lin Qi, right? Just treat it as if you are at your own home and let Xiaoyang take you to have fun without being restrained."
Lin Qi felt Uncle Zhang's cold palm,
There seems to be no temperature,
Lin Qi raised an eyebrow,
Uncle Zhang took back his hand in time,
Subconsciously he hid his hands behind his back.
Lin Qi rubbed her fingers,
There is no need for Uncle Zhang to say,
Lin Qi starts from entering,
There is no sign of being constrained or uncomfortable at all,
Lin Qi cast his eyes on the dining table,
He said casually:
"Uncle Zhang must have expected that we would come to visit. There is an extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
After hearing what Lin Qi said,
Uncle Zhang's expression froze,
The woman became visibly nervous in an instant.
Zhang Yangrong looked at the dining table belatedly.
Lin Qi: "But Uncle Zhang probably didn't expect two people to come, so he only prepared an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Zhang Yangrong said a strange "Huh".
After Lin Qi’s reminder,
Zhang Yangrong discovered that,
On the dining table, except where Uncle Zhang and his wife were sitting, there were bowls and chopsticks.
No one does the other side,
There is also a pair of bowls and chopsticks,
There is rice in the bowl,
It had obviously been placed there before they came.
Zhang Yangrong looked at Uncle Zhang and the woman in surprise.
Asked: "Do you... have guests?"
The Zhang family does not have the habit of dining at the same table with servants and nannies.
Not to mention,
As far as Zhang Yangrong knows,
After Zhang Kaicheng's death,
Uncle Zhang and his wife explain things in simple terms. Even the aunt at home only does cooking and cleaning. She will leave when the time comes and does not live at home.
They are even more so today because of the big dog,
I only come to visit you on a whim,
There is no way that Uncle Zhang knew in advance that they were coming.
A situation where I put an extra bowl of rice on the table.
so,
Zhang Yangrong's first reaction was,
I think there are other guests at Uncle Zhang's house.
But Zhang Yangrong’s words had just come out of his mouth,
Seeing the reactions of Uncle Zhang and his wife,
Zhang Yangrong knew,
There are no other guests here,
then,
That extra bowl of rice on the table,
It suddenly became intriguing.
Zhang Yangrong looked at Uncle Zhang and the woman in confusion.
Who knows,
Both of them had wandering eyes,
for a time,
I can't even give an explanation...
at last,
It was Lin Qi who guessed thoughtfully:
"Did I make a mistake? In fact, the extra bowl of rice was offered to the dead Zhang Kaicheng?"
Zhang Yangrong was shocked,
But I didn’t expect that,
After hearing Lin Qi’s guess,
The woman nodded immediately,
"Yes, yes, Xiao Lin is really well-informed. This bowl of rice is just for our poor child.
Said,
The woman looked at Zhang Yangrong,
"We were just afraid of scaring you, so we didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Uncle Zhang also nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yangrong was dubious when he heard this.
Lin Qi suddenly spoke again,
"However," Lin Qi walked to the dining table and touched the still warm rice bowl, "Since it is a dead man's meal, why has it been eaten by others?"
Zhang Yangrong Dingqing took a look,
There is indeed a little less rice in the bowl,
It is clear,
It was the mark of being eaten once or twice.
Zhang Yangrong suddenly looked at Uncle Zhang,
Uncle Zhang wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on his forehead at some point.
He said with a smile: "We didn't pay attention either. Maybe what Auntie served was just the meal we had eaten. It was just a thought. We are not that particular..."
did not expect,
Lin Qi shook his head,
"The dead man's food has been eaten. This is an ominous sign. We can't just forget it. We need to find out what happened on 5.3."
Uncle Zhang opened his mouth to say something,
But Lin Qi moves faster,
called out,
The big dog, who had been quiet all this time, immediately walked to Lin Qi's side,
Lin Qi picked up the rice bowl,
Put it in front of the big dog’s nose,
Even big dogs won’t eat it,
Instead, he sniffed,
Lin Qi said leisurely: "My dog is very smart. It can find food thieves with just a sniff...it doesn't matter whether the person is a human or a ghost."
The big dog sniffed for a moment,
Suddenly he raised his head and looked in the direction of the second floor,
Baring his teeth,
A deep whine came from his throat.
Zhang Yangrong and the other three were shocked.
Zhang Yangrong was surprised,
The dog king actually has such ability??
Uncle Zhang and the woman were so frightened that they almost jumped.
Uncle Zhang even shouted loudly,
"no!"
for a time,
Lin Qi and Zhang Yangrong both looked at him. .
