When Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi came to Chen Zhaozhong's roast goose shop, Chen Zhaozhong was busy cleaning with his friend.
It was already lunchtime, and there was no one in the hotel. Gu Qiuyi was not worried about being recognized. She just wore a mask and took Ye Chen into the restaurant.
As soon as the two of them walked into the door, the sensor at the door jingled and reminded the guests to come in. The busy guy said without raising his head: "I'm sorry, we've closed our meal."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Give us something to eat, we haven't eaten yet."
Chen Zhaozhong heard Ye Chen's voice, turned his head and saw that he and Gu Qiuyi were coming together, and couldn't help but be happy and smiled, "Why haven't you two eaten yet?"
Gu Qiuyi held Ye Chen's arm and said coquettishly: "Hello Uncle Zhong!"
Ye Chen also smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, we went to Fei's house for a walk at noon. We wanted to have a meal, but in the end we couldn't get what we wanted."
Gu Qiuyi muttered dissatisfiedly: "You insisted on letting the two men and sons of the Fei family drink, but they drank them down, making me feel like I'm in the mood to eat."
When Chen Zhaozhong heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that there is a story here. You two hurry up and sit upstairs. I'll prepare some food for you two. Let's sit down and talk to me later.
explain."
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "Uncle Zhong, then we'll go up and wait for you."
Gu Qiuyi also smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, I want to eat roasted pigeons, eat two!"
Chen Zhaozhong smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go upstairs first, I'll prepare now."
Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi went up the stairs together, but before they could get to the second floor, they heard a jingle sound from the door. Then, a familiar voice said, "Boss, two."
Ye Chen subconsciously stopped and squatted down a little. Through the gaps in the stairs, he saw the two people coming in at a glance.
The person who spoke was his uncle, An Chongqiu, and the one standing next to his uncle was the famous Chinese detective Li Yalin.
However, Li Yalin today lost the style of Ye Chen who saw him last time, and his whole beard was sloppy and looked very energetic.
Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly pulled Gu Qiuyi, and the two of them quickly went upstairs.
Gu Qiuyi just looked at Ye Chen quietly and recognized Li Yalin, but she didn't know why Ye Chen seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked: "Brother Ye Chen, can you have any clues being caused by the detective Li
Have you mastered it?"
Ye Chen waved his hand: "I'm not hiding from him, I'm hiding from the person beside him."
Gu Qiuyi asked quickly: "Brother Ye Chen, who is that person?"
Ye Chen shrugged and said lightly: "That person is my uncle."
"Ah?!" Gu Qiuyi asked in surprise: "It's your uncle? Then why don't we say hello?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "He doesn't know my situation yet, but he's still gone."
Gu Qiuyi said in confusion: "Why... My dad said, your grandfather and his family want to find your whereabouts. Wouldn't it be nice if they could re-recognize each other?"
Ye Chen sighed lightly and said, "Forget it."
...
On the other hand, when Chen Zhaozhong saw An Chongqiu, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Sir, you haven't been here for a while."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yalin next to him again. He was stunned at first, then said with shock: "This... this person should be the famous Chinese detective Inspector Li?"
In fact, Chen Zhaozhong was a little nervous at this time because on the night when Fei Haoyang disappeared, he and Li Yalin met at the Royal Palace Hotel.
However, at that time, Chen Zhaozhong put on a suit, tied a tie, shaved his beard and made a hairstyle. He looked like a handsome uncle from the upper class, and he had a big image as an ordinary restaurant owner who was wearing an apron and wearing an ordinary apron.
In contrast, he deliberately asked, hoping to guide Li Yalin to make him think that the two of them met for the first time, and instead of defense.
Li Yalin really didn't recognize Chen Zhaozhong at this time. He smiled absent-mindedly and said to himself: "I am not a magic detective, I am just a fictional reputation."
An Chongqiu smiled and said, "Boss, don't pay attention to him. He is stimulated. We haven't eaten yet. You should be able to eat here, right? I see two young people came in just now."
Seeing that Li Yalin did not recognize him, Chen Zhaozhong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, we have closed our meals. The two you saw just now are the children of my old friend. It's so late and haven't had lunch yet, so I'll do it.
Let them go upstairs.”
As he said that, Chen Zhaozhong said again: "But now that you are here, you can't let me go for nothing. Let's do this. You two sit on the first floor. If you want something to eat, tell the guy and I'll prepare."
"Okay." An Chongqiu nodded and smiled, "thank you, boss."
After saying that, he said to Li Yalin: "Old Li, just sit there and let you taste the best Cantonese roast goose in New York."
Li Yalin smacked his lips and said, "Oh, I actually want to drink two drinks the most now."
After saying that, he looked up at the small wine cabinet behind the hotel counter and said in surprise: "Boss, do you still have Erguotou?"
"Yes." Chen Zhaozhong smiled and said, "I imported it from China. Can you try it with a bottle?"
Li Yalin smiled happily and said, "Okay! Come two bottles!"
An Chongqiu couldn't help but joke: "You drink so much at noon and don't work in the afternoon?"
Li Yalin shook his head: "Anyway, I can't find any clues. I went to the office to sleep in the afternoon. I have been walking around for two days, so it's time to sleep for a while."
An Chongqiu nodded and said casually: "Okay, I'll have some drinks with you. After drinking, I'll go home and have a sleep. I'll go back to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning."
Li Yalin asked in surprise: "Why are you leaving so early? You don't stay in New York for two more days?"
An Chongqiu waved his hand and said, "I can't stay anymore. I have to go back to see the old man. I have been back from China for some time and have never returned."
Li Yalin nodded with great understanding and said, "It's time to go back and take a look. Help me take good care of the old man and the old lady."
As he said that, he remembered something and said, "The old man should still remember me, right?"
An Chongqiu nodded: "Remember."
"That's good."
At this moment, Ye Chen on the second floor felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't want to have any involvement with his grandfather's family, but he was separated from his uncle An Chongqiu twice, which made him feel more or less strange.
It's strange, but more of a contradiction.
The root of the contradiction is that on the one hand, Ye Chen wanted to draw a clear line with them and cut off all the relationship, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but want to go up and say hello, and ask him why the An family looked down on him so much back then.
Father?
In addition, he also wanted to ask whether the An family knew the real reason for his parents' murder.
Gu Qiuyi, who was sitting opposite Ye Chen, saw his discomfort, reached out and gently held his hand, his eyes softly, and said softly: "Brother Ye Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Chen said casually: "No, I'm pretty good."
"No." Gu Qiuyi said seriously: "Do you feel that your uncle is sitting downstairs making you feel uncomfortable?"
"That's right." Ye Chen didn't show off his strength either, and nodded slightly to admit it.
Gu Qiuyi suddenly felt a little sorry for Ye Chen.
She knew that although Ye Chen is now extremely strong and has achieved extraordinary achievements, his parents have not lived well for more than ten or twenty years after his death, so there is inevitably some sensitivity in his heart.
So she held Ye Chen's hand tightly and said seriously: "Brother Ye Chen, if you feel uncomfortable staying here, I will lend you the mask to wear. Let's go first!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, just get used to it a little!"
