Mr Killer Next Door

The roast duck restaurant chosen by Jiuwu is very antique. From the cornices and pillars, it looks like an old Asian house compound in the old century.

Entering the store, you will find that no matter the stairs, the suspended ceiling or the high-hanging plaques, they are all mahogany materials that were popular in the old century.

Walking under the two round columns, the waiter leads you all the way to the private room on the second floor.

The tables and chairs in the house are also simple and firm, and there are grid-style warm lamps hanging above the head.

"What do you want to eat?" Jiuwu handed Qiu Shihuan the menu in the waiter's hand.

"Well... of course it's roast duck. Although I don't know what it looks like, uncle said it's called this. Its picture looks very attractive, and I see it right." He turned to look at the waiter, smiling Tilting his head, "Auntie, I want a whole one. Uncle can also have one..."

"Okay, as far as you are picky eaters, can you really eat a whole one and not get tired of it?"

Jiang Yu pressed his fist against his face, slightly supported his chin with his thumb, and couldn't help laughing seeing the child's swearing.

He reached out to scrape the displeasure from the corner of the other's mouth.

"Don't be so sad. I'm telling you the truth, little cat."

Qiu Shihuan snorted.

"Uncle pinched my butt and didn't give me food, I will remember."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Yu pinched the other person's nose, and then let go after the child patted his arm, "I am not careful when I speak, and keep pushing the blame on others? Such a bad child, Where can I find it?"

Qiu Shihuan stuck out his tongue at him.

"You can order something else." Jiuwu looked at the two people who were laughing and playing, and said, "Otherwise you will be hungry."

"Oh, then this one, this one, and this one." Qiu Shihuan didn't even look at him, he flipped a page and pointed at the menu.Seemingly feeling that it wasn't enough, he purposely added with a smile, "Let's have a portion of them all."

The waiter was a little dumbfounded, holding the order device and hawing.

"Do you want a copy of all of them?"

Jiang Yu knew that Qiu Shihuan wanted to give an affirmative answer, so he hurried over and whispered in his ear.

"That's not okay, kid. No matter how much you play your temper, no matter how much you hate the person opposite you, you can't be too extravagant and wasteful when it comes to food. Be a good boy who gets what you need, okay?"

Qiu Shihuan pouted, but did not respond.

Seeing the sharp broken eyebrow and the frown getting closer, Jiang Yu knew that besides trying to embarrass Jiuwu, the child also had the rebellious psychology of adolescence.

The more children of this age are like this, the less tough the attitude of adults will be.

So he lowered his volume and spoke softly.

"Little greedy cat, let me ask you a few questions, you have to answer truthfully."

"Ah."

"If you really ordered a portion of all of them, dozens of dishes, would you eat them? Would Lawyer Jiuwu eat them?"

The boy opened his mouth, unable to answer.

"In the end, it's not me who cleans up the mess? Besides, you're not a big eater, you're just greedy. You should recognize the reality sooner."

"I always feel that uncle is being sarcastic. I'm not happy." Qiu Shihuan muttered, "Forget it, just listen to uncle. I want this whole roast duck here—"

"One serving?"

The waiter bowed politely.

Qiu Shihuan looked at Jiang Yu expectantly.

Jiang Yu shook his head.

The young man flattened his mouth in a low mood.

"One serving."

The slender fingers pointed at the pictures, sliding one page at a time.

"Ah, pumpkin paste, I want a copy of this!"

"There's also dessert. Well, for dessert, mousse and truffle cake." He happily pointed to the blueberry ice cream, "Have another serving of this!"

The waiter silently recorded all his requests.

"May I ask what the duck rack wants to do?"

Hisaya said, and handed the menu back to the other party.

"Soup. Don't worry, just serve some dessert first."

Jiang Yu sat up straight.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect to have to pay for the meal."

"Where is it?" Jiuwu glanced at his watch, "Mr. Jiang takes care of Shihuan these days, and he deserves my respect and gratitude."

While Jiang Yu was drinking tea with his head down, the ice cream had already been delivered to the table.

Qiu Shihuan happily took the glass bowl and dug a spoonful with great interest.

"His father also said the same thing." Jiang Yu handed the child a tissue, "but the result can be imagined. I paid a terrible price, so I can't bear the respect and gratitude of Lawyer Jiuwu."

"It's not surprising that Mr. Jiang seems to be hostile to me." Jiuwu didn't argue, and patiently shook the Dragon Well tea in the teacup, "Shihuan doesn't trust me so much. Fundamentally speaking, Mr. Jiang should really be wary of me. "

Jiang Yu looked at the reflection in the cup.

"Since I should be wary of Lawyer Jiuwu, why invite us here?"

Hisaya sipped his tea, but couldn't answer the question right away.

He raised his head slowly, raised his chin toward the center of the store, and motioned Jiang Yu to look at the TV.

The latter followed that gaze suspiciously, and glanced at an interview news from the corner of his eye.

The interviewee was none other than Kim Woo Cheol.

Jiang Yu subconsciously raised his teacup, concealing the unusual fluctuations in his eyes.

【Why did you kill people. 】

asked the female reporter.

This man, who was much more downcast than the last time he saw, was firmly tied to the chair with a restraint belt, unable to move.

He was tall, his bloodshot eyeballs looked down horribly, and he muttered to himself.

[Because I hear their whispers, they are plotting.I think they want to kill me, no, they must want to kill me. 】

The female reporter seemed not expecting to get such an answer, and continued to probe: 【Have you been hurt by these plots? 】

Jin Youzhe lowered his head and was silent for a while.

[I will not let this happen, they will never succeed.So before I start, I have to make their voices go away. 】

[So you kill people out of fear. 】

【fear?No, not like that. 】Jin Youzhe remained expressionless, 【It's self-protection.I need to protect myself. 】

[Why do you feel the need to protect yourself? 】

[They are going to kill me. ] He still clings to this bizarre excuse, 【Isn’t this human instinct?A curse inherited from genes, isn't it reasonable to kill others in order to protect oneself? 】

The female reporter clamped her legs unnaturally.

【Oh, well... What kind of voices did you hear? 】

[Some words that make people angry and unwilling.Everyone is talking, talking non-stop.You too, you despise me very, very much. 】The man seemed to be caught in a long memory, he clasped his fingers and leaned slightly, 【—I think you are talking about 'murderer'.Ah, yes, I heard that right, you're muttering again.You don't even want to know what I heard, it's just a joke. 】

The female reporter hugged one arm and handed the microphone forward tremblingly.

[Have you tried treatment? 】

【treat?I'm fine, why do I need therapy? 】

[Because this will inevitably affect your normal life, especially this strong sense of distrust. 】

[I don't need treatment. 】Jin Youzhe said firmly, 【Do you know my last doctor?I don't know him, his face is unfamiliar to me, but they all call him 'the attending doctor'.He wanted to kill me, he injected chronic poison into my veins himself every time, and tied me up with such a belt. 】

He jerked the restraint belt a few times, and the stool fastened to the ground rattled.

[When I crushed his throat, I knew, I heard the bug cracking from the guy's bones... He must not be a doctor, he was just ordered to kill me. 】

【Some people think. 】The female reporter swallowed, 【The people you killed were not only for psychological reasons, but someone instructed you to do so. 】

Jin Youzhe raised his head silently.

【It's their fault, they shouldn't have made these noises.They deserve it, they deserve to shut up. 】

The crazy interview is finally over here.

Jiang Yu turned his attention back to Lawyer Jiuwu.

Both sides were sawing each other with the food in front of them. Jiang Yu picked a chopstick of oily crispy duck skin and a few slices of lean meat, wrapped cucumber strips and scallions into pancakes, and drizzled the sauce evenly.

Before the food was delivered to his mouth, he was swallowed by the breath gathering around his lips.

"Uncle, it's delicious." Qiu Shihuan kicked his legs and muttered indistinctly.He sat up straight, pointed at the roast duck, "Spread it out like that, and eat it with something?"

Jiang Yu helplessly wiped the sweet sauce from the corner of his mouth. With little force, he just wiped off a fleeting red mark.

"Yes, you can try it yourself, and ah, don't grab food from my mouth again."

Qiu Shihuan curled his lips, and had no choice but to follow his movements and spread the pancake in his palm.

Unlike Jiang Yu, Qiu Shihuan is a greedy ghost when it comes to eating.

He sandwiched nearly twice the normal amount of roasted duck skin, twice the amount of seasoning, and now he was going to scourge the sweet bean sauce in the small dish.

"Why can't you grab uncle's food?"

He wrapped it a few times without pinching the outer skin, so he could only bite with his teeth.

Unfortunately, greed always has a price.

The opening at one end of the pancake was loose again, and the creamy duck meat mixed with the sauce slipped through the plastic glove and dripped down from the wrist.

"—Ah! It's dripping out, it's about to stain my clothes, uncle, come and save me! Give me the napkin, I'm going to wash my hands."

"Open your mouth wide."

With quick eyes and hands, Jiang Yu pinched the pancake that was about to fall apart, and pushed it into Qiu Shihuan's mouth.

Excessive sauce splashed from the corner of the boy's mouth between bites.

Jiang Yu helplessly wiped off the sauce that was about to flow down his chin.

Qiu Shihuan looked at him innocently and pitifully.

"Uncle, your face is dirty. Your hands are dirty too."

"Who made you so greedy." He scratched the bridge of the other's upturned nose, "You can't even grab your hand, and you want to stuff it into your mouth safely?"

"Uncle didn't tell me in advance, uncle is good or bad." Qiu Shihuan wiped his lips vigorously, and looked up at him after a while, "Uncle, do you still have any on my face?"

"There's a little more here." Jiang Yu gently scraped off the remaining sauce on his chin with a tissue.Hearing the child's reproachful tone, he couldn't help rubbing the top of the other's hair, "How can you blame me for this kind of thing? It doesn't make sense."

Qiu Shihuan choked on his words, frowning and trying to fight back.

"Okay, wayward kid. Go wash your hands and face." Jiang Yu pinched his cheek lightly, "By the way, take a look at the unrecognizable face in the mirror, and let you know what the fate of greed is."

"Is your face still dirty?"

"Dirty, almost wiped on the cheeks."

"Uncle must bully me again!"

The child yelled in dismay and rushed into the bathroom angrily.

Jiang Yu propped his chin, his eyes glued to the back of the young man leaving.

He couldn't help laughing.

"He's very happy to be by your side." The moment the boy disappeared without a trace, Hisaya, who had been silent all this time, interrupted his meal.He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu who was seated opposite him, "I'm even more convinced now that I should be on your side."

"Lawyer Hisaya."

Jiang Yu took a spoonful of soup.

The picked duck meat exudes a rich and fresh aroma, and the taste is firm and chewy.

The flesh and blood are fully integrated with the soup, and every bite will inevitably overflow with overflowing juice.

Almost as soon as you taste it, your taste buds are completely captured.

"Shihuan is not here now, if you have any difficulties, you don't have to hide them from me."

"Mr. Jiang, you are very straightforward. I think I can trust you and believe that you will not lie to him or betray him." Jiuwu took out a small black object and pushed it to Jiang Yu secretly, "I know What do you need, as mentioned in the interview, Kim Woo Cheol took all the charges."

"I'm not surprised. If you want to kill Hydra, you have to find the immortal head."

"That's right. Qiu Ang and Crested Ibis Technology are still at large. If you want to completely bring them down, you have to produce conclusive evidence. I can provide you with this." Jiuwu said, "The things in this USB flash drive are mine. The key information collected and preserved in recent years may be able to help you."

Jiang Yu took the hot potato and carried it from the cuff all the way into his pocket.

"Probably what's inside."

"About Qiu Ang, about Alfonso, of course, it is also related to almost everyone in Crested Ibis Technology. No one is immune from it."

"Since when did you start collecting all this?"

"Since I received Shihuan's commission. Remember, don't let Shihuan know about this USB flash drive and everything I gave you today. He is already very angry. I know he doesn't want to see me, and he doesn't want to see me. Clearly he would not accept my help."

"What's going on between you two?"

Jiang Yu bit his lip.

"I lied to him. I will never forgive myself." He confessed, "Mr. Jiang, I lied to a child, a child who is only 12 years old. He trusted me with all his heart and put his last bet on me. .”

"—I never thought that things would develop to this point. I never thought that Qiu Ang would treat him like this. I ruined that child, completely..."
