[Comprehensive Yingmei] I have special skills to solve crimes

No matter how fast the case was solved, it was already night when the plane arrived in Seattle.

Garcia came earlier than them, booked the hotel early, and waited for a few people to pack their luggage and go to dinner.

I was very tired from flying back and forth twice a day, so I had dinner at a Chinese restaurant near the hotel.

Al and JJ smiled and said a few words beside them, and handed the menu to Shea, "Would you like some?"

Xi Ya was also polite and called the waiter.

The waiter was a young Chinese girl. When she saw her hometown, her face flushed with excitement: "I haven't seen a Chinese in Seattle for a long time. What do you want to eat? Do you need my recommendation?"

I am a stranger in a foreign land alone, and I miss my relatives every festive season.

On the back of the red menu, written in small lines, there is a feeling of nostalgia, and it is entrusted with the longing for the motherland and the homeland of the people who have been wandering abroad for many years.

Xi Ya understands her excitement when she sees fellow villagers outside, and accepts her kindness: "Do you have any recommendations?"

The little girl is a college student who works part-time in a restaurant and includes three meals, so she basically ate all the dishes here.

"The old chef is not here today. Let me recommend some delicious dishes made by this chef. Hot and sour potato shreds, fish head with chopped peppers, radish pork ribs soup, Tianshui tofu, Dongpo pork, and I remember lettuce, come here A plate of garlic and lettuce, you can order the rest, anyway, you will definitely not be able to eat such authentic Chinese food outside."

She patted her chest proudly.

In foreign countries, in order to cater to the tastes of local people, it is really difficult for chefs to eat authentic Chinese food.

Xi Ya wanted to eat, but she still had to worry about the tastes of other people at the same table. She blinked and teased and asked, "Would you like to try authentic Chinese food today?"

"Authentic Chinese food? Is it different from what we usually eat?" Al asked curiously.

Xi Ya flicked the menu with her index finger, "The owner and chef of the restaurant are from Chongqing, Sichuan. The taste is more spicy than spicy. To cater to your taste, it is light and light, which is very different from real Chinese food. Today we You can eat authentic Sichuan cuisine here, but it’s a bit spicy, can you eat spicy food?”

"Can you do it!"

After finally having the opportunity to eat authentic Chinese food, several people nodded their heads quickly regardless of whether it was spicy or not.

Rhett silently put down his hand, thinking about how many glasses of water he would drink later.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Xi Ya spread out the menu, "A few dishes you suggested, add a few more, steamed eggs, dry pot cauliflower less spicy, sweet-scented osmanthus mochi, langli white strips, braised eggplant with soybeans, Let's do this first."

The little girl took the menu excitedly, and ran to the back kitchen, ready to give the chef a few instructions.

It was relatively late, and there were not many people eating in the restaurant, and they had the largest table with the most people.

After ordering, Garcia opened his mouth to chat: "Red, did you join hands with Shia to solve the case today?"

Rhett bit his straw and nodded.

Garcia asked again: "Xia, your marksmanship is really accurate!"

Shia just bit down on the straw, and nodded for no reason.

Unknowingly, Shea and Rhett were sitting side by side. At this moment, the two of them lowered their heads and bit the straw together, which seemed terribly similar.

Morgan put down his glass and covered his mouth.

Al and JJ made eye contact, and everything was kept silent.

The old gods Gideon and Hotchner are here, not involved.

Shia felt that something was wrong, and the foot under the table couldn't help kicking Rhett.

Rhett trembled, his eyes slightly aggrieved: What are you kicking me for?

Is this guy really the blushing and thick-necked person who was arguing with her on the plane just now about abnormal psychology?

Shea rolled her eyes silently, thinking about the feasibility of going to the kitchen to change the menu now.

There were not many customers, and the food came out quickly.Hot and sour potato shreds, chopped pepper fish head, and Tianshui tofu come first.

Morgan was still looking forward to the authentic Chinese food, but when he saw the red oil served, his dark face turned even darker: "Xia, are you sure you can eat it?"

A bachelor who has been away for three meals a long time, why doesn't he know about Chinese chili, which is as famous as Japanese wasabi?

When a dish is served, I don’t see what’s underneath, but only the layer of chili peppers on the top. Is this chili pepper or chili pepper?

Unmoved, Xia stretched out her chopsticks and took a chopstick to prove it with practical actions.

"Well, it's delicious."

The little girl who had just put the dishes on squinted her eyes and happily ran back to the back kitchen.

Some people ate it first, and their faces were still normal. Several people tasted it with a half-believing attitude.

Huh, not bad?

"It's just spicy and delicious!" Morgan, who was the first to question, was the first to praise it.

Al pulled a tissue and gave a thumbs up.

Everyone praised it one after another, except for Reid who looked at the bright red and did not move.

Rhett... It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but he doesn't know how to use chopsticks yet.

Seeing that everyone was eating, he took a peek at the way Xi Ya was holding the chopsticks, stretched them out, clicked them, and dropped them.

Several people lowered their heads to eat, as if they didn't see anything.

Anyway, he is a favorite of the group, try to give him some face in front of girls.

Rhett didn't believe in evil, and pinched, clattered, and fell again.

It's hard for Shia not to pay attention.

No matter where he fell and got up, Rhett persevered in grabbing the piece of fish. Others ate several pieces, and he was still trying to adapt to the use of chopsticks.

Shea reluctantly put down her chopsticks, held his hand, and taught him hand in hand.Rhett's hand was hotter than hers, like holding a warm baby.

"You're using the wrong place. What chopsticks need is not the flexibility of your fingers. Look, it should be like this. Pay attention to your knuckles. Yes, that's it."

Shea taught and demonstrated again, and Rhett got started quickly and caught the fish.

I was happy to learn how to use chopsticks, and put the piece of chopped pepper fish head that I finally won after many struggles into my mouth. The spiciness spread on the tip of my tongue without warning, and every taste bud danced ballet excitedly.

Reid was so hot that he stared, a little confused, this amount, "Shouldn't it?"

Xia Ya was amused by his cute and ignorant appearance, and passed the warm water prepared in advance, "There are different types of peppers, this should be Weiyuan Qixing pepper from Sichuan, the skin is relatively thin, and the spiciness is mellow, which is different from the ones used in ordinary restaurants. Chili is different."

Gulu Gulu, Rhett drank a whole glass of water, still feeling like his taste buds were dancing in Swan Lake hand in hand.

He didn't dare to poke the fish again, and scooped up a spoonful of Tianshui tofu. The taste of the tofu was relatively mild, clear and light, slightly suppressing the spiciness.

Leaving aside the chili peppers, I picked tender yellow shredded potatoes.Shredded potatoes are finely sliced ​​and fried over high heat, retaining a taste between half-cooked and cooked, slightly sour and slightly spicy, which is drizzle compared to the spicy fish head with chopped peppers.

The little girl brought a few more dishes. Seeing that the fish head with chopped peppers was almost eaten, she asked Xi Ya with a smile: "How is it? I told the chef that a Chinese girl came to eat today. When he was happy, he brought out the seven-star fish head from his collection." Pepper, isn’t the chopped pepper fish head very exciting?”

Shia gave a thumbs up, "Great!"

The chef opened the back door wide, and everyone's mouths and eyes were red with a meal, and they were extremely satisfied.

Early the next morning, the investigation continued.

The doll case involved everyone in bau, and had nothing to do with the local Seattle police, so they gathered in Garcia and Shia's room to handle the case.

Garcia hacks into the post office and pulls up the surveillance footage from the day Shia delivered the package.

Surveillance showed that there were no suspicious persons before and after Xia entered the post office.Garcia stretched the time, three days ago at four o'clock in the afternoon, a man wearing a peaked cap came to send things, eight packages, the same as the one received by bau, seven small and one big.

"That doesn't make sense."

Xia frowned, and the man pressed his hat against the surveillance camera so he couldn't see his face clearly, "Buy things and send them to the post office. It just so happens that this post office is the closest. On my whim, how could he arrange it three days ago?"

Al said: "But you have to admit that other than him, no one else is suspected."

At least, there is no such a big suspicion: send eight couriers at once, seven small and one big, it is a coincidence, who will believe it?

Gideon looked at Shea and pointed out a few points: "Who knows your plan, who knows that you will come to Seattle that day, knows your route, and knows that you will send things back to China?"

JJ had a thought, "Xia, what did you want to give to Rhett, and what did you want to send back to China?"

"Red was given a book in my bag."

As Xia said, she took out a book from her bag. The pages were slightly old, but from the edges and corners of the pages, it could be seen that the owner of the book was well protected, "Murder on the Orient Express by Alasha Christine Case", 1979 edition."

She said she would give Rhett a big birthday present, and she did.

"Version 1979?"

Rhett's eyes lit up, he took the book, and touched the cover carefully, his love was beyond words.

Shia thought for a while, and then answered Gideon's question: "Fox knows that there are people who will come back that day, but they only know that I am going home, they don't know that I am going from Seattle to Quantico and then back to New York. I am the one who sent it back to China." I bought some things in Fox and Seattle and sent them to my friends, this habit has been around for a long time.”

So, no one knows.

So, how did that person know?

Everyone couldn't help being silent.

Seeing Rhett so happy, Garcia looked it up and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

JJ was also shocked when he saw it.

"Murder on the Orient Express" is the most famous of Arasha Christine's series of detective novels. It has been published countless times around the world, and it has also been made into animation and movies.

The most controversial one was published in 1979. This edition has a total of 200 copies. It was published by the Duke of Berkeley at his own expense. He participated in everything from typesetting to production. It is a collector's edition made of the best materials available in that year.

On the day the book was published, the Duke of Berkeley was shot dead in his study, clutching the book tightly with bloody hands.Three days after his death, a fire broke out at the castle of the Duke of Berkeley. After the fire, all the valuables in the castle disappeared.

Some people say that the Duke of Berkeley buried all his treasures and treasures in this book; others say that this book hides the biggest scandal of the British royal family at that time, so Berkeley was silenced.

Both are British, and both are English originals. Berkeley has indeed changed a lot in terms of words and layout.

Coupled with the death of the Duke of Berkeley, the controversy has lasted for more than 50 years, and no one has clarified it.

Undoubtedly, this is a precious collection of books.

It was so precious that Rhett didn't know what to say, "I, you..." He opened his mouth, "How did you get it?"

How did Shia get the collector's edition of 200 copies around the world?

Xi Ya shrugged, with a high-handed and cold expression of "don't be obsessed with my sister, it's just a legend", "I..."

"Here—" Gao Han called.

Shia's face darkened.

Let her pretend to be a b, will she die?
