Criminal Psychology

Chapter 91 Rice Noodles

In fact, when the waitress mentioned the word Li Jingtian, her eyes clearly drifted, and she felt a little guilty.

Lin Chen didn't have much idea of ​​gossip in the entertainment industry, but he knew that Li Jingtian was a singer, and a few days ago, he was scolded badly by a fan of a big star because of a certain piece of gossip.

He doesn't really remember exactly why Li Jingtian was scolded. After all, when he was watching the news, he was sitting in Su Fengzi's ward, enduring the other party's long-winded and nagging far beyond ordinary people. However, gossip in the entertainment industry is no exception. Who said something and offended someone, was scolded badly by whose fans, or who and who did something bad was photographed, causing an uproar among netizens.

In short, it is similar. Although it has nothing to do with you, you will be attracted to things involuntarily.

Lin Chen looked up, seeing the waitress was hesitating to sell free tickets for purchases over 500, and he thought that Li Jingtian's reputation might not be very good.

"No, I still want this rice noodle platter."

At this time, Wang Chao had read through the entire menu, and he waved his hand, not intending to give Xing Conglian a real meal.

As he spoke, he ordered the cheapest food in the entire menu except drinks, licked his lips, and looked very happy.

The face of the waitress was a little dark. Of course, ordering only staple food in a restaurant is a very aggressive behavior.

But seeing that the young man had already closed the menu with a firm attitude, she did not continue to sell it.

Lin Chen was then regarded as the next target person: "Then what would you like to order, sir?"

The person who has the most requirements for food has already made a choice, and following the order is the best choice, so Lin Chen put down his teacup and said simply: "Me too."

This time, the face of the waitress could no longer be described as ugly: "Don't you need to order something more, our special dish Caiyunzhinan is still highly recommended..."

"No, no, no, I've done some research. The other dishes in your store don't look expensive, but the price/performance ratio is very low. It's just that the presentation is good." Without Lin Chen opening his mouth, the dynasty was already talking, "That Caiyun Zhinan Just cut some beef and sashimi, put some spring rolls on the lettuce leaves, it looks like a peacock's tail, but what's the use of looking good, I think your scores on the online review..."

Lin Chen couldn't help but want to laugh, being too smart is really easy to cause trouble, he put his hand on the boy's head, and motioned him to save some face for the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, the waitress turned to him directly and asked him awkwardly: "Then, sir, do you need any other drinks?"

"Give me a glass of orange juice." Lin Chen replied.

"I also want a rice noodle platter and a cup of Coke." Before the waitress could ask, Xing Conglian answered in advance, and said it very naturally.

The waitress seemed too lazy to say anything, she nodded, wrote down the menu, turned around and left.

Wang Chao was playing wine cards on his seat. He opened and closed the two transparent panels, having a great time.

Perhaps it was because the three of them thought it was too shabby to order only three main dishes when they entered the restaurant, and the young couple at the next table also started whispering and talking about something.

Anyway, gossip is mostly those words.

"Are they saying that we are poor?" Chao Chao closed the drink plate and asked Xing Conglian next to him.

"Why are your ears so good?" Xing Conglian asked while drinking his tea with a smile.

"Because I grew up surrounded by all kinds of discrimination, I am particularly sensitive to such sarcastic remarks." Wang Chao whispered.

"It doesn't look like you're mentally healthy. Who brought you up so well, Mr. Wang." Xing Conglian continued to tease him.

"Why don't we refund the order while the food is not served?" Chao Chao put the drink order, and suddenly tugged on Xing Conglian's cuff.

"What's the matter with you, isn't it just because you want to eat the rice noodles here that you made a fuss to come here?" Xing Conglian put away his smile and asked seriously.

"Damn, how do you know, don't casually poke into the privacy of teenagers, okay?" Wang Chao clutched his chest and shrank into the corner.

"Who was watching TV and held my hand in front of the commercial and said excitedly, 'Boss, the Yunnan rice noodle in Caiyunjian looks like a monkey eating it'!"

Xing Conglian vividly imitated the tone of the dynasty, causing the young man's face to flush immediately: "I, I, I are not that greedy!"

"Eat whatever you want, I've come so far." Xing Conglian said with a smile.

Lin Chen has been sitting quietly, listening to Xing Conglian's rare words of comfort, he raised his head, glanced at him, and asked Wang Chao: "Why do you want to leave all of a sudden?"

"I suddenly feel that they are so annoying." While Wang Chao was speaking, he began to fold the napkins on the table again, "Push that one and then another, I just want to eat rice noodles, eat rice noodles, Boss, I finally know why you like it so much Big food stall."

Hearing this, Xing Conglian was also speechless: "The food stall is very good, but occasionally I have a bit of style, okay?"

"What happened to the food stall?" Lin Chen interrupted Xing Conglian.

"There won't be so many people at the food stalls to control what you eat." Wang Chao folded a rose with a paper towel and opened it again, "Boss, why don't we not eat it?"

If it was an ordinary parent, they would probably break the bear's legs, but Xing Conglian was very happy. He rubbed Wang Chao's head and said, "Finally I know that I can help Dad save money. Dad is very relieved."

"Get out, don't take advantage of me." The young man knocked off his hand.

Lin Chen almost wanted to laugh, Wang Chao talked inside and out, he was like a kid from a poor family clamoring to go to a restaurant and looking at the menu and thought it was too expensive. Although the situation was different, the general mood was not much different.

Xing Conglian was also very speechless: "So you have a rebellious mentality, don't you believe it or not, I will order every dish once."

He spoke with confidence, and it was rare for Lin Chen to have the urge to caress his forehead. He hurriedly interrupted Xing Conglian again, rubbed Chao Chao's head, and whispered, "Why do you care what other people say?"

Wang Chao glanced back, and said impatiently, "But it's very uncomfortable that someone forces you to make a choice."

"Who forced you, isn't the right to choose in your own hands?"

"I just think...why do they care about what I eat? I'm happy to order a glass of orange juice here...why do I seem to be looked down upon if I order something missing? What if I don't order it?"

Wang Chao talked and talked, but couldn't continue.

"Yeah, you're right." Lin Chen said, "You think that if you just want to eat rice noodles, then you only eat rice noodles. This is a very rational choice. For example, I think orange juice is very good and I want to drink a glass of it. , it’s the same principle, it’s just eating, just be casual.”

"but!"

"I said, Mr. Wang, have you been adolescent and depressed lately?" Xing Conglian tapped Wang Chao's head with his chopsticks, "This is essentially a matter of 'none of your shit' and 'none of my shit'. Trouble, you can use these two sentences to solve it, it’s hard for you to be entangled in this kind of thing, is it because you haven’t read enough books recently?”

Lin Chen thought that the dynasty would retort again, but the young man started to make a sentence very seriously: "It's none of your business what I want to eat, it's none of my business what you say about me behind my back?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have suddenly realized, patted the table lightly, and said seriously, "Boss, how do you know that I haven't studied recently, am I a little stupid?"

"Indeed, how long has it been since you borrowed a book?"

The dialogue between the two switched very quickly. If Lin Chen hadn't gotten used to this style a long time ago, he would probably be confused now.

The topic has drifted all the way, from rice noodles to library reading records.

Lin Chen was also very surprised. In fact, Xing Conglian's family really didn't have half a book, and Chao Dynasty was more playful than the sky. Now that he heard them discussing the topic of reading, he still needed to go over his head before he realized it. Until they are really talking about reading.

"Did you monitor my library card records?" Wang Chao sat up straight suddenly.

"Why do I need to monitor? You play games every day and every night biubiubiu, can't I hear you next door?" Xing Conglian asked.

"Isn't that because you haven't given me a book list for a long time?"

"Blame me?"

"Don't blame who you blame?"

At this moment, Lin Chen noticed Xing Conglian's gaze looking at him. Holding the water glass, Lin Chen met Xing Conglian's gaze.

"In the future, let your elder brother Ah Chen write you a book list, and you will not be under my control."

Hearing what Xing Conglian said, he raised his eyebrows, expressing that he couldn't understand: "What?"

"It's seven books a month, that's it." Wang Chao said.

Seven books a month, about [-] books a year. Although it is a lot, it is completely within the range that can be read. The key point is that this number is almost the upper limit of the number of books borrowed per card per month in all libraries.

"Your boss made the book list for you, and you go to the library to borrow books?"

"That's right, boss is stingy!" Wang Chao looked like my boss had a lot of crimes, "But Ye can't blame him too much, mainly because we basically didn't live in every place for a long time before, and buying books was too wasteful. And moving is very troublesome, so I went to the library to borrow it, but you said that now we..."

Xing Conglian coughed lightly, interrupting Wang Chao's words, he lifted his chin, and saw that the previous waiter just happened to bring rice noodles over.

Chao Chao rubbed his hands happily, reached out to take the tray and started to eat, completely forgetting what he wanted to say earlier.

Lin Chen looked at the captain of the criminal police sitting opposite him, and saw that the other party lowered his head slightly, as if his attention was completely attracted by the rice noodles, and he was devouring it, and he was not afraid of the heat.

It's just that the appearance is not sincere enough, and it is obvious that the interruption is too blunt, so I am very embarrassed.

It's really interesting that I have lived without a fixed place for several years, but I still think about my children's education.

Lin Chen shook his head, thinking so.

Everyone has their own secrets, that's the obvious thing.

No matter how close and heart-to-heart your relationship is, you still have some things that you don't want the other party to know.

It may be the dark side of human nature, or it may be those unspeakable desires. In short, having reservations does not mean that he does not trust you or you do not trust him, and there is even no necessary connection between being close to the relationship.

There is always something that cannot be said.

Lin Chen was very calm about these things.

He suddenly remembered that at the lake that night, Xing Conglian still didn't ask him about Huang Ze, about the past of the Chen family and him, let alone what happened to the case back then.

Although he also said that when Xing Conglian brought the wine, he must answer all the questions.

but……

Lin Chen suddenly felt that what Su Fengzi said was not too wrong.

……

After the meal, the rain outside the window became heavier again.

Going home in the rain was certainly not a good choice, but what was unprecedented was that Comrade Wang Chao didn't clamor to go to the Big World Playground on the third floor to kill everyone, but actually dragged them and started walking in the shopping mall.

The smooth floor tiles reflect the gentle light, and the spotlights in the glass window are bright.

Chao Chao seemed to be full, and walked slowly. He raised his head to look around occasionally, and then lowered his head to think about something, as if he was counting something.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian and asked.

"There are many possibilities..." Xing Conglian smacked his mouth, feeling helpless, "The first possibility is that he is playing Assassin's Creed in his head, the second possibility is that he is calculating how to capture this shopping mall in the shortest time, and... ..."

Really can't rest for a moment, Lin Chen asked: "What else?"

"The other thing is to observe the cameras here and calculate the coverage and dead angle range."

"Bingo, boss, you are so smart!"

Dynasty suddenly stopped in front of the huge coconut tree in the hall, he looked up at the coconut tree in front of him, and said this.

Looking at the atrium from that giant tree, the canopy is already on the fourth floor. A huge poster is hung on the tree. On the poster is a man with a refreshing smile, who is extending his hand, as if welcoming visitors from all over the world.

"On May [-], the opening ceremony of Ansheng International Shopping Center, Li Jingtian invites you to come and see it."

Dynasty read out the words on the poster word by word: "It turns out that this place is still in trial operation...so what kind of fan meeting is actually a gimmick for the opening ceremony?"

"Probably so, what's the problem?" Lin Chen asked.

"The problem is nothing, but the poster is too big, blocking the wide-angle monitoring."
