Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 18 Remember To Pick Me Up Tomorrow

"Did you ask him what happened to you when you were drunk?"

"I asked. He said he called a substitute driver for me, and he and Zhang Qi personally sent me to the car. I don't know what happened afterwards."

"You're so drunk that they don't mind leaving you in the car?"

"At that time, Zhang Qi and I got into the car together, and he didn't know why I appeared there later."

"Zhang Qi?" Liu Xiaojuan frowned and said, "Tomorrow you can tentatively ask Zhang Qi what happened?"

Tao Hui hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Hearing this, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help asking: "Then did Tao Hui ask Zhang Qi?"

Seeing Tao Hui's blank face, Liu Xiaojuan continued, "I asked, Zhang Qi said that he received a call from home saying that Zhang Qi's father had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital, so he got out of the car halfway."

"Did you get out of the car halfway? If nothing else happened during the period, it is likely that the substitute driver framed Tao Hui."

Lin Nanyue asked aloud, "Where was the victim's body buried?"

Liu Xiaojuan shook her head and said, "Xiaohui didn't say the exact location, only said that he buried the body in the mountain."

"What about the identity of the deceased? Has he mentioned it?"

"No, Xiaohui said he didn't know that man at all."

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"At that time, Xiaohui had already disposed of the body, and the scene was cleaned up. Even if you asked you to investigate, you would find nothing. The suspicion would definitely be locked on Xiaohui. He is still so young. If he is regarded as a murderer, then his Life is ruined."

"At that time, he was drunk and unconscious. How could he kill someone? If you call the police immediately, we can test the alcohol concentration in his body to judge his state at that time, which is likely to rule out his murder suspicion. "

Liu Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, and said regretfully, "If I had thought of this at the beginning, I would have called the police, but it's a pity that it's too late to say anything now."

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Tao Hui and said, "Did you think of anything?"

Tao Hui frowned slightly, and said: "At that time, I heard the sound of talking on the phone in a daze in the car, and then the car stopped, the door was opened and closed again, and after a while, I heard the same voice again... "

"Same sound? Could it be that the door was opened and closed twice?"

Tao Hui shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I just heard it in a daze."

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian and said, "If, as you said, what he heard later was also the sound of the car door opening and closing, it means that someone got into the car after Zhang Qi left."

"It's possible." Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "That driver is the key. Finding him can solve many problems."

Lin Nanyue looked at Liu Xiaojuan and asked, "Aside from Tao Hui, who else used the car in the accident?"

"Xiaohui bought that car newly, and it's a limited edition. It's usually very precious, and no one is allowed to touch it. Except for him, no one has touched it."

"Do you know where he usually goes and who he deals with?"

Liu Xiaojuan looked at Tao Hui and said, "Xiaohui hasn't had a job since he graduated from university, and he spends his days with his friends, but I only heard him mention it occasionally, and I've never seen him."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "As far as you know, does he have a girlfriend?"

"It's not clear. He never took the girl home, and he never heard of it."

Lin Nanyue turned to Qiao Xingnian and said, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Qiao Xingnian thought for a while and said, "Auntie, do you have a picture of that child?"

Liu Xiaojuan was startled, then she understood, and said, "No. But if I see him again, I will definitely recognize him."

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Tao Hui and said, "We should go, do you have anything else to say?"

Tao Hui looked at Liu Xiaojuan and Tao Jian and said, "Dad, Mom, I have to go. You must take good care of your health and don't feel sorry for me. I believe that with the help of Brother Qiao, I will be able to reincarnate smoothly. In the next life I will be reincarnated." I still want to be your son."

Liu Xiaojuan said with red eyes: "Xiaohui, can't you stay with mom?"

"Mom, I have grievances on my body. If I stay with you for a long time, there will be problems with your health. But if I have time, I will ask Brother Qiao to bring me to see you."

Liu Xiaojuan looked at Qiao Xingnian and said gratefully: "Master, thank you so much, thank you for helping Xiaohui."

"Auntie, you don't need to thank me. I didn't do it for free. You will still have to pay me after the matter is over. This is the agreement I signed with Tao Hui."

Hearing this, Tao Jian, who had been silent all this time, seemed relieved, and said, "Fu, as long as Master can help Xiaohui, we will pay no matter how much."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, do you have jade ornaments or peach wood around you? I promised Tao Hui that I will make two amulets for you. Jade ornaments and peach wood are the best materials."

"Yes, yes." Liu Xiaojuan took off a necklace from her neck, and the pendant was made of fine jadeite.

Tao Jian took off the bracelet on his wrist and said, "Master, do you think this will work?"

"Okay, then I'll keep it first, and send it to my uncle and aunt when it's done."

Seeing Qiao Xingnian and Lin Nanyue standing up one after another, Liu Xiaojuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Wait, I'll be right back."

Liu Xiaojuan ran upstairs in a hurry, and ran down again after a while, holding a bank card in her hand, stuffing it into Qiao Xingnian's hand, and said: "Master, there is not much money in it, it's our little wish , I hope Master can take good care of our Xiaohui."

Qiao Xingnian looked at Liu Xiaojuan, seeing the worry and pleading in her eyes, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, then I will accept it, don't worry, auntie, I will help him find out the truth. But I have something to say first, can he Reincarnation depends on whether the person killed him or not, I hope Auntie can understand."

"Forgive, forgive! I believe Xiaohui, that person must not have been killed by him!"

Qiao Xingnian nodded noncommittally, and said, "Uncle and aunt, in order to avoid social panic, you must not tell anyone about seeing Tao Hui."

"I understand. Master, don't worry, we are rotten in our stomachs about what happened today, and we will never reveal a word."

"It's getting late, so let's go back first, and uncles and aunts go to bed early."

They didn't say any more, they got up and left the villa, and Tao Jian and Liu Xiaojuan sent them to the gate.Although Tao Hui was reluctant to part with him, he also understood that humans and ghosts have different paths. The fate between them was broken at the moment of his death, and the current reluctance is his last obsession in this life.

In the car, Lin Nanyue turned to look at Qiao Xingnian and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

"You mean the murder case?" Seeing Lin Nanyue nodding, Qiao Xingnian pondered for a while, and said, "Liu Xiaojuan's expression was natural when she made the statement, and there was no sign of lying. She should have told everything she knew. Tao Jian started His attitude is indeed a bit cold, probably because of the habit he has developed in the mall for many years, keeping himself calm all the time and not being interfered by other factors in his judgment. Neither of them should be lying."

"If Tao Hui wasn't the murderer, why did the grieving ghost come after him?"

Qiao Xingnian explained: "The grieving ghost will only restore the memory of his life, and he may not be able to confirm who the murderer is. For example, if he was attacked from behind and did not see the murderer before he died, then even if he restores his memory, he cannot be sure. Who is the murderer?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "It's very late today, I'll take you home first."

Qiao Xingnian looked at the time on his watch and said, "It's still early, Team Lin will take us to the Xingnian Tea House."

"it is good."

Lin Nanyue had investigated Qiao Xingnian's information, knew his basic information, and naturally knew where the Xingnian Teahouse was.

Qiao Xingnian and Tao Hui got out of the car, bent down to look at Lin Nanyue in the car, and said, "Team Lin, you should be interrogating Liu Zhaogan tomorrow, remember to come to my house to pick me up before going to work in the morning."

Hearing Qiao Xingnian's natural tone, Lin Nanyue couldn't help but rolled his eyes, didn't say much, just stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out in an instant.

Qiao Xingnian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head amusedly, he didn't expect this man to have such an arrogant side.

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Tao Hui, who was always talkative, he didn't speak all the way, and said, "Come on, come in with me for a cup of tea."

Tao Hui nodded, and followed Qiao Xingnian into the teahouse. The moment he opened the door, the lights in the room turned on automatically.The decoration inside is very charming, whether it is furniture or tea sets, they are very delicate, creating an antique atmosphere.

No matter how impetuous the people who come here are, they will slowly calm down and enjoy the rare comfortable and leisurely tea time.

"It's very comfortable here!" Tao Hui looked around curiously.

"Young people like bars, and people who come here are generally people with life experience."

"If I had known there was a place like this, I wouldn't have gone to the bar and probably none of these things would have happened."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "What, do you regret it?"

"What's the use of regretting, it's too late." Tao Hui was a little depressed.

Qiao Xingnian took a can of tea from the shelf, and said while making tea: "Although your life has only passed 25 years, you have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and the love of your parents is what many people dream of. And Some people have lived a long life, but their life has been rough and rough, and they don’t know what it’s like to enjoy life until they die. If you had to choose again, which one would you choose?”

Tao Hui struggled for a while, and said with a wry smile, "Why can't I choose one of them, and have to choose these two extremes?"

"You have a good idea." Qiao Xingnian laughed for a while, and said, "It's not that I haven't enjoyed happiness in my life, so I just died for no reason."

Watching Qiao Xingnian making tea, Tao Hui slowly calmed down, and said, "Boss, you've checked me out, but I only know your name, don't you think that's a little bit wrong?" fair?"
