"Haha, Uncle Cha, you don't understand. The fifty yuan is not for a cup of toast, but for a style of drink. Look at the people around us, wearing suits, shirts and leather shoes. They are all social elites."
"Also, Uncle Cha, please remember that when drinking, you cannot pick it up and drink it directly. You must first tap it with a small spoon like this. This is the rule. In addition, you are not allowed to smoke here. You must speak in a civilized manner. You cannot call the waiter, but call your stomach. Ter.”
"What? Does your stomach hurt?"
"It's not a stomach ache, it's a stomach ache! Stomach... stomach... t... er! That's what the waiter means."
Checking the household registration, he waved his hand impatiently: "Then why doesn't the little girl come?"
“She’ll be here soon, she just called me!
As soon as I finished speaking, Xia Shuishui came in carrying her bag.
"Master Cha! The method you taught me is really amazing! I slept peacefully for two days in a row! I slept until dawn!" Xia Shuishui said happily as soon as he sat down.
"Hey, don't call me master. I dislike these two words. Just call me Uncle Cha like this kid. The main reason I called you out today is because I want to know about your old man."
"My grandfather?"
"Well, has he had any serious life-or-death illness before? Or, has there been any unexpected situation? For example, a car accident or something like that?"
After checking the household registration, he tapped the coffee cup hard with a spoon, then picked it up and took a sip.
Xia Shuishui thought for a minute, shook his head and said: "No, my grandfather will have regular physical examinations. He has always been in good health and has never had any serious illness. As for a car accident, it is even less likely. Except for myself, my father and my grandfather They all have dedicated drivers.”
"You are thinking carefully about it, are you sure?"
Xia Shuishui thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "Maybe there was such an incident when I was a child. It was winter, and we lived in my grandma's old house in Xishan. That night, we burned charcoal for heating. , both my grandfather and my grandmother were poisoned by gas."
"Oh? Is it serious?"
Xia Shuishui nodded and recalled: "It's very serious. When my dad found them in the morning, they were all unconscious. Fortunately, they were rescued after they were sent to the hospital. They were obviously fine before being discharged, but then my grandma suddenly became stupid. Even I didn't recognize her. My grandma passed away within two years. The doctor said she had some kind of delayed encephalopathy."
"Then why is your grandpa okay?"
"I don't know. The doctor said that this disease is related to carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a probabilistic event and not everyone will get it. Maybe my grandpa is in better health."
After hearing this, the household checker sneered: "Oh, I don't think so. There must be something protecting his soul."
Xia Shuishui's face turned pale after hearing this, obviously frightened.
I frowned and said, "We are about the same age. Your grandma died of poisoning, but your grandpa was still alive and kicking without any impact at all. This is a bit abnormal. There is a reason behind anything abnormal. Give me your hand."
I grabbed Xia Shuishui's white little hand, put an egg tart in her palm and said, "The choice is yours now. Do you want us to continue the investigation? If you agree, you can take a bite. If you don't agree, you can Throw it away, Uncle Cha and I are not pursuing this matter, because after all, Uncle Cha and I are outsiders, and this is your internal family matter."
"One thing I want to tell you in advance is that if we find out something bad in the end, such as something related to your mother's sudden death that year, then you have to be mentally prepared."
Xia Shuishui closed her eyes after hearing this. After half a minute, she opened her eyes and said firmly: "I have been tortured for so many years. I want to know what happened to me and my mother. I want to You have to give yourself an explanation!"
After saying that, she picked up the egg tart and took a bite.
Cha Hukou smiled and said: "Little girl, you are very brave. I admire you. Don't worry, I swear by my reputation as Nanping Hukou Cha, I will protect you."
He checked the household registration and said: "I haven't finished the things last time. I want to find something in your house."
"What is it? I can help you find it."
"No, you can't find it. That thing is very evil. It must be hidden in a very hidden place. Even I have to use a compass to guide it.
