Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 20 Mask Doubts
Moran never expected that the address Xiao Taohong gave her was Liao Yongli's restaurant.

How is this going?Could it be that Liao Yongli was lying?Moran looked at the line of Chinese characters describing the address on the webpage, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Could it be that Liao Yongli bought the cosmetics in the first place?It's just that he doesn't admit it?Or maybe, that girlfriend just asked the courier to deliver the cosmetics to him, and then called the courier to pick it up?Is this too complicated?It's impossible to buy cosmetics and make it so complicated without knowing that a murder will happen later.So the greatest possibility is that a certain woman ordered cosmetics online, and then asked Liao Yongli to bring them to her, or to give them to her when she came to the restaurant. It seems that the previous guess is the most likely.

But Liao Yongli insisted on this. She called him again later, but he just refused to say who the mask was for. Could it be that he was protecting someone?Moran didn't want to tell Gao Jing about the mask for the time being, because she felt that he would definitely not think the mask was important, and he was busy looking for more direct evidence and motivation now.Dai Rou and Zhao Yanshu's motive for killing is jealousy, so what about Jiang Rongxi, does she have a potential motive for killing?Don't know what he got.

Moran stood up from the computer and decided to study the mask.At this moment, the door "clicked" open, and Jonah's afro squeezed in.

"You're back." Moran greeted her languidly. My cousin got off work a little early today. She usually doesn't come in until 8 o'clock, but today she arrived home at 7 o'clock.

"Why, can't I go home early?" Jonah rolled her eyes with goldfish eyes.

"have you eaten yet?"

"No, what's there to eat at home?" Jonah blew into the kitchen like a whirlwind.

Since the divorce, Moran has moved back in with her cousin Jonah.Jonah had lived here alone before.When Jonah's husband passed away, it happened that they sold the house and planned to buy a new one, but because of her husband's sudden death, the house was not sold.Moran's mother always treated this rude and ill-fated niece as her own, and loved her very much. Therefore, Jonah has been staying with Moran's parents since then.The relationship between Moran and Jonah has always been very good.

Seeing her cousin enter the kitchen, Moran also followed.

"There's only one bowl of duck soup, why don't I make you a bowl of duck noodle soup, put some vegetables in it, it must taste very fresh."

Jonah is not good at cooking, and when they are at home, Moran is always in charge of cooking, which has become a convention between the two of them.

"Duck noodle soup?" Jonah swallowed, nodded immediately, "That's great."

"What do you eat when I'm not around?" Moran asked her while boiling water.

Jonah laughed gruffly: "You're not here, of course I'm going out to eat, should I do it myself?"

"Yeah, I've become your servant." Moran glared at her.

Ten minutes later, a steaming bowl of duck noodle soup was ready. Jonah walked to the dining table with the noodle bowl in his hand and began to eat happily.

Moran sat across from Jonah studying the large bag of colorful CNM self-service masks.She compared the Chinese manual that Xiao Taohong sent her while unpacking it.

One pack for dry, one pack for oily, one pack for combination, one pack for sensitive, and one pack for neutral.

Look at the manual again.

Dry skin: Earthy yellow powder, extracted from walnut, has nourishing and moisturizing effects on the skin.Pour the powder into a container, add a bowl of water, about 25ml, mix thoroughly, apply on the face, and peel off after three to 10 minutes.

Combination: green powder, extracted from green papaya, has the effect of removing oil on the T zone that is prone to oil, and can deeply clean pores.

Sensitivity: White powder, colorless and odorless, without alcohol and fragrance, suitable for sensitive skin.

Oily: yellow powder, containing traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, has the effect of deep cleaning pores, removing excess oil and acne.

Neutral: light yellow powder, extracted from lemon, has the effect of moisturizing and whitening.

While making the mask at Du Xiaomei's house, Moran was groggy and just wanted to sleep.But when she was in a daze, she used to feel that something was wrong, as if something was flying by the corner of her eyes, but she didn't know what it was, but now, after reading the manual, she already understood that the problem was in the where is it.

"Hey, what's that?" Jonah asked while eating noodles.

"Self-help facial mask, we made it at Du Xiaomei's house." Moran said, she was very eager to talk now.

"You did this at her house?" Jonah looked curiously at the pile of things in her hand.

"That's right. Du Xiaomei completely confused the masks we made ourselves." Moran said.

"What do you mean? Confused?"

"Dai Rou has mixed skin, Du Xiaomei asked her to use it for normal skin, I have dry skin, she asked me to use it for sensitive skin, Rong Xi has sensitive skin, she asked Rong Xi to use it for mixed skin Yes, only she and Zhao Yanshu are right, they both have oily skin." Moran said while recalling everyone's reaction to the mask at that time.

"Does Du Xiaomei want to disfigure you with this thing?" Jonah asked in confusion, and then smiled, "It's really greedy, destroying three at once."

"I think she may be testing who has used this mask, because she knows that Liao Yongli has also bought the same mask, and it is still in the same store."

"Did she succeed in her temptation?" Jonah swallowed.

"I don't know." Moran really didn't know what Du Xiaomei saw from this experiment, but she was sure that Du Xiaomei had tampered with it.

"Does she suspect that a lover of Liao Yongli used this kind of thing?" Jonah asked suddenly.

"That is what I thought."

"But your skin types are different. Du Xiaomei only needs to ask the seller, what kind of skin cosmetics Liao Yongli bought, and then he will know who it is? Why do you need to go to such trouble and do so many things?"

"I've thought about this a long time ago. I asked the store owner, and she said that there was no record, because she had just opened the store at the time, and she was inexperienced and careless, so when she shipped the goods, she didn't indicate what skin it was on the invoice. The mask used." Moran said, "I guess Du Xiaomei probably asked about it, but because she couldn't ask, she had to make a bad move. But I haven't seen it yet, what she can see from it."

"Damn, what temptation, she just wants to poison your skin!" Jonah shrugged disapprovingly.

"It's no wonder, if I were her, I would go crazy. Liao Yongli is too much, I didn't expect him to be so promiscuous." Mo Lan sighed, a bit regretful that he had been with this playboy for so many years.

"Is there anyone else besides Dai Ping An?" Jonah asked with interest.

"I just found out today that Zhao Yanshu is also involved."

"Damn it, bitter cauliflower also has a share?" Jonah's eyes widened.Because Zhao Yanshu looks very delicate and likes to complain, so Jonah keeps calling her Bitter Cauliflower.

Hearing this nickname, Moran wanted to laugh. Jonah got the real image. Zhao Yanshu is a bit like a bitter cauliflower. She seems to be always in bad luck. Every choice is wrong. There was always nothing she could do about this mistake, except to cry and complain. "I'm so stupid, Moran, I'm so stupid", she kept repeating this sentence while sleeping on the hospital bed that day, after hearing it, Moran no longer sympathized with her, she just felt annoyed, so she believed that Liao Yongli and Zhao Yanshu's personal relationship must be just a play on the spot.

"Yes, she also has a role. She and Liao Yongli always date at a fixed time." When Moran said this, he stopped and thought for a while before continuing, "However, I think Liao Yongli neither loves Dai Rou nor Yan Shu , These are just his smoke bombs, he made them for Du Xiaomei to see." Maybe Liao Yongli was too hesitant about his true feelings, so he always wanted to use some irresponsible ways to resolve and vent.

"You said he has another love?" Jonah asked, chewing on a piece of duck.

"Yes, I think he only loves one person." Moran looked at his cousin, waiting for her to continue.

"Jiang Rongxi." Jonah said immediately.

"He only loves her, but I don't know, whether he has told Rongxi, I don't think so. He saw Rongxi's husband brought other women to dinner, so he deliberately put cockroaches in his soup. I think他是故意的，因为平时他很注意这点。我觉得他是借故想揍他一顿。能够不顾餐厅的名声和利益，为容喜出气，除了爱还有什么更好的理由？”莫兰I wanted to express my thoughts a long time ago.

Jonah finally finished a big bowl of duck noodle soup.

"This case really deserves the name of a movie." Jonah wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Which one?"

""Conspiracy and Love"." Jonah read solemnly like a nun, while standing up, "Have you ever thought that perhaps Liao Yongli did it in the first place."

"What did you say?" Moran was shocked, and then immediately retorted, "Impossible, he is in the detention center."

But Jonah had turned back into the kitchen.

That night, Moran called Dai Rou.

"Huh? What's the matter? Little bitch? You're calling so late." Dai Rou seemed to have fallen asleep, her voice sounded like a blanket, and Moran looked up at the clock on the wall. It was relatively late. , It was already past 11 o'clock, and she herself was hiding under the blanket with a hot water bottle stuffed under her feet.

"Everyone is your own, it doesn't matter if you are late." Moran said, "I will hang up after just asking a few questions."

"You really think of yourself as a detective, isn't this the job of the police? If you have the time, I might as well introduce you to a boyfriend." Dai Rou yawned, "Yesterday our boss' younger brother came, handsome blonde, He is 180 cm tall, has a straight nose, and has dense and thick chest hair..."

"Okay, okay, thank you," Moran interrupted her immediately, and she felt disgusted when she heard the word "chest hair". "Come back to business, you'd better answer my question."

"Okay, you can ask."

"Have you ever used Liao Yongli's account to buy anything online?" Moran asked.

"Little bitch, of course I used it. I bought him a pair of underwear, hahaha." Dai Rou laughed coquettishly on the other end of the phone.

Dai Ping'an's mistress is really crazy.

"Have you ever bought cosmetics?" Moran asked angrily.

"I haven't bought it." Dai Rou replied flatly.

"Why?" Moran blurted out, and immediately felt that his question was really inexplicable.

Dai Rou was really puzzled.

"Why? If I want to buy cosmetics, I can use my account. Besides, if I really want it, I should let him buy it and send it to me. It's too cheap to buy it with his account." Dai Rou said slowly. , Moran seemed to see her playing with her bright red nails.

"Then has he ever given you cosmetics?"

"No." Dai Rou burst into laughter suddenly, and then whispered mysteriously, "He gave me something else. Guess what it is?"

"C-cup sexy bra."

"Ah! You are so smart! Little bitch!" Dai Rou exclaimed, and then lowered her voice, "He later said that he bought the wrong one and should have bought D."

After speaking, Dai Rou giggled.

"He is really good at deceiving women. You have been fooled by him. Do you really want to marry him?" Moran still couldn't believe Dai Rou's change of target.

"He is first-class in everything, you don't know. Yes, I want to marry him, but it doesn't matter if we don't marry, as long as we keep our relationship. I still want to find a foreigner. The boss' brother really He looks good, and I like men with dense chest hair." Dai Rou laughed even more happily.

"But Liao Yongli has no chest hair." Moran said.

"How do you know?" Dai Rou immediately became nervous.

"We've been swimming together."

"He's Asian, so of course he doesn't have that much chest hair, but I still like him, he's very charming, and his ass is a bit up." Dai Rou sighed longingly, and Moran seemed to hear the sound of swallowing.

You wear it safe!Moran cursed in his heart.She now regrets calling Dairou when she was lying in bed late at night, it was torture to listen to her nympho there.

However, Liao Yongli first fell in love with Dai Rou probably because of her casualness. He thought it was a relationship that could be cut off at any time without responsibility, but who knew it would change in nature.

"Since you are so open-minded, why did you ask Du Xiaomei to argue? If you don't argue, who knows what's going on with you?"

"Hey, don't forget, it was Du Xiaomei who found me. She stopped me and said in a fierce tone. She thought I was easy to bully, so I deliberately angered her." Dai Rou said.But this is contrary to her performance when she was with Liao Yongli last time.Moran felt that seeing the two together that time, Dai Rou gave her the impression that she loved Liao Yongli very much.

"I can see it, he just wants to sleep with me. That's it, he doesn't have any sincerity towards me." Dai Rou's voice suddenly became sad again, and then became emotional, "Mo Lan, I'm so unlucky, why isn't there a man They are sincere to me, why do they only want to sleep with me, and forget everything when they get out of bed?" Dai Rou seemed to be about to cry.

Who told you to sell it cheaply? People can buy it for 100 yuan, so why spend [-] yuan?If you treat yourself as a grass, will others treat you as a flower?Moran thought.

But of course she wouldn't say those words.

"You are still young, and there are plenty of opportunities. Don't draw conclusions so early. I believe you will find a suitable partner." Moran could only comfort her in this way.

"You're right. I'm still young, and there are still many men who like me. Let me choose slowly." Dai Rou seemed to be comforting herself, and then asked her, "Do you have any questions?"

"I heard that when you quarreled with Du Xiaomei, you said she had a fake pregnancy? How did you know?"

"Oh, of course I know." Dai Rou sneered and said, "I saw her sanitary napkin."

"Where did you see that?"

"It's the bathroom on the ground floor. There was a package opened, and I knew it hadn't been opened for a while. Didn't you stay there with her? Didn't you find it?" Dai Rou asked.

"Not found." Moran said.Du Xiaomei did urinate in front of her, but she didn't notice whether she was menstruating, nor was she interested in observing the color of Du Xiaomei's urine, nor did she open the cabinet to check.

"It seems that you are still not as smart as I am, only I have noticed."

"How can you be sure that the package of sanitary napkins is now, maybe it was used before and not taken away? It seems not very convincing to use this to judge whether she is pregnant."

"The package of sanitary napkins is placed in the small cabinet next to the toilet. Usually it is only placed next to it when it is needed at any time, and only one is used. Of course, I also know that this is not convincing enough, so I said I I just wanted to annoy her. Then she didn't deny it!" Dai Rou's tone became less confident, and she said, "Don't you know that policeman? You can ask him what forensic report they should have. If you ask him, he must know. If I'm wrong, there's nothing I can do about it."

Ask Gao Jing?Yes, he sure knew, but how embarrassing it was.

Moran suddenly noticed a detail in Dai Rou's words.

"How do you know I know the policeman?"

"I can tell that he knows you just by looking at your state. When he looks at you, his eyes are straight."

"No, he's always been so serious."

Dai Rou giggled.

"I can't be mistaken. But then again, he's handsome, he's big, but instead of being stiff and goofy like a brick, he's just muscular. God, the legs are so long, I can't help but want to touch them."

I'm crazy again, I really can't stand her.Especially when she heard Gao Jing have long legs and wanted to touch them, Moran felt as if seeing his good friend being splashed with dirty water was unbearable.

"Okay, okay, stop talking, he is not as good as you said, I have no other problems, bye." Moran wanted to hang up the phone, but heard Dai Rou yelling over there: "You don't want him , you can give him to me, I like him."

dream!Moran cursed viciously in his heart, then hung up the phone.

Being mentioned by Dai Rou, Moran suddenly remembered that tomorrow is Gao Jing's birthday. December 12.

Moran thought of a notepad of her own. She wanted to see the birthday records on the notepad. After all, she hadn't celebrated his birthday with him for several years, and now she couldn't remember clearly. She didn't know if it was December 12 or 10. , have to look it up.The little notepad that records birthdays is still in the bag that brought bad luck last time. It not only records the birthdays of all friends, but also records their zodiac signs, phone numbers and addresses. Last time she put Du Xiaomei's address Write it down in this notebook.

Moran looked at this brown handbag, thinking about it, I feel sorry for it, this Prada bag used to be her favorite, but these days because of Du Xiaomei's case, she was sidelined, well, look at Gao Jing For the sake of it, come and hurt it now.

She took it off the hanger in the hall, unzipped it and reached in to dig it in, but unexpectedly found a round thing first.She took it out and saw that it was a lip balm.

what!She was taken aback!
At the same time, a light flashed in her mind, could this be the case?
Is it her?

She was so shocked by the conjecture that she almost dropped her lip balm on the floor.

She stared at the lip balm and thought sadly, maybe no matter how you lie and design, people still can't escape the cage they set up.
