Chapter 32: Brothers, let's go out for a drink
Sitting on the electric car, Su He was a little absent-minded. He found A Cai's account on the short video platform. He had more than 12 million fans. Every video was his reviews of gourmet restaurants he visited while traveling around the country. He often went to five-star hotels and spent tens of thousands of yuan at a time.
Ah Cai also has a girlfriend, who is also a big internet celebrity and a beauty blogger with eight million followers, named Annie.
The two live in the capital, but they record videos outside all year round.
Su He simply couldn't imagine Ah Cai as a murderer. He was rich, handsome, and had a girlfriend. How could he be associated with the daughter of a small supermarket owner?
Moreover, Su He remembered that the murderer's dress was no different from that of a normal middle-aged man. Ah Cai was fashionable and trendy. The only thing they had in common was that they were about the same height.
He was suddenly caught in a dilemma . The police refused to provide him with more information, and Ah Cai had no motive to kill. He had a successful career, love, fame and fortune, but it didn't make sense for him to kill the daughter of the owner of a small supermarket.
On the stage, Su He also felt Ah Cai's warm and kind side. Was he overthinking?
Suddenly, the cell phone rang. It was Shen Yuanzhong calling to inform Su He that he would go to the capital the day after tomorrow and that everything had been arranged.
After hanging up the phone, Su He stopped thinking about it and continued to take orders. In order to pay for Shen Yue's treatment, he wanted to earn as much as he could.
"Ding, you have a new takeaway order, please check it in time."
Once Su He got busy, he quickly forgot about Ah Cai's affairs. He took orders, picked up and delivered meals, went up and down the stairs, and continued to deliver meals until one o'clock in the morning. Then he closed the order taking function and found a small restaurant to eat.
Once he stopped, he finally had time to look at his phone, opened WeChat, and saw that several people had sent him messages.
It turned out that the food competition was broadcast live by Jinan TV, and many people noticed the special figure on the stage, a delivery man frying a large pot of fried rice.
Short video platforms and WeChat Moments were also blown up with all kinds of comments.
With so many people at the scene, of course a lot of interesting videos were taken.
Some people paid attention to Su He's appearance, some people scolded him for being ignorant, and some people retorted that Su He's fried rice was delicious.
There were even tens of thousands of people arguing over whether fried rice should appear in a food competition.
Some people even dug up the video of Su He beating up a martial arts school coach. A group of people commented that the delivery men were truly an organization full of hidden talents, but others said that it was all a show to stir up hype.
Su He didn't care. He would resign tomorrow and take a plane to the capital the day after tomorrow. These people's comments would not affect him. He could just watch the fun.
After finishing a bowl of rice with gravy, Su He returned to the Harbor Youth Apartment. As soon as he entered the door, he found Dong Yong and Pan Zhigang whispering, and Ma Mingzhe had not returned yet.
"Su He, Ma Mingzhe's wife and children are here to see him!" Dong Yong said hurriedly to Su He.
"Why are you looking for him?" Su He asked in surprise.
Ma Mingzhe is also a poor man. Two years ago, he had a happy family with a beautiful wife and a well-behaved daughter. But who would have thought that one day when Ma Mingzhe was delivering a takeaway, he happened to deliver the food next door to his house. He thought that since it was so close to home, he went back to see his precious daughter and give her a surprise.
When I opened the door, I was really surprised to see a strange man rolling around with his wife on the bed, and his daughter was watching Peppa Pig in the living room.
Ma Mingzhe was furious and beat the man and his wife. The next day, his wife ran away with their daughter.
He ran away for two years, and his wife was shameless enough to ask him for money every now and then. Later, Ma Mingzhe would rather spend all the money and give it as rewards to the anchor than give her any.
I didn't expect that he would come to my door directly this time.
Only Dong Yong and Su He knew about this, and Pan Zhigang only found out about it today.
Usually Ma Mingzhe would only say that his wife was taking care of the children in his hometown, but in fact his wife ran away with another man .
Suddenly, the cell phone rang . In the "Top 1 Brothers Communication Group", Ma Mingzhe sent a message: Brothers, come out for a drink.
By the time Su He and the others arrived at Liu Sanjie's restaurant, Ma Mingzhe had already drunk a bottle of white wine.
"Come, let's drink some white wine tonight. Everyone sit down. What are you standing there for?" Ma Mingzhe poured wine for everyone with a smile and did not mention anything about his wife and children.
Dong Yong was usually close to Ma Mingzhe, and knew that Ma Mingzhe was just in a bad mood, so they soon started drinking together.
Su He and Pan Zhigang did not drink because they would have to carry the two men back later.
Not long after, Ma Mingzhe began to tell a story, saying that his wife brought their daughter to ask him for money, and seeing his daughter wearing shabby clothes, he gave the woman another three thousand yuan.
The plot was very old-fashioned. Su He had long been tired of Ma Mingzhe's stories, but Pan Zhigang listened with great interest.
At two o'clock in the morning, Dong Yong successfully got Ma Mingzhe drunk and lay down. Su He paid the bill and carried Ma Mingzhe on his back, while Pan Zhigang carried Dong Yong on his back, and they slowly walked towards the Harbor Youth Apartment.
Suddenly, a man wearing a baseball cap and a black mask passed by them.
"Stop!" Su He turned around and shouted at the man.
The man ran away!
Su He carried Ma Mingzhe on his back and tried to put him down, but Ma Mingzhe locked his neck tightly, mumbling: Wife, don't leave me...
Seeing the man disappear into the night, Su He had no choice but to continue walking forward with Ma Mingzhe on his back.
"Su He, what's wrong?" Dong Yong thought Su He was asking him to stop.
"It's okay, let's go..."
…
The next day, Su He was awakened by the sound of police sirens early in the morning. He instantly jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and rushed out.
Opposite the Harbor Youth Apartment is a group of self-built houses, and a large number of migrant workers also rent houses there. Not everyone is willing to live in a small house with several people.
When Su He got downstairs, he just happened to see the police car turning in, and followed it without saying a word.
A cordon has been set up in front of a five-story building, and several policemen are questioning the person who called the police.
There were a lot of people watching, and Su He also mixed in the crowd.
The person who called the police was a woman, probably in her twenties. She was very nervous and pale, obviously frightened. She kept repeating, "Someone's dead...Someone's dead..."
Seeing this, the police took her away.
After a while, Su He saw Officer Wen and his group rushing over.
Thinking back to the man he met last night, Su He regretted not throwing Ma Mingzhe down. Apparently he had killed someone again!
"Su He?" Yang Lin spotted Su He in the crowd.
Su He saw Officer Yang walking towards him and said with a smile, "Good morning, Officer Yang."
"Why are you here?"
"I live nearby. I'll come downstairs for breakfast and visit."
Officer Yang walked in doubtfully.
