Chapter 2466 Disguise
After a while, the grilled fish on the charcoal fire was already cooked. The waiter carefully peeled off the hot black skin, revealing the steaming tender white fish meat.
I casually folded two branches, cut them into chopsticks with a knife, picked up the fragrant and tender white fish meat, put it into my mouth, and tasted it slowly.
He chewed it slowly and carefully, chewing almost every mouthful of fish at least thirty or forty times, and then swallowed it slowly with a look of enjoyment.
This action was repeated dozens of times, and the tender white fish meat was completely eaten, leaving only the charred fish skin and the white fish bones.
After doing all this, the waiter bent down, collected the fish skins and bones into a pile, wrapped them in paper, and then turned around and walked deeper into the forest.
Are you looking for a place to bury the garbage?
I frowned and thought for a while, then raised my hand and gestured towards the dense forest. Suddenly, there was a slight tremor among the trees that were originally silent, as if a small animal was passing by.
No longer paying attention to the whereabouts of the waiter who was burying the trash, I started cooking the barbecue.
But before the barbecue, I called the head waiter and asked carefully about the origin of the food in the safe and who delivered it.
After confirming that everything had passed through the hands of the foreman, I took some with confidence, put them on a tray aside, and added coal to the grill to add fire.
When I was doing the preliminary preparations for the barbecue, I called the foreman again and asked him about the life of the waiter who went to bury garbage deep in the forest.
After thinking for a moment, the foreman said: "He joined the department not long ago on the recommendation of a big local merchant."
"When I first came here, he exuded a gloomy temperament, which made it difficult for people to get close to him. But after getting along with him for a long time, I got used to his melancholy temperament. To use a popular saying, he is called Wen Qingfan. Son."
The head waiter had a rare moment of humor and smiled flatteringly at me, and I smiled politely in return.
"What's his usual working status like?"
"Average." The foreman shook his head repeatedly and said, "Very average. He doesn't look like he's good at serving people. His movements when carrying plates, bowls, and things are also very stiff, as if others owe him money."
"And he also eats very hard. When he first came here, he refused to eat anything. Later, when he got hungry, he ate, but he always showed a look of difficulty swallowing, which made us feel depressed. Over time, Then no one will eat with him.”
I nodded and asked, "What kind of work will he be responsible for this time?"
"Follow-up cleaning" the leader said: "He is responsible for cleaning up the garbage. Sir, do you have any special arrangements?"
The foreman looked at me respectfully and flatteringly: "If you have any arrangements, please directly issue the personnel transfer order, and I will fully cooperate!"
"No, nothing." I shook my head and said, "Let him clean it, but don't let him come near the food."
The foreman was curious, but still readily agreed.
Just when the barbecue was about to be completed, the waiter finally came back. This trip to bury the garbage must have been very long, otherwise it would not have taken nearly half an hour.
After the waiter came back, he continued to stand at his post, as if nothing had happened.
After the barbecue was completed, the head waiter and I plated the food and delivered it to the stone platform by the lake.
The stone platform is not naturally formed, but placed artificially. It was probably the officials of Blue Crystal Town who built a round stone table and several cylindrical stone benches here in order to better facilitate tourists to rest and have picnics. .
After taking out the knives, forks and chopsticks, they were placed on the trays. After the three Queens and the two elders washed their hands, the luncheon finally began.
This meal was eaten in silence, not because there were no topics for conversation, but because of the power of delicious food.
There is still a big difference between live fish and fresh fish. The last time she ate fresh fish, Queen Medusa's expression was not so happy, but this time she ate freshly killed live fish, and the queen's face showed happiness and satisfaction. expression.
Seeing this expression, I was looking forward to her reaction after eating white fish. After all, the deliciousness is not comparable to that of mere lake fish and sea fish.
After lunch, they continued to explore the scenery, chatting in low voices, or chanting poems loudly, leisurely and contentedly.
And I left alone and walked deeper into the forest.
A hundred meters into the forest, a figure suddenly jumped up to me. It was so fast that it seemed like it came out of thin air.
Leaning against the tree, I asked in a low voice: "What did you find?"
"Nothing unusual about the behavior, though."
"But what?"
"Those burnt fish skins have a peculiar smell."
"Stink? What smell?"
"I don't dare to make any guesses, but I can be sure that it is definitely not the smell of burnt fish skin."
"Has it been tested for poison?"
"Not yet."
"Go now, immediately, immediately, but you must do it without leaving any trace, do you understand?"
"yes."
The smartly dressed assassin responded, stood up, whistled, and disappeared into the jungle, never to be seen again.
The disciples trained by Boss Renn have several specialties. One is their strong concealment ability, the other is their strong actual combat strength, and the third is their mastery of rich tactical knowledge.
Among them, poison testing is an essential tactical knowledge.
After walking around in the woods for more than ten minutes, I heard footsteps behind me. The steps were a little heavy and a little frivolous. They were not assassins.
Turning around, I saw it was the head waiter.
After seeing me, the head waiter took a few breaths and said: "My lord, your majesty, your majesty has asked you to go back."
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"I don't know."
"Let's go then." I pursed my lips and said, "Lead the way."
The foreman said "Oh" and led the way with even steps, not as frivolous and messy as before.
As we walked, I asked, "How did the grilled white fish taste just now?"
"Reporting to your lord, it tastes great. Your craftsmanship is simply exquisite, my lord."
puff!
There was a muffled sound.
The tip of the knife pierced the skin, and the blade sank into the defenseless body.
The head waiter's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, and he looked at me painfully: "Sir, why?"
"Stop pretending, you low-level assassins."
With a strong push, he pushed the foreman to the ground, pulled out the demon knife, and said coldly: "I never grilled white fish just now, and the road I am taking now is not the way back."
"It's commendable that you noticed that I have a good relationship with the head waiter and pretended to be him to deceive me, but you ignored more details, but these have nothing to do with you."
Looking at the foreman who was lying on the ground with pity, his expression gradually turned ferocious, I said calmly: "Tell me, who are you and who instructed you? If you are willing to confess truthfully, I will let you live. Of course, you can also choose to give you a life." You choose to die happily, I give you ten seconds."
