Chapter 282 Kitchen
"Maybe it's a warning." Xing Ze said suddenly after walking out of the hospital.
Ellie looked at him doubtfully.
"The question just now." Xing Ze explained.
Ellie understood. She bit her lip and thought for a while and said, "I don't understand. How can you tell?"
"Those corpses will initially be sent to the Muggle police station for autopsy. Think about it, smart lady. Those snake men will definitely bring about a bloody storm if they appear in the Muggle police station.
"According to West's words, these snake people will eventually die, which means that they are one-time products, and their purpose is only to cause enough chaos. If according to your theory, as a sacrifice to the gods, why bother The embryos are stored inside? Those four corpses are more like four time bombs. When the time comes - "
"It makes some sense." Ellie loosened her lips, and there was some lipstick on her white teeth. "But you can't rule out that it may be that this series of rituals is needed for those embryos to fully hatch. And if the Muggles open the gifts in advance , then your so-called bomb becomes a dumb bomb."
Xing Ze smiled and said, "Don't forget, miss, there is still poison in the corpse."
"Good, we have a disagreement. What to do next? Obviously, the four corpses are still unidentified, and the whereabouts of the great detective Frank are still unknown. It seems that all roads are blocked."
"Are you hungry?"
In response to Xing Ze's question, Ally looked at her watch and said, "I wouldn't mind having lunch early. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Margaret's, of course, my treat."
"Are you dating me?" Ellie asked, raising her eyebrows.
"I just want to apologize for the offense I just caused."
"Okay, I guess so. Margaret's is a good restaurant, and their evaporated milk banana ice cream pie is famous." Ellie agreed.
"Reservations are required there. But I assume you are a member of the restaurant."
Ai Li nodded, "Yes. I can't help but wonder what you are planning, Xing Ze."
…
The cake, which was only two fingers wide of Xing Ze's, cost twenty pounds. It was just a dessert, and the meal must be more expensive. Xing Ze regretted saying that he was treating guests.
There was no one in the restaurant at this time. Counting Xing Ze, they only had three tables of guests. Whether it was out of revenge or teasing, Ellie ordered a lot of dishes that you knew were expensive just by the names. As for Xing Ze, he simply ordered a pan-fried fish steak.
With the status of a Missy member, they can come in and dine without making a reservation. The front desk manager is still the same, and as for his deputy, the previous male waiter has been replaced by an older woman.
The manager recognized Xing Ze at a glance and asked about what happened last time. Xing Ze casually made up a lie and said that the information helped Mr. Frank a lot.
Ai Li understood Xing Ze's lies well and did not expose Xing Ze's lies, but also added a few words that were appropriate. The words of the distinguished guest made the manager even more confident. He assured the two guests that the restaurant would help any guest in need.
When the main course came, Ellie had only eaten a third of the dessert. She ate elegantly and slowly, as if she was savoring an unparalleled work of art.
"Okay, I have enough energy in my brain and heart. So, let's talk." Ellie said with a napkin pressed gently at the corner of her mouth.
"What do you want to know?"
"This meal costs nearly three hundred and fifty pounds. I didn't let them open the wine, otherwise the price would be higher. I'm worried about your ability to pay."
"A gave me a lot of start-up capital, three hundred gold galleons."
"If I had known, I should have asked them to open a bottle of wine." Ellie smiled, "Enough with the joke, tell me the real purpose of this meal. Stop using ridiculous excuses like apologizing to frustrate me.
"I don't really think you're sorry for the offense you just caused. Then you have other reasons for inviting me to dinner. Of course, you can't be trying to pick me up."
"Maybe I just want to pick you up?"
"Oh, really?" Ai Li held her chin with her hand and narrowed her eyes to look at Xing Ze.
In less than half a minute, Xing Ze begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, to be honest. I think the head chef here knows something. So I want to talk to him."
The eldest lady put away her charming eyes, tilted her head and thought for a moment and said, "Ah, I remembered it. You said that when Frank and the lady met, the head chef was also present, the whole time."
"That's right. Originally, I planned to go in directly through the back door and ask him, but it was a bit risky. You just happened to be here, and I thought of a good idea."
Ai Li stretched out her hand to stop Xing Ze from continuing, "Let me reveal the mystery after lunch. I don't want to ruin this rare good mood."
After they finished their meal, the front desk manager came over personally to settle the bill. Before paying the fee, Ally made him a request.
"Today's grilled lamb chops were cooked just right. I haven't had such delicious lamb chops for a long time. If possible, we would like to go to the back kitchen to thank the chef in person."
"Thank you for your kindness, dear sir, beautiful lady. But the kitchen..."
"There's not a lot of people around now, is there? I believe the chef won't be too busy, and I also believe the head chef will be happy to see us."
"Can……"
"It's nothing, manager, it's just a friendly thank you. If this is not allowed, I really doubt what impact it will have on the restaurant if word gets out."
The manager's nose was covered with sweat. The young lady's interruptions and extremely fast speech left him with little time to react. He only understood the meaning of the last sentence.
At the same time, he also thought of the identity of this guest, a very rare guest with gold membership. After a brief weighing, the manager agreed to this request.
After paying the meal, he took Xing Ze and Ellie to the kitchen. At this time, the head chef was checking a plate of freshly baked foie gras.
The other chefs in the kitchen all cast doubtful eyes. Under these eyes, the manager walked to the head chef and whispered a few words.
The head chef turned his head and looked at him. He was quite strong, square-faced, and slightly fat.
"Oh, it's really my honor." After hesitating for a while, the head chef smiled and said, his eyes curved into crescents.
When it was Xing Ze's turn to shake hands with the head chef, Xing Ze whispered: "Mr. Frank asked me to say hello to you, chef."
This made the head chef slightly stunned, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Xing Ze took the opportunity to say: "I think you should have heard about the four bodies. They died in a miserable way, but I can't see any grief on your face."
"What...what are you talking about, sir?" The chef withdrew his hand, his cheek twitching slightly.
The eldest lady quietly held the magic wand in her hand, and the eyes of the chefs around her were getting more and more wrong.
Thank you for your recommendation and monthly tickets
