Chapter 556: Justice Delayed

"But justice that is delayed is no longer justice after all."

Chen Shu read the entire volume and let out a long sigh: "Hey, Zhu Li. Are you, the Chief of Punishment, still interrogating and closing the case?"

"I don't know much about this. But it should be the case. Not long ago, I saw Wen Zhao being placed under surveillance in large numbers. I guess he was injured and couldn't be sent in, so he was kept in a hotel for a while."

"There is no benefit to doing this kind of thing, but you still have to take responsibility. The person who did it either has ulterior motives or is a fool. I don't think Wen Zhao is this kind of person."

"Well, who knows."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Julie's voice sounded again: "But I heard my old man mentioned that this person should not cause trouble easily. It is very difficult to come out safely after causing trouble. If you come out safely, it means that the investigators have to go in. , even if you don’t get involved, your political future will be basically ruined. If a bunch of people are involved, it will be even more difficult. Anyone with a discerning eye will know what to choose.”

Chen Shu rubbed his chin and slowly closed the file on the floating corpse's revenge case.

Maybe it was God's will, or maybe it was the breeze that blew in when the door was opened, blowing away a few pages of A4 paper mixed in the file and falling to the ground.

Chen Shu lowered his head and saw that there was a copy of Zhao Zhiguo's acquittal verdict from last year printed on it, as well as an early publicity report about Nie Chaofan's "Super Detective".

He casually picked it up and stuffed it back into the file. Chen Shu felt mixed emotions in his heart. He raised his head and saw Zhu Li changing into casual clothes, walking out of the room and leaning on the edge. She smiled like the sun that had just risen in the morning. , gentle and gentle heart-warming.

"Chen Shu, why don't we go have lunch together? Or that French restaurant."

Chen Shu, who had panda eyes, seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "Fortunately, when I mentioned this restaurant, when I carried the body yesterday, I conveniently put the packaged tomahawk steak in the refrigerator next to the freezer. I'll go get it now." come over."

As he said that, he gestured with his thumb towards the morgue and said confidently: "Don't worry, I won't put it in the freezer because I know there are corpses in it."

Julie was petrified on the spot, her pretty oval face as dull as a stone carving. She seemed to hear something collapsing inside her, rumbling to pieces.

She swallowed the saliva in her mouth and finally said, "Chen Shu, I know you put the food in the refrigerator to prevent it from spoiling, but do you know what is in the refrigerator?"

Chen Shu was stunned, recalling the details of opening the refrigerator to put steak last night, and said slowly: "Isn't the refrigerator just for storing food? I took a few glances when I opened the refrigerator, and I remembered that there were a lot of vegetables in it, whether it was pork or... Beef, and then pork liver.

"Didn't you Xingda put it in there to prepare food? That's right. You came here to work overtime, so you don't have time to cook. The staff of the funeral home should have put it in. I think there is some ice drink in it."

The more Chen Shu spoke, the softer his voice became, as if he had thought of a terrible result.

Zhu Li held up her forehead and let out a long sigh: "Even if the funeral parlor staff put it in, it shouldn't be placed in the morgue, right? Doesn't such a large unit have a canteen?

"That's what's in the refrigerator."

"stop!"

Chen Shu immediately interrupted, put on his coat and walked out: "Let's go, no more steak, let's go to the Western restaurant now."

Still Chen Shu’s beloved black Golf GTR, heading straight to the old place.

Not long after we sat down, the restaurant owner, a foreigner with a shiny bald head, walked over with a smile.

The two enemies had hurried away before taking a few bites of the food. The expensive dishes that were basically intact on the table were sold by him to the waiters below, which was considered a big bargain.

"Two friends, what do you want to eat?"

In this restaurant, the boss is only responsible for the delivery of expensive dishes. He is the last step in the kitchen and is also the position where he can get the most direct feedback from the guests.

Normally, he would not help order food, but when he saw these two nobles again, his hands were itchy and he couldn't help but come over and show his face to take a closer look at the appearance of these two big enemies.

Chen Shu glanced at Zhu Li, who raised her eyebrows shaped like willow leaves and slightly pouted her cherry mouth towards the boss, indicating that Chen Shu would take the order this time.

Chen Shu waved his hand and said simply: "Give me a tomahawk steak first, um, well done! Then give me um."

"Well, one more. Well, let me think about it."

"Sir?" The restaurant owner finished recording carefully. He held his pen and waited for a long time but still didn't hear what was going on. He looked up suspiciously.

I saw this handsome man with huge dark circles under his eyes, leaning on the table with both hands, winking at the woman opposite him with stern eyes.

What a beautiful oriental woman, I have to show off my skills in front of her later. The restaurant owner praised her repeatedly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel the primitive instinct of natural creatures to show their masculine charm in front of the same kind of opposite sex.

Julie slowly took a sip of lemonade, looking down at the only recipe on the table, feeling happy in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Officer Chen, who was all-powerful when handling cases, would also be in such embarrassment. Zhu Li looked up at the blushing Chen Shu with a smile and said nothing, and finally pushed the menu on the table.

After receiving the menu, Chen Shu calmed down and recalled the taste of Zhu Li's order when he came to the restaurant last time, and ordered all the dishes three times, five times and two times.

After the boss left, Chen Shu smiled and said, "You still want to laugh at me when you order a dish."

Julie's oval face raised a sweet smile, and her smart eyes were filled with the charm of a mature woman.

The two sat opposite each other and chatted, occasionally letting out bursts of joyful chuckles, and in between, the dishes were served one after another.

This warm and peaceful atmosphere brought the two hearts closer.

The last dish was the Tomahawk steak. This time, the boss pushed a dining cart with a plate of Tomahawk steak through the lobby and came to the table where Julie was sitting, bowing politely to salute.

The customers in other seats put down their cutlery because they knew that the restaurant owner would personally fry a steak.

"These two must be the boss's friends."

"I don't think so. The boss is a foreigner. I heard that he devoted himself to this restaurant after opening it, but he didn't waste any time on socializing."

"It must be a big price that foreigners can't refuse."

"Although the Tomahawk steak is a bit expensive, it can be eaten, but it's rare for the boss to do it himself."

The surrounding customers talked a lot, and then cast their envious eyes on the dining cart.

Zhu Li, a regular customer of the restaurant, naturally knew all this. At this time, she looked at the man sitting opposite gently, thinking that this straight man finally got the hang of it and knew that he had to prepare some romantic programs for a date. It was really thoughtful to let the foreign boss cook for him personally.

However, Chen Shu, who knew nothing, frowned and said nothing. On the surface, he seemed to be still complaining that the foreigner was not doing well enough.

This picky attitude towards gifts made Zhu Li very happy, which showed that he had her in his heart.

"Hello, ma'am. How well done do you want it?" The boss asked with a slight bow.

Zhu Li hesitated for a moment, but couldn't say it after all: "I have to ask my friend."

"Well done." Chen Shu nodded and said simply.

"OK."

The iron spatula in the boss's hand rolled on the frying pan, making a hissing sound.

He skillfully fried the steak until it was golden, and a layer of crispy skin formed on the surface, but the meat was still tender inside. As the steak turned over, the grease in the frying pan splashed sparks, and people felt a wave of heat mixed with the aroma of meat.

But in a moment, the performance was over.

The boss put the fried steaks on two plates one by one, sprinkled some black pepper and sea salt on them, and paired them with a ruddy tomato sauce and some fresh vegetables. The whole plate looked very tempting.

"Hello, this is the steak you two ordered." The boss gently placed the decorated plates in front of Zhu Li and Chen Shu, bowed and left.

Zhu Li's mouth corners rose involuntarily.

She nodded, stretched out her slender white right hand to take the knife and fork on the plate.

For some reason, Chen Shu, who was sitting opposite, stared at Zhu Li's hands, and suddenly flashed in his mind the scene of her bending over the corpse in the dissection room, holding a silver scalpel, and sweating profusely at work.

As if by some strange coincidence, Chen Shu said, "There won't be another police call today, will there?"

"Huh?" Zhu Li froze for a moment, then let go, "How is that possible? Our area is now very safe, and there won't be a murder case in a few months. Let's eat first, I've been waiting for this steak for many days."

As soon as he said this, Chen Shu knew that he was a little too sensitive, and he laughed at himself and picked up the knife and fork as well.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

"Ding-ling-ling!"

Tsk!

This damn bad mouth!

"Ahem." Chen Shu coughed twice, motioning Zhu Li to answer the phone first.

"Don't be so nervous, it's not necessarily a case." Zhu Li covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then took out her handbag and took out her mobile phone from it.

"."

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Li's expression became extremely serious: "A headless male corpse was found in the rental house, a murder case!"

Chen Shu, who was frozen opposite, wanted to slap his bad mouth.

Hey, this Tomahawk steak is so expensive!
