Chapter 2093: Accurate prediction

At this time, Chen Zhaozhong brought up two plates of dishes. One was the signature Cantonese roast goose, and the other was his specialty, the marinated platter.

He placed the dishes in front of Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi, and then whispered to the two: "Young Master Ye, Miss Gu, an old regular customer has come to the store, and that Chinese detective Li Yalin has also come. You two should temporarily not go down."

Ye Chen asked hurriedly: "Uncle Zhong, Li Yalin didn't recognize you, right?"

"No." Chen Zhaozhong said: "My style that day was too different from usual. Besides, it was just a one-time meeting, so it might be very difficult for him to remember me. And I deliberately tested him just now, and he really didn't recognize me. It should be fine."

"That's good." Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously: "Uncle Zhong, do you know the middle-aged man who came with Li Yalin?"

Chen Zhaozhong said: "I've known him for a long time. He has always been a regular customer of the store, but I really don't know his identity too well. He never says, and I never ask."

As he spoke, he added: "However, I guess his identity must be very prominent. He should be a person with a lot of background."

Immediately after, Chen Zhaozhong asked Ye Chen: "Young Master Ye, do you know that person?"

Ye Chen hesitated in his heart, but decided not to tell Chen Zhaozhong for the time being. After all, his eldest uncle was downstairs. If Chen Zhaozhong was too shocked after hearing it, he might reveal some flaws.

Therefore, he smiled at Chen Zhaozhong and said: "I don't know him either, just asked casually. Uncle Zhong, you go down and get busy first. Don't worry about us. Just have the assistant send the food and drinks to us in a while."

Chen Zhaozhong waved his hand: "How can I do that? I'll send the other dishes to you when they are ready. You eat first."

At this time, An Chongqiu and Li Yalin had already started drinking.

To prevent Li Yalin from remembering him, Chen Zhaozhong had the assistant serve them some snacks for drinking first. Li Yalin was not in the right state of mind, and indeed didn't notice anything unusual.

After the two toasted each other, An Chongqiu put down his chopsticks and asked Li Yalin: "How is your case going? Is there any progress?"

Li Yalin shook his head, then looked at the environment around him, and then looked at Chen Zhaozhong and the restaurant assistant who were busy inside. After confirming that the two couldn't hear him, he said with frustration: "To tell you the truth, the Fei family is really getting worse with each generation. When I went to the Fei family, I had already made things so clear, and I could still be kicked out. I really have nothing to say."

An Chongqiu sighed: "This might be what people often call 'the bystander sees clearly, the player is confused'."

Li Yalin sighed: "Sigh! I originally thought that after the Fei family realized the crisis, they could cooperate with us, but it turned out I was just asking for trouble. I see that there isn't much time left until the 48 hours stated by the kidnappers, and the probability of this case being solved is very low."

An Chongqiu then said: "The person might indeed not be coming back, but I think the case can still be solved. Although it can't be solved in three or five days, in three or five months, or three or five years, the truth will always come out."

Li Yalin smiled bitterly: "I will retire soon. If this case really takes three or five years to come to light, then the person who solves this case won't be me. Retiring with such an unsolved case, the little reputation I've built up over half my life will be gone."

An Chongqiu laughed: "I thought you, Li Yalin, were broad-minded by nature and didn't care about this so-called false reputation."

Li Yalin spread his hands and mocked himself: "Look, I've been mixing for half my life. Aside from these false reputations, what else do I have left? If even this little bit of false reputation is gone, then only the meager pension given to me by the federal government will be left."

An Chongqiu said seriously: "Old Li, be optimistic! It's just a setback in your strongest field, it doesn't matter."

After saying that, he pointed to himself with both hands and blurted out: "Look at me. For so many years, wherever I go, I am treated as a guest of honor. Even if the person opposite is a ninety-year-old man, he will take the initiative to stand up and insist on giving me the best seat. As a result, I went to an auction a while ago and was kicked out in front of so many people. I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide at the time, but look at me now, haven't I thought it through?"

"People, no matter how well you mix, it's impossible for everyone to give you face; you, this detective, no matter how professional your skills are, it's impossible to solve all the cases;"

"You have to learn to accept failure while maintaining a normal heart. After this period of time, you look at this matter again, it's just like someone farting in front of you. No matter how smelly the fart is, it will eventually dissipate one day."

"But if you hold on to this matter yourself, and when you are seventy or eighty, you are still thinking about that fart, feeling uncomfortable because you didn't find the person who farted, then you definitely won't be happy for the rest of your life. Don't you think that's the truth?" **Chapter 2094: Oil Exhausted and Lamp Dried**
