Chapter 13 You understand again
"Not yet?"
Edward frowned and asked.
The landlady heard Edward's voice and said hello happily: "It's Inspector Edward. Are you going to eat here as usual today?"
"Ok!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, green pepper lamb kidneys, add more green peppers, add more garlic."
Because Edward often eats here and is very familiar with the boss, the landlady just asked casually.
Edward had already finished ordering, and Mengge was still looking at the menu, trying to find words he might recognize.
The words on it were obviously familiar to him, but they were also unfamiliar. Some words seemed to have a few more horizontal and vertical lines.
Meng Ge felt sweat on his forehead and fanned himself with the menu, "It's a bit hot!"
"Have you made your choice?"
Seeing that the stalemate could no longer continue, Meng Ge saw that the detective had already finished his meal. Anyway, he didn’t recognize the words on the menu, so he might as well choose a dish that looked more familiar!
Mengge saw a certain option on the menu. The words looked very similar to what he had learned, so he pointed at it and said: "It's selected, that's it..."
The landlady stared at her account book, as if writing down something important, "What do you want to eat?"
Mengge tapped on the menu, "That's it...the seventh line...(drop seven)"
The landlady stopped taking notes, put down her notebook with both hands, and said with a smile: "Read it out!"
"Haha, that's the one on the menu. It's very simple. We all know each other, haha..."
"Well, so...please read it out..."
Meng Ge looked at this woman with a smile on her face, but it made him feel like she was a little devil who was deliberately teasing him.
"You speak so well, it's impossible that you can't pronounce its name, right?"
"Have some tomato egg noodles."
Just when Meng Ge was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, he suddenly heard a sound of nature.
"Give me a piece of ↑tomato↓egg noodles↑" Meng Ge quickly followed the voice and translated it again.
Meng Ge felt that he loved each other so much.
Mengge himself admired his wit. He looked at the landlady, feeling very proud and proud. Then he looked back at Inspector Edward and found that Inspector Edward had not noticed him, so he raised his voice and shouted again. : "Give ↑ nest ↓ a ↓ portion of ↑ tomato ↓ egg ↓ noodles."
Sure enough, after he shouted out, Inspector Edward's eyes changed when he looked at him.
Meng Ge felt a little happy, feeling that he had successfully attracted Inspector Edward's attention.
Edward: I'm afraid he's not a fool!
After Meng Ge finished shouting, he glanced gratefully at the man in a black coat behind him, but the man in the coat ignored him and walked directly to the counter.
Meng Ge withdrew his gaze and prepared to return to Edward.
Just between the two of them.
The man's coat was pulled open with the swing of his arms. Meng Ge, who looked back, glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the pistol hidden in his waist.
The Glock 19 sells for more than $600.
gun?
Meng Ge suddenly became wary. Would a decent person go out with a gun?
Although the existence of superheroes has reduced the crime rate throughout New York, this does not mean that there are no criminals.
For some daring outlaws, New York City is the place where they prove themselves.
After all, you criminals don’t dare to rob in New York City, but I dared and succeeded. Then when I go back and talk to other criminals, it will be something worth bragging about!
Even if such a prisoner goes to prison, the person inside is also a man of the hour.
It's like when you go to prison and people ask you, eh, how did you get in?
If you say you eat dumplings without dipping them in vinegar, they will definitely think you are insulting, and they will beat you up without saying anything.
Then you said that the police arrested you, and everyone came in like this. You have no special characteristics, so you are treated equally, and you still have to get a beating.
When you say, I was arrested by the FBI or S.H.I.E.L.D., when people hear it, they will think, good guy, needless to say, this must be a well-known figure in the world.
But... when you say that you were captured by a superhero personally, that's even more incredible. You'll have to enjoy star-level treatment. Maybe there will be a theatrical performance at some time, and you'll be the finale.
Meng Ge sat in front of Edward, his face gloomy, his eyes glanced back at the man from time to time, and his hand was on the holster, ready to shoot at any time.
"The people who come here are all regular customers. The taste is a bit strong. If you are not used to it, you don't have to eat these things in the future. Just eat what you like."
Edward raised his head and looked at Meng Ge's nervous face, and shook his head helplessly.
In fact, Edward didn't want Menggo to follow him.
Because he felt that there was a curse on him, and this curse meant that the detective would die.
The first few detectives died because he got too close to the other party. Edward was now promoted to detective and brought in a new man, Meng Ge. He didn't want the curse to be reflected on him.
Seeing that Meng Ge was not happy with his meal, Edward simply hinted to him, "Look, everything I like to eat is to your taste. From now on, when I go to eat, don't follow me. You can think comfortably by yourself." Just eat whatever you want, right?
Edward thought to himself that he had hinted so clearly, even a fool would have understood what he meant!
After all, there are some things that cannot be said too bluntly as they can easily hurt others.
When Mengge heard Inspector Edward's meaningful words, he was a little depressed at first, thinking that Inspector Edward didn't like him, but he suddenly remembered.
What the hell am I thinking?
I am a policeman. When I encounter a gunman, I become nervous and confused. My palms and soles of my feet are sweaty. How do I still want to help Detective Edward solve the case?
It’s good if I can take care of myself and not hold the detective back!
Still want to help others?
Meng Ge suddenly felt full of shame.
When Edward saw his appearance, he thought, oh, this kid is so thin-skinned. He just said one sentence, not to criticize you, just like a primary school student who did something wrong, how can he find a partner in the future.
Ignore him, just eat noodles!
Edward grabbed a piece of peeled garlic, ate the noodles with the garlic, and felt a burning taste in his mouth. Two words, "delightful".
Mengge saw Inspector Edward's calm expression, as if he didn't know anything. He was eating and drinking when he should, but was lost in thought.
Does Inspector Edward really know nothing?
Is that possible?
Do you believe it?
He doesn't believe it anyway!
Detective Edward saw his nervous look just now and shook his head helplessly, obviously a little disappointed with his reaction.
So why the disappointment?
Because I encountered someone with a gun across from me, I became so nervous that I almost drew my gun and shot someone.
Meng Ge recalled that when he was a patrolman, he encountered very few people with guns.
Therefore, it was the first time for him to face such an unexpected situation, so it was understandable that he was nervous and at a loss.
Detective Edward saw it in his eyes and probably reasoned everything out through his strong logical thinking ability.
So Detective Edward must have known that the other party was carrying threatening weapons, but why did Detective Edward still eat by himself?Not taking it seriously at all?
I think there should be at least two possibilities.
One possibility is that the detective is sure to subdue the opponent, and the other possibility is that the opponent does not pose any threat.
Think of what Inspector Edward said.
The people who come here are all regular customers.
What does it mean to be a regular customer?
Doesn’t it mean these people come often?
And what does it mean to come often?
If the other party is a dangerous person.
That means Detective Edward has been staring at the other party for a long time!
I understand!
Edward frowned and asked.
The landlady heard Edward's voice and said hello happily: "It's Inspector Edward. Are you going to eat here as usual today?"
"Ok!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, green pepper lamb kidneys, add more green peppers, add more garlic."
