She Is Beautiful
Chapter 9
"Have a glass of water." Bruce took out a bottle of delicate drink and tossed it to Xiu Yu.
Xiu Yu held her phone and caught it easily with one hand without looking up. "Thank you."
Xiu Yu looked at the drink.
It had a beautiful packaging. It didn't look like something that someone like Mr. Weyne would buy.
She recalled that he had just returned from a date with a beautiful woman …
How generous of him to give something bought by his date to another woman.
She unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
Bruce started the car and sped on the road. He glanced at Xiu Yu from the corner of his eye as he made a sharp turn.
Xiu Yu's expression didn't change at all. Her gaze was as calm as if she was sitting in a five-star hotel. She was unhurriedly screwing the cap back on. Halfway through, the drink in the bottle only shook gently without spilling out at all.
She seemed to be quite impressive … One look and you could tell that she wasn't a serious Best Actress.
After entering the restaurant, Bruce called the boss over and asked him to cook a table of delicious dishes.
It had to be said that the food he cooked was really delicious. Xiu Yu even had the urge to eat more in that instant, but she resisted in the end.
"Do you two like these dishes?" The boss bowed slightly and asked the two of them with a smile on his face.
"It's very good."
Bruce praised with a smile while holding a fork. His every move was elegant and noble. It was very pleasing to the eye.
Xiu Yu sat upright with ten fingertips against each other and revealed a gentle smile. "I think so too."
Bruce glanced at her casually and quickly analyzed in his mind.
Fingertips against each other in the shape of a steeple. In psychology, this was a sign of confidence.
As for the rest … she was so exquisite that she didn't look like a real person. There was no dust on her shoes, and there wasn't even a wrinkle on her dress. He couldn't find any useful information. At most, he could conclude that she came from a noble family and was very well-educated based on her words and actions.
This woman was a mystery.
"Thank you for your compliment." The owner smiled more sincerely. "Do you know how the foie gras is made?"
In fact, Xiu Yu had heard of it before. She showed a puzzled expression at the right time. "Please go ahead."
"In order to ensure that the foie gras is fat and delicious, the geese used to make the foie gras are not allowed to eat naturally. Three times a day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening, the breeder will stab a 20 to 30cm iron pipe into the depths of the geese's throat.
This method of feeding directly through the throat into the stomach reduces the operation of the liver and ensures that the foie gras is plump and delicious. "
The boss said with a smile, as if he didn't think it was cruel.
"These geese are trapped in small cages, and the keepers only allow them to stand. The goal is to reduce their activity so that the food won't be digested because of exercise.
The geese don't even have time to digest it before they are forced to eat more food. Some geese even die from overeating. "
The boss shut his mouth and waited for their reaction with a smile, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.
Look, you rich people like things that are built on other people's pain.
Bruce pretended not to understand his implied meaning and commented, "It seems a bit cruel."
"You remind me of the recent murder case that has received a lot of attention recently." Xiu Yu changed her sitting position. "Those people also died from overeating. What do you think of this?"
The boss's expression didn't change. "I didn't expect that a movie queen would pay attention to these trivial matters."
"Trivial matters?
No, no, no, I don't think those are trivial matters. "
Xiu Yu's face became serious, and her micro-expression showed a kind of disgust. "How free do you think a person has to be to stuff rats, toads, and so on into someone else's stomach and make them die from overeating?
It's so disgusting. The real murderer should be shot on the spot. "
According to B's analysis, the criminal killed the person who committed the crime of "gluttony" to get rid of evil for the people. He would definitely feel that he was a hero, a great hero who enforced justice on behalf of heaven. If the boss was a criminal, he might not be able to tolerate others thinking that everything he did was a crime.
"Yes."
Bruce seemed to agree very much, and there was some contempt in his expression. He kept watching the boss's reaction from the corner of his eye. "The criminal is so boring, doing meaningless things.
And killing people is simply unforgivable. Shooting him on the spot would be considered a light sentence. "
Xiu Yu felt that she had a tacit understanding with him.
Was Mr. Weyne intentional or unintentional?
If it was intentional, why did he cooperate with her to anger the boss?
The boss's face turned green. He felt that these two people were really ignorant, but he still retorted politely. "I think he is getting rid of evil for the people, just like a superhero, killing those who have committed serious crimes."
Xiu Yu suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and frowned. She seemed to be puzzled and asked, "Then do you agree with the criminal's actions?
I think his actions are very … "
Xiu Yu turned her hand and frowned. Her expression was disgusted, as if she was thinking about how to describe the criminal.
"Disgusting." Bruce continued.
"Yes, disgusting!" Xiu Yu's expression looked as if she had eaten a fly.
Bruce also felt a little strange. Was she cooperating with him to test him?
Why?
How did she know his purpose?
Bruce made his voice sound disgusted and contemptuous. "Yes, I also think his actions are disgusting."
"Of course I agree with his actions. Why wouldn't I?"
The boss couldn't stand their disgusted and disgusted expressions. "Don't you think he is eliminating evil for the world?
I think he is like a judge sent by God to judge those who have committed crimes.
It is God who wants them to die!
God is punishing those who indulge in gluttony and don't repent! "
The boss thought that they should be afraid of the criminal, or even hate the criminal, but how could they, how could they dare to hate him and look down on him?!
Xiu Yu looked into his eyes. The disgusted expression on her face hadn't faded, but the thoughts in her heart were completely different from what she showed.
There was definitely something wrong with the boss. The criminal was most likely the boss!
"Oh, my god, that is a crazy idea."
Xiu Yu maintained her persona. There was a slight disdain in her expression. "I beg to differ."
As if she couldn't stand the conversation with the boss anymore, she tipped her toes toward the door. Her body leaned slightly to the side like she was ready to leave at any moment.
The boss looked down on her even more. He thought that the movie queen who was praised by the media for her intelligence was just so-so. "But I believe that he is a hero."
Xiu Yu seemed to have reached the end of her patience. She stood up suddenly. "I'm sorry, I need to touch up my make-up."
Then she rushed out of the room.
The boss' reaction and the smell on him that was similar to the victim's proved that he was the murderer, but there was no evidence!
The Gotham police's capability was truly touching.
Xiu Yu walked into the bathroom cubicle and took out her phone.
Y: B, do you have any suspicions about the murderer?
B replied very quickly.
B: Yes.
What about you?
Y: I have a suspect as well.
B: Then tell me together.
B: The owner of a restaurant in Gotham City.
Y: The owner of Smith Restaurant.
Both of them sent their messages almost at the same time. Both of them were stunned.
Y: Unfortunately, there is no evidence.
[B: All we need is evidence.]
"… Pfft." Xiu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
She tapped on the other party's name.
What a tacit understanding.
…
That night, Xiu Yu had a dream. The dream reminded her of something that happened a long time ago. It was so long ago that it seemed to have piled up dust in the depths of her memory.
She dreamt that she was sleeping in an empty room. When she opened her eyes, there was an endless darkness and … a beautiful parrot.
"Your Highness."
"Good morning, Your Highness."
"Good night, Your Highness."
The parrot was stupid. No matter how hard its trainer tried to teach it, it would only say good night … until it died.
However, in Xiu Yu's lonely and boring life, it was the only warmth.
The scene changed. The parrot was lying in a pool of blood with an arrow in its chest.
"Your Highness, the parrot was … was … was killed by that person."
A man knelt by her feet, his body trembling. "That person told me to tell you … you … can't have any weaknesses. Your identity … doesn't allow you to have a weak side. Please don't cry …"
Xiu Yu gasped as she woke up from her dream. Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by someone. It was so painful that she wanted to cry.
She thought that she had long forgotten about her previous life, but this dream reminded her that no matter how embarrassing the past was, it really did happen.
Some things from her previous life flashed through her mind like a merry-go-round.
"Your Highness …"
"Your Highness the Crown Princess …"
"Your Highness the Crown Princess …"
"Your Highness …"
Her identity was the source of all her pain in her previous life.
That damned identity.
She fell off the bed weakly and stumbled into the bathroom. She turned on the tap and didn't care if it was cold water. It was so cold that she shivered, but she recovered some of her rationality.
It's all in the past … it's all right … no one will use her identity to force her to be what she should be.
The cold water soaked her nightgown. Xiu Yu touched the water on her face and felt a little better. She took off her nightgown and adjusted the water temperature to a suitable temperature.
The water droplets flowed down her smooth neck and flowed past the jade pendant on her chest.
Xiu Yu lowered her head and hooked it around her seemingly empty neck. The jade pendant seemed to be hooked by something and swayed in the air. Her fingertips also seemed to have hooked a thin line, pressing a thin indentation. However, the thin line couldn't be seen. The color of the thin line seemed to have blended into the air.
The jade pendant looked ordinary. It didn't have exquisite carvings or beautiful patterns. It didn't match Xiu Yu very well.
Xiu Yu gently touched the jade pendant with a complicated expression.
After a while, she let go of her hand. The jade pendant fell to her chest and gently swayed. It reflected a warm luster under the light.
Xiu Yu walked out with his long, wet hair. His fingertips entered the roots of his hair and shook it gently. In the blink of an eye, his hair was dried by his inner force.
