Chapter 70: A Liar!
Chapter 70: A Liar!
"So annoying," referring to the girl next to me who only knows how to cry.
Indeed, detectives are destined to be lonely. Having Watson as a capable assistant is a blessing that Holmes must have earned through countless lifetimes of prayers.
As for Lin Jianlu, who was unlucky, all she got was a teary-eyed, annoying girl who clung to her leg and wouldn't let go.
"Release yourself, release yourself now, it'll look terrible if someone sees you like this."
"No...no, Little Deer, you have to apologize to me! I won't let go until you apologize!"
Apologize, you son of a bitch? Do I owe you something? I asked you out today to help out, but you insisted on calling it some kind of date! I'm so annoyed by all this stuff, I came out to investigate even with a bleeding buff, and you still give me trouble!?
Lin Jianlu clenched her fists tightly in anger.
Then--
"sorry."
If you bully me, you've kicked a hornet's nest. You'll be all warm and cozy, I'll tell you!
There was no way around it; she was too thin-skinned. Seeing a group of people staring at her, Lin Jianlu couldn't help but back down.
"Hehehe..." The mischievous girl instantly stopped crying and started laughing. She got up and wrapped her arm around Lin Jianlu's, snuggling close to him. "It's okay, I forgive you. Remember to listen to me next time~"
Hmph, you son of a bitch, do you think you'll have another chance to come out with me alone next time?
Lin Jianlu secretly mocked Yan Yiyan's overestimation of her abilities, then joined her in the long queue at the bakery.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it's approaching moderate rain.
However, it's not a big problem. Lin Jianlu mainly wants to obtain evidence that the video was fake before setting off to meet Akashi Mio. That way, she can help Chen Chen clear things up when facing Akashi Mio.
That way, she won't have any reason to cause trouble for Chen Chen anymore.
Hmph! Thank me, Chen Chen. Besides me, who else would care so much about your reputation?
Thinking this, Lin Jianlu opened the chat interface with those "Amy is the best in the world".
After I greeted them and asked my question, three or four people have already replied, clearly stating that they do not know who Chen Chen is.
As expected, there are still some really cool... oh no, I can't call them "cool dogs" anymore, they're more like "normal gamers." Lin Jianlu actually admires people like this. Playing games is just playing games; simply get enjoyment from them. Why use games to criticize others or seize a voice?
"Um... Little Deer?" Yan Yiyan's voice rang out at this moment.
"What's wrong?"
To prevent this scoundrel from causing trouble again, Lin Jianlu reacted especially quickly this time.
"Why do we have to queue up at these trendy bakeries? They're expensive and the food is awful."
So she didn't listen to the waitress?
Lin Jianlu shook his head and repeated the information he had just heard to the girl.
"Not a trendy online store?"
"yes."
Yan Yiyan gazed at the front of the line and pursed her lips:
"Why does it just not seem like it to me?"
Why?
"The things displayed in its cabinet are so exquisite they don't look like bread at all."
"And that bag for bread, it's so small, it looks like the kind of trendy, bourgeois style that charges a lot of money for just a tiny slice."
"Uh... they've renovated, maybe it's for service upgrades."
At that moment, a message popped up on the phone screen.
【Amy is the best: Chen Chen? I know him, that godlike opening theme】
Upon seeing this, Lin Jianlu quickly replied.
[Universe Invincible Ultimate Tyrannosaurus Rex Warrior: Did you know he went into the river to save someone?]
【Amy is the best: It's all fake, a complete lie! He didn't save anyone! He's just trying to use this opportunity to gain popularity】
[Universe Invincible Ultimate Tyrannosaurus Rex War God: Yes, I know he didn't save anyone, but I mainly want to ask if he really posted a video saying he saved the person and took all the credit for it?]
[Amy is the best: Yes, I saw that video back then, and that's why I think he's a shameless scoundrel.]
Is it true? Is this just something KuGou made up or is it actually true?
Lin Jianlu frowned, tapping her fingers on the screen, revising and deleting the sentences she typed, trying to figure out what kind of words she should send to obtain evidence without offending the other party.
Besides Yan Yiyan's incessant chatter, one could also hear faint rumbles of thunder. It was almost Qingming Festival, but the thunder of Jingzhe seemed reluctant to leave.
Seeing that "Universe Invincible Ultimate Tyrannosaurus War God" had not responded for a long time, the other being sent out another message.
[Amy is the best: Although I hate OP and think they're all brain-dead, I would never fabricate stories to smear people.]
[Universe Invincible Ultimate Tyrannosaurus Rex Warrior: I want to see that video. As long as that video exists, I will believe you.]
[Amy is the best: He deleted that video; it's not there now.]
Without video evidence, it's impossible to prove you weren't lying.
[Amy is the best: I'll go look for it; someone should be able to re-upload it.]
[Universe Invincible Ultimate Tyrannosaurus Rex Warrior: Alright, I'll be waiting.]
Lin Jianlu put down her phone, glanced at the shop assistant in front of her. She looked a little surprised, but still politely asked, "Hello, what would you like to order?"
What kind of signboard do you use?
"This is old-fashioned honey bread. We use real, good honey at home, not the kind made with saccharin..."
"Okay, give me twenty yuan's worth."
"Twenty yuan is a bit much..."
"I want twenty yuan."
It's just bread, not gold, twenty yuan is about right.
The clerk paused for a moment, then picked up a knife and carefully cut a small piece off a large slice of bread that looked like a cake.
Huh? That's all?
Lin Jianlu's eyes widened.
"Twenty-four yuan and thirty cents, I'll wrap it up for you."
Holy crap, is your bread crust made of gold or is the bread filling made of gold?
But since the cutting had already been done, there was nothing Lin Jianlu could do but pay.
Upon seeing this, Yan Yiyan simply didn't buy anything.
After they finished buying their items, the two left the queue.
"This is way too expensive! It's even more outrageous than those trendy online stores!"
"That doesn't make sense, the shop assistant clearly said..."
At this moment, Yan Yiyan nudged Lin Jianlu and pointed to the back of the line.
There were several guys in coffee shop employee uniforms queuing up at the back.
Just then, a loud bang of lightning rang out, and the rain poured down even harder. Yan Yiyan immediately shrank into Lin Jianlu's arms.
Soon, a man who looked like a leader walked out of the bakery, holding an umbrella in one hand and a megaphone in the other.
"The rain is too heavy, that's all for today. Everyone in the group, please DM me when you get back to claim your red envelopes. I'll give everyone an extra fifty yuan for queuing up in the rain today."
Upon hearing this, the crowd in line, including the coffee shop employees, scattered, leaving only a few bewildered passersby who had come to join the fun, as well as the equally bewildered Lin Jianlu and Yan Yiyan.
Damn, have the tricks used by online celebrity stores to scam people really evolved to this extent?
