After putting down the receiver, Yihshyong returned to the dining room. He sat down again. Jenqyih has also continued their interrupted lunch.
"What's the matter, Sir?" Jinqkang asked.
"The person who called earlier found a wallet. There was no identification card or anything in it to show who the wallet belonged to. Only a small amount of money and our phone number. The person called to return the wallet."
If something like this had happened on other days, maybe we would have taken it for granted. But this is happening right now, right when we're having trouble like this! It's hard not to suspect that this has something to do with the problems we're having.
"Whose wallet is that, Sir?" Jinqkang asked.
"I can't say for sure yet," Yihshyong said.
"I think it's possible that the wallet belonged to Mr. Duanmuh," said Jinqkang.
"It's possible that it was Dahge's dropped wallet. But that guy found it far away from here. Besides, it would be weird if there was only cash there. Things that disappear faster in a dropped purse are money, not other documents."
Yihshyong ate at a faster tempo than before. He seemed to want to focus on other things as quickly as possible.
"But that's not necessarily Dahge's wallet. Yesterday we found Shinnshiow's pen. So it could be Shinnshiow's." Jenqyih expressed her suspicions. Just like Yihshyong, he also devoured.
Turned out he wasn't the only one doing this. When he saw Jinqkang, Jenqyih realized that the young man was also speeding up his eating. Perhaps seeing Yihshyong and Jenqyih hasten their way of eating, Jinqkang also did the same. The young man seemed to try to adjust his eating rhythm to that of the two hosts who were currently sitting at the table with him. Jenqyih gave a thumb up inside. Jenqyih always tried hard to please others.
"On second thought." Yihshyong still didn't stop talking. "There's also a possibility that the wallet doesn't belong to either of them. Miss Liuchiou also has the telephone number of this house in her wallet. I heard about it from Dahge. People we know might have our phone number in their wallet. One of them may have lost the wallet"
Talking while eating was certainly not a healthy thing. But in such a situation, Jenqyih could understand that. After Jenqyih thought further. That's not unusual. During this time, they also often ate while chatting. Jenqyih wondered why earlier it seemed as if he had forgotten their bad habits.
"You have to look at the wallet first. Maybe after that, you will recognize whose wallet it is." Jinqkang, who had almost finished eating, put forward his opinion.
Yihshyong nodded several times while continuing to stuff food into his mouth. Like Jinqkang, he had almost finished eating.
"I think we'll just have to wait until the others come home. Now let's finish our delayed lunch first," said Jenqyih. Among the three of them, the leftover food on his plate was the most.
The three of them then continued to eat their afternoon meal. While eating, Jenqyih's mind was filled with various conjectures. For about two minutes after that, there was silence. The three of them seemed to be competing to spend food quickly. They no longer try to enjoy the delicious food. Jinqkang was the youngest person. So, his physical condition was in his prime, his energy was still intact. There was very little food left on his plate. An instant later, there was no food left on the young man's plate.
Jenqyih smiled. He also did not want to lose. For the last two minutes, Jenqyih had been desperately speeding up the tempo of his meal. Now there was less left on his plate than Yihshyong had on his plate. Just as Jenqyih put the last bite into his mouth, he looked up because he heard something. There was the sound of a car stopping in front of the house.
"Someone is coming," Yihshyong said.
After putting down the receiver, Yihshyong returned to the dining room. He sat down again. Jenqyih has also continued their interrupted lunch.
