"Your wish will definitely come true, sir." Molan respectfully listened to the man's teachings.
"How interesting, this restaurant." The man put down his knife and fork with a smile. The beer here was delicious, and the cake was also quite good.
It was better than the cakes he used to eat. All in all, the man was very satisfied.
"Mr. Store Manager, you can pay the bill now." The man took the cane from the side.
"Yes, sir, because …" Chen Ze walked out. He had to explain the uniqueness and rules of his restaurant to the customer, and this middle-aged man didn't look like someone who would be forced by life.
"I think you don't accept pounds here, right?" The man looked at Chen Ze attentively and interrupted him.
Although it was impolite, the man needed to verify what he thought.
"Yes, sir." Chen Ze was stunned for a moment. This was one of the few customers who could see that the restaurant didn't accept local currency.
"Then I'll pay with this." The man took out a pocket watch and put it on the table.
Molan's eyes focused, and her expression changed in an instant. However, she quickly regained her calmness and stood respectfully behind the man.
Chen Ze curiously took the pocket watch. Speaking of pocket watches, Chen Ze also had one, which was given to him by another customer.
However, this pocket watch was different from the previous one. The workmanship was more delicate, and it was protected by calf leather. It was obvious that the owner of the watch cherished it very much.
"May I? Sir, I feel that this pocket watch should be very important to you. "Chen Ze was a little hesitant.
"Of course, I'm James Moriarty. I'll come again next time. Your light cheesecake is very delicious." Moriarty put on his gentleman's hat and was about to push the door open.
Chen Ze was stunned. James … Moriarty? Moriarty!
"Mr. Moriarty, what do you do?" Seeing that Moriarty was about to leave, Chen Ze immediately asked.
He wanted to confirm. Although there weren't many people with this name, what if it was?
What if it was really the person he knew …
"Me?" Moriarty looked back, his eyes deep.
"I used to be a university professor. Now I'm a military coach, but I prefer to be called Professor." Moriarty lifted his hat politely.
"Is there anything else? Mr. Store Manager? "Moriarty looked at the shocked Chen Ze and smiled.
"Uh … That's all. You're welcome to come again." Chen Ze waved his hand. It was really that person …
"I'll visit again." Moriarty led Moran out and closed the door behind him.
"Manager, you seem to know this customer?" Betty looked curiously at the side and then put away the plates and cups.
"Not bad." Chen Ze didn't say much.
If it was just the name, Chen Ze couldn't be sure whether it was him or not, but after hearing about Moriarty's past, Chen Ze was 80% sure that this person named James Moriarty was the supervillain in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," the criminal genius Professor Moriarty.
He was a very dangerous person with a high criminal IQ and was regarded as Sherlock Holmes' greatest enemy, although he fell into the waterfall in the end under Conan Doyle's pen.
But Moriarty had to admit that he was a real genius. And in the Uncanny Valley, Moriarty's image suddenly became more prominent.
"But since Professor Moriarty is here, does that mean that the great detective Sherlock Holmes will also come with Watson?" Chen Ze had the urge to meet his idol.
"Interesting." Professor Moriarty sat in the carriage and tapped his fingers lightly.
Just now, he noticed a problem, and that was, the store manager's mood was not quite right after hearing his name.
A little excited and a little in disbelief? It was probably because of this that Professor Moriarty found it interesting.
Moreover, the store manager had specifically asked about his profession, which made Moriarty have a guess in his heart.
But that magical restaurant …
"Sir, are you going back now?" Moran sat beside Moriarty.
"Yes. When I was eating the light cheesecake, I had an immature idea in my mind. What we are going to do next is to teach the detective, who has been causing me trouble, a lesson." Professor Moriarty closed his eyes. The next step was to investigate the rumor and the person behind it.
Chen Ze didn't know that the cake he made had inspired Moriarty. He was cutting vegetables in the kitchen.
"Manager," Betty came in.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ze asked as he cut the vegetables.
"Well, there are no customers now." Betty had a fawning look on her face as if she had a guilty conscience.
"So?" Chen Ze looked at her with narrowed eyes. Chen Ze guessed what she wanted to do.
After all, when he used to work, he often had this idea. That was to get off work early and go home to rest until he felt good.
"It's that … Recently, Lindsay has been staying up late to make games. Last night, she almost died. I … I'm a little worried …" Betty bit her lip lightly. She also knew that her idea was too much.
After all, Chen Ze's place could be said to be a very good place to work. The salary was high, and they could even get an advance payment. Chen Ze also often gave out benefits. Most importantly, the work was leisurely.
This kind of work was like a welfare agency. Betty felt that if it was in the Positive Plane or even the Negative Plane, there would be a lot of people fighting for it.
"Lindsay almost died? What happened? "Chen Ze immediately grasped the key point.
Chen Ze knew about Lindsay. After all, there were often people urging him to update the strange game here.
Moreover, she was a genius, a computer genius. She started from scratch and could now make games by herself.
"She's always in front of the computer. I called her, but she ignored me. Also, the dark circles under her eyes are very serious." Betty was very worried about her friend's health. After all, succubi could also die.
"I see … Okay, then you can get off work early today. Let Lindsay take care of her body." Chen Ze nodded. There weren't any customers now anyway. Moreover, after Betty left, he could try out the specific effects of the glasses.
"Thank you, Manager!"
