"It's a pity that you didn't notice it. After the debris landed on your shoes, most of it would fall off while you were walking, but a very small part of it would get into the crevices of your shoes, but you didn't notice it at all … However, it was because you didn't notice it that it became the evidence of your crime of scratching the paint. Otherwise, even if the police came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to you. Haha, no matter how cunning you are, you can't escape my sharp eyes. What else do you have to say now? "
Li Rui stood up after he finished speaking and looked at the crippled man in front of him proudly, like a detective who had solved a big case.
The crippled man squatted on the ground, his face ashen as he looked at the paint chips in the gaps between his shoes in a daze. He couldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death, but he had no choice because the truth was right in front of him.
After Wen Moshi heard Li Rui's reasonable analysis, she was surprised and happy, angry and indignant. She said angrily, "It really was you! You … you're too wicked! I'm going to call the police! "After saying that, she raised her phone angrily.
The crippled man was shocked. He stood up suddenly and shouted, "Don't … Don't call the police!"
Li Rui sneered and said, "It's fine if you don't call the police. Then we'll settle it privately. Tell me, how are you going to compensate my friend for the loss of his car?"
The lame man had already wilted. His previous arrogance was gone forever. In front of solid evidence, he even lost the willpower to quibble. He said listlessly, "I … I'll pay for it. I'll pay for it. You guys name a price."
Li Rui turned to look at Wen Moshi and asked her in an extremely low voice, "How much do you want?"
Wen Moshi didn't hear his question at all. She just looked at him in disbelief. Her delicate eyes widened as if it was the first time she had met him.
Li Rui saw that she didn't answer, so he decided for her and said, "Twenty thousand yuan!"
The crippled man shouted in fear, "That's too much. Twenty thousand yuan is too much. Why don't you rob me? I don't have that much money. You're bullying me."
Li Rui said, "I won't bargain with you. It's twenty thousand. Ten thousand will be used to paint the rear of the car, and the other ten thousand will be used to repair the damage to the car. If you don't give it to me, I'll call the police. Do you think we lack this 20,000 yuan? "
The crippled man said with a sad face, "That's too much. It's worth three months of my pension."
Li Ruixin was surprised. This guy's pension was quite high. He guessed that he had a good salary before he retired. He didn't talk nonsense with him. He took out his phone from his trouser pocket and pretended to call the police.
The crippled man's expression changed greatly. He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. Don't call the police. I'll give it to you right now."
There was an ATM machine not far away. Li Rui followed the lame man and quickly took out twenty thousand yuan. After receiving it, he reprimanded the lame man, but did not beat him up as he had said before and let him go.
Li Rui returned to Wen Moshi and handed her the twenty thousand yuan.
Wen Moshi hesitated for a moment and only took a small pile. She said, "A few thousand yuan for the paint on the rear of the car is enough."
Li Rui said, "Take it all. The rest is for you to repair the damage to your work and the damage to your mental health. If you still think it's too much, you can take the time to treat me to a meal. "As he spoke, he stuffed the rest of the money into her hands.
Wen Moshi wrinkled her small and straight nose and took the money helplessly. She suddenly thought of something and asked in a strange tone, "How did you know that the paint would end up in his shoes?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I didn't know."
Wen Moshi stared at him with a strange expression and said, "You didn't know? Then why did you search his shoes the moment you came up? "
Li Rui shrugged and said, "In fact, no matter where I searched, I could find the paint scraps. However, only his shoes could be used as a container to store the paint scraps for a long time. Logically speaking, it made the most sense."
Wen Moshi was even more confused. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at him, using her gaze to signal for him to continue.
Li Rui explained, "When I came out just now, I went to the rear of your car and rubbed the scratches with my hand. You should have seen it, right?"
Wen Moshi nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, she realized something. Her eyes lit up, but she couldn't say it out loud because she hadn't thought of the key point.
Li Rui continued, "A part of the paint on both sides of the scratches was scratched but didn't fall off. It would fall off with a light touch. When I touched the scratches, I used a little force and my fingers were stained with paint scraps. After that, as long as I wanted to, I could find paint scraps on any part of the crippled man's body. Because wherever my hand touched, there would be paint scraps. Now you understand, right? I was just framing that idiot. Of course, the word 'fraud' sounds more accurate. Actually, I was very worried just now that the crippled man wasn't wearing this pair of shoes when he committed the crime. Then, I would have thought that I was smart. However, it doesn't matter. As long as he said that he wasn't wearing this pair of shoes, it would be equivalent to admitting the fact that he scratched the car. "
Wen Moshi listened to his explanation, and her expression changed from serious to relaxed, and then from relaxed to pleasantly surprised. By the end, she was already smiling, and her face was flushed red. When Li Rui finished speaking, she suddenly hit him and said coquettishly, "You're really something! You're too bad! "
Li Ruiqi said, "Hey? I helped you seek justice. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you're saying that I'm bad. Aren't you too mean? "
Wen Moshi couldn't help but laugh. She glared at him, but her eyes were full of smiles. Because of this, she looked charming, forming a sharp contrast with her usual cold and handsome appearance.
Li Rui looked at her girlish appearance and praised in his heart, "This girl is really beautiful!"
"Have you eaten?"
Wen Moshi suddenly asked.
Li Rui shook his head and said, "I haven't had the time …"
Wen Moshi said, "Alright, I'll treat you to a meal as a thank you for seeking justice for me."
Li Rui said, "You don't have to be so polite, but I have something to ask you."
Wen Moshi raised her eyebrows and said, "Then let's talk while eating. I haven't lived in Qingyang for long, so I don't know which restaurant has the best food. "
Li Rui said without thinking, "I'll take you to Drunken Immortal Restaurant."
Although Wen Moshi had a cold personality, she did things straightforwardly. She didn't say anything unnecessary and directly got into the car. Li Rui sat in the passenger seat obediently and played the role of a temporary navigator.
When they arrived at Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Li Rui asked for a private room. After sitting down with Wen Moshi, he ordered four signature dishes. When the waiter walked out of the private room, he said to Wen Moshi, "I'm not going to eat a good meal just because you're treating. I just want you to try a few more signature dishes here."
Wen Moshi raised her eyebrows out of habit, indicating that she didn't care about this matter. She said, "I still don't know your name."
Li Rui reported his name, position, and unit.
Wen Moshi had no interest in his official position. She asked leisurely, "Don't you have something to ask me?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "May I ask if you're Mr. Wen Xingwen's daughter?"
Wen Moshi said calmly, "Did someone recognize the seal?"
Seeing that she didn't deny it, Li Rui naturally confirmed it. She was indeed Wen Xingwen's daughter. He smiled bitterly and said, "You might not know, but because of the seal you used to help me in an emergency, it caused a lot of trouble …" He told her everything about the trip to the provincial agricultural university and the painting of the old temple in the mountains. When he finished, the first cold dish was already served.
Wen Moshi didn't seem to be interested in what he said at all. After listening to him, she didn't say anything. She just picked up her chopsticks and tasted the cold dish.
Li Rui said in surprise, "Don't you know the value of your father's painting? You actually casually printed his seal for me. Aren't you worried that I or other people with ulterior motives will use that seal to make a fortune?"
Wen Moshi put down her chopsticks and commented, "This' Zhentou with grapefruit juice 'is not bad. It's moderately sour and salty, refreshing and delicious. It's also seasoned with grapefruit juice, which makes it more fragrant and sweet. It's definitely made by a famous chef. You ordered it well. "
Li Rui was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Is that so? Since you like it, then eat more. I often come here and think that this dish is delicious. It's basically a reserved dish. I'll definitely order it when I come. "
Wen Moshi finished commenting on the dish and replied, "You bought the painting to give it to someone, not to sell it, so there's no possibility of using that seal to make an issue of it. Also, when I was painting, you didn't disturb me. Instead, you waited quietly for me to finish painting. I think that with your attitude, I can let you use that seal. "
Li Rui couldn't help but feel a little smug when he heard that. He felt that his behavior the night before was quite gentlemanly. He smiled and said, "Your father won't be happy if you use his seal, right?"
Wen Moshi said, "He gave me the seal, so naturally, I can use it. He won't care whether I use it or not. However, that painting of yours is the first time I'm using his seal. The starting point is to save you. I've never used it before, and I won't use it again in the future. After all, deceiving the world to gain fame isn't a good thing. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "It seems that I'm very lucky. The only time you've used your father's seal in your life, and I caught it."
Wen Moshi pursed her lips and said, "I've already sold that painting to you and used the seal. It's impossible for me to change it for you. If the other party insists on not accepting it, then you can keep it. Later, you can go to my shop and choose another one. Consider it a gift from me. "
Li Rui was very happy, but he said, "How can I accept it? It's better to buy it at the original price. It's not like you don't spend anything when you open a shop. The expenses must be very high. "
Wen Moshi said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Didn't you say that we're friends?"
Li Rui was even happier. Seeing that the drink had been delivered, he got up and poured her a full cup. He smiled and said, "I have to thank that crippled man. If it weren't for him, how could I be friends with you?"
