Someone resigned recently from the restaurant

There is already someone at that seat, but Alex doesn't care at all. He walks directly to the seat and just stands against the wall near that person.

The man looks up at Alex and feels puzzled. Because of Alex, he eats very quickly and finishes eating in a short while. Then he glares at Alex, gets up and leaves quietly at the end.

After the man leaves, Alex sits down and looks out. He could see the corner here, but because of the direction, he couldn't see the license plate.

In other words, what Dong saw at that time might not be his own car. This possibility does exist. Renting a car can perfectly solve this problem.

And it is normal for Alice to get on his father's car because of Alex.

Then there was the note. In Dong's diary, he wrote that Alex left a note on his seat.

However, Alex had no impression of his action, and he could guarantee that he was very sober at the time, otherwise he would not have deduced so many things.

How did this happen? He couldn't figure it out yet.

At this time, the waiter shouts, "The meal for number 144 is ready."

Alex knows that it is his number. He stands up with crutches and goes slowly to the bar to get the meal. The waiter sees his appearance and says apologetically,

"I'm sorry, I didn't see your situation before. In this way, you are not able to move, I will help you carry it right now."

Alex shakes his head and refuses, "No, I can do it by myself, thanks ."

"It's okay, I'll help you, please wait a moment." Seeing the waiter's insistence, Alex does not refuse anymore.

The waiter holds the plate and shouts to the kitchen, "Nicola, come out and keep an eye on it."

Then he turns to Alex and says with an apologetic smile,

"I'm sorry, someone just resigned recently and we haven't hired anyone yet, so we're a little too busy in the restaurant. Usually, for people like you, we'll deliver dishes to them in person."

Alex narrows his eyes. Someone resigned here?

He looks at the waiter and wants to ask who resigned, but seeing that he is so busy at this moment, Alex decides to ask later.

Returning to his seat, Alex thinks of the waiter's words. If there was something wrong with the resigned waiter, then it was entirely possible that this person had left the note without him noticing.

This person only needed to put the note under the paper on the plate in advance to make it look like he had left it on purpose.

This way, it can be explained that the resigned clerk might have been arranged by his father.

After seeing Alex, his father asked this person to put the note under the paper on the plate, and after he left, his father might have also told this person to make sure that Dong saw the note.

Dong didn't know Alex well, and even if he did, how could he have thought that someone had framed Alex on purpose?

So after seeing the note, Dong immediately thought that Alex left that note for him.

Now things are gradually becoming clear, as long as he finds the resigned clerk, everything will be clear.

Alex gets very excited at this time, but he does not lose his composure. When the number of customers in the store gradually decreases, he thinks that the time is right, walks up to the clerk and asks,

"Hello, can I ask why the clerk who you said resigned before? I see that your store is doing very well."

The clerk looks at Alex warily,

"Why are you asking this?"

Alex smiles and says,

"You misunderstands, I have a relative who is not well educated and wants to find a job in the city. Because of her low education, I have not found a suitable one yet. Didn't I just hear you say that you are planning to recruit people recently, so I come to ask, can I?"

The clerk calms down a little but is still wary, and asks,

"Then why don't you just ask me directly? Why do you ask her stuff?"

Alex explains,

"My relative is from a small place. This is her first time coming in a big city like ours. I have to take good care of her as much as possible, otherwise what kind of person will I be in the eyes of my relatives?

Thus, I want to know the real reason why this person resigned."

Alex takes out 100 euros from his wallet and asks, "Is this OK?"

The clerk sees the 100 euros, hesitates for a moment, takes the money and looks around, and whispers,

"I actually don't know why she suddenly resigned. She was working well before, but she just left without asking for the remaining salary. So weird, right?"

Resigning suddenly without asking for salary, it would be truly strange if there was no problem?

Alex gets more certain of his guess.

He continues to ask, "Do you have this person's information?"

The clerk looks at Alex with hesitation, "This leaks multiple information, and I don't know what you do, what if..."

Alex waves his hand to interrupt immediately, takes out another 100 euros from his wallet, and asks, "What now?"

This time the clerk doesn't take it. Seeing this scene, Alex knows that this waiter still wants to raise the price, and says coldly,

"That's enough, you are not the only one who knows."

The clerk thinks about this, takes the money and says, "Wait a minute, I'll get her work card for you."

The clerk walks towards their employee rest room, and soon the clerk comes out with a work card in his hand, then Alex notices that he has something else in his hand.

The clerk hands the things to Alex and says,

"A work badge, and this is her health certificate. She didn't take it either, and I'll give them all to you. Well, that's all I know about her."

Alex nods and says, "Thank you."

Seeing Alex is about to leave, the clerk grabs his sleeve suddenly and says nervously,

"Are you going to do anything bad?"

Alex smiles, "How is that possible? I'm working in the store opposite exactly."

Alex points to his store next moment, "That's it."

The clerk let him go with peace of mind then.

After leaving the fast food restaurant, Alex looks at that work badge and health certificate. There is a photo on the health certificate. It is a middle-aged woman named Tao apparently, but Alex is sure that he didn't know her before.

Alex takes the work badge and dials the number on it. The phone is turned off. Alex sneers, as expected.

There is also an address on the health certificate, but to be honest, Alex doesn't hold out hope for it. He feels that with his father's cautiousness, he wouldn't leave such an obvious flaw evidently.

But Alex still has to go and takes a look, just in case?

He takes a taxi to her address, but as expected, Tao has already moved away, and he doesn't know where she moves nowadays.

The clues ends here, but Alex is not discouraged, because Tao's abnormality tells him that his inference was correct.

In fact, at this point, Alex has confirmed his guess, and it doesn't seem to make any difference to him whether he could find Tao or not.

But it would be better to find her. If the police found any clues later, he has to keep a trump card for himself. If he only relies on his own mouth, plus Chen and others' suspicion of him, the police would definitely not believe him at all, and he has to produce the evidence.

And Tao is this "trump card" exactly. He is now afraid that Tao has died, but thinking of his father's cruelty, he actually has no hope of finding Tao alone.

Even so, he still has to try his best to look for her, after all, Tao is the key.

And Alex thinks that he is indeed unable to find someone in a big city of 60 million, so he could only ask the police for help.

Thinking of this, he decides to do two things at the same time, asking the police for help while testing his father.

He returns to the store again and finds the clerk. This time he takes out 2000 euros and says to her, "Call the police."

The clerk looks completely stunned and asks, "What happened? Why call the police?"

"You don't need to know the reason, and you just need to call the police. The reason is that Tao made an appointment with you to go out for dinner after she resigned, but she didn't show up. You called her, but her phone was turned off. You went to her house, but she wasn't at home and didn't answer me anymore.

Combined with the recent uproar over the missing case, you are extremely worried that something happened to her, then you are eager to ask help from police. Get it?"

The clerk gets a little nervous, and he is really terrified that he has gotten into a big trouble now.

Alex looks at him and comforts him patiently,

"Don't worry, you have nothing to do here. I'm actually telling the truth. I'm also looking for her right now, but I can't find her."

"Then why don't you call the police by yourself?"
