Chapter 347 I've all seen suspicious people

Wan Qiqi was pushed into the restaurant.

Liang Pengfei pushed her with tremendous force, as if he had exhausted all his patience along the way.

Wan Qiqi stumbled and nearly fell.

Fortunately, there was a table in front of me. I staggered a few steps, braced myself on the table, and then sat down on the bench.

She glanced back at Liang Pengfei, then was drawn to the cries coming from the hall.

The woman crying was an elderly woman who was in charge of cleaning at the restaurant. She was sobbing as she recounted her ordeal of being arrested, and her cries were heartbreaking, making everyone who heard her feel sorry for her.

Wan Qiqi only glanced at it twice before looking away to observe the expressions of the others.

Apart from those in the know who remained relatively calm, everyone else showed signs of panic, and some of the younger ones even appeared to be on the verge of tears.

Zhu Chengye was nowhere to be seen in the crowd!

Wu Gousheng stopped beside Wan Qiqi and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qi, what do we do now?"

"Stay quiet and wait for the authorities to investigate," Wan Qiqi replied calmly.

The current situation is actually not bad.

If that person tried to kill me today, they will inevitably choose other people in Xinglong Restaurant as scapegoats.

The government brought all the people from Xinglong Restaurant here for investigation, both to screen them and to provide protection.

Just as they entered, a commotion arose outside, with everyone cursing Xinglong Restaurant for being unscrupulous and demanding that the government severely punish them.

On one side, there was abuse.

On one side, it was noisy.

Wan Qiqi was caught in the middle, and her headache, which had just subsided, flared up again.

She could feel the bulging veins on her temples, throbbing between her fingertips, a way of expressing her dissatisfaction with the present.

The headache made her brows furrow and she seemed a little impatient.

"Quiet! What's all the noise about?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Pengfei spoke up again, silencing the noise in the hall.

The old woman washing vegetables had her mouth half-open, her eyes brimming with glistening tears, as if she too was stunned and dared not let them fall easily.

They then noticed Wan Qiqi's arrival and tried to rush over to ask for details, but were stopped by a look from Liang Pengfei.

Liang Pengfei is on the left, and Wu Gousheng is on the right.

The two of them seemed to be Wan Qiqi's left and right protectors, and there was no sense of incongruity between them.

Wan Qiqi rubbed her temples to ease her discomfort before speaking, "Someone falsely accused us of feeding our guests unclean food, but in reality, someone put poison in the teapot."

"Everyone, think carefully about yesterday's opening. Did you see any suspicious people?"

Lei Zi was startled and asked, "Didn't we find laxatives in the soup yesterday? How did it turn into a teapot?"

"A feint, using the soup to divert attention and lower our guard." Wan Qiqi closed her eyes and kept rubbing her temples.

Upon hearing this, Liang Pengfei looked at Wan Qiqi, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected this woman to even know about the feint attack tactic.

Actually, quite a few people know this method, but few use the professional terminology.

At the very least, such words should not come from the mouth of a village woman.

After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, the quiet hall was filled with murmurs again.

Many people are discussing who could be so cruel as to poison the tea, harming so many innocent people.

Only a few were seriously discussing their experiences from yesterday and working together to find the suspect.

The first person to sit down in front of Wan Qiqi was Xiao Liuzi.

He may have just been crying; his eyes were slightly red and swollen, and there was fear in them.

After sitting down, his hand on the table trembled slightly, and his eyes glanced at Liang Pengfei intentionally or unintentionally.

Each glance only amplified the fear.

"Manager Wan... I... I heard Manager Zhu say yesterday that the suspicious guests sitting in the hall just sat there watching the performance after they finished eating, without making any other moves."

Wan Qiqi nodded slightly, "When Young Master Feng was pulling Du Ruo along, did you see any suspicious staff?"

"Huh?" Xiao Liu was stunned. "I was focused on the customers and didn't notice the waiter... No, I saw a very tall and thin guy. He didn't do what Boss Zhu asked, and I even said a few words to him, but... but I didn't see his face."

Wan Qiqi nodded.

The person Xiao Liuzi saw and the person Chen Yongnian was chasing should be the same person!

At this point, the restaurant staff behind them started talking one after another.

“I saw him too, and I even spoke to him for a bit. He sounded quite young.”

“I saw his profile. He had very long eyelashes. I even laughed at him for having such long eyelashes, even though he was a grown man.”

"And me, I saw a burn mark on his arm."

"I thought to myself, he's so tall, and his clothes are too short. Why doesn't he ask Manager Zhu to exchange them for a set that fits properly?"

...

In a short while, several pieces of information were reported.

These pieces of information, when strung together, can form a complete picture.

But Wan Qiqi felt it was too much of a coincidence, so coincidental that it made people think that the person was someone who could make everyone discover his existence.

But... why?

The headache that had just subsided struck again, so Wan Qiqi closed her eyes to interrupt her thoughts and continued massaging herself.

Si Xi suddenly walked over and knelt down in front of Wan Qi Qi.

She lowered her head, tears falling to the ground, and choked out, "Manager Wan, it's my fault. Yesterday when I went to fetch water, I saw that person wiping the kettle..."

Wan Qiqi appeared remarkably calm and said, "It's alright, everyone is paying attention to the guests."

She believed it was her own doing and that someone else should be assigned to watch the scene.

As fate would have it, Feng Gan harassed a dancer and entangled Chen Yongnian.

Zhu Chengye happened to be with distinguished guests and couldn't leave.

She always felt that everything was deliberately designed, but she couldn't guess what the design was.
