Chapter 268 Food Poisoning
Di Chen did not expect her to be so confident, and could not help but speak again: "Where do you get the confidence from? In addition to David, are there other designers recruited from abroad?"
Pei Zhiwan smiled mysteriously: "Why should I tell you?"
After that, she turned and left.
Di Chen stared at her back in a daze.
And a pair of eyes stared at Di Chen in a hidden place.
Pei Zhiwan and Xu Qinghe helped Mrs. Lin with her work.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Ye, the two old sisters, were whispering in the backyard.
After more than 50 years of separation, there are naturally endless feelings after separation.
Courtyard No. 8 invited many people this time.
Old Master Lin wanted to let everyone in Tongnan know that their Lin family had merged into one.
Now that the things he estimated have been handled, he no longer has to worry about it, so he can enjoy the family affection to his heart's content.
The Ye family, far away in Zhongdu, also received an invitation letter.
Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye also came.
They did not go to see Mrs. Ye first, but greeted Mr. Di and others first, as if they had completely forgotten that there was still a mother in the Ye family.
Because of the grudges of the previous generation, Mr. Ye was also very indifferent to Mr. Lin, and just said a few perfunctory and polite words.
Mr. Lin naturally did not care about him, but he was just a young man.
There are nearly a hundred tables in the front yard, back yard, and inside the house.
The banquet is provided by the mobile dining car of Lin's Hotel. The chef cooks on the car. There are a total of five dining cars parked in front of and behind the house of No. 8 Courtyard. One dining car is responsible for about 20 tables of banquets.
This kind of large occasion is often undertaken by Lin's Hotel, so the buffet is quite good.
The banquet has begun.
Master Di first came on stage to speak, congratulating the Lin family for being united.
Then Master Lin and Lin Jia and his son came on stage to thank their relatives and friends for attending.
Because the banquet was divided into several places, the backyard was the main banquet venue, and the other banquet venues were projected on a large screen.
In short, it was lively and harmonious.
The No. 8 Courtyard, which once made people tremble with fear, became a sea of joy, with fireworks bursting in the air.
Master Lin saw this grand occasion and couldn't help but burst into tears, but it was a pity that my mother and my wife couldn't see it.
Especially my wife, he didn't even say a gentle word to her.
But she raised his son for him without regrets, and before she died, she was still thinking about reconciling them.
Such a woman is hard to find in the world.
Grandpa Lin even began to blame himself.
Was what he did really worth it?
For his own wish, he sorted out those two secret books, which caused the tragedy of three generations.
Grandpa Di watched from the side and understood what he was thinking.
Any words would be pale for this matter. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and everything was self-evident.
From now on, look forward and cherish the present.
Grandpa Lin turned his head to look at him and nodded solemnly.
"Oh no, someone fainted."
Someone suddenly screamed.
Then there were screams one after another.
People fainted one after another in the banquet hall.
"What's the matter? What happened?"
The guests questioned, and guests continued to fall down.
Pei Zhiwan's face suddenly sank, and she realized that food poisoning might have occurred.
Then she stood up, walked to the nearest unconscious person, checked carefully, and took his pulse.
"Zhi Wan, is it food poisoning?"
Pei Zhi Wan pondered for a moment, nodded and replied: "It's not certain now, but it's most likely food poisoning."
As she spoke, she took out a silver needle bag from her body, took out a thick silver stick from it, and handed it to Lin Feng beside her.
"Immediately use the silver stick to test the poison of each dish one by one to find out which dish has a problem."
Lin Feng took the silver stick and did as he was told.
Pei Zhi Wan continued to check the other unconscious people. The situation was basically the same, and there was no underlying disease. It was confirmed that it was poisoning.
"Zhi Wan, there is something wrong with this dish of fish. The silver stick has turned black." Lin Feng shouted while looking at the silver stick in his hand.
The scene fell into chaos again. The braised carp was very delicious. Except for those who didn't eat fish, almost everyone ate it.
Hearing that there was something wrong with the fish, those who had not yet been poisoned suddenly fainted due to psychological effects. After
determining the source of the poison, Pei Zhiwan immediately checked the fish and side dishes, and quickly concluded that it should be a problem with the fish itself.
In other words, this batch of fish was fed with chronic poison in advance.
When it was made into dishes and people ate it, it would cause secondary poisoning.
When people started to be poisoned, Lin Feng called the police.
At this time, the police came and the ambulance came.
But there were too many people poisoned. Anyone who ate the fish was poisoned and fell into
a coma. The ambulance couldn't get over, so they
went to the emergency room on the spot. Pei Zhiwan gave a method of detoxification, which was approved by the doctor, and the medicine was urgently transferred from the hospital.
The poisoned people woke up one after another. The doctor checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and Pei Zhiwan also took their pulse.
"If anyone is still worried, you can go to the hospital for a check-up. I will pay for the check-up." When
Grandpa Lin heard this, he hurriedly said, "It was my family's banquet. If something went wrong, I should be responsible."
Pei Zhiwan apologized and said, "Grandpa Lin, I have implicated you. The person who poisoned you targeted me."
Grandpa Lin asked in surprise, "What kind of deep hatred is this that requires such revenge?"
Pei Zhiwan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, the police will investigate it thoroughly, and we will know it naturally when the time comes."
Grandpa Lin nodded and said nothing more.
After the poisoning incident, the guests lost their appetite and no one wanted to stay any longer, so they left soon.
The only people left were the dining car and the chef on it, namely the Pei family and the Di family.
Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye also left and took Ye Mingya away.
Pei Zhiwan provided the police with the possibility that there might be a problem with the supply of live fish, and someone poisoned the live fish.
At the same time, she provided the possibility that Pei Guoqiang, Zhang Hongmei, and Pei Zhiyi's family were all suspicious.
The police withdrew their records last night.
The dining car and the service staff on the dining car were specially sent by the Lin's Hotel to prepare buffets, and there were no problems with them.
Lin Jia asked them to clean up the tableware on the scene, deal with the poisonous food, and then they could go back.
Courtyard No. 8 suddenly became quiet.
The Di family, the Pei family, and the Lin Jia family were sitting in the living room, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
"Uncle Lin, I'm really sorry. Our Pei family has caused you trouble." Pei Zhensheng apologized with shame.
He also believed that this poisoning incident was definitely related to Pei Zhiyi's parents, otherwise it would be impossible for someone to poison the No. 8 Courtyard Banquet. He knew Lin Jia well. He was a Confucian businessman who did not make enemies in the business world and could get along with everyone. But
Old Master Lin shook his head slowly and said, "The matter has not been clarified yet, so it's hard to say what happened. I think it may be related to my old enemies. Although it has spanned more than half a century, they may not be able to find me. Maybe I was still reckless." "
We shouldn't hold a group banquet with such fanfare, otherwise these problems would not have occurred."
