Chapter 361 Look, your wife is on the Legal Channel.
The food poisoning incident developed quickly and has continued to attract great attention from the public.
From that day on, Shen Que had been busy dealing with this matter and did not have much time to care about Meng Zhiyi. He could only find time to call her every day.
Meng Zhiyi was also busy. Knowing that she could not help Shen Que with the company's problems, she turned to investigate the food channels.
Thanks to the Shen family's strong network of contacts in the capital, the source of the ingredients that caused the poisoning was reported to Shen Que not long after the incident.
Although on the surface, the person who provided this batch of ingredients has completely disappeared, there is no progress after a round of investigation.
But Meng Zhiyi still used his own means to trace back layer by layer and found the original source of the goods.
A logistics warehouse.
When Meng Zhiyi arrived on his motorcycle, the logistics warehouse was crowded.
She wore a mask and walked casually inside following the clues she had found.
Meng Zhiyi walked very slowly, observing the surveillance cameras installed outside each warehouse along the way.
When she was investigating secretly, she found out that many traces had been erased manually. If she didn't have some technical knowledge, she would not have been able to find the cat droppings.
There are only two possibilities for erasing all traces so that the police cannot find any clues: either the suspect has a powerful background and extensive connections, or some people do nothing.
Of course, no matter which possibility it is, Meng Zhiyi will not let it go.
This time, it's not just a matter of crossing her bottom line; it's extremely dangerous. No matter what the purpose of the person behind it is or who is protecting her, she will make them pay the price.
In about half an hour, Meng Zhiyi finished visiting the entire food area of the material warehouse.
One of the closed business operators caught her attention.
Coincidentally, this business operator was the source of the goods that I had found.
"Sister, is the boss of this shop quitting?" Meng Zhiyi peeled a lollipop and put it in her mouth, then came to the next room and asked.
The lady boss who was washing vegetables looked up when she heard this, looked Meng Zhiyi up and down, and replied slowly: "Well, the warehouse was sold a few days ago."
Meng Zhiyi pretended to be distressed and said, "Oh, I signed a contract with this boss some time ago, how come he ran away after returning from a trip abroad?"
The lady boss didn't want to pay much attention to Meng Zhiyi at first, but when she heard about the gossip, she immediately stopped what she was doing and came over curiously: "What? You signed a contract with them?"
"Yes, my family runs a restaurant, and we get some seafood from here. I followed my brother here before, and saw that his products were pretty good, so I signed a three-year contract!"
"Three years?" The proprietress was surprised, and then she looked at Meng Zhiyi with a different look than at the beginning, and whispered, "Little girl, you are at a big loss."
Meng Zhiyi: "I paid a deposit of 500,000 yuan, and now everyone has run away. Isn't this a huge loss?"
"You may not understand much because you just came back. Something big happened recently." The proprietress came over and spoke in a low voice.
"What's the big deal?" Meng Zhiyi also pretended to be curious and leaned forward.
"A well-known restaurant chain here used seafood from his company and had an accident, which caused food poisoning and death for consumers."
The lady boss seemed to be worried about being overheard, so she took Meng Zhiyi and walked a few steps into her shop, and continued, "Others may not know, but I know very well that the ingredients came from his house."
"Oh my God!" Meng Zhiyi pretended to be surprised, and then asked anxiously: "Such a big thing, do the police know about it?"
"I don't know about that. I know because I saw them loading goods in the middle of the night when I went to the restroom. There was information about the catering company on the truck, so I kept an eye out."
After the boss lady finished speaking, she said anxiously, "By the way, you can't tell anyone about this. I just wanted to remind you not to cooperate with him because I felt sorry for you being cheated."
Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi's eyes slightly turned, and he said, "But the money we paid can't just go to waste. I came here today to see if I can find them to get the money back, and to find new partners."
When the lady boss heard that she was looking for a new partner, her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Young boss, why don't you take a look at our company? I have also been in this business for more than 20 years. My reputation and quality are top-notch."
Meng Zhiyi: "Really? Then give me a business card, and I'll go back and ask my brother to evaluate it. If there's no problem, I'll work with you directly."
"Wait a minute, I'll get you a business card." The proprietress happily ran to the table and got a business card.
After receiving the business card, Meng Zhiyi looked at the proprietress with some embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Sister, you have been doing business here for so many years, do you know where the people next door are from? I have to find a way to get the deposit back."
Because of the tendency to cooperate, the boss's wife became less wary of Meng Zhiyi. Instead, in order to facilitate the cooperation, she did not mind doing her some favors.
"I'm telling you, but you must never say that I said it."
Meng Zhiyi smiled and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, big sister. We are all doing business, and I understand some principles."
The proprietress waved for Meng Zhiyi to come closer and said in a low voice, "Next door, they are from Yunxian Township. They are very famous in the local area. If you ask anyone who is engaged in logistics in Beijing, basically everyone knows them."
"Okay, thank you, big sister. I'll go back and tell my brother and call you when the time comes." Meng Zhiyi pocketed the business card and left with satisfaction.
After leaving the logistics warehouse, when Meng Zhiyi was about to ride back, he found that the helmet he had placed on the motorcycle was missing.
"!?" Meng Zhiyi looked around and stood there for a few seconds before he was sure that his helmet had been stolen.
She gritted her teeth in anger, then angrily took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Shen Que.
【Unhappy!!! Extremely unhappy!!!】
【My helmet was stolen! 】
That helmet was a gift from Shen Que, it’s very expensive!
At this moment, Shen Que was busy in a meeting and was unable to see the WeChat message in time.
Meng Zhiyi didn't really want him to reply immediately, but after complaining to him, she rode back in a depressed mood.
As expected, Meng Zhiyi was gloriously stopped by the traffic police on the way.
Not only was he verbally educated, but he was also fined.
That would have been all. As traffic safety laws are being promoted recently, the traffic police even pulled Meng Zhiyi aside to record a video and posted it on public platforms.
In the video, Meng Zhiyi acted like a good kid and very seriously admitted his mistake of riding a bike without a helmet.
When Shen Que was free to look for her after finishing his work, Meng Zhiyi had just finished being lectured and was riding back miserably.
When Shen Que saw the WeChat message, he smiled helplessly at first. He was about to say that he would buy her a new one, but then his good friend Yang Xingwen sent him a video.
He also sent a message: [Look, your wife is on the legal channel. ]
