Chapter 82 You did it on purpose!
What did she say? Who was she calling? How did she know where the security camera was? How did she know she was behind it?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xia Chun's mind, but before she could think about them, a chilling feeling shot up her spine and rushed into her mind. Her scalp instantly went numb, and without thinking, she shouted, "Not good!"
Everyone in the monitoring room was startled by her and turned to look at her.
"Mr. Xia, what's wrong?" the bar owner asked in panic. "What happened? What's wrong?"
"..." Xia Chun couldn't answer. She just instinctively knew that something was wrong. She pursed her lips tightly, didn't answer, and subconsciously wanted to contact that person.
But just as she took out her phone to press the icon, she realized it.
"Juice...orange juice!" Xia Chun suddenly grabbed the bar owner's arm, a hint of panic in his eyes. "Did you put something in the orange juice?"
The long nail stickers on her fingers dug deep into the bar owner's arm. The bar owner almost cried out in pain, and he kept breathing in and out. "Put it... put it. As you ordered, as soon as Du Wanwan left her seat, add the ingredients to her drink. You said it couldn't take more than half a minute, and leave immediately after you're done. Du Wanwan will realize it's not you in a minute, and after she recognizes the wrong person, she'll go back to her seat and drink the rest of the drink in one gulp out of anger."
With every word he said, Xia Chun's face became uglier and the color on her face became less. In the end, she almost lost all her color.
The bar owner panicked even more and couldn't help but repeat, "It was all done according to your instructions..."
Before she could finish her words, Xia Chun tightly closed her eyes. She seemed to take a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Then she opened her eyes and quickly ordered, "Notify the bar immediately to take away that glass of orange juice!"
But after giving the order, the bar owner did not move.
"What are you standing there for!" Xia Chun shouted, "Hurry up!"
"Xia... Mr. Xia..." The bar owner looked at the surveillance screen, almost petrified, and tremblingly said, "It's too late..."
Xia Chun suddenly turned his head to look at the surveillance screen.
In Du Wanwan's seat, which should have been empty, was sitting her assistant Pei Xingyao!
When did he appear?
No one could answer. When Du Wanwan stood up, all their attention was focused on her. So, no one noticed when Pei Xingyao appeared!
It's over... Xia Chun took a step back involuntarily and slumped onto the sofa. She tried to calm herself down and think of a solution, but in that instant, the images on the surveillance screen froze.
"Hurry..." Xia Chun had just said one word when the door to the monitoring room was kicked open with a loud bang. A gun covered with talismans, emitting a golden light, pointed menacingly at everyone.
"Don't move!"
"All of them! Put your hands on your head and squat against the wall!"
No... Xia Chun screamed in his heart and pressed the icon of the mobile phone at the last second, but the moment he touched the screen, his whole body froze, as if petrified.
"Arrests and leaks will be subject to immobilization spells. I hope you won't give me the opportunity to learn what the crime of resisting arrest is."
A nonchalant voice sounded, and the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Xuanguan Bureau walked in with his ID in his hand.
"Xuanguan Bureau Criminal Investigation Team, we've received a report from the public that your bar is suspected of buying and selling illegal talismans. Now, please raise your hands and cooperate with the investigation. Do you need me to explain the charge of resisting arrest?"
The Criminal Investigation Team of the Xuanguan Bureau? Xia Chun closed his eyes in despair, feeling the cold handcuffs being shackled onto his hands.
"Wow!" The deputy captain of the criminal investigation team whistled as he watched what was happening. "Old Zhong, Old Zhong, come over here and take a look! I've never handled a case so easily. We caught the culprit red-handed! The suspect has already prepared all the evidence for us!"
Evidence? Xia Chun's last bit of strength was drained away.
monitor……
She didn't have time to delete the surveillance video. In order to monitor whether the bar had followed her orders, the surveillance video captured the entire process of the waiter casting a spell on Du Wanwan in the name of cleaning!
The worst thing is that she was still watching in the monitoring room!
If she was somewhere else instead of in the monitoring room, she could still use the excuse that it was the waiter's personal behavior and that it was his own fault. But, but she happened to be in the monitoring room...
But...
Now, it's too late to say anything...
Xia Chun felt so weak that she was almost carried out of the monitoring room by two patrol officers. Her head was buzzing and blank, and she couldn't think at all.
Only when she passed by the bar hall did she subconsciously move her eyes.
"Du Wanwan..." Xia Chun's eyes suddenly focused as he screamed. "It's you! How dare you plot against me! I want you to die miserably!!!"
Everyone in the bar, from waiters to customers, was taken away for questioning. Only Du Wanwan and her special assistant, Pei Xingyao, remained standing near her desk. A team of inspectors carefully examined her remaining glass of orange juice, while two inspectors took her statement.
She was still wearing the same powder blue sweater, but her hair had returned to its original smooth, straight black color. The long, curly chestnut hair she held in her hand was just a wig.
Hearing the sharp scream, Du Wanwan turned around and looked at her cooperatively, then laughed: "Boss Xia, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Didn't you plot against me?"
"You—" Xia Chun struggled hard, trying to break free from the inspector's grip, but was pinned down tightly, and could only scream. "You did it on purpose! You said that on purpose..."
"What did I say?" Du Wanwan blinked innocently. "This is the first time we've met, and I haven't said anything to you. Oh, by the way, I think my Uncle Meng hasn't contacted you either. Who told you that I need a heroine to save the beauty?"
Xia Chun did not answer. She was taken away directly by the inspector. Alternatively, she could have told the answer to this question in the interrogation room of the Xuanguan Bureau.
Du Wanwan felt a sense of regret for not being able to hear it. At this moment, Zhong Shusui, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Xuanguan Bureau who was in charge of supervising various places, also came over and asked, "How is it?"
"It's preliminarily determined that there's more than one kind of spell in the cup. One of the easier to identify is the 'obedient spell'. The others will need to be tested in detail after we bring it back." The inspector from the Identification Department answered as he carefully sealed the orange juice and the cup, preparing to take them back to the Xuanguan Bureau.
Zhong Shusui nodded, and after the inspection team from the appraisal department left, he crossed his arms, frowned at the young woman playing with her wig, and reminded her, "Confess and you will be treated leniently."
"I swear to heaven and earth, Inspector Zhong, I didn't break any law." Du Wanwan swore innocently, "I was just playing along."
"I know, if you had broken the law, would I let you stand here? I'm asking, why did you act alone? It's very dangerous, you know?" Zhong Shusui resisted the urge to use too harsh a tone, but he really couldn't think about his mood just now.
Zhong Shusui hadn't had much contact with the girl since their previous conversation at the Metaphysical Forensic Identification Department. He had been investigating the sales channels for banned talismans and had heard that Du Wanwan's personal doctor brought the extracted toxins to the Metaphysical Forensic Identification Department almost daily for the metaphysical forensic doctors to process.
Du Wanwan was very quiet, so quiet that Zhong Shusui almost thought her talk of a secret investigation was just some bragging by a little girl. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave work this afternoon, he received a call from this little girl.
What did the little girl say?
Oh, she said, "Inspector Zhong, I think I've found the sales outlet for the banned spells. It's the Sorrowless Bar in this city. But you won't catch them in the act with a surprise raid like this. I'll be your bait. Wait for my assistant to notify you, then rush in. The suspect must be watching in the surveillance room. Your people must take control of the surveillance room immediately and not let them delete the footage, otherwise they'll definitely pin the crime on the waiter, saying it was his personal behavior."
Zhong Shusui almost suspected that he had misheard, or that this little girl was really brave: "You..."
"Inspector Zhong, my personal safety is in your hands. If you can't help me in time, I can't guarantee what my assistant will do to protect my safety."
Du Wanwan finished speaking and hung up the phone. Zhong Shusui was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He immediately called the number back, but it was Du Wanwan's cold assistant who answered the phone.
"Hello, Inspector Zhong, I'm Pei Xingyao."
Zhong Shusui was furious. After talking with Pei Xingyao, he finally understood what had happened.
Du Wanwan got a clue from somewhere that a bar in the city called Chou Bumei was selling banned spells. She also thought that the Du family's long-time rivals were in the bar and were planning to attack her tonight, so she decided to use their tactics against them.
"Isn't this nonsense!" Zhong Shusui was so angry that he almost yelled.
At that moment, he was deeply impressed by how Pei Xingyao had fully cooperated with Du Wanwan. His talent for courting death was almost maxed out! If this was his child, or his girlfriend, he would order them to stand against the wall and scold them for an hour!
But Du Wanwan is neither his girlfriend nor his child. She is the daughter of a famous wealthy family worth 900 billion yuan.
Zhong Shusui had no choice but to rely on his last bit of trust and organize the action. When he received Pei Xingyao's signal and rushed into the bar, he was ready to write a self-criticism.
Unexpectedly, Du Wanwan was right.
The orange juice Chou Bumei had sold her contained a prohibited spell. The surveillance room, where the waiter was immediately apprehended, recorded the entire process of drugging the waiter. Both the bar owner and Xia Tian Entertainment's CEO, Xia Chun, witnessed it firsthand. Even when the inspectors arrived, the waiter didn't dare to conceal the truth and confessed directly.
"My boss told me to do it! I...I was just following orders!"
All the evidence is conclusive, and further interrogation may even lead to the capture of deeper connections.
But Zhong Shusui just couldn’t figure out how Du Wanwan knew the other party’s plan and was able to use it against them?
