"Someone's dead, someone's dead!"
A burst of screams rang out in the hotel.
The man on the ground was twitching all over, holding his stomach and shouting, "Someone, the food in the hotel is poisonous, my stomach hurts so much..."
Hearing this, the hotel became even more chaotic.
Some people clearly didn't have stomachaches, but when they were mentioned like this, they felt as if they also had stomachaches.
Tong Xuelu was also startled, but she quickly calmed down.
She turned to Fang Jingyuan and said, "Jingyuan, go to the police station and report the case as soon as possible. Ask the police to come over."
Fang Jingyuan was so frightened that her face turned pale. After being pushed by Tong Xuelu, she came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go now!"
Who knew that as soon as she turned around, she was stopped by Liu Dongchang, "You are not allowed to leave. You are a friend of the master. You can't leave before the police arrive!"
Tong Xuelu was so angry that she almost laughed, "Manager Liu, what do you mean by this? You are not going to say that this person's poisoning is related to me, right?"
Liu Dongchang looked at her with a fake smile, "Comrade Tong, I didn't say anything, Besides, how do you know that he was poisoned and not sick? "
Tong Xuelu wanted to take off her shoes and slap him in the face: "Are you crazy or deaf? This comrade just said that he was poisoned. I am just following his wishes!"
Liu Dongchang's face turned red with anger.
Tong Xuelu did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Manager Liu wants to find someone to quarrel with before talking. The most urgent thing is to send him to the hospital. If someone dies, no one in our hotel can escape responsibility!"
Liu Dongchang looked at her hatefully and asked the two guests to go to the Public Security Bureau to report the case and go to the hospital to call an ambulance.
The other guests were kept in the hotel because they had to be witnesses.
Fang Jingyuan took Tong Xuelu's hand and said, "What's going on? How could she be poisoned?"
Tong Xuelu shook her head: "I don't know either. Now we can only wait for the police to come."
Fang Jingyuan glanced at Liu Dongchang and lowered her voice: "Why do I feel that the bald manager seems to have some opinions about you?"
Tong Xuelu: "Your feeling is very correct."
Her intuition told her that today's scene should be directed at her.
Soon the police came over.
There were three police officers, two men and one woman. The female police officer was the female comrade who handled Su Xiuying's domestic violence case last time.
Seeing Tong Xuelu, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, but in this situation, she naturally would not come over to say hello.
The hospital ambulance followed closely behind.
One of the male police officers and the medical staff escorted the patient to the hospital, while the other two stayed behind to take notes.
Because it was not known whether the patient was poisoned or had an illness, the two police officers only did a basic understanding.
They asked about the time of the incident, whether anything happened before the incident, and how the incident was handled. After taking the basic notes, the hotel guests were free to leave.
Although many people wanted to stay and watch the excitement, they had to go back to work and could only leave reluctantly.
Fang Jingyuan went out to make a phone call and came back soon.
Although she didn't say anything, Tong Xulu knew that she stayed for her own sake.
About an hour later, another public security officer came back from the hospital and brought a message:
"The hospital has confirmed that the patient was poisoned by organophosphates, that is, pesticides. Because the amount of poisoning was relatively small, the patient is now fine. The patient said that he had not eaten anything before coming to the hotel, and he vomited after eating the hotel's braised pork."
Pesticide poisoning.
Hearing this answer, Tong Xulu didn't feel strange at all.
Instead, she felt that it was as expected.
Because nothing in the hotel was moved, the braised pork that the patient Cao Dagang had eaten was still on the table.
The public security officer took the braised pork back to the public security bureau for testing, and several people in the hotel were left in the hotel waiting for the results.
Because of this incident, the hotel also stopped operating.
After two or three hours, the test results finally came out. There was indeed pesticide in the braised pork!
In this way, all the relevant personnel of the hotel became suspects.
The male police immediately interrogated the people in the hotel in more detail.
"Does anyone among you know Comrade Cao Dagang, or have conflicts with him?"
Several people in the hotel shook their heads, saying that they did not know Cao Dagang, let alone any conflicts.
When Liu Dongchang answered this, Tong Xuelu's eyes fell on his face. The latter looked calm, as if it really had nothing to do with him.
Male police officer: "Who bought the ingredients?"
Liu Dongchang: "It was me. I am the manager of the hotel. I bought all the ingredients by myself. But I swear to God that I have never done anything illegal. Moreover, the ingredients must be cleaned after purchase. Even if there are pesticides on them, the pesticides will be washed away."
Tong Xuelu almost laughed.
Although she was not mentioned in this sentence, anyone with a brain would understand that there were only three people who could touch the ingredients, Liu Dongchang, Guo Weiping and her.
Guo Weiping was only responsible for cleaning. By the same token, after cleaning, the pesticides would no longer exist.
In other words, the only person who would add pesticides to the food was her.
"Who washes the vegetables and who cooks the food?"
Guo Weiping's face turned pale as a piece of paper: "I was responsible for washing the vegetables, but I didn't poison."
He was so scared that tears streamed down his face.
Tong Xuelu said calmly: "I am temporarily taking over the position of the hotel's master chef. I made the braised pork in red sauce, but I have no grudge against that person. I didn't need to poison him."
"What's more, there is a very strange thing. There are many people eating the braised pork in red sauce. How come others didn't get poisoned, but only Comrade Cao got poisoned?"
Liu Dongchang wanted to push the crime onto her, but she didn't let them do what they wanted!
She just wanted to stir up the pot of soup. If she can't get away with it, no one else can get away with it!
The male police officer was stunned for a moment, and said with admiration: "What you said makes a lot of sense. This is indeed a suspicious point."
Liu Dongchang frowned slightly and coughed lightly.
The next moment, Tan Xiaoyan jumped out: "Comrade police officer, I have something to report!"
"Speak!"
Tan Xiaoyan glanced at Tong Xuelu and said: "Tong Xuelu has had a conflict with Manager Liu in the past few days. She once privately destroyed the relationship between Manager Liu and his girlfriend, which led to their breakup. I suspect that she hated Manager Liu because of her love for him, so she deliberately poisoned the guests' meals, hoping to frame Manager Liu and prevent him from being a manager!"
Tsk, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, Tong Xuelu would have almost applauded Tan Xiaoyan!
As soon as these words came out, she immediately gave her a motive for committing the crime.
But Tan Xiaoyan was usually so stupid that she didn't think she could say such clear and coherent words.
The male police officer looked at Tong Xuelu: "What do you have to say about what this female comrade said?"
Tong Xuelu: "I did advise Comrade Meng to think carefully about her relationship with Manager Liu, because Manager Liu is divorced and has two children. The eldest child is only nine years younger than Comrade Meng. Given Comrade Meng's conditions, there is no need for her to become someone else's stepmother."
"But I didn't advise her to break up. Later, Comrade Meng thought it through and chose to break up on her own initiative. Comrade Meng's mother, Aunt Lin, can testify to this. More importantly, I want to report Tan Xiaoyan for defaming my reputation. I don't have any romantic feelings for Manager Liu!"
Aunt Lin nodded: "My daughter really wanted to break up on her own. It has nothing to do with other people!"
Hearing this, Tong Xuelu looked at Aunt Lin gratefully.
Liu Dongchang said: "Comrade Public Security, Comrade Tong keeps saying that she didn't persuade me, but my girlfriend did break up with me because of her words. We were going to get married at the end of the year, and I went to meet her parents a few days ago!"
"Before that, Comrade Tong confessed to me, but I rejected her because I thought she looked too seductive and didn't look like a good wife. One should marry a virtuous woman. I need a virtuous wife and a good mother to take care of my two children, so I rejected her!"
Doesn't look like a good wife?
Tong Xuelu almost vomited in disgust: "Comrade Public Security, this is a complete slander! I am young and beautiful, and I already have a partner!"
"My partner is a researcher at the scientific research base. His good friend is Pu Jianyi, the captain of your police station's investigation team. My partner's grandfather was once the commander of the Air Force. I have such an excellent partner, why would I fall in love with a divorced man?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!
Even Fang Jingyuan was shocked. She originally wanted to ask you when you have a partner, but fortunately she held back the words.
Tan Xiaoyan was the first to jump out: "You are talking nonsense. When did you have a partner? You clearly said before that you didn't have a partner!"
Tong Xuelu: "I didn't have one before. Didn't I take a leave last week? I just went to the movies with my partner that day. Besides, can I lie about this? If I dare to lie, Captain Pu will arrest me!"
Several police officers heard that this was indeed the truth.
Seeing this, Liu Dongchang and Tan Xiaoyan were jealous and worried.
Since they each insisted on their own story and were all suspected, they were all taken back to the Public Security Bureau for temporary detention.
Seeing that she was about to be taken away, Fang Jingyuan could not help but get anxious: "Don't be afraid, I'll go back and let my parents find a solution!"
Tong Xuelu shook her head: "Don't bother your parents about this matter, but I do have something to bother you."
"What is it, tell me!"
"Please help me tell Grandma Shen Wanrong who lives next door to my house that I may not be able to go back tonight, and ask her to help take care of my brothers and sisters!"
Fang Jingyuan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll do it now!"
Tong Xuelu looked at her gratefully and said: "Thank you!"
People say that true friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Fortunately, there is still a group of trustworthy and lovely people around her.
**
After Tong Xuelu was taken away, Fang Jingyuan hurriedly rode her bicycle to Wei's house.
When Shen Wanrong learned that Tong Xuelu was detained by the Public Security Bureau, her heart was pounding: "Thank you, girl. Don't worry, I will take good care of the children!" After
Fang Jingyuan left, Shen Wanrong hurried in to tell her husband Wei Guozhi about this.
Wei Guozhi thought about it and went out.
Tong Xuelu and several others came to the Public Security Bureau and were locked up in a cell together, with men and women separated.
But the two cells were facing each other, so Tong Xuelu could still see the hateful face of Liu Dongchang.
After the group was locked up in the cell, no one came for a long time.
Tan Xiaoyan looked at Tong Xuelu with her swollen eyes and sneered: "Didn't you say that your target's good friend is the captain of the reconnaissance team? Why doesn't he come to visit you?"
Tong Xuelu glanced at her coldly, closed her eyes and ignored her.
Seeing this, Tan Xiaoyan became even more boastful: "What a boaster! She said that my boyfriend is a scientific researcher, my boyfriend's friend is a captain, and my boyfriend's grandfather is a commander. Hahaha, it really made my whole family laugh. Even the second-rate guys in my hometown dare not brag like this!"
Liu Dongchang had seen Tong Xuelu speak so confidently before, and he was jealous and worried.
Now that she didn't dare to refute a word, he also believed that she was bragging, and he felt relieved.
He said, how could a woman with Tong Xuelu's appearance and family be a boyfriend? ! She
really knows how to flatter herself!
At this moment, there was a sound
of footsteps outside the cell. The cell door was pushed open with a "creak".
A man with broad shoulders and long legs walked in hurriedly, followed by two public security officers.
Everyone looked over at once.
Especially Tan Xiaoyan, after seeing the other person's face, pink bubbles immediately appeared in her eyes.
The man came to the prison door and stopped.
A public security officer immediately ran up: "Comrade Wen, please wait a moment, I will open the door!"
Comrade Wen?
Tong Xuelu, who had closed her eyes, heard this and blinked her eyelashes and opened her eyes.
The door was opened at this time, and Wen Rugui walked in with long legs.
Tong Xuelu met his inky black eyes, and a flash of shock flashed across her face, and her red lips curled up: "You're here."
Wen Rugui looked at her: "Yes, I'm here."
Everyone: "..."
A male police officer said: "Comrade Tong, you can leave now."
Tan Xiaoyan stared and shouted: "Why can she leave? If she can leave, can we leave too?"
When the others heard this, several pairs of eyes looked at the male police officer.
The male police officer laughed: "If you can also find a second-level scientific researcher and a team leader to guarantee you, and pay a deposit of 200 yuan, you can leave at any time!"
Tan Xiaoyan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Tong Xuelu stood up and followed Wen Rugui out of the cell.
Tan Xiaoyan watched Tong Xuelu walk out of the cell with angry eyes, "Tong Xuelu, come back to me!"
Liu Changdong in the cell opposite was like being struck by lightning, staring blankly at Tong Xuelu's back.
It turned out that she really had a target with such a powerful background, so was it wrong for him to deal with her?
Thinking of this, he was like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting.
**
After leaving the cell, he saw Pu Jianyi waiting at the door.
As soon as he saw her, he grinned and said, "Comrade Tong, you really shock me every time!"
Seeing that he had just bailed her out, Tong Xuelu decided not to confront him: "Thank you this time. By the way, could you please help look after Aunt Lin and Guo Weiping inside?"
The two of them were also implicated innocently, but it was unlikely that they could be bailed out together. However, it should not be a problem to ask Pu Jianyi to help look after them.
Pu Jianyi also thought it was not a problem and nodded in agreement.
When they came out of the Public Security Bureau, they saw a military green jeep parked there.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "Your car?"
Wen Rugui shook his head: "No, I borrowed it from the base."
As he said that, he walked two steps faster and helped her open the door on the passenger seat.
After Tong Xuelu got in, she realized that this domestically produced Jeep 212 did not have seat belts. She felt a little bit sorry, otherwise she could have asked Wen Rugui to help her fasten them.
Wen Rugui got in from the other side of the car and closed the door. Then she heard Tong Xuelu say, "Thank you, Rugui."
It was like a spring breeze blowing across her face, like feathers brushing across her heart.
Hearing the word "Rugui", Wen Rugui was stunned, and then his ears slowly turned red.
Tong Xuelu noticed his red ears and couldn't help laughing.
This man is too innocent. His ears turn red just by calling his name.
If she calls him cute or baby, how red will his face be?
Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it.
Wen Rugui came back to his senses, coughed and said, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Since she is the prospective object, if something happens to her, can he not come?
Tong Xuelu's heart seemed to flow with a warm current: "Will your work be affected by taking leave like this?"
Wen Rugui shook his head: "No, I know my limits."
As he said that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
Tong Xuelu didn't let him take her to the supply and marketing cooperative and the vegetable market to buy things first, and then go back.
When she got home, she hurried to tell the Wei family first.
Shen Wanrong was shocked to see her come back.
When she knew that she was bailed out by her friends, her eyes fell on the jeep in front of the next door.
"I'm glad you're back. Zhuzhu's grandfather went out to find a solution and hasn't come back yet."
Tong Xuelu thanked sincerely, "Thank you, Grandma Shen! Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I really can't rest assured!"
Shen Wanrong waved her hand, "Why are you being polite? Mianmian and Xiaojiu are sleeping inside, why don't they continue to sleep here?"
Tong Xuelu nodded, "Okay, I have some things to discuss when I go back, I will pick them up later!"
Then she said goodbye to Shen Wanrong and went back to her home.
When Shen Wanrong closed the door, she deliberately looked at Wen Rugui again.
Tong Xuelu went in and cooked a bowl of noodles for herself and Wen Rugui respectively.
Before they finished eating, Pu Jianyi came over.
Pu Jianyi was not hungry at first, but he suddenly felt hungry after smelling the food.
So Tong Xuelu cooked him another bowl.
After he finished eating, the three of them talked about the case.
Tong Xuelu: "I actually have a suspect in this matter, that is the hotel manager Liu Dongchang. He confessed to me before..."
Before she finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound.
Tong Xuelu turned her head and saw that the chopsticks in Wen Rugui's hand were broken by him.
Tong Xuelu: "..."
Park Jianyi: "..."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, Rugui, don't be so excited!" Pu Jianyi came back to his senses and laughed like a dog.
Wen Rugui blushed and said, "I accidentally used a little too much force."
Tong Xuelu almost laughed out loud.
Where is the little too much force?
He broke the chopsticks!
She suppressed her smile and continued, "I rejected him mercilessly at that time. He must have been angry and humiliated, so he went back to date a waiter in the hotel. I have another suspicion..."
She then said that she suspected that Liu Dongchang deliberately set up Meng Qingqing.
"It was too coincidental. I think that dog had a lot to do with him. Later, I advised the girl named Meng Qingqing to think it over. After thinking it over, Meng Qingqing hanged herself as a resistance, and then the two of them broke up."
"Liu Dongchang may hate me even more because of this, so he is trying to deal with me. I still think that the situation today was set up by him!"
Pu Jianyi looked at her with admiration: "I really can't tell, your analytical ability is better than those of my colleagues, are you interested in working in our bureau?"
Before Tong Xuelu answered, Wen Rugui interrupted: "Do you think that patient and Liu Dongchang colluded?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Yes, so the key to solving the case lies in Cao Dagang!"
There is no surveillance these days, otherwise it wouldn't be so complicated.
If Cao Dagang insisted that he was poisoned in the hotel, then even if there is no evidence to prove that she was the one who poisoned, she would be implicated and she would definitely lose this job.
Wen Rugui looked at her with dark eyes: "Leave the next things to me, I will let him explain it personally!"
Tong Xuelu met his burning gaze, and her heart moved: "I believe you." Pu
Jianyi, who was still eating noodles on the side: "..."
Hey, he is still here, can you be respectful?
**
Fang Jingyuan did not go back to work. When she returned home, she originally wanted to ask her parents for help.
But thinking back, her parents seemed to have a lot of troubles at work recently, so she turned to her eldest brother Fang Wenyuan for help.
Fang Wenyuan was stunned when he heard that Tong Xuelu was detained by the Public Security Bureau, and he subconsciously agreed.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
If he rushed to find connections when he heard that Tong Xuelu was in trouble, would everyone think that he cared about Tong Xuelu?
If Tong Xuelu knew about it later, would she be very proud?
Thinking of this, Fang Wenyuan changed the "OK" to: "Wait two more days. If there is no progress in two days, I will ask my friends to help me make some connections."
Fang Jingyuan didn't expect that he would think about it for such a long time and actually said such a sentence!
She stood up with a "swoosh", pointed at Fang Wenyuan and cursed: "With your behavior, no wonder Tong Xulu treats you like dog shit, you deserve to never find a wife in your life!"
Fang Wenyuan: "..."
Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi had dinner at Tong Xulu's place before leaving.
They did not take any action for the next few days, and the Public Security Bureau did not seem to have any progress.
But Tan Xiaoyan and Liu Dongchang could not bear it anymore!
The cell was cold and damp, and they did not eat enough and sleep well every day. It was simply too painful!
Besides, it is already autumn now. At night, the cell is as cold as an ice cellar. The quilts covering the body are useless. Every night, the teeth are chattering from the cold.
Compared with the two of them, Auntie Lin and Guo Weiping are in a much better situation. They
eat better than the two of them, and the quilts they are given are newer and thicker than theirs!
It's so unfair!
Tan Xiaoyan wanted to snatch Auntie Lin's quilt at first, but she didn't dare to do so after being scolded by the public security personnel.
Tan Xiaoyan became more and more irritable, and Liu Dongchang became more and more silent, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have used this method!
It's really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken!
Two days later, Cao Digang was finally reluctant to be discharged. In minutes, he was put on a sack
