Once this suspected route is confirmed, an investigation must be conducted.
This investigation cannot be completed in just one or two days.
Just as Lao Huang had planned, the real killer move wasn't to make their problems real.
Just a suspicion is enough to make them regret it.
Police station.
Interrogation room.
At first, Lao Huang and his group were fearless, believing that the police had brought them here simply to cooperate with the investigation.
But when they were relegated to the sidelines, they started to panic.
They're being treated like prisoners.
What are you doing?
"Why were we arrested?"
What did we do wrong?
Hearing their clamor, Yu Kailang was not angry. He calmly said, "I brought you here because of a food poisoning incident at a fast food restaurant."
"It has now been determined that the food poisoning is not related to the fast food restaurant."
"You'd better tell me the truth about this matter."
Hearing that it was because of these things, they weren't flustered, knowing that the police wouldn't find anything.
"I have nothing to explain."
"I have already made this very clear in my previous statement."
"How Lai Erpi got food poisoning has nothing to do with me."
"Do you think we poisoned Lai Erpi?"
"Excuse me, please provide evidence."
Yu Kailang shook his head and said, "We will continue to investigate how Lai Erpi got food poisoning."
"I'm asking you, who ordered you to retaliate against the fast food restaurant?"
"Think it through."
"Your collusion with foreign forces is suspected of endangering national security, which is a very serious issue."
"Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be treated severely."
“Now that you’ve confessed voluntarily, you might only have to serve a few years in prison. But if we find out more about you and then you start talking, it won’t just be a matter of a few years in prison.”
They were all stunned when they heard this.
Endangering national security?
This...this...
We're just a few people who run a small restaurant. What right do we have to endanger national security?
"You're framing me!"
"We don't!"
"Slander! This is slander!"
"What foreign elements? There's absolutely no such thing!"
Only Lao Huang reacted.
No wonder Leader Qi reacted so strongly when he learned about this.
He thought the police would try to find out how Lai Erpi got food poisoning.
result.
They didn't even investigate; they immediately suspected it was a retaliation orchestrated by foreign forces.
The fact that Lai Erpi suddenly suffered food poisoning while eating at a fast food restaurant where problems shouldn't have occurred makes perfect sense.
Lai Erpi's food poisoning is problematic; it can be basically determined that it was caused by deliberate poisoning.
Who would poison Lai Erpi?
Based on the suspicions, it's either them or Lai Ergou himself who committed the crime.
They now vehemently deny that they did it.
So it was all directed and acted by Lai Erpi himself.
So here's the question: Lapi and Meiwen had no grudges against each other, and they didn't even know each other before, so why did he do this?
Lai Erpi is not a competitor and would not maliciously frame someone for business purposes.
Since the target isn't Mei Wen, then it must be Wu An.
Why target Wu An?
It is reasonable to suspect that Lai Erpi colluded with foreign forces to carry out malicious attacks and retaliations.
The police investigation is now focused on whether Lai Erpi staged the whole thing himself, or whether those who ate with him were also involved.
What can Lao Huang and the others do?
All I can say is that I am innocent.
Now that foreign forces are involved, it's no longer a minor issue like poisoning Lai Erpi or malicious competition between restaurants.
Once Lao Huang understood this, he realized that it was all Wu An's scheme.
If the cause of Lai Erpi's food poisoning cannot be confirmed until then, the suspicion of collusion with foreign forces will remain.
One is endangering national security and colluding with foreign forces to act as a spy; the other is poisoning people.
Which is more important?
Anyone can tell at a glance.
It's about forcing them to confess.
At this moment, Lao Huang realized just how significant Qi's alarming attitude was.
Before this, he thought that going to the leader was making a mountain out of a molehill, and he believed that his plan was flawless.
But who knows?
Wu An didn't play by the rules at all; he simply flipped the table.
...
On the other side.
It's late at night.
Leader Qi did not go home; he knew that tonight would not be peaceful either.
As I was smoking, my phone rang on the table.
I took it out and looked at it.
It was his cousin, Old Huang's wife, calling. After a while, he answered the phone.
"Okay, I understand. I'll look into it."
Hang up the phone.
After thinking for a moment, Leader Qi got up and went to Xi Lianghong's office.
The lights were still on inside.
Leader Qi stepped forward and knocked on the door. Only after hearing Xi Lianghong say "Please come in" did he push the door open and go inside.
Xi Lianghong was taken aback when he saw it was him: "Old Qi, you haven't gotten off work yet."
Leader Qi smiled and said, "You haven't left work yet either, and you're still busy with Wu An's arrest."
Xi Lianghong nodded: "Yes."
"My superiors kept asking about it, calling every now and then, so I just stayed in the office and kept an eye on things so that when I got home, if they called me, I wouldn't be clueless."
Leader Qi nodded, then asked knowingly, "What's the situation now?"
Xi Lianghong said, "That person suffered food poisoning from food eaten at a fast food restaurant, but the fast food restaurant has been ruled out as the cause."
"The police station's assessment is that it is very likely targeting Wu An."
Leader Qi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Xi Lianghong got up, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Not long ago, Wu An caught some artificial fish and even brought back Ma Weiqun and others."
"The person's food poisoning was very strange, so we suspect it was retaliation by foreign forces."
As soon as Leader Qi picked up his water glass, he heard these words and his hand trembled in fright.
Water spilled on the table.
Xi Lianghong wiped his face with a tissue and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Leader Qi frowned: "Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"
“I know that they are just ordinary people, how could they possibly collude with any foreign forces?”
Xi Lianghong said, "To be honest, I also found this situation a bit strange at first."
"But thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible."
Leader Qi was extremely frustrated; the situation was more serious than he had imagined.
He was as happy as he was when he saw Wu An being taken away by the police, and now he was just as annoyed.
No wonder Lao Huang was suddenly arrested.
He knew he had to deal with this matter quickly and decisively; once the leader in charge of such matters got involved, it would be beyond his control.
He drank a cup of tea, made up his mind, and said, "Actually, I know a little about this matter."
Xi Lianghong looked up and asked, "Old Qi, I know you must have something to say when you knocked on the door to find me."
"Let's be frank."
“We’ve been working together for several years now, and I’ll never refuse to help if there’s anything I can do.”
Leader Qi said, "One of the people arrested was the contractor of the canteen in our town compound."
"They're kind of relatives of mine."
"As far as I know, the person had food poisoning because of a conflict between them."
