"Do you suspect that I am the murderer who poisoned you? Do you have any evidence?"
Huo Qiqi walked out of the crowd leisurely, looking at the other people in the venue with a cold gaze. No one dared to look her in the eye and lowered their heads.
"Officer, please arrest Huo Qiqi quickly. I suspect she was the one who poisoned me." Zhou Tian's voice broke the silence in the meeting room.
Hearing this, Huo Qiqi was not angry at all. Instead, she applauded. "Young Master Zhou Tian, you have such a rich imagination. You should know that if you attack me, I will fight back."
When Zhou Tian saw the sneer on Huo Qiqi's lips, he suddenly thought of his father and Zhou Sanshao who had just left Hong Kong. What happened to him today? He had always told himself not to offend Qiqi, but now why did he confront Huo Qiqi directly? It was too late to regret now. Was he going to follow in the footsteps of his father and brother?
Huo Qiqi walked up to Zhou Tian and looked down at him, smirking disdainfully. "Zhou Tian, you're already lying on the ground, why don't you just calm down? Your character is too bad, far worse than your father and third brother. Do I, Huo Qiqi, need such low-level tactics to deal with you? You're truly foolish and unaware."
As she spoke, Huo Qiqi took out the bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which had remained completely untouched, like a magic trick.
The police officer in charge of the inspection saw the cup of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and immediately went over to check it. When everyone at the scene learned that the cup of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall also contained toxins, they were all confused.
When Huo Qiqi took out the cup of poisonous Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she discovered that the chef she had previously suspected had hidden behind someone else without anyone noticing. His self-confession confirmed Huo Qiqi's guess, which was interesting.
When Young Master Zhou learned that Huo Qiqi had also been poisoned, he felt extremely embarrassed. For some reason, Zhou Tian unexpectedly said something extra, "Huo Qiqi, you're so smart. Since you weren't the one who poisoned her, then you should find the real culprit."
Huo Qiqi completely ignored Master Zhou's stupid remarks. It was impossible for him to morally blackmail her.
Young Master Zhou obviously hadn't expected Huo Qiqi to ignore him so completely, showing no mercy. Rage welled up in Young Master Zhou's heart, and he decided to make Huo Qiqi pay for her arrogance. He didn't believe Huo Qiqi would always have such a good life.
"Huo Qiqi, I won't let you look down on me. Don't you like supermarkets? I'll bet you two supermarkets, or three. As long as you find the real murderer, I'll transfer all three supermarkets under my name to you." Zhou Tian was obviously irritated by Huo Qiqi's disregard and spoke without thinking.
"Mr. Zhou, it doesn't matter which supermarket it is. I, Huo Qiqi, will like it." Huo Qiqi curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"Huo Qiqi, what I want to bet with you is not some small supermarket. I have supermarkets in Kowloon, Mong Kok and the New Territories. These three supermarkets are only slightly larger than the two that Zhou Sanshao compensated you with." Zhou Tian followed Huo Qiqi's rhythm completely.
Huo Qiqi remained silent, finding a piece of paper and pen at the venue. "Zhou Tian, I don't believe you. If you really want to make a bet, write down the terms and find someone to be a witness. I, Huo Qiqi, won't take advantage of you. You offered three supermarkets, and I'll offer three supermarkets too."
At this time, Zhou Tian was already overwhelmed by anger. He took the paper and pen from Huo Qiqi's hand and quickly wrote down his promise. He then begged Zou Chuang to be a witness for both parties.
Huo Qiqi took Zhou Tian's letter of commitment, looked at it carefully, found that there was no problem, and put it in her pocket.
Now everyone in the venue became excited and watched the bet between Huo Qiqi and Zhou Tian with great interest.
Everyone at the venue also wanted to see if Huo Qiqi was really so lucky. After all, many people in the Zhou family had left Hong Kong because of Huo Qiqi, and now Young Master Zhou had jumped out again. The Zhou family was really stubborn.
Huo Qiqi didn't have time to care about what everyone was thinking. She stood up and slowly walked in front of the many participating chefs. The eight chefs and their assistants were also extremely nervous. Huo Qiqi looked over the crowd and pointed at a tall and thin chef and said, "You are the murderer who poisoned me."
Although the tall and thin chef was very panicked, he didn't dare show it. He pretended to be calm and said loudly, "Everyone, you have to believe me, I'm not the murderer, she wronged me. The police officer didn't even find any toxins in my food. What right does she have to say I'm the murderer? Everyone, please stand up for me."
Everyone looked at the chef who Huo Qiqi identified as the real murderer, and then looked at Huo Qiqi, not knowing who to believe for a moment.
Huo Qiqi returned to her seat and said to the police on the scene, "Officer, please arrange for someone to check the chef's underwear pockets. Then the truth will be revealed."
Before the police could even get to the tall and thin chef, he picked up the kitchen knife from the chopping board and rushed towards Huo Qiqi. Seeing that Huo Qiqi was about to be seriously injured, Shen Lan did a roundhouse kick and knocked the tall and thin chef to the ground.
The police immediately stepped forward to control the tall and thin chef and found a packet of powder from his underwear pocket. After inspection, the police confirmed that this was the toxin they were looking for.
The police officer shouted at the tall and thin chef, "What else do you have to say? What's your name? Are you under orders from someone?"
Just when the tall and thin chef was about to speak, a large amount of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth. After a convulsion, the tall and thin chef fell in a pool of blood. It turned out that he had also been poisoned.
Huo Qiqi felt utterly depressed. Who was this tall, lanky chef targeting? Why had she, Wu Chuan, and Zhou Tian's bowls been poisoned? No, many people in Hong Kong knew she had the Water of Life. The person behind this must have known that even if she accidentally consumed poisoned Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she could still use the Water of Life to detoxify.
It seems that the person behind the scenes mainly wants to stir up conflict between himself and the Zhou and Wu families. Who is this person?
Not only did he not drink the bowl of poisoned Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but two other judges also did not drink it because no one had poisoned their bowls.
So the biggest suspects now are Zou Chuang and the old man in the Tang suit. Based on her understanding of Zou Chuang, Huo Qiqi feels that the biggest suspect is still the old man in the Tang suit.
In order to better investigate the old man in Tang suit, Huo Qiqi placed a tracking mark on him when he was not paying attention.
Huo Qiqi walked up to Zhou Tian and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Zhou. The real culprit has been found. You lose. Remember to transfer the supermarket you mentioned to me within three days."
Zhou Tian felt dizzy and passed out completely.
