Chapter 71： poisoning

"Little boss, something happened in the store."

Chen Xing, whose cheeks were blushing originally because he was bumped into by Qiu Jiu, was shocked when he heard Qiu Jiu's words, the blood on his face also faded away, he turned his head suddenly to look at Qiu Jiu, and asked eagerly Said: "What's the situation?"

When Qiu Jiu came in, he felt a chill hang over him, and he couldn't help shivering just now, but when he heard Chen Xing's question, he didn't bother to search that The chill came from there, and he said directly to the anxious Chen Xing: "Qiu Shi said that Xiao Huang died from foaming at the mouth after eating. It is expected that there is a problem with the ingredients in the store."

Chen Xing's face showed a bit of surprise, and then hurriedly said: "Let's go and have a look."

"Hmm."

Although the store is now open, Chen Xing is still not as busy as he thought. Usually, the clerks go to prepare the ingredients first, and he will come over later to give instructions on how to do it. The clerk was very self-conscious, and he was very relieved about it. At this time, he suddenly heard that something happened in the store, and he was also worried, and hurriedly cleaned up and hurried to the restaurant.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's eager back behind him, sighed, and looked at the blood stains on the handkerchief that looked like red plums, smiled softly, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that the rabbit Hurry up, it will really bite."

Seeing Chen Xing and the others, Qiu Wu and the others greeted them in unison, and Qiu Shi, who was playing with the cat corpse and trying to figure out how the cat died, also put it down With the things in his hand, he slowly stood up and said to them, "Little boss, big boss."

Chen Xing nodded at him, then came to the cat corpse, looked at the original live cat lying there, with a calm abdomen, rolled his eyes, stuck his tongue out, and looked a little alive signs are gone.

This cat was originally a stray cat, and was dedicated to this area. Later, I don’t know if the food in their restaurant was too fragrant, or for other reasons. The cat would come to them every few days. Here's a trip to help catch mice.

Seeing this, Chen Xing also felt that it would be good to have a cat with strong fighting ability, which could prevent the proliferation of mice. He also kept a non-staff pet at that time, so he specially made small dried fish for it, and ordered If the people who helped in the store saw the cat coming, they would mix dried small fish with other food for the cat to thank him for helping him catch mice. I just didn't expect that the cat, who was still alive and kicking when we met a few days ago, will look like this when we meet again today.

Chen Xing pursed her lips a little uncomfortable, but now the most urgent task is to figure out the whole story. Thinking of this, he looked at the people next to him and said in a low voice, "How do you know it was poisoned? Why was it poisoned in our place?"

The four people who were asked looked at each other, and then Qiu Shi came out and explained the situation one by one, "I guessed like this, this cat came in It was still alive and kicking at the time, and there was no sign of dying. When we fed it according to your instructions, the little boss, it became what it is now. Thinking of this, this problem should have appeared in our store. "

Chen Xing was shocked and felt that Qiu Shi was right. Although he thought that there should be nothing in their store that could poison cats, but the cat in front of him died, then That means there must be a problem there.

This made Chen Xing a little scared. If a cat eats it and dies, what happens to a human being? Fortunately, they found out in time now, just pity the cat.

Looking at the little guy who didn't breathe, Chen Xing's expression was a little ugly, Gu Lang next to him patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Don't think about it, we are now There are more important things to do, we need to quickly find out what is wrong in the store."

Feeling the powerful temperature of patting herself, Chen Xing nodded, took another look at the cat, and thought that when the matter was over, she buried it well, which was considered a tribute to it .

Chen Xing asked everyone to wrap the cat's body in white cloth first, and then asked the cook to recall what the cat ate when it came.

This time it was Aunt Zhao, a helper who came out to speak. She looked at the few people surrounding her, and then looked at the thing wrapped in white cloth, and she thought with some fear that fortunately she did not look at the cat She was greedy for a bite of the meal, or she would be the one who fell to the ground now.

"Auntie, think about it, what do you do for it?"

Aunt Zhao heard the gentle voice of the little boss, and was pulled back to her thoughts at once, and replied softly, and said directly: "I saw it coming today, according to the little boss According to his orders, I gave it a meal with fish, eggs, carrots, and a little more of the vegetables delivered today, as well as your dried fish, the little boss, and left the rest."

This rich meal made Aunt Zhao feel distressed. If it was before, she felt that she would have to grab a meal with this little beast. It's just that the food was good after coming here, so she endured it, and now she is glad that she endured it.

After listening to Aunt Zhao's words, Chen Xing felt that there was no problem with these, but for the sake of safety, he still asked everyone to check all the ingredients mentioned by Aunt Zhao, and after checking these, then Check everything else you don't use.

Sabre officer.

Chen Xing looked at the four officials, his heart stunned, and he had a bad premonition.

The official saw that someone came out, and one of them stepped forward and said directly: "Who is in charge of you here?"

Listening to this unpleasant conversation, and looking at the menacing appearance of the officials, Chen Xing's bad premonition became stronger and stronger. He endured his heart palpitations and asked politely: " I don't know why several officials came here?"

Seeing that he did not answer the question, the official who asked the question suddenly became angry. Just as he was about to open his mouth to teach Chen Xing a few words, the official behind him pulled him and whispered in his ear a few words.

After the officer changed his face briefly, he looked up at Chen Xing and the two men who were following him, and said directly: "Someone reported that your food has eaten people to death, now People are already waiting in the yamen, we need to take the steward of your store back to investigate."

Chen Xing was startled all of a sudden. He originally thought that Xiao Huang's accident was already serious, but he didn't expect that he would be killed. But he couldn't figure it out, how could his small restaurant eat dead people?

Just when Chen Xing was in a turmoil, Gu Lang, who had been quietly beside him, stood up and said to the officials in front of him, "I am the owner of this shop."

"Then please come with us!" The official glanced at him up and down, seeing him pale and weak, he couldn't help being a little more contemptuous, and his tone was indifferent. Too polite.

"Good."

Chen Xing suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Gu Lang next to him, and wanted to stop his actions, but Gu Lang pressed his lips before he finished speaking. , looked at him and whispered: "It's not suitable for your brother to go to that kind of place, don't worry, wait for me to come back at home."

Chen Xing was stunned for a while. He has been here for so long, except for the occasional diners joking, he is about to forget his identity.

Gu Lang finished talking to Chen Xing, saw that he didn't answer, thought he had listened, and glanced at Qiu Jiu next to him, the two exchanged a look, Qiu Jiu nodded , he looked at the official not far away with confidence, and said lightly: "Master, let's go."

The official sent him to see him at such a time, not forgetting the romance, he couldn't help sneering, "Let's go then!"

Gu Lang nodded slightly, walked to the official post under everyone's attention, and then headed towards the yamen. That slack posture didn't look like he was being interrogated at all, but rather like being invited to drink tea.

Chen Xing looked at the back of Gu Lang leaving, as if he just remembered, he raised his feet and wanted to follow, but he was pulled by Qiu Jiu and the others behind him before he moved half a step.

"Little boss, it's useless for you to go now. They will not let us see the process by bringing the big boss to interrogate now." Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing who was anxious and couldn't help but explain Said, "For today's plan, we can only get rid of the big boss as soon as we find out the situation as soon as possible."

Wang went out together to find out who died after eating the food in our store."

Speaking of this, Chen Xing paused for a while, and seemed to be a little confused, but quickly continued: "If you can find out why they are going to tell us to the yamen, and know their demands , that is the best."

Chen Xing felt that there must be no problem with the ingredients in his store. Now two difficult things have happened one after another in one day. It can only be framed by others, but I don't know who it is. frame them generously.

Chen Xing has heard before that a well-made store will attract malicious competition from others, but he has never encountered one who is well sheltered by his family. sinister. He and Gu Lang have no background, and now they are being targeted, and they still use such extreme methods, the forces behind them must be not small.

Chen Xing had prepared for the worst, if he couldn't find a way to prove their innocence, even if he gave up everything he had now, he couldn't let Gu Lang, who followed him to the yamen, have an accident.

Chen Xing took a deep breath again and looked at the rest of the people: "Aunt Zhao, Xiao Wang, Qiu Jiu, let's check everything in the store together to make sure that the poisonous Find everything."

"Yes!" Several people responded in unison.

Chen Xing asked them to go to the kitchen to check first, and walked to the door by himself, ready to disperse the people watching the fun.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's background, and admired him for calming down so quickly and thinking of countermeasures. Chen Xing's performance was comparable to those who encountered things, only The little brother who can cry is much better.

Before stepping out of the door, Chen Xing took a deep breath, then raised a smiling face to greet the pedestrians who did not leave because of the excitement, "Everyone, there is something temporarily in this restaurant today, we can't We have entertained guests, please forgive me!"
