142 - Really Dead

"The restaurant ate dead people?" Wang Yin was taken aback when he heard that: "What's the situation?"

"Master, there was a table of guests who were having dinner this afternoon, and they suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. Shopkeeper Lu went to check and found that they were all dead." Chunxiang said tremblingly.

Wang Yin walked towards Paowa Lou without saying a word.

When he arrived at the scene, Wang Yin was stunned: he thought that someone had died in suspended animation just like last time, but now he saw that it was not the case.

I saw a few people lying on the ground in the middle of the lobby, their seven orifices bleeding and motionless, and a few people at the same table were talking to the yamen servant next to them about what happened.

"Your Majesty, you are here." The head of the yamen servant saw Wang Yin coming in, and rushed to greet him.

This person had a lot of dealings with Wang Yin, and he was regarded as Wang Yin's "acquaintance" on one hand. He naturally didn't believe that Wang Yin wanted to poison the guests. It seemed that someone was messing around again.

"What's going on?" Wang Yin looked at him and asked.

"The people at this table were eating today, and suddenly a few of them fell to the ground with painful expressions on their faces, and soon died of bleeding from their seven orifices." The yamen servant replied to Wang Yin: "Just now, I just did a preliminary inspection and it was poisoning. and die."

"Have you found out what kind of poison it is?" Wang Yin turned his head and asked Wu Zuo next to him.

"Master Huijun," Wu Zuo saluted, "The dead man was poisoned with a carefully prepared poison, which was colorless and tasteless. People would not be able to detect it when they ate it. If the villain hadn't experienced a similar case before, Nor can the poison be recognized."

"Have you found out which dish is poisonous?" Wang Yin asked after a moment of thought.

Not all the people at the table died. It must be that one or more of the dishes on the facade were poisonous.

"I asked just now. Those who died had eaten this green vegetable tofu dish before." Wu Zuo pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "The rest of them didn't eat it."

"Master Jun, I wonder if there is any remaining tofu..." the yamen servant asked in a low voice.

Originally, according to the procedure, they should go directly to the back kitchen to get the leftover tofu for drug testing, but due to Wang Yin's status, they could only wait for Wang Yin to come over before making a fuss.

"Go to the back kitchen and bring all the leftover tofu." Wang Yin ordered Wang San and the others beside him.

Glancing at the guests talking quietly around him, Wang Yin frowned.

Although everyone knew that Baowalou was not intentionally poisoned, but accidents happened again and again, and it was hard to guarantee that people would have resistance. After all, no one could be sure whether the unlucky one would be themselves.

But Wang Yin was also puzzled: Now that he has just produced potatoes, and his reputation is in full swing, it is purely brain-dead behavior to attack him at this time. I, a novice, understand such a simple political truth, so there is no reason for the Zheng family not to know?
"Master, the tofu is here." Wang San and others came out carrying the tofu, and even the cooks followed: "Master, the tofu from the back kitchen is here."

"Okay, let's start the test." Wang Yin instructed Wu Zuo.

"Master..." At this time, Cuizhu pointed to one of the remaining pieces of tofu and said, "I don't think there is any need to test it. The tofu eaten by this table of guests was sent by Uncle Zhang..."

Seeing Wang Yin nodding, Wu Zuo hastily took off one of them and began to examine it.

"Young Lord, that's right, it's this kind of poison." Wu Zuo looked at the small bottle in his hand and said, "This kind of poison will turn purple when it encounters alkaline water."

Wang Yin took a look and found that the liquid in the bottle had indeed turned purple, and nodded secretly: the ancients were actually very wise, and what they lacked was probably only theoretical knowledge.

Although the lye water has been tested for poison, just to be on the safe side, the yamen servants found a wild dog and fed it a piece of poisonous tofu.

After the wild dog ate the tofu, within a few breaths, blood flowed from its seven orifices and fell to the ground dead.

Wuzuo checked the other remaining tofu one by one with alkaline water, and found that none of them had changed color.

"Which company sent this piece of tofu?" Wang Yin asked Wang San and the others.

"Young master, this piece of tofu was sent by old man Zhang from Chongyefang." Wang Qi, who was in charge of purchasing, quickly replied.

"I will trouble you next time." Wang Yin said to the yamen servants.

"Young Lord, please be polite, this is our duty." The head of the yamen quickly said politely, and then led the rest of the yamen to arrest people under the leadership of Wang Qi.

Old man Zhang was at home happily counting the harvest of these days, when suddenly a large group of yamen servants came in, locked him up without saying a word, and dragged him towards Paowalou.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me, the old man?" Old man Zhang was frightened and asked hastily.

"You'll know when you go." The head of the yamen servant said something, and then ignored him.

Pao Wa Lou

"It's unjust, old man, how could I do such a thing?" Old man Zhang quickly cried out after he figured out why he was arrested.

"Immortal, you are an immortal!" Old man Zhang looked at Wang Yin and begged, "You can pinch and count, do the math, and if you do the math, you will know that I have been wronged."

Wang Yin comforted the old man Zhang, and then said to the chief yamen servant: "It should not be him, there is absolutely no motive for committing the crime."

"Yeah, poor man, old man, I am a tofu seller, how could I do such a harmful thing." Old man Zhang quickly echoed: "It's not good for me at all."

"Did you leave this tofu since you made it and delivered it?" Wang Yin looked at him and asked.

"Yes, I left this morning when I went to Zhuque Street to watch His Majesty sacrifice to heaven." Old man Zhang looked at Wang Yin and said, "But I locked the door when I left."

"The murderer should have poisoned during this time," Wang Yin said to the yamen servant, "The rest is up to you."

"Although it seems that this matter has nothing to do with you, after all, the tofu came from you, and you can't leave until the matter is clear." The head of the yamen servant said something to old man Zhang, and then ordered two yamen servants to escort him back to Beijing Zhaofu is in prison.

"Today everyone was shocked." Wang Yin turned and said to the surrounding customers: "Today, everyone's consumption will be waived, which is our restaurant's compensation for everyone's shock. The restaurant is closed today, everyone go back."

Seeing what Wang Yin said, and now that there was a murder case, the guests turned and left, and the yamen servants also left to investigate, and the whole Paowa Building immediately became deserted.

"Listen up, you guys," Wang Yin ordered to his servants: "In the future, the ingredients that come in will be labeled with where they come from, and they must be tested for poison before use."

"Yes, young master!" Everyone quickly agreed.

"Okay, the restaurant is closed today, you pack up and go back first." Wang Yin gave them an order, then turned and left.

Wang Yin expressed his displeasure when someone made trouble for him again and again.

No matter who did it this time, he must look good when the time comes!
Thinking that Wang Yin turned to an empty alley, he opened the mall and bought a lucky halo.

"System, does this thing have any light and shadow effects when it is used?" To be on the safe side, Wang Yin asked the system first.

"This item does not have visual effects." The system answered truthfully.

"That's good." Wang Yin heaved a sigh of relief.

If you don't figure it out and use it rashly, it's not good to scare people with special effects after a while. . .

Lucky Halo: When using it, imagine the appearance of the target in your mind or silently recite the name of the target to take effect. (It will not take effect if you encounter one with the same name)
Wang Yin imagined his appearance in his mind, and soon felt a coolness on his body.

"It seems to have taken effect." Wang Yin muttered: "I hope this thing works..."

Wang Yin was walking on the street while thinking: "It's a bit unreliable to rely on these yamen servants alone, I have to figure out a way to find out the poisoner..."

But at that time, people should have gone to watch the ceremony, and it was too difficult to find a witness.

"Made, it's so inconvenient in ancient times, there's not even a camera..." Wang Yin complained helplessly, and then he looked happy: "Wait...camera? Who said there is no camera?!"

Chongyefang

"Young Lord, why are you here?" the yamen servant looked at Wang Yin and asked in confusion.

It's my job to wait for others to handle the case, why is he here to join in the fun?
"Master Jun, are you going to figure out who the murderer is..." the head of the yamen thought of something, and asked in a low voice beside Wang Yin.

"I have sealed my mana for the sake of the world of mortals." Wang Yin looked at him and said lightly.

Mard's staff!You have all been deceived by Li Shimin!
"Then you are here?..." the yamen servant wondered.

"I just took a look," Wang Yin patted him on the shoulder: "Just go and do your own thing well."

After dismissing the chief yamen servant, Wang Yin began to search around.

Zheng Family Courtyard
After Zheng Ze got the news, he pondered for a while: It is not appropriate to deal with Wang Yin at this time. Zhang Dagui's behavior now makes him very passive.

"Go and tell Zhang Dagui, keep your mouth shut." Zheng Ze instructed the housekeeper.

"Here." The butler responded and was about to leave.

"Wait," Zheng Ze said again: "Let him shut up forever."

"Here." The butler led the order and went out.
