No. 7 Fish House

Yang Mingzhen was looking through a bunch of files, and after a few days of investigation, he found that Qi Chen, the second owner of Qitian Restaurant, had not had much contact with Xue Lingsheng, even though they were under the same roof, they would not exchange more than ten sentences a day.Qi Chen is a talkative person, and the employees of Qi Tian Restaurant have a good impression of him, but they only have two words for Xue Lingsheng: indifference.

In fact, it's not that Xue Lingsheng is more noble, but that he is stupid and not very good at talking, so those people think that Xue Lingsheng became the accountant of Qitian Restaurant because of his connections and puts on airs.

Yang Mingzhen carefully read the notes made by Cui Liang during his investigation outside. It was written that Xue Lingsheng became an accountant because of his internal connections. He drew a horizontal line on this paragraph with a pen.

The office door rang suddenly, and Cui Liang appeared at the door with a lot of files in his arms, and said, "Captain, I have dug out all these strange books about the puppet curse, can you see if it is useful..."

"Okay, let's put it somewhere." Without raising his head, Yang Mingzhen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who did Xue Lingsheng use to get into Qitian Restaurant?"

Cui Liang piled the files on another table, "Of course it's the head of the Qi Tian Restaurant, they all know that Xue Lingsheng has a good relationship with the head of the Qi Tian Restaurant, Qi Tian Restaurant is Qi Tianwan, the head of the Qi family. After Qi Tianwan died, he will hand this over to Young Master Qi."

Yang Mingzhen raised his head and looked at Cui Liang, "I heard that Mr. Qi is a child picked up from outside. The emperor's succession has to be passed on to the eldest son. Why did Qi Tianwan give it to an outsider?"

Cui Liang lowered his voice and said: "Captain, you don't know. Who is Qi Tianwan? How could he give his property to an outsider? Mr. Qi didn't pick it up outside, he was just Qi Tianwan's illegitimate son, Qi Tianwan's family was very poor earlier. The poor boy married Liu Yingxue, the daughter of a wealthy businessman. After the two got married, they had no children. The two focused on their careers. The business is getting bigger and bigger.”

Speaking of gossip, Cui Liang sighed: "The saying that a man will turn bad when he has money is true. After Qi Tianwan became rich, he found an actor outside to raise him. He didn't go home for three days. His wife, Liu Yingxue, knew that she was scolded after returning home. There was no other way, at that time he needed to rely on his wife's family power, so he reluctantly separated from that actor."

"In the next two years, Liu Yingxue was not pregnant, and Qi Tianwan ran out to find the little opera singer. It turned out that the opera singer had a child with them. If Qi Tianwan couldn't see the Liu family's failure, he could do it. Acting like a boss, he boldly took the child home, saying it was a child he picked up outside, and let Liu Yingxue raise it as his own. Liu Yingxue also agreed at the beginning, but who knew that Liu Yingxue would become pregnant half a year later. Children who claim to be picked up from outside are naturally not favored."

After Cui Liang finished talking about this matter, he couldn't help saying with emotion: "The Liu family is not far behind, Qi Tianwan's restaurant is booming, and Liu Yingxue can't control him. They are afraid that all their efforts over the past ten years will be given to an outsider Qi Tianwan." That's why Liu Yingxue and Qi Chen have been thinking about how to get rid of Qi Shi."

Yang Mingzhen interrupted his gossip, "The quarrel between rich and powerful families, according to what you said, it seems that Xue Lingsheng rescued Qi Shi when the mother and son were playing tricks on Qi Shi?"

"Yes." Cui Liang said, "Qi Shi almost died at that time, Xue Lingsheng rescued him by mistake, and then entered Qi Tian Restaurant to serve as his subordinate. It was not until Qi Shi formally took over Qi Tian Restaurant that Qi Chen finally stop..."

"Why did you stop?" Yang Mingzhen asked.

"Probably because he felt that his father had handed over the restaurant to Qi Shi, and he had no hope, so he gave up on his own initiative." Cui Liang scratched his head, "Qi Chen really changed a lot after his father died. He was like a different person when he died."

Yang Mingzhen snorted and sneered, "He's just a tiger with a smile on his face. He doesn't seem to be hurting, but in fact he hurts a lot."

Cui Liang didn't understand, and asked, "Why did the captain say that? I've met Qi Chen and he's pretty nice, he doesn't have any pretensions, but Qi Shi is completely cold."

"Boy, you are still too young." Yang Mingzhen blew on the cigarette ash on the table, just now he looked at the file and smoked two cigarettes, the office was full of smoke, he stretched himself, "Let's go, let's go again Will meet this cold headed Qi."

Cui Liang said submissively, "Okay."

On the day of Qi Chen's death, Yang Mingzhen went to Qi's house to question Qi Shi. At that time, Qi Shi was sick, his face was pale and his breath was weak, he looked like a dying person.According to the Qi family's private doctor's instructions, Yang Mingzhen was very embarrassed and didn't ask Qi more. He only asked a few words and left.

Looking at it now, the head of Qi, who claims to know nothing, should be pretending to be sick.

Because, when Yang Mingzhen left Qishi's room that day, he saw something, and there was a beautiful cup on Qishi's bedside table.

He once asked out of curiosity: "Mr. Qi is quite particular about life, even the cups for drinking water are so pretty."

Qi Shi glanced at the cup on the table, and said calmly: "This is a gift from the cafe. I think it looks good, so I put it here as a decoration."

"Is there no water in that cup?" Yang Mingzhen said meaningfully, "The bedside cup that Qi Chen overturned before he died is the same as yours. Mr. Qi used it for decoration, and Second Young Master Qi used it to drink water. , all pay attention to, all pay attention to.”

Hearing this, Qi Shi's face turned paler than before.He didn't say another word, he just pretended to be weak, leaning on the bed and almost falling asleep.

Knowing that he didn't want to say more, Yang Mingzhen had no choice but to get up and leave, "Mr. Qi, pay attention to rest, the weather is abnormal recently and you will easily get sick."

When he walked out of the room, he still didn't forget to add, "Drink plenty of hot water for good health."

Qi Shi, who was leaning on the bed, showed an embarrassed smile.

They all knew that Qi Chen drank water to death, and before the autopsy came out, everyone present thought the water was poisonous.However, Yang Mingzhen kept mentioning water in front of him again and again, which was obviously looking for him.

At first, Yang Mingzhen thought that the coffee cup was nothing special, so he just asked a few more questions out of curiosity.It wasn't until later that He Fu asked him to go to Lanyue Cafe, and when he saw the cup in front of He Fu, he realized that wasn't the cup in the room of the brothers of the Qi family?

Qi Shi told him that his cup was given by the cafe.

Doesn't all the evidence point to Blue Yue Cafe?The two brothers once appeared at Lanyue Cafe and got exactly the same cups, but Qi Chen was dead, but Qi Shi was still alive.

Could it be that Qi Chen's cup was poisonous, but Qi Shi's was not?

With such questions in mind, Yang Mingzhen drove all the way to the gate of Qi's house.

Before getting out of the car, he asked Cui Liang, who was traveling with him, "Have you found a particularly beautiful cup in Xue Lingsheng's house? The white one looks like a phoenix, with golden patterns painted on it."

Cui Liang thought about it carefully, "It seems that there is indeed a cup that Xue Lingsheng broke under the bed. I also saw the head of that bird. So it is a phoenix?"

Yang Mingzhen said angrily: "Damn it, I'm going to arrest Qi Shi today and ask."

All three of them had exactly the same cup, why didn't he die, could it be that he poisoned both of them?

That shouldn't be the case, Xue Lingsheng is obviously his man.

Yang Mingzhen walked into Qi's house in a hurry, and Qi Shi was about to go out when the two ran into each other in the middle of the compound.

"Good afternoon, Master Qi, where are you going?" Yang Mingzhen asked with a smile.

Qi Shi still had that indifferent look, with a bad tone: "Something happened in the restaurant, I'm going to deal with it. Officer Yang is here at this time, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal." Yang Mingzhen said with a fake smile, "Last time I saw that the cup in your bedroom is very beautiful, I also want to buy the same one, I don't know where Qi Dadang bought it, or Who sent you?"

Qi Shi didn't have much reaction to the word cup this time. He said, "I broke the cup. They said that there are only a few cups. Officer Yang wants it now. I'm afraid it's too late?"

"Is it too late?" Yang Mingzhen said, "Then we have to trouble Master Qi to come with us."

"What do you mean?" Qi Shi's face changed slightly.

Yang Mingzhen said: "It's very simple. Our police station wants to invite you to drink tea. I thought Qi Dadao was a particular person, and you must use a special cup for drinking tea, so I specially wanted to buy you one to take to the police station. , since it's gone now, we have to wrong Master Qi Da to drink from an ordinary cup."

"Are you doubting me?" Qi Shi looked straight at Yang Mingzhen, without any fear in his eyes, "I had an alibi on the day Qi Chen died, and everyone in the restaurant can testify for me."

"I know." Yang Mingzhen changed his previous smile, and his face was three points more serious than before, "You have been busy talking about clients in the restaurant all day, but this does not affect your poisonous killing of Qi Chen."

Qi Shi seemed to have heard a joke, and a smile appeared on that cold face, "Officer Yang said that Qi Chen died of poisoning?"

"I don't know what kind of poison it is. In short, this kind of poison makes people feel thirsty. The more water they drink, the faster they die." Yang Mingzhen did not dare to tell the story of the strange insects killing people in the tea city. He changed his words because he didn't want to cause panic among others, so that he could also use Qi Shi's words. He wanted to know whether Qi Shi knew about the murder of the monster.

"I've never even heard of this kind of poison. Officer Yang actually framed me for using this kind of poison to kill people." Qi Shi said coldly, "I question your police station's ability to handle cases."

"You can question it, but you still have to come with me."

Yang Mingzhen finally brought Qi Shi back to the police station, and this time he seriously interrogated this ruthless boss.

However, the result was still that Qi Shi did not use poison to kill people. He emphasized over and over again that he was not present, and he also emphasized that he had indeed had a feud with Qi Chen, but he really didn't know why Qi Chen died suddenly.

Since Yang Mingzhen had no evidence to point out that the whole case was manipulated by Qi Shi, he had no choice but to leave Qi Shi.

After finishing the trial, Yang Mingzhen went to the No. [-] fish restaurant.

He Fu sat on the sofa as if he had been waiting for him for a long time, and greeted him as soon as he saw him go in: "Police Officer Yang, good evening, have you had dinner yet?"

Yang Mingzhen waved his hand: "I didn't eat it, did you eat it?"

He Fu said: "No, I only know how to cook porridge, but Police Officer Yang must not like the white porridge I cook, because Xing Ting said it was terrible, but right now he is not at home, no one cooks. Or, let's go outside eat?"

"Okay, I'm hungry anyway, last time I said I wanted to treat you to dinner, come on, tell me what you want to eat." Yang Mingzhen was still thinking about the last time he saw He Fu shopping for vegetables at the gate of the police station, He wanted to invite He Fu to dinner that day, but He refused.

"I heard from Xing Ting that there is a street with delicious rattan pepper beef noodles. Does police officer Yang like spicy food?" He Fu said, "I heard that rattan pepper beef noodles are very spicy, but I don't like noodles very much. Officer Yang likes to eat and I can accompany you."

"Then let's go." After Yang Mingzhen finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that people with supernatural powers like He Fu need to eat?So I asked casually, "You don't need to eat, right? Just like a fairy, you don't grow old or die, and you don't need to eat."

He Fu smiled: "Almost."

The two walked out of No. [-] Fish Restaurant and walked towards Ah Shou Noodle Restaurant.

There is only one reason why He Fu wanted to come here. He wanted to see if Xing Ting came back here, because he had followed Xing Ting for the investigator's case before, and he found that Xing Ting liked to eat noodles from this restaurant.Xing Ting seems to have a good relationship with the boss, Brother Ah Shou. If Xing Ting hadn't been taken away, he might come back here.

Ah Shou's noodle shop was still open, and the owner, Ah Shou, was cooking noodles with a smile. Yang Mingzhen saw the bowl of rattan pepper beef noodles almost drooling, because he was a little afraid of spicy food, so his mouth was full of saliva.

He picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. He felt that the taste was not bad. After chewing and eating it slowly, he began to tell He Fu about today's events.

"I brought the head of Qitian Restaurant back to the bureau for half an hour for interrogation." Yang Mingzhen said, "That kid actually refused to plead guilty. If he said that Qichen's death had nothing to do with him, I didn't have much money. I had no choice but to let him go because of the evidence. This kid was going to piss me off. Before he left, he told me that he would help me find that beautiful cup and send it to my police station so I could make tea. This attitude is too Arrogant!"

"What beautiful cup?" He Fu has never been to Xue Qi's home, and he has never seen that cup.

"That cup is a coffee cup. According to Qi Chen, it was given to him by someone from the cafe. We have seen that coffee cup in Xue Qi's room. All three of them have the same cup, and two of them died. There is one left. He didn't kill the person, so who killed it?" Yang Mingzhen sucked his face angrily, his cheeks were flushed, he was almost killed by the rattan pepper beef noodles.

He Fu smiled: "Is it from Lanyue Cafe?"

"That's right, it's the cup you used to drink coffee that day. That's why I suspect that Qi Shi bought three cups and gave two of them to the deceased." Yang Mingzhen said with certainty, "I suspect that he put Then some iron nematode got into the cup and killed Xue Qi and the two of them."

"No." He Fu looked at Yang Mingzhen and said, "The cup was sent by the cafe, so it proves that all three of them have been to the cafe. You are investigating in the wrong direction, and you should not only focus on Qishi. You Remember the file you brought me that day, there was a very important piece of information on it."

Yang Mingzhen raised his head and asked, "What? I've read it more than ten times, what information can I miss?"

"Qi Chen passed his birthday this year, and Qi Shi gave him something." He Fu said, "That thing was as tall as a person, and it was packed in a cardboard box in a mysterious way. Qi Chen even expressed his gratitude on the spot."

Yang Mingzhen said: "That cup is not big, no one is taller."

"One thing must be taller than a person." He Fu said, "The missing puppet bride."
