Chentan's Memories

No.17 A thoughtful young man gets rid of his suspicions, but he doesn't want to talk to a wine girl to argue the real culprit

——The person who poisoned was Miss Aci.

When Lin Lang said these words, everyone present was stunned.

Uncle Wang rubbed his painful temples, cleared his throat, "That..."

What was about to be said was interrupted by Chen Ni: "It's her! I thought of—"

I saw Chen Ni slapped his forehead, ran back to Lin Lang quickly, turned around and looked at A Ci and said, "There are three tables that were poisoned. Because I received guests last night, I know very well: the three tables They were the first customers to arrive."

Ah Ci frowned: "What do you mean..."

"The kid who came to see me just now is a kid from a guest's family who was poisoned. When the kid was playing in the yard last night, he flew a bamboo dragonfly to the roof, so I climbed up and took it down for him; today When he was playing outside, he flew the bamboo dragonfly to the tree again, so he came to me to help him..."

Chen Ni's words seemed to be a bit far-fetched, but Lin Lang urged him from one side: "Get to the point."

Chen Ni nodded: "The important point is - after eating the same hot pot meal, the adults were all poisoned, but the children were still able to run and jump around without getting hurt. Because the children did not drink alcohol."

Ah Ci didn't stand still, and took two steps back: "Impossible! I'm so..." At this point in the defense, he suddenly fell silent. After meeting Tang Yushu's eyes, Ah Ci turned his face away again: "I really didn't Poison."

Chen Ni took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Yesterday afternoon, Miss Aci brought five jars of wine to the restaurant, but there were many guests last night. Brother Yushu asked me to bring back eight jars at the end of You hour. And the three poisoned tables happened to be It is the guest who drank the first five altars of wine."

All the speculations are reasonable, and Ah Ci didn't know how to justify for a while.

"A Ci..." Lin Lang frowned tightly: "I thought you were quite cute."

Ah Ci flashed Lin Lang's sharp eyes, and wanted to seek Uncle Wang's help, but when the eyes met, he turned away because of timidity, lowered his eyes, and tightly pursed his lips without saying a word.

After trying hard to digest the situation in front of him, Uncle Wang said with difficulty: "But... Ah Ci has no reason to harm you..."

"I don't know the reason, but Ah Ci, how do you explain this matter?" In Lin Lang's calm tone, Tang Yushu heard a trace of sadness.

Tang Yushu knew that Lin Lang was unwilling to accept the truth.Although Lin Lang and A Ci used to be noisy and bickering when they met each other in the past, Tang Yushu knew that Lin Lang did not hate A Ci; even in a chat, Lin Lang once praised A Ci, "There is no such thing as this in Jinling City." Temper girl".

A Ci is always dressed in men's clothing on weekdays, and his behavior is unrefined and generous, like a lonely ranger.

Tang Yushu didn't want to believe that she would do such a nasty thing; Tang Yushu didn't even want to see her strong and free-spirited in normal times, but at this moment she was questioned and labeled as a villain.

"A Ci, did you seal all these wines yourself?" Tang Yushu tried to help her clear up the suspicion with a calm tone, but how to think about it, in this case, blurting out is like questioning.

"That's right..." Ah Ci lost his previous crisp and sharp air, and his tone became weak because he was at a loss: "But I really didn't poison... Every jar of wine is brewed together, and then packaged stand up."

"This..." Tang Yushu only hated himself for being stupid at the moment, and couldn't think of evidence to clear Ah Ci's suspicion.But he still felt that things were not that simple.

Ah Ci took a deep breath, turned his back to the crowd and said: "I don't know how to explain... I'm going to see my own wine stall, I won't run away, just come to the wine stall if you want to arrest someone Just catch me."

After walking away for a few steps, Ah Ci turned around again, looked at Lin Lang and Tang Yushu with red eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "There is really nothing wrong with my wine... You can ask Juxianlou—Juxian Lou also got the wine from me, and there was no incident of them being poisoned."

"Wait until..." Lin Lang: "Juxianlou? Sounds so familiar..."

—— "Want to try something new? I vomited and had diarrhea after one meal, and a few more meals would kill me!"

——"Sure enough, outsiders are unreliable."

——"It's better to eat the old local restaurants!"

——"Let's try it out—let's go, let's go to Xianlou today!"

"Juxianlou is a restaurant close to Dongshi, and it is the only big restaurant with a store in Chentan." Uncle Wang introduced: "Of course before Dianjiang lips open."

"Yes, because I live near Dongshi, so every day I first deliver wine to Juxian Building, then set up a stall at the God of Wealth Mansion, and deliver wine to Dianjiang Lip, every day." Ah Ci turned around.

Lin Lang asked, "What was different yesterday?"

"...It seems nothing." Ah Ci frowned and thought for a moment: "Wait... After saying this, I suddenly felt that there was something wrong-that is, they moved sixty jars of wine yesterday, but when they settled the money , and another guy returned a few jars, saying 'too much'... I thought, if there is too much, I will store it in the cellar, but when they want to return it, I didn't ask much..."

"Then you came all the way to the Mansion of the God of Wealth, and Chen Ni came back with five jars of wine. Among the five jars... three of them were returned, right?" Lin Lang sorted out the incident clearly.

Ah Ci nodded: "...Yes..."

"Good guy... Give me this trick."
