Chapter 111 111
When Gu Huaixiu left, Qingxi always felt that something was missing, especially a few days ago, he really missed him whatever he did.
The more I thought about it, Qingxi began to go to restaurants and noodle shops frequently, and used his busyness to suppress Gu Huaixiu's figure.
There were three masters in the restaurant. Master Zhao was the chef, Master Guo, and Master Cao were all new to Qingxi before opening, and each had their own specialties. On this day, one of Master Guo's nephews married his wife and took leave to go to the banquet. Qingxi temporarily took over Master Guo's position and came to the kitchen early.
"Miss, this is the menu for Table 9 on the first floor." Zhou Qi ran over to the hall. Seeing that Master Zhao and Master Cao were busy, he respectfully handed the order he had just received to Qingxi and reminded him: "This table of guests is a stingy man, and it seems that it is not easy to mess with. He said that he had eaten cockroaches in our noodle restaurant two years ago. Today I will check the dishes in the restaurant."
Bald man who eats cockroaches?
Qingxi immediately remembered it. After the noodle shop first reported, many male customers came to see her at the "noodle beauty" in the newspaper. Among them, a bald man wanted to make trouble and was taken away by Gu Huaixiu's people in time.
Qingxi is sure that the bald guest today is that.
However, the visitor was a guest, and Qingxi could not drive people out before the other party made things difficult for him again.
"I understand, please be careful and try not to make trouble." Qingxi said, during the peak lunch period, she did not affect other guests.
Zhou Qi said "ah" sounded.
Qingxi took the order and wrote three dishes on it: Dongpo pork, beggar chicken, and Babao tofu, all of which are famous dishes in Hangzhou.
Qingxi became busy neatly.
The beggar chicken was the first to serve. Zhou got up and delivered a new order. Seeing that the beggar chicken was ready, she took it over. When Dongpo pork was served, it was another one from the hall. Finally, Zhou Qi took the eight-treasure tofu from Table 9. There were too many customers, and Qingxi continued to stir-fry the new dishes, stir-frying. Suddenly, a woman screamed from the hall in front, followed by a commotion.
Qingxi looked out in confusion while flipping vegetables.
A runner ran over with a pale face: "Miss, it's dead!"
When Qingxi heard this, the spatula in his hand fell to the ground with a "splash".
Master Zhao and Master Cao changed their faces one after another and immediately accompanied Qingxi to the front.
The first floor of the restaurant was full of guests. At this time, everyone was looking at a table in the east. When the guests in the private room on the second floor heard the sound, they all ran down curiously or lay on the railings and looked down. Qingxi passed through the crowd and saw a man lying on the back on the ground next to Table No. 9, foaming at his mouth, his eyes widened, and his eyes were dying with his eyes closed.
Qingxi was shocked and couldn't believe why this was happening. However, when she found that all the guests were looking at her, Qingxi suddenly felt chill all over. She looked at the bald man's body again and found a plate of eight-treasure tofu scattered bean curd next to the body...
"This tofu is poisonous!" Someone suddenly called it out.
Qingxi subconsciously shook his head, it was impossible, she made the tofu, how could it be poisonous?
"Go and call the police!"
"Isn't this Mr. Zhu? Go and notify his family quickly. Alas, he was fine just now, why did he die?"
As all kinds of words came into my ears, Qingxi finally came to his senses. After calming down for a moment, she said to the diners who questioned the dishes: "Everyone, Xu Qingtang is a time-honored brand in Xiucheng. It has been passed down for more than 300 years. There has never been a precedent for killing guests. This second-class Zhu may be sick or had eaten unclean food before the restaurant. In short, it has nothing to do with Xu Qingtang. I will send someone to call the police immediately and ask the police station to investigate. Don't worry, Xu Qingtang will definitely give you an explanation afterwards!"
The young girl's face was pale, but her voice was calm and calm. After hearing this, diners nodded, while others remained questioning.
The restaurant was dead, and the diners were all watching the fun, and passers-by outside also squeezed in. Soon, the family of the bald man, Mrs. Zhu, the old lady and daughter-in-law, and Officer Sun from the Nanhu Branch arrived one after another. The Zhu family cried and howled, and insisted that the restaurant was poisoned to death. Especially Mr. Zhu's follower Qiangzi, who directly shook out the grudge between Mr. Zhu and Qingxi, pointed to Qingxi and cried and cursed: "You stinky girl, relying on the support of Mr. Gu San, you dare to do murder!"
Old Mrs. Xu spitted and said, "Which eye did you see that we killed someone? Let me tell you, since we were the orphans and widows came to Hangzhou, we have been bullied a lot. That year, Miss Wu vomited and diarrhea after eating noodles at the noodle restaurant. Her mother splashed two buckets of paint indiscriminately. Finally, it was found that Ms. Wu ate a piece of expired and deteriorated chocolate. Officer Sun, you are responsible for Miss Wu's case, you must remember?"
Officer Sun looked at Qingxi and nodded.
When he nodded, the spectators couldn't help but turn to the Xu family.
Old Mrs. Xu continued to swear Qiangzi: "Look at you two don't look like good people like this. Maybe you offended someone outside. After taking poison, you came to our restaurant to die. Oh, I understand. Are you here to extort money on purpose?"
The old lady was sharp-tongued. After hearing this, the Zhu family suddenly became unsure. Mr. Zhu Er was a famous gangster in the neighborhood. He bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. Maybe he really talked before coming to the restaurant. The Zhu family looked at Qiangzi with verification. Qiangzi often scattered with Mr. Zhu Er, but the two of them happened to be together today, so he could not be sure.
The victims showed their timidity, and public opinion became increasingly biased towards the Xu family.
Old Mrs. Xu handed her granddaughter a look of "Don't be afraid".
Qingxi finally felt less panicked.
In the midst of noisy, Officer Sun asked his subordinates to drive out all the idle people, leaving only everyone in the restaurant before the incident.
The diners stood aside, Qingxi Niang and the restaurant chefs, the guys stood aside, and Qiangzi and Zhu Erye’s family stood aside.
The autopsy result came out soon. Mr. Zhu accidentally ate rat medicine and died of poison. The eight-treasure tofu he ate during his lifetime was filled with rat medicine!
"You compensate my husband!" Zhu Erye's wife cried and asked Qingxi to pay her life.
Qingxi couldn't help but tremble, Lin Wanyin looked at her mother-in-law with help, but facing this result, Old Mrs. Xu was also shocked.
Officer Sun immediately sent his men to search every corner of the restaurant. The diners also searched, but no rat medicine was found. The diners all said that no one had approached Master Zhu Er, so Officer Sun let the diners go. Almost at the same time, the police found a pack of rat medicine in the corner of the kitchen. They also found a small amount of rat medicine powder that was invisible on the ground at the cooking site of Qingxi.
All the evidence points to Qingxi.
Qingxi defended Officer Sun with a white face: "It's not me..."
"Not who you are!" Qiangzi cursed, his good brother died, his eyes turned red, "When the second master teased you, you held a grudge. Now that Master Gu is supporting you, you can poison him with rat medicine! Poisonous woman, you little poisonous woman!"
Old Mrs. Xu wanted to scold him, and Officer Sun shouted violently, making both of them shut up.
"If you have anything to say, go to the police station." Officer Sun said with a calm face.
The police stepped forward and handcuffed Qingxi, the restaurant chefs and the guys.
With his shackles in his arms, Qingxi's eyes were confused and could not understand what was going on. Lin Wanyin was crying and staying by his daughter's side. Old Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red. When her mother walked out, she was ordered by Gu Huaixiu to protect the man in black who was always responsible for protecting Qingxi. Then she said to Qingxi solemnly: "Miss, don't worry, I have sent someone to notify Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu will come back from Shencheng in the afternoon."
Qingxi heard this, but she was still trying to sort out this matter.
Anyone who is familiar with Qingxi doesn't believe that she will kill people.
Officer Sun, who had dealt with Qingxi, did not believe it. Qingxi had a holiday with Mr. Zhu, but the investigation proved that Mr. Zhu had never touched Qingxi with a single finger, and Qingxi did not have the hatred of having to kill him. However, the police paid attention to evidence when handling cases. Other staff in the restaurant had no grudges and Mr. Zhu. Apart from Qingxi, only Zhou Qi was left.
Mr. Zhu's death was destined to be inseparable from Xu Qingtang. Old Mrs. Xu, Lu Duo, Han Rong, and Officer Sun all focused on Zhou Qi's investigation.
Who is Zhou Qi?
Zhou Qi is a native of Hangzhou. His parents died. He was raised by his blind sister. Later, his sister died of illness. Zhou Qi lived alone. Zhou Qi was smart and smart. He carried rice in a rice shop and ran to the restaurant. When Xu Qingtang was recruiting people, Qingxi and Master Zhao interviewed. Zhou Qi had a smile on his face and had a good memory. He successfully stood out. It can be said that Qingxi personally chose him.
But now, Qingxi regrets it.
After being locked up in the cell for a day, Qingxi stopped panic. When she thought about the situation that day, she asked someone to invite Officer Sun and analyzed calmly: "Xu Qingtang's business is very good. Every day, customers come and go, I am in the kitchen, and I can't know who came and who left. Even if I really hate Master Zhu Er, if Zhou Qi did not remind me, I wouldn't know the news."
Officer Sun understood Qingxi's meaning. Assuming that Zhou Qi deliberately framed Qingxi, he said that Zhu Erye was coming, which gave Qingxi the prerequisite for "temporary murder", that is, Qingxi must know that the guest at Table No. 9 was Zhu Erye in order to poison him.
"The problem is that all this is assumptions. I can't find the motivation for Zhou Qi to frame you. The most important thing is, there is no evidence." Officer Sun looked at Qingxi Road, "You suspect him, he insisted that he was innocent. The only evidence at the scene was the mouse medicine powder under your feet."
Qingxi frowned: "He secretly scattered under my feet while he was serving the plate. There were so few that I would never pay attention to it."
Officer Sun nodded: "It's true, but he has no motive for murder. You have it, and all the evidence points to you."
A clear stream is like falling from an ice cave.
The soft and fragile girl, like a desperate flower in the rain, Officer Sun had his own judgment in his heart and said firmly: "I will continue to search for evidence in the court's trial."
Qingxi can only choose to believe it.
But neither she nor Officer Sun expected that the most important suspect, Zhou Qi, left a bloody letter of "injustice" on the prison wall on the night after he was imprisoned, and then hit the wall and committed suicide.
When he died, Officer Sun tried to pry open his mouth and dig out the road that Zhou Qi deliberately framed Qingxi, which was completely broken.
Lu Duo suspected Qiangzi, but ended up dying. Qiangzi insisted that he had nothing to do with Zhu Erye's death and could not provide any clues. Lu Duo had just released Qiangzi, and Han Rong sent someone to "invitation" Qiangzi to the scene. After "reception", Qiangzi still firmly believed that Zhu Erye was poisoned to death by Qingxi.
In Hangzhou, Gu Huaixiu and Qingxi all have competitors, and some people take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and incite the people to indignate the murder of Qingxi.
In just a few days, Qingxi in prison lost weight, while Old Lady Xu, Lin Wanyin and others outside the prison also lost weight.
Lu Duo thought of Liu Yuanyuan and brought a generous gift to ask Liu Yuanyuan for help.
Liu Yuanyuan admires Qingxi very much, but nowadays, the law is emphasized, and Qingxi is very troubled. Even Zhao Shuai is willing to help, with all the evidence and physical evidence, and the newspapers are also widely publicized. Who dares to openly disobey public opinion to release a "murderer"?
"I'm sorry, I really can't help." Liu Yuanyuan refused in a complicated mood.
Lu Duo also wanted to give gifts to the director of the Hangzhou Police Station, but the others confiscated them.
Lu Duo was so angry that he grabbed his head. If his uncle was there, there would definitely be a solution. But he couldn't contact him at this time in the vast sea.
