After leaving Zhou Xiwen's workplace, Gu Chen led everyone to continue the investigation.

So we came to the satisfactory restaurant where Zhou Xiwen often ordered food.

This restaurant is not far from Zhou Xiwen's workplace and the cigarette shop. The store is medium-sized and the owner is a fat man of medium height.

Since it was not lunch time yet, the store was relatively deserted.

The staff is washing vegetables and preparing ingredients in the back kitchen.

When the boss saw several police officers coming to the door, he also looked curious and asked Gu Chen: "Comrade police, are you ordering food or..."

"Are you the boss?"

Before the restaurant owner could finish his words, Gu Chen asked him directly.

The fat man nodded silently: "Yes, I am the owner of this store."

Gu Chen raised his head and looked around. After confirming several surveillance angles, he asked the boss: "Yesterday, a delivery boy had a car accident while delivering food and died on the spot. It was you who re-delivered a takeaway."

Is it right?"

"So this is what happened?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, the fat boss nodded and admitted: "That's what we should do. Not long ago, the TV station also came to interview us."

"After all, the takeaway ordered by the customer was scattered on the road. I also heard another takeaway rider tell me, so I asked the chef to make a new one and send it over."

Speaking of this, the restaurant owner also lamented: "It's a pity that a delivery rider died trying to deliver a takeout order. If the guy had cycled slower, this situation might not have happened."

"Who is the chef here?" Officer Wang walked up from Gu Chen and asked.

"Just... Lao Xie." Glancing in the direction of the kitchen, the fat boss said again: "It's Master Xie. All our meals here are cooked by Master Xie."

Gu Chen took out his cell phone, showed Zhou Xiwen's photo, and asked, "Do you know this woman?"

"I know you." The fat boss just took a quick look and immediately recognized Zhou Xiwen in the screenshot on his phone, and said: "This woman's name is Zhou Xiwen. She often comes to our restaurant to order takeout. She said that the dishes in our restaurant are very suitable for her taste.

"

"Anyway, whenever she goes to work, either at noon or at night, there is always an order from our restaurant."

"Then has she ever had any conflicts with the staff in your store?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The fat boss shook his head and said: "No, not only no, she often introduces business to our store."

Sometimes I bring my colleagues to the restaurant for dinner. Anyway, I am very grateful to her for taking care of my business."

"That means there are no contradictions?" Gu Chen asked confirmingly after recording these things.

The fat boss continued to nod.

So Gu Chen pointed to the surveillance camera and said, "Can you help me retrieve the surveillance camera where you delivered dinner to Zhou Xiwen yesterday?"

"Ah?" The fat boss didn't understand.

So Lu Weiwei confirmed again: "I want you to help retrieve the surveillance video from last night, from when you received Zhou Xiwen's ordering call to after the meal was served. Please note, it is all."

Seeing that the police came this time, obviously with the intention of investigating, the fat boss was a little hesitant and asked Gu Chen: "What...what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"We suspect that you have poisoned Zhou Xiwen's food." Gu Chen said straightforwardly without any nonsense.

This statement frightened the fat boss out of his wits.

The whole person was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"Police...comrade police." The fat boss raised his right hand and said, "My conscience, our restaurant is a serious business and we will never do such an outrageous thing."

"If we poison the food, wouldn't we be destroying our own brand? This must be a misunderstanding."

"We didn't say it was you who poisoned it, but your dishes contained highly toxic substances. This is the result we got through testing."

Officer Wang saw that the fat boss was unclear about the specific situation, so he explained it to him.

From the husky that everyone saw last night that was raised by the owner of the Cigarette Hotel, to the accidental death of the little husky today, and then through the city bureau's technical department for testing and other processes, I made it clear to the fat boss.

At this moment, the fat boss suddenly fell silent.

The entire front desk suddenly became quiet.

Gu Chen continued to ask him: "So, who do you think is most likely to poison Zhou Xiwen's dishes?"

"I don't know." The fat boss looked up at Gu Chen and sighed helplessly: "To be honest, Comrade Police, I really don't know. After all, our restaurant only interacts with this Miss Zhou when ordering food. Normally,

We rarely see each other, how can we become enemies with her?"

"Is it the delivery boy?" Gu Chen suddenly had another idea.

After all, normal people would find it difficult to understand Zhou Xiwen's arrogant attitude last night.

At least in everyone's opinion, Zhou Xiwen's bad temper, which goes her own way, can easily offend others.

The delivery boy is responsible for delivering food. If you encounter such a customer, you may be able to tolerate it if you have a good temper, but if you have a bad temper, you will inevitably have conflicts with her. This makes sense.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen still asked the fat boss to come and monitor.

"You should take out the surveillance during the period after you received Zhou Xiwen's order and when Zhou Xiwen's takeout order was delivered."

"No problem." Feeling that this should be the best way to prove his innocence, the fat boss was quite cooperative and immediately turned on the computer.

Then, with everyone watching, the fat boss selected the time range from last night for everyone to check.

Gu Chen discovered that in the surveillance video, a delivery boy walked into the kitchen from time to time.

There is more than one person coming and going.

Gu Chen frowned and asked the store owner: "Can you let the delivery boy enter the kitchen at will?"

"This..." The store owner hesitated for a moment, and then sighed helplessly: "This actually doesn't matter, because everyone's orders are in a hurry."

"Especially those customers who place orders, all kinds of nudges, these delivery boys, they will nudge me at first."

"But later I found that urging me was useless, so I went to the kitchen to urge the cook instead."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Sometimes, chefs can't win. Some delivery boys who are good at cooking will also cook to help cook. This kind of thing is not

It’s been a day or two.”

"The delivery boy is cooking in the kitchen himself?" Lu Weiwei felt a little incredible after hearing what the fat boss said.

Lu Weiwei usually only saw this kind of situation in the news, but she didn't expect that it actually existed in reality.

The fat boss said calmly: "This is not surprising. After all, many of these delivery riders have had awe-inspiring careers."

"There are a lot of people working in banks, hospitals, large Internet companies, and graduates from prestigious schools."

"Anyway, there are talents from all walks of life. There are really many delivery riders who can cook and cook delicious food."

"That's it." After hearing what the fat boss said, Officer Wang compared the surveillance footage with the delivery boys coming in and out, and immediately took screenshots of several of them.

In everyone's opinion, these delivery boys may actually be poisoned.

After all, these people have all been to the kitchen.

But it is a pity that the boss only installed a camera at the front desk, so it is basically difficult to know what is going on in the kitchen.

But at least in Gu Chen's view, the progress of the investigation is gratifying.

After all, several suspicious persons have been identified.

Gu Chen then asked Officer Wang to take some frontal photos of the delivery boys and casually asked the fat boss.

"Do you know all of these people?"

"We all know each other." The fat boss nodded silently and said truthfully: "They often come to my store to pick up food, and they have become familiar with each other from time to time."

Having said this, the fat boss did not forget to point to the surveillance screen and introduce: "Like this person, he is the rider who died in a car accident last night, and this one, this is the rider who delivered the food for him yesterday."

"There are two others. Although I can't name them, they are very familiar with each other because they meet often."

"Senior Brother Wang." Gu Chen turned to look at Officer Wang and said, "Send the photos of these four people to Senior Brother He and ask him to find out from the takeaway company and retrieve the identity information of these four people.

"

"No problem." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang directly imported these surveillance screenshots into his mobile phone, edited them and sent them to He Junchao.

So Gu Chen said again: "Brother He, please focus on the delivery rider who died in the accident, and monitor the entire delivery process from when he entered the store to when he left the store."

"Okay." Officer Wang nodded silently and continued the operation.

At the scene, everyone began to wait.

The fat owner of the restaurant also looked nervous.

Mainly I learned from Gu Chen that someone had poisoned the food in his restaurant, which was a big deal.

If you don't do it right, your restaurant's sign will be smashed.

So now that the police are investigating, the fat boss can only cooperate fully.

5 minutes later……

He Junchao's call came to Gu Chen's mobile phone.

Gu Chen didn't think much and directly opened the answer button: "Brother He, how about the investigation?"

"Gu Chen, I am sending all the surveillance footage of the deceased after he left the store to the temporary group. Please take a look at it. The focus is on the third video."
