Xia He seemed to be frightened by this sudden turn of events. He covered his face with excitement and his breathing became more rapid.

Gu Chen said: "Don't be nervous first, speak slowly."

After trying to calm down, Xia He took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Ling took two cups of brewed coffee from the tray handed over by Old Liu, and gave one of them to me."

"But not long after drinking coffee, Xiao Ling suddenly coughed violently, and the coffee she drank sprayed all over the table."

"I asked her what was wrong? She said she didn't feel well, so she drank some water. But later, her painful symptoms worsened, and she seemed to slowly lose consciousness. She fell down with her chair attached.

Even the water glass on the table was broken on the ground."

"I quickly went over to hug her and check the situation, but she couldn't wake up and even her breathing was very weak."

Looking at the dozen male and female colleagues, Xia He said with a sad face: "We people have never seen this kind of situation before. We felt that Xiao Ling was very dangerous, so we quickly called 120."

Listening to Xia He's explanation, Lu Weiwei walked up to the dozen men and women with a curious face, pointed at Lao Liu just now and said: "If I heard correctly, it was you who handed these two cups of coffee to Xiao Ling.

, and then Xiao Ling gave another cup to Xia He. Am I right?'

"No... no, of course the police comrade is not wrong." At this moment, Lao Liu's eyes were wandering and he seemed to be frightened.

Lu Weiwei continued to stare at him and asked: "That is to say, these two cups of coffee passed through your hands before being delivered to Xiao Ling's hands, so Mr. Liu is the most suspicious?"

As soon as he heard Lu Weiwei's words, Old Liu panicked and quickly took two steps back, waved his hands and said, "I didn't do it. This is definitely not what I did."

"I was just kind-hearted. When I saw Xia He pouring a cup of hot water, I wanted to help her make a cup of coffee. But how did I know that Xiao Ling also wanted it?"

"Wait a minute." Upon hearing what Old Liu said, Officer Wang immediately interrupted: "According to what you said, did you just want to make coffee for Xia He at the beginning?"

Seeing Officer Wang's sharp eyes, Old Liu suddenly became even more panicked, and quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, it's not what you think, it's really not."

"I haven't said what it is yet, why are you so nervous?" Officer Wang also snorted coldly, feeling that Old Liu in front of him was almost scared to death.

"Comrade police, you... please stop teasing me." Old Liu quickly wiped away his cold sweat, then calmed down and said, "I understand what you mean, but I don't want to harm Xia He either."

"Comrade police officer, I feel that Old Liu will not harm me." Seeing Officer Wang pointing his suspicion at Old Liu, Xia He quickly explained: "Old Liu is usually very nice to me and always greets me with greetings."

"He always rushes to do a lot of dirty work for me. I often work overtime, and he will help me order midnight snacks."

"In my opinion, Lao Liu is like my brother. How could he harm me? Absolutely not."

After hearing Xia He take the initiative to clarify for himself, Old Liu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "That's right, comrade police, I really didn't mean to harm Xia He."

"I understand." At this time, after Gu Chen had finished taking the basic notes, he turned to ask the tall and thin man who had just greeted him: "What is your name, sir?"

"Oh, my surname is Liu, my name is Yanagawa, and I am the department manager of the company." Yanagawa quickly introduced himself, looking extremely nervous.

"Hello, Manager Liu, these are all coffee drinkers, right?" Gu Chen asked.

Yanagawa looked around, nodded and said: "That's right, these are all those who asked Old Liu to make coffee, and some of them helped make coffee, so we suspect that Xiao Ling's poisoning must be related to them."

"Poisoned? Why are you so sure?"

"Because... because it was the answer given by the 120 ambulance personnel during the first aid. They said it was an obvious symptom of poisoning, so everyone panicked. Fortunately, Xia He quickly asked everyone to protect the scene and called the police.

, so comrade police, no one has touched these utensils and coffee anymore."

"You guys did a good job." After inspecting the items at the scene, Officer Wang said with satisfaction: "We all know that protecting the scene is very rare, but..."

Officer Wang glanced at Old Liu and said with a smile: "But I'm curious about one thing, why is Old Liu so nice to Xia He? Does Old Liu treat everyone like this?"

Officer Wang also asked the question that Gu Chen wanted to ask but didn't ask, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone in the office, whether it was the dozens of men and women gathered together or other employees who were watching the excitement, everyone immediately looked at each other, as if everyone understood this issue.

After coughing twice, Yanagawa lowered his tone and said to Officer Wang: "Comrade police, Old Liu is very old. His wife died in a car accident a few years ago and he has never remarried, but now it is rare to meet someone he likes.

Besides, Xia He is about to get divorced, so..."

"I understand." Yanagawa said this, and Officer Wang immediately understood.

The co-author, Lao Liu, is interested in Xia He and has constant affection for her.

But if that was the case, then it seemed that Old Liu had no intention of harming Xia He, so he would not have poisoned her coffee.

And just now Xia He cleared Lao Liu's name, which seemed to prove this point.

Furthermore, it was Lao Liu who came to Xiao Ling with two cups of coffee. Xiao Ling took the initiative to take one cup and handed the other cup to Xia He.

It seems that no one knows that coffee is poisonous.

Seeing Yanagawa mention the special relationship between himself and Lao Liu, Xia He blushed and quickly lowered his head.

After all, a few days ago, he didn't want to raise A Bao after the divorce. Now that Liu suddenly appeared, Xia He's face was not bright.

Besides being embarrassed, it's still awkward.

"So, is Mr. Liu the only one who brews coffee for everyone?" Gu Chen also asked again after making a group of relationship diagrams for several people in his notebook.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Among the more than a dozen employees involved, another female employee suddenly said: "Lao Liu didn't do it alone, Xiaoya and Xiaofang also helped."

"Who is Xiaoya Xiaofang?" Gu Chen asked again.

At this moment, two female employees, one thin and one fat, standing in the corner, looked at each other nervously, and then slowly raised their hands.

"I...I'm Xiaoya." said the tall and thin female employee.

Another fat female employee also said: "I am Xiaofang."

Gu Chen walked up to the two of them, walked back and forth in front of them twice, and then asked again: "So, pouring and delivering coffee, you two did it together?"

"Yes... that's it." Shou Xiaoya was nervous and said quickly: "We poured the coffee together and delivered it together, but it's hard to tell the difference between the cups. We also picked it from the cupboard in the office."

, the cups were taken at random, and everyone picked them at random."

"Yes, Comrade Police." Fat Xiaofang on the side also said quickly: "This matter really has nothing to do with us at all. We all know that Old Liu likes Xia He."

"So when Lao Liu saw Xia He pouring a cup of hot water, he wanted to help Xia He make coffee."

"But we people usually receive a lot of small favors from Lao Liu, and we often make fun of Lao Liu and Xia He."

"After all, we all know that Xia He has a very bad relationship with her husband, and the two are going through divorce procedures."

"Lao Liu is a real person, and his wife passed away in a car accident a few years ago. She has always lived alone, so we all know that Lao Liu wants to pursue Xia He, so he made a fuss."

"But there are so many people in our office, and it would be very hard and time-consuming for Old Liu to prepare the brew one by one, so Xiaoya and I took the initiative to go over and help."

"But we really didn't expect that Xiao Ling would be suddenly poisoned? She was fine before drinking coffee."

Seeing that Fat Xiaofang was a little emotional, covering her face and crying, Gu Chen quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be nervous, we are investigating and collecting evidence."

"Until there is sufficient evidence, everyone is suspected, so don't feel any psychological burden. Just tell everything you know and cooperate with our police in handling the case."

"Yeah." Fat Xiaofang also nodded quickly, and then explained to Gu Chen: "I know that your police always handle cases impartially, and will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go, but I am not a bad person.

Just good Samaritans.”

"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen also noticed that Fat Xiaofang had a chatty character, and immediately interrupted her reply: "I ask you questions and you just answer them. You don't need to say other irrelevant things, okay.

?"

"Hmm." Fat Xiaofang understood what Gu Chen meant and quickly said "hmm" twice and stopped talking.

Gu Chen then walked back to Shou Xiaoya and asked her: "Which cup does Xiao Ling drink coffee from?"

"The floor...the one on the floor." Shou Xiaoya quickly pointed to an empty seat.

Gu Chen turned around and saw a lot of broken glass on the ground in a cubicle.

Lu Weiwei hurried over, knelt down and took a closer look, and then said to Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, the cup has been broken, and all the coffee has been spilled on the ground."

"Then collect all these things." Gu Chen immediately put on white gloves, then took out a paper towel and attached it to the coffee residue, allowing the coffee to quickly adsorb to the paper.

Then Gu Chen took out the evidence collection bag, put the soaked papers in it, and filled in the number.

Lu Weiwei also carefully put these glass fragments into another evidence collection bag, and then filled in the number.

"Comrade police." At this time, Yanagawa walked up to Gu Chen and asked him: "Do you want to take the cups used by others and the remaining coffee together for testing?"

"Of course." Gu Chen didn't waste any time and directly took out many transparent evidence collection bags from the equipment bag.

He first filled in the number on the evidence bag, then filled in Xia He's information, and then asked her: "Ms. Xia, which cup is yours?"

"This." Xia He pointed to the coffee cup on the table.

Gu Chen carefully held it in his hand, looked at the half cup of coffee in the cup, and immediately put the coffee cup and coffee into the ID bag and numbered them.

At this time, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang also began to number the coffee that everyone had touched based on the cups everyone used, and put them together to take photos and collect evidence.

Seeing that the police were very busy, Yanagawa immediately came over and asked Gu Chen: "Comrade police, you all need to be tested, right?"

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded and said, "Send them all to the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau for testing on the coffee and cups."

"Oh, what about us employees?" Yanagawa asked again.

Gu Chen glanced back at him and said: "Register personal information. In addition, we need to seal this big office immediately. Before the case is over, this is still the first scene."

"So I hope that everything here will not be handled rashly, not even a pen can be taken out for me."

"What?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Yanagawa suddenly said in embarrassment: "But comrade police, our work cannot be delayed."

"Human life is at stake." After Gu Chen finished taking the basic notes, he added, "Are you going to destroy the scene? Obstruct the handling of the case?"

"This..." Yanagawa suddenly froze and quickly waved his hand and explained: "Comrade police, that's not what I meant."
