It was the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year when Liu Yingying and Yue Chen returned to Jinhai City. It was also the first day of work after the New Year. The airport was crowded, but Yue Chen once again enjoyed VIP treatment with Liu Yingying and was taken back to the Mid-Levels Villa in a special car.
Liu Yingying opened the door and saw Shitou, Xiaozhi and Wang Yuanhe standing in front of the TV. Zhao Xiujie's voice came from the TV.
"You are back, please sit down and have a rest, and listen to the new cases received by the bureau." Wang Yuanhe waved to the two of them to sit over.
"Teachers Xiaoliu and Yue are back. The bureau received a report today that a customer at Crown KTV's self-operated fast food restaurant suffered from food poisoning and died without rescue." Zhao Xiujie briefly introduced the main content of the case to the two.
"Shouldn't this kind of case be reported to the Food Supervision Bureau? How come it was reported to the Serious Crime Team?" Yue Chen was a little confused.
"Because the person who reported the case was none other than Lu Xipu, the actual controlling shareholder of Crown KTV who had retired to the second line. He reported that the cause of food poisoning deaths of customers at his fast food restaurant was not a problem with his own dishes, but someone deliberately poisoning.
"Zhao Xiujie said in the camera.
"That's what we were talking about just now, Xiujie, you're talking nonsense. When Director Lu came to report the case, was there any evidence?" Wang Yuanhe asked.
"He sent a surveillance video. It is true that a man wearing a peaked cap sneaked into the back kitchen of the hotel. The hotel employees also said they did not recognize this person. However, they could not tell the specific appearance of this person, so there is no more information for the time being.
clues." After Zhao Xiujie finished speaking, she sent the surveillance video to the chat box.
"Did anyone see him poisoning?" Xiaozhi asked.
"No one saw it, but the arsenic that caused food poisoning was detected, and it does seem to have been deliberately poisoned," Zhao Xiujie replied.
"Have the victims been checked?" Liu Yingying asked.
"He is a white-collar worker who works nearby. He works during the day and comes home at night. He has no bad habits and a small social circle. This is also his first time eating at Crown KTV fast food restaurant. He must have been poisoned indiscriminately." Zhao Xiujie judged.
After the video ended, everyone watched the surveillance video together. A man wearing black clothes and a peaked cap sneaked into the back kitchen, and then returned the same way. After leaving the fast food restaurant, as for what he did in the back kitchen,
No way of knowing. The time of the monitoring record shows that it is 11 o'clock at noon on February 15, 2023, which is yesterday, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
"Okay, let me see where he went after leaving the fast food restaurant." Xiaozhi quickly started to call the surveillance of nearby streets based on the surveillance date.
"It's only been a day, and the news is already overwhelming." While Xiaozhi was checking the surveillance, Liu Yingying opened various portals and looked at it.
"Small videos like this really make all kinds of news spread too fast. If it was just food poisoning, Lu Xipu might be able to use his connections to suppress public opinion to a certain extent. Now that a life has been lost, I'm afraid he can't suppress it anymore," Yue Chen said.
He said casually, and then his expression suddenly tightened.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick to your stomach again?" Liu Yingying watched Yue Chen's every move and asked quietly.
"Lu Xipu can find someone to control public opinion. Is there someone who can incite public opinion?" Yue Chen replied in a low voice.
"You mean Lu Xipu's competitors?" Liu Yingying understood what Yue Chen meant.
"During the Lu Ziyan kidnapping case, did Lu Xipu mention that Han Houdong from Dongxue Group might be involved in the kidnapping?" Yue Chen asked.
"I'm a little impressed too. But Han Houdong would actually use such vicious means?" Liu Yingying was a little unbelievable.
"I just said casually, even if it is really related to Han Houdong, I guess he won't be traced." Yue Chen knew that these business giants couldn't do anything, so he didn't tell everyone his point of view.
"I found it. After leaving the fast food restaurant, this peaked cap finally disappeared here." Xiaozhi projected the last surveillance video of the peaked cap on the screen.
"This is... the small park south of Yulong Apartment?" Perhaps it was Yue Chen's sharp eyesight, or perhaps it was Yue Chen's special status as the person in charge of execution, Yue Chen quickly recognized the location in the camera lens.
"Is it related to Yulong Apartment again? How come almost every case in Jinhai City has something to do with Yulong Apartment?" Wang Yuanhe frowned.
"Yulong Apartment is the biggest cancer in Jinhae City, so as long as Yulong Apartment is overturned, many shady industrial chains may be exposed, including the criminal chain of body trade." Liu Yingying deliberately guided Wang Yuanhe to conduct a thorough investigation in her words.
Yulong Apartment.
"Of course I know this, but if you want to move to such a big force, it will definitely be fruitless to attack them all out. But if you find the right entry point, just like doing surgery, and dismantle them step by step, then you can really take action.
It has an effect." Wang Yuanhe didn't know whether he said it to Liu Yingying or to himself. After he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.
But the conversation between Wang Yuanhe and Liu Yingying did give Yue Chen some inspiration: Since there is more than one dark industrial chain shrouded in Yulong Apartment, then a two-pronged approach is needed. Wang Yuanhe and the others are in the dark, and their action team can be in the light, making Yulong Apartment unpreventable.
.
Even Liu Yingying didn't know Yue Chen's inner wishful thinking. A group of people were still discussing the peaked cap.
Xiaozhi said: "But why did this peaked hat go to Yulong Apartment? Or why did Yulong Apartment attack Xipu?"
"Excluding Yulong Apartment's involvement in the catering industry, the most likely possibility is that the catering giants in Jinhae City, such as Dongxue Group, colluded with Yulong Apartment to reach some kind of shady deal." Although Yue Chen did not say anything, Liu
Yingying still told everyone Yue Chen's speculation tactfully.
"That makes sense, but if that's true, then this Yulong Apartment will be even more difficult to deal with." Wang Yuanhe nodded.
"Oh, by the way, when you came back from Hunan, I didn't even have time to ask you if there was any progress." Wang Yuanhe turned around and asked Liu Yingying.
"We went to find Long Lingfei and asked her about the causes and consequences of her accident. Well... all the details are almost consistent with Xun Tong." Liu Yingying pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Xun Tong?" Xiaozhi stiffened.
Therefore, Liu Yingying recounted Long Lingfei's experience briefly but completely.
"I know this milk tea shop. I've done some research. The manager's name is Kuang Qi. He just joined before Xun Tong's accident. He didn't choose the bustling area on the east side of Honglong Road near the business district. Instead, he chose the west side, over there.
More than a hundred meters further west is a dead end road, and it is the only monitoring blind spot in the entire road." It seems that Xiaozhi has done a lot of homework for convenience.
"Have you checked this Kuang Qi?" Wang Yuanhe asked.
"After checking, I found that he is 25 years old, a native of Jinhai City, his parents died young, and apart from his school records, he opened this milk tea shop after graduation. He has no bad records and is very clean." Xiaozhi said helplessly.
"Isn't the team currently investigating a food poisoning case? I'll ask Xiujie to ask if we can cooperate with the Quality Supervision Bureau to conduct a surprise inspection of the milk tea shop's material problems." Wang Yuanhe had an idea.
