Chapter 100: It's not safe to eat
After that, the two men and one woman continued to eat, but during the feast, Jeffrey said to young Ace with some unhappiness: "Why are you wearing so much perfume?
Qin Lin looked at him, and from the other party's behavior of placing the tableware and eating, it could be concluded that this middle-aged man named Jeffrey was a person who was very particular about eating and drinking.
At this time, the old waiter walked into the restaurant and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just received a call that the only road to this place has collapsed, and it will be repaired later.
A few didn't know what to say, so they could only accept the facts, but Jeffrey was very upset, threw the cloth on the table, and said to himself: "The food is not good, and the road is blocked, what a bad luck!"
With that, he picked up his phone, claimed to be going to the bathroom, and left his seat and headed for another room in the restaurant.
Ace found that the other party was not in a good mood and wanted to comfort her, but was pulled by Williams: "Leave him alone, he should be going to call!
Ten minutes later, Qin Lin's dishes were also served one after another, and Wells was probably hungry and devoured it.
Qin Lin enjoyed the "spear squid" made by the chef, the taste was very good, and he praised vigorously: "Can you ask the chef to make another one?" I want to bring it to Qiyu to eat. ”
The old waiter still smiled professionally: "Okay! Mr. Qin! I remember there is another one in the freezer!"
Qin Lin said it didn't matter.
But Wells's opinion was the opposite of Qin Lin's, he chewed a piece of squid meat: "The other dishes are good, only this spear squid is not delicious!"
Qin Lin glanced at this guy: "You know a fart...."
After eating for about an hour, the table of two men and one woman also left the restaurant for a while because of answering the phone and other things, but they came back soon, but Jeffrey did not come back for a long time.
Just as Ace proposed to look for it, the screams of the old waiter came from the corridor not far away!
"Murder!" the old waiter ran back to the dining room in a panic, and Ace and Williams were also shocked.
Qin Lin and Wells were naturally surprised, and after wiping their mouths, everyone went to the corridor under the leadership of the old waiter.
There was a man sitting on the ground at the end of the corridor, and when I stepped forward to take a look, I realized!
This is Jeffrey, who went to the toilet and didn't return to the dining room for a long time! His chest was covered in blood, and he was out of breath!
"Call the police!" the cook ran out of the kitchen.
Williams wanted to step forward to check on Jeffrey's condition, but was stopped by Qin Lin: "Don't move him!"
The crowd cast puzzled glances at him.
Wells immediately took out his ID: "I'm a policeman! Mr. Qin Lin is my police adviser, don't destroy the scene! Go to the restaurant and wait for us, and we will record a statement later!"
After checking Jeffrey, it was found that the body was still some warm, which indicated that the time of death was not long, and the cause of death should have been stabbed in the heart with a sharp weapon!
Wells, who has a lot of experience in handling cases, looked at the wound and said, "This wound is so unique, it doesn't look like it's caused by a knife, but it's very sharp..."
Qin Lin nodded, agreed, and said, "According to the time when the corpse died, the murderer must still be in this restaurant!"
"Yes! This guy has been dead for less than twenty minutes, and the road here has collapsed again! But just in case, I'll go see if there's any sign of anyone else entering!
Qin Lin took a pen and paper at the front desk of the restaurant, looked at the distracted crowd and said with a smile: "Everyone, the person is dead, please accept the inquiry in turn..."
In his opinion, the murderer is likely to be among these guys!
........
The first to be questioned were the two who had dined with Jeffrey.
"What is your relationship with the victim, and what is the purpose of your meal together today?" Qin Lin asked Williams first.
Williams wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's a colleague, the purpose of today's dinner is to invite Jeffrey back to our company as CEO...."
Qin Lin looked at Ace who had just finished touching up her makeup, and she said, "That's right, because Jeffrey's father is the founder of the company, and he has passed away, in order to stabilize people's hearts, we want him to go back..."
Not sure why. Williams looked a little frightened, and glanced at Estie.
Qin Lin saw something unusual, so he asked the two of them to leave first.
After questioning the old waiter and the cook, Qin Lin was sure that these two people were indeed not familiar with Jeffrey, and they didn't even know his full name, and they didn't seem to have a motive for murder.
When such an accident happened, everyone in the restaurant had a cloud of gloom on their faces.
Qin Lin found Williams, who was smoking alone outside the door, this guy couldn't light the fire for a long time because he was nervous.
"Use mine..."Qin Lin handed over the lighter.
Williams hurriedly pulled Qin Lin to the corner, and hurriedly said, "Officer, quickly arrest that woman!"
"Women?"
"Yes, it's Ace! Jeffrey must have killed her!"
There were a lot of people just now, and Qin Lin's purpose in finding Williams alone was to ask these hidden secrets.
"Tell me, why?!" Qin Lin said with a smile.
"Actually, this Ace is the illegitimate daughter of our company's former CEO! She hates Jeffrey and her father very much, but this time she actually came with me to persuade her, and I thought it was strange at first! He didn't want Jeffrey to go back to the company! She was the one who wanted to be the CEO the most!" Williams whispered.
Qin Li nodded: "Well, this motive is indeed quite sufficient! What about you? Did you have a holiday with Jeffrey? Also, thirty minutes ago, I remember you left your seat, where did you go?"
Williams' eyes flashed: "When.... Of course not! I just went to the bathroom!"
Qin Lin knew that the other party was lying, so he patted him on the shoulder and walked back to the restaurant.
Ace was drinking red wine alone at the bar, and when she saw Qin Lin coming, she took out another cup.
"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask...."Ace lit a lady's cigarette.
Even a potential suspect would not make a confession against him, which Qin Lin understood very well, so he asked Williams about the situation.
"Heh!hehe.... The company's old employees, and now they are considered members of the high-level, in fact, the call for him to be elected CEO within our company is very high, but unfortunately.... The old man disagreed, and insisted on giving the CEO to his son. ”
Ace took a puff of her cigarette and continued, "As I say." Williams is the most suspicious, and he wants Jeffrey to die, so that he can control the company...."
Qin Lin took a sip of red wine: "Then you, do you want him to die? Also, why do you have to persuade Jeffrey?"
"It seems that Williams guy is talking too much! It doesn't matter, I'm indeed the illegitimate daughter of the old man, but I came this time to ease the relationship, after all, Jeffrey is also my brother, and I will have to rely on him for money in the future, as for the position of CEO, I'm not interested...."
"As for the short time that Jeffrey died, I went to the door to answer a phone call..."Ace seemed to be familiar with the process of police interrogation, and replied in one go.
But her words made Qin Lin suspicious, and she couldn't make an accurate judgment for a while.
It was getting darker and darker, Qin Lin was sitting at the dining table and thinking, at this time, Wells, who was scouting outside, also came back.
"Mr. Qin, there is no trace of anyone around here, I don't think anyone will come near here until that guy is killed!
Qin Lin acquiesced, and then opened the bag of the deceased Jeffrey.
"What is this?" Wells looked at the contents of his bag, puzzled.
Qin Lin smiled and said, "No wonder he doesn't want to go back to the company to work, it turns out that he has a better errand...."
"Mr. Qin, do you know who the murderer is?" Wells asked.
Qin Lin smiled and didn't say anything, but walked in the direction of the kitchen by himself, and Wells naturally followed.
