"I really didn't poison the guests' diet." Sitting in the interrogation room of the detention center, with handcuffs in his hands, Shanhe shook his head in the face of the two interrogating policemen. A bright headlight shone on her, stabbing her from opening her eyes.

"Madam, now that Mr. Jiang has pointed out that you have put laxatives into their diet due to personal vendettas, and our investigators have detected croton oil in the remaining meat bowl in your restaurant, how do you explain this?" The police asked one by one.

"Croton oil?" Mountains and rivers frowned.

The police said: "Yes, croton oil is a strong laxative, and excessive use can cause death." Putting such drugs can already be characterized as poisoning, and in your case, you can't get away with a sentence of three to ten years in prison. ”

"Three to ten years ......" she muttered repeating the number, obviously not poisoned, but in the end she was framed and sentenced, isn't this an unjust, false and wrongful case? A wave of dissatisfaction rose in her heart, and she clenched her fist and knocked on the table, "Comrade policeman, I didn't poison me!" I will not confess my sins. ”

She became excited and banged on the table, "I opened a restaurant, so I live on this." Isn't it self-defeating when I poison my own food? I have no motive at all, why are you arresting me? Why don't you go after the real poisoners? ”

**

Shanhe's love was too excited, and the interrogation could not continue, and he was thrown back to his cell by the police.

It was already late at night, and she sat on the edge of the bed, tilting her head up, looking out at the night sky through the high windowsill. There is no moon in the sky, the sky is full of stars, and the Milky Way is crossed. Such a bright starry sky is difficult for people living in a metropolis to see.

The mountains and rivers have not been quiet to watch the night sky for a long time, the sky is vast, the stars are half bright and half ambiguous, just like life encounters, gathering duckweed. I never thought that one day I would be imprisoned in such a place, staring at the night sky in a daze.

The suspect, what a distant name, to her, was like a star in the sky, but now it was crowned on her head.

Uncle Ming was also arrested, I don't know which cell he was locked in, has he also been arraigned?

Shanhe took off his shoes and lay on the cold hard bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. My thoughts went round and round, and I thought of Jiangyu again, the man who always had an iceberg face. Before she met Jiang Yu, she really didn't believe that there were people like him in this world. A man can be strong and resolute, but he is cold and hard to the point that he is the best.

She thought that if this matter could be handled properly, there should be no more cooperation between them. It's okay that you don't have to fight with that man anymore. Sometimes there was an urge to tear his face apart, but it was just an impulse. It's not worth wasting your time and energy on a man.

Shanhe fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, it was already dark.

Outside the cell stood a policewoman who opened the cell door with the key and said, "Get up, someone wants to see you." ”

**

When Shanhe came to the visitation cell, he saw a man standing in the center of the room with his back to her.

The man wears a crisp police uniform with broad shoulders and a tall build. When he turned around, Shanhe saw the black police badge he was wearing on his chest, which was awe-inspiring, revealing a bit of the majesty of a law enforcer.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his kind and gentle gaze penetrated through the lenses, looking at her tenderly. He was so handsome that if it weren't for the uniform he was wearing, others would never have imagined that he would be a police officer. He was more like a doctor, or a scholar.

Shanhe looked away and said lightly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Meng Wutong walked towards her, his soft gaze fell on her delicate cheeks, and he whispered, "Tangtang, I'm here to help you." His voice was as warm as water.

"No, you don't." Shanhe bluntly rejected him, took a step to the side, and said in a cold voice: "Also, I have changed my name now, don't call me Tangtang anymore." ”

Meng Wutong's expression was a little helpless, "Tangtang, don't be willful." Your time is precious, and if you don't get out of here, you'll never be able to reopen your business. Last night, the county news reported on you. ”

Shanhe opened his mouth, and his voice was suddenly a little hoarse, and he couldn't make a sound. The news has been reported, which means that the reputation of the hotel has been ruined. Only by solving the case and catching the real culprit can we clear up the grievances before the people in the county forget about this matter. Otherwise, after a long time, even if the real culprit is caught, the people will not pay attention to it. However, she still didn't accept his kindness, and just said indifferently: "You are an anti-smuggling policeman who works in the customs, and you can still manage the police station to solve the case?" ”

Meng Wutong is a team leader of the Heting County Customs Anti-Smuggling Branch, and his job is to crack down on smuggling at ports.

"Can you trust me?" Meng Wutong's tone was extremely humble, and he looked at him with a sad expression, "Tangtang, I just want to help you." ”

Shanhe's nose was a little sour, his eyes were a little astringent, he turned his back, and said in a dumb voice: "Meng Wutong, you know that I hate you, I don't want to see you, I don't want to have anything to do with you." "Yes, she hates this man, because when she sees him, she thinks of the past; When you see him, you will have a lot of hatred in your heart.

Meng Wutong smiled bitterly, his face was a little pale, "I know, but ...... Think about your grandmother, and Ami. If you were all here, what would your aunt do to them? ”

Shanhe shook his shoulder and bit his lower lip tightly.

**

Shanhe returned to that cell, waiting alone and lonely.

Meng Wutong asked her many questions, and then left. She didn't know how he was going to help her, but she knew he had a way. He has always been a very trustworthy person, tolerant and humble, gentle as jade, but it is a pity that she does not love him. But he was always there when she needed help the most.

Two days later, she and Uncle Ming were acquitted, and the speed was indeed fast.

Ah Yong and Ah Mei came to pick them up, and of course Meng Wutong also came. He didn't wear a police uniform, he was dressed in casual clothes, and he looked more and more handsome and elegant. He didn't come forward to speak to her, just stood quietly and looked at her quietly. His eyes were warm, like the warm sun in winter, but they couldn't warm her heart.

They went back to the hotel together, and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw that the owner of Hill Stew Hotel Zhou had been arrested by the police.

Before Boss Zhou got into the car, he glanced at Shanhe unwillingly, but was finally pressed down by the police and stuffed into the police car.

The news reporter of Heting County TV station came to follow up and report again, the camera was pointed at Boss Zhou and the police, and the reporter said next to him: "The suspect who really poisoned has been arrested, and the unfair competition between peers leads to the occurrence of this incident, and how to avoid this kind of incident in the future is indeed worthy of our reflection." ”

Shanhe stood in place, watching Boss Zhou being taken away by the police car, and had a feeling of the rest of his life after the robbery. She couldn't help but think of the famous sentence that often appears in TV dramas - when is the time for retribution.

Boss Zhou is the one who poisoned him, and the root cause is that Shanhe used bamboo rats to disrupt his business last time and exposed his recovery of gutter oil. Tang Xu made a complaint call, and Hill Stew Hotel was fined a large amount, so Boss Zhou wanted to take revenge on Shanhe in this way. The croton oil was in the buckle meat, and those buckle meat had been made by Uncle Ming the night before. Boss Zhou secretly used a tin foil key in the middle of the night to open the back door of the beautiful frying, sneaked into the kitchen and poisoned the buckle meat.

It is not difficult to find Boss Zhou, first of all, he has a motive for committing the crime, and there are his fingerprints on the buckle meat bowl and the back door handle.

Boss Zhou is also a brainless person, he didn't know how to destroy the fingerprints after poisoning and planting, and it was only three days after sending the competitor in, and he went in himself.

The reporter of the TV station saw Shanhe and came over to interview her: "May I ask if you are the proprietress of the beautiful fried restaurant?" ”

"Yes."

"This time you were poisoned and framed by someone else, do you have any ideas? Or is there anything to figure out what we should tell the people of Heting County? The reporter seemed to know Shanhe's mind very well, so he handed her the microphone by chance.

"I'm ......," she paused, then suddenly bowed to the camera, "I'm sorry." ”

Shanhe straightened up and looked at the camera, "I want to say to all the customers who have liked and supported the beautiful fried restaurant, I'm sorry for disappointing you." Her expression was heavy, and her eyes were slightly rosy, "It was our mismanagement that allowed others to take advantage of the opportunity to poison our food, causing physical harm to our guests and property damage. I'm really sorry that the beautiful fried will be in charge of it to the end. ”

With that, she bowed again.

Uncle Ming and the others stood next to her, looking at her with a sad expression.

"The beautiful fried restaurant used to be called the Sugar Candy Restaurant, and I believe many regular customers know it. The hotel has been in operation for more than 10 years. This restaurant was first run by my mother, and now it is in my hands, I didn't expect the reputation of the hotel to be ruined in my hands......" Her emotions were a little out of control, her voice was hoarse, and her voice was difficult, "If I can, I hope that customers who have liked beautiful fried can give me another chance......"

Shanhe couldn't say any more, returned the microphone to the reporter, hurriedly said "thank you" and turned away.

**

After the TV station vehicle left, the streets outside quickly returned to calm, and it seemed that it was no different from before.

The hotel was very quiet, only the sound of the electric fan whirring and spinning, and the cooing of Uncle Ming's hookah.

Ami and Yong were silently busy, and Uncle Ming sat in the corner smoking a shisha sullenly, and no one spoke.

Shanhe quietly wiped the table, his eyes and nose were a little red. I feel very sad, because I don't know if I can save the reputation of Meimei in the past, and I don't know if anyone will be willing to come to eat in the future. Even if the truth has been investigated, the customer is still hurt because of the food in her store, and she always has an unshirkable responsibility.

What if the hotel really can't open? Uncle Ming has been a chef in the restaurant for more than ten years, and Ami and Yong have also been working in the restaurant, and when the restaurant closes, everyone is unemployed.

Meng Wutong did not go. He knew what was going on in her heart, so he walked up to her and was about to open his mouth to comfort her, when another "welcome" sound came from the door.

Shanhe was overjoyed, thinking that a guest had come to the door, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Yu and Tang Xu standing at the door.
