Chapter 52: Windfall
After listening to Zhou Taotao's words, Wei Ran was deeply touched, he himself was like this, when the God of Food Contest was in full swing, he suddenly lost his sense of taste and could only make dishes based on experience, and as a result, he was eliminated.
"Do you know why you suddenly lost your sense of taste?" Wei Ran said as calmly as possible.
"Well, I didn't know why I lost my sense of taste at the time, but now, I figured it out." Zhou Taotao frowned.
This is an afterthought, Wei Ran had to ask from his mouth: "Did someone frame you?" ”
Zhou Taotao took a deep look at Wei Ran and questioned: "Actually, you are not a reporter from the Puppet Food Network, right?" From the time you first came in, I thought you were familiar, and now you ask me about the God of Food Competition, who are you? ”
The matter has come to this point, and I don't want to hide it anymore, Wei Ran smiled bitterly: "I am also a participant in this year's God of Food Competition, and I have reached the final stage. ”
"What, you're also a participant in the God of Food Contest and you've made it to the finals?" Zhou Taotao was surprised, just now he only suspected Wei Ran's identity, and he didn't expect that he was also a contestant.
"That's right! And, like you, I suddenly lost my sense of taste during the race. Wei Ran said with a serious face.
"How so? Did you refuse the guys' request too? Zhou Taotao said in disbelief.
"Those guys?" Wei Ran didn't know why.
Zhou Taotao thought about it, it was all in the past anyway, and it didn't hurt to tell Wei Ran, "You should know that I was the favorite to win the God of Food Contest at that time, right?" ”
Wei Ran nodded, Zhou Taotao's more than 20 years of chef career is not in vain, his years of experience and special understanding of ingredients have made him stand out quickly.
"At the moment when I was at my most energetic, three people came to the door and asked me to quit the game, and I happened to invite a friend who was a police officer to have tea with me, and the police friend revealed his identity, and these people gave up, but before they left, they put down their words, which will make me regret it." Zhou Taotao recalled the past, which happened a month ago, so he remembered it very well.
"If you see the three of them now, will you still recognize them?" Wei Ran asked tentatively, 3 people? Could it be sunspots for them.
"Of course, I know them when they turn to dust." Zhou Taotao gritted his teeth and said.
I know everything when I turn into ashes, do you want to be so exaggerated? Wei Ran thought about it, and took out three pieces of paper from his pocket, on which were black and white photos of prisoners: "Is it these people?" ”
This was specially brought by Wei Ran from the police station before he came, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
Zhou Taotao took the paper, carefully identified it, and then trembled slightly with excitement: "It's them, where are they?" ”
It seems that Zhou Taotao is in a hurry, didn't he see that this is a prisoner's photo? Wei Ran touched his nose and said, "They were arrested and temporarily detained, waiting for the court to hear it." ”
"How did you get caught?" Zhou Taotao wondered.
"Oh, they wanted to win the dumpling contest, and I was also a contestant, so they wanted to scrap my hand, but I set up a trap and caught it." Wei Ran said lightly.
"That's it! I still want to settle accounts with them, but now it's better that you can teach them a lesson. Zhou Taotao said with a little regret.
"If you think it's over, you're very wrong." Wei Ran said with a smile.
"Is there something else going on?" The amount of information is too large, and Zhou Taotao feels that his head is not enough.
Then, Wei Ran told Zhou Taotao about Song Dongchang, and listed all kinds of evidence to prove that he was the instigator behind the scenes.
Song Dongchang's real cooking level, several people who entered the finals are obvious to all, and they all know it, and it is already incredible that he can enter the finals.
"However, he has already won the championship of the God of Food Competition, why would he care about a competition organized by a non-governmental organization?" Although Zhou Taotao believed what Wei Ran said, he still had some doubts.
"This, I suspect that the Dumpling King Hotel has also had something to do with him." Wei Ran expressed his guess and said about someone mentioned in Song Dongchang's interview video.
"That makes sense." Zhou Taotao nodded and said, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
"There is no key evidence, there is still no way to take him, Lao Zhou, do you remember what you ate before the game?" Wei Ran asked solemnly, he had eaten too many things and miscellaneous things at the beginning, so he couldn't remember what he ate and what exactly was poisoned.
"You mean, there's something wrong with the food we eat?" Zhou Taotao was stunned, Wei Ran nodded affirmatively, and then he replied: "I have a habit of entering the cooking state on an empty stomach, that is, I didn't eat anything at all five hours before the competition. ”
"Didn't eat? Haven't you even touched a drop of water? Wei Ran asked helplessly.
"Water? Well, I remember drinking a little purified water, but it was provided by the official game, so there could be no problem. Zhou Taotao waved his hand.
"Officially? It's really impossible to have a problem, unless the official water is diverted, or someone adds something else to it, isn't it? Wei Ran calmly analyzed, the only thing Zhou Taotao ever touched was water, isn't this the best way to poison?
Hearing this, Zhou Taotao couldn't help but be convinced by Wei Ran, since he lost his sense of taste and lost in the game, he would think almost every day, why did he lose his sense of taste, but he never thought that there was a problem with the water he drank, and Wei Ran? He just analyzed the whole incident in an orderly manner from his own words, and he did not let go of any possibility!
"Let's keep in touch for the next two days, and I will go to investigate who the staff in charge of logistics in the original God of Food Contest was, and I will notify you if there is news." Wei Ran said, silently wrote his mobile phone number in his notebook, then tore off the paper and handed it to Zhou Taotao.
"Good!"
Invisibly, Zhou Taotao had an inexplicable sense of trust in Wei Ran, and felt that if the matter was handed over to him, there was no need to worry, he would handle the matter properly, even though he was nearly twenty years older than him.
Saying goodbye to Zhou Taotao, Wei Ran walked out of the café, today's harvest is not small, at least he knows that there is a poor person who has the same experience as himself, and he at least has a game possession, but he is likely to never taste anything again in his life, what a sad thing, which also strengthens Wei Ran's determination to make Song Dongchang's despicable behavior public.
Song Dongchang, I'm getting closer and closer to you, can you feel my anger?
