Chapter 16: Poisoning
PS: The last sentence of the previous chapter was wrong, I will revise it, please forgive me!
After the opening of Downing's Coca-Cola factory, everything went extremely smoothly, the workers worked very hard, and the quality of the staff was also high, the process of Coke was not complicated, and the problem of the market was simpler. For the quartermasters and senior generals of each region, they all sent their hearts in advance, so the road was unimpeded, and the acceptance and collection of payment were extremely smooth.
The U.S. soldiers also welcomed the appearance of Coca-Cola, after all, they were all accustomed to this kind of soft drink with American characteristics, and Downing's price of Coke was not high, only 50 cents a bottle, although it was a little more expensive than the 5 cents a cup during the war, but because the allowances of the U.S. troops stationed in Japan were very high at this time, everyone could easily accept it, and Downing had extremely high requirements for service quality, so the American officers and soldiers had a very good impression of the Japanese branch.
Just when the Coke business was booming, and Tang Ning was smiling from ear to ear every day, a very serious thing suddenly happened. On this day, Tang Ning was training Miyuki Yokoyama in the study, Dong Ye suddenly broke into the door in a hurry, Tang Ning's good mood was suddenly destroyed, and he asked very dissatisfied: "Dong Ye-kun, what makes you anxious like this?" Don't want any of Toda's demeanor? ”
Higashino replied with a panicked expression: "My lord, my lord, it's not good, someone has poisoned our Coke, and there are already two people who are unconscious after drinking, and they can't do it now." ”
Tang Ning was shocked when he heard this, pushed away Miyuki Yokoyama in his arms, strode up to Higashino, and asked with a serious expression, "Higashino, what did you say?" Anyone dares to poison Coke? When did this happen? Who are the two people who got into the accident? Is it serious? The rest of the Coke wasn't shipped, was it? ”
Higashino wiped his sweat and replied: "My lord, don't worry, it was our two employees who were poisoned, because they secretly drank a bottle of Coke for a while, and then they were poisoned, I immediately suspended everyone's work after learning about the incident, no one was allowed to go out, and all the goods were sealed, and now Shimada-kun is taking care of the goods, Akakawa-kun is taking care of all the employees, and I rushed to report to you, my lord, someone must be targeting us in this matter, what should we do now?" ”
Tang Ning groaned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Dongye-kun, you have done a very good job in this matter, don't worry, with me, this matter will not be in chaos, now let's rush to the factory immediately, I want to see, who is so bold that he dares to make trouble in my factory!." ”
After coming out of the house, Tang Ning did not rush to the factory as soon as possible, but first went to the headquarters to briefly report the situation, borrowed a team of military police, and the officer in charge of this matter heard that in Japan under the rule of the US military, someone dared to poison the US military supplies, intending to poison more than 100,000 US troops stationed in Japan, which was simply too frustrating, so he immediately agreed to Tang Ning's application.
In fact, Downing is not sensational, because the nature of this incident is really so bad, at present, Coca-Cola appears as a munitions, only responsible for the military supplies of the U.S. military stationed in Japan, and is not sold to the outside world at all, so almost all the people who can drink Coke are U.S. troops, so this poisoning incident must be aimed at the U.S. military, but the specific cause and scale are not yet known, but this incident is enough to arouse the attention of the U.S. military command.
I have to say that the Higashino Shimada Akakawa recruited by Tangning in advance are very good talents, and the response in the face of this emergency is very accurate and very decisive, when Tangning arrived at the factory with the US military police, all the workers were gathered in the square, and stood according to the departments and workshops, and the security team led by Chikawa was responsible for the vigilance.
Tang Ning first took the doctor to check on the poisoned patient, and was diagnosed with alkaloid poisoning, which should be obtained by extracting alkaloids from the mature seeds of the strychnine plant and then treating them with hydrochloric acid.
Then the inspectors randomly inspected the existing cola, and sure enough, they found that many colas had alkaloid toxin reactions, which can confirm that someone is definitely deliberately poisoning.
At this point, the poisoning incident has been confirmed, Tang Ning came to the front of nearly 500 employees with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "What happened today makes me very disappointed, very disappointed, extremely disappointed, I never thought that among my employees, there would be someone to do such a heartbreaking thing!"
Each of you signed a letter of guarantee when you entered the factory, but that's how you promised me now? Each of you is paid by our respectable Allied soldiers, but some of you actually poison them, which is destroying the harmonious relations between the United States and Japan, and this is smashing everyone's jobs on the scene!
Now I give you a chance, take the initiative to stand up now, I can be light, but if you don't stand up now, then when I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless, I will definitely make you regret being born in this world! Well, start the timer now, five minutes! ”
After five minutes of countdown, no one stood up, and Tang Ning was also prepared for this, so he snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you don't cherish the opportunity you have, so don't blame me for being ruthless." Then he paused and said, "Don't think that I won't be able to catch you without evidence, evidence, and video." To tell you the truth, I'm in a very bad mood right now, I don't have the time or patience to do this kind of game of police catching thieves, anyway, the murderer must be among the five hundred of you, now I allow everyone to actively expose it, I have a heavy reward for those who have made meritorious deeds, and I will take the opportunity to retaliate against the indiscriminate organizers, and I will deal with them as poisoners. I'll give you twelve hours, and if the time is up, and there is still no one to provide useful clues and not be able to find the poisoner, then I'm sorry, all of you here will be convicted as the poisoner, and no one will be able to escape! ”
Tang Ning's words immediately caused the following reaction, and an employee said aggrievedly: "Captain, we are too wronged in this matter, we didn't do it, and we have to bear the charge of poisoning, this, this is not fair!" ”
Tang Ning replied indifferently: "Fair? There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world! Besides, I don't believe that when the poisoner was poisoned, there was no one around who saw it, and no one noticed the abnormal situation, but you didn't dare to say it for fear of offending people, so now I will force you to say it! ”
