Chapter 164: Poison

Fortunately, the doctors of the medical team did not all go with the team leader to escort Director Niu, and with the help of Fang Yu, they quickly treated the guests who had symptoms.

Immediately afterwards, some of the lucky tourists had similar symptoms, but they were not too serious, and they were basically controlled by warm salt water and drinking large amounts of glucose water.

So many people are showing symptoms of poisoning, and there are also state cadres and foreign businessmen inside, even if there are no fatalities yet, but the nature of the matter is serious enough.

Although the temperature of the air conditioner in the exhibition hall was very low, Director Du was still wiping his sweat when discussing countermeasures with Minister Xu.

Fang Yu checked the last lucky tourist who was in a situation and was relieved to make sure that his body was basically fine. Speaking of which, these people were actually implicated by him, and they were unjustifiably affected.

Wei Zhen shouted in Fang Yu's mind, "Don't sigh here, now it's important to explain the truth and let the culprit be punished as he deserves." ”

Fang Yu listened to Wei Zhen's words, his eyes sharpened, and he remembered that he hadn't seen Ma Hao since he found out that someone was poisoned.

"What about Ma Hao, who saw where Ma Hao went?" Fang Yu shouted loudly.

The people in the food hall all looked at Fang Yu in astonishment, wondering why he was looking for Ma Hao at this time, was it for the result of the cooking showdown?

Director Du looked at Fang Yu with some unhappiness, if it weren't for the fact that Fang Yu had just taken the initiative to stand up and save Director Niu's life, he would have been angry and reprimanded Fang Yu now. When is it now, who cares about the outcome of a culinary showdown if such a big event happens.

Fang Yu saw Director Du's thoughts, and he strode down from the trapezoidal stand of the lucky tourist, and said as he walked:

"Everyone should have acute food poisoning, I just looked at it, and the people who showed symptoms were all eating cold pot fish."

Minister Xu's eyes froze when he heard this, and he quickly glanced at the guest seat. Sure enough, there was more than one black porcelain bowl in front of each guest who showed symptoms of poisoning, and all of them were empty, and even the fish soup was drunk.

Director Du obviously saw it too, but he quickly questioned again:

"There are also many people who have eaten cold pot fish and have not developed symptoms."

"That's because they ate my Qingfeng rice, and anyone who ate cold pot fish and Qingfeng rice at the same time didn't have symptoms of poisoning." Fang Yu replied immediately.

"But Director Niu didn't also eat your Qingfeng rice, how could his symptoms be so serious?" Minister Xu also voiced his doubts.

Fang Yu did not answer Minister Xu directly, and turned his head to ask Director Du:

"Did Commissioner Niu drink 'Strong Loquat Dew' when he was eating cold pot fish?"

Director Du replied affirmatively: "Yes, the cold pot fish is spicy, and the old cow was stimulated to cough all the time after eating, and I saw him take out the bottle of medicine and drink two big sips." ”

Fang Yu punched the palm of his hand, "That's right!" ”

Minister Xu and Director Du were a little inexplicable by Fang Yu's actions.

Minister Xu looked at Director Du, who understood, cleared his throat, and asked:

"Chef Fang, can you make it clear, we are all confused by you."

Fang Yu looked serious and said to Director Du seriously:

"Just now, I saw that everyone's symptoms were basically pale, difficulty in exhaling, and some severe ones were vomiting, convulsions, and miosis. These are all symptoms of acute poisoning. However, there is more than one toxin with similar symptoms, and I am not sure.

After looking at the ingredients of the strong loquat dew of the head of the cow, I had a basic guess. After turning around just now, I found that the people who had obvious symptoms either ate cold pot fish and did not eat Qingfeng rice, or people who ate more than one cold pot fish and even drank up the soup, which basically confirmed my judgment. ”

"Oh, Comrade Fang Yu, what is your judgment, say it and listen to it." Minister Xu stopped when he saw Fang Yu and said the key point, and couldn't help but speak directly.

Fang Yu pointed to the cauldron that Ma Hao placed in the ring, and said loudly:

"There must be poppy shells in the cold pot fish, and everyone has been poisoned by the alkaloids contained in the poppy shells."

"Where did Ma Hao go, who knows where Ma Hao is?" Director Du shouted at the people in Shuxiang Building.

"Chef Ma, Chef Ma went to the bathroom." A staff member of Shuxiang Building replied timidly.

Director Du said with an angry face: "Everyone is busy saving people, and when he runs away, call him to me immediately." ”

Fang Yu sneered and said, "I'm afraid I may not be able to find him now." ”

Judge Lai and Du Feibai are good friends, he was a little unhappy with Fang Yu's words, and couldn't help but say: "What you said is just speculation, and there is no definite evidence." ”

Fang Yu turned to face the three referees: "Evidence, this is easy to do." Three seniors, I don't know if you can check the ingredients and soup of Mahao with me. ”

The three referees, Zhong, Lai, and Liao, listened to Fang Yu's words and immediately strode to Ma Hao's cauldron.

Referee Zhong took the lead in scooping a spoonful of the base soup of the cold pot fish and tasted it, frowned and said:

"The spicy taste is too strong, and there are pickled peppers and pickled ginger in it, I can't taste it."

Then he turned his head and asked the staff of Shuxianglou, "Chili peppers and peppercorns should be added on the spot, do you have any original soup there that has not been added?" ”

The staff of Shuxianglou, led by Manager Chu, originally wanted not to cooperate, but when they saw Minister Xu and the leaders coming over, they knew that they might not be able to be sloppy.

The staff member who was in charge of transporting the materials before moved out two large thermos pots from the booth of Shuxianglou, which were all original soup without peppercorns, chili peppers, pickled peppers, and pickled ginger, which were originally intended to be used to replenish the soup in the big pot in the ring.

The three referees, Zhong, Lai, and Liao, poured some and tasted them.

Referee Zhong frowned and said, "There is no smell of poppy husks." ”

Referee Liao nodded: "I haven't tasted it either." ”

Referee Lai hesitated for a moment and said, "There are no poppy husks, but..."

"But what?" Zhong and Liao, the two referees, asked together.

Referee Lai said hesitantly: "I... I can't say it, but I think it's a bit like... It's a human flavor that I've tasted recently, but it's unlikely to be here. ”

"Oh, old lai, when is it, you have something to say, I annoy you the most, it's always my mother-in-law." Although Judge Liao is a woman, she is very anxious and can't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"I told you, don't call me a laid-back." Referee Lai said with some annoyance.

"This soup is mellow and sweet, and the taste is different from that of tarpon, and the aftertaste makes the tongue feel a little prickly after drinking."

Referee Lai paused, saw that Referee Liao's eyes were glaring and he was about to speak, and hurriedly said his conjecture:

"The taste and feel is a bit like the fugu liver I tasted at Toei last week."

Referee Zhong's face changed greatly, and he grabbed Referee Lai's hand:

"Are you sure? This is no joke, puffer fish liver is highly poisonous. ”

Referee Lai didn't care about Referee Zhong's name for him at this time, and smiled bitterly:

"Isn't it impossible for me to be sure, if it is really added with puffer fish liver, you and I will probably go to rescue it now, and then there is a chance to stand here."

"But that can't be ruled out, right?" Referee Zhong said what Judge Lai thought, "In this way, I will make the decision and send these soups for testing." ”

"Count me in." Referee Liao glanced at Referee Lai and said to Referee Zhong.

"Hey, count me in." Referee Lai said helplessly.

"Three seniors, please come and try this fish fillet."

The three referees looked back and saw Fang Yu standing in the ring, holding the jar that Ma Hao used to hold pickled fish fillets.

The three referees walked over and found Fang Yu holding a slice of pickled fish that had been bitten in his hand.

"Three seniors, you can also taste it, this jar of Ma Hao is really different."

The three referees each took a piece of pickled sashimi from the jar and took a bite to taste it.

The fillet is cut very thin and tender, and the spices are marinated in the meat, but the strong lemongrass flavor masks the fishy smell of the fishy meat, and at the same time, it also destroys the original flavor of the fillet, making the aftertaste a little sour and a little bitter.

The three referees looked at each other, tasted it again, and then said in unison: "Poppy husk!" ”
