Tuesday, January 28.

It was supposed to be a New Year's night, and a few police cars whistled quickly on the empty streets, attracting people's attention.

A Western restaurant in the heart of Sioux City is unusually noisy, and a few well-trained waiters try to calm the customers who are gradually becoming impetuous due to the emergency.

"It's unbelievable to hear that someone died of poisoning after eating food from this shop."

"Who will dare to come here to eat in the future? It's terrible, isn't it? ”

"Until the police arrive, please stay quiet!"

When the police car finally arrived at the scene, stopped on the side of the road, and evacuated the surrounding onlookers to safety, a young police officer, Wei Yang, who was appointed as the main person in charge of the case, walked down from a police car.

When the lobby manager of the western restaurant saw him, he immediately nodded and came to greet him, "Officer, you are here." ”

Wei Yang nodded, and after ordering the others to take their places, he followed the lobby manager into the western restaurant, and on the way here, he learned about the incident from the person who called the police.

At 6:10 p.m., the police station received a report that Mr. Ning, a customer in the western restaurant in the center of Sioux City, suddenly foamed at the mouth while eating, fell to the ground, and died immediately after a short time, and the person who called the police was Mr. Ni, who was sitting in the seat behind Mr. Ning.

The body of the victim, Mr. Ning, had been taken to the hospital for further examination at the behest of Officer Wei, leaving only traces of the scene, and the lobby manager swore that the store would never do anything like poisoning the food of customers, and Wei Yang waved his hand to indicate that he knew about it and walked towards those traces. When he arrived, the forensic doctor was already testing the food and utensils that Mr. Ning was eating, and the results showed that all of them had a little bit of toxin.

There was an uproar, with other customers expressing their anger at the restaurant's behavior and asking forensic doctors to test their food for toxins, but the results showed no.

The lobby manager collapsed and felt that one head and two were big, and shouted how could this be possible, this was a matter of credibility of the restaurant.

Looking at the lobby manager's appearance, it really didn't look like he was cheating, and besides, it would be bad for the western restaurant to happen, Wei Yang looked around, and his eyes happened to see the lonely back sitting in the corner, eating pasta slowly. With a smile on his lips, he walked over to the other party.

"I really admire this young lady, even if such an incident happened in this store, it didn't hinder you."

The woman turned her head, the long black hair hanging down her shoulders fell behind her with her movements, her indifferent expression was not shaken by Wei Yang's disturbance, and after seeing Wei Yang, those eyes retracted their gaze without hurry, and then lowered their heads as if they didn't see it.

Wei Yang, who was ignored, scratched his face in embarrassment, but he didn't get angry as if he had expected it a long time ago, but reminded helplessly, "Miss An, is it really good for you to ignore your ex-boyfriend like this?" ”

“……”

Wei Yang sighed and continued, "Since Miss An must have seen the whole process at the scene, can you tell me more about it?" ”

“……”

Wei Yang silently supported his forehead, and finally could only take away the plate in front of the woman, and it didn't take long for him to immediately receive the woman's accusatory gaze, he shook his head, "Miss An, don't forget that you are one of the suspects now." ”

The woman frowned slightly, seeing that she couldn't grab her dinner, she picked up the tissue at hand and wiped the tomato sauce off the corner of her mouth and stood up, glanced at Wei Yang angrily, walked to the vicinity of Mr. Ning's seat, and her sharp gaze quickly locked on a few suspicious clues.

Her actions made the other subordinates want to stop them when they saw this, and Wei Yang waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to stop it.

"Officer Wei, who is she?" The subordinate who didn't know why walked up to Wei Yang and asked quietly.

Wei Yang looked at the back of the person who was looking at the scene seriously, "She's called An Keqing, as for what she's doing, you'll know right away." ”

An Keqing glanced at the scene, immediately captured a few unusual places, and finally looked at the lobby manager and asked, "Is Mr. Ning eating here alone?" ”

The lobby manager was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully, "Huh? Today is a person, usually with his daughter...... Speaking of which, Mr. Ning also booked two seats as usual today. ”

"Are you the one who called the police?" An Keqing then looked at the man who had just finished taking the notes in a daze.

"Yes...... Yes. Mr. Ni nodded stunned.

"Was it your girlfriend who was eating with you?" An Keqing tilted her head to look at the petite lady next to Mr. Ni, she hid behind Mr. Ni stiffly, as if she was frightened by this kind of thing, but she didn't dare to show her head.

"Her surname is Xie, she is my fiancée, and we plan to get married next year." Mr. Ni comforted his fiancée.

"yes, that's congratulations." Although she said congratulations, An Keqing's face was bland, and it was impossible to tell if she was really congratulating. She walked towards Wei Yang and inadvertently turned around, "However, it's a pity that you won't be able to get married next year." ”

"What do you mean!" Mr. Ni frowned and expressed dissatisfaction.

Wei Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, did he already know who the prisoner was just by asking two questions? I should really say that it is worthy of her, realizing that she has never let him down now, "Miss An, please explain." ”

An Keqing found a chair and sat down, "Let's talk about the whole process after Mr. Ning entered the store, although the corner I sat in was far away, but the angle was just right to see the whole process." After entering the store, Mr. Ning sat down in his reserved seat as usual, and then ordered a cup of Earl Grey tea, a black pepper sirloin steak, a cream bacon pasta, a borscht, an assorted fruit salad, and a chocolate mousse cake. ”

"Yes, yes! It's amazing, it's all right. Only then did the lobby manager remember to pick up the order, and according to what An Keqing said, they were compared one by one, and the score was exactly the same.

An Keqing continued, "I ordered a lot of dishes, but Mr. Ning didn't start eating immediately, but answered the phone, and talked loudly as if he was arguing with someone, and then went to the bathroom once, and when he came back, he started eating." ”

The person at the table next to Mr. Ning nodded, it was indeed exactly the same as she said.

"In between, the people who went to the bathroom one after the other were Miss Xie and this gentleman." Miss Xie and the other gentleman who was named both nodded, admitting that what An Keqing said was not wrong.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh at how strong An Keqing's memory was, if it weren't for this kind of thing, who would have noticed what food other people ordered and when they left their positions, to put it in layman's terms, people who come here to eat are egotists, and rarely pay attention to others, even if they look at it a few more times out of curiosity, they will quickly forget it after a while, let alone everyone here.

"Since it has been detected that there are toxins in the food that Mr. Ning ate, everyone else who ordered the same dish as him is fine. The lobby manager also said one thing very clearly, everyone can see that harming Mr. Ning is not beneficial to the Western restaurant at all, so the murderer has someone else. ”

The lobby manager breathed a sigh of relief, all in all, it was best that the credibility problem would not be affected.

"And the murderer is actually among these people present."
