[Chapter 190 Suppliers]
Tang Hao heard the news and rushed to take over the case in person, he investigated all the surveillance, and determined that these foods were not the hands of Mu Feng and others.
According to the manager of the restaurant, the food in their store has always been delivered by the supplier Lao Zhang. Since last week, the food delivered by Lao Zhang is not only fresh, but also large.
The food stir-fried with these ingredients is even better than usual, and the restaurant's business is many times more popular than usual.
There were still some leftovers from the diners in the restaurant, and Mu Feng checked around and found that they were eating the same ingredients
Liang Miaomiao said: "I also heard that the food in this restaurant is delicious, and I only placed an order yesterday." The food started to be passive a week ago, and I don't think it was aimed at us. β
Mu Feng said: "Regardless of whether this matter is aimed at us or not, since we have encountered it, we are all obliged to deal with this matter." β
Everyone nodded one after another, if the ghosts behind the scenes are still allowed to absorb a large amount of other people's spiritual power or souls, the consequences will be unimaginable!
If a ghost wants to absorb a person's energy through food, he must first divide a part of his soul (spiritual energy) and hide it in the food.
A ghost like this, who can divide so many souls at the same time, and wrap rotten food so perfectly, must be a powerful ghost.
They had to destroy this ghost before they had regained all their souls.
Manager Zhang only has Lao Zhang's name and phone number, but this is enough. The police quickly found his current address and rushed over with someone.
Mu Feng was afraid that the ghosts would escape, and asked his disciples and the police to surround Lao Zhang's house.
Lao Zhang's family is in a narrow alley in the city, so he lives on the first floor in order to facilitate transportation. Don't look at the area of his house is not large, but the location is still very good, and you can walk to the commercial street in ten minutes.
Tang Hao knocked on the door for a long time before someone came out to open the door.
It was Lao Zhang who opened the door, he looked sleepy-eyed, and he was startled when he saw so many people gathered at the door, Tang Hao only used one trick to press him to the ground: "Police!" Don't move! β
Lao Zhang was suddenly so frightened that he fell asleep: "Police? Why are the police arresting me? β
"Tell me honestly, what have you done with the ingredients you've been selling lately?"
"I didn't do anything! The ingredients are still purchased from regular supermarkets! β
Suppliers like Lao Zhang generally buy large quantities of ingredients directly from farmers and then wholesale them to supermarkets or restaurants to earn the difference in price. So Tang Hao didn't believe what Lao Zhang said at all: "Don't people know how to buy it in the supermarket at the same price?" Buy at a high price and sell at a low price, will you trade at a loss? β
Tang Hao interrogated here, and Mu Feng and the rest of the police had already searched Lao Zhang's house.
Lao Zhang is the only one in the house at the moment, his wife has gone to work, and the children are also studying. Except for some food that contained ghostly energy, Mu Feng did not find any clues that other ghosts lived here.
Under Tang Hao's repeated questioning, Lao Zhang still insisted that he didn't do anything in the food, and it didn't look like he was lying.
Lao Zhang usually gets up at two or three o'clock in the morning to work, and he has to go to the countryside to find farmers to collect vegetables, and then transport fresh vegetables to the supermarket and then the restaurant before the supermarket opens.
It's usually noon when he's done with this, so his schedule is the opposite of that of a normal person. With thick bags under his eyes, Lao Zhang said: "Just last week, I went to the suburbs to collect vegetables as usual. It was very cold, and I saw a newly opened supermarket near the highway junction. I was thinking about buying a cup of instant noodles to warm up, only to find that the food in the supermarket was cheaper than the food I collected! At that time, I went back to the farmer's house in a panic and asked him to return the overcharged money to me. However, the farmer relied on the cold weather and the shortage of vegetables, so he refused to lose a dime. I was so angry that I didn't want to buy it from them.
At that time, I also asked the supermarket owner where they received the goods, but he said that it was a trade secret and would not tell me. I thought that if I had money to make anyway, I would ask for goods from the supermarket owner, not only would the goods be fresh, but I wouldn't have to run from door to door. So I've been stocking up with him all week.
What do you say is wrong with these ingredients? It can't be that there are too many hormones, right? I also wondered if it was strange that vegetables of this quality could not be sold so cheaply even in the peak season, especially since it was still winter......
It seems that the supplier does not know the secrets of the ingredients, and it is obvious that they are being used by ghosts.
Escorted Lao Zhang into the police car, everyone followed, and finally arrived at the road near the entrance of the highway that Lao Zhang said.
If you want to get on or off the highway, you have to pass through this road, so there is a lot of traffic here.
"That's where I bought my goods." Lao Zhang pointed to a store on the side of the road and said.
The faΓ§ade does have a big signboard with the words "Jiajia Supermarket", but the signboard looks very shabby, and the wind and rain have long blurred out those words, if you don't look carefully, it's really easy to ignore this supermarket and treat it as an ordinary house.
Everyone got out of the car and walked in only to find that the roller shutter of the supermarket was tightly closed, and there was a sign for renting a shop next to it.
The supplier Lao Zhang was in a hurry at that time, and he kept swearing and swearing: "This supermarket owner who killed a thousand knives ran away in advance if something went wrong!" It hurt Lao Tzu to carry the black pot for him! β
Although the sign does not indicate the time, it is clear that it has been posted for some time. The two glass walls of the supermarket displaying goods are also covered with a thick layer of dust.
Tang Hao wiped a small piece of the glass clean with his hand and looked inside. There are only a few crooked shelves in the supermarket, and the shelves are empty, and in addition to dust, there are many cobwebs everywhere, and it is almost a paradise for spiders.
Tang Hao asked: "It depends on the situation, this place has been deserted for more than a week, are you sure you are buying goods here?" β
Lao Zhang also saw the situation inside, froze for a long time, and then carefully identified the surrounding environment, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be here...... There is only one supermarket in the vicinity...... It's supposed to be here, but how did it come to be? β
Lao Zhang was puzzled, because when he came to buy goods, the supermarket was full of goods, and it seemed that business was not bad, even in the middle of the night, there were still dozens of customers in it to choose goods.
He began to think about it carefully, and found that in the past few days when he came to buy goods, it seemed that customers in the supermarket had the same faces coming and going!
Is it necessary for them to run to the supermarket every night to buy something in the middle of the night? Even if you live close to home, you don't have to toss like this!
