Chapter 452: Competitors
Lu Qi went to the forensic department, the results of the autopsy have come out, Yang Mufeng's time of death was between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening, and the direct cause of his death was taking a large amount of ricin, but no ricin was found in the wine glass at the scene, and it is still impossible to determine how the murderer poisoned him.
Lu Qi decided to arrange for some staff to come over that night to recognize people, and Chen Weiwei was still wearing yesterday's clothes.
Two staff members recognized that Chen Weiwei should be the woman who appeared in the No. 17 booth last night, dressed and tall, but the color of her hair was different, and Chen Weiwei had just dyed her hair this morning.
The facts of the case seem to be coming to light, and the people led by Li Zhong believe that there are physical and human evidence, and there is also a motive for the crime, and Chen Weiwei can basically be locked as the murderer.
But Lu Qi doesn't see it that way, although there is a lot of evidence collected, but every piece of evidence is worth scrutinizing.
For example, Chen Weiwei's appearance in the bar is debatable, because of the lack of surveillance, no footage of her entering the bar has been found, and now the only person who can prove her appearance in the bar is the waiter.
In that case, the possibility of admitting a mistake could not be ruled out.
Chen Weiwei almost didn't stop on the way to Heytea, and they found Chen Weiwei passing by the SEVEN STAR bar from several surveillance videos, and when she passed by the door of the bar, she didn't look in the direction of the bar.
Of course, these monitoring can't do all-round without dead ends, monitoring has blind spots, and it is impossible to record Chen Weiwei's actions every minute.
Li Zhong made a presumption of guilt, and he believed that Chen Weiwei had time to enter the bar and commit the crime on the way back and forth.
Lu Qi patiently listened to Li Zhong's opinion, but he still felt that Chen Weiwei was innocent, and a person who could carefully plan the entire crime would not leave so many omissions.
If you are determined to kill, why do you want to leave a lipstick mark? Why leave fingerprints? Why leave castor beans in the store?
All this evidence is obviously intended to lead the direction of the police investigation to Chen Weiwei.
There are too many doubts in Lu Qi's heart, the cause of Yang Mufeng's death was ingesting a large amount of ricin, and no toxin was detected in the wine glass in front of him, did someone take Yang Mufeng's wine glass away after poisoning, and took Yang Mufeng's mobile phone at the same time.
If Chen Weiwei is innocent, then there must be another person at the scene, this person is not only familiar with Yang Mufeng, but also familiar with Chen Weiwei, who can not only make Yang Mufeng relax his vigilance and drink the wine with ricin, but also take Chen Weiwei's fingerprints and hair.
Pei Lin made a special trip to Carnival Square and came to the mother and baby shop opposite the nail salon, while absentmindedly selecting baby products, while observing the nail shop opposite, the nail shop had closed its doors and was temporarily closed, she knew that Chen Weiwei had run into trouble.
Yang Mufeng died, Chen Weiwei was investigated, Pei Lin knew that everything might just be temporary, maybe one day the police would suddenly appear in front of her.
There is no seamless crime in this world, if the police continue to investigate, sooner or later they will find out that they and Yang Mufeng once had an old relationship.
There are still many flaws in the clues he left, and Xu Chunliang, he knows about his affairs with Yang Mufeng, if he tells the police about his help, then the police will suspect him.
Thinking of this, Pei Lin suddenly became uneasy again, she really wanted to escape from here immediately, but if she left now, wouldn't she not admit herself?
Pei Lin realized that Yang Mufeng's death did not mean the end, but the beginning of a new round of suffering.
Xu Chunliang accompanied Hua Zhuyue to attend the opening ceremony of the OMMIA bar, which is the flagship store built by Hedong Group in Pinghai.
Pan Weidong, the general manager of Hedong Group, came to Dongzhou to personally preside over the opening ceremony, and he specially invited the popular traffic star Xie Weiting.
When Xu Chunliang and Hua arrived at the scene month by month, they saw that the front of the bar had been surrounded by fans and fans.
Seeing the explosive popularity of OMMIA, and then thinking of the bleak status quo of the cold in front of SEVEN STAR, Hua couldn't help but sigh month by month, the boss Ji Buyao is becoming more and more Buddhist, so that their physical business will become worse and worse, and the market share will be continuously squeezed by Hedong.
Pan Weidong, aged 27, is currently the general manager of Hedong Group. Different from the general drunken dream, he is one of the few sons to inherit his father's business, and he studied in North America throughout the middle school and college stages, returned from his studies two years ago, and single-handedly built the Beijing OMMIA brand that year.
In the past two years, the OMMIA brand has blossomed everywhere in China, and has built 21 stores, more than half of which are located in provincial capitals.
This OMMIA in Dongzhou is the third in the prefecture-level city, and the reason why it was chosen in Dongzhou is because of the geographical location of Dongzhou, and its influence can radiate to the surrounding five provinces.
Unlike the vigorous development of Hedong, Blue Star has fallen into business difficulties in the past two years, and the two major brands of Blue Star and SEVEN STAR have come to a standstill. Hua proposed to Ji Buyao month by month to close some of the stores that were not operating well, integrate and reinstall, accurately position, and reshape the brand.
The plan has been sent, but Ji Buyao has not given her a clear answer so far.
LU YUHAO, THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE OMMIA BAR IN DONGZHOU, SAW HUA YUEYUE AND HURRIEDLY GREETED HER, SHE USED TO BE THE MANAGER OF SEVEN STAR, BUT SHE WAS REPLACED BY XIE CHUNLEI AFTER SHE LEFT.
Lu Yuhao was very jealous of Hua Zhuyue, and said respectfully: "Sister Hua! ”
Hua Zhuyue looked at Lu Yuhao with a smile and said, "You came back from Huhai?" ”
Lu Yuhao left Lanxing and went to Huhai, and now he has been sent to Dongzhou to take charge of OMMIA's business.
Lu Yuhao said: "I'll go back when this side is straightened out for the time being." ”
Hua Zhuyue nodded, although there is no clear non-compete agreement in their line, but Lu Yuhao is still weak in her heart when she jumped from Lanxing to a competitor, she was picked up by Hua Zhuyue, it can be said that without Hua Zhuyue, she would not be where she is today.
Hua introduced Xu Chunliang to Lu Yuhao by the moon, and Lu Yuhao hurriedly sent his business card.
Xu Chunliang exchanged business cards with her, and noticed that her title was the general manager of Hedong Entertainment East China.
Hua Zhuyue said: "What about Mr. Pan? ”
Lu Yuhao said: "I am receiving Xie Weiting." ”
Hua Zhuyue said indifferently: "Popular traffic!" ”
Lu Yuhao smiled, and when she heard the dissatisfaction in Hua Zhuyue's voice, she hurriedly invited her and Xu Chunliang to sit in the box. Hua Zhuyue said no, she wanted to visit and learn.
Lu Yuhao originally wanted to accompany her in person, Hua Zhuyue waved her hand, and asked her to go to the official opening today, there are still many things to be busy, Hua Zhuyue doesn't like to be followed, and intends to appreciate this newly opened bar from the perspective of consumers.
The OMMIA bar is luxuriously decorated and the staff is young and beautiful.
Xu Chunliang took two glasses of red wine from the tray of the beautiful staff on the side, one of which was handed to Hua Zhuyue.
Hua Zhuyue took a sip of red wine and said, "How do you feel?" ”
Xu Chunliang smiled: "I'm not an expert, so I don't have much say in this regard." ”
"Compare it to SEVEN STAR."
Xu Chunliang said truthfully: "The decoration is more luxurious than your side, and the waiters are younger and more beautiful than yours."
Hua Zhuyue said: "If this industry wants to maintain its popularity, it must continue to innovate, and our business model has fallen behind. ”
Xu Chunliang pointed to the door and reminded the flower to be moonless, and Xie Chunlei came.
Hua Zhuyue glanced at Xie Chunlei coldly, and did not hide her displeasure.
Xu Chunliang can understand that the SEVEN STAR in Dongzhou is constantly in turmoil, which is related to Xie Chunlei's poor management, just take the fact that he made a big fuss about SEVEN STAR at the beginning was completely because the bar could not guarantee the safety of the guests, and Tang Tianyi openly harassed Zhen Chun.
Afterwards, the bar could not uphold justice and help Tang Tianyi conceal the facts.
Xie Chunlei chatted with Lu Yuhao for a few words, looked around, and finally found Hua Zhuyue in the crowd, and he hurriedly walked over.
Xie Chunlei mainly reported to Hua Zhuyue the progress of the death incident in the bar, he went to the police station just now, and the police summoned a number of staff members, including him, this time to identify people, and some waiters recognized Chen Weiwei who appeared in the bar last night and drank with Yang Mufeng.
Hua Zhuyue didn't know Chen Weiwei, as long as the real culprit was not a staff member at the bar.
Xie Chunlei said: "I just applied to the police to unblock, but they refused, Sister Hua, it seems that you have to come forward in this matter, if it drags on like this, our bar will suffer a lot of losses." ”
Hua Zhuyue said: "What am I doing here?" Even if the lockdown is lifted now, do you think there will be business? The dead man incident is spreading, and the Chinese New Year is about to begin, and everyone can't avoid it, who will patronize SEVEN STAR? She paused and said, "Besides, there is more than one bar in Dongzhou." ”
Xie Chunlei sighed in annoyance and said, "I don't know what's going on lately? Troubles abound. When he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Chunliang, and if he didn't say anything, this guy would give them a lot of trouble.
Hua Zhuyue said: "You seem to be looking for the reason from yourself, the camera in the bar is damaged so much, why didn't you repair it in time?" ”
In front of Xu Chunliang, Hua Zhuyue didn't give him any face, Xie Chunlei said with a fever: "Sister Hua, I have already arranged it, but the security side did not implement it in time, so I immediately fired him." ”
The person who said it should be opened is you.
At this time, Pan Weidong, accompanied by Lu Yuhao, walked towards them.
Pan Weidong smiled and stretched out his hand to Hua Zhuyue: "Mr. Hua is here, and he is not welcome." ”
Hua Zhuyue shook hands with him: "I wish Mr. Pan a happy opening and a wide range of financial resources." ”
Pan Weidong laughed: "Borrowing flowers is always auspicious, everyone will get rich together and get rich together, the market is so big, the money is inexhaustible." "But I know very well in my heart that they are competitors, and the opening of OMMIA in Dongzhou this time is tantamount to grabbing food, and Hua Zhuyue must be unhappy in his heart.
But the Blue Star Group has not been as strong as before recently, even if you are unhappy, you have to endure it.
