"Dad, it's me, Zhao Chen!"

Zhao Chen stood at the door, holding a bowl of fish soup in his hand, with a strange smile on his face.

"I'm bringing you food, today's fish soup, special, don't, fresh!"

At this time, the eighth uncle Zhao Fuqing was still guarding the door of the third uncle's study according to the instructions of Xie's mother.

When he saw the door open, he looked in curiously.

Well? What about Zhao Jue? What about Jiang Lifei?

Didn't they come to the study to talk to the third uncle??

"Oh...... Xiao Chen! Come on in. Third Uncle Zhao greeted.

"I heard Mother Xie say, didn't you catch a fish today?"

"Hehe, I used market-bought fish today!"

Zhao Chen walked into the study and put the fish soup in front of the third uncle: "Dad, drink it while it's hot!" ”

"Xiao Chen is really sensible, you let your dad drink here, let's go to the restaurant on the second floor to eat!" Zhao Fuqing greeted at the door.

Since Zhao Jue and Jiang Lifei are not here, there is no need for him to stay at the door of the study all the time.

Hearing his words, Uncle Zhao looked at the family members who were queuing up on the screen to "be trained", raised his head and stopped talking.

Zhao Fuqing saw the expression of the third brother, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, third brother?" ”

"It's okay...... the third uncle shook his head, "You...... You haven't done anything bad lately, have you? ”

"Huh?" Zhao Fuqing was stunned, "Of course it's gone!" Third brother, you know me, I'm the main one to be a frank person! ”

"Okay, then you can go." Uncle Zhao San waved his hand.

"Come on, Dad, it's time for soup."

After Zhao Fuqing left, Zhao Chen sat down next to the third uncle, took a spoonful of fish soup, and brought it to his mouth.

The third uncle blew and drank it into his mouth.

"Well, it's fresh!" He nodded and commented.

"It's chicken essence, I added chicken essence." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Third Uncle Zhao was stunned: "Chicken...... Do you make fish soup? ”

Although his memory has deteriorated now, he still remembers Zhao Chen's affairs very clearly.

Back then, because Zhao Chen was playing too much outside, the third uncle took him to court in anger and deprived him of all his assets.

Since then, Zhao Chen's brain has gone wrong, and he, who originally loved cooking, has completely said goodbye to the kitchen......

Today, Zhao Chen was able to cook in person, is his condition improving?

"Yes, Mama Xie is too busy today, I made you fish soup." Zhao Chen said as he smiled and handed over a spoonful of fish soup.

"Drink, Dad! After drinking this scoop, there is the next scoop......"

……

At the same time, in the food storage room on the first floor, Zhao Jue and Zhao Xi finished checking the last freezer and gathered at the door of the storage room.

"Did you find anything?" Zhao Jue asked.

Zhao Xi frowned and nodded, and took out a black plastic bag from behind him.

"What's this?" Zhao Jue asked curiously.

Burst!

The black plastic bag suddenly jumped, causing Zhao Jue to take half a step back.

"Fish." Zhao Xi replied succinctly.

"Of the food samples that were sent for testing before, fish was the most problematic."

"Oh......" Zhao Jue took the plastic bag, opened it and took a look, it was a very ordinary crucian carp.

"This ...... I guess I bought it in the market, right? ”

Zhao Xi nodded: "There are several, in the pool." ”

"This fish doesn't look like there's a problem...... Zhao Jue muttered.

"But these ingredients don't look abnormal, let's take one out for inspection first."

"The kitchen is next door, so we'll go over there and see if there's any problem."

The two walked out of the food storage room and cautiously walked towards the back door of the kitchen, not far away.

Squeak –

Zhao Jue gently pushed open the back door of the kitchen and poked his head out to take a look.

At this time, the back kitchen was empty, and the head chef Xie Shuhua and several assistant chefs had already withdrawn.

The whole kitchen was spotlessly cleaned, and it was even a little scary......

"Let's still do the same as just now," Zhao Jue instructed softly, "You go over there, I'll go over there, and meet here after the inspection." ”

Zhao Xi nodded, and a trace of nervousness appeared on his cold face.

If there is no evidence of "biotoxins" in the food storage room, then it is likely that the problem is the cooking process.

In other words, this back kitchen may be the place where "poisoning" is implemented!

Perhaps, the key evidence is hidden in some corner here!

"I'm going!"

Zhao Xi clenched his small fist and was about to leave, when he was suddenly grabbed by Zhao Jue's arm.

"Squat!" Zhao Jue shouted in a suppressed voice.

The two squatted behind the sterilizer.

Da! Da! Da! Da ......

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the front door of the kitchen, and they were getting closer.

I can hear that the owner of this footstep is also very cautious, stopping and stopping all the way, as if he is looking for something.

"That guy is back?!" Zhao Xi let out a soft shout, "He wants to come back and destroy the evidence!" ”

"Shhhh......h

"Don't be nervous! If we follow him, we will find what we want! ”

Zhao Xi stared at his round eyes and nodded vigorously.

Then, the two of them crept behind the sterilizer and crept to the deeper part of the kitchen following the footsteps.

Da, da, da-

The footsteps stopped suddenly, and the soles of the man's shoes creaked on the ground, and he froze in place.

Zhao Jue and Zhao Xi also immediately stopped and looked at each other nervously.

Discovered?

The two of them couldn't help but hold their breath and pricked up their ears to listen to the man's movements.

Zhao Jue felt that his squatting legs were a little numb, and he was older, and his blood circulation was indeed not as good as that of 19-year-old Zhao Xi......

Da, da......

Sure enough, the footsteps began to speed up, and then they bypassed the disinfection cabinet and rushed straight towards Zhao Jue and the others.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Zhao Jue urged in a low voice, "Hide over there!" ”

Zhao Xi nodded quickly, then turned around, took Zhao Jue's hand and walked briskly towards another disinfection cabinet.

However, the speed of the footsteps was obviously faster, and before they could hide themselves, the other party had already appeared behind them.

"Hey!!" A boy's voice exploded behind them.

Chirping!

Zhao Jue and Zhao Xi stopped suddenly, the two of them held hands, and turned their backs to the boy in the center of the aisle, and froze in place.

……

The whole kitchen was silent.

Two women in white dresses held hands and an unknown boy silently confronted each other in silence in the aisle.

After about seven or eight seconds, the boy suddenly asked with tears in his voice:

"Who are you, ......?"

"You're human and ghost......!!"

Zhao Jue couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this familiar voice.

If I remember correctly, during the Chinese New Year this year, this voice also gave himself a video to worship the New Year, and "tricked" a big red envelope!

This...... Isn't this the youngest son of the fourth uncle's family?

"Zhao! Follow! ”

Zhao Jue turned around abruptly and scolded loudly: "Why don't you go to the second floor to eat, why do you sneak into the kitchen?" ”

Zhao Sui narrowed his myopic eyes, and after confirming that it was his cousin Zhao Jue on the other side, he suddenly felt that it was better to meet two female ghosts.

He cried with a sad face, pursed a pair of eight-character eyebrows and said, "Sister Jue, Sister Xi...... I heard that Mama Xie made black truffle fresh meat dumplings, and I want to eat a little ......"

Zhao Jue was angry, endured the numbness of his legs, walked up to him and grabbed his ears.

"You're 16 years old! I can't get rid of the problem of stealing food! Are you skinning tight, I'll loosen it for you! ”

The youngest son of her fourth uncle's family doesn't know what quirks he has.

Obviously, there is no shortage of food or clothing, but I like to do some sneaky things to find excitement.

Before Zhao Jue left the imperial capital at the age of 19, he played women's doubles with Xie's mother, but he didn't expect that almost 10 years have passed, and this problem has not been changed!

The most important thing is that this kid made Zhao Jue and Zhao Xi frightened, and their legs were numb!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Sister Jue, spare me! Zhao Sui wailed loudly.

"I'm 16 years old, can you give me some face? I'm also an old fan of the flying judge, and you have to look at the owner to beat the dog! ”

"An old fan of the Flying Judge, huh?" Zhao Jue added strength to his hand, "Don't old fans know how to ask Fei Ye to listen to persuasion before doing bad things?" ”

Boom!

At that moment, a dull popping sound came from the stove in the depths of the kitchen.

Zhao Xi was so frightened that he shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Zhao Jue tightly with one hand.

Zhao Sui was also taken aback, and instinctively hid behind Zhao Jue.

The three immediately stopped moving, nervously looking in the direction where the sound came from.

"W-What's going on?" Zhao Sui asked stumblingly.

Zhao Jue turned his head and glared at him: "You are 16 years old, haven't you grown up?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another dull explosion from that direction—

Boom!

Zhao Jue frowned and slowly walked towards the direction of the voice.

"Jue, Sister Jue......" Zhao Sui persuaded in a low voice, "Let's not go over, right?" What if it's a gas explosion? ”

Zhao Jue gave him a blank look: "Did the gas explosion in your house happen all at once?" ”

With that, she led her cousin and cousin cautiously towards the depths of the kitchen.

Wait until you turn a corner and you'll come to the cooking area.

At this time, in front of them, a large pot of soup was simmering on a low heat on an unmanned stove.

The muffled sound of "bang bang" just now was made after the pot of soup was boiling.

Zhao Sui snorted: "Sister Jue, Sister Xi, if I guessed correctly, it must be a pot of fish soup!" ”

Zhao Jue frowned and walked over and turned off the fire on the stove.

"It's impossible for Mama Xie to leave the kitchen, but the fire is always on! This must have been the fish soup that someone made after the kitchen was gone! ”

Zhao Xi nodded, lifted the lid of the pot, fanned the top of the fish soup with his hand, and then sniffed carefully.

"It's fish soup, don't smell Sister Xi!" Zhao Sui said confidently.

At the same time, his eyes looked around the kitchen for a pair of cutlery and a sips.

After all, thieves don't go empty, they don't steal black truffle dumplings, and they don't steal a sip of fish soup!

"Huh? What is this? He suddenly asked a question, his eyes fixed on the kitchen waste bin.

Zhao Jue followed his gaze and only saw a pile of fish offal and a mess of kitchen waste.

"Test tube!" Zhao Xi suddenly said loudly.

She picked up a spatula and pulled it twice in the trash can, and a shiny glass tube appeared in front of the three of them.

"Go get that tube out!" Zhao Jue said to Zhao Sui in an unquestionable tone.

The latter pursed his mouth, put on a pair of rubber gloves, and took out the small test tube in a pile of kitchen waste.

At this time, you can clearly see that on the wall of the test tube, there is a drop of viscous milky white liquid, which is almost the same color as the fish soup!

“ZOTX！” Zhao Xi said with certainty, "This dose may directly lead to nervous system poisoning and induce epilepsy symptoms!" ”

"So...... This toxin, in the fish broth? Zhao Jue reacted immediately.

The eyes of the two of them looked at the pot of fish soup that was still boiling.

"Sister, you ...... Drink less? Zhao Sui didn't know where to find a pair of chopsticks, and said with a blank eye.

"Quick! Xiaoxi, you do a sample! Zhao Jue said quickly.

"Little Sui! You go to the restaurant, and if someone is drinking fish soup, break his bowl! ”

"Huh?" Zhao Sui held the bowl with a confused expression.

"Go!" Zhao Jue shouted loudly.

"I'll go to the study to find the third uncle, let's go our separate ways, hurry!!"
