Chapter 43 Crisis

Back at the Sansheng Hotel, the man sent by the patrol room was already waiting in the kitchen. The man looked to be in his forties, with a fat figure and big ears. His hair was smeared with hair oil. He was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed.

, he closed his eyes and listened to the master's reply as if concentrating. Next to him was a little assistant who was recording carefully with a notebook.

Song Wushuang and Zhou Zihe did not go in to disturb them, they just stood at the door and listened to the conversation in the kitchen.

He asked, "Since Zhao Acai is your apprentice, you must know him very well."

The master chef kept denying it as if he was afraid of getting angry, "He's not really an apprentice. He was just watching and learning while I was cooking."

"Has he been unusual in anything lately?"

"No, he's the same as before. He's lazy and wandering. If he hadn't had the talent to cook creative dishes, I would have kicked him out of the kitchen long ago."

"Oh? It turns out that Zhao Acai is like this." He slowly picked up the tea cup, blew the floating leaves, and took a sip of tea.

At this time, the master noticed Zhou Zihe and Song Wushuang standing at the door and watching. He reminded the detective, "Mr. Zhou and Miss An Xin are here."

The detective had no intention of getting up. He took a long breath and stood up. He said as if he was far away, "Hey, Mr. Zhou is here. My name is Xu San. I will handle your Sansheng Hotel case next."

I'll take over."

Zhou Zi’s congratulations were thoughtful and polite, and he said in a polite tone, “Please be aware of everything. The reputation of our Sansheng Hotel depends on you. We will try our best to handle the case as much as possible, no matter how big or small it is.”

Detective Xu San raised the corner of his mouth, "Boss Zhou is a sensible person, you're welcome."

Song Wu held the employee attendance record sheet in both hands and handed it over politely, "Inspector Xu, this is Zhao Acai's attendance record sheet. Please take a look at it."

He looked at Song Wushuang with a smile, and said with pity, "Hey, how can a girl like you hold such a thick material?" He took the material, his eyes were not willing to leave her body, which made Song

Wushuang was very uncomfortable.

Xu San flipped through it casually, his eyes stopped on a page, and his expression changed. "The Zhao family accused you of exhausting Zhao Acai to death, and now it seems the evidence is conclusive." He threw the notebook on the ground with a dark face.

Song Wushuang didn't know why. He immediately picked up the notebook and checked it. He was confused. The notebook clearly recorded that Zhao Acai had been working overtime frequently in the past month. Especially in the past week, he actually worked the day shift and night shift for three days in a row. He had to rest every day.

It's less than four hours.

She looked at Zhou Zihe, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Zihe couldn't believe it and asked the master chef, "Our hotel is not open to the public at night. We only have occasional guests who want to order meals. But the employees all work shifts. Why is Zhao Acai's work record so frequent? Are you old people bullying you?"

Got him?"

The master chef was trembling with fear, "No, no, there are several people in our back kitchen who work the night shift in turns, but Zhao Acai...he..." He hesitated, not daring to continue.

Zhou Zihe was angry, "Speak quickly!"

"In the past six months, the young lady has appreciated Zhao Acai's cooking skills and even more likes his creative dishes. The young lady often takes him out to attend gatherings of celebrities and young ladies, and Zhao Acai is responsible for all the dishes."

Xu San sneered, "Mr. Zhou, in this case, Zhao Acai really didn't get enough rest and he died of exhaustion at his job."

Song Wushuang felt something was wrong, "Zhao Acai's behavior was to take private work behind the back of the hotel. How can the hotel be blamed for his lack of rest?" She scolded the master, "Master, are you confused? His private work, you

How can it be recorded on the hotel’s attendance sheet?”

When the master heard this, he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground. He hurriedly defended, "The young lady explained that if she took Ah Cai out, it would be considered overtime and she could receive the hotel's overtime pay. Ah Cai could also get extra

Get rewarded.”

Song Wushuang was furious, "Master, you are so confused. The young lady does not work in the hotel, so she has no right to manage the hotel. How can you listen to her instructions and record them."

The master was helpless, "But she is Miss Zhou after all, how could I not listen to her?"

"Okay, even if you are concerned about the young lady's identity, why didn't you report Zhao Acai's illegal work to the superior department?"

The master couldn't hold back his words. In fact, Song Wushuang also understood the difficulty of the master. Sansheng Hotel was a family-owned hotel and he, a working man, could not afford to offend anyone.

But Song Wushuang just wanted to use the opportunity of scolding the master to make Inspector Xu San understand that the accident was a sudden death caused by Zhao Acai taking a job without permission and affecting his rest, and had nothing to do with the hotel.

Xu San looked at Song Wushuang with a cold face, "Miss An An, please don't scold the master again. I'm not stupid, so I understand what you mean. However, even if Zhao Acai takes over the work privately, it will be the young master of the Zhou family.

The young lady's job, even if the Sansheng Hotel can clear the relationship, the Zhou family can't!" He smiled, "In other words, if the Zhou family can't clear the relationship, then the Sansheng Hotel can't clear the relationship either.

Already."

Zhou Zihe Lei Ting was furious, "Invite the young lady to me immediately!"

"No need, I've been here a long time ago."

Everyone turned around and saw Zhou Ziyun coming from outside the door. She smiled and said, "Brother, are you so angry?"

Zhou Zihe gritted his teeth while holding back his anger, "You can still laugh, Zhao Acai is already dead."

"What does his death have to do with me?" Zhou Ziyun stood aside indifferently.

Inspector Xu San looked at Zhou Ziyun's arrogance and reminded him coldly, "Miss Zhou, Zhao Acai died because of you, don't you feel any guilt at all?"

"Inspector Xu, you must be working very hard on weekdays. Look, all the buttons on your sleeves have fallen off."

Zhou Ziyun's words made Song Wushuang jump with fear. How long has it been since now? Does she still dare to ridicule others for being sloppy? What good will it do to the hotel to anger Xu San? This silly girl Zhou Ziyun probably thinks that no one will use her money.

Be afraid.

Sure enough, Xu San looked at his sleeves and his face darkened.

Zhou Ziyun said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I just bought a pair of cufflinks for my brother as a birthday gift. His birthday is still early, why don't you take it first for emergencies?"

Zhou Ziyun took out a small velvet box. She came to Xu San specially and slowly opened the box. His eyes were instantly attracted to it.

Song Wushuang stood on tiptoe slightly and saw a pair of sapphire and diamond cufflinks in the box. They were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. She secretly guessed that Zhou Ziyun wanted to pay a bribe.

Xu San said seriously, "Isn't this bad?"

Zhou Ziyun took out the button and fastened it on Xu San's sleeve, "It's just a small item, not worth much."

Xu San did not refuse, and the expression on his face was no longer stern, "I have lost the button on my sleeve, which is really inconvenient, so let me borrow it and return it next time I have a chance."

Zhou Ziyun smiled and said nothing, but said, "I heard you say outside the door just now that it was because I hired Zhao Acai that he lacked rest time, which led to his sudden death. All of this is my fault. I am really unjust."

Xu San was indeed more polite, "Why don't you tell me what Miss Zhou is wronged about?"

"First of all, I just think Zhao Acai is a good cook, so when the little sisters get together, I am willing to let him cook. If he doesn't want to take the job, he can refuse it. I will just find someone else. After all, there are so many good cooks in the world. I

It’s not that he has to do it. Secondly, he was obviously tired and didn’t tell me. He took over my business in order to make money. If something goes wrong, how can he blame me as the employer? Thirdly, as an employee of Sansheng Hotel, he

, it’s not the hotel’s fault that he took the job privately against the rules. Now that he’s dead, what does it have to do with the hotel?”

After hearing this, Xu San nodded repeatedly, "I think the young lady is right. Employers and workers choose each other. There is no coercion. It is the workers themselves who failed to arrange their rest time reasonably and caused sudden death. This is their own problem."

"That's right, and my brother is kind-hearted and has already established a rule. As long as the hotel employee dies due to illness or accident, the hotel will give the employee a funeral subsidy."

"No wonder many women in Shanghai want to marry Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou is such a good character." Xu San gave a thumbs up to Zhou Zihe.

Zhou Zihe said he didn't dare to take it seriously and looked frightened and uneasy.

Song Wushuang knew that Zhou Ziyun actually bribed Inspector Xu San in this way. Zhou Zihe could not stop and reprimanded him. Refuting him in person was like a slap in the face. However, Zhou Ziyun's behavior was really unwise.

Xu San said to everyone with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou and Miss Zhou, I will close the case after I go back and sort out the clues of the case and report to my superiors."

Zhou Ziyun was overjoyed, "Then I'll trouble Inspector Xu."

She happily sent Xu San away, then turned around and looked at the two of them proudly. She was like a little girl asking for candy, innocently waiting for praise.

Song Wushuang spoke first and slapped her in the face, "Is it so difficult that in the eyes of the young lady, bribery is something worthy of praise?"

"Bribery? Why do you have to say it so harshly?" Zhou Ziyun rolled his eyes at Song Wushuang, "Giving gifts is human nature, what's the fuss about it."

"This is different."

"What is the difference?"

"We are not asking for help, but we want the truth. Those favors will not work."

"You are a harem woman, what do you know about human affairs? Didn't you hear that Inspector Xu is going back to close the case? This is the truth."

Song Wushuang had a headache and didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he turned and left.

As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen door, she heard Zhou Zihe hate the iron, and lectured Zhou Ziyun, "From today on, you are not allowed to attend any more parties!"

Zhou Ziyun still had a small temper, "Just be partial, your peace of mind, everything you say and do is right, the only one who is wrong is me!"

Song Wushuang thought, she must find a chance to change Zhou Ziyun's temper. If this continues, the fate of being killed by an employee last time will happen again!

Her steps going upstairs became heavier and heavier. She didn't know why, but she always felt that there would be a fierce battle waiting for them tomorrow.
