At least during the investigation of this restaurant, everyone discovered that the cause of death of the delivery rider who died in a car accident was actually strange.
Although from the perspective of the traffic police surveillance video, it was because he was in a hurry to deliver food and forced the truck to cross the road before it had fully entered the lane, which ultimately led to the accident.
Delivery riders also paid the price with their lives.
However, the focus of everyone's subsequent attention was on another delivery boy.
It was precisely because another takeaway boy took the order from the takeaway boy who died in a car accident and contacted the restaurant owner to make a new takeout and delivered it to the customer that everyone talked about it.
Coupled with media reports, the kind-hearted delivery boy suddenly became synonymous with warmth in this cold winter.
But from the surveillance video, Gu Chen found out the truth behind the death of the delivery boy, which was a car accident caused by poisoning.
But who is the murderer now? The search seems to be narrowing.
Gu Chen glanced at the fat owner of the restaurant and asked, "Where is your chef? Can you ask him to come out?"
"No problem." In order to get rid of the suspicion of his own restaurant, the current fat restaurant owner responded to Gu Chen's requests.
He quickly walked to the door of the kitchen in person, knocked on the door, and said, "Thank you, Master, please come out."
"Okay." A fat man who was helping wash vegetables in the kitchen heard his boss calling him, so he immediately put down his work, wiped his water-stained hands on his apron, and walked directly to the cashier.
Seeing several policemen surrounding here, Master Xie suddenly became stunned and asked the boss weakly: "Boss, what's going on?"
"The takeaway we made for Ms. Zhou yesterday was highly poisonous." The fat boss leaned into Master Xie's ear and whispered.
"Impossible." After hearing the boss's words, Master Xie shrank back and retorted: "How is this possible? How could the food I cook be poisonous?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down." Afraid of being overheard, the fat boss quickly reminded him.
But Master Xie glanced at the policemen around him and seemed to feel that these policemen were coming to find him, so he quickly clarified to the fat boss in a low voice: "I said boss, I really didn't poison the food. What do you think I am doing?"
?”
"I didn't say it was you." The fat owner of the restaurant couldn't explain clearly at the moment, so he quickly looked at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade policeman, he is the chef of our restaurant. If you have anything to ask, just ask him."
"Okay." Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, showed the surveillance screenshots of the four delivery boys in front of him, and asked, "Do you know these people?"
"I know them. They are delivery people. These people often come to the store to pick up orders."
"Then Ms. Zhou Xiwen's order yesterday was made by you yourself?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Zhou Xiwen?" Master Xie frowned, scratching his cheek and thinking.
The fat boss was afraid that he would be confused at this time, so he quickly reminded: "I put every order note on you. What Zhou Xiwen asked for last night was green pepper shredded pork rice bowl. Wasn't it because the last delivery boy was in a car accident?
Did it overturn it? Later, another delivery rider called me and asked us to make a new one, remember?"
"Oh, so it's that order? Boss, I knew it as soon as you said that." After hearing what the fat boss of the restaurant said, Master Xie nodded silently, and then remembered:
"That's right, I made Zhou Xiwen's order, and I also made the subsequent supplementary order."
"Did you take over the whole process?" Officer Wang asked.
Realizing that the fat boss had said that the dishes contained highly toxic substances, Master Xie quickly waved his hand and took the initiative to clarify: "That's unfair. This matter really has nothing to do with me."
"As I said, we are still investigating this matter. You just need to explain the situation clearly." Lu Weiwei also said angrily.
I feel like this chef is quite timid.
After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Master Xie tried to calm down and said slowly: "It's really me who does all the cooking, but I didn't handle the packaging or anything else, it's all these delivery riders who are in a hurry.
They helped with the operation.”
"The delivery rider helps you pack?" Gu Chen expressed curiosity.
Master Xie nodded and said, "Yes, we usually put the prepared dishes directly into take-out boxes. As for packaging, I rarely do it."
“Firstly, there is too much work on hand, and secondly, those riders who are in a hurry have to hold the packaging bags in their hands.”
"As soon as our dishes were put on the box, they immediately packaged them skillfully. This has long been an unwritten rule in our store, and everyone is not surprised."
"Then when you pour the dishes into the packaging box, is the delivery rider who was involved in the accident responsible for packaging?" Gu Chen asked.
"Uh... Well, it seems so. Anyway, it was quite busy at the time, and there was a lot of noise in the kitchen. I don't know what the situation was at that time, but I remember that Xiao Zhao seemed to be beside him."
"Xiao Zhao?" Gu Chen frowned.
"Yes, it's Xiao Zhao who called the boss to ask the boss to re-prepare the meal. He delivered the meal to the colleague who had the car accident. The TV station also interviewed him."
"Are you sure he only has Xiao Zhao next to him?" The fat owner of the restaurant quickly asked for confirmation, fearing that he might be the wrong suspect.
Master Xie nodded silently: "It shouldn't be wrong. When you said this, I seemed to remember it again. Yes, it was Xiao Zhao who packed up the order and left. Then Xiao Liao died in a car accident.
Well, he looks for his orders everywhere."
"They kept asking me at that time, but I was too busy making other orders so I didn't pay much attention to it."
"In addition, the kitchen was noisy, so I asked him to look for it on his own. Not long after, Xiao Zhao ran back and said that he had taken the wrong order, and that the portion I was planning to fry was his.
Order."
"Then what?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Then? Then Xiao Liao took his order and ran out of the kitchen. Then, Xiao Zhao also got his order."
"Later, the boss came to the kitchen again and said that Xiao Liao had a car accident and was gone. Xiao Zhao asked us to make a new takeaway and he came to pick it up."
"So, from the time you made that green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl to the packaging process, was it delayed because Xiao Zhao mistakenly took the order?" Gu Chen looked up at Master Xie and asked him.
Master Xie nodded silently: "That's right. I'm extremely busy with the cooking process from beginning to end. Even if you poison me, I don't have time to poison you."
"Ah, who told you to poison you? Lao Xie, could you please stop using random metaphors?" It felt like Lao Xie was speaking without restraint, and the fat owner of the restaurant quickly stopped him.
Master Xie looked aggrieved and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
However, at this time, Gu Chen and everyone looked at each other in confusion, as if they all noticed something fishy.
Lu Weiwei quickly asked Master Xie: "As for Xiao Zhao who mistakenly took the takeout order, how much time did he have between taking the takeout and returning it?"
"Uh..." Master Xie scratched his head and thought, and said calmly: "I don't know exactly how long it will take, but Xiao Liao has been here for a long time looking for his order, so it should take three or four minutes anyway?"
"Three or four minutes?" Gu Chen heard this and nodded silently: "Three or four minutes is enough for Xiao Zhao to complete the poisoning operation."
Glancing at the fat owner of the restaurant, Gu Chen added: "I remember, Xiao Zhao who took the order by mistake, and Xiao Liao who died in a car accident. They almost came out of the back kitchen one after the other, without any separation between them.
Three or four minutes, one minute at most."
"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Master Xie seemed to think of something again, so he hurriedly said: "Xiao Zhao took the wrong order from Xiao Liao. After returning it to him, I also took Xiao Zhao's order from behind.
When it's ready within one minute, Xiao Zhao will go out with his order, and he should be less than a minute away from Xiao Liao."
"Because after all, Xiao Liao spent a few minutes looking for a takeout order from me, and during these few minutes, I also prepared Xiao Zhao's share."
"That's right." After hearing Master Xie's words, Gu Chen finally found the flaw and quickly asked: "Do you, the chef, have any other exits?"
"Yes, there is one. If the police comrades want to see it, I will take you there."
The fat owner of the restaurant was afraid that the police investigation would be unfavorable at this moment, so he took the initiative to lead everyone directly to the back kitchen of the restaurant.
At this moment, several vegetable washers in the kitchen were busy with their work. When they saw the police arriving, they only looked up for a few times and then continued busy with their work.
"That's it." The fat owner of the restaurant pointed directly to a small door on the right.
Gu Chen walked a few steps and asked again: "After Xiao Zhao took the wrong order from Xiao Liao, which direction did he go out from? Is it the passage to the restaurant lobby on the left? Or the back door on the right?"
"It should be the passage on the left leading to the restaurant lobby." Seeing Gu Chen ask, Master Xie quickly explained: "Because they, the delivery riders, park their cars at the entrance of the restaurant and generally don't go to the back door."
"And when Xiao Zhao sent back the takeout he took by mistake, he also came from the lobby on the left. I remember this very clearly."
"That's strange." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said with a frown: "If Xiao Zhao mistakenly took the takeout and returned it three or four minutes later, then he should have walked out of the passage between the kitchen and the lobby.
"
"Logically speaking, the surveillance camera above the cashier in your store can also record it, but the strange thing is that after Xiao Zhao entered the kitchen, until he left the kitchen, he was still in line one minute after Xiao Liao left the kitchen.
"
"Then doesn't this mean that Xiao Zhao, who got the wrong takeout, never left the kitchen in the first place?"
"ah?"
After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, everyone suddenly realized.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao's whereabouts became a new clue.
Gu Chen walked around the back kitchen and suddenly discovered that there was a small cold storage room in the corner of the back kitchen, which was used to store vegetables and meat in the restaurant.
However, due to the large accumulation of goods, it is difficult for ordinary people to have space to enter.
Seeing that Gu Chen was so fascinated by the small cold storage, the fat boss quickly stepped forward and explained: "I usually use this small cold storage to store goods."
"So what did this small cold storage look like yesterday? Was it piled up like this?" Gu Chen asked.
Before the fat owner of the restaurant could explain, Master Xie stepped forward and said, "The goods that just came in yesterday are even more piled inside. People can't get in at all. They can only stand at the door and reach for the goods."
"That's not right." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "If Xiao Zhao who mistakenly took out the takeout never left the kitchen, then he must have been hiding somewhere in the kitchen for the past three or four minutes to poison him.
And you can’t let people in the restaurant see it.”
"Only in this way can he meet the conditions for poisoning and the possibility of committing a crime can be established."
After hearing what Gu Chen said, the fat owner of the restaurant immediately said: "By the way, the corridor where we just came in is the passage between the restaurant lobby and the back kitchen. There is a small toilet on the side."
"Small toilet?" Lu Weiwei turned around and asked curiously: "Then why didn't we find the door when we came in just now?"
"There is a door. Most outsiders may not be able to find it. You will know if you come with me."
It felt like these police officers didn't know the structure of their restaurant very well, so the fat owner of the restaurant took everyone directly to the passage between the kitchen and the restaurant lobby.
He stretched out his hand and pushed against the wall. Suddenly, a wooden door integrated with the wall was pushed open.
After that, the fat owner of the restaurant reached out and touched it, and the light came on.
A simple small toilet suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the toilet used in our back kitchen. The employees in the back kitchen use this toilet when going to the toilet. It even has an exhaust system."
Having said this, the fat owner of the restaurant directly pressed another switch.
Suddenly, the exhaust system started to activate.
"No wonder." Seeing this simple toilet, Lu Weiwei couldn't help complaining: "No wonder I didn't see the door just now. Boss, the door and wall decoration of your toilet are the same color. If it weren't for one of you, I wouldn't have found it.
?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I just can't be found by outsiders." The fat owner of the restaurant also said the truth: "Because the customers who ate before often asked me where the toilet is?
And pedestrians passing by outside sometimes come to borrow the toilet."
"Every time I go back and forth, I treat this as a public toilet, which makes the toilet dirty. So I simply renovated this small toilet, just because I don't want outsiders to borrow the toilet."
"If they want to go to the toilet, I will tell them that there is a public toilet about 200 meters to the right."
"So that's it?" Lu Weiwei suddenly realized after hearing what the fat owner of the restaurant said: "So, those delivery riders who often come to the kitchen to pack and pick up their own meals, do they also know this secret?"
"I know." Master Xie nodded silently and admitted proactively: "Because they often come to the kitchen to help, and sometimes we are too busy, and they will even cook by themselves, so occasionally they ask us to borrow a toilet, and we also do it.
No comment."
Gu Chen frowned and looked around at the structure of the toilet.
At this moment, a woman washing vegetables happened to pass by.
Seeing everyone gathered here, he asked out of curiosity: "Boss, do you want to go to the toilet?"
"No." The fat owner of the restaurant said.
"Why don't you please give way? I want to go to the toilet," the vegetable-washing lady said again.
When everyone heard this, they immediately gave up their seats.
However, just when the vegetable-washing lady was about to walk into the toilet, Gu Chen suddenly asked: "Excuse me, do you know the delivery person Xiao Zhao? He is the rider who helped the rider who died in a car accident yesterday to make up for the delivery."
"Xiao Zhao? We know him. Didn't he even appear on the TV station for interviews?" When he heard it was Xiao Zhao, the vegetable-washing aunt nodded directly.
"Then last night, when he took the order by mistake and went out, did you see him go to the toilet?" Gu Chen quickly asked again.
The vegetable-washing aunt was stunned, and she thought carefully for a few seconds, and then said: "Yes, he has gone to the toilet."
"At that time, I also wanted to go to the toilet, but Xiao Zhao suddenly rushed over from behind, saying that he was in a hurry and asked him to go first."
"I saw him rushing into the toilet with takeout in his hand, and I said, don't you think it's disgusting to go to the bathroom with takeout?"
"He said it was okay. The packaging bag was fastened anyway, so it wouldn't affect it."
After a pause, the dishwashing aunt continued: "Anyway, I'm quite disgusted with carrying other people's takeaways, so I ran to the toilet to get the big one. I said that I could hold it for him, but Xiao Zhao refused, so
I had no choice but to run back and wash the vegetables."
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
It seems that this last doubt has been solved.
Gu Chen and everyone looked at each other in confusion, and seemed to have understood why Xiao Zhao took Xiao Liao's order in advance, but did not run out of the restaurant lobby, and ended up leaving the store about a minute later than Xiao Liao.
The reason is very simple. Xiao Zhao took Xiao Liao's takeaway and hid in the toilet.
It seems that only Xiao Zhao himself knows what he did in the toilet.
Seeing that everyone only communicated with their eyes, they stood motionless.
The dishwashing aunt who wanted to go to the toilet suddenly said with an embarrassed look on her face: "What? Are you going to go to the toilet or not? If you don't want to go to the toilet, please don't hang around here, okay? It's so embarrassing."
"oh oh."
After everyone reacted, they gave way to the passage.
The fat owner of the restaurant also waved his hand and suggested: "How about we go out and talk? Go to the front desk?"
"Let's go." Gu Chen responded and walked out of the passage first.
At this moment, everyone seems to have a clear mind.
The truth seems to be close at hand.
"Eh? You guys think, the person who poisoned this is Xiao Zhao, right?" It feels like Gu Chen has sorted out the clues clearly, and the fat owner of the restaurant also directly expressed everyone's thoughts.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that Xiao Zhao is a poisoner."
"So next, we will investigate Xiao Zhao based on the actual situation."
Glancing at the shop owner and Master Xie, Gu Chen suddenly warned: "So, please keep your mouths shut, and the vegetable washers in the kitchen, and ask them not to talk nonsense. It's best not to talk about this matter."
Tell Xiao Zhao in advance."
"Don't worry, comrade police. If you don't find the real poisoner, then I won't be able to work in this restaurant. I won't be able to work anymore. All the restaurant employees will lose their jobs."
"I naturally know which one is more serious."
As soon as the fat owner of the restaurant finished speaking, He Junchao's phone came in again.
