Chapter 513: Unexpected Meat

"Murder! Murder!"

A scream broke the peace in the alley . People opened their windows and looked down . They could only see a man covered in blood rush out of the shop at the entrance and fall to the ground . The rain on him was dyed red extremely quickly .

He was followed by a man holding a kitchen knife . The man looked up at the surprised faces of his neighbors, silently dropped the knife, pulled out his phone, and dialed 110 .

"Hello, 110, the police platform . "

"Someone wounded someone with a weapon . " Zhang Hao said quietly .

"What's the address?"

"No need . I will surrender myself to the head office . "

Early in the morning of the next day, there was clear weather after the rain had stopped . Chen Shi couldn’t forget the taste of the meatball noodles and went there again, only to find that the shop was closed .

It was not only him who was disappointed . Many old patrons gathered at the door . For some seniors, eating a bowl of hot Zhangji soup noodles early in the morning was a ritual not to be missed every day . They even brought teapots and alcohol bottles over .

There were people living here in the crowd who talked about what happened last night .

It turned out that a thief broke in late at night, and the boss Zhang Hao wounded the thief with a knife . As a result, he found that it was his second uncle . So, he called the police himself and they’re both still in the bureau right now .

"Then when will the store open?" This was the only concern for the diners .

Chen Shi sighed and prepared to go to another place for breakfast . At this time, several police cars stopped outside the alley . The people who came were all acquaintances . Peng Sijue, Lin Dongxue, and Xu Xiaodong were among them . Chen Shi greeted, "What a coincidence?"

"Brother Chen, how did you know about the news?!" Xu Xiaodong asked in surprise .

Lin Dongxue said, "Does he look like he knows the news? He's definitely here to eat noodles . "

"I can’t eat them anymore . " Chen Shi smiled . "They didn’t die, did they?"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Neighbor!"

"His second uncle was cut on his back . It’s not fatal . They’re both in the detention center . They only found out that the second uncle went in to poison the food when they questioned them . We’re here to obtain evidence . ”

"Poison?" Chen Shi was shocked . "Fortunately, the boss found out . Otherwise, there’d be so many people who would have died today . "

"It's not actually poison . He said it was a laxative bought from a pharmacy . "

Lin Dongxue went to knock on the door . Although the shop was closed, Zhang Hao's wife and son were still inside . They lived on the second floor . After explaining the situation, the police went in to investigate the scene .

One of the windows was broken and there were scattered fragments and blood on the ground .

All the basins of minced meat in the freezer were taken away . All of them were beef mince .

A neighbor collected the knife thrown away by Zhang Hao last night . They handed the knife over to the police . It was just an ordinary kitchen knife . According to Zhang Hao's wife, he usually put it on the shelf .

"It seems to be an ordinary event . " Lin Dongxue said . "Are you going to come and watch?"

"Um . . . " Chen Shi thought . "It decides whether I can eat noodles tomorrow, so I’ll care about it!"

"Haha, you really care about things regarding eating and drinking!"

"It’s from your blessings . Since I quit smoking, everything I eat tastes nice . . . I seem to have gained weight recently as well . "

Arriving at the bureau, Chen Shi went to visit the boss first . Zhang Hao was sitting in the detention cell, covered in a blanket given by the police . He looked a bit depressed . Chen Shi said, "I have listened to the neighbors talk about the matter . The fault lies with your second uncle, and you made the report on your own initiative, so there shouldn’t be a problem . ”

"If possible, I don't want to sue him . After all, he’s my father's younger brother . I don't want to make the family relationship so tense . " Zhang Hao said .

Chen Shi was a little curious and asked, "Why don't you want to go through the legal process?"

"Blood is thicker than water . "

Chen Shi didn't believe this reason, so he exchanged a few perfunctory words and left .

Peng Sijue asked people to buy some laxatives that were common in the market and the comparison results came out quickly . It was indeed a laxative . Also, because Zhang Farong wasn’t knowledgeable about these things, only a small amount of ground pills was placed in each pot . The dose wouldn’t have even caused people to have diarrhea .

Peng Sijue said, "Whether it constitutes a crime of dropping dangerous substances or not depends on the court's judgment . "

Lin Dongxue said, "I really hope that this old hooligan will be sentenced . He would surely be convicted of trespassing in a private house, right?"

Chen Shi pondered on it . "Can you let me go to the interrogation?"

Peng Sijue said, "You’re already a regular customer here, so what is there to be so polite about? Just let Captain Lin know . ”

"Okay . Dongxue, don’t talk later . I'll ask the questions . " Chen Shi winked . Lin Dongxue didn't know what he was acting so mysterious about .

Although he acted melodramatic, yelling while sitting in the interrogation room, Zhang Farong’s injury wasn’t a big problem . "Hurry up and ask . I still have to go to the hospital to lie down for a few days . I’m old and I might die from such an injury . ”

Chen Shi threw a pile of documents on the table . "Zhang Farong, we just checked your criminal records . Your life is really rich and exciting . You’ve sold pirated discs, organized prostitution, and fought both individually and as a group . You’re so lucky to not have been caught in in the 90s to be executed!"

Zhang Farong waved his hands and smiled . "Heroes don't mention the bravery of those days! It's a thing of the past . "

"Then, let's talk about what’s happening now . Why did you go to Zhang Hao's store to poison the food last night?"

"Officer, you’re making it sound so serious . It wasn't poisoning . I just put some laxatives in so that he couldn’t run his business the next day . It wouldn’t kill anyone . ”

"Have a little common sense, okay? Do you know there is a crime in the criminal law called the crime of spreading dangerous substances? And the customers in that old store are mostly elderly people . If the dose wasn’t done well, it could have caused a fatality . Can you bear those consequences?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Farong's face went pale . "Is it so serious? I . . . Didn’t I not succeed? Look, I’m already like this . I’ve already received my karma . Can you let me go?"

"Unsuccessful?" Chen Shi chuckled a bit . "There’s another crime . You broke into a private dwelling!”

"I didn't steal anything . I just put some laxatives in . . . And it was just an attempt!"

"Don't talk around the point! You’re so old but you’re still fooling around, these two crimes are enough for you to go to jail . At your age, with that body, when you go in, that will probably be your graveyard!"

Zhang Farong was frightened and his whole body broke out in cold sweat . He looked as if he was about to cry . "Government, pity me . I’m so old and the whole family is relying on my pension!"

Lin Dongxue glanced at Chen Shi, wondering why he deliberately frightened Zhang Farong .

"It depends on your own attitude!" Chen Shi loosened his tone . "Be honest . Maybe there’s a chance we can help you . "

Zhang Farong swallowed and asked, "Explain . . . What?"

"Motive!"

Zhang Farong bowed his head in contemplation, and suddenly said, "You should go for a test . The meat is definitely not beef . "

"What is it?"

"Unexpected meat!" Zhang Farong nodded to imply it was the truth .
