A powerful country in scientific research

"I heard that something happened at the state-owned hotel yesterday. Was it not you?" Wei Yihang continued to ask.

Hearing Wei Yihang's question, Wu Hongying's face turned pale. She looked around in panic, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered, "Not very good, something happened, and it ended before I finished eating."

Wei Yihang was surprised when he saw Wu Hongying's expression. "What's the matter?"

Wu Hongying paused, not knowing how to tell Wei Yihang for a moment, so she could only perfunctorily say, "I'll tell you later when there are fewer people around."

The two walked forward together until they reached a small path where few people walked. Then Wu Hongying and Wei Yihang talked about yesterday's party.

Just now, she had been struggling in her heart for a long time whether to tell Wei Yihang about what happened yesterday. Ranran said that she couldn't tell anyone, but Wei Yihang was her boyfriend, and the fact that he asked her just now meant that he already knew a lot. It was only a matter of time before he knew everything, so it should be okay to tell him now.

After listening to what Wu Hongying said, Wei Yihang's face was full of shock.

"So it was you two who met. Hongying, are you okay?" After saying that, he looked at Wu Hongying with heartache.

Wu Hongying forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm standing right in front of you."

Wei Yihang patted Wu Hongying's back comfortingly, "Where are your classmates? Are they okay?"

Wu Hongying replied: "It's all fine. We found it early, so no one ate it."

Wei Yihang paused, forced a smile, and said, "Hongying, according to what you said, your classmate, Su Ran, is really amazing. She knew there was something wrong with the dish before she even ate it."

Wu Hongying was also very happy to hear her good friend being praised.

"Yeah, of course, she's really amazing."

Wei Yihang was a little dissatisfied when he saw that Wu Hongying focused all her attention on the compliment. He continued, "Is the dish poisoned? Is it because it tastes wrong? Or is there some other reason why she could tell it at a glance? How did she do that? I want to learn from her."

There was sincerity mixed with curiosity in his tone.

After hearing Wei Yihang's words, Wu Hongying really started to think.

Her brain was working fast, thinking about some details after the dishes were served yesterday, and then she realized that she didn't know how Ranran found out.

Wu Hongying laughed dryly.

"Well...actually I don't know either...she asked as soon as she smelled it."

Wu Hongying said somewhat embarrassedly.

Hearing her words, Wei Yihang's lowered eyes flickered, and then he curled his lips in self-mockery. He had underestimated the enemy.

He raised his eyes and looked at Wu Hongying again, his eyes filled with smile again.

"Then she is really amazing. She can smell it just by smelling it."

Wu Hongying smiled and nodded, "Yes, Ranran is indeed amazing."

Wei Yihang smiled faintly, and the two continued walking towards Wu Hongying's home.

He looked ahead, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked, "This is really strange, are you sure someone poisoned us? We are all ordinary people, who would have nothing better to do than poison ordinary people?"

Wu Hongying sighed, "It's confirmed. The police have tested it. It's very toxic. Among all the dishes yesterday, only that one was poisonous. It was obviously aimed at us."

Wei Yihang had a frightened expression on his face. “Well, luckily you found out in advance.”

"It wasn't us, it was Ranran. Fortunately, she found out, otherwise we might have all been infected now." Wu Hongying said with lingering fear.

Wei Yihang seemed to agree with her. "Yes, let's go and thank her when we have time. After all, she saved your life."

Wu Hongying nodded, "Yes, we should indeed thank Ranran."

......

Police station.

After a day and a night, Wang Zhifeng interrogated each person carefully and searched their homes one by one, and finally identified the person who poisoned them.

He went to the interrogation room with Zhao Qiang.

In the interrogation room, Wang Zhifeng looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the chair with an indifferent expression. He asked directly: "Tell me, what benefits did they give you to poison you? Money? Or promises? Or something else?"

The kitchen helper shook his head, "I didn't poison it. I don't know what you are talking about."

Seeing that he was still struggling, Wang Zhifeng couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically: "Don't pretend, we just found the remaining poison in your house, and after testing, it is exactly the same as the one added to the dish. You have no chance."

Kitchen helper Li Jinhai is 25 years old and is from a county town under Hai City. Master Li, a chef at a state-owned restaurant, is Li Jinhai's uncle. He was able to work as a kitchen helper here entirely because of his uncle's relationship.

He was also the only person besides the chef who had direct access to the dish, so Zhao Qiang and his team focused on investigating him, and unexpectedly they actually found something.

"That's not mine. Someone must have framed me. I have no reason to poison them." Li Jinhai defended loudly.

Although his voice was very loud, the slight tremor in his tone and his pale face revealed his guilt and fear.

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Wang Zhifeng tried to persuade him, "Do you think your excuses are still useful? The evidence is already before us. You might as well confess now. You are not the principal offender. If you can confess in advance, the organization may reduce your sentence."

Li Jinhai's face turned pale. Even though he was unwilling, he had to agree that what the police officer said made sense.

Li Jinhai put his hands on the table, covered his face and said in despair: "I didn't mean it, she was threatening me." There was a hint of tears in his voice.

Wang Zhifeng frowned deeply and stared at Li Jinhai, trying to get more information from him.

"Ta? Male or female, how many people?" Wang Zhifeng asked.

Li Jinhai didn't say anything. He seemed to be trying to sort out his emotions. He waited for a long time before answering in a trembling voice, "A young woman said that if I didn't do what she said, she would kill my family. I didn't want that."

Wang Zhifeng frowned. He was surprised that a young woman could threaten Li Jinhai. He asked in disbelief, "Do you believe what she said?"

"She has a gun, how can I not believe it? Moreover, she knows all the information about my family members, and my son is still in her hands. I dare not gamble." Li Jinhai said somewhat collapsed, and he couldn't help thinking of what the woman said when she took his son away. He looked at Wang Zhifeng and begged: "Comrade Public Security, it's okay if you arrest me, it's okay if I go to jail, it's okay if I get shot, you have to save my son, he is so young, he can't be in trouble, you must save him."

Wang Zhifeng saw that he was a little emotional, so he was silent for a moment. After he calmed down, he continued to ask: "What did she tell you? When did she take the child away?"

Li Jinhai is guilty of poisoning, but his child is indeed innocent. As people's police, finding the child is what they should and must do.
