I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

"It is possible. My colleague should have taken the fish they ordered back for inspection. I believe the results will be out soon."

"Even if there is nothing wrong with the fish, the news has already spread. It costs nothing to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. Our business will never be as good as it is now."

"Have faith. If this matter has nothing to do with your store, our police station will definitely help explain it clearly."

"thank you all."

After finishing the statement at the police station, Ji Xiaoxi went back to wait for news.

Ling Zhu, Song Hong and others had been waiting for her in the store.

They had long regarded Ji Xiaoxi as their backbone, and whenever something happened, they would always wait for her to speak first.

"Xiaoxi, what's wrong?" Ling Zhu asked.

"The family is now in the hospital, and the examination results show that they have food poisoning. The police station asked us to wait for notification.

I know we were wronged in this matter, but I just can't figure out what went wrong.

And what about the fish in Linxi Village?"

"Why don't we go take a look together?" Song Hong said, "The biggest contradiction in this matter is this fish!"

"What you said makes sense. Let's go check out the fish pond first."

"Boss, actually I noticed a strange phenomenon at that time." Dahei suddenly spoke.

"What's the problem?" Ji Xiaoxi asked immediately.

"When the couple came with their children to eat, I happened to be carrying a pile of bowls and walked past them. I saw them drinking some golden liquid before eating, which seemed to be..."

Dahei thought about it and suddenly said, "Yes, it seems to be honey. They ate several spoonfuls of honey and then asked Xiaosi to pour them a lot of water to drink."

"Yes, yes, that's true. They drank a lot of water." Xiao Si said, "I thought they came from far away and were so thirsty.

I was worried that they would be full after drinking the water and would not order any food.

Unexpectedly, they later ordered a fish and a plate of vegetables.”

"Honey?" Ji Xiaoxi supported her chin with her hand. Why should she drink honey first when coming to the restaurant?

Could it be that the child wants to eat something sweet?

That doesn’t make sense. Then why do parents eat it too?

And I have to drink so much water. I am already full. Why do I need to order fish and vegetables? Although their steamed crucian carp is not very big, but...

and many more!

Crucian carp?

Eating honey and crucian carp will cause food poisoning!

According to the couple's description, they came here directly without even drinking water that morning.

That is, drink honey on an empty stomach, so that the stomach and intestines can absorb the honey more fully, and add crucian carp, the reaction will be greater.

There is nothing wrong with a small amount of honey and crucian carp.

But the child was so skinny, he must have been malnourished and had a weak stomach. Eating these mutually exclusive foods led to food poisoning and fainting.

The same goes for that couple, their health must have been poor.

"They did it on purpose!" Ji Xiaoxi concluded, "Eating honey and crucian carp together will cause a poisoning reaction."

"They really did it on purpose!" Ling Zhu said, "I saw that they looked honest, but I didn't expect that they were really trying to extort money. Let's go and tell the police."

"We have no evidence. It's useless for Dahei to say it alone, unless we can find someone else who saw that they ate honey before the meal."

"I'll go look for that!" Xiao Si said, "I have a good memory. I remember a few people who ate here at the time."

"Okay, this task is given to you, just work hard." Ji Xiaoxi nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Xiao Si said, turned around and walked out.

"Then let's go to Linxi Village. I always feel that the fish in Linxi Village may have something to do with us." Ji Xiaoxi said.

"Okay." Ling Zhu and others nodded.

When the few people arrived at Linxi Village, the villagers were also in a panic. There was a problem with the fish pond. This was a major event concerning the entire village and was directly linked to the interests of the villagers.

A villager with experience in fish farming squatted by the fish pond, smoking a pipe and saying, "I suspect our fish were drugged.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to die at once."

"But we don't have any enemies in our village, so why would someone come to the village and poison us?"

"I just can't figure it out. Which bastard did this?"

"Could it be that the neighboring village is jealous of our village's earnings, so they come here to poison us?"

"The captain has already questioned them, and they have sworn that it was not them who did it."

"Is it because old man Lin is getting old and confused and fed the fish the wrong food and killed them all?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Old Man Lin has been managing the fish pond diligently for so long. How could he make such a mistake?"

"Then what's going on? There is no hatred or grudge. Who wants to harm our village?"

"Let's wait for the results from the police station. They have taken the dead fish back for examination."

Ji Xiaoxi stood on the shore, looking at the big and small fish floating up from the pond with their bellies turned upside down. It seemed that the villagers had not come to clean up the scene yet. The team leader probably asked them not to move.

She walked over and found the manager of the fish pond, Old Man Lin, and asked him about the situation.

"Grandpa Lin, wasn't the fish you delivered early this morning still alive and kicking?

Why has the fish pond become like this now? "

Old Man Lin took a puff of his cigarette and was also very worried. "I don't know what happened. It was too hot at noon today. I went back to have lunch early and took a nap for dozens of minutes. When I came back, I saw that these fish had become like this."

"Have there been any strangers in the village recently?"

"Stranger?" Old Man Lin thought for a moment, "I don't know about the sale, it's not my responsibility, but the number of fish needed has indeed increased."

The increase in fish orders indicates that more people are interested in the fish from Linxi Village.

Ordinary people don’t buy fish every day, only those who own a shop do.

Restaurant!

She got the information and went to the captain's house again.

"Recently, a new customer has found us. He also runs a restaurant." The captain took out the account book and pointed to the information on it to show her, "Look, it's the Jiumei Restaurant."

"Jiu Mei Restaurant!" Song Hong said, "Xiao Xi, how did they know that there are fish for sale here?"

"You know them too?" said the captain.

"Well, they are a bit competitive with us." Ji Xiaoxi asked, "Uncle Zhang, did the people from Jiumei Restaurant do anything strange when they came to buy fish?"

The captain took a sip of water, thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know if it’s strange, but every time they come, they have to go fishing themselves.

They want a lot and don’t bargain, so we usually just let them do what they want.”

"Do you have to catch the fish yourself every time you come to buy fish?" Ji Xiaoxi asked.

"correct."
