Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 177: Fake Alcohol Harms People (1)

"That's not right." Kailin said again, "Even if that's the case, why are we fine? I was obviously drunk at the time."

Li Xueqi lowered her hands and explained, "It's not difficult to explain. Don't forget that you have my certificate on you. So when the poisonous alcohol entered your body, it was naturally metabolized by the elemental power in the certificate."

"Is that so? Then what should we do now? The four of us agreed in Xuanyue to find a way back together, but now..." Kailin became anxious again, then looked at Yaohui and continued to ask, "Yaohui, you are the guardians, don't you have any solution?"

"Sorry, we..." At this moment, the three of them were silent.

In any case, it is really difficult to resurrect a dead person, but there is indeed something that needs to be dealt with as a priority right now.

Thinking of this, Yaohui immediately nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I will find a way, but the most urgent thing now is to catch the fake wine dealer. After something like this, they must not get away with it."

"Yeah, that's true." Tianlang nodded.

"What about Mo Yan? We can't just leave him here, right?" Karen wiped her tears and then looked at Mo Yan lying on the bed and asked.

Yao Hui thought for a moment, then looked at Li Xueqi: "Sister Xueqi, I'm going to trouble you here. Please do your best to maintain his appearance as it is."

Li Xueqi nodded: "Yes, I will."

So, under Yaohui's leadership, everyone except Li Xueqi followed him to the police station on the back street of the hotel. After briefly explaining their identities and what had happened, the police chief Xuan Zimo led his men to the wine cellar with everyone else.

A handsome young man in a military-style uniform kept knocking on the door. But the door was closed and there was no movement from inside.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!

Finally, after a while, there was movement from inside the house.

"Come here, who is it? Don't you know that our wine cellar is closed at this time?" the person in the room shouted.

"Open the door, Linhui Public Security!" the young man said seriously, which stunned everyone in the room.

"Public...Public Security? What do you want from us? We are operating legally." The man in the house's voice was obviously a little panicked, which confirmed everyone's speculation.

"I don't care whether you admit to breaking the law or not. Now someone has reported illegal activities in your store. Open the door immediately, or don't blame us for using force!"

"Illegal? How is that possible? We are legitimate businessmen, and this is a time-honored brand. Did you check the wrong thing?" The person in the room continued to make excuses.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Yaohui sighed angrily: "All of you get out of the way."

He came in front of everyone with his fists clenched. Seeing him like this, everyone understood what he wanted to do.

The man was stunned and immediately advised: "Master Yaohui, what you are doing is against our rules."

"Rules? What rules are we talking about when the person is gone? Don't worry, if anything happens, I will shoulder the responsibility." Yaohui said angrily with disdain.

Then he opened his palm, and while gasping for breath, he stabbed a knife into the center of the wooden door. At this moment, half of his arm was almost completely inserted into the door. At the same time, a scream was heard from inside the house.

"Wow!"

After Yaohui forcibly pried open the door, he saw a man dressed as an employee sitting on the ground. Seeing the other party standing in front of the door with a large group of people, he immediately stood up and walked respectfully to the man.

"Oh, isn't this Commander Xuan? What brings you here?" he said, rubbing his hands.

Xuan Zimo didn't give the man a good look. He just held a slightly carved iron rod and pressed it directly on the man's shoulder and said, "Don't give me that. These people said they bought two jugs of wine from your store yesterday, but this morning they found their friend lying in the hotel room due to alcohol poisoning."

"Alcohol poisoning? That doesn't mean there's something wrong with our wine. Maybe your companions can't hold their liquor and drank too much. This kind of situation is very common here. You can't accuse us wrongly." The man was stunned, then explained hesitantly.

Xuan Zimo nodded. "Yes, we thought so at first, but our coroner discovered that the wine flask you sold to this customer contained low-quality alcohol, also known as fake wine. And Linhui strictly prohibits the sale of fake wine. You know that, don't you?"

"Fake...fake wine? Officer Xuan, this is unfair! Everyone knows that our wine cellar is a time-honored brand here. We've been here for hundreds of years. If something was going to go wrong, it should have happened a long time ago. Why did it have to happen now? This is definitely slander!"

"Huh? Slander? Are you saying I wronged you?" Kailin said angrily, hands on her hips. "I told you that your companion was unconscious after drinking your fake wine, and you're coming to us to accuse you? Okay, now do you dare let us in and search!"

"You! How dare you, this little girl, come here and act so wild?" The man pointed at Karen and said angrily.

Xuan Zimo: "She is the victim."

Kailin nodded. "That's right. I bought two cans of beer from you yesterday evening, and then something happened to our companion that night!"

"Nonsense, you said you bought the wine from us, why have I never seen you before?" At this time, a man suddenly walked out of the store. Judging from the man's mature face and clothes, he was probably the owner of this place.

"Shopkeeper Yao, so you are here." Xuan Zimo said.

"Yes, Commander Xuan, we were all busy brewing wine until very late yesterday. I was sleeping just now and heard a noise, so I woke up." Shopkeeper Yao looked at the broken door and Kailin who was complaining. "I heard from this young lady that you bought the wine from us yesterday. Okay, then show me the evidence. You can't just talk nonsense without evidence."

"Okay, you want evidence, right? This wine jar is the evidence!" Kailin said as she looked at Zixuan and Zhao Heng. They were each holding a jar with the name of the shop clearly engraved on it. "Your shop's name is written on these two jars. You won't recognize it, will you?"

Shopkeeper Yao snorted coldly and replied, "So what? What can two jars really mean? Can't someone fill my jars with wine and sell it to you?"

"But I bought it from you last night, you can't deny it!" Karen continued to argue.

"Roar? Really? Then who can testify? We were brewing wine last night, but no one saw you come here. Or did you steal the wine from us? Because your companions had problems drinking, you poured fake wine to frame us?"

"Huh? I framed you? Ridiculous. It was you who sold fake liquor and killed our companion, and now you're turning the tables and saying it's like you're the victim."

"enough!"
