TSBFL Chapter 71
Chapter 71.1: 中毒
[Poisoned]
“Little Boss, something happened in the shop.”
Chen Xing whose cheeks were originally bright red, because he was catched in the act by Qiu Jiu, so he suddenly startled when he heard Qiu Jiu’s words, and the blood color on his face faded cleanly. He fiercely turned his head and looked at Qiu Jiu as he eagerly asked, “What’s the situation?”
When Qiu Jiu came in, he felt a chill enveloping his body, therefore he couldn’t help but shiver just now. When he heard Chen Xing’s question at the moment, he couldn’t care less about searching for where the chill came from, and directly said to the anxious Chen Xing: “Qiu Shi said that Xiao Huang died after foaming at the mouth after eating something, and he thought that there was a problem with the shop’s food ingredients. “
Chen Xing’s face surfaced a few points of surprise, then hurriedly said, “Let’s quickly go over to take a look.”
“Hn.”
Although the shop was now open, Chen Xing was still not as busy as he imagined, usually the restaurant assistant went to prepare the ingredients first, and he went over later to command how to do it. The shop assistants are very conscientious, he is also very assured of this. At this time, he suddenly heard something bad happen at the shop. He also could not rest assured, so he hurriedly packed up a bit, rushed to the restaurant.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s eager back from behind, sighed as he looked at the blood stains on the hand towel that resembled red plums, laughed softly, and muttered in a low voice, “It turns out that rabbits will really bite when they are anxious.”
Wait until three of them rushed to the small restaurant together, they only saw Qiu Shi and the four of them all in the backyard, surrounding the cat that had supposedly died from poison.
Seeing Chen Xing and the others arrive, Qiu Wu and the three of them greeted them in unison. Qiu Shi, who was fiddling with the cat’s corpse in an attempt to figure out how the cat died, also put down what he was holding in his hand, slowly stood up and said towards them, “Little Boss, Big Boss.”
Chen Xing nodded his head towards him, and then came to the cat corpse, looking at the former lively cat just lying there with a calm abdomen, rolling its eyes and spitting out its tongue, looking like there was no sign of survival at all.
This cat was originally a stray cat, especially roaming around in this area, and then, not knowing if it was because the food in their restaurant was too delicious, or for other reasons, this cat would come to them every few days to help them catch the mice.
Seeing this, Chen Xing also felt that having a cat with strong fighting ability (high combat effectiveness) is not bad, can prevent the rats from over flooding the area, also at that time he raised this non regular pet, so specially made small dried fish for it, and instructed the people who helped in the shop, if they saw this cat coming, they would mix the small dried fish with other food for this cat, also considered to be a thank you for its help in catching rats. He just did not expect that the cat that was still alive and kicking when they met a few days ago, would turn out to be like this when he met it again today.
Chen Xing pursed his lips with some difficulty, but today’s priority was still to find out what happened. Thinking of this, he looked at everybody next to him and whispered, ”How do you know it was poisoned? And why was it poisoned in our place?”
The four people who were asked looked at each other, then Qiu Shi stepped forward and told the situation systematically and in full detail, “It was my guess like this, when this cat came in it was still alive and kicking, there was no sign of it dying at all. After we fed it according to your instructions, it became what it is today. Thinking about it this way, the problem should have been coming from our shop.”
Chen Xing was shocked in his heart and felt that Qiu Shi’s words were correct, although he felt that there should not be anything in their shop that could poison a cat to death, but the fact that the cat in front of him had died meant that something must have gone wrong here.
This caused Chen Xing to feel a bit of fear. If a cat would die if it ate it, what would happen if humans ate it? Fortunately, they had discovered it in time now, this cat was just too pitiful.
Looking at the little one who was not breathing, Chen Xing’s expression was a little unsightly, Gu Lang beside him saw this, patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, “Don’t think about it anymore, we have more important things to do now. We have to quickly find out what went wrong in the shop.”
Feeling the powerful warmth of the pat on his shoulder, Chen Xing nodded and took another look at the cat, thinking that once things were over, he would give it a proper burial, which would be considered grieve over it.
Chen Xing asked the people to wrap the cat’s body in a white cloth first, and immediately after that, he asked the cook to recall what the cat had been given to eat when it came.
This time the one who came out to speak was the helper Auntie Zhao, she looked at the people surrounding her, and then looked at the things wrapped in the white cloth, and thought with some fear that it was fortunate that she didn’t have a craving for a bite of the cat’s meal, or else she might be the one who fell to the ground right now.
“Auntie, you think carefully, what have you done when you give it food?”
Auntie Zhao heard Little Boss’s gentle voice and was instantly pulled back into her thoughts, so after answering softly, she directly said: “I saw it coming today, and as Little Boss ordered, I made it a meal with fish, eggs, carrots, and a little bit of the vegetables that were delivered today, as well as the dried fish made by little boss and left the rest out.”
This rich meal was heartbreaking to watch by Aunt Zhao, if it was in the past, she felt like she would have to grab a meal with this little beast. It was just that the food here was not bad after coming here, so she endured it by force and now she was glad that she had endured it.
After listening to Auntie Zhao’s words, Chen Xing felt that there was nothing wrong with any of these, but just to be on the safe side, he still had everyone check all these ingredients that Auntie Zhao had mentioned, and when they were done checking these, then they would check the other ones that were not used.
Just as the several people in the small restaurant were busy in a frenzy, there was a sudden clamor from outside the door, and as Chen Xing and the others heard the noise, they came out and caught a glimpse of four Yamen officials with swords worn at their waist.
