Chapter 395 Kitchen
Inside the food stall.
Chen Shu and Chen Chuan controlled the restaurant owner, tied him behind his back and took him to a small room behind the restaurant where he squatted in a corner.
"What do you want to do?" The restaurant owner looked horrified and his tone was trembling.
"The police are handling the case and I want to ask you something." Chen Chuan slapped the cap on the other person's head to the ground and yelled, "Be quiet!"
The restaurant owner with his bare head exposed was so frightened by Chen Chuan that he didn't dare to scream. He squatted down and stopped chewing.
This reaction was noticed by Chen Shu on the side, and it didn't seem like the behavior a kidnapper should have.
He took out the police belt from his waist and threw it to Chen Chuan, signaling him to add another layer of insurance to the boss.
"Brother Shu, have you found the kidnapper? Do you need help?"
At this time, Jiang Hai poked his head in from outside the house, first looked at the restaurant owner squatting in the corner dejectedly, and then asked Chen Shu excitedly.
Secretary Chen let out a long sigh, and suddenly complained about why he was so obsessed with it, and agreed to let a young boy who had just finished the college entrance examination intervene in this case.
If something happened later, it would be too late for him to regret it.
Forget it, after the meeting is cleared, Yan Chenxi and Jiang Hai will be sent home after they are brought to the office.
"In this case, you will not be open today, and you will come back to the team with us later for questioning. I will seal up your store for inspection."
"Officer, how many days will this be closed? A whole family just points to this place to eat!"
Ignoring the restaurant owner's complaints, Chen Shu walked out of the hut. At this time, I saw a middle-aged woman about forty years old, also wearing a kitchen skirt, waiting for the door with an anxious face.
As soon as she saw the policeman who arrested her man had just walked out of the house, she rushed over and cried: "Wow. What did my husband do? Did you arrest the wrong person? We were sleeping together during the day. Doing some small business at night is unlikely to cause any trouble."
After hearing the middle-aged woman's cry, Chen Shu's heart thumped, and he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.
He held the woman's arms and led her to the hall to sit down. When he was about to ask a few questions, he suddenly found that the hall where many people were sitting was now empty.
What if there is an accomplice?
Chen Shu's heart tightened and he shouted: "Chenxi! Yan Chenxi! Where are you?"
"Here, I'm here."
Chen Shu suddenly turned around to follow the sound and saw Yan Chenxi standing at the door of the store smiling helplessly at him.
"I was originally hesitating whether to let them keep the meal money first. What's the matter, Brother Shu?"
Chen Shu walked quickly to Yan Chenxi and looked carefully up and down before letting out a long breath: "Chenxi, are you okay?"
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Yan Chenxi was a little strange.
"Well, it's fine." Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Where are the people who just sat eating?"
"The order is gone." Yan Chenxi spread his hands and looked outside, "I can't stop it."
This group of people have a very strong sense of crisis.
Chen Shu couldn't help but feel happy. He found a rope in the store and turned around and tied up the proprietress as well.
"Officer, what's wrong with me?" The landlady finally stopped crying and raised her tied hands in front of her, wondering.
"It's okay. This is how we handle cases. If you bear with it, we will release you in a while."
It gives people some hope and basically won't cause any trouble.
Then he asked Yan Chenxi and Jiang Hai to comfort (keep an eye on) the wife of the food stall owner, while Chen Shu walked to the kitchen behind the food stall.
I was shocked as soon as I entered the door.
The hygienic condition of this kitchen is extremely bad. If the black-hearted workshops exposed in the news are a rare and special phenomenon, then the kitchen of this restaurant must be the best among them, and it is definitely below the bottom line in all aspects.
There were cobwebs and stains everywhere in the kitchen, oily garbage and debris on the floor, and pots and pans were randomly discarded in every corner. A large basin filled with unknown meat was placed in the corner. Blood spread from the edge of the basin and dripped to the ground drop by drop.
Because the operating table was full of debris, various ingredients in plastic bags were thrown directly on the ground. A fat orange cat stood on tiptoe and licked food from the plastic bag that was opened for easy access.
At this time, when the cat saw someone coming in, it turned its fat body with a "meow", and with a vigorous movement of its four hooves, it jumped out of the half-open window with some lightness.
The whole scene is disgusting.
Chen Shu walked into the kitchen and walked around, opening several cabinets and the refrigerator and looking through them. Apart from the unsatisfactory hygiene situation, he didn't find anything unusual.
Looking out of the window where the orange cat jumped out earlier, it was the smelly ditch next to Lianhua Road. It was dark at night and I couldn't see much.
When he was about to leave, Chen Shu saw Jiang Hai, who had followed him in, squatting in the corner and carefully looking at the basin of meat dripping with blood.
Chen Shu walked behind him, stretched his neck and looked inside. I haven't been to the vegetable market very often, so it's hard to tell whether this is pork or beef.
He asked casually: "Jiang Hai, what's so good about this meat?"
Jiang Hai, who was squatting, was fascinated by the sight, and shook his head slightly, with a clear confidence: "According to the normal routine in novels, this should be the flesh of the kidnapped woman.
"Hey, hey, Brother Shu, where have you been? Listen to what I have to say!"
Chen Shu returned to the storage room, picked up a rice bag from the side, sat on it, and asked the restaurant owner, "Are you left-handed?"
"Yes, I've been used to using my left hand since I was a child."
"What have you been doing these days? Simply put."
"Nothing, I buy groceries and sleep during the day. I open the door to do business at night. If you don't believe me, go ask my wife, we are together. Oh, by the way, you can check the cameras in our store to see if I am always in the store."
The owner of the food stall directly brought out the witnesses and physical evidence, which was equivalent to making a live proof. The expression on the spot was extremely normal, which caught Chen Shu, who thought he had caught the suspect, off guard.
According to the bank's video surveillance, his clothing and behavior characteristics are consistent with the owner of the food stall. Maybe his wife will be partial, but this surveillance is impossible to fake.
Chen Shu thought about it and decided to take this man and his wife back to the team for investigation.
He took out his mobile phone and asked the duty team of the special police brigade to come to help bring people. While waiting for support, Chen Shu continued to look around the food stall, hoping to find some clues.
After wandering around the store for a long time, Chen Shu did not get any useful information. When he returned to the kitchen, he found that the ground was full of water.
Following the sound, he found that someone had turned on the faucet above the basin in the corner. At this time, a thin stream of water was dripping, and it fell into the already full basin, and water kept coming out.
Logically, there were several drains on the kitchen floor. I don’t know if it was blocked or what, but the water on the ground couldn’t flow down.
Chen Shu waded through the water and turned off the faucet. He turned back and scanned the kitchen. The bad environment and unpleasant smell made him want to escape from here. But there was no clue outside the house. The only suspicious place in the whole shop was this one.
