Chapter 328 Addictive Poison
Chapter 328 Addictive Poison
Lu Beichen did not question his wife's words. He took the car keys from Du Chenyang and left the private room without stopping.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
"I'll talk to the police after they arrive. First, arrest all the people and don't let any of them go."
Jiang Yan followed Lu Beichen out of the box. Du Chenyang gritted his teeth and finally decided to trust Fu Ling. After all, it was an indisputable fact that his sense of taste had changed in such a short time.
Fu Ling prepared some detoxifying water, and when she came out of the private room, the boss, the chef, and the waiter were all knocked to the ground, wailing incessantly.
The chef was a burly man, spewing foul language non-stop: "Fuck you! Do you know who I am? Dare you touch me! Believe it or not, I'll get someone to kill you!"
The guests were so frightened that they didn't know whether to walk or sit. They were fine just now, why did they suddenly attack?
Fu Ling said to the diners, "Don't panic, we're not bad people. There's something wrong with this restaurant. We've already called the police. Don't leave yet. The police will get to the bottom of it."
When the boss heard the police were called, he panicked, but remained calm on the outside: "Dear customers, have you misunderstood? We are running an honest business and have not offended you. What are you doing?"
Fu Ling sneered, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Boss, you're really capable. You made such a disgusting dish, but people can't stop eating it. Are you still trying to play dumb now? "
One of the customers was brave enough to say, "What's so disgusting about it? I eat this dish every day, it tastes great! It makes me feel refreshed after eating it."
Fu Ling turned his gaze to the customer who was speaking. He was a thin, pale young man with sunken eyes. It was obvious that he had been eating here for a long time and had become addicted. "Excuse me, how long have you been eating here?"
"About four months ago. I've been coming here every day lately, and the smell hasn't changed. Did you make a mistake?"
"Everyone, please sit down first. As for the food here, don't eat it yet. When the police arrive, you will naturally know what is going on."
The boss was panicking. He was desperately trying to get out of this situation, so he set his sights on Du Chenyang. "Brother Du, you come to my place every Sunday for dinner, and I always greet you with a smile. I haven't offended you, have I? Why are you using your friends to mess with me?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he did, Du Chenyang got angry. If Fu Ling hadn't stumbled upon him this time, who knows what would have happened to him. "How dare you say that? What did you do to the dish? Why does this dish, which is supposed to be unpalatable, taste so good?"
"Boss, don't worry. Once the police arrive, we'll know if it's a misunderstanding."
"Who knows if you hired the police, or if you're deliberately pretending to be police to blackmail me! Don't listen to them, Lao Li, Xiao Chen... You're my regular customers, don't you know if you have any health problems? She's slandering me! Don't believe her!"
Fu Ling sneered, "You only have time to act rashly now. When the police arrive, I hope you can be sweet-talking. A black-hearted boss like you deserves death a hundred times! You're so bold! To profit, you actually add ingredients to the dishes. Look at what these people have become. Brother Chenyang, take a good look at these people. What do they look like?"
Du Chenyang carefully surveyed the guests around him, giving them a sense of emptiness. He then recalled how he used to feel uncomfortable and queasy whenever he didn't come to eat there, but how refreshed he felt after eating. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked Fu Ling in disbelief, "Could it be that?"
"Yes!" Fu Ling gave an affirmative answer.
Du Chenyang was extremely angry: "You heartless thing!!! How dare you!!!"
The guests in the restaurant were all confused and had no idea what they were talking about. Fortunately, Lu Beichen quickly brought the police to the restaurant.
The four policemen were wearing police uniforms and were obviously real police officers. The guests were suddenly a little panicked. So, they really had eaten poisonous food.
"What's going on? This guy just called the police and said there's something wrong with the food here."
The boss quickly argued: "Comrade police, it's unfair. There is absolutely nothing wrong with our dishes. They are the ones who are slandering us!"
Fu Ling stepped forward and said to the police, "Comrade police, this is what happened. A friend said the food at this restaurant was delicious, so he brought us here to try it. It was originally a small thing, but when the food arrived, it wasn't as delicious as he said. It was even hard to swallow, but my friend ate it with gusto."
Fu Ling gestured to Lu Beichen, who understood immediately and brought out the braised fish from the private room. It was obvious that he had only touched it with his chopsticks a few times.
"Comrade police officer, we can take it to the hospital for testing. This dish definitely has additives. Oh, and the laboratory equipment at the pharmaceutical factory is more advanced. You can go there to help."
Lu Beichen handed his officer ID to the police officer and said, "I'm off today. I was originally planning to take my wife and friends out for dinner, but I ran into this unexpected situation. My wife is a researcher at a pharmaceutical factory. She can help you with the tests. If you don't believe me, you can arrange for a police officer to come along."
The officer opened his officer ID and looked at it, then at Lu Beichen. He saluted him and asked, "I understand what you're saying. Could you first tell me specifically what kind of poison it is?"
Fu Ling said, "You police comrades should be familiar with this poison."
"What is that? Doctor, please help me explain."
"Poppy!"
This time even the police were stunned, their pupils dilated: "What did you say??? Poppies? Are you sure it's poppies?"
Fu Ling nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I'm sure. If this stuff is mixed into the food, it will make people dependent. Luckily, my friend is only free to come here every Sunday, so his poisoning is not very serious. But many of the customers here come almost every day, and their poisoning is already very serious. If they want to be treated, it will take several courses of treatment to be cured."
"Humph! How dare you put drugs in the food!!"
"Poppy? Is that that poppy? Oh my god! Doesn't that mean I've been taking drugs for months?"
Some guests who didn't know what a poppy was asked in confusion, "What is a poppy?"
“Never heard of it!”
Du Chenyang was filled with hatred. If he continued to eat like this, it would only be a matter of time before he became addicted. Wouldn't that mean he would become a drug addict? And his military career would be ruined.
Fortunately, Fu Ling came to the island this time, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Once you become addicted, it is difficult to quit this drug.
Du Chenyang asked: "Sister-in-law, do you have a way to cure this poison?"
"Of course, as long as you cooperate with my treatment, the toxins can be eliminated within a month."
