"Woo..."
The short-haired woman sat on the ground and cried bitterly, guessing that she could not communicate for the time being, and could only wait for the other party to calm down.
According to what the female doctor said, the deceased would not have been poisoned for more than ten minutes.
It should have been about five minutes from the onset of illness to the death of the deceased.
It should have been five minutes from the poisoning to the onset of the disease. Han Bin didn't notice when the deceased entered the store, but judging from the leftover food on their table, it definitely took more than five minutes to enter the store.
Judging from the above analysis, the deceased is likely to be poisoned in the store.
Based on this, most of the people in the store were suspected of committing crimes, and it was impossible for Han Bin to let them leave without a thorough investigation.
Soon, people from the police station also came to assist Han Bin in maintaining order at the scene.
Han Bin breathed a sigh of relief. There were more than 20 employees and customers in the store. Once these people broke out, it would be difficult for him and Zhao Ming to control the situation.
Now that there are enough people, Han Bin and Zhao Ming can also free up their hands to investigate the cause of the victim's death.
A cordon had been put up around the deceased. Only the short-haired woman was still holding the deceased and weeping. The restaurant waiters and other guests stood far away. No one would have thought that such a thing would happen while eating.
Han Bin squatted down to observe the condition of the deceased carefully. The deceased's face was blue, there was a puddle of vomit on his chest, his hands and feet were straight, his eyes were wide open, and he looked a little scary.
"Honey, don't leave me, don't leave..." the short-haired woman was still crying softly.
Han Bin said, "Madam, please let me know your condolences."
The short-haired woman turned her head slowly and looked at Han Bin, "Are you a policeman? How did my husband die? He was fine just now, so why did he die?"
"I also want to find out the cause of his death, and I need your assistance."
"Why don't you know, aren't you a policeman? You must know, hurry up and catch the murderer who killed my husband."
Han Bin tentatively asked, "How do you know he was killed?"
"He is a good man, he is free from illness and disaster, if someone did not harm him, how could he die. I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"what is your name?"
"Ma Xiaolin."
"What's your lover's name?"
"Chen Zihe."
"Is your husband feeling unwell today?"
"No, he has always been in good health and said he wants to eat meat, so I will accompany him to eat barbecue."
"When did you enter the restaurant?"
"It's about six o'clock."
"Think carefully about the exact time."
"It should be around half past six."
Han Bin glanced at his watch, it was already 7:5 minutes, judging from the time, the deceased should be poisoned in the restaurant.
"Has Chen Zihe encountered any trouble recently?"
"No."
"No, or do you not understand?"
"He didn't tell me. If he had, he would have told me."
"What has he eaten since he entered the store?"
"We ate at this table, and we only ate what was on the table." Speaking of this, Ma Xiaolin's expression changed slightly, "Ah, could it be that the food in this restaurant is poisonous? My husband was poisoned by the barbecue meat in the restaurant." died."
Ma Xiaolin's voice was not low, and many diners around heard it, and suddenly became confused.
"Oh my god, I also eat barbecue, so I won't be poisoned too."
"I feel that today's barbecue is not as fresh as before. Is there a problem with the meat?"
"Doctor, please check me to see if I am poisoned."
"That's right, doctor, don't go, let us check it too, this meal is really annoying."
"You still have the nerve to say, I just said that I eat Haidilao, but you insist on eating barbecue, now it's all right, everyone can't eat it."
"I don't know, I'm thinking that Haidilao is not affordable."
…
Hearing these noises, the restaurant manager's face turned green.
The female store manager came over, "Hello, lady, I can understand your feelings, I am deeply sorry for your husband's death, but I can guarantee with my personality that there is absolutely no problem with the food in our restaurant. Our company is For large chain restaurants, the ingredients used all meet national standards, and there is no possibility of food poisoning."
"What's the use of your personality? It can save my husband. Don't mention any large chain restaurants, they are all deceitful. Domestic food is safe. It's not that you poison me, I poison you."
"I don't know about other restaurants, but there is absolutely no problem with our restaurant. I personally check and confirm every purchase."
"Then why did my husband die? Give me an explanation. The fact now is that he died in your store. I'm not trying to blackmail you, but I was eager to get rid of the relationship as soon as I lost you. I am not feeling well."
"Ma'am, you may have misunderstood. I didn't mean that. Maybe I was in a hurry. I apologize to you."
"Okay, you two stop arguing." Han Bin waved his hand and continued, "It has been more than ten minutes since Chen Zihe's illness started, and everyone else in the store is normal, which means that most of the food should be fresh. questionable."
"Comrade policeman, thank you for speaking a fair word for our restaurant."
Han Bin asked back, "What's your name?"
"My name is Liu Ping, and I'm the manager of this store."
Han Bin pointed to the dining table not far away, "Is this table used by the deceased couple just now?"
"Yes, this is the table."
"Is the food on the table provided by your restaurant?"
Liu Ping walked in to check and confirmed one by one, "The barbecue ingredients are all from our store, but the bottle of beer on the table is not from our store. Our store doesn't have this kind of beer, so it should be taken away."
Han Bin went over to check, it was a bottle of Qindao's canned beer, and then Han Bin checked other tables, either bottled or other brands, but found no similar style of beer.
"Where does the beer come from?"
Ma Xiaolin said, "We brought the beer. My husband often drinks beer and nothing happens."
"Where did you get your beer?"
"I brought it from home."
"This restaurant also sells beer, why bring beer from home?"
"My husband usually likes to drink a little wine. He talks all day long about eating meat and not drinking. I know he must drink beer when he eats barbecue, so I brought him a can of beer from home."
Liu Ping said, "We generally don't allow alcohol in our restaurants."
"The beer in your restaurant is so expensive. If you buy one bottle in the store, you can buy three bottles outside. I just don't want to spend that much money. Is there a problem?"
Han Bin asked, "Have you ever drank that can of beer?"
"No, I don't drink."
"Has anyone touched that can of beer?"
"It was my husband who opened it and drank it himself, but the waiter is helping us barbecue, so we can still touch it."
Liu Ping retorted, "I don't agree with what you said. You and your husband have been sitting at the table. It is impossible for us waiters to touch your beer for no reason."
Han Bin waved his hand and signaled her not to speak, "After your husband opened the beer lid, did you see other people touch the beer can?"
"This...it seems not."
"Have you ever touched it yourself?"
"What do you mean by that? Is it possible that I can still poison him?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm just making a routine inquiry."
"Although I brought the beer, I didn't open it when I gave it to him. He opened the bottle cap himself. After that, I never touched the beer can. Then my husband had an accident."
Han Bin looked at the table again, "Have you eaten all the food on the table?"
Ma Xiaolin nodded, "I have."
"What's the difference between your diet and Chen Zihe's diet?"
Ma Xiaolin choked with tears and said, "He's been drinking, I'm not drinking beer."
Liu Ping let out a long sigh of relief.
Judging from the current situation, the problem was likely to be the can of beer, but the people from the forensic and technical department hadn't come yet, and Han Bin couldn't prove it.
The beer was brought by Ma Xiaolin, especially for Chen Zihe, she was undoubtedly the most suspected.
"Dingling..." Han Bin's cell phone rang
He winked at Zhao Ming, then went to the side to answer the phone.
"Captain."
"I heard that someone died at Wanda Plaza, are you there?"
"Yes, people from the emergency center came. The victim's time from onset of illness to death was extremely short, and he had no history of illness before. He probably died of poisoning."
Ding Xifeng was silent for a moment, "Since you are at the scene, let your team be responsible for this case."
"I see."
"Let's do this first. If there is any current situation, please report to me at any time."
Twenty minutes later, people from the Second Squadron of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade rushed to the scene one after another.
Han Bin called the team members together, briefly explained the situation of the restaurant, and then the team members took notes for the diners.
Subsequently, the technical department and the forensic doctor also rushed to the scene.
The technical department took over the dining table, and the forensic doctor took care of the corpses.
Han Bin was finally free to take care of his girlfriend, "Tingting, are you tired?"
"Okay, how's the situation?"
"The victim was probably poisoned, and the Forensic and Technical Division is investigating the exact cause of death."
"Then when can Qianqian and I leave?"
"In this way, I will arrange for someone to take notes for you, and after the notes are completed, you can leave."
"how about you?"
"I can't say enough, you and Qianqian should go home first."
Wang Ting said with concern, "I see, you should also pay attention to rest."
"Here are the car keys. You can drive back in a while, and I'll take their car..." Before Han Bin finished speaking, there was a burst of crying from the door of the restaurant, "Woo..."
A middle-aged woman rushed straight to the restaurant, but was stopped by two police officers.
"Let go of me, I want to see my son, let go..."
Han Bin asked Ma Xiaolin, "Who is this woman?"
"It's Chen Zihe's mother."
"She's too emotional, go and persuade her not to come in."
Ma Xiaolin seemed a little embarrassed, "She has a bad temper, and it's useless for me to persuade her..."
"Ah..." Chen Zihe's mother was crying and fussing. Seeing that the police refused to let him go, she sat on the ground and rolled over, "I want to see my son, I don't believe it, I don't believe it... I want to see him with my own eyes."
Han Bin walked over and said, "Auntie, is your son Chen Zihe?"
"That's right, Chen Zihe is my son."
"What's your name?"
"My name is Song Hongmian. What happened to my son, I want to see him."
"Your son had an accident. I can let you see him, but please calm down first. If you get too emotional, it may affect your health."
"I'm fine. The more you don't let me see, the more anxious I feel. Let me in, please."
Han Bin waved his hand to signal the two police officers to let them go.
Later, Song Hongmian rushed into the restaurant and was stopped by Li Qin and Zhao Ming beside Chen Zihe's corpse, fearing that she would destroy the corpse and affect the normal work of the forensic doctor.
"Son, my poor son... why did you leave, woo..." Song Hongmian cried heartbreakingly, his whole body went limp, and he sat down on the ground again.
Han Bin said, "Take Ms. Song to a chair beside her to rest."
"I'm not going, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Comrade policeman, how did my son die and who killed him?"
"The police are investigating the cause of his death, did he suffer from a serious medical condition?"
"No, my son has always been in good health without any problems. How could he have died suddenly? How did he die?"
"Initial suspicion, he probably died of poisoning."
"Poisoned? Did he get poisoned in this restaurant? Who did he eat with?" Song Hongmian looked around, and her eyes fell on Ma Xiaolin, "It's you, it's you, a woman, I knew you were not a good person, you are You didn't kill my son."
"Mom, how can you say such a thing? I am also very sad that Zihe died. Can you stop stabbing me in the chest?" Ma Xiaolin's face was full of grievances.
"I've known for a long time that my son won't end well with you. Was he poisoned to death while eating with you? Wasn't it?"
"We ate together, but I didn't poison him."
"Then why is he dead and you are not dead? You tell me, who is it not you?"
"I... woo...how do I know." Ma Xiaolin covered her face, ran aside and began to cry.
Han Bin asked in a low voice, "Ms. Song, how is the relationship between your son and daughter-in-law?"
"Who says she is my daughter-in-law, she is not, and I don't recognize her."
Li Qin said, "Auntie, even if your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have conflicts, you don't like her. But as long as they get a certificate, they are husband and wife, which is granted by the law."
"They didn't get a certificate at all, what kind of couples are they?"
Han Bin raised his eyebrows, "Aren't they a legal couple?"
"No, my son's household registration book has always been with me, how could they get the certificate."
"So, you disagree with the two of them receiving the certificate?"
Song Hongmian hesitated for a moment, "Yes, I disagree, I don't want to see this woman, she is not sincerely with my son, I can tell."
"Do you think Chen Zihe's death is related to Ma Xiaolin?"
Song Hongmian said firmly, "Yes."
"Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? I don't have evidence. She has been with my son all the time. Since she intends to harm others, there are many opportunities. Even if there is evidence, she would have ruined it long ago."
Han Bin said, "Then why do you think that Ma Xiaolin was related to Chen Zihe's death? There must be some basis."
"I..." Song Hongmian hesitated, "I have no basis...but I just know."
