Chapter 1346: Got Slaughtered
Who is Li Mo? If you have never seen him in person, you must have heard of his name. In the minds of ordinary people, he is definitely a god-like figure. As long as the treasure he wants to hunt for cannot be hidden at all, whether it is buried underground or sunk in the water, it cannot escape his eyes.
Now, if you confess honestly, you can still win leniency. If you continue to pretend to be dead and say nothing, you will have to ask yourself what kind of trial you will receive.
When people have no hope, any secret is no longer a secret.
"I will confess, I will confess everything."
Cao Zhixin next door showed a faint smile, and things finally made a major breakthrough.
Li Mo left the hotel with Chen Yuyan and the others at around eight o'clock in the evening. Their goal was all kinds of delicious food in the night market. However, this is not a big county town, and the popularity of the night market is still incomparable to that of first- and second-tier cities.
"Uncle, why don't you order some crayfish?"
Chen Mingyun wiped the table first, then poured him a glass of lemonade before asking him what he wanted to eat.
"You can't eat crayfish every time. Aren't there a lot of barbecues and seafood? You can order some of them. You can order whatever you like. Don't be embarrassed to eat it. Follow me out. If you can't satisfy your appetite, then that means Your trip was in vain."
Li Mo motioned for everyone to order whatever they wanted, while he leisurely drank the iced lemonade, which was a bit sour. Then he looked at the surrounding environment and the flow of passengers.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Chen Yuyan asked curiously.
Li Mo put down the water glass in his hand and said with a smile: "This place is called the hometown of crayfish, but have you noticed that the crayfish in the night market here does not seem to be hot, but the diners here order more grilled fish. Kebabs, stir-fries, etc. ”
Chen Yuyan stretched out her head to take a look: "It's true, uncle, maybe it's because the people here are tired of eating crayfish."
"There may be such a factor, but the specific situation still needs to be investigated. The superiors transferred Cao Zhixin not simply to occupy a position, but to give him an arduous task. How can we improve the tourism market here? You have to have a clear idea of what to eat, drink and have fun before. It’s less than a month before the May Day holiday, so it’s still very challenging to come up with a good enough promotion plan in such a short period of time.”
As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, the crayfish ordered by Chen Mingyun had been served, and it was served in three flavors together.
"So fast?"
Li Mo asked a little surprised.
The waiter was a woman in her forties or fifties. She replied with a local accent: "We serve the food very quickly. You guys should try it."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Mo looked at the appearance of the crayfish on the plate, then took a few breaths and frowned slightly. He pinched a thirteen-flavored crayfish. The seasoning was a bit heavy. When he peeled the shell and ate the shrimp meat, Li Mo chewed it twice and then spat it out.
"Uncle, is there something wrong with this crayfish?"
Chen Yuyan asked solemnly.
Li Mo picked it up with chopsticks and tasted the other two lobster flavors. He chewed them twice and then vomited them.
"You guys have a try."
Chen Yuyan peeled off a spicy lobster, chewed it twice and said, "The lobster meat is not as chewy as what we have eaten before, but it is quite tasty."
There was a reason why Li Mo vomited it up. Although Chen Yuyan had no problem eating it, she still vomited it up. Chen Mingyun also tasted a garlic lobster, and frowned slightly: "The garlic is over-fried, and the garlic aroma is a bit lacking. But you are right, it tastes good, but the shrimp meat is not as rich as what I have eaten before." It’s chewy, like the pork has been stewed to a pulp, and it doesn’t taste good.”
Other security guards also tasted it, and the taste was indeed not good.
"Uncle, is there something wrong with these lobsters?"
Li Mo snorted softly and said: "The lobsters we ate before were always dipped in sauce after peeling off the shells. They were chewy in the mouth. But these lobsters have already been flavored. Do you think they can be flavored in such a short time?"
Chen Yuyan was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized and said: "It is premade crayfish that has been prepared for a long time. It has not even been prepared for a day or two. When customers order, they can just reheat it in the pot."
"I don't know if it's a pre-prepared dish, but the crayfish may be dead. If it's not a pre-prepared dish, it's pre-made overnight crayfish."
Li Mo shook his head slightly. No wonder there were not many customers around for late night snacks and drinks, but very few people actually ordered crayfish. Even if they had a little bit, not much was eaten on the table.
"Uncle, I'll go find them to settle the score."
Chen Mingyun got up and walked towards the store. They were sitting outside, and through the glass they could see him talking to the girl at the cashier at the front desk. When this happens, the person who acted with a guilty conscience should immediately come out and apologize, but the young girl in her early twenties seemed to be even more angry than Chen Mingyun, and she also looked impatient.
"Uncle, I'll go over and have a look too."
"Sit down, you still need two people to handle this small matter?"
Li Mo held Chen Yuyan down with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The diners in the store all looked towards Chen Mingyun. The commotion inside became louder and louder. They also saw a chef and three male waiters coming out of the back kitchen and pushing and shoving Chen Mingyun.
"Quite interesting."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Mo's mouth, and he shrugged at everyone and said, "It seems that this first night snack plan is going to be ruined. I definitely can't continue eating like this."
Chen Mingyun walked out angrily, followed by the fat chef. He was still holding a spoon in his hand. He glanced at Li Mo and others. Unexpectedly, there were several big men at the table, which made his momentum suddenly rise. Be more restrained.
"We are all honest and responsible small business owners. You can't arbitrarily accuse us of having problems with the food we cook. I suspect you are deliberately looking for trouble, but the food has been served. If you don't eat, you still have to pay. "
"you..."
Chen Yuyan stood up angrily, with a somewhat intimidating aura.
"Yuyan, the boss is right. Since the food is served, you should pay if you don't eat it. Boss, let's calculate how much it costs. We won't lose a penny."
Li Mo was wearing a duckbill hat, and the chef couldn't see his face clearly. Seeing him showing weakness, he couldn't help but raise his chin and said, "Three hundred and eighty yuan."
"You are crazy about money. Three plates of lobster are only six pounds. How dare you ask us for 380 yuan?" Chen Yuyan may not look like a woman, but her personality is definitely domineering, and she can't get rid of the dirt in her eyes. She pounded the menu on the table and continued, "You can see clearly for yourself that crayfish costs fifteen yuan a pound, and six pounds is only ninety yuan. You dare to ask us for three hundred and eighty yuan, you are bullying us." Are outsiders trying to kill us?"
These chefs were also very angry. He knocked on the table with the spoon in his hand and said: "We are all hard-working people, and we earn hard-earned money. It's true that the crayfish is fifteen pounds, but we use it to cook the crayfish." The ingredients are expensive, each flavor costs 70 yuan, and the three flavors cost 210 yuan. And the eight of you are drinking lemonade, and you have to remove disposable bowls and chopsticks. Each person costs 10 yuan. , a total of three hundred and eighty yuan was spent, I calculated it clearly, how could I cheat you?"
Damn it, this fee is actually calculated like this. The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding diners. Li Mo actually saw the expressions of watching the show on the faces of many people, as if they were used to such things.
"Boss, although the account you calculated is a bit ridiculous, it's our first time to play here and we admit our defeat. Yuyan, pay."
Chen Yuyan held back her anger and reluctantly paid for the supper.
"Boss, we haven't eaten these yet. Is it okay to take them away and take them back to the hotel to taste them slowly?"
It's normal to take it away, but the chef waved his hand impatiently and said: "Crayfish is a special food. Some people will have allergies, diarrhea and fever after their stomach is not good. You are here Eat, I can take responsibility if something happens. If you take away the crayfish, I won’t be responsible if something happens again. Therefore, the crayfish cooked in our restaurant cannot be taken away. This has been a rule for many years.”
"I think it's better to pack it up for us and take it away. After all, there are a lot of people here. If we really get into a fight over a few kilograms of crayfish, I'm afraid your losses will be quite big. We have already paid. If you really think that we foreign tourists are easy to bully, you may be wrong.”
Li Mo sat there and said lightly.
With a crash, the other five security guards stood up one after another, everyone staring at him.
"Hmph, someone, come and pack up the crayfish here."
The chef left cursing.
"Uncle, these lobsters are inedible, so what are you doing packing them?"
Chen Yuyan asked puzzledly.
"We won't eat it, let's give it to others to eat."
Li Mo picked up the mobile phone on the table and operated it a few times on the screen. A recording file was transferred to her mobile phone.
"I heard Cao Zhixin say that the place where he lives now is arranged by the government, and he is relatively close to several people in charge in the county. You can send these packaged lobsters and recording files to the first three people in charge. Let them try these delicious lobsters.”
Chen Yuyan thought that her uncle was really angry this time, and even wanted to give these problematic crayfish to the three people in charge for a taste. I guess except for him who had the guts, everyone else just thought about it.
"Forget it, I'm not in a good mood to have late-night snacks tonight. I hope Cao Zhixin can send me good news, so that I can save a lot of trouble tomorrow. Let's go back to the hotel and rest."
Chen Yuyan looked at the packed crayfish and glanced at Chen Mingyun, saying she really wanted to do this.
"You go back with your uncle first, I will take care of this matter."
He ordered the crayfish. He was already angry after having an argument with the cashier girl at the front desk. This matter was just what he wanted. My uncle was not afraid of anything, so what was he afraid of? Anyway, if the sky collapsed, there would still be a tall man to hold it up.
Early the next morning, before Li Mo got up, he heard a knock on the door outside. He checked the time, then put on his hotel nightgown and walked over to open the door.
"It's only after six o'clock, you came too early."
Li Mo also took a breath and rubbed his face to wake up.
Cao Zhixin looked at his back with a strange expression, then walked quickly to him and said, "Brother, I got up early for a jog, and then I heard the security guard in the community saying that the daughter of the first person in charge and the third person were married late at night yesterday. It seems that the person in charge’s son had a bad stomach and went to the hospital to get fluids.”
Li Mo paused, turned his head and asked in a strange tone: "Did they really eat the crayfish I sent over?"
Cao Zhixin nodded: "The hospital said it was a bad stomach, causing acute gastroenteritis, vomiting and diarrhea. When I asked them, they all ate crayfish. So the crayfish residue you sent over was sent for testing. There is no report yet.”
Li Mo took a few sips of a bottle of mineral water, then sat on the sofa and said, "So it seems that only the second person in charge didn't taste the crayfish I sent over."
Cao Zhixin said with a smile: "Brother, you should focus on the key points."
"Those crayfish were problematic, but I didn't expect that they would get acute gastroenteritis after eating them. It's really hard for them." Li Mo said indifferently. He thought for a while before looking at Cao Zhixin, "Didn't Chen Mingyun send you the recording file last night?"
"What recording file?" Cao Zhixin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"I was wondering why they dared to eat crayfish. It turns out that they didn't know about the recording file." Li Mo first thought that Chen Mingyun deliberately didn't send it, but he thought it was unlikely. Then it might be that Chen Yuyan didn't send it to Chen Mingyun, which made sense.
He took the phone from the bedside and opened it, and was speechless. He had wrongly blamed Chen Yuyan and Chen Mingyun. It turned out that when he sent the file last night, it showed that it was unsuccessful.
Cao Zhixin came over curiously and took a look: "Brother, what is this recording?"
"You came just in time, hand over this recording file."
Li Mo sent the recording file to Cao Zhixin, and threw the phone aside after confirming that it was sent successfully.
Cao Zhixin opened the recording file, and heard a clear conversation in it. The more he listened, the uglier his face became. When he finished listening, he was so angry that he really wanted to throw the phone to the ground.
"It's simply lawless. They are still looking forward to revitalizing the tourism market every day, and they are daydreaming every day to make this place a hot spot for tourism. When you meet such a merchant, it's okay to be angry, but you may even send yourself to the hospital. Come happily and leave angrily. What you send out is not a good reputation, but countless infamy."
"What are you angry about?"
"Brother, I am in charge of this area now. Fortunately, I met you. If such a bad thing really happened to other tourists during the May Day tourist peak season, all our efforts would be in vain."
Cao Zhixin was not only angry, but also very scared. Fortunately, Li Mo encountered this matter in advance and broke it all at once.
"Find a few people with foreign accents and go around the night market these days to see if this is an isolated phenomenon or a common phenomenon. Once it is confirmed, you must strike hard, otherwise it will be difficult for you to carry out your next work."
"I will go back to make arrangements now."
"Why are you in a hurry? Since you are here, tell me about the four people. Have you found any important clues?"
"One person has already spoken and got a lot of information. The other three were in the hospital yesterday to treat their injuries, so we haven't interrogated them in a targeted manner." Cao Zhixin took out a copy of the document from his bag and handed it to Li Mo, "I was so angry just now that I forgot about the main business. Brother, take a look at these confessions. Those four guys are really good at courting death."
Li Mo flipped through the document.
"The guy who spoke didn't know where the cultural relics he brought out before were placed?"
"He was just an errand boy. How could he know such an important thing? Brother, I think there is no time to lose. We must conduct a surprise interrogation of the remaining three this morning."
