Bizarre food poisoning

◇ Text / Wu Chang

Li Bin is a criminal police officer at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. That evening, he received a call from his girlfriend asking him to come over for dinner. My girlfriend's house is not far away, in a community near the Public Security Bureau. When he arrived at the door, he saw an Antong courier standing in front of his girlfriend's neighbor's meter box, so he said casually: "You put the courier in the meter box, and if you lose it, is it considered the buyer's or the courier company?" The courier was wearing a mask, turned around and smiled at Li Bin, and left without speaking.

After Li Bin finished eating, he came out of his girlfriend's house, and happened to see his girlfriend's neighbor coming back in the corridor, carrying a bag with various chili peppers in his hand. Li Bin often comes to his girlfriend's house, and he has also met with each other before, and I heard his girlfriend say that his name is Zhang Ran, he is from Guizhou, and he loves to eat hot and sour food.

A few days later, Li Bin suddenly received a call from his girlfriend in the middle of the night, saying that Zhang Ran had an accident, and he immediately called his colleagues and rushed to his girlfriend's house. His girlfriend told Li Bin with a pale face that Zhang Ran had been taken away by an ambulance, and he heard that it was food poisoning, and he was not rescued.

Li Bin was very surprised and asked his girlfriend, "How can this be?" His girlfriend told him that Zhang Ran lived alone, usually going out early and returning late, and there was always a lot of food in the refrigerator.

Li Bin frowned, and saw that the door of Zhang Ran's house was open, so he walked in, only to see a young girl silently cleaning up the things in the house, her eyes swollen from crying. Looking at this scene, his girlfriend said to Li Bin sadly: "This is Zhang Ran's girlfriend Dong Yue, who works in the same company as Zhang Ran. ”

Li Bin nodded, stepped forward and said, "Dong Yue, hello, I am Zhang Ran's neighbor and the criminal police officer in charge of his case, I want to see Zhang Ran's refrigerator, is it okay?" Dong Yue glanced at Li Bin and agreed. Li Bin opened the refrigerator and found that there were a lot of convenience foods in the refrigerator, in addition to some sauerkraut and chili peppers. Li Bin took them out one by one and looked at them, took a few things away, rummaged through the trash cans again, and saw that there was a shopping receipt, and took it away.

A few days later, when Li Bin went to his girlfriend's house, he saw an Antong courier putting a courier in the meter box of his girlfriend's house, and he casually asked, "How many of you are in charge of this community?" The courier said, "He's the only one." Li Bin was stunned: "No, I saw another one to deliver it a few days ago." The courier scratched his head and said, "No, I haven't asked for leave in recent months, I guess you're wrong, now the courier staff clothes are quite similar, maybe it's other courier companies." ”

Doubts rose sharply in Li Bin's heart. Just then, his cell phone rang, and the bureau told him to go back. A colleague told him that several of the food items he sent for testing did have varying degrees of deterioration, and some aflatoxin was detected in rice noodles and noodles. Li Bin found the shopping receipts that were turned out of Zhang Ran's trash can, and said: "But according to the date on the shopping receipt, the purchase date of these foods is not more than one month, and they won't spoil so quickly if they are placed in the refrigerator, right?" ”

A colleague said: "Food spoilage is very complicated, could it be that he took it out when he was cooking and forgot to put it back in, and then put it back in the refrigerator until it spoiled?" Li Bin listened, thoughtful.

The next day, Li Bin came to Zhang Ran's company, found Dong Yue, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know who Zhang Ran has a conflict with?" Dong Yue bit her lip and said, "Zhang Ran has a good temper and popularity, and he has no enemies." If there must be a contradiction, there may be only one thing. Wang Zheng, the sales manager of our company, has been pursuing me before, but I said that I prefer Zhang Ran, who is a technician. Wang Zheng is very personable, I heard that Zhang Ran and I are about to get engaged, and he also organized colleagues to celebrate us. ”

Li Bin thought for a while, and then asked, "When was the last time you had dinner at Zhang Ran's house, and did you have any adverse reactions after eating?" Dong Yue recalled and said: "Half a month ago, I remember that he made sauerkraut fish, and after eating it, I felt sick to my stomach, and I thought it was because my stomach was not suitable for too spicy." Wang Zheng laughed at Zhang Ran after knowing this, saying that if he invited his girlfriend to dinner and did it himself at home, he had to find a decent restaurant. Later, Zhang Ran stopped inviting me to dinner at home. ”

Li Bin wanted to meet Wang Zheng, and Dong Yue said that Wang Zheng was on a business trip. Li Bin asked her if she had a photo of Wang Zheng, Dong Yue took out a group photo of a company colleague from a drawer, pointed to one of them and said, "The one standing next to Zhang Ran is." Li Bin looked at the photo, suddenly picked up a pen, and painted off the lower half of Wang Zheng's face, looking like he was wearing a mask.

Two days later, Wang Zheng returned to the company after a business trip, brought a brand-name bag to Dong Yue, and said proudly: "When a woman is sad, she can only rely on two things to calm down: one is time, and the other is luxury." There's also a set of lipsticks in the bag, you have to come out of the shadows, makeup can make you delicate, and your mood will improve..."

Before the words fell, there was a sudden applause in the office, Wang Zheng looked back in surprise, only to see two strangers walking over, one of whom smiled and said, "Mr. Wang Zheng, well said!" It can be seen that you have a successful career and a good demeanor, how can a man like you be willing to lose to others? ”

Wang Zheng looked at each other and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" This person was Li Bin, he took out his ID and said: "I am a policeman, I suspect that you have something to do with Zhang Ran's death, please go back with us to assist in the investigation." After speaking, he took Wang Zheng back to the Public Security Bureau.

In the interrogation room, Wang Zheng said arrogantly: "Zhang Ran is food poisoning, and someone is not poisoning, why do you suspect me?" ”

Li Bin said: "I have two pieces of evidence in my hand, do you want to hear it?" Seeing that Wang Zheng didn't say anything, Li Bin said to himself: "One evidence is that the food Zhang Ran bought needs to be refrigerated in the refrigerator, and it will not spoil within a month under normal circumstances, but it has deteriorated, and there are only two possibilities: one is that Zhang Ran himself was careless and did not keep it in the refrigerator; The second is that there is a problem with Zhang Ran's refrigerator. ”

Wang Zheng spread his hands and said, "What does this have to do with me, could it be that someone came into the house and destroyed his food?" ”

Li Bin shook his head and said, "I checked the surveillance in the corridor, except for Zhang Ran and Dong Yue, no one else has entered Zhang Ran's house. ”

Wang Zheng snorted: "That's not the end." ”

Li Bin smiled and said: "Another evidence is more interesting, according to the surveillance in the corridor, more than a month ago, Antong's courier suddenly became diligent, originally he only sent the express to the meter box once a day, during this time, he had to deliver three times a day." But upon closer inspection, we found that it was not the same person, and every time one of them came to the meter box, the courier box he was holding in his hand was actually the same. ”

Wang Zheng's forehead began to sweat: "What does that have to do with me?" ”

Li Bin continued: "The man pretended to be a courier, and every day when Zhang Ran went to work, he pulled off the electric switch, and then came to close the electric switch before Zhang Ran got home from work. In this way, Zhang Ran didn't know that the electricity in his house had been cut off, but the food in the refrigerator had deteriorated unconsciously. ”

Wang Zheng waved his hand and said, "He's not a fool, he won't know if the food has gone bad?" ”

Li Bin stared at Wang Zheng and said, "Because you know that he likes to eat hot and sour food, and likes to cook hot and sour dishes." When food has gone bad, it is difficult to detect the strong sour and spicy taste. That time Dong Yue ate sauerkraut fish and had a stomach trouble, I'm afraid it was also your 'masterpiece', after you knew it, I was afraid that even Dong Yue would be harmed, so I deliberately stimulated Zhang Ran and asked him to invite Dong Yue to the restaurant for dinner in the future. Am I right? ”

Wang Zheng wiped his sweat and argued: "These are just your speculations, how can you conclude that the person in the surveillance video is me?" ”

Li Bin said coldly: "You bought a set of Antong's courier staff uniforms, and you will change them before entering the community every time, but where can you change them?" You can't just run home every time to change it, and it's too late in time. Several times, you have parked your car on the side of the road and changed in the car. Speaking of this, Li Bin pointed to the screen: "Please explain these surveillance videos, obviously you are the only one in the car, why did a courier-like person get out of the car after driving for a while?" ”

Wang Zheng finally couldn't hold it anymore, collapsed on the chair, and muttered: "It's all Zhang Ran's fault, he knows that I like Dong Yue so much, why do you want to rob me?" How could I lose to him..."
