Chapter 357 Sudden Death?

Nanting Road Pedestrian Street belongs to the jurisdiction of Cangqian Road Police Station.

When Ye Qishui received the call, he thought it was an ordinary civil dispute.

Unexpectedly, someone died.

"The deceased, Zhu Dongming, 36 years old, is a native of Rongcheng City and lives in Beixinjing Second Community. He was an employee of Hengyuan Real Estate. After the company was acquired, he was fired because of some friction with the Human Resources Department. Last week, accompanied by a friend, he sorted out the materials and planned to go to labor arbitration."

"According to the store owner, the deceased suddenly fell to the ground, and there was no sign before."

These are the information Ye Qishui got from the hot pot restaurant owner.

"The owner of Meiwa Hot Pot used to be his neighbor. Yesterday, Zhu Dongming brought his friends to eat, and the owner gave him a discount."

While he was talking, Jiang Yang had already walked to the body covered with white cloth and squatted down. He slightly lifted the corner of his clothes and vaguely saw the pale face and purple lips of the deceased.

Moving his eyes down, there were abnormal red spots on Zhu Dongming's neck and exposed arms.

[Ding! The death scene has been detected. Please arrest the murderer as soon as possible. Successfully completing the task will earn you 5,000 points! 】

The system prompt pops up.

Jiang Yang paused, and before he could take a closer look, the forensic and identification technicians were already in place.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Yang got up and made way after a habitual greeting.

Guo Jin leaned over quietly: "Brother Yang, we got the surveillance video. The one who quarreled with the deceased yesterday..."

He didn't need to say much. The two of them knew what they meant when they looked at each other.

One of them died just after the quarrel.

Before the autopsy report came out, there were not enough clues.

Jiang Yang was about to ask Guo Jin to come to the house to understand the situation, but the owner of the Frog Hot Pot Restaurant almost pierced his eardrums with a deafening cry.

"God knows! I've been running this shop for more than ten years, and nothing has ever happened! The recipes I use are all handed down from my ancestors, and no one has ever gotten sick from eating them! Officers, please help me explain a few words for me! Otherwise, how can I open this shop for business!"

The boss climbed on Lin Yu's shoulder and cried miserably.

"Boss Wang, calm down."

Lin Yu's face was stiff, and he comforted him in a gentle voice.

"Have you seen the person who had dinner with Zhu Dongming yesterday? What were the two people arguing about?"

Wait until Boss Wang calmed down, then Jiang Yang asked him.

"I don't know him, but I know he and I live in the same neighborhood. Lao Zhu told me so."

"Lao Zhu called me a week in advance and told me to save a seat for him, saying he wanted to invite a very important friend. He also told me whether he could become rich or not depended on this one. We are old neighbors, so of course I gave him face!"

"Who knew that I had prepared everything well, but they had a quarrel over the pot of bullfrog. I didn't want to cause trouble, so I gave Lao Zhu a free meal."

"Lao Zhu must have felt a little guilty this morning, so he came to apologize to me, saying that he had made things difficult for my store yesterday. Well, what's the big deal? It was just a quarrel between customers and it didn't get out of hand. Besides, our friendship is here, how can I really be angry with him?"

Boss Wang sighed, feeling depressed.

"I didn't expect the chef in my store to speak up for me. The two of them had a few words and got a little angry. The quarrel became more and more fierce and I couldn't stop them. The customers in the store got annoyed and called the police directly."

It was not a big deal and civil mediation was over.

But what happened next was beyond Boss Wang's expectations.

"Later, I held the chef down, and Lao Zhu insisted on giving me money, saying it was for yesterday's table. When I saw it was nearly 10,000, I refused to take it. A bullfrog hotpot meal costs less than 300, so why would I need 10,000! He asked me to calm down, but I refused. He insisted on giving me money, but I still refused... Anyway, after pushing and pulling, he suddenly fell to the ground with a "thump", which scared me."

"I immediately asked the shop assistant to give me first aid. Look, it's not here at this time! I'm so worried!"

Boss Wang looked innocent, blew his nose and continued: "My shop is a time-honored brand in Rongcheng! It was in the top ten of citizen reviews last year! The ingredients are guaranteed to be fine, and it's impossible to get hurt! We usually get food here!"

"Besides, Lao Zhu didn't eat anything just now. From the time he entered the door... he just drank a glass of lemon juice! Dear police officers, you can check whatever you want! I have a clear conscience!"

Jiang Yang believed what he said.

Because with the Frog Hot Pot Restaurant as the center, there is no red dot within 700 meters.

To verify, he also went to the kitchen to meet the chef who quarreled with Zhu Dongming.

The old man is 60 years old this year. He is the chef of the restaurant. He has been with Boss Wang for many years and has always had a good relationship with him.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't be angry with the customer. Didn't he have diarrhea after eating because he just said that the restaurant was not clean? Just pretend that I didn't hear it. Why did I argue with him? Alas."

Tang Guobin slapped his thigh in regret, "Officer Jiang, I didn't mean to anger him on purpose, why did he die?"

The old man was terrified, fearing that he would be taken back for questioning.

"You said Zhu Dongming fell down by himself? There were still signs of diarrhea after eating yesterday?"

Jiang Yang grasped the key point and asked.

Boss Wang was entertaining guests while talking to Zhu Ming, but Tang Guobin had physical contact with the deceased when he brought the pot out.

"He really fell! I didn't touch him at all!"

"Diarrhea? He said he had diarrhea, but who knows if it's true or not! Our boss is very strict, and this is a pedestrian street. The health bureau comes to check every now and then. How can it not be clean?"

"Look, we just checked it the week before last!"

In addition to Tang Guobin, another worker also chatted with Zhu Dongming this morning.

These two people are all green dots in the crime radar, and they can't be clearer.

While Jiang Yang was asking questions, many people gathered in front of the store.

In broad daylight, Nanting Road is a landmark place in the city center. There are local people from Rongcheng, and more are tourists.

"Someone died? Someone died from eating at Meiwa Hotpot?"

After hearing half of the sentence, someone started shouting.

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't you see that the police are still investigating? Be careful to get arrested if you spread rumors and cause trouble!"

The person who just spoke immediately stopped talking.

"I came here to eat last night!"

"Oh, please make way, I saw Officer Jiang!"

"By the way, wasn't there a GIF on the Internet yesterday? Officer Jiang was eating skewers at the barbecue restaurant next door."

"That one, I saw it too, was he with his colleagues?"

Passersby chattered, and tourists asked curiously.

For a moment, the surroundings were noisy, making the store even more stuffy.

"Everyone, please make way, don't block the road, an ambulance will be coming in soon."

Jiang Yang and Guo Jin evacuated the crowd to avoid unnecessary congestion.

Even so, the ambulance still had difficulty moving on the pedestrian street.
