delicious little cook

Chapter 597
"The number is clear. The extra empty wine jars are just the few in the cellar! That bastard pried the cellar, poured wine and set fire to it, and ate things crawling inside and out. If he caught him, he would have to skin him!"

"This person seems to be a first-time offender." Bai Kou scratched his head, "After pouring wine, he put the empty wine jar away, and then went back to the room to close the door before lighting the fire. He was exposed, not the principal offender but at least an accomplice."

"We have used that janitor for many years. We almost watched his children grow up. He is our old man. Did he really do it? Are there really no other misunderstandings?" The shopkeeper still couldn't believe himself. The old chap would do that.

"But there were no traces of fighting at the scene, and all the items had not been moved, and they were all burned in their original places." Bai Kou understood the other party's mood, "But look, the place where the fire really started was inside the door, that is, it started burning indoors. Yes, at least ask him back. The doors of your restaurant are all bolted from the inside, and only he, the doorman who sleeps in the hut behind the counter, can open the door. He has to explain how the fire started from the inside Even if I have no evidence to talk nonsense, he is not the principal criminal, not an accessory, he is always an insider, and in such a big case, it is not a trivial matter for him not to report and conceal the clues to solve the case."

"Brothers, help me, go to the fence and check if there are any fresh traces of outsiders digging in and out." Gu Yun had a flash of inspiration and said to his buddies.

The boys understood right away, and swiftly ran up the wall, stepping on the top of the wall as if walking steadily on flat ground. Each of them was responsible for checking a short section, and quickly checked the entire wall.

"No, there is no trace at all."

"In this way, the biggest suspicion really can only fall on the janitor." Gu Yun looked at the owner and then at the shopkeeper, his tone a bit heavy.

"How could he?! How could he?!" The shopkeeper gritted his teeth with hatred, and kept circling in circles.

"Don't think about it, let's talk about it after you get him back. He is a night watchman, and he should have no personal enmity with the rest of you. Something happened." Bai Kou's comfort was also a little pale.

At this moment, the guys who went to the medical center to find someone hurried over, sweating profusely, and shouted badly when they saw the shopkeeper and the owner.

"It's not good, that guy escaped!"

"The doctors said that he left as soon as he finished bandaging and said he was going back to the restaurant. When we went to find him, he had been gone for a long time!"

"The yamen servant and Marquis Wu also asked at the four gates. A peddler said that he seemed to have seen him leave the workshop. The yamen servant has already rushed back to the yamen and said that he will send a letter to arrest him!"

"Some guy has already gone to his house. He has a wife, children and parents. If he doesn't even return home, then he must have done it."

The old boss was really heartbroken, he clenched his fist with his right hand and kept beating his chest, stretched out his other hand towards Gu Yun, and at the same time signaled his fellows to avoid him.

Seeing this, Gu Yun's buddies also left together wisely, and went to the street to rest for a while, only the old boss and Gu Yun Baikou were left in the backyard.

"Old boss, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Gu Shizi, I was very happy when we started our business as a partner. I really woke up from my dream every day, but looking at the current situation, I don't know if I should close down completely. I'm afraid our partnership is It can't last anymore."

"Don't be discouraged. Your business is not limited to this Wangjiang Tower. Keep your spirits up and you will survive. Our business will continue as usual, as long as you don't dislike that Zhuangzi's daily income from selling vegetables."

"Gu Shizi, I got your warning last time. I was really worried that someone would mess with me about taxes and debts. I even said hello through my old friends in the black market, don't be manipulated by others, but I didn't expect that Qian Take all precautions, if you can't guard against house thieves, it's my own people who harmed me."

"I heard that that person is also your old buddy. His motive for doing such a thing suddenly is a mystery. I don't know if he has a personal enmity with you?"

"It shouldn't be. My guys have been working as the shortest handyman for almost ten years, and they get along very well on weekdays. They are like a family. I am also an owner, and my business is not limited to this Wangjiang Tower. What kind of personal enmity should I have with the guys here?"

"Then is it possible that he offended outsiders and was coerced by outsiders to do this?"

"This...it's really hard to say...we don't know much about the guys' private affairs, and the man comes at night and leaves during the day, maybe someone has a good relationship with him, so we have to call all the guys to ask. "

Bai Kou immediately went out, and she went to personally ask those guys who the night watchman had the best relationship with.

But after asking around, I found that all the staff, including the chef, were not close to that person. After all, the time when he went to work was the peak of Wangjianglou's business at night, and everyone was so busy. Doing some chores in the backyard, no one has time to chat.

When it was closed, everyone wanted to go home and sleep after cleaning up. Even if they chatted, they would just gossip. When they came back to work during the day, the janitor went home to rest. No one is familiar with his private life. They only know that he likes to drink, but he is not greedy, let alone whether he has any grudges with outsiders. Everything has to wait for the guy who went to his house to come back, hoping to get some news from his family members.

This group of most familiar partners didn't know that person very well, so Bai Kou had to go back to the backyard to tell the truth, and under Gu Yun's signal, he took out the two stacks of bank notes from his satchel.

The old club resolutely refused to accept the condolence money and asked Gu Yun to take it back. Gu Yun saw that he insisted, so he gave up, but the other party had to accept the hidden money.

"Old boss, this incident happened strangely. I had an accident first, and just after recovering from it, you have an accident again. It's not that I'm suspicious, but when I think of the things we know about someone trying to make trouble before, I can't help but feel a lump in my heart."

"Gu Shizi, what do you mean, the misfortune between the two of us was instigated by someone behind the scenes? This shouldn't be the case, the two of us cooperate in business, and the black market dealer has no clues, so I'm so angry that I want to burn my Wangjiang Lou and drugging you to make you addicted to drugs is so serious? The number of leaked orders is at most a few orders a month, and it is unstable. Sometimes there are only one or two orders in a month. Those who rely on leaks to support their families will starve to death. I You know, the black market merchants who used to guard the door of my restaurant and specialized in picking up leaks were just earning pocket money, eating and drinking for themselves, or buying flowers for friends."

"Maybe there is someone behind this black market dealer?" Gu Yun sneered.

"what?!"

The old boss was quite surprised, his heart jumped again, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

"I, Wangjiang Tower, have such virtues and capabilities that others hate me to the bone."
