Luke asked, "Boss Li, what time does your supermarket usually close at night?"

"Nine a.m. to nine p.m."

"What time will the power outage last?"

"Ten o'clock at night to four o'clock in the morning."

"What time is the eucalyptus hair time?"

"The police don't know for sure, because this area is a commercial street and there are almost no people at night. Around six o'clock the next morning, the early shift employees came to work and discovered that the supermarket had been stolen.

Then he called me immediately and I called the police."

Luke wrote down the time, "Did anything unusual happen on the day the supermarket was robbed?"

Li Shanmei thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem like it. It's no different from usual."

"Has there been any theft in your supermarket before?"

"Yes, but it has always been petty theft in the past. This is the first time for a robbery like this. This is why I am afraid. If my employees and I are present, it may turn into a robbery, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Luke nodded, "You are right, there is indeed such a risk."

“Has there been any poisoning of eucalyptus in your supermarket before?”

"No."

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

"No, I am a slow-tempered person. To put it bluntly, I am a bit weak. I rarely conflict with others."

Luke took out photos of several victims of eucalyptus poisoning and asked, "Do you know these people?"

Li Shanmei looked at it carefully and said, "I don't know. Do they have anything to do with theft?"

"No, I'm just guessing."

After understanding the general situation, Luke and Xiao Hei began to check the surveillance of the supermarket theft scene.

how to say?

It was in disarray, with shelves toppled over and shops scattered all over the floor.

These thieves have no professional ethics.

They not only steal things, but also destroy things that cannot be stolen. It feels like an act of revenge.

At the same time, Luke could also understand why the police in charge of the case had been unable to solve the case. The main reason was that the scene was too chaotic and it was difficult to find valuable clues. Moreover, the supermarket had a large flow of people and it was not practical to collect biological test materials.

If there is monitoring during the operation, the hope of breaking the eucalyptus will be much greater.

In this case, you can only find another way.

Since there are no clues about the theft suspect, Luke is ready to start the investigation from the sale of stolen goods.

The suspect stole so many products from the supermarket that it was impossible to keep them for his own use.

After careful consideration, Luke focused his investigation on three people.

The first person was a former employee who was fired by the owner of Shanyuan Supermarket.

According to Li Shanmei, not long after Jiangnan Supermarket was robbed, this former employee who had been fired by Shanyuan Supermarket came to apply for a job. At the same time, in order to show his value, he also said that Shanyuan Supermarket had just hired a group of unknown origins.

Supply.

Judging from the time, the batch of unknown commodities obtained by Shanyuan Supermarket were probably stolen from Jiangnan Supermarket.

If the witness is a former employee of Shanyuan Supermarket.

Then the physical evidence is Kaffirla brand red wine.

According to Li Shanmei, this brand of red wine can only be sold in one of their supermarkets near the Korean community. It is impossible for Shanyuan Supermarket to buy it directly from the manufacturer. The red wine in Shanyuan Supermarket is probably stolen from Jiangnan Supermarket.

Two of the customers bought this brand of red wine at Shanyuan Supermarket and drank it to their stomachs. Luke planned to contact these two customers, who could indirectly provide physical evidence.

With the witness and physical evidence, it would be difficult for Osmond, the owner of Shanyuan Supermarket, not to admit it.

…

At seven o'clock in the evening.

At Shanyuan Supermarket, a sign was erected at the entrance of the supermarket saying that the product was being recalled.

The Weisen brand mineral water sold in our store has a sealing problem on the bottle mouth, so we have recalled it in batches and will be compensated ten times.

If the sign is placed in a conspicuous position, most pedestrians passing by will take a look.

Osmond, the owner of Shanyuan Supermarket, glanced at the brand, sighed, and returned to the store dejectedly.

As a supermarket owner, he is most afraid of quality problems, and he doesn't want to put up such a sign at the door, but he has no choice.

Back in the supermarket, looking at the sparse crowds, the flow of customers was much less than in the past. Osmond felt even more annoyed and disliked everyone, so he turned around and returned to the office.

In the office, the TV hanging on the roof suddenly broadcast a piece of news.

A female reporter stood at the door of the Detective Bureau, pointed at the Detective Bureau building and said, "Latest news, Director Reid of the Detective Bureau has just held an emergency press conference.

Recently, there have been several cases of poisoning of mineral water with eucalyptus in Los Angeles. There were two poisoning locations, one was the Los Angeles subway station, and the other was the Shanyuan Supermarket at 402 Savvy Street.

The mineral water that is currently known to be poisoned is Weisen brand mineral water. The specific method of poisoning is not yet clear. Please drink with caution.

Weisen brand mineral water is a product of Weisen Company. We tried to contact the person in charge of Weisen Company, but the person in charge refused to interview for the time being, citing a meeting.

We will continue to pay attention and follow up the reports..."

"Fuck!" Osmond yelled, slamming the table in anger, "Bang..."

It's still on TV. Everyone knows that there has been a poisoning incident in their own supermarket. Who will dare to come to their own supermarket to buy things in the future?

Osmond was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had worked hard to run this supermarket for many years, but he never expected that it would end up like this.

"Dongdong..."

There was a knock on the door outside.

Osmond was a little irritated and shouted, "Stop knocking, there's no one in the office."

"Creak..." The door was pushed open from the outside. Osmond's anger had risen. What idiot was so weak that he didn't want to do it anymore?

He was about to curse, but was stunned when he saw the person coming.

"Deputy Luke, Detective Marcus, why are you back again?"

Xiao Hei chuckled, "Let's come see you and give you some psychological counseling."

"I'm a tough guy and don't need this. Two police officers, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first. I just want to be alone now."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. We happen to have other things to talk to you about."

Osmond sighed and sat on the sofa helplessly, "Why did those damn bastards poison my supermarket? Why?

I’m really going to be pissed off.”

Luke sat across from the sofa and asked, "Do you want to know the identity of the poisoner?"

"Of course, have you caught the poisoner?" Osmond showed a hint of hope.

"No.

However, we have found some clues, and the purpose of coming here is to ask for your help. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to catch the poisoner."

"No problem, I'm willing to assist you. No one wants to catch the poisoning bastard more than me."

"When taking notes this morning, you said that you fired two employees half a month ago. Is one of them named Jacob Jones?"

"Yes, there is a man named Jacob Jones. Could it be that..." Osmond's eyes widened, as if he had guessed something, "That bastard was resentful because he was fired by me, and threw money into my supermarket.

poison?

By the way, it must be this bastard, he has been dissatisfied with me for a long time, and he is familiar with my supermarket, so he must have sneaked into the supermarket secretly to poison me, this bastard son of a bitch.

Two police officers, what are you waiting for? Go and arrest him quickly."

Xiao Hei was a little stunned, "You really have a rich imagination. But if it were solved so easily, there would be no robbery and murder department, let alone a murder case."

Osmond said, "Don't you think so? He has a motive and understands the supermarket. There is no more suitable prisoner than him."

Xiao Hei interrupted him, "Hey, pay attention to the way you speak. Why do you mean there is no more suitable prisoner than him? The investigation is based on evidence, not on your imagination."

Osmond asked, "Then why do you mention him?"

Luke continued, "According to Jacob Jones, before he left his job, there was a batch of unidentified goods in your store. Is this the case?"

"No, he is lying, he is taking revenge, this damn liar, I should not have hired him at that time.

It's hard for a lazy person like him to find a job. I gave him a job out of pity for him. If it weren't for my help, this guy would have become one of the homeless people.

I helped him, but he is ungrateful and just a shameless bastard. Do you think you can believe what this kind of person says?" Osmond showed an angry look.

"You're right. I never believe other people's words easily. I only look at the evidence." Luke changed the subject.

"Half a month ago, there was a case of poisoning in your store. At that time, a customer who was buying red wine got drunk.

According to you, the brand of those two bottles of red wine is Kaffirla. I have contacted this brand manufacturer and they do not supply red wine to your supermarket."
