Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Poisoning (2/2)
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, “The gentleman is quite particular!”
After placing a few more dishes down, the woman got up and gracefully left.
[SYSTEM WARNING]
An urgent alert suddenly sounded, followed by a flood of information in Chen Yu’s mind, along with a three-dimensional topographical map of the area.
There was an ancient cemetery on the mountain, which included several new graves.
The system had extracted details from inside the tombs during its scan, and when Chen Yu saw the images in his mind, he immediately became unsettled.
The bodies interred in these graves hadn’t been buried long and were highly identifiable.
Chen Yu recognized at a glance that these were the young girls who had recently disappeared.
Moreover, two of them seemed to be related to a counterfeiting case.
However, Chen Yu did not act rashly; instead, he sat there leisurely eating his vegetarian meal, while his gaze occasionally swept over the two burly men.
After the two had their fill, they left the pagoda and meandered down the mountain path, only to head straight for the cemetery behind.
Chen Yu immediately sensed something was amiss. Just as he prepared to get up and check, the woman from before floated out again and placed a bowl of noodle soup in front of him.
“The gentleman seems unfamiliar, what do you do?”
Chen Yu managed to squeeze out a slight smile, “I’m in the catering business. Is it just you alone here in this pagoda?”
The woman nodded, “I’ve been practicing here for many years, always by myself.”
“Then you must be careful, Suzhou City has not been peaceful lately!”
As soon as he said this, Chen Yu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In the wilderness, within an ancient pagoda, lived a solitary woman. During the day with tourists, it was fine, but at night or other times, it was just her alone.
Even if she had a strong mental resolve and firm beliefs, as a woman living alone in this desolate place, she could not possibly be without fear.
“It is a peaceful and prosperous time now! How can you say that it’s not peaceful outside?”
The woman asked as if jokingly, then prepared to rise and leave.
“Wait a moment!” Chen Yu suddenly called her back, “If I’m not mistaken, this seems to be shrimp porridge. Such a pity that there are too many shrimp shells in it, and it’s even made with oranges.”
The woman’s body suddenly froze, “What do you mean by that, sir? This porridge is a kind gesture for you, is there something wrong?”
Her words sounded utterly innocent as if Chen Yu was the one who had erred.
But anyone in the catering industry knows that shrimp shells contain large amounts of arsenic, which, when mixed with the vitamins in oranges, can form arsenic trioxide.
And that substance is the main component of arsenic poison!
“If I’m not mistaken, those two men just now must be your underlings. They probably went to the cemetery to deal with a fresh body for you!”
The woman’s body shook violently, with emotions rapidly shifting in her eyes.
