Chapter 156 Shifting the Center of Gravity
The chef's hand didn't pause at all. When he was about to put the meat into his mouth, Cheng Shi reached out and knocked off the other man's knife.
When the chef looked at Cheng, he said doubtfully: "Detective, what are you?!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I suddenly felt that the meat was pretty good. I'm sorry to bother you, but you can leave now."
When the chef heard this and was about to ask what was going on, he was pulled out by the patrolman beside him.
After the patrolman sent him out of the patrol room, he turned back to the detention room. Cheng Shi stared at the two patrolmen in front of him carefully and said.
"You also saw what happened just now. The chef didn't know that the steak was poisonous. Otherwise, how could he eat it so calmly?
But if it wasn't him, it should be one of you two. Which of you poisoned me, please tell me directly now.
This person is very important to the Chief Inspector, so even if I torture you, no one will complain to you!"
When the two of them heard this, they both knelt down quickly. Their voices broke and they spoke in hoarse voices.
"Agent Cheng, I really don't know who poisoned me. Please don't torture me. I'm sure I won't be able to withstand the torture, so I'll just give in to it."
Cheng Shi looked at the two people who looked frightened and begged him to let go. After waiting for a while, he said to the patrolman who was buying vegetables.
"The chef is not the one who poisoned me, so it is most likely you or your partner. I can give you a chance.
I will report this matter to the chief detective one day later, so you have one day to find the person who poisoned you.
If I find the person who poisoned me, I will give him a hundred yuan. If I can't find him, you can explain it to the chief detective yourself."
After the two of them listened, they knelt down and thanked Cheng Shi. When Cheng Shi saw this, he said angrily: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go investigate the case!"
The two of them were shocked and quickly got up and ran out. There was nothing Cheng Shi could do, and he had no other options now.
The chef was not the one who poisoned the house, so it could have been anyone, and the two of them were parties to the case.
No one knows better than the two of them what happened, so Cheng Cai forced the two of them to investigate the case.
Cheng Shi could only pray in his heart that the two of them could find some clues, or wait for Francis to find out some clues, and then he would follow the clues.
Cheng Shi then thought about it, what should he do next?
Now Huang Jinrong has gone to the public affairs office, and Feng Tao is also busy with something.
As for the case of Albert's murder, he currently has no obvious clues, and he cannot investigate it publicly now.
Cheng Shi walked out of the detention room first, and then he decided to go to the place where Gong Yan was monitored to see if Deng Xin found anything.
After Cheng Shi arrived at the place, Deng Xin looked at Cheng Shi with wide eyes and said doubtfully.
"Brother Cheng, why did you come here so quickly? Is Albert's matter resolved?!"
Cheng Shi didn't want to say more about this and replied directly: "Although there was a small episode, I have already given that thing to the chief inspector.
That case is basically over, so I came here to see if nothing happened here?!"
Deng Xin saw that Cheng Shi didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask any further questions, and then answered Cheng Shi's question.
"It's still the same, but after he went out last time, he bought a newspaper on his way home."
Cheng Shi quickly asked: "What newspaper did he buy?!"
Deng Xin then said to the two people watching: "Brother Zhang, bring over the newspaper you bought with Gong Yan and let me, Brother Cheng, take a look."
Zhang Kai, who was far away, picked up a newspaper from beside him, walked to Cheng Shi and handed it over, saying, "This is it."
Cheng Shi took the newspaper and did not read it directly. Instead, he asked, "Did he buy it from a newsboy or at a newsstand?!"
Kaifeng was very confused about Cheng Shi's question, but he still answered: "He bought the newspaper from the newsboy."
When Deng Xin heard this, she didn't ask: "What's the difference between buying it from a newsboy and a newsstand?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Of course it's different. If I guessed correctly this morning, he has been passing on news to others.
If the newspaper was bought from a newsstand, there may be something wrong with both the newspaper and the person at the newsstand.
Because the newsstand is fixed, the person in the newsstand is also suspicious, but if he buys it from the newsboy.
This means that there should be a problem with the newspaper itself, because the newsboy is mobile, and there is too much uncertainty for him to get the news.
The other party probably wouldn’t use this method, so I speculate that they passed the information through the information in the newspaper.”
After Deng Xinkai and the two listened, they nodded to express their understanding. Cheng Shi then looked around, found a table and walked over.
Cheng Shi spread the newspaper on the table, and the three of them quickly stepped forward and started reading from the beginning. A long time passed.
The three of them finished watching. Deng Xin shook her head and said, "They are all normal content. I don't see any difference!"
Cheng Shi also shook his head and said: "Of course it's not that easy to see the problem, and we only have one newspaper.
It would be much better if there is another reference object, we can look for the same place, but if there is only one, it will be too difficult to find."
After listening to Cheng Shi's words, the two of them agreed. They didn't find anything special, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Cheng Shi still didn't want to give up. He thought about it and then said to Zhang Kai.
"I hope Brother Zhang can help me get some newspapers from this newspaper office, from yesterday to the previous ten days."
Zhang Zhang nodded and said: "I know, this is not difficult, I will be back in a moment."
After Cheng Shi opened his eyes and left, he walked to the window and looked at Gong Yan with a telescope. He was still sitting in front of the window, studying hard.
Cheng Shi shook his head and sighed: "It seems that he is ready to stay here for a long time, but I can't afford to spend time with him.
He is alone, but we have so many people here, so we must resolve his matter as soon as possible."
Deng Xin also nodded and said: "Yes, although these people are all elites under Li Jian, and they are also very obedient.
However, after being here for a long time, it is inevitable that you will become lazy. If Gong Yan ran away at that time, no one might find him."
Of course Cheng Shi knew this, so he just said that he couldn't afford it and wanted to resolve Gong Yan's matter as soon as possible.
Cheng Shi and Deng Xin then drank tea and chatted here. Not long after, Zhang Kai came back with the newspaper.
Zhang Zhang gasped and handed the newspaper in his hand to Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi said thank you for your hard work and put his energy on the newspaper.
Cheng Shi did not check the newspapers on the table this time. Instead, he placed them on the ground and slowly opened them.
Cheng Shi then arranged the newspapers in a neat row on the ground from left to right according to the date of issue.
Then he took the newspaper on the table in his hand, and then he started to read the first newspaper on the left, comparing them line by line.
After reading one side, Cheng Shi looked at the other side. Cheng Shi looked at it very carefully and refused to remove any doubtful parts.
When Cheng Shi saw the fifth newspaper, he stopped checking the fifth newspaper and returned to the fourth newspaper.
Deng Xin, who was staring at Cheng Shi, saw Cheng Shi's retreat and asked quickly: "What's wrong with Brother Cheng? What did you find?!"
