Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 113 Xunzi

“His working hours are probably in the afternoon or evening. He is likely an employee in the food court, clothing industry, or a three-shift job such as a security guard, KTV receptionist, or hotel receptionist.”

"This person disregards life, has certain antisocial personality tendencies, may have bad habits and behaviors such as drinking, stealing, and violating rules, has extremely poor self-control, is short-tempered, lacks a sense of responsibility and guilt, and the people around him must have a very bad impression of him."

"The fact that he poisoned food twice in a row was Xunji's products, which is targeted. This suggests that he may have had a conflict with Xunji recently. You can ask Xunji's employees carefully, or go to the market supervision bureau to check if there are any complaints about Xunji."

Wei Qingsong thought for a moment and then added, "It's also possible that the conflict wasn't about food safety, but rather a personal dispute with Xunji employees."

"The above is the psychological profile I have drawn based on the existing clues. The clues are limited and the scope is indeed a bit broad, but at least it can provide a clue for the investigation, so that we don't wander around like headless flies."

Chen Jin quickly wrote down Wei Qingsong's words with his pen, then nodded: "Understood, we'll go continue the investigation now."

"Also, report this matter to Director Wang and ask him to discuss it with the relevant departments as soon as possible, draft an explanation, and notify all convenience stores and supermarkets in the food court and surrounding areas to remove Xunji food products from their shelves and have Xunji Dim Sum suspend business from tomorrow." Lu Jingming lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before making a shocking decision.

Chen Jin looked surprised: "Removing Xunji's products from the shelves is easy, but can they cooperate by suspending Xunji's business?"

“That’s not up to them.” Lu Jingming’s expression was stern, his eyes cold. “Food safety is no small matter. Do they want short-term gains, or do they want more people to die and watch Xunji’s reputation be completely ruined? Let them decide for themselves.”

We cannot allow a third victim to emerge before we catch that cold-blooded and cunning poisoner.

If Xunji's management is smart enough, they will naturally know how to make the right choice.

Although a criminal psychological profile was created, it did not effectively narrow down the scope of the investigation.

After all, the catering and clothing industry workers, as well as the security guards and receptionists that Wei Qingsong mentioned, are everywhere in this huge food court, so we still have to ask and check each store one by one.

After going around in circles, they returned to the Starlight Restaurant.

Perhaps due to the impact of this incident, the restaurant visibly had far fewer customers and looked much quieter.

Given what happened, the fact that the business didn't close and was able to continue operating as usual is already a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

As you step into the restaurant, a melodious piano tune immediately fills the air.

Wei Qingsong paused to admire the music for a while, and only after the music stopped did she slowly walk over: "You seem to really like this piece. This is the second time I've heard you play it."

Xu Caihong's pretty face flushed slightly. She hurriedly stood up and lowered her head as if she had been caught red-handed: "Sister, what brings you here?"

“There are some issues I need to confirm with your manager.” Wei Qingsong didn’t elaborate, but asked calmly, “By the way, why didn’t you listen to my advice?”

Although Xu Caihong is young and has a strong physique, it is really not a good idea for her to shuttle between the school and the restaurant like this.

While abortion is indeed a minor surgery, it will inevitably have some impact on the body. Without proper rest, it can easily lead to some complications.

It wasn't that Wei Qingsong liked to meddle; she genuinely loved Xu Caihong's piano playing and felt that a young and promising musical girl shouldn't be ruining her body like that.

As a woman myself, it's hard not to feel a little pity for a girl like that.

"It's okay, sister, I'm not in any pain at all. I'll be jumping around again after the anesthesia wears off." Xu Caihong grinned innocently. "But I still want to thank you for your concern, sister. Here, have some candy."

She rummaged in her pocket for a while and handed over a White Rabbit milk candy.

Wei Qingsong hesitated for a moment, then took it and said softly, "Thank you."

She now roughly understands why the people at the restaurant call her "Little Rainbow".

It's not just her music that's infectious, but also her cheerful and lively personality.

If she hadn't gone through those experiences, she would probably be like Xu Caihong now, with a pure and beautiful heart, forever believing in romance and love, and willing to risk everything for love.

Xu Caihong secretly glanced behind her. From the moment he came in, Lu Jingming had not uttered a word, and his gaze had never left Wei Qingsong.

She giggled twice, leaned close to Wei Qingsong's ear, and whispered, "Sister, this policeman has been staring at you the whole time."

Wei Qingsong quickly cleared her throat and subtly changed the subject: "Okay, is Manager Zhang here? We need to confirm something with him."

“Manager Zhang went to the warehouse to check the goods. If it’s a restaurant-related issue, you can ask me. I come to the restaurant every day and know this place very well.” Xu Caihong said very seriously. “Uncle Cheng was so good to me. He died under mysterious circumstances, and I want to help in some way.”

Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming exchanged a glance, but neither of them refused.

She outlined the scope of the profile she had created, focusing on the suspect's personality traits.

Xu Caihong pondered for a moment: "We do have someone in our restaurant who sounds really annoying. We have staff dormitories, right? There are no security cameras in the dormitories, and several employees have reported that things have been stolen from them, and they all suspect that person is responsible."

“You’ve met that person before, he’s Ge Taining from the kitchen. He filled out an application form when he came for the job. Let me help you find it.” As she spoke, Xu Caihong walked straight to the front desk and expertly rummaged through the drawers for documents.

Upon hearing this familiar name, Wei Qingsong raised an eyebrow slightly.

On the day Cheng Dafu died, everyone was trying to exonerate Xiao Caihong, except for Ge Taining, who identified Xiao Caihong as the perpetrator.

Now the situation is reversed.

“Here, this is it.” Xu Caihong found the form, handed it to Wei Qingsong, and leaned over herself, pointing to the “Work Experience” section, and said, “Hey, but he wasn’t from the electroplating factory before. But thinking about it, it makes sense. He’s applying for a kitchen job. If he wrote that he was from the electroplating factory, we definitely wouldn’t have hired him.”

Wei Qingsong glanced through Ge Taining's application form.

In the education section, I filled in a high school.

As for work experience, all the information I filled in was related to Western cuisine.

"Isn't this 'Breeze' Western restaurant also in the food court?" Wei Qingsong stared at the words.

Xu Caihong nodded: "Yes, it's on that street in Phase II, very close."

Wei Qingsong said thoughtfully, "Actually, if he fabricated his previous work experience, you wouldn't verify it, right?"
