How did you, a gangster, end up in the police force?

Chapter 493 Mandy Cake

When the waiter saw a customer like Qi Shan, he took the initiative to come over and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, what flavor do you want? We can sell it piece by piece or as a whole."

Qi Shan swallowed and for the first time since becoming a police officer, she reluctantly took out her ID and said, "Police, we have something to ask you."

The waiter didn't expect that the visitor was a policeman. He thought it was the leader bringing employees to buy cakes.

She nervously shouted to the backstage, "Manager, there are...there are police."

Ye Lin's face turned dark. "Sister, what do you mean there are policemen?" It makes it seem like we policemen are bad guys.

The manager was selling cakes and his hands trembled noticeably when he heard about the police. The police were not a good thing for the store.

"Hey guys, I'm the duty manager of this store. My last name is Mei. How can I help you?" The manager is also a beautiful woman in her 30s who looks very capable.

"Manager Mei, can you take a look at this cake and see if it's from your store?" Ye Lin took out his cell phone and found the photo of Liu Ying's leftover cake, as well as the photo of the packaging box.

Manager Mei looked at it carefully and nodded, "It's from our store, this is the one that sells very well."

She pointed to a cake in the window. It was indeed the same one Liu Ying had eaten. It looked very tempting, but the price was also very attractive: 79 yuan.

Such a small piece costs 79, which surprised Ye Lin.

"Have you seen this person?" Ye Lin turned to Yang Hua's photo.

I thought there were so many customers here that Manager Mei might not be able to remember them all, but unexpectedly, she recognized him as soon as she saw him, "Oh, this is Lawyer Yang, he comes here often to buy."

"He likes to buy this one. In order to save a little money, he even applied for our membership card."

“Does that mean there is a record of his purchases?”

"Yes, I'll pull it up for you. Please wait here for a moment." Manager Mei sat down with the three people. She was really nervous with three policemen standing there like this, as it had a great impact on the store.

There are several seats in this store for dine-in customers.

Manager Mei went to print Yang Hua's purchase record. Ye Lin pointed at the cake in the window and said to Qi Shan, "It might be poisonous. Do you want to eat it?"

"Eat!" Qi Shan said without hesitation, as if she showed up for the food.

Yu Haifeng was also speechless, "Linzi, buy some for her and see how much she can eat?"

"Fuck, Captain Yu, why don't you buy it for her? It's so expensive."

"You just cost me a meal of beef. My pockets are empty than anyone else's this month, yet you still asked me to buy some? Anyway, you have the money, so just buy it." Yu Haifeng was still brooding over the beef hotpot.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it."

"Sister Shanshan, you choose it yourself and I will pay for it." Ye Lin waved his hand generously.

Qi Shan jumped out happily, "This, this, and this, three pieces each."

"You'll be full to death, three pieces." Ye Lin was speechless.

Soon, Manager Mei printed out Yang Hua's purchase records, a very long list.

Ye Lin saw the earliest time, which was about five years ago, and then Yang Hua spent several thousand yuan in this cake shop every year.

The most popular one is the one he bought for his lover yesterday. He buys it almost once a week.

"Lawyer Yang is an old client of ours and has bought a lot from us."

"He's a good man. His wife is in the late stage of cancer and she particularly likes to eat our cakes, so she comes to buy some whenever she has time." Manager Mei explained. She still hasn't realized what the police are investigating.

Ye Lin raised his head and looked at her calmly, and said slowly: "According to the purchase record, Yang Hua bought a piece of this cake in your store yesterday."

"Oh, yes." Manager Mei said affirmatively.

"Someone ate the cake Yang Hua bought from you yesterday and is now unconscious in the hospital." Ye Lin said.

Manager Mei's eyes suddenly widened. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she began to wave her hands repeatedly, "Impossible, our cakes are all made and sold on the same day, there will definitely be no problem of spoilage."

"It's not spoiled, it's poisonous. There's poison in the cake." Ye Lin emphasized again.

"This... this is even more impossible. We have strict procedures in place. How could it be poisonous? Officer, it definitely isn't our cake that's at fault." Manager Mei began to defend herself in a low voice.

"Besides, we sell nearly 100 cakes of this type a day. If we poisoned it, it's impossible that only Mr. Yang bought the cake with problems. It must have been the problem after he took it out."

In fact, Ye Lin also knew that, generally speaking, if there was a problem in the production process, it would not be just one piece, and it just happened to be Yang Hua's piece.

"I want to check the surveillance footage to confirm the purchasing process, and I also want to take a look at the entire production process." Ye Lin said solemnly.

"Sure, I'll arrange it now. Police comrade, you must trust us. We would never sell poisoned cakes."

Manager Mei is now afraid that this matter will get out. If it gets out, the reputation of their store will be ruined.

So she enthusiastically invited Ye Lin and the other three to come in for a visit.

The kitchen was just as she described, making and selling food on the spot. Some people were baking the cake base, while others were adding cream and fruit. Everyone was busy and working together.

It's not impossible to poison someone in a place like this, but it feels a bit risky because the entire workshop is not very big, but there are people working all the time, and it's hard to ensure that no one will see you poisoning someone.

After the finished product is made, it is cut into pieces here and then packed into boxes and sold outside. The entire process is open.

"Officer, we have very formal operating procedures here. The situation you described is impossible." Manager Mei explained to Ye Lin and Yu Haifeng while comforting herself.

"We will assess whether there is a problem or not." Ye Lin replied calmly.

Overall, he felt that there was little possibility of problems in this link.

"Captain Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Haifeng also had the same opinion, "We understand the situation. We will go back first. If there is anything we need cooperation with later, we will contact you."

"Okay, okay, we will cooperate." Manager Mei was so happy when he heard that these killers were leaving.

On the way back, Qi Shan was enjoying her cake, Ye Lin and Yu Haifeng were discussing the case, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"For the time being, there should be nothing wrong with this store. The cake must have been poisoned by Yang Hua." Ye Lin deduced.

"I think so too. There must be something wrong with this Yang Hua."

"Let's go back and interrogate him again. I don't believe he can be so stubborn." Ye Lin said bitterly.

As he spoke, Ye Lin suddenly had an idea.
