Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

"No."

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

"No problem, I am willing to help you, no one wants to catch the poisoning bastard more than I do."

"During the statement this morning, you said you dismissed two employees half a month ago, one of them being Jacob Jones."

"Yes, there was someone called Jacob Jones. Could it be..." Osmon's eyes widened as he guessed at something, "That bastard, because he got dismissed by me, bears a grudge and poisoned my supermarket?

Right, it must be that bastard. He has always been dissatisfied with me, and he is familiar with my supermarket. It must have been him sneaking into the supermarket to poison, that son of a bitch raised by a dog.

Officers, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and catch him."

Little Black was somewhat stunned, "Your imagination really is rich. But if solving the case were that simple, there would be no need for the Robbery and Murder Department, and there wouldn't be any cold cases."

Osmon said, "Don't you think the same? He has a motive, and he knows the supermarket. There's no one more suitable to be the perpetrator."

Little Black interrupted him, "Heh, watch how you speak. What do you mean 'there's no one more suitable to be the perpetrator'? Investigations speak with evidence, not your conjectures."

Osmon countered, "Then why did you bring him up?"

Luke continued, "According to Jacob Jones, before he left, there was a batch of goods of unknown origin that appeared in your store. Did this happen?"

"No, he's lying, he's seeking revenge, that damn liar. I should never have employed him.

It's hard for lazy people like him to find work. I only gave him a job out of pity. Without my help, that guy would've become just another homeless person.

I helped him, but he wasn't grateful, just a shameless bastard. Do you think you can trust what people like that say?" Osmon showed an angry expression.

"You're right, I never easily trust what anyone says. I only look at the evidence," Luke shifted his tone,

"Half a month ago, there was already a poisoning incident in your store. At that time, customers who bought red wine had stomach troubles.

According to what you said, those two bottles of wine were the brand Kafila. I contacted the brand's supplier, and they have never supplied red wine to your supermarket."

Osmon's complexion changed slightly, "You remembered it wrong. The red wine I mentioned wasn't that one."

"Your evasive answers are useless. I contacted the two customers who bought the wine using the number you provided. Both confirmed the wine brand was Kafila. Explain to me, where did those two bottles of wine come from?"

Osmon looked nervous, his head lowered, fingering his nails, "I... there might have been some misunderstanding."

Luke warned, "Osmon, the police aren't fools. Don't think about fobbing us off with lies. If you tell one lie, you will have to cover it up with another. Too many lies will fall apart on their own."

Osmon's head remained lowered, his expression unclear, but his hands could faintly be seen trembling.

Little Black dug in his ear with his finger, "Since he's not willing to talk, gather all the staff outside and take statements from each of them.

Although the method is crude, I believe it will yield some results."

Luke said, "Osmon, you heard that, right? I am giving you a chance. If the employees point you out, the charge will only be heavier on you."

"I... I will tell you, I will tell you everything," Osmon took a deep breath, pinching his temples forcefully and said helplessly, "You're right. I did purchase a batch of goods of unknown origin.

I was just looking for a bargain, not realizing it would cause such trouble."

Luke took out a list of stolen items from Jiangnan Supermarket, "Are these the goods you purchased?"

"That's right, they are roughly the same as the goods on this list. Where did you get this? Did that bastard Jacob give it to you?"

Luke did not respond to the question, pressing on, "Where did you get this batch of goods?"

"I bought them."

"Who is the seller?"

"Rocky."
