"What nonsense are you spouting? Stop talking rubbish! Damn it, are you out of your mind?" The man jumped up excitedly and cursed, pointing at Lin Fan’s nose.

The crowd was also very surprised. No way, did Lin Fan, after a bit of reasoning, actually identify this man as the murderer?

This man seemed to be the brother-in-law of the victim. Why would he do such a cruel thing to a little girl? It sounds incredible and hard to believe.

The woman couldn’t help but say, "Dr. Lin, could you be mistaken? Why would my husband do such a thing?"

The elderly couple were also shocked, as in their impression, their son-in-law would never dare to do such a thing.

The restaurant staff were pleased. If Lin Fan was correct and it was indeed the man who poisoned, then the restaurant would not be implicated, and they had been framed, so they could seek compensation in return.

Boss Fang, concealing his inner joy, said, "I told you it wasn’t a problem with our restaurant. I’ve been running this establishment for over ten years without such an incident. I’m also curious, why did he poison?"

Boss Fang, true to his reputation, didn’t say it outright but hinted that Lin Fan should intensify, hammering the man.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "As for his motive, he needs to explain that himself. What I can do is only prove he’s the one who did it."

The man was furious: "You’re slandering me! You’re just a doctor, and what, now you’re a cop too? Just because you say I’m the murderer, I am?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The male doctor, unhappy with Lin Fan, also chimed in sarcastically, "To be fair, this isn’t right. Solving a case should be the police’s job. It has nothing to do with you, right?"

Lin Fan wouldn’t tolerate rude remarks and retorted, "What does it have to do with you?"

The male doctor was taken aback: "You!"

Lin Fan chuckled, "Boss Fang asked me about the girl’s poisoning, and I was just addressing his question. After all, I am a customer here too, and I hope this matter ends quickly, not affecting my meal. I believe everyone present has been disturbed. As one among you, can’t I speak out? Boss Fang, what do you think?"

Boss Fang, smiling apologetically, said, "Mr. Lin is right. I am truly sorry for disturbing everyone during your meals!"

Lin Fan said, "Although I am indeed not a policeman, who stipulated that I couldn’t solve a case? You poisoned the soup, and by timing it, you haven’t had a chance to dispose of the tool. If we search now, we will surely find the bottle containing the pesticide."

The man angrily replied, "You know you’re not a cop, do you have the right to search my bag? Try touching my stuff. You’re invading my privacy!"

Lin Fan smiled, "Why are you so nervous? I didn’t say I was going to search your bag; I just said the bottle with the pesticide is still there."

The man yelled, "You’re slandering me! I’m not the murderer. I get it, you must be with the restaurant, trying to cover for them and pin the blame on me!"

Boss Fang said, "That’s not right. Dr. Lin is a customer of the restaurant; I didn’t know Dr. Lin before. Dr. Lin did this out of righteousness, so don’t go making baseless accusations."

Lin Fan calmly said, "The truth can’t be faked, and a lie can’t become true. If you want to prove your innocence, why not open your bag and let everyone take a look?"

The man sneered, "Why should I listen to you? Who the hell do you think you are? I’d like to see who dares to touch my bag!"

The man assumed an aggressive stance, as if ready to fight anyone who dared to touch his bag, indeed intimidating many.

"Can we do it?"

At this moment, a voice came, and everyone looked over to see two policemen walk in, one of whom was the Tall Policeman who spoke.

Lin Fan saw them and made a sound of astonishment. The world is indeed small, or rather Feng County is small. Aren’t these two policemen the ones who tried to arrest him in the restaurant the other day?

Back then, the two officers mistook Lin Fan for a suspect and wanted to arrest him, but Lin Fan, eager to chase the fleeing Yun Qingyao, took a hostage, forcing the officers to lower their weapons and let Lin Fan go.

Later, Lin Fan informed Loli of the situation, and she smoothed things over.

As for how Loli explained it, Lin Fan didn’t know.

The two policemen came in, recognized Lin Fan, and their expressions changed slightly. They clearly recognized him but then pretended not to, avoiding any more glances in his direction.

Seeing the police arrive, the man’s face changed, and he immediately became flustered.

"Officers, it’s a misunderstanding! You’re not believing this guy, are you? This guy is just a doctor, he’s talking nonsense, framing me!" the man said.

The Tall Policeman chuckled, "Since you’re not the murderer, you might as well stay calm. Don’t worry, we conduct routine checks on every suspect, starting with you!"

The man said excitedly, "Officer, how did I become a suspect?"

The Tall Policeman replied, "Do you really want us to re-run the reasoning? Even if we have to waste time to do so, the conclusion will be the same as this young man’s reasoning: you are one of the suspects."

The man said, "Then why are you targeting me?"

The Tall Policeman replied, "I said we’re not targeting you. We question all suspects. We’re just starting with you, so what’s the problem? If you’re truly innocent, what are you afraid of?"

The Short Policeman had already walked over, ready to inspect the man’s bag.

"Don’t touch my stuff!" The man was agitated and ran to grab his bag.

Seeing this, the Tall Policeman quickly sprinted forward, grabbing hold of the man.

"Let go of me! I’m being wronged, you can’t wrongfully accuse a good person!" The man shouted anxiously, struggling, but he couldn’t break free, being firmly restrained by the Tall Policeman.

"Don’t move, stay still!" The Tall Policeman said solemnly.

The Short Policeman had already approached, picked up the bag next to the man’s seat, and began searching through it. Quickly, the policeman found a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and sniffed it.

The Short Policeman immediately frowned and said, "It’s pesticide!"

What?

The crowd was shocked. It really was this man who poisoned!

The Tall Policeman said, "Do you have anything else to say now?"

With conclusive evidence, the man indeed had no room to argue. Just now, he desperately tried to grab the bag, an intuitive act to seize the evidence.

But against the two policemen, he was outmatched.

The Tall Policeman then retrieved handcuffs from his waist and efficiently cuffed the man, then allowed him to stand up.

"You are suspected of murder. I now formally detain you to assist with the investigation back at the station!" the Tall Policeman said.

At this moment, the woman angrily rushed over.

With a slap, she struck her husband across the face, angrily demanding, "Why? Why would you do this?"

The man, five finger marks now on his face, also emotional, shouted, "Why did I do this? Do you have the nerve to ask me? It’s because of you all!"
