The boss of Yixiangyuan broke out in a cold sweat and felt so guilty that his voice trembled when he spoke:

"I, I, I... don't know!"

Pei Qi sneered:

"A miniature camera was found in your restaurant box, and you told me you didn't know about it?"

"I really don't know! Maybe...maybe it was left by a guest!"

Seeing that the boss had no intention of telling the truth, Pei Qi stopped talking nonsense:

"Okay! If you don't want to talk about it here, then go to the police station with me and have a chat!"

Seeing Pei Qi take out the handcuffs, the boss suddenly panicked:

"No, no, no!"

"I said, I said it's not okay!"

The boss lowered his head and muttered the origin of the camera.

It turns out that it was not him who was voyeuristic, but the chef in his restaurant.

He especially likes to see the expressions of enjoyment on the guests' faces after eating the dishes he cooked, and to hear their compliments on how delicious the dishes are.

Therefore, his request on the first day of employment was to ask the boss to quietly install micro cameras in each box so that he could capture the most authentic reactions of the guests.

"How dare you invite someone with voyeurism?" Pei Qi frowned and said sharply.

The boss was startled and showed a helpless and regretful expression:

“I didn’t want to invite him at first, but the food he cooked was so delicious!”

As if thinking of the delicious food, the boss salivated and kept swallowing:

"You don't know, I have been running restaurants for so many years, and I have never seen a chef who can cook such delicious food."

Pei Qi: "So you kept him and satisfied his sick request?"

The boss nodded.

Pei Qi glanced at Jiang Li and then said:

"I will settle the score with you later. Now if you hand over the video data captured by the micro camera, you may be able to get away with it!"

The boss looked embarrassed:

"This……"

Pei Qi took out the handcuffs again: "If you don't cooperate, follow me to the police station!"

The boss was so panicked that he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no!"

"It's not that I don't want to cooperate. It's just that the video data is not with me. Tao Tie watched it himself, and we don't have voyeurism, so these cameras are connected to his mobile phone."

Jiang Li: "Is Tao Tie that chef?"

The boss nodded: "Yes!"

Hearing this name, Jiang Li suddenly thought of a strange beast recorded in his grandfather's notes for some reason.

Taotie?

Is it a homophone or...

Jiang Li's eyes flashed slightly: "Where is the chef?"

"He is not in the store. Every Sunday he takes time off to go home and make the soup base of our signature three fresh soup."

Jiang Li noticed that the boss seemed to have shiny soup hanging from the corner of his mouth.

He kept swallowing his saliva when he talked about the three delicacies soup.

She couldn't help but wonder, what kind of soup tastes so good?

"Boss, can you let us see this three fresh soup?" Jiang Li asked.

The boss smiled:

"Um...our three fresh soups cost ninety-eight thousand a bowl!"

"Ninety-eight thousand!!!" The little policeman following Pei Qi couldn't help but exclaimed.

"You are stealing money! What kind of soup costs 98,000?"

The boss was a little disdainful: "Young man, broaden your horizons. There are some ingredients that you can never imagine in your life."

Pei Qi: "I'm afraid you can't imagine the detention room of the police station, right?"

The boss immediately looked away, lowered his head and muttered:

"Even the police can't rob me by force!"

Jiang Li: “We’re not going to eat, but we’re just going to look at it!”

After much hesitation, the boss reluctantly brought out a bowl of Sanxian soup that he had hidden away.

It's served in a small porcelain bowl, with a layer of golden fat floating on the milky white soup. Just smelling it makes you feel delicious.

Jiang Li and the others are not big foodies, but they couldn't help but salivate when they smelled this smell.

"This soup looks really delicious!"

Zhuo Qianyue and Gong Xueer couldn't help but swallow.

Jiang Li looked at the more or less salivating expressions in other people's eyes, and his brows gradually furrowed.

She was not sure just now, but now she is sure that there is something wrong with this bowl of soup!

Grandpa's notes once recorded that in ancient times there was a ferocious beast called the Taotie, which was gluttonous and especially fond of human flesh.

After taking human form, he is good at making soup, using human blood and human flesh as the supplement and human brain as the main ingredient to make the soup, which is white, shiny and extremely delicious.

This looked like a normal bowl of three fresh soup, but Jiang Li felt a chill in his back.

The boss quickly covered the soup bowl:

"Police officers, I've seen this, so I'll take the soup."

Jiang Li looked at him with a meaningful smile on his lips:

"Boss, you should know where Tao Tie lives, right?"

Boss: "He lives at No. 98, Fu Selenium Road. It's an old neighborhood and the neighbors are all familiar with him. It should be easy to find him."

"Thanks!"

Jiang Li gave Pei Qi a look that meant he could withdraw.

After leaving Yixiangyuan, they went straight to the selenium-rich road.

It's really easy to find people in the old community. Most of the neighbors are uncles and aunts, and they are all excellent civilian intelligence agents.

When Pei Qi revealed his identity, the uncles and aunts all pointed to a house on the second floor.

The stairs were narrow, so Pei Qi asked Jiang Li and the three girls to wait below while he and his teammates went up.

"Captain Pei, actually I can help!"

Pei Qi looked at Jiang Li's thin arms and legs and gave her a stern look:

"Stand there and don't come up!"

Jiang Li shrugged and didn't insist.

Pei Qi and the others slowly approached Tao Tie's house.

The room was locked from the inside, and the aroma inside was dozens of times stronger than the bowl of soup brought by the owner of Yixiangyuan.

I just smelled it in Yixiangyuan and thought it was delicious, but now I smell it and I just feel disgusting.

There was even a hint of blood in this scent.

Pei Qi endured his nausea and knocked on the door.

Suddenly there was a bang in the room, as if something fell to the ground.

Pei Qi was about to kick the door open when he heard a voice coming from inside:

"Who?"

The door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man with pale skin looked out and asked:

"Who are you?"

Pei Qili showed his police ID: "Police, are you Tao Tie?"

The man smiled and nodded: "Yes! You are Captain Pei, right? The boss has already called me to tell me."

Pei Qi frowned slightly, that boss really wanted to stay in the bureau for a few days!

However, Tao Tie knew they were coming to find him but didn't run away, which really surprised him.

Tao Tie handed the copied video to Pei Qi:

"Those videos are all here. I admit my mistake about peeping, but can you please wait for me for a while? My soup has just been boiled. The fire must not be turned off, otherwise the pot of soup will be ruined."

Before Pei Qi could speak, the little policeman next to him said angrily:

"Tao Tie, do you know that you are committing a crime? You are still smiling playfully!"

"Come back with us and accept the investigation, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, the smile on Tao Tie's face had a strange coldness:

"What else?"

"I just asked you to wait for me for a while. It's not that I won't go. Why are you forcing me so?"

Pei Qi stopped his teammates who wanted to refute and asked Tao Tie:

"How long will it take you to make the soup?"

"It's going to be quick. We still need the last ingredient. It only takes an hour."

"Okay!" Pei Qi nodded.

"Two officers, please come in and wait!"

Tao Tie opened the door and invited them in, with a sinister smile on his lips.
