Alien landlady

Chapter 27 Design Framed
When December enters, the annual martial arts competition at the Military Academy will also begin. According to the old custom, a banquet will be held at a high-end restaurant in the city the night before the competition day. Only those who are eligible to attend For the children of aristocratic families participating in the aristocratic salon, the host is of course the presidents of the two salons. This is an old tradition. After the competition is over, in addition to the college's own celebration banquet, there will be another banquet outside the school, also to celebrate The coming of winter vacation.

This kind of large-scale banquet is only attended by young masters and ladies, and they don’t even bring their entourage. Bai Tongtong is very happy that she doesn’t have to cook dinner for one night, but she still buys some food and wine, and asks Naino to hold it together in Aini’s garden Outdoor BBQ.

The charcoal stove and the barbed wire for the barbecue are all prepared in advance. After washing and cutting all kinds of meat, they are all marinated with the special spices of the Principality of Tamil. Spread out in the garden and enjoy.

For the convenience of eating, Bai Tongtong deliberately picked up branches from the forest, peeled off the bark to make irregular wooden chopsticks, watched her sip meat and wine with ease, Hill, Su Di, Naino and the others could only use Grabbing the freshly roasted hot meat with his hands, one of Ted's knights had an idea and re-sharpened everyone's chopsticks to make wooden sticks, which saved trouble.

A group of people ate and drank, chatted, played cards, and bragged. The knights, who usually acted like gentlemen, revealed the truth after being drunk, but in the end, the wine was good. No one went crazy, and they were able to talk rationally. The kind who knew what he was doing, but in playing cards, he lost more and won less. Bai Tongtong became the final big winner, unceremoniously put all the bets into his purse, and then left the mess for the people behind him to clean up. , she went back to the kitchen to give Ah Huang the meat, and then went to cook assorted fruit soup for dessert.

When the three of Aini came back, Bai Tongtong and the others had already returned indoors, sitting around the dining table and enjoying delicious sweet soup. Hill went to open the door, and then heard her calling for help at the front door, and everyone dropped their bowls and rushed over.

Ani leaned softly on Ted's shoulder, her forehead was slightly wet, her face was flushed, and her skirt was stained with stains. Carjado leaned against the wall panting with a dirty robe, and Naino ran over and hugged Ani Get up, follow Hill and Bai Tongtong upstairs and put them on Ai Ni's bed.

Bai Tongtong took off Aini's dirty clothes and wrapped her in a quilt. Hill quickly lit the fireplace to warm up the bedroom, then went downstairs to fetch hot water to wipe Aini's face, while Bai Tongtong went back to the living room to ask someone to ask questions.

"What's wrong? Did you drink too much?" Bai Tongtong walked towards Carjado and Ted who were panting on the couch.Aini's face was hot, but it didn't look like she was drunk, but she didn't look like she was sick and had a fever, and her whole body was limp. When she asked her name, she couldn't speak clearly. No matter how you looked at it, she looked a little weak after being overjoyed.

Carjado and Ted looked at each other, as if they didn't know how to explain.

"What did you eat at the banquet tonight?" Bai Tongtong shouted in a deep voice, "Say!"

The busy people in the living room were startled and stopped what they were doing. Carjado and Ted jumped up in fright.

"No, the banquet is normal. Anina may have been murdered." Ted waved his hand quickly and said.

"Someone drugged her? A magician's banned drug?" Bai Tongtong handed Aini to Hill's care, and she walked towards the two boys with her arms folded, glaring at them aggressively, "Did she lose face at the banquet?"

The boys nodded quickly, "Everyone saw it."

"Just her?"

"Just her, everyone else is fine."

Bai Tongtong beckoned, motioning the boys to go to the restaurant for a chat with her.

After clearing away the unfinished bowls on the table, Bai Tongtong served them two bowls of sweet soup. The three of them sat at one end of the table, and the boys told the whole process of the banquet from beginning to end.

The seats in the restaurant are free seating, so Aini and the three of them sat in a row. From the beginning of the banquet to the last dish, it was normal. When the refreshments came, Aini suddenly behaved abnormally. I thought it was a fun show, and there were people playing with her, but soon found something wrong. A large number of magic elements gathered around Ai Ni and went out of control. It was cut into two pieces, she fell on the leftovers on the ground, and it looked like it was now.

Bai Tongtong rubbed his forehead, "Should I be glad that with Aini's current ability, I can only damage a big dining table? Who will pay for the loss of the restaurant? I will pay back the money when Aini wakes up tomorrow."

Ted pointed to Carjado who was drinking his soup with his head down.

"Tomorrow, this matter will definitely be known to the whole school. The magician banned drugs. Why do you drink beverages containing multi-scented tea?" Multi-scented tea is a common public drink. Put various ingredients such as dried flowers and fruits in it, and even add some medicinal powder with special effects. Magicians generally don't drink this kind of drink outside.

"Isn't the banquet organized by the noble salons of the two colleges a safe environment? Who would have thought that someone would put medicine in the allspice tea?" Carjado drank half a bowl of hot sweet soup in one go, and just felt comfortable all over his body. He breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gave Bai Tongtong a white look.

"Based on your experience, what kind of medicine might this be?"

"I don't know, I can't guess it. On the bright side, this must be the first time Anina has taken this type of drug, otherwise there will be no magic out of control." Kalljado said.

"The question is whether this matter is only aimed at Ai Ni, or is everyone indiscriminately a potential target? If you only drug one tea, whoever eats it will be unlucky? What is the name of the restaurant you are going to tonight? Eros Restaurant?" Bai Tongtong thought about going to the city tomorrow.

"If it's aimed at her alone, this idea is really stupid." Carjado sneered.

"Not necessarily. Magicians who have become accustomed to taking it for a long time will also lose control of their magic if they use a heavy dose. In the past, this trick was used to stimulate the fighting power of wizards on the battlefield." Ted had a different opinion, "As long as If you want to publicize it, Anina will become a negative image of drug addiction."

"Isn't this still an idiot? Who in the whole school doesn't know who Anina had indirect conflicts with this semester. Besides, next year the elders' house will be re-elected, hehe."

Bai Tongtong frowned, "Where is the elder's house?"

"Beside His Majesty." The boys said in unison.

Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes, "It's impossible to rise to the political level, right?"

"Believe me, it's hard to find pure noble students like me and Ted in the whole school." Carjado raised his chin, proudly putting gold on his face.

Bai Tongtong pursed her lips, "After eating, you all go back to sleep. I'll go to the city tomorrow morning to have a look."

"How do you check?"

"It's very likely that no one will be found."

"The meals are all cooked together, and then divided into small portions and delivered to the table. To prescribe medicine, you can only go from the kitchen to the dining table. Check the waiter first. The noble children reserve the banquet, and it is impossible for the restaurant to use novices or newcomers." Come make a fool of yourself, if a waiter suddenly leaves the restaurant tomorrow, it will save me trouble." Bai Tongtong sneered, "It's not easy for the spy who ordered Fen to steal documents to confess, but this kind of waiter who takes money to do things , give some more money and you can easily sell the secret."

"Well, good luck to you. If you succeed, remind me not to offend you." Carjado muttered.

Bai Tongtong returned a smirk, and turned his gaze to Ted, "Has the waiter serving your table changed from start to finish? Including when serving tea?"

The two boys thought for a while and shook their heads together, "No, they were always alone, but they didn't pay attention to their appearance."

"When the dishes are served, he always has to announce the names of the dishes and introduce the dishes, right? What does his voice sound like? Are there any moles or scars on his hands?"

"Ah, yes, voice, he introduced every dish when it was served. Although I don't remember his appearance, I can be sure that he was serving at the table all the time. It seemed that someone's steak was not satisfied at the time and returned it to the kitchen for a replacement. Ordered one." Ted tilted his head and tried to recall.

"Yeah, yes, Sura's steak, hers was a bit overcooked, and there was no blood, so I returned it to the kitchen and made it again." Carjado also remembered, and followed up to add.

"Look, there are clues here. Now there are three hypotheses, one is aimed at Ai Ni, the other is to see who is unlucky indiscriminately, and the other is that the target is someone else who Ai Ni has suffered on behalf of. I want to know for you Is the waiter for the dishes always in the restaurant? Is there another waiter responsible for taking the dishes from the kitchen to the restaurant? Whether or not there are three other possibilities, one is for Ai Ni; two is no difference; Three, there are other goals; four, the waiter and the waiter colluded to harm Ai Ni." Bai Tongtong counted her thoughts to the boys with her fingers.

"If you put it that way, things get more complicated." Ted bit his spoon and listened dumbfounded.

Bai Tongtong raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to ruffle Ted's neatly combed soft hair, "Boldly assume, carefully verify."

"The waiter seems to have never left the table, serving food, removing plates, pouring wine, pouring water, changing dishes, picking up napkins, and picking up seasoning bottles. People keep asking for this and that, and they come as soon as they are called." After eating an extra bowl of sweet soup, my brain regained its vitality, and the more details I recalled, the more I remembered.

"So, I seem to see a small trolley when serving food." Ted frowned, not sure, he couldn't remember how he paid attention to this.

"Okay, you all did a good job. The details are almost enough. I will ask Ai Ni the rest tomorrow. You are all tired tonight. Go back to rest early after eating."

The boys did so, and after a few minutes took their leave with their entourage.

Bai Tongtong went upstairs to check on Ai Ni's condition, she had already fallen asleep, the effects of the medicine had worn off a bit, her face looked much normal, not so abnormally red.

With Hill watching over her, Bai Tongtong went downstairs again to clean up the mess inside and outside the restaurant, leaving Ah Huang a warm fire that could last until dawn, washed up hastily, and fell asleep.

The next day happened to be Sunday, and most of the students from the Academy of Magic would go to the next door to watch the annual competition. Aini refused to get up after waking up, her face buried in the quilt, feeling extremely ashamed of last night's accident.

It was Hill's responsibility that Bai Tongtong didn't waste time with her under the quilt. She forcibly pushed back her quilt and asked about the details of the waiters at the banquet last night, which confirmed what Ted and Carljado said. The more you can find the right person sooner.

Like everyone else, Ani didn't pay attention to whether the waiter was always there, only knowing that the waiter would appear at any time when the people at the table needed anything.

Bai Tongtong wrote down all the clues she had on paper, and asked Hill to take good care of Ai Ni, and she immediately set off to the Eros restaurant in the city.

As one of the most popular high-end restaurants for the upper class in the city, Eros Restaurant, which has been passed down for three generations and still has excellent taste, can be regarded as well-known. In addition to the main restaurant inherited by the eldest son, the other sons of the first generation owner They each inherit a branch store, and each store has its own seasonal signature dishes and unique flavors. The salon banquet last night was the main store.

It was around ninety o'clock in the morning when Bai Tongtong went around the back door in a carriage, just in time for the furniture store to deliver the big dining table, and the restaurant manager's assistant was handling the matter outside.

Bai Tongtong walked over and introduced himself to the assistant. As soon as the assistant heard the surname Drago, he knew why the female mercenary in front of him was here, so he asked her to wait by the side first, and he had to look at the new dining table first. Put it in the right place.

"Sorry, sir, you just need to tell me the names of the waiter and waitress who were in charge of Miss Drager's table last night." Bai Tongtong quickly shook the two 10 denomination silver coins in his fingers.

The manager's assistant only hesitated for a blink of an eye, and stretched out his left hand under the cover of the hem of his clothes.

Bai Tongtong put down a silver coin in his palm.

The assistant followed the people from the furniture store into the restaurant, and a few minutes later he brought out two men, a stable uncle in his 40s, who was in charge of restaurant service; and a young man in his 20s, who was in charge of delivering dishes.

Bai Tongtong did not immediately pay another silver coin to the assistant manager, but took out two 5 denomination silver coins and talked the two waiters separately.

With the help of the manager's assistant, it was quickly confirmed that the uncle was indeed serving the table all night. According to the restaurant's regulations, a waiter like him only needs to manage the table assigned to him, and other colleagues will handle other matters.

Therefore, Bai Tongtong focused on Chuancaisheng, and forced him to ask him why he gave the medicine.

At first, the passer didn’t admit that he had given the medicine. He was not the only passer in the restaurant, but the uncle proved that the last refreshment last night was delivered to the table he was in charge of with a trolley. .

"He pushed the car over, and he was the one who followed me when the food was served. I passed the dim sum and tea to me, and I put it in front of the guests, and then I saw that the young lady had an embarrassing accident." The uncle did not hesitate. He sold his young colleague if he wanted to, so he didn't want to piss off this female mercenary in front of him who knew it was easy to mess with just for the sake of a worthless friendship with a colleague. His wife and children depended on him for their livelihood.

The manager's assistant couldn't hide the surprise and nervousness on his face, and his head was spinning rapidly. If it was proved that someone intentionally put medicine in the food and drink to harm people, the reputation of his old shop would be completely ruined.
