"I really don't know!" Xu Shiji shook his head repeatedly, pointing at the sack in the corner and said with a sad face, "Team Leader Lin, when I was boiling the chili water, I just held the sack and poured it into the big iron pot. How could I know when these oleander leaves got mixed in!"

Gavin Lin turned around and walked to the sack in the corner, poured all the remaining dried chilies on the ground, then squatted down and searched carefully, but he didn't find any oleander leaves in it.

In other words, oleander leaves are not originally mixed in with the dried chilies, but can only be added during the cooking process in a large iron pot.

"Xu Shiji, did you leave the kitchen while making the chili water?" Gavin Lin asked again.

"After I added the peppers into the big iron pot and opened the damper of the stove, I went downstairs to the interrogation room. Half an hour later, I came up and saw that the pepper water was ready, so I closed the damper of the stove and scooped the pepper water into the wooden barrel and carried it down." After Gavin Lin's reminder, Xu Shiji looked at Gavin Lin excitedly, as if he had received a shot of cardiac stimulant. "Team Leader Lin, could it be that within half an hour of my absence, someone sneaked into the kitchen and added oleander leaves to the big iron pot?"
