Tiger Police

Chapter 22 Lost and Found
Hu Pingtao asked suspiciously: "Brother Fu, what do you mean, someone stole the abalone?"

Fu Yuehui nodded with a gloomy expression: "Although my club is a combination of eating, living and playing, but because of the unique dishes, the catering revenue accounts for the majority. Every quarter, the catering department and the warehouse management have to reconcile the accounts. The comparison of the last quarter's report shows that : The kitchen consumables and the storage data do not match."

"Last month as an example, the warehouse sent out more than 300 catties of four-headed dried abalone, but the data from the food and beverage department showed that less than [-] braised abalones were sold."

"In addition, there are top-quality dried shrimps, shark's fins, scallops and fish maws. There is a serious gap between the normal consumption of dishes and the distribution of warehouses."

Hu Pingtao was very surprised: "According to this, the amount involved is huge!"

Fu Yuehui sighed: "I calculated according to the cost price, these things are worth about 20 yuan. If it is the market price, it will be much more."

"Why didn't you call the police?" Hu Pingtao felt very strange.

"The catering department and warehouse supervisors are old people who have followed me for many years. When I started my business, without their help, I would not be able to get to where I am now. I doubted them, but there must be evidence for this kind of thing. And I quietly Come to think about it carefully, I have never treated them badly, and the salaries are very high in the industry, so they have no reason to guard and steal for this little money."

Fu Yuehui's tone sounded a little calmer: "It's really not easy to call the police. No matter whether they did it or not, once the police intervene, it will make people unable to step down. Because I can't ask the two of them to face-to-face. It can only be handed over to me for summary. Calling the police means distrusting them. Whether the number of 20 is too big or small, this matter is really tricky. It’s fine if they don’t do it. If things break out, it will really end badly.”

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly with understanding, and then another question popped up in his mind: "Brother Fu, you have many friends and connections. Even if you don't want to make the matter public, you can ask your police friends to help. I'm just a newcomer. How long have you been an auxiliary police officer, how can you arrange seniority, how can this matter not be my turn!"

Fu Yuehui exhaled: "Do you know Wang Xiongjie?"

"know."

"He is the elder brother of a friend's wife. And your director, Liao Qiu, we knew each other before he was transferred here. The quarterly report was sent last week. I called Wang the day before yesterday. Xiongjie, ask him for help. His statement is the same as yours: he didn’t call the police, so it’s not convenient for him to come forward. They can only do business."

"But both of them mentioned you. Liao Qiu said, you are an auxiliary policeman, not an official policeman. You can come over to take a look during your break. Wang Xiongjie said that you are very smart and have careful observation skills. If I really don't want to report the crime , it’s better for me to ask you to come and help find clues.”

Hu Pingtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Fu, you think highly of me too. I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter, because I have to go to work on weekdays, even if I rest on weekends, I have to rush to deal with emergencies in the office."

"So, it's better to come early than coincidentally." Fu Yuehui said with a smile: "Anyway, you've come here today, so just help me look inside and out. Even if I can't find the problem, I won't blame you. If it's just this If there is a discrepancy in the quarterly materials, that’s fine. But if it’s still the same in the next quarter, I can only choose to call the police.”

This was very clear, and since Li Song had already been hired, it was hard for Hu Pingtao to refuse, so he could only nod with a wry smile and agree.

……

Go upstairs to the office first and check the report.

It is indeed as Fu Yuehui said: the consumption of seafood, dry goods and ingredients, the data between the warehouse and the catering department do not match, and there is a big discrepancy.

"Brother Fu, I don't think this matter has anything to do with the catering department or the warehouse supervisor." After thinking for a long time, Hu Pingtao said seriously.

"Why?" Looking at his bright black eyes, Fu Yuehui's face was full of doubts.

"No matter any of them, if they start directly from the material, the traces are too obvious." Hu Pingtao's voice was very calm, still with a normal tone of conversation: "They are all old employees under you, Brother Fu, they should know The rules and regulations in the company. As long as the quarterly reports are compiled here, you can see the problem at a glance. So I think that the real figures recorded in these two reports are real."

Fu Yuehui suddenly realized.

The authorities are fascinated.

When he saw the quarterly report, he subconsciously thought that one of the two executives had done something wrong, and he didn't think about it from other aspects.Coupled with the close relationship between the two supervisors and Fu Yuehui, it was impossible for him to call the two together for a face-to-face conversation, so he could only guess secretly in his heart.

Compared with the loss of 20 yuan, Fu Yuehui values ​​human feelings more.

"It makes sense! Xiaohu, what you said is very reasonable!" A gleam of joy flashed across Fu Yuehui's eyes. Since it wasn't a trusted old employee who betrayed him, the matter was much simpler.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaohu, help me to find out who is playing tricks?"

Hu Pingtao thought for a while: "Brother Fu, this matter is very troublesome. You still have to make an appointment with the two supervisors to check every time the material is received between the warehouse and the catering department. This workload is a bit heavy However, it is not difficult to investigate, and I suggest that you better call the police."

"This..." Fu Yuehui gently stroked the rough stubble chin with his right hand, with a reluctant expression: "I really don't want to call the police, it will delay the business of the restaurant."

He is a typical businessman thinking.

I used to worry about old employees, but now I worry about the impact on business.After all, the loss of about 20 yuan is really not much for the "Shuihuahua" club. If it is not worried that similar things will continue to appear in the future, Fu Yuehui intends to give up and ignore it.

Hu Pingtao's upper lip was slightly raised, revealing some white teeth.He was a little dissatisfied with Fu Yuehui's attitude, but there was nothing he could do. If he had known this was the case, he would not have agreed to help investigate the case.

"Brother Fu, you should call the catering department and the warehouse supervisor over now." Hu Pingtao quickly cleared his mind and said seriously: "If you really want me to help you, just do as I say."

After a pause, he continued: "If you have other concerns, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Fu Yuehui looked embarrassed.

He really didn't want to make things big and wanted to solve it internally.

To be honest, he is a little annoyed at the moment. He has a net worth of tens of millions, but he is criticized face-to-face by a small auxiliary police... But when he thinks about it carefully, there is really no reason to refute it. After all, he invited him here on his own initiative. help.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Fu Yuehui finally dialed the phone and called the two supervisors.

Hu Pingtao briefly introduced the situation and presented two reports in person.The supervisors of the catering department and the warehouse were suddenly surprised, and they quickly said that they did not do it themselves.Fu Yuehui also comforted them, saying bluntly: "I know this matter has nothing to do with you, now I just want to find out who is doing it."

Next, the two department heads got busy.

Find all the documents and compare them, and check them one by one.

More than an hour passed, and dozens of receipts signed with the name of the docking party showed that the problem should be in the catering department.

Hu Pingtao pointed to all the documents laid out on the desk: "According to the normal process, the warehouse will deliver the goods, and the catering department will receive the goods. Every handover must be signed. There are four people in the catering department who are responsible for receiving the ingredients. It can be matched. So this link is very clear, and it also ensures that there is no error in the delivery of the warehouse.”

"The catering department receives the ingredients and sends them directly to the back kitchen for processing. This is the part that really needs to be checked."

Fu Yuehui stared at those receipts, thoughtful: "Could it be that the person receiving the ingredients from the food and beverage department guards and steals them?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head, and said bluntly: "Brother Fu, you can only send someone to investigate after you come down. This matter is very time-consuming, and I can't get involved at once. Whether it is the person delivering the ingredients or the chef, there are Some of them may be secretly left behind. This is why the warehouse shipments do not match the number of abalone sold that month."

The director of the catering department volunteered: "The problem lies in my department, let me do it!"

Fu Yuehui hurriedly said: "Don't make too much movement, check and check, it can't affect the normal business."

Hu Pingtao was very upset by his foresight, but he had to say something: "Brother Fu, let me give you a suggestion, don't investigate the suspects for now. Turn around and find the lost property first."

As soon as the words came out, Fu Yuehui and the two supervisors were stunned: "Xiaohu, what do you mean, those things are still in the clubhouse?"

"I'm not sure." Hu Pingtao said seriously: "I observed the structure of your clubhouse, Brother Fu, when I came here last time."

He walked to the bed and pointed to the parking lot outside: "There are walls on three sides, and there is only one entrance and exit. The walls on the left and right are outside the road, and there is a lot of traffic. The opposite wall is the Archives Bureau. This is a closed environment." , and Brother Fu, some of your employees live in the dormitory building of the clubhouse, usually go to work, and rarely go out. In this case, it is not difficult to find them, let's start with those who have to go home after work every day."

"In addition, Brother Fu, your clubhouse is equipped with surveillance cameras everywhere. You can check the surveillance, especially the back kitchen passage and the food preparation room, and you should be able to find it."

"Finally, check the access control at the gate of the clubhouse in the last quarter. The dried seafood worth 20 is not a small number. Even the most expensive abalone must be packed in a big bag. The statistics show The ingredients that come in and out also include sea rice and scallops. These two things have a strong smell, and you can smell it even through the packaging. I think that the person who stole the things went out from the gate of the club with a big bag that gave off a strange smell, and was on duty. The security guards will be more or less impressed."

This case is not complicated. If Fu Yuehui hadn't worried too much and called the police directly, it would take at most one or two days to figure it out.

The words made Fu Yuehui and the two executives very excited, and they could not wait to start looking for the lost property now.
