Tiger Police

Chapter 456 The Truth
A few minutes later, they came out of the bathroom, passed by the door of the hot pot restaurant, and walked towards the elevator.

A middle-aged man in a black uniform with a "manager on duty" nameplate on his chest stood at the door of the store, looking all the way here.Seeing Hu Pingtao and others approaching, he hurried up to meet them, blocking the way: "I'm sorry, please wait a moment."

Ding Jian asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

The duty manager looked serious: "I'm sorry, something went wrong. We are a cafeteria here. According to the standard, you only charged four adults for the meal just now. Because your two children are less than 1.2 meters tall, so They're free."

Yin Li took out the receipt and asked puzzledly: "We have already paid. Here, the bill is still here!"

The manager on duty explained: "According to the regulations, when dining in our restaurant, please use discretion when taking food, and don't waste it, otherwise you will be fined."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Hu Pingtao asked strangely: "We've finished eating all the food we brought! When we left just now, we asked the waiter to come over to look at it. Why do we say we will be fined now?"

The manager on duty looked a little ugly: "You poured the leftover food into the pot, so the waiter didn't notice it at the time. Because there was too much food wasted, at least more than one kilogram, so you have to make up for it."

"It's impossible!" Su Xiaolin cried out as soon as she heard it: "We have finished eating, there is nothing left."

Ding Jian was also indignant: "We have always paid attention to this when we eat, and there is absolutely no waste. One kilogram... Are you kidding me?"

The manager on duty looked a little displeased, and he tried his best to control his tone: "We don't want this to happen either. But this time too much food wasted, so you have to make up the difference."

If it was something else, maybe Hu Pingtao would have accepted it too.But he grew up in a military compound, and his father was strict in this regard, requiring that there be no leftovers for every meal. If he really couldn't finish the meal, he would save it for the next meal.

"The food we took is really finished, there is absolutely no way there is any leftover." He explained to the manager on duty seriously: "How about we go back and have a look?"

"Okay." The manager on duty nodded.

Back to the previous booth, the hot pot on the table has not been removed.

The manager on duty picked up a pair of chopsticks, stirred the pot, and picked up a lot of vegetables along the side of the pot: "Look for yourself! It's really too wasteful."

Several people were stunned for a moment.

A layer of slick oil on the surface of the hot pot blocked the view, and with chopsticks stirring, all the dishes hidden underneath were exposed: sliced ​​meat, yams, green bamboo shoots, tofu skin, duck tongue...there were so many piles, and the portions were astonishing.

The manager on duty didn't say anything nonsense, the weight of these dishes added together definitely exceeded one kilogram.

Hu Pingtao was a little confused. He clearly remembered that when he was about to finish eating, he used a colander to turn the pot around, and asked at the same time: Who is not full yet, do you want to go there to eat?
Fatty Ding, who usually has the best appetite, also said that he couldn't eat anymore.Already very full, very full.

Before he could speak, Su Xiaolin frowned and shouted: "Are you making a mistake? We've finished eating everything we brought, and the food in this pot is not our food, absolutely not!"

The manager on duty didn't understand all of a sudden, and subconsciously thought that the guests at this table wanted to renege on the bill, so he asked in an emphatic tone, "What do you mean by that?"

Hu Pingtao took a step forward, stood in front of his wife, and said seriously: "These dishes are not authentic. Someone deliberately poured them into the pot after we left."

Now the duty manager understood.He was a little stunned: "...how...won't it be?"

Hu Pingtao has been in the police station all year round and has encountered similar cases before.He raised his head, looked around, pointed at the surveillance camera on the diagonally opposite wall, and asked, "Can your surveillance work?"

The manager on duty looked in the direction he pointed, nodded and replied, "It works."

"Turn out the monitoring and take a look." Hu Pingtao said seriously: "If it is our responsibility, we can deal with it as we like, and I will compensate you a lot."

As he spoke, he took out his ID from his breast pocket: "I'm a policeman."

At such a time, the word "police" represents public trust, not to mention requesting surveillance surveillance is a normal and reasonable request.

In fact, when Hu Pingtao took out the certificate, the manager on duty felt that it was strange, but subconsciously wanted to refuse.After all, surveillance is not adjusted casually. If problems other than wasting food are found through the video, it may be difficult to end the matter by then.

But now it doesn't work anymore.

Hu Pingtao and others followed the manager on duty to go upstairs.

Looking at the time on the screen returning to more than an hour ago, Hu Pingtao said seriously: "There is no need to go back for so long, just go back to the time when we finished eating and were about to leave. I promise, we have finished eating everything on the table , there is absolutely nothing left. If you don’t believe me, you can read it later.”

The manager on duty gave an "um" and ordered the colleagues in charge of technology to continue operating on the computer.

The screen returns to when Hu Pingtao and others are about to leave—there are six people in the family, Su Xiaolin and Yin Li walk in front with their two children, Ding Jian picks up the coat placed on the chair, and Hu Pingtao carries A box of snacks bought in the mall, the two walked towards the exit together.

Just as they passed the corner of the food freezer, the middle-aged woman sitting at the table next to her suddenly stood up and directed the little boy to remove the inedible food on their table, leaving half a plate of food Pick it up and pour it into the pot at Hu Pingtao's table.

Seeing this, Su Xiaolin raised her hand to cover her lips, and made a surprised voice: "This woman...I remembered, she was sitting at the table next to us during the meal. Why...why is there such an operation?"

Yin Li curled her lips in disdain, pointed to the monitoring screen and said, "During eating, I noticed that something was wrong with that woman, and she kept nagging. Her voice was very low, but I still listened to her." Probably, anyway, we are using us as a negative teaching material, instilling all kinds of chicken soup for life into that child."

Ding Jian also nodded again and again, in line with his wife's point of view: "I heard it too. She said we took too much food and couldn't eat it, but she was the same way. We took a lot because of the large number of people, and Tiger and I both It can be eaten. Look here, beef and mutton, as well as crabs and shrimps, we all took several portions, but we ate them all in the end."

"No, let's rewind the picture, here it is———When we were leaving, the tiger scooped up the soup pot with a spoon, and I picked up the last piece of potato and ate it. I remember it very clearly!"

"This woman eats people and doesn't do human affairs! As soon as we left, she immediately poured the leftovers into our pot, and educated the children like this... Hehe, if we didn't meet, listen to others I really can’t believe it.”

Hu Pingtao raised his head and looked at the manager on duty who was standing diagonally opposite: "The matter is already clear, don't I need to say more?"

The manager on duty forced a wry smile on his face: "I'm sorry, this is our negligence at work, and it has delayed your time... How about it! I'll give you some meal coupons, and you can enjoy a discount if you come to our restaurant next time. .”

Su Xiaolin was also polite. She took the meal coupon from the manager on duty and handed it to Yin Li with a smile.

Leaving the restaurant, took the elevator to the gate on the first floor of the shopping mall, found the surrogate driver who had made an appointment on the phone, and several people came to the underground parking lot, ready to go home.

Before getting into the car, Yin Li stopped suddenly.She turned around and asked Hu Pingtao: "Brother Hu, why is this matter over? You don't plan to look for that woman?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and asked: "What if we find it? The food she poured into our pot adds up to a hundred or so yuan at most. Even if the restaurant has to fine it, it is only 50 yuan. There is no such thing as money." The law has reached the standard for filing a case.”

"But..." Yin Li was a little unwilling: "But from a legal point of view, she framed... no, she should frame us maliciously!"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "That's right, but the problem is that she has already run away. Based on the surveillance video in the hot pot restaurant, it is difficult to find someone, and even if she is found, she can only be educated verbally. Strictly speaking Said, it's not worth spending police force on this matter."

Yin Li still understands the truth, but her teeth itch with hatred: "Why should we make such a big scapegoat? Don't let me see her again, otherwise..."

Ding Jian put his arms around Yin Li's shoulders and shouted with righteous indignation: "When I see her again, I will rush up and hold her down, so that my wife can show your might."

Everyone present laughed.

No one asked exactly how to "show off the power", anyway, Ding Jian is the atmosphere group at this time.

……

Monday, normal work.

Hu Pingtao drove into the unit and punched his card, casually confessed a few words to Tan Tao, turned around and walked out of the office, and drove to the branch office.

According to the usual practice, a regular meeting will be held today.

At 09:30, Director Kong Weiyun walked into the conference room.

This kind of regular meeting is mainly to arrange the work of the week, and at the same time analyze and discuss the problems that occurred in each police station last week.In case of emergencies or major cases, deployments should be made according to the specific situation, and relevant personnel should be dispatched to assist.

Kong Weiyun's behavior in this regard is very similar to that of the former director Xiong Jie.There is no cumbersome opening remarks, directly into the key points of the meeting.After a few short sentences to introduce the situation, he immediately changed the topic, his tone and expression became serious.

"Last Wednesday, at nine o'clock in the evening, a murder case occurred at No. 530 Hongyun Street, which is the former dormitory of the Materials Bureau, in the Qingyuan Road Police Station's jurisdiction."

As soon as they heard the word "murder", all the participants from the police stations, including Hu Pingtao, pricked up their ears and concentrated their attention.

Yang Guangxin, director of the Qingyuan Road Police Station, also attended.Hu Pingtao is very familiar with him, and they have a good relationship with each other.He noticed that when Kong Weiyun was speaking, the director had an unnatural expression on his face, lowered his head, and sighed softly.

Kong Weiyun fiddled with the documents at hand, and continued: "At that time, someone called the police at 530, Unit [-], Building [-], No. [-] Hongyun Street, and our comrades rushed to the scene. The case is very simple. It is an ordinary dispute between husband and wife. , and then rose to the kind of mutual accusation, and then verbal divorce."

As he said that, he shifted his gaze to the head of the Qingyuan Road Police Station who had been lowering his head all the time: "Yang Guangxin, this happened in your jurisdiction, tell me about the situation at that time."

Yang Guangxin quickly stood up from his chair: "The basic situation is what you said, Ju Kong. I was on the night shift that day. According to the regulations, I sent a team to deal with it. But... But this matter is really not bad for me, and everything was fine at the time. Yes, I didn't expect..."

"There are so many things you didn't expect." Kong Weiyun interrupted him bluntly, then turned his gaze to the venue, and his tone became more severe: "It's the most basic principle for couples to quarrel, to persuade them to make peace and not to persuade them to leave. But At that time, the comrades who were in charge of handling the case rushed to the scene, and after listening to the statements of both parties, they said, "It is not convenient to intervene in this matter", and then let the couple solve it by themselves."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand and asked curiously: "Ju Kong, can you tell me what is the cause of the dispute?"

Kong Weiyun glanced at him: "The old man in their family is sick and hospitalized, and the various expenses add up to about 15 yuan. Because the old man is the husband, that is, the man's side, he asked his wife to take out 7 yuan, and the two sides pooled it together. Settled the hospital bill. But the wife refused, thinking that it had nothing to do with her, and could only give [-] yuan at most, and the other [-] yuan should be paid by the husband's family. Because there are many people in his family, there are two older brothers, There is also a younger sister below, and the hospital expenses of the old lady should be shared equally among the four siblings."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "That's right! The old people in their own family are responsible for themselves."

"It's true in theory, but some people just don't reason with you." Kong Weiyun frowned and explained: "I guess that husband must have concealed something. One person was in charge. According to the memories of the police who dealt with it at the scene, he had a very bad attitude at the time, and he kept scolding the woman, and scolded very badly."

"The specific details and how to deal with the case will be discussed later. What I want to say now is that just after finishing the record and signing by both husband and wife, our police left. Less than half an hour later, the neighbor of this family I called the police and said that I heard a cry for help from Room [-] next door, and then the door of the next door opened, and the woman rushed out, slammed on the neighbor's door, and said that the man was going to kill her. ”

"When the police arrived at the scene again, the door of Room [-] was opened, and the neighbor next door was also terrified, trembling and unable to speak clearly. When I went in, I found that the couple were dead."

"The criminal investigation team has seen the scene of the crime and is basically sure that it was the man, that is, the husband who started the attack. He hacked his wife to death with a kitchen knife, almost cutting off his head, and then turned the knife around and wiped his own neck."

Hu Pingtao felt very surprised: "Murder first, then commit suicide?"
