Tiger Police

Chapter 98 Dog life, higher than human life

On the opposite side, a woman said coldly: "If you have a dog at home, you can buy whatever you want, no one cares about you."

Zhang Ming said angrily, "What qualifications do you have to set rules?"

The woman sneered: "Anyway, you only have two choices, either get a dog, or get out!"

Furious Zhang Mingchong was about to rush over and tear the woman's mouth open on the spot, but Hu Pingtao stopped him in time.

While pulling him, Hu Pingtao frowned and asked the security guard standing next to him: "Why do they restrict the personal freedom of other residents? Don't you care?"

The security guard looked a little embarrassed, and his voice was very low: "We are property management. If the residents don't pay the fee for this, there is nothing we can do. There are many people raising dogs in Yunshanyuan, and we are also embarrassed!"

Hu Pingtao didn't argue with him. He stepped forward, glanced quickly across the crowd, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Respect and decency, fairness and justice, rule of law and civilization should never be just a sentence. Slogan. Everyone has his own self-interest, but whatever the reason, the laws of the country must be obeyed."

"You can't restrict his freedom." Hu Pingtao turned sideways, pointed at Zhang Mingchong and said, "The nature of this matter has changed, and it is no longer a customary civil agreement. Your actions have violated the law."

The old man's attitude is still arrogant: "What if my dog ​​is poisoned to death by him? You pay!"

Swearing, Hu Pingtao has never been afraid of anyone, he retorted: "Isn't your dog still alive! You open your mouth with the word "death", I think you are cursing it to die at any time, if it happens You can't depend on others."

"As for today's matter, as long as people go to the court to sue, they will be sure!" Hu Pingtao continued: "You are too much. What is neighbor harmony? For your own dog, restricting other people's freedom, this What is it?"

As a result of the mediation, the dog owners gradually dispersed.

Watching Zhang Mingchong sign the notebook, the community security guard whispered to Hu Pingtao: "Actually, it's the old man with the golden retriever who picks up the troubles. It happens every time."

Hu Pingtao glanced at him: "You can report the problem to the community and the street office, and they will help solve it."

The security guard nodded: "Okay, I'll tell the company later."

Hu Pingtao turned around and said to Zhang Mingchong: "Don't worry, you are responsible for this matter. If a similar situation happens again, you should call the police directly. However, I suggest that you prepare in advance. If they still hold such an attitude, you'd better Take the judicial route and appeal."

Zhang Mingchong nodded with a heavy expression, and sighed: "I never thought that such a mess would happen when I just moved here. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bought this house."

In this regard, Hu Pingtao can only comfort.

……

On the way back to the institute, I received a call from Hu Biyuan.

"The matter has been resolved. The Department of Commerce has held a meeting and decided to fire Dong Zhiheng."

Hearing this news, Hu Pingtao's mood improved slightly: "Thank you, sister."

"We're all a family, what kind words are you talking about!" Hu Biyuan said with a hearty smile on the phone: "I think this is a good thing."

"Why?" Hu Pingtao asked strangely.

"Think about it! If Su Xiaolin wasn't pretty, how could Dong Zhiheng have worked so hard to get her?" Hu Biyuan's thinking was indeed different from ordinary people: "This shows that you have a good eye and are good at chasing girls."

Hu Pingtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, how can you talk like that?"

"What I'm talking about is the truth." Hu Biyuan said carelessly: "By the way, I told you about this. I called my father and mother yesterday. My father is busy with work and can't come. My mother has been in Zhaoshi. I asked for a public holiday, and came here tomorrow just to see the daughter-in-law she has been thinking about."

Hu Pingtao blurted out, "Tomorrow? I have to go to work!"

"Anyway, you can figure it out yourself! You can go to work when you have to go to work, but you must come out for dinner at night." Hu Biyuan said: "I have already booked a seat at "Shuihua", which is Boss Fu. You can call Linlin, it's best to ask her parents to come over together, so we can meet up."

Hu Pingtao felt the cold sweat dripping down his back, and quickly explained: "Sister, this is too fast, we haven't developed to that point yet."

"Hmph! Just make it up!" Hu Biyuan sneered on the phone: "You think I don't know anything? You have been to Linlin's house, and Linlin and her mother have also been to your house in Peninsula Jinyuan. Both At this level, you actually told me that I didn’t develop to that point?”

Hu Pingtao's face was full of disbelief: "How do you know?"

"Peninsula Golden Garden was bought by me, okay?" Hu Biyuan said bluntly: "I handled all the procedures for that house, the person in charge of the real estate project is my friend, and the property management company belongs to him. He will tell me if there is any trouble. Hehehehe... Don’t say that it’s the idlers waiting to go in, even if you stay in the house and make small moves, I know everything.”

This is a bit exaggerated, and the threat is greater than the reality.

Hu Pingtao sighed: "Sister, don't be like this, I feel like I am a transparent person in front of you."

Hu Biyuan was very pleased with what she heard: "I'll make some arrangements tomorrow night and go out for dinner. I have something else to do, so let's not talk about it."

She hung up the phone.

……

In the afternoon of the second day, "Flowers in the Water" restaurant.

The decoration of the private room is antique and the environment is elegant.

Li Jinglan looked at Su Xiaolin who was sitting across the dining table with a smile, her face was full of satisfaction.

Su Xiaolin specially dressed up today.

The long white dress showed her slender figure, the long hair scattered into the shawl exuded lightness and smoothness, the well-groomed eyelashes were long and curly, and the ruddy lip gloss made the whole person look radiant.

Su Mu and Chen Jun sat next to each other, looking at Hu Pingtao with admiration.

Instead of his uniform, he changed into a civilian suit. T-shirt and sports trousers, with sharp edges and corners, and cast-iron-like muscles protruding from the high-elastic fabric, exuding a male-specific fitness atmosphere from top to bottom.

Hu Biyuan never misses such occasions. She has always acted as a middleman and introducer, and this time is no exception.

The "Shuihuahua" restaurant has a lot of dishes. Hu Biyuan didn't choose the abalone and sea cucumber that she often ordered when meeting guests, nor did she choose the exquisite workmanship and time-consuming "Buddha Jumping Wall". side dishes.

On such an occasion today, only hot things can quickly adjust the atmosphere.

The action of peeling lobster shells requires the coordination of hands, eyes, and brain. With the stimulation of spicy taste, the brain's thinking will quickly become active.

Hu Biyuan has always believed that spicy crayfish should only be chosen for meals between relatives and best friends.

The same is true.

After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table quickly became lively. Li Jinglan simply switched places and sat with Chen Jun, calling each other sisters.

Su Mu put his arms around Hu Pingtao's shoulders, and the relationship between the two seemed more like brothers than Lao Taishan and his son-in-law.

Hu Biyuan and Su Xiaolin were whispering and laughing, like sisters who had been separated for many years and reunited.

"Our guy is used to staying in the barracks. These days just happened to catch up with the recruits coming in. He has too many things to do. Next time I invite my in-laws to dinner, and then let him have a few drinks with my in-laws."

"Hehe, we're going to Zhaoshi for a walk in a while, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles! Let's get together again at that time. I like Xiaohu very much. He is independent, capable, and positive. Let Linlin be handed over to him. I am very relieved as a father."

"If you want me to say, let Xiaohu and Linlin get the certificate first! Choose an auspicious day for the banquet."

Hu Biyuan is a quick-tempered person, and this suggestion made everyone else feel a little sudden, but it was not surprising.Thinking about it carefully, both parties think this is a good thing.It's just that Hu Pingtao and Su Xiaolin, who were the parties involved, couldn't get in the way, and both of them blushed.

Su Mu made a decision on the spot and laughed heartily: "Okay! Get the certificate first and then handle the matter. I have no objection. If you don't stay in a female university, you will have to marry sooner or later. Now that the matter is finalized, I can also send invitations to my old friends." , Let’s all get together and have a good drink.”

Li Jinglan said with a smile: "It is better to have children early than to marry early. While I can still walk, I can bring you a few years of children."

Chen Jun also smiled: "Secretary Li... Oh, no, my mother-in-law, see what you said, you are still young, not old."

Hu Biyuan is a person who is afraid of chaos in the world. She looked at Hu Pingtao narrowly and said with a smile: "Little brother, you should respond to the national policy and have more children."

Anyway, after eating this meal, Hu Pingtao and Su Xiaolin didn't think the food was delicious, and they were more shy and sweet.

They have been holding hands in places where others can't see, either I scratch your palm with my fingers, or I secretly twist your arm a few times.

yes!It's time to get married.

……

After the dinner, Hu Pingtao bid farewell to everyone and returned to the No.11 police booth to continue working.

It's his turn to be on the night shift tonight.

After the hustle and bustle of the night at dusk, only the deep sleep of the night is left.

There are no pedestrians on the road, and there are very few vehicles passing by.This place is not a busy city, and after twelve o'clock, it basically tends to be quiet.

The police booth is lit, and the red and blue lights are constantly turning outside, releasing warnings and threats to evil forces, and there is an invisible warmth and security.

A middle-aged man in blue overalls walked into the duty room and asked hesitantly, "Hello... can I have some hot water?"

Hu Pingtao looked at him.

Judging from the attire, it should be a migrant worker on a nearby construction site.He was holding a very old metal lunch box in his hand, with an embarrassed smile on his weather-beaten face.

Hu Pingtao raised his finger to the water dispenser placed in the opposite corner, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can pick it up yourself!"

The man nodded repeatedly, and said while walking, "My name is Hu Yonggui, and I work at the nearby construction site."

As he spoke, he opened the lunch box, took out two steamed buns and put them on the lid, took half a box of hot water, took out an unknown small plastic bag from his pocket, tore it open, and poured it into the lunch box.

There was a strong aroma unique to instant noodles in the air.

Hu Pingtao asked curiously, "Is this the condiment for instant noodles?"

Hu Yonggui squatted on the ground, dipped steamed buns into hot water and seasoning soup, and said while eating, "This is leftover noodles from eating. It tastes very good."

Typical Sichuan dialect.

Hu Pingtao pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down and eat, don't squat. Why, didn't you eat tonight?"

"I'm eating, but I'm hungry." The steamed bun Hu Yonggui was gnawing on was already cold and hard. He raised his head with a grateful smile, showing his unique honesty: "It's my turn to guard the construction site today. I bought two steamed buns this afternoon. It is prepared to eat when you are hungry at night.”

Hu Pingtao persuaded: "You should buy bread noodles anyway, because it makes your stomach feel uncomfortable after eating it so hot and cold."

"Noodles are expensive, and a bag costs several dollars. I still get this condiment from my fellow villagers. Anyway, he finds it salty after eating, so he can't use it up."

Hu Yonggui said with a smile: "One steamed bun costs one yuan, and two can fill your stomach. Save the money and send it home, so that the baby can go to school."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly moved: "How old is your child?"

"The three children, the eldest is 11 years old, the second is nine years old, and the third is seven years old. They are all in school." Speaking of this, Hu Yonggui is a little proud: "The grades are all good, and the exams are basically in the [-]s."

Hu Pingtao smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "You are very responsible as a father."

Hu Yonggui ate the steamed buns in two mouthfuls, stood up with an empty lunch box, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Hu Pingtao stood up quickly: "Anyway, I'm on duty. I'll tell them later that if you want to drink water later, come and pick it up. It's okay."

Hu Yonggui nodded again and again with a smile, thanked him again, and turned to leave.

……

Next to the police booth is the Archives Bureau, which goes to work at nine o'clock, and the cafeteria opens at seven o'clock to sell breakfast.

Today's staple food is meat buns.The method is the same as that of Hanamaki.Spread the leavened dough with a rolling pin and sprinkle with salt and lard.The diced meat spread on the dough is very particular. It must be mixed well with pepper, small powder, chopped green onion, minced ginger, and garlic juice. The most important thing is to add a certain proportion of oil residue, then roll up the thin noodles and cut them into pieces with a knife. Complete the final rolling process.

The surface of the steamed meat buns is greasy, the surface of the dry and hard lard residue is soaked in water vapor, and the middle part is still crispy, and there will be a "click" chewing sound in the mouth, which is surprising and unexpected. Unparalleled comfort food satisfaction.

Hu Pingtao bought four meat buns and a bowl of seaweed, egg, shrimp skin and green onion soup, and sat on a chair in the corner of the cafeteria, eating slowly.

Lunch and dinner can be taken back to the police booth to eat slowly, but the soupy breakfast is a bit troublesome, so it is better to finish eating here before leaving.

Just halfway through eating, the phone rang.

It was the number of the police booth. Hu Pingtao quickly picked it up, and then he heard Li Pingbo's hasty words coming from the microphone.

"Little Tiger, where are you?"

"I'm having breakfast at the Archives Bureau." Hu Pingtao wiped his mouth with a tissue from his pocket, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Come back quickly. The 110 command center just sent a message that a dead person was found on Dingyuan Road. The criminal police team has sent people to the scene. Liao Suo asked you to follow him and the others."
