Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 515 In-depth investigation
Huaiyangqing Hotel, Youyou Road.

This is the most famous Huaiyang cuisine restaurant in Haizhou City and the longest-running Huaiyang cuisine restaurant.

This restaurant was open on Youhao Road when Zhang Hui was a child. Now, more than thirty years later, this restaurant is still open.

It can be said that this restaurant is the originator of Huaiyang cuisine in Haizhou City, and its business is also very prosperous.

Their braised pork and puffer fish soup are outstanding.

But over the years, Zhang Hui has only eaten at this restaurant once.

I came here with Lu Chuan last year. It’s not that the food in this restaurant is not delicious. On the contrary, it is very delicious, but it is also very expensive. A puffer fish costs hundreds of yuan, and it can be eaten by one person in just a few mouthfuls.

It is impossible for four or five people to pay 2000 yuan for a meal at a table. This is not the consumption level of ordinary people, so most of the people who come to this restaurant to eat in Haizhou City are Huaiyang people who want to taste the food from their hometown. smell.

"Welcome, boss, how many guests are there?"

The receptionist at the door was very enthusiastic, had a sweet smile, and was thoughtful and generous.

Zhang Hui waved his hand and took out his ID: "We are the police. Is your boss here?"

When the police come to your door, most of the time it's not a good thing, and at worst it's troublesome.

Most people are like this. When they are in trouble, they wish the police were right next to them and appear immediately.

But when they were not in trouble, when the police came to their door, everyone was frightened.

The face of the young lady who received the reception changed, but she quickly calmed down: "Comrade police, please go sit in the box first, and I'll call the boss over. The other guests are still eating. Look..."

The little girl was very thoughtful and did not ask Zhang Hui and others why they wanted to find the boss. All she cared about was that she was afraid of affecting the business.

Zhang Hui and others came to handle the case, and they were not here to put up signs, so they nodded and followed the little girl into a box.

Coincidentally, the last time Lu Chuan and I came to have dinner, we sat in this same box.

"Comrade police, please have a cup of tea first. I'll call our boss right away."

"Okay, thank you."

A few minutes later, a chubby middle-aged man appeared in the box.

"Hello, comrade policeman, you are so sorry, I was busy in the kitchen just now."

The man was very polite. Compared to the little girl who was a little nervous just now, the man was much more casual.

He knows better than anyone else whether there is something wrong with him when he opens the door to do business. Of course he will be scared when someone looks at the police, but if he has a clear conscience, of course he will give him warm hospitality.

Zhang Hui did not beat around the bush and directly asked about the source and sale of pufferfish at Huaiyangqing Hotel.

"Tell me this, all the puffer fish in our hotel are artificially farmed puffer fish, and they are all directly supplied from the south."

"Aren't there any wild ones?"

The man shook his head quickly: "No, no, none of our puffer fish are wild, they are all farmed."

Zhang Hui frowned: "Boss... you don't seem to be right? I remember that your puffer fish costs 499 yuan, and there is another one that costs 899 yuan. When the waiter introduced it, he said that the latter is a wild puffer fish."

The man smiled bitterly: "Officer Zhang, it seems that you have come to eat with us."

Zhang Hui had just introduced himself, so the other party knew Zhang Hui's name.

"The pufferfish we sell are indeed artificially farmed pufferfish, but even artificially farmed pufferfish are divided into three grades."

"The puffer fish is delicious. The older it is, the tighter the meat is and the better it tastes."

"But because the demand for puffer fish has been particularly high in the past two years, the number of artificially bred fish has gradually become tight."

"So most of the puffer fish we eat now are annual puffer fish. Although the size of this kind of puffer fish is similar to the perennial puffer fish, the meat is not as firm and as delicious as the perennial puffer fish."

"In addition, in the breeding base, the perennial puffer fish breeding method is somewhat similar to free-range breeding. They eat not only artificial feed, but also some food naturally grown in the breeding pond, so they are considered semi-wild." "This is why it is cheap. That’s why the expensive ones cost 499 and the expensive ones cost 899.”

"Because it is in a semi-wild state, we treat it as wild when we introduce it. But in fact, strictly speaking, it is not wild because it grew up in a breeding pond."

"The most important thing is that our perennial pufferfish is not purely wild because it cannot eat toxin-containing algae and cannot synthesize large amounts of tetrodotoxin in its body."

This was the first time Zhang Hui had heard of this.

"That means your artificially bred pufferfish definitely does not contain tetrodotoxin, right?"

"I can't say that it's definitely not there. In fact, there is still a little bit, but the amount is very, very small. Moreover, the way we handle puffer fish when cooking is based on the poisonous puffer fish. Even if there is a little bit of toxin, it will not Bring it into the ingredients.”

"Then is it possible that a pufferfish like you can poison people?"

The man waved his hands repeatedly: "It's impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible. The amount of toxins in the artificially bred pufferfish's body is measured in micrograms. It's very, very small. Eating more than ten or twenty pufferfish will not kill you." ."

Zhang Hui thought for a while and then asked: "Boss Sun, you Huaiyangqing have been running the puffer fish business in Haizhou for the longest time."

"Is there any way to get wild puffer fish?"

"Officer Zhang..."

Zhang Hui waved his hand: "I'm not saying you have wild puffer fish, I'm saying do you have any methods and channels to get such wild ones?"

"It is illegal to sell wild pufferfish, and it is highly poisonous. It can kill people if it is not handled properly, so we never deal with those things, but to be honest, there are still channels to get it."

After Zhang Hui left Huaiyangqing, he went straight to a Huaiyang restaurant on Huaguang Street.

According to relevant food management regulations, the consumption of pufferfish is strictly restricted.

All pufferfish sellers in Haizhou City must register with relevant departments.

A Huaiyang Cuisine Hotel on Huaguang Street is not big in appearance, but it is relatively famous for Huaiyang Cuisine in Haizhou City.

Because their pufferfish...is fresher.

Some old diners like to eat their puffer fish.

The reason is very simple. According to the person in charge of Huaiyang Qing Hotel, they speculate that what they sell may be wild puffer fish.

Because the taste of general artificially raised pufferfish is similar, but the poisonous pufferfish is different. An extremely small amount of tetrodotoxin can make pufferfish fresh.

But the price is also more expensive. One such puffer fish costs more than 2000.

While Zhang Hui was investigating the puffer fish, Sun Jun's investigation also made some progress.

Some time ago, something did happen on the construction site.

"The person who committed suicide was not a safety accident. He jumped from the roof of the building himself."

It turns out that someone died on this construction site a month ago.

A steel worker ran upstairs in the middle of the night and jumped down.

Because it was midnight and the construction site had not started, the other party committed suicide by jumping from the top.

Moreover, the deceased left a suicide note stating that he wanted to commit suicide.

"Pull him down. Why did Lao Zhangtou commit suicide? Isn't it because I didn't give him the back wages? If I gave him the money, how could he commit suicide?"

"Didn't the boss also say that he would give it to him? But he has to prove it. Who can he blame if he can't show it?"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that he works on this construction site? What kind of proof can he get? He can pay people whatever salary he deserves. He can't read a word, so he needs some shitty proof?"

The clues on Sun Jun's side are not small.
