After both parties signed and left, Wang Gui walked into the office carrying a big bowl with food: "I asked the chef in the cafeteria to warm it with hot water for you. Eat quickly!"

Hu Pingtao was really hungry, so he took it and ate it without saying much.

Wang Gui looked at the mediation document on the table, shook his head and sighed: "How could this Qin be like this? He has a wife and children at home, but he still wants to get involved with women outside. It's really embarrassing to say that he was obviously the one voluntarily giving the reward.

, and he came back to that woman to ask for money...it's really..."

Hu Pingtao swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile: "There is a gap between reality and ideals. It is normal."

Wang Gui said "Oh" and said: "You still know how to say it. I just can't think of such a thing. I can't help it. I didn't go to school well back then, and I didn't study hard."

Just as he finished speaking, the landline phone on the table rang again.

Hu Pingtao had just put a big mouthful of food into his mouth. He tapped Wang Gui with his chopsticks. The latter walked over knowingly and picked up the phone.

After two or three sentences, Wang Gui put down the phone and looked at Hu Pingtao, who had a questioning expression on his face. He felt helpless: "It's from the command center again. Something happened to a restaurant over on Nanzheng Street. Let's ask for help."

Hurry over there."

Hu Pingtao picked up the cup and raised his neck to take a sip of the cold strong tea. He put it down, took a long breath, and asked, "Is there anyone else in the place?"

He really wanted to finish this bowl of rice.

It felt really bad to be interrupted twice in a row while working on the case.

Wang Gui shook his head: "Everyone has gone out. Except for Xiaomi who is on duty, we are the only ones left."

Looking at the remaining half of the bowl of food, Hu Pingtao wiped his face vigorously and forced himself to forget about eating. He opened the drawer, took out two packs of crackers and put them in his pocket, stood up from the chair,

Putting on his hat, he smiled at Wang Gui and said, "Why did you say "again" just now?"

Wang Gui looked confused: "Director, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Pingtao knew that Wang Gui had never seen "Westward Journey" and did not understand the plot.

There's no way to talk about it.

He smiled and patted Wang Gui on the shoulder: "Let's go! You drive, I'll wait for you at the gate."

…

"Miaowei" is a newly opened hotpot restaurant. The decoration style is very good, especially the signboard, which combines the word "Miao" and the word "meow" and blurs them in a cartoon variant. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell it is "Miaowei" at a glance.

"At the same time, I also understand that it is related to cats, plus the cartoon cat paws inside and outside the store are cute, Japanese, and youthful.

The clerk had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Hu Pingtao and Wang Gui coming, he hurriedly greeted them and took them directly into the office behind the counter.

There were two women and two men in the room. One woman was wearing a uniform and was sitting opposite the other two men and one woman.

She stood up, took the initiative to greet him, extended her hand to Hu Pingtao, and introduced herself at the same time: "Hello, my name is Zhang Jing, and I am the manager of this store."

Hu Pingtao opened the transcript, nodded slightly, and turned to the other side: "What about you? Tell me your name first."

The leading woman stood up: "My name is Song Yingxuan."

She was dressed fashionably. It is summer, and this is a hot pot restaurant. The fan is not turned on and the temperature is very high. Song Yingxuan took off her coat, revealing the bellyband-style underwear she was wearing, paired with a very short skirt, and she looked very sexy.

Hu Pingtao recorded the time and the names of the parties involved, pulled a chair from the side and sat down, looking at Zhang Jing and Song Yingxuan respectively: "Let's talk about what happened. Come one by one, don't interrupt.

"

Zhang Jing said: "Let me tell you first!"

She pointed to the opposite side, and her words were mixed with clearly controlled anger: "At around three o'clock today, the three of them came to the store. They ordered a Jiugongge hot pot and a large table of dishes. After eating,

They stood up and left without paying any money. If our waiter hadn't noticed something was wrong and stopped them in time, these people would have escaped."

Before he finished speaking, a young man sitting opposite stood up, pointed at Zhang Jing and said angrily: "Hey, please speak more politely. I'll say it again, we don't eat and drink for free."

Zhang Jing said sarcastically: "How can you still be reasonable if you don't pay for meals? Do you understand this is called Overlord Dinner? If you don't have money, don't come to our place to cause trouble. What's wrong with you at a young age? You have to do this."

Song Yingxuan became angry when she heard this, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Are you deaf? Or is there something wrong with your brain? I told you, I'm helping to promote your store. What's wrong with you eating hot pot?"

This has an advertising effect. When I send the video out, more customers will come, which will be good for you. Besides, I won’t ask for any money from you."

Zhang Jing crossed her hands in front of her chest and shook her head with a sneer: "It's really an eye-opener for me to talk about freeloading as such a reasonable thing. Tell you, don't talk to me about so many useless things. Eat us.

You have to pay for the hotpot, otherwise you won’t even want to go out here!”

Song Yingxuan put her hands on the table, leaned forward, and shouted angrily at Zhang Jing: "How many times do you want me to say this? I'm helping you promote it."

Zhang Jing refused to give in: "No need! The guests who are supposed to come will come naturally, and those who don't want to come will not come even if they are invited. Anyway, I have already called the police, and the police are here too. It is only natural that you pay for your meal."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jing said with unabashed sarcasm: "Of course, if she is a beggar who is so poor that she has nothing, I will not give her a meal."

These words instantly stimulated the anger in Song Yingxuan's heart to the highest level. She pointed at Zhang Jing with her thin fingers, her facial muscles twisted with anger, and even looked a bit ferocious: "Who do you think is a beggar?"

Zhang Jing made no secret of it: "I'm talking about you!"

"How dare you say it again if you are paralyzed?" Song Yingxuan looked a little crazy: "Believe it or not, I will tear up that stinky mouth of yours!"

Zhang Jing is very calm and rational. She has rich experience, especially in handling similar situations, and her ranking is obviously higher than Song Yingxuan: "You are so arrogant even when the police are present. It seems that you have done this kind of thing a lot! No wonder, you are a freeloader.

Eating has become a habit, you really take yourself seriously."

"But it's different when you come to me today. I still say the same thing - you can't get out of this door without giving me the money."

"Also, please speak politely and don't yell at me. There are more than a dozen chefs and waiters in this restaurant. If you fight, you will definitely lose, and it will be miserable."

Hu Pingtao frowned as he listened. He turned to Zhang Jing and looked unhappy: "What do you mean by that? You want to beat someone in front of us?"

Wang Gui turned on the law enforcement recorder and took pictures next to him, and he was also a little unhappy: "Now is a society ruled by law. Any problems can be solved. If you really take action, even if you are reasonable, you will become unreasonable."

When Zhang Jing heard this, she was a little scared. But she refused to admit defeat, so she could only glare at Song Yingxuan who was standing opposite: "Okay! Then you deal with it! She won't pay for meals, what should I do?

"

Hu Pingtao asked calmly: "When I came in just now, I saw that there are surveillance cameras on the walls of your store?"

Zhang Jing understood immediately after hearing this: "Yes. The table they are sitting at happens to be within the surveillance range."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Can you bring up the video of the time and show it to me? I have to figure out what happened before I can make a judgment. This statement is unfounded and needs evidence."

Zhang Jing was very efficient in her work. After a few minutes, she retrieved the surveillance video.

The picture is still very clear.

Surveillance shows: Song Yingxuan and two men walked into the "Miaowei" hotpot restaurant.

Three people ordered hot pot dishes and a large table of dishes.

There are many dishes, including prawns, beef, chicken nuggets, fish balls, vegetables... everything is available. It looks very rich, and the quantity is obviously too large. According to normal estimates, it has exceeded the normal food intake of three adults.

When the dishes were served, Song Yingxuan and the two men were not in a hurry to use their chopsticks. They took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the hot pot for a long time. Then the camera angle was focused on Song Yingxuan who was sitting at the top. She said a lot to the camera.

This process lasted for six minutes and 41 seconds.

After doing all this, the three of them put away their mobile phones, sat down and started eating.

When they finished eating, they got up and left.

The screen shifts to the part connecting the hall and the corridor.

The three of them walked to the door and were stopped by the waiter chasing after them. The greeter standing at the door also stopped them, and the two sides began to argue.

Later, Zhang Jing appeared on the screen with several male employees and took the three people back to the office.

After watching the video, Hu Pingtao probably understood what was going on.

He turned to Song Yingxuan, looked up and down, and asked tentatively: "Are you making short videos?"

When Song Yingxuan heard this, the expression on her face suddenly became very exciting. Of course, she was even more surprised: "Do you know me?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "I don't know. I just watched the surveillance video. You came to this hot pot restaurant today to record a show, right?"

Song Yingxuan suddenly felt that she had met a close friend: "I am a shop blogger. The theme of my recent program is local food. I heard that this hot pot restaurant tastes good, so we came to have a look. Officer, you saw it too, we didn't

Stealing or not robbing, just ordering food normally, but she was good at arresting us as if we were guarding against thieves."

At this point, Song Yingxuan glanced at Zhang Jing with disdain: "You don't even know me, how dare you say that I eat and drink for free? Now you understand! Even the police know who I am."

Zhang Jing was anxious: "I don't care who you are, you have to pay for eating here."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Hu Pingtao quickly stood up and stopped him: "Stop it! Stop it!"

He first said to Zhang Jing: "Don't worry, we will definitely protect your normal rights and interests."

Then he turned to Song Yingxuan, Hu Pingtao's tone became serious: "You said you are a shop blogger, I believe it. Because you don't need to lie to me. But you said you are helping her shop to promote, and eating here is free of charge.

Shan, then you are not the only one who has the final say."

Song Yingxuan frowned and argued: "I have tens of thousands of fans on the Internet. I just host a live broadcast and thousands of people watch. I am giving her money!"

"I've been doing a store visit program for so long, and I've been to so many restaurants. You know me at other places, and they give me a free meal. But here, it's fine if you don't recognize me, but you still want to find me.

How can it be reasonable to ask for money?"

Song Yingxuan regained her aura. She glanced sideways at Zhang Jing and said arrogantly: "You are too out of date. You don't watch short videos? Have you never seen me? Ask around, I am the best in this industry.

The show Shop Exploration has become popular several times. Many shops pay me money and I don’t have time to go there. I just happened to walk here today, so I stopped by to take a look. I didn’t expect you to be so ignorant. It’s really shameless.

.”

Zhang Jing was extremely angry. She had never seen a woman who was freeloader and yet so eloquent.
