Wang Gui thought thoughtfully: "So, boss, you want to access the surveillance video of the mall?"

Hu Pingtao said: "She was frightened. She knew it was done unfairly, but she didn't want to make the matter bigger. Because if you access the surveillance, you will know at a glance that this matter has nothing to do with Kong Linjuan. Here we go.

Even if the salesman is talking all the time

I don’t know. Once our police intervene and bring both parties involved back to the police station, we will definitely call her superiors and the manufacturer. When things get out of hand, not only will it not be good for her, but it may even cause her death.

This job is a dirty job."

"Think about it, if it were you, between losing your job and finding another way to deal with the problem, which one would you choose?"

Wang Gui didn't want to open his mouth to answer: "It must be the latter."

Hu Pingtao smiled: "Yes! But after learning this lesson, she would not dare to find someone like Kong Linjuan again. Instead, she would reduce the price of the pot and make up for the shortfall herself."

Wang Gui expressed doubts about this: "Boss, are you making things simple? Are you sure she will do this?"

Hu Pingtao looked straight ahead: "You have to give everyone a chance."

"In our business, we are not only catching thieves, but also maintaining social order. So when the situation allows, we should try to open an opening."

"She's not a bad person, she just wants to make some money."

…

At noon, I received an alarm call from Yongfeng Market.

The market is very large and is divided into three major categories: cold food, vegetables and fruits from south to north. Among them, cold food covers the largest area, and there is a large supermarket "Hong Lefu" and dozens of retail stores in the periphery.

Wang Gui was listening next to him and kept shaking his head: "Why is the supermarket calling the police again? We are so destined to the supermarket, right?"

Hu Pingtao smiled: "It's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Last time I went to the bureau for a meeting, I heard from people at Fenghe Police Station that at most they received more than a dozen calls a day, all from supermarkets."

Wang Guidao: "Fenghe Institute is different from us! There are four commercial districts in their jurisdiction, three large supermarkets, and various convenience stores. With more people, there are more things to do."

Hu Pingtao agreed: "So it is normal to call the police no matter where you are. Let's go!"

…

When I arrived at Hong Lefu Supermarket, aisle 5 was already crowded with people.

The core is an old lady who looks to be over seventy years old. A supermarket salesperson and a manager on duty in red vests are standing opposite, and the two sides are having a fierce argument.

"There's no way you can do things like this. The things we sell in our supermarkets are all good. How can you deliberately cause damage?"

"Why did I destroy it? Which of your eyes saw that I did it?"

"Hey, you are so old, why are you being unreasonable? There are witnesses and physical evidence, but you still refuse to admit it... Okay, okay, okay, I won't argue with you, we will wait. The police have been called.

, wait until the police arrive."

"Why wait? I have to rush home to cook! You have to wait for yourself. Get out of the way, I want to go home."

"Stop her, don't let the shameless old woman in Zhujing run away."

"Who are you scolding?"

"I'll scold you!"

"If you have the ability, you can curse again and I will fight you."

"Come on! We are recording here! We will see who is right then."

"Ouch, I can't live anymore! You guys are bullying people! How can I, a lonely old woman, try to reason with you... Oh... Oh... I have a heart attack. I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand it anymore. My heart aches."

Seeing the old woman sitting on the ground with her hands covering her chest, the young salesperson was at a loss. The well-informed manager on duty, who was in his forties, put his hands in his pockets and watched coldly. He did not say anything about pulling the old woman up, nor did he.

I didn't say to call the hospital or call 120 for an ambulance.

Hu Pingtao separated from the crowd and walked in. Without asking what was going on, he squatted down in front of the old woman and asked seriously: "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing the police, a trace of panic flashed in the old woman's eyes. She still maintained her previous actions, covering her chest with her right hand, lying half-upon on the ground, and groaned: "I...I feel uncomfortable...my chest hurts."

Seeing this, the manager on duty also squatted down, looked at the old woman at close range, and said coldly: "Would you like me to get you some Suxiao Jiuxin Pills? Or Salvia Drops Pills? Our office has these medicines on hand. Call the ambulance.

If the car comes slowly, it will be much faster for me to get you the medicine."

The old woman half-squinted her eyes and ignored the manager on duty. She lay half-lying on the ground and hummed. She didn't say what specific request she had, she just kept humming.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao was sure that the old woman was not sick, but pretending to be sick.

He raised his head and turned his attention to the manager on duty: "Tell me, what's going on?"

The manager on duty stood up and waved to the salesperson standing at the entrance of the aisle. The latter turned around knowingly, picked up a plastic bag of eggs from the shelf next to the settlement platform, and handed it over.

"Officer, look at this."

Hu Pingtao took the plastic bag.

This is a special bag for supermarkets. It is very reliable and comes in a large standard size. It can only hold five kilograms per bag.

The plastic bag was filled with eggs, at least forty or fifty by visual inspection.

The manager on duty pointed at the eggs and explained: "Our supermarket has regulations. Broken eggs, which are the ones with damaged shell surfaces, are sold at a 50% discount on the normal price. This is because eggs are easily damaged due to bumps during transportation. Although the outside is

There are egg trays to protect them, but from the warehouse to the shelves, they will be bumped into each other more or less. When we sort the goods, we will pick out these broken eggs and put them aside to sell separately."

"Actually, eggs like this don't affect consumption, because the shells are just broken. Our supermarkets stock inventory on the same day and replenish it on the same day, especially eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits. How many are on the shelves, we have to stock them one by one when we get off work that day. Check the goods. Because there are regulations from the Food Safety Supervision, fresh food must pay attention to the quality. If you accidentally knock the eggs with broken shells that day, if they are not sold before get off work, they must be thrown into the trash can. So these broken shell eggs It’s impossible for us to keep it until the next day, let alone have a backlog.”

After saying this, Hu Pingtao understood: "In other words, your supermarket often sells cracked eggs, but the quantity is never large?"

"Yes." The manager on duty nodded and said seriously: "We have done statistics in this regard. Under normal circumstances, the number of broken eggs per day will not exceed twenty. In addition to the transportation collisions, there are also

Some customers picked it up from the shelf and put it down again, but they didn’t hold it firmly and accidentally broke it... Click

As a rule, if the eggs are broken, we have to pay compensation, or just buy the broken eggs, and we just pretend that it never happened. But some people are very poor and put the eggs on the shelves if they are broken. We are super

The market is big and there are few people, so it’s impossible to visit every place, so there are often broken eggs.”

"We have records of damaged goods." As he said that, the manager on duty handed over the folder he had been holding and explained: "Today I called the police. After making the call, I asked someone to go to the office to collect the first three items.

Get the monthly damage records. Look, the second column across from the red line is the number of broken eggs every day."

Hu Pingtao looked through the folder and found the relevant data according to the duty manager's instructions.

Broken eggs occur every day, with the minimum number being three on a day and the maximum number being 42 eggs per day.

The manager on duty pointed to the plastic bag filled with eggs placed at Hu Pingtao's feet: "It's full of broken eggs. There are at least fifty in such a big bag."

He immediately turned around and pointed to where the salesperson was standing: "There are two more bags over there, just like this one. The total amount is at least one hundred and fifty."

Hu Pingtao was filled with surprise. He bent down and picked up an egg from the bag, and looked at it carefully.

The red-shelled eggs are not big in size, and there is a line of small print in the middle of the shell - Mingyuan Forest Farm Ecological Egg.

The damaged area on the surface of the eggshell is not large, the area is about the size of the belly of the little finger. It is sunk inward, and the fragments are still intact.

The manager on duty glanced at the old woman who was still lying on the ground, walked to Hu Pingtao, pointed to the eggs in his hand, and explained: "There are two types of egg packaging in our mall. One is in a plastic box.

Ten of them. They were wrapped with a drawstring on the outside and sealed with staples. She didn't dare to touch such a complete package, so she got another type with an egg tray on the outside, the kind that comes in sets of thirty.

"

"Look here." The manager on duty bent down and picked up an egg from the plastic bag, and compared it with the one in Hu Pingtao's hand: "All the eggs are broken in the same position. This egg is divided into top and bottom.

Both ends, the top should be larger and rounder, and the bottom should be

It becomes narrower and rounder. Usually when we boil eggs in the shell at home, we peel them off after they are cooked. The upper round part has a depression inside the shell. Because the eggs can sink in the liquid state, plus the inside

Egg membrane, so the upper part is empty."

"She specifically chose this to start. She pretended to pick eggs, picking them up and putting them down one by one." The manager on duty said while demonstrating on the spot: "She held the eggs in the palm of her hand, with the round end facing down, and pinched them on her index finger.

and between the middle finger. When she puts the egg down, she touches it lightly on the hard place that she has noticed in advance. The action is very secretive, and you may not be able to see the trick even if you stand next to it. When she puts the egg down, the eggshell

It’s been smashed to pieces.”

"She has done this not once or twice. Even I admire this kind of technique, and it is impossible to practice with eggs at home! Look at this, it is the same as before - the outer shell is broken, and the inside of the egg is broken.

But the membrane is intact and no liquid can leak out at all. Although such eggs don’t look good, you can take them home and put them in the refrigerator and they won’t go bad for more than a week.”

"The eggs we sell are ecological eggs collected from Mingyuan Forestry Farm. They retail for one yuan each, I'm talking about a box of ten. If it is a full version, you can buy thirty at a time and the price is still good.

It’s cheaper, it should be about one yuan, seventy or eighty cents when discounted.”

"But if it's a broken egg, you can only get a 50% discount. If you wait until after 7 p.m. and there are fewer customers coming to the supermarket to buy things, the price can be reduced further, with a 30% discount, or even a 20% discount."

"After all, you have to make money when opening a supermarket, but you also have to stop losses."

Hu Pingtao put the eggs in his hand into the bag, turned his head and glanced at the old woman lying on the ground, turned his eyes to the manager on duty, frowned and said: "Although you are reasonable here, there is nothing you can do if she lies here all the time.

"

Before he could finish his words, the manager on duty smiled: "Actually, I have known about this and her for a long time."

Hu Pingtao didn't understand what he said and asked doubtfully: "...you know?"

The manager on duty quickly explained: "Listen to me and tell you carefully. Broken eggs are basically available every day, but the quantity is not too large. Generally speaking, customers who come to the supermarket to buy eggs buy more, twenty at a time.

Above. There are also those who pay for boxes, but the quantity is small. We have done market analysis before, let’s just buy groceries!

I like to buy fresh food, and most of the time I choose the vegetable market near my home. There are far less customers buying fresh vegetables in supermarkets than in the vegetable market. The other thing is eggs. Although there are also vegetables in the vegetable market, most customers think that eggs in supermarkets are not The quality is worse than that of the wet market, so many people come to us."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly. He usually took weekends off and often helped the family buy groceries. He knew these things very well.
