"I once saw a duck at a friend's house. That duck is very interesting. No matter how much you raise it, it won't grow big. It is white and fat and waddles when it walks. It has a gentle temperament and is very smart. You call it a name and it will grow up.

It will run over and rub your feet, and when you pick it up, it will rub its head in your hand, just like cats and dogs licking it with their tongues."

"Usually those who keep pets have to clean them because pets have strong odors, such as cats and dogs. But the Cole duck has almost no body odor and does not shed hair, so there is no need to bathe it frequently."

"Ordinary ducks can be bought for tens of yuan, and more expensive ones are only a few hundred yuan. At present, domestic Keer ducks start at least 5,000 yuan, and the more expensive ones can cost tens of thousands of yuan. If they are of good quality, then

It’s impossible to get even tens of thousands of dollars from it.”

Having said this, Hu Pingtao turned to Wu Changlin, with a hint of pity in his tone: "I really didn't ask you for more than five thousand yuan."

Wu Changlin was stunned.

He opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

My mind was in chaos, with countless thoughts rushing wildly.

"It's just a duck, why... why does it cost so much?"

"I just looked at the fat duck and thought it should be delicious, so I took it back and stewed it. If I had known how expensive it was, I wouldn't have eaten it even if I killed it."

"Um...you...you..." Suddenly, Wu Changlin raised his finger and pointed at Hu Pingtao, then pointed at Wu Wentao, and stammered: "You...could you have made an appointment to cheat together?"

Mine?"

Hu Pingtao's expression turned cold instantly.

He hated such baseless and random accusations the most.

"Shuasha" wrote the final record in the notebook and handed it to Wu Changlin: "Take a look and sign if there are no questions."

While Wu Changlin was signing, Hu Pingtao said calmly: "There are two ways to solve this matter. The first one: you lose money according to the figure they said."

Wu Changlin stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head, and screamed angrily: "Why! He said five thousand, just five thousand... Oh, no, you said the number five thousand."

Hu Pingtao ignored him and turned to Wu Wentao: "How much did you buy that Keer duck?"

Wu Wentao replied: "When I bought it as a duckling, it cost 7,800. The seller originally asked for 8,000, but because of the recommendation from a friend, he gave me a 200 exemption, saying that this number is auspicious."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, found the conversation record of the purchase of Keer Duck, and then handed the mobile phone to Hu Pingtao.

There were more than two hundred conversations. Hu Pingtao looked through them one by one and said with a smile: "You are quite thoughtful! The WeChat records from a few years ago are still there."

Wu Wentao said: "Although I bought it from a private person, he runs a pet hospital. Whether purchasing or selling goods, he uses formal channels and has invoices."

The evidence is conclusive and the matter is clear. Hu Pingtao returned the phone to Wu Wentao and looked at Wu Changlin standing opposite: "Now you have nothing to say! I have shopping records and invoices. I advise you to bow your head honestly.

Admit your mistake and pay him the money."

Wu Changlin still stuck his neck and shouted: "He said five thousand, just five thousand! It's just a duck, why?"

Hu Pingtao frowned: "I asked you, why don't you get food and salt? It's obviously your fault. You were greedy and stole the ducks that others raised well. Is it still reasonable for you to do this?

"

Wu Changlin's logic is very strange: "I am his uncle who has not been out of the fifth server. I have watched him grow up since he was a child. What will happen if I eat his duck?"

Wu Wentao glared at him: "Is that an ordinary duck? I bought it for more than 7,000 yuan and raised it for almost three years. Our whole family knows that duck. Not to mention me, my mother usually treasures it.

Your dog is blind on the 1st or something, and he had to steal the duck while I was not at home...I tell you Wu Changlin, you must explain this to me clearly."

"What do you want me to say?" Wu Changlin started to act rogue: "What about Cole duck or duck eating melon seeds? Anyway, I don't know anything. Yes, I took your duck and stewed it. The duck meat is old

The firewood tastes terrible. Since you called the police and the police came, I will treat it as a favor to your parents. Anyway, it’s only fifty yuan. Do you want it?"

"You are looking for death!" Wu Wentao roared like a beast.

When Hu Pingtao saw that things were about to get worse, he quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Don't get angry. If you have anything to say, say it properly."

He turned to Wu Changlin, looked at the man's playful and carefree look, and said seriously: "This matter is not as simple as you think. You are committing a crime."

Wu Changlin did not accept this trick at all. Although he was somewhat afraid of Hu Pingtao, because he had been to the police station before, his fear of the police was far less intense than that of ordinary people.

He took out cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Hu Pingtao, with a greasy smile on his face: "Officer, what a big deal! It's just a duck! In fact, our two families are from the same village.

Folks, if you don’t believe me, ask everyone, is this true?”

As soon as he said this, everyone around him nodded.

"That's right. We are all from the same village. We don't see each other when we look up."

"Wu Changlin and Wu Wentao's fathers have a good relationship, otherwise the two families would really not be able to communicate with each other."

"The same goes for Wen Tao, a junior, why are you arguing with the elders! It's just a duck, just eat it, if you ask me to say it, forget it. Wu Changlin's willingness to pay fifty yuan is already very good, so don't

What are you thinking about? Thousands of dollars."

"That's right! Wen Tao's family doesn't lack this kind of money. His father's business is big, so one day Chang Lin will bring a bottle of wine to his house for a meal, make amends and apologize, and the matter will be over."

Seeing that the people around him had this attitude, Wu Wentao shouted in a very despicable manner: "Since nothing happened to you, you are all just standing around gossiping, right?"

An old man who was watching the excitement came over and persuaded: "Forget it, it's just a duck..."

Wu Wentao interrupted him sharply: "That's not an ordinary duck. That's a Cole duck that I've been raising for several years. Each one sells for more than 7,000."

The old man's face suddenly turned ugly: "You must be lying! More than seven thousand... Anyway, I don't believe it. I have lived so long, and I have seen a lot of golden ducks. In the early years, the more expensive ducks were Twist ducks.

You made some kind of duck out of nowhere, and it cost thousands just by talking about it, you didn’t mean to cause trouble!"

Hu Pingtao couldn't stand listening anymore. He looked around and said in a serious tone and louder voice: "What do you mean? The person who stole things seems innocent to you? Or do you think Wu Changlin did nothing wrong?"

The old man still insisted on his opinion: "Of course it's wrong to steal things, but it's not necessary to cause such a big fight with just one duck. Besides, Chang Lin also accepted the punishment. Didn't he get fifty yuan!"

"Is fifty yuan enough?" Hu Pingtao stared at the old man and asked: "It's you who want to replace it. The TV you bought for ten thousand yuan was stolen by an acquaintance of yours. When you came to the door, the other person said that the TV had been stolen."

It’s taken care of, and I’ll sell it to a used goods collector for three thousand yuan. Since you came here and everyone knows me, we can negotiate and give you three thousand yuan back, are you willing?”

The old man was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Hu Pingtao to say that. But he had said too much before, and it was difficult to change his words now. Moreover, face was more important than anything else, so he had to suppress his temper, tilt his head and yell.

: "What you are talking about is a TV, and this is a duck. They are two different things. Can they be the same?"

Hu Pingtao stared at him and asked: "Stealing a duck is stealing, stealing a TV is stealing, is there any difference?"

The old man obviously couldn't defeat Hu Pingtao, so he simply acted like a rogue: "Then what do you think we should do about this?"

Hu Pingtao turned to Wu Changlin and said in a sonorous tone: "Since you have been to the police station before, you should know that our policy is "lenience for those who confess and severity for those who resist." This rule applies to many aspects. I will discuss the case, you stole someone else's

Duck, this is a fact, do you admit it?"

Wu Changlin turned his face away and replied unhappily: "...Admit it."

Hu Pingtao turned his head and motioned to Meng Hui, who was filming with a law enforcement recorder, to move forward and take the picture as completely as possible, then turned to Wu Changlin: "I don't care what the relationship is between you and the owner's family, nor the relationship between you.

No matter how good the personal relationship is, as long as it is confirmed to be theft, our police station must intervene."

"I already told you that it was a pet duck, bought for 7,800 yuan. There are shopping records and invoices, so it is not an ordinary duck, let alone just 50 yuan."

"As long as the amount involved exceeds three thousand yuan, a case can be filed. You are a smart person and you should understand what I mean."

Hu Pingtao stretched out his hand to pull Wu Wentao over and said seriously: "There are two ways to deal with this matter today. You can hold him responsible, and he will either pay you back, or I will handle it as a case according to your request.

Because the amount involved in the case has exceeded the prescribed limit, the court will definitely accept it."

Wu Changlin became anxious as soon as he heard this. Before Wu Wentao could speak, he quickly screamed: "Wait, wait a minute. This... why is this case filed inexplicably?"

Hu Pingtao stared at him and said coldly: "I warned you not to mess around. Now is different from the past. National laws are getting stricter and more detailed. Today's matter can be big or small, the key is

It’s all about your attitude.”

Now Wu Changlin understood. He nodded and said to Wu Wentao: "Okay, you wait, I will call your father."

Wu Wentao sneered and said: "It's useless for you to call Mr. Tianwang. I explained it clearly: This is my duck, and I have the final say. No matter what my father or my mother says, it doesn't matter. Wu Laosan, I'll just give it to you."

I have a fight with you - seven thousand eighty, plus the money I spent raising ducks in the past few years, the total is less than ten thousand, you must pay me every penny."

"What?"

"One...ten thousand yuan?"

Wu Changlin was dumbfounded, and became really anxious, so he started swearing: "Are you crazy about money and money?"

Wu Wentao said seriously: "I really didn't ask you for more. I'm a precious duck! I'm very picky about what I eat. You said it yourself. There are vitamin tablets, small live fish, live shrimps, etc. You can be your own boss.

I'm counting on my fingers, how about I take out the purchase receipt for buying feed? The ten thousand yuan is still for my dad's sake. To make it real, I have to add at least a few thousand more."

"I don't believe it!" Wu Wentao's eyes widened and he screamed: "You are bluffing, I don't understand, right?"

Hu Pingtao was watching from the side, and he understood why Wu Wentao suddenly increased the price. So he stepped forward and persuaded: "I said before that I only wanted you five thousand, but you only gave me fifty. Now that it has become like this, you have to decide what to do."

Bar!"

Although Wu Changlin is a scoundrel, he lacks a very flexible mind. He quickly followed Hu Pingtao's words and lowered his head to admit his mistake: "I will give it to him, just as he said before, five thousand yuan, I will give it to him."

In fact, Wu Wentao never thought about making a big deal out of the matter, nor did he think about sending Wu Changlin to the police station. He was just really angry and wanted an explanation.

Seeing Wu Changlin taking the money honestly, Hu Pingtao also beat him up beside him.

"You need to change this habit. Don't think that just because you are an acquaintance can commit petty theft. This time, I am too generous to care about you. If it had been anyone else, just call a few people, I'm afraid you would have been beaten to death even in the legs.

Broken."

"If you're greedy for duck, go out and buy it. You can get whatever you want. Think about it, why bother?"

"You are such an old person. If you really go to the police station, it will be very ugly."
