Hu Pingtao asked doubtfully: "Brother Fu, you mean, someone stole abalone?"

Fu Yuehui nodded gloomily: "Although my club is a combination of food, accommodation and entertainment, because of the unique dishes, catering revenue accounts for the majority. Every quarter, the catering department and warehouse management have to reconcile the accounts. A comparison of the last quarter's statements shows

:The kitchen consumables and the storage data do not match.”

"Take last month as an example, the warehouse shipped more than 300 kilograms of four-head dried abalone, but data from the catering department shows that less than 200 portions of braised abalone were sold."

"In addition, there are top-quality sea rice, shark fins, scallops and fish maw. There is a serious discrepancy between the normal consumption of the dishes and the amount distributed by the warehouse."

Hu Pingtao was very surprised: "According to that, the amount involved in the case is huge!"

Fu Yuehui sighed: "I calculated based on the cost price, these things are worth about 200,000. If it is the market price, it will be much more."

"Why didn't you call the police?" Hu Pingtao felt strange.

"The catering department and the warehouse supervisor are both old people who have been with me for many years. When I started my business, without their help, I would not be able to get where I am now. I have doubted them, but there must be evidence for this kind of thing. And I am quiet.

If you think about it carefully, I have not treated them badly, and the salary and benefits are very high in the industry. There is no reason for them to keep stealing for this little money."

Fu Yuehui's tone sounded calmer: "It's really hard to call the police on this matter. No matter whether they did it or not, once the police intervene, it will make people unable to step down. Because I can't call the two of them to face-to-face accounts, material reports

You can only leave it to me to summarize. Calling the police means not trusting them. Whether the number of two hundred thousand is too big or too small, this matter is really difficult. If they didn't do it, that would be fine, but if

If things get out of hand, it won't end well."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly in understanding, and then another question popped up in his mind: "Brother Fu, you have many friends and wide connections. Even if you don't want to make the matter public, you can ask the police friends you know for help. I'm just a newbie in the industry.

How long will it take for you to be an auxiliary police officer and how long will it take for the seniority to be determined? It’s not my turn to do this!”

Fu Yuehui breathed out: "Do you know Wang Xiongjie?"

"know."

"He is the brother of a friend's wife of mine. And your director, Liao Qiu, we have known each other before he was transferred here. The quarterly report was only delivered last week. I called Wang the day before yesterday.

Xiongjie, ask him for help. His argument is the same as yours: he didn’t call the police, so it’s inconvenient for him to come forward. Even if there is an investigation, I must report the case before the police can be used. Liao Qiu’s answer is similar to him. In a word:

They can only do business."

"But they both mentioned you. Liao Qiu said that you are an auxiliary police officer, not a formal civilian police officer. You can come over to help during the break. Wang Xiongjie said that you are very smart and have careful observation. If I really don't want to report the case,

, it’s better for me to ask you to come over and help me find clues.”

Hu Pingtao couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Fu, you think too highly of me. I'm afraid I can't help with this matter, because I have to go to work every day. Even if I have weekends off, I have to rush over to deal with emergencies in the office."

"So, coming early is worse than coming by chance." Fu Yuehui said with a smile: "Anyway, you are here today, so just help me look inside and outside. Even if I can't find the problem, I won't blame you. If it's just this If there are discrepancies in materials between quarters, forget it. But if it happens again next quarter, I will have no choice but to call the police."

This was said very clearly, and since Li Song had already been hired, Hu Pingtao couldn't refuse, so he could only nodded with a wry smile and agreed.

…

First go to the office upstairs and check the report.

Indeed, as Fu Yuehui said: the data on the consumption of dried seafood and ingredients between the warehouse and the catering department do not match up, and there is a huge discrepancy.

"Brother Fu, I think this matter has nothing to do with the catering department or the warehouse supervisor." After thinking for a long time, Hu Pingtao said seriously.

"Why?" Looking at his bright black eyes, Fu Yuehui's face was full of questions.

"No matter if any of them starts from the material aspect, the traces are too obvious." Hu Pingtao's voice was very calm, still with the normal tone of the conversation: "They are all old employees of Brother Fu, they should know

The rules and regulations in the company. As long as the quarterly statements are compiled here, you can see the problems at a glance. So I think the two statements recorded are real numbers."

Fu Yuehui suddenly realized.

The authorities are obsessed with it.

When he saw the quarterly report, he subconsciously thought that one of the two supervisors had done something wrong, and did not think about it from other aspects. In addition, the two supervisors had a close relationship with Fu Yuehui, so it was impossible for him to call them "Fu Yuehui".

When we talk face to face together, we can only guess secretly in our hearts.

Compared with the loss of 200,000 yuan, Fu Yuehui valued human kindness more.

"It makes sense! Xiaohu, what you said makes sense!" Fu Yuehui's eyes flashed with joy. Since it was not a betrayal by a trusted old employee, the matter was much simpler.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaohu, please help me find out who is behind this?"

Hu Pingtao thought for a while: "Brother Fu, this matter is very troublesome. You still have to make an appointment with the two supervisors to check every step of receiving materials between the warehouse and the catering department. This workload is a bit heavy.

Yes, but it’s not difficult to investigate. I suggest you better call the police.”

"This..." Fu Yuehui gently stroked his rough chin with his right hand, looking reluctant: "I really don't want to call the police, as this will delay the restaurant's business."

He has a typical businessman mentality.

He used to be worried about the old employees, but now he is worried about the impact on the business. After all, the loss of about 200,000 yuan is really not a lot for the "Water Flower" club. If he were not worried that similar things would continue to happen in the future, Fu Yuehui planned to give up.

Don't check it and don't care.

Hu Pingtao's upper lip was slightly raised, revealing some white teeth. He was a little dissatisfied with Fu Yuehui's attitude, but he had no choice. If he had known this was the case, he would not have agreed to help investigate the case.

"Brother Fu, you should call the catering department and warehouse supervisor now." Hu Pingtao quickly cleared his thoughts and said seriously: "If you really want me to help you, just do as I say."

After a pause, he continued: "If you have other concerns, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Fu Yuehui looked very embarrassed.

He really didn't want to make the matter a big deal and wanted to resolve it internally.

To be honest, he was a little angry at the moment. He had a net worth of tens of millions, but was rudely accused to his face by a small auxiliary police officer... But thinking about it carefully, there was really no reason to refute him. After all, he had invited him here on his own initiative.

help.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Fu Yuehui finally called the two supervisors.

Hu Pingtao briefly introduced the situation and presented two reports in person. The catering department and warehouse supervisor were immediately shocked, and they quickly said that it was not their fault. Fu Yuehui also comforted them, saying bluntly: "I know this is related to

It doesn't matter to you, now we just need to find out who is behind this."

Next, the two department heads started busy.

Find all documents, compare them, and check them item by item.

More than an hour passed, and dozens of receipts signed with the name of the contact person showed that the problem should be in the catering department.

Hu Pingtao pointed to all the documents spread out on his desk: "According to the normal process, the warehouse delivers the goods and the catering department receives the goods. Each handover must be signed. There are four people in the catering department responsible for receiving the ingredients, and the data on both sides

They can all be matched. So this link is very clear, and it also ensures that there are no errors in the warehouse delivery."

"The catering department received the ingredients and sent them directly to the kitchen for processing. This is the part that really needs to be investigated."

Fu Yuehui stared at the receipts and thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that the person receiving the ingredients in the catering department is committing theft?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head and said bluntly: "Brother Fu, you can only send someone to investigate in detail after you come down. This matter is very time-consuming, and I can't get involved at once. Whether it is the person who delivers the ingredients or the chef, there are

Maybe some of it was secretly left behind. This is why the number of abalone shipped from the warehouse does not match the number of abalone sold that month."

The director of the catering department volunteered: "The problem lies with my department, so let me do it!"

Fu Yuehui hurriedly said: "Don't make too big a move. The investigation will be carried out and it will not affect normal business."

His hesitation made Hu Pingtao very unhappy, but he had to say something: "Brother Fu, let me give you a suggestion. Don't investigate the suspects for the time being. Change the direction and find the lost items first."

As soon as the words came out, Fu Yuehui and the two supervisors were stunned: "Xiaohu, you mean, those things are still in the club?"

"I'm not sure." Hu Pingtao said seriously: "When I came here last time, I observed the structure of your club, Brother Fu."

He walked to the bed and pointed to the parking lot outside: "There are walls on three sides, and there is only one entrance and exit. Outside the walls on the left and right are roads, with a lot of traffic. Outside the wall on the opposite side is the Archives Office. This is a closed environment. , and some of your employees, Brother Fu, live in the club dormitory and usually have to go to work and rarely go out. In this case, it is not difficult to search. Let’s start with those people who have to go home after get off work every day."

"In addition, Brother Fu, your club is equipped with surveillance cameras everywhere. You can check the surveillance, especially the back kitchen passage and the food preparation room, and you should be able to find something."

"Finally, let's check the access control at the clubhouse door last quarter. The dried seafood worth 200,000 yuan is not a small number. Even the most expensive abalone needs a big pocket to hold it. The statistics table shows

The ingredients that were in question also included dried shrimps and scallops, both of which had a strong fishy smell that could be smelled even through the packaging. I thought the person who stole the items walked out of the club door carrying a big bag that smelled bad.

The security guards on duty will have some impression."

This case is not complicated. If Fu Yuehui hadn't been too concerned and called the police directly, it would have taken at most one or two days to figure it out.
Chapter completed!
