As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the five women opposite suddenly changed.

Tian Guifen yelled sternly: "How can you talk? What do you mean we're here again? Are you trying to blame us for the mistakes you made in the store? You've been doing this for a long time, but you're saying we're blackmailing you?"

"

Qin Yongbin said coldly: "I was suspicious last time you came here to make trouble. I have to check the kitchen every day, especially the hygiene. Raw and cooked food are separated, and seasonings and other things are handled by dedicated personnel. Everyone in the kitchen goes to work every day

They all wear uniforms and masks, and my daughter has to wrap her hair with a bandana, just to prevent her hair from accidentally falling in while serving food."

"I stir-fry the bottom of the pot myself. Whether it is butter, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, sesame seeds and other raw materials, I am responsible for purchasing them or frying them. After the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers are shipped back, I will lead people to pick them one by one.

Clean it and then pass it through a sieve. There will be no debris in it. Even the smaller pepper stalks will be sifted out. There is no chance of pebbles or mouse droppings."

"Every time I fry a batch of base ingredients, divide them and freeze them, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. When I need to use them, I take out a pack and cut them into pieces. There is a refrigerator as big as the kitchen in my store, let alone

It's a rat, and if you lie down in it overnight, you'll turn into a popsicle."

Qin Yongbin was angry, and his words became fierce and angry. He cursed at Tian Guifen: "Let's go, I will take you to the kitchen, I will put you directly into the refrigerator. I want to see you freezing in it,

Can you still pee and poop?”

Tian Guifen's face turned red and white, and she held the phone tightly, as if it was a trump card that could change her fate and have heavy lethality: "It's reasonable for you to have a loud voice? You are a grown man, and you don't feel ashamed to bully women.

?”

Qin Yongbin glanced at her contemptuously: "Freeloaders like you and cheating money are shameless. You don't even urinate and take pictures. You are already in your fifties and you still come out to do this kind of thing... In your home

Does anyone know? Does your friend know?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and scanned the five women across from him: "Didn't you want to make things bigger before? I called the police, and now the reporters from the TV station are here too. If you feel any grievance or dissatisfaction

Yes, you can tell the police and perform in front of the camera. Anyway, this matter will definitely be on the news, so everyone in the world can see what you are like."

The five women subconsciously turned to the photographer, looking at the camera facing them, each feeling a little scared.

Tian Guifen was also willing to take risks. She held up her mobile phone high, and her twisted muscles showed a ferocious look on her face: "I took this picture at that time. It was the rat droppings fished out of the hot pot. Do you dare not admit it?"

Qin Yongbin had already made a plan in his heart and was not afraid of this move at all. He retorted: "What you said makes sense? Since you took the video with your mobile phone as evidence, why didn't you take the complete video? Just cut off the beginning and end and left the middle part.

part?"

"Also, don't think that I don't know what you are doing in private. You guys are all liars and are here to extort money on purpose."

As he spoke, he ignored Tian Guifen who was furious, turned to Hu Pingtao and Zhang Juan, and said seriously: "What I just said is not nonsense. You two, please follow me to the store and you will understand.

What's the situation?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Then let's go!"

The group of people came to the store and followed Qin Yongbin, who was leading the way, until they walked to the southwest corner of the hot pot restaurant.

There was a table there, seating six people. The cups and plates on the table were in a mess, and there were leftovers of food that had gone cold. Garbage scattered on the floor beside it: chopsticks, napkins, bones, empty mineral water bottles...

Qin Yongbin pointed to the dining table and explained to Hu Pingtao: "They came to my restaurant for dinner last week and sat at this table. Today they came again and they still sat here."

Hu Pingtao subconsciously glanced at Tian Guifen, who was standing next to him, and asked, "Are you sitting here for lunch?"

Tian Guifen hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said "Yeah."

Hu Pingtao looked away from her and looked around. He had keen observation and careful thinking, and soon discovered the clues.

Turning sideways, he asked Qin Yongbin: "Your store has surveillance cameras installed from the entrance, and there are also cameras at the cashier. Why aren't they installed here?"

Qin Yongbin showed a smile on his face: "That's what I want to say. The surveillance camera is wide-angle and can only be photographed, that is, regional shooting. There are a total of four surveillance cameras installed in my store, and most areas are within the range. , only this side and the table diagonally opposite cannot be photographed.”

"Last week, this group of women came to dinner. They also ordered a big pot, added a dozen different dishes, and ordered beer and drinks. The total cost was more than 200 yuan. When the waiter came to pay the bill, , they took out a few pieces of mouse droppings from the pot with a spoon, said they were eaten from the dishes, and asked the waiter what they should do."

"I happened to be in the office upstairs at the time. I quickly came down after receiving the news. I was unsure at the time because it was the first time this kind of thing had happened to me. Opening a business means being friendly makes money, and no one wants to cause trouble. So I apologized first. Apologize, after all, it happened in my store. Later, they asked me to go to the hospital for a check-up and asked me to pay for the medical expenses. At first, they said it would be one thousand per person, but I said it was too much and it was impossible. Then they discussed After a while, he said that each person would be given five hundred."

Hu Pingtao frowned: "You agree?"

Qin Yongbin nodded awkwardly: "I'm really afraid of trouble. When opening a hotpot restaurant, reputation is very important. There are people coming and going in this commercial street, and they are eloquent people, and at their age, they are shameless. Standing at the gate and yelling, do you still want to do my business?"

"After much thought, I decided to give up my money to avoid disaster. Let's go with five hundred! Anyway, it only adds up to more than two thousand yuan. At worst, work harder, do business well, and earn back the losses."

Hu Pingtao smiled softly: "I understood when you said that. Last week, I said that there was rat droppings in the hot pot, and today it happened again, and I chose to eat in your restaurant twice. A blind spot that cannot be captured by surveillance cameras?”

Qin Yongbin nodded, turned to Tian Guifen, and said angrily: "You are here to cause trouble on purpose!"

Anyway, her face was torn, and when things got to this point, Tian Guifen simply risked her life. She took her mobile phone and shouted loudly: "I have evidence, you must pay compensation!"

Qin Yongbin refused to give in: "You're dreaming! Even if I spend money to buy gold ingots and candles to burn for dead people, I won't give them to you!"

"Then I will go to court and sue you!" Tian Guifen yelled: "Just wait, someone will take care of this matter. I will call someone right now to smash your hot pot restaurant."

"You dare! If you have the ability, just call me. Do you think I have no one here? After all, I am also a deputy company-level professional, and I have many friends!" Qin Yongbin was really angry.

Hu Pingtao looked sideways at Tian Guifen and said coldly: "Be careful what you say. I am recording the whole process?"

With that said, he pointed at Wang Gui who was holding a law enforcement recorder, and continued to say to Tian Guifen: "You threatened the client, and I have written it down for you. Now is a legal society, whichever side has more people is not always justified.

I don’t care who you are, as long as you dare to say such things, it will be evidence in court."

"Also, this matter is still under investigation today, why are you making trouble here? Let me ask you: Why do you choose this table every time you eat?"

Tian Guifen answered without thinking: "The restaurant was full at that time, but there are still empty tables here."

"It's nonsense!" Qin Yongbin was about to expose it: "You guys came here at 20 o'clock before eleven. It was not even lunch time, and many tables were empty. You don't want the best seat in the main hall, but you insist on it.

Go and sit in a corner. I have surveillance here, do you want to bring it out and show it to everyone?"

Tian Guifen's face was a little red. After all, she had been in battle for a long time. These accusations were not even an itch for her. She still raised her head and said plausibly: "Which table we want to sit at is our business. We like it here."

, which law stipulates that you can’t choose where to sit when you go into a restaurant to eat?”

Qin Yongbin said angrily: "You..."

Guyi

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao raised his hand and gently pressed his shoulder to stop him, and then said seriously to Tian Guifen: "The video you took with your mobile phone cannot be regarded as convincing evidence."

"And..." He turned to Qin Yongbin and asked, "Are the rat droppings taken out of the pot still there?"

Qin Yongbin nodded: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao said: "Take it out."

Qin Yongbin took out a small plastic bag from his trouser pocket. It was wrapped in a napkin. After unwrapping it, four black granular objects wrapped together were revealed.

Hu Pingtao pointed to the objects in Qin Yongbin's hand and asked Tian Guifen: "Are these the rat droppings you fished out from the hot pot?"

Tian Guifen hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask, while increasing his tone: "Are you sure?"

Tian Guifen was a little confused. She could only nod again according to her own understanding: "Yes, I'm sure."

Hu Pingtao asked: "How long did it take from the beginning to the end when you found something foreign in the hot pot?"

Tian Guifen thought for a moment: "More than an hour!"

Hu Pingtao said: "The time must be accurate, and the error cannot exceed five minutes."

Tian Guifen frowned and shouted unhappily: "How did I know this? Isn't there something wrong with my brain? You still have to remember the time while eating?"

Qin Yongbin interjected from the side: "There is a surveillance camera at the gate. After they finish ordering, the waiter will send the order to the bar, enter it into the computer, and then send it to the kitchen. There is a video of this. I will find out now if I look for it.

Specific time."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Okay! Then go get the video first and send it to your mobile phone to bring over."

More than ten minutes later, Qin Yongbin came back.

Turning on the phone, several video clips were recorded with time just as he said.

He pointed to a video and explained: "This is the serving time. The hot pot is brought out from the back kitchen. The time is eleven and two."

"Look at this paragraph again, this is their person." Qin Yongbin raised his head, pointed at a woman standing behind Tian Guifen, and said to Hu Pingtao: "Looking at her clothes and figure, I can confirm that it is her. At that time, they were already

After we finished eating, we started talking about the rat droppings in the pot. She came to the bar to call the waiter, and then my people followed her. The time was exactly eleven fifty-nine."

Hu Pingtao carefully watched all the surveillance videos and asked a few questions.

He opened the transcript, wrote down the question and answer, and then handed the transcript to Tian Guifen: "See if there are any questions? If not, just sign below."

Tian Guifen was a little hesitant, but everything seemed normal to her, so she signed and stamped her name as Hu Pingtao asked.

After watching her sign, Hu Pingtao smiled softly and asked: "When you were eating hot pot in the store, you didn't see any mice running on the table, right?"

This question was so sudden that Tian Guifen was a little confused and subconsciously answered: "No!"

Hu Pingtao turned to Qin Yongbin: "Take those rat droppings out of your bag and get something important... just the empty wine bottle over there. Just be gentle and smash it open."

"Also, when you smash it, ask your people to take pictures of it."

Everyone is confused.

Although Qin Yongbin didn't understand why Hu Pingtao did this, he was sure that the other party would not cheat him. So he opened the plastic bag, picked up the empty wine bottle, and lightly smashed the few black mouse droppings.

Cracked, shattered, and turned into a pile of powder.

Hu Pingtao pointed at the pile of powder and said

She said seriously to Tian Guifen: "Look clearly, something is done here."
