Chapter 309
Fang Dazhi suddenly had an idea and said loudly: "Even if there is a slight difference, it is possible that the printing factory made a mistake and printed a defective product. Since you put it in the packaging, it means that you approve of this card and you should redeem the prize for me!"
Seeing that some of the onlookers seemed to think that what he said made sense, Fang Dazhi became proud again.
But that trace of pride was quickly shattered by Su Miao, who said calmly:
"In order to ensure the fairness and authenticity of the card collection, all cards sold in our store are coded. Each card has a unique code, and there are no duplicates. The codes are also registered in the book.
The code and pattern type of each card are recorded, and the number on your card is completely wrong."
He argued, "You say it doesn't match, so it doesn't match? Then take out the booklet and show it to me."
"The code register is our internal information, so we can't just take it out and look at it casually. Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives might memorize the number and falsify it. However, we can ask the police to assist in verifying it."
When Fang Dazhi heard Su Miao say that he was going to call the police, his eyes flickered and he said stubbornly:
"If you don't want to exchange it, then don't do it! Why are you making so many excuses? Why even call the police? It's like I'm blackmailing you. If you don't want to exchange it, then forget it! I don't need that little money!"
After saying that, he haphazardly stuffed all the cards into his pocket and hurried away.
Su Miao glanced outside the store and said with a smile, "Comrade Fang, I'm afraid you can't leave now, because the public security comrades have arrived."
Fang Dazhi had just reached the door and had not yet taken a step out when he was blocked by two police officers coming towards him.
Because there are several administrative units and two key middle schools on this street, the police station is located very close to the school. After receiving Su Yu's call, it took only a dozen minutes to arrive at the store.
The public security officer asked everyone in the store, "I heard there was a dispute here. Who called the police?"
Su Yu stepped forward, pointed at Fang Dazhi and said:
"Comrade Public Security, I'm the one who called the police. We have a card collection and redemption event in our store. Today, this customer came to our store without an appointment and wanted to redeem our cash prize.
After we registered and checked the card, we found it was fake. He thought we were deceiving customers, and the situation became so tense that he wanted to ask the police to intervene.
A police officer reached out and stopped Fang Dazhi, who was trying to get out through the door with his eyes rolling, and said, "Are you here to claim your prize?"
Fang Dazhi stopped sneaking around and said with a guilty smile, "I just happened to draw the card and came here. Since I can't redeem it, then I won't redeem it. There's no need to trouble the police."
The two public security comrades also have collection cards themselves and said:
"You're quite an interesting person, comrade. If you have a prize, why don't you claim it? It's a large sum of money. Tell us about it. If there's no problem with your card, we'll naturally have the store redeem the prize for you."
Fang Dazhi had no choice but to turn back. Su Miao repeated what he had just said to the public security comrades.
The public security officer said, "Since we have the register, let us take a look. After all, what he said about the printing factory is not without reason. But don't worry, we won't spread it."
"Of course we trust the public security comrades. We just told this guest to wait a moment until the public security comrades arrive, but he insisted on leaving."
Su Miao brought the registration book from the backyard. Two police officers stood behind the counter carefully, making sure that no one else could see the contents of the book before opening it.
"Comrade Public Security, here is the code for the Great Sage Card."
Su Miao directly turned to the pages with the Great Sage Card codes, and there were several pages!
The registration book was made before because Su Miao anticipated that someone might commit fraud. This was one of the preventive measures. Although it was also easy to crack, it was definitely effective at least today.
The card control matter is confidential. If the book is taken out, won’t people know the existence of rare cards?
So she put some more codes on it so that people could see more. These codes were from another set of genuine cards that were not rare cards. These cards would not flow into the market. If someone remembered these codes and made counterfeits, she could also find the real cards to confront them.
Because she is still very confident in the current card production technology. The printing factory that Aunt Toye found at the beginning used new imported machines and the materials used were also uncommon. At least in terms of machines, it is the only one in Yongcheng at present.
The police officer pointed to a few crossed-out numbers and asked, "Have these crossed-out numbers been redeemed?"
"Yes, these have been claimed and destroyed. We will then publish the list of winners on the prize redemption board at the door."
The police returned the book to Su Miao and said to Fang Dazhi, "Comrade, all the evidence now shows that your card is indeed fake. The store definitely can't redeem the prize for you."
"Haha, I've already said it before. If I can't redeem it, then I won't redeem it. I'm really sorry to bother the public security comrades. Since I can't redeem it, then I'm leaving."
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing him anxiously about to leave, Su Miao stopped him and said, "Comrade, you spent money on papaya shreds, but the matter of you getting a fake card hasn't been investigated yet! Did you buy your papaya shreds in our store?"
"No, no, I just bought it at the store. It's not here."
"If it's a second-hand sale, then I think it's possible that the store owner swapped the card. He tore off the wrapping paper, replaced it with a fake card, and then put it back on, and you bought it without noticing."
Seeing Su Miao begin to push the responsibility onto a non-existent "store owner", Fang Dazhi was pleased to see it happen and nodded in agreement:
"I think so too! When I bought it, I thought the packaging looked a little damaged, but I didn't realize the card had been replaced. Forget it, I'll just forget about it."
"No! It's your prize, you should go for it. You just said you just drew it, it hasn't been long, you must remember where you bought it.
While the public security comrades are here, let's go to that store and retrieve the real card you should have drawn so that we can redeem your prize."
The diners who were watching thought Su Miao's words made a lot of sense and said:
"Yes! Let the public security comrades take you there now! He definitely won't dare not hand it over!"
"While it's still early, hurry up and catch them! Card swapping is a terrible act. His family will never be able to sell papaya shreds again!"
"Miaomiao is really smart. He even helps others with their plans. If others just wish your card would disappear, their family wouldn't have to pay."
"When you redeem your prize, remember to thank the store and the police."
Fang Dazhi wanted to cry but had no tears. He secretly cursed Su Miao for being nosy and giving such stupid advice. Where could he catch the person?
