Chapter 22 Comrade Police, Why Are You Here?
Inside the Nanlu Police Station of Jiangzhou Branch.
Operator Xiao Zhao was sitting at his desk, staring at the information on his computer.
Suddenly, the phone rang rapidly.
Xiao Zhao quickly picked up the phone.
"Hello, Jiangzhou Branch South Road Police Station, how can I help you?"
An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Comrade police officer, I want to report this! There's a snack stand selling pig's trotters that's really not normal."
"After I ate it, I was ravenous every day, like I was possessed. I couldn't eat anything else."
"I saw the food safety propaganda today and I started to wonder if there were any tobacco butts in it."
Xiao Zhao was shocked.
While comforting the whistleblower, he carefully inquired about the specific situation and quickly made records.
"Don't be so anxious. Take your time. Where is that snack stand?"
"Besides being ravenous, do you have any other symptoms of discomfort?"
After hanging up the phone.
Xiao Zhao was so anxious that he didn't even bother to knock on the door and rushed directly to the captain's office.
At this time, the captain was leisurely holding up the cup, preparing to drink some tea to moisten his throat.
Suddenly, the office door was slammed open and Xiao Zhao rushed in.
The captain was startled by the noise.
His hand shook and the scalding hot tea spilled on it.
He frowned and scolded with an unhappy look on his face.
"You are so reckless, boy. Why didn't you knock on the door?"
Xiao Zhao didn't bother to explain and replied anxiously.
"Captain, a citizen reported that there was something wrong with the pig's trotters at a snack stall. They suspected there were opium shells inside."
The captain was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Huh? What? Opium shells? Hurry up and notify the Food and Drug Administration and the testing agency."
…
At the same time, Zhang Qiu Sheng was still queuing for pig's trotters.
Since the purchasing agency business is in short supply, the selling agency fees are naturally rising.
Just one day.
The sanitation worker’s salary increased from 8 yuan to 15 yuan.
The hourly wage of the part-time job is even higher than that of the main job, and the uncle's mouth is about to burst with laughter.
Zhang Qiu Sheng was naturally willing to spend the money since his manager would reimburse him anyway.
I simply asked the sanitation worker to bring his wife along, and the two of them helped him queue together.
The manager wants four servings, and he wants two, which is just right.
soon.
Four portions of pig's trotters were handed to Zhang Qiu Sheng.
"Here, young man. Come find me next time you need work. I'm usually under the third big tree at the intersection at this time."
The two of them looked happy and waved goodbye after they finished speaking.
…
The sun was scorching, and Su Chen's pig's trotter stall was crowded with people.
The long and winding queue at the entrance of the park can be said to be a great sight.
Some people were fanning themselves, some were wiping their sweat, but no one was willing to leave.
Su Chen stood in front of the stall and shouted loudly.
"Dear customers, there are only ten pig's trotters left, please don't queue up!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a howl of grief broke out in the crowd.
"Oh, how come it's gone so quickly!"
"I've been waiting in line for so long, can't I do more?"
"We're only a few minutes late. It's all because there are too many errand runners today. They're really disrupting the market."
Just then.
A sudden sound of brakes broke the noise and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
A police car came speeding by, standing out from the crowd.
Three policemen got out of the car together.
They looked serious and imposing, their epaulettes glinting brightly in the sunlight.
The people waiting in line were stunned.
Someone began to murmur.
"What's going on? Why are the police here?"
"Oh, is there something wrong with this pig's trotter?"
"I hope nothing happens. I haven't even tasted the pig's trotter yet."
"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about eating! You don't look like you're afraid of something bad happening!"
There was a sudden commotion among the customers.
The leading police officer glanced around and walked towards the dining car with steady steps.
"Are you the owner of this stall? We've received a report from the public that the food you sell is suspected of containing opium shells. We need to conduct an inspection."
Two other police officers followed closely behind, showing their credentials.
Upon hearing this, the originally neat team scattered and everyone whispered and talked among themselves.
Su Chen's face was also filled with astonishment.
My goodness, who is jealous of me?
Being targeted by your peers?
He glanced around with a cold look.
As soon as the vendors around met Su Chen's gaze, they instantly stopped gloating.
People are all like this.
Seeing that other people's stalls were so popular that they had to queue up, while his own stall had no customers, he became anxious and angry.
Seeing my opponent in trouble, I feel secretly happy. Why?!
Su Chen withdrew his gaze.
Quietly give up your position and stand aside.
"Comrade police officer, let me state in advance that this is absolutely a misunderstanding. Please proceed as you please!"
The police nodded and immediately conducted a thorough search of the stall.
Fortunately, the system is considerate and the source of pig trotters is clearly known.
After checking, they started wearing gloves again.
Carefully inspect and sample the pig's trotters.
Don't say.
In all their years of life, this was the first time they had seen a pig's trotter become soft, rotten and boneless without much effort.
It’s unscientific, too unscientific.
The color is still so bright.
The color of pig's trotters braised at home would never be so bright.
Judging from their keen judgment and powerful investigative skills.
This pig's trotter must have been added with harmful additives.
That is, the sodium nitrite that is often used in some unscrupulous braised food shops.
It is not only soft and boneless, but also has good water retention, so the braised food will not lose much meat.
It also has the function of changing color.
The changed color of the braised food can make consumers mistakenly believe that the food is fresher and of higher quality.
Long-term consumption will put a burden on the human digestive system.
What a heartless person! How could such a handsome guy do such a thing?
The leading policeman couldn't help but glance at Su Chen.
Unfortunately, Su Chen didn't respond to him, but just sat aside and played with his mobile phone calmly.
After they took the sample, they quickly opened the lid to check the soup base.
The aroma of four flavors of spices wrapped in steam rushed straight to the forehead.
It smells so good!
It’s no exaggeration to say that it has a wonderful fragrance!
It’s no wonder that the enthusiastic citizen who reported it couldn’t be blamed. Even the police with a rock-hard will couldn’t stand the temptation of the smell.
What else is there to say!
Years of detection experience have made his nose as sensitive as a police dog.
There's definitely a fragrance enhancer in this.
As for whether there are any big cigarette shells...
As people's police, they really cannot rashly guess about every citizen.
Everything must be objective and fair, and based on facts.
As time passed, more and more people gathered around Su Chen's stall to watch the fun.
Everyone has different attitudes.
Some expressed their belief in Su Chen, some suggested severe punishment, and a small number took a wait-and-see attitude.
