Chapter 128: Beat it up with a rake
Before eating, Zhang Jiaqiang asked someone to check the rainproof canvas. It was obvious that someone had opened it just now.
If something goes wrong with a machine worth millions, the loss will be huge.
"Quickly, let Master Liu come and see if there are any missing parts!"
Zhang Jiaqiang shouted in a low voice.
The two employees hurriedly ran upstairs and found Liu Zhenxing. When they explained the situation, everyone became anxious and followed him downstairs.
Even Zhang Cundong, who was drunk with horses and swords, also followed.
Master Liu took his two apprentices to check, and his face suddenly turned dark.
"Director, something is really missing. One of the rollers is missing!"
Rollers are worthless, and it seems that these thieves may not be real thieves, but may be children who are deliberately causing trouble.
Being unfamiliar with the place, Zhang Jiaqiang decided not to pursue the case in order to avoid causing trouble. "One more thing is worse than one less thing. Two more people will look after the car, and I will get a roller when I get back. That's it!"
Master Liu hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to match. This is imported from the original packaging. After matching with domestic products, the wear will increase and the machine will break down quickly. I am not a fan of foreigners. This is the truth!"
Master Liu's eldest apprentice Wu Haitao said anxiously, "Director, why don't we call the police? This is a million-dollar machine, and it is considered a big case. They will definitely file a case!"
These days, surveillance has not developed everywhere. Even if a crime is reported, the roller may not be recovered in a short while.
Zhang Jiaqiang plans to take a two-pronged approach. While calling the police, his own people will also investigate.
At this moment, Zhang Cundong suddenly shouted, "Look, is this a chef's hat?"
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see Zhang Cundong holding a wrinkled and greasy hat in his hand.
"Yes, it's a chef's hat. I thought it was used as a rag. I just wiped the machine and the oil on it was caused by me!" Master Liu said.
Zhang Jiaqiang was excited, pointed at the chef's hat and said, "Master Liu, where did you find this just now?"
Master Liu said, "On the car, I thought it was a piece of scrap cloth that was already there!"
Zhang Cundong looked at the chef's hat carefully, pointed to the words on it and said, "I think I know whose hat this is..."
At night in the county town, there were not even a single pedestrian on the street. It seemed so quiet, even a bit desolate.
The hotel on the roadside was closed, and the rolled-down shutter door blocked the doors and windows. In the dead of night, a group of people suddenly came to the street. They walked to the door of the hotel and knocked on the shutter door.
The huge noise broke the silence of the night, and several groups of people in the hotel were awakened and shouted through the door.
"What's the matter? You're knocking on the door in the middle of the night and preventing anyone from sleeping!"
"Open the door, we are from the police station, here to investigate the case!"
The person inside muttered something, and with the sound of chains, the rolling shutter door opened.
As expected, there were two uniformed security guards standing outside the door, as well as seven or eight people who looked familiar.
The hotel staff on duty rubbed his scarlet eyes and said, "No matter what case we investigate, we are all responsible persons!"
Two security guards entered the hotel first, and one of them asked.
"You are on duty alone. Where do the chefs and waiters rest?"
The person on duty pointed to the stairs, "I usually stay in the dormitory above, but I'm awake now!"
There were indeed a few people on the stairs poking their heads.
The security guard said, "Gather everyone into the hall, we want to question you!"
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and a middle-aged man walked down.
He laughed loudly and said, "Oh, it's Captain Wang. My surname is Liu, and I'm the manager here. I'm an old friend of your director Zhao. What's happening here? The chefs and waiters have to go to work tomorrow. What's the matter?
Tell me what happened!"
Security guard Captain Wang's gloomy face showed a slight smile, and his tone became a bit more polite.
"Manager Liu, right? We can't help it. A big case has happened and we need to verify some information. You hurry up and get everyone out. We can finish it as soon as possible so that they can rest early!"
When he heard about the big case, Manager Liu's expression changed and he exclaimed, "A life was lost? We don't have those kind of desperadoes here!"
Captain Wang said impatiently, "No human life was spared. No one can afford the theft of millions. Manager Liu, you won't refuse to cooperate with our work, right?"
Manager Liu was trembling with fright. His store was not worth millions. He immediately asked all the waiters and chefs to get up and gather in the lobby.
After a while, the hall was filled with people.
Captain Wang turned to look at a young man, "Director Zhang, everyone is here. Let your people come and recognize you!"
Half an hour ago, Zhang Cundong recognized that the words on the chef's hat were the name of the hotel where he had dinner that night.
Anyone with a little bit of logical thinking can figure out that it must have been the small conflict at night that made those people feel revengeful.
While they were having dinner, they came to the parking lot and deliberately broke the car and took away important parts.
Zhang Jiaqiang immediately chose to call the police, and then the drama unfolded in front of him.
The lights were all turned on at this moment, the hall was as bright as day, and the 20 or 30 people were clearly illuminated.
Some of these people looked confused, some looked panicked, and some seemed to be just watching the fun.
Zhang Jiaqiang turned his head and asked softly, "Cundong, do you remember which ones they are?"
Although Zhang Cundong drank too much and was still a little drunk at the moment, he had a good memory and immediately recognized the people who had the conflict from the crowd.
"Yes, I'll just show it to you!"
He pointed to four people in chef uniforms, "That's them!"
Zhang Jiaqiang glanced at Captain Wang, who immediately shouted loudly, "The four people you were accused of just now, come forward and come back with us to the station to assist in the investigation!"
At this time, Manager Liu also recognized Zhang Jiaqiang and the others, and it suddenly dawned on him that he immediately stood in front and blocked Captain Wang.
"Captain Wang, since my employees are suspected, shouldn't you explain the reason clearly before you take them away?"
Captain Wang rolled his eyes at this guy and had no choice but to tell the facts of the case.
After listening to this, Manager Liu burst out laughing.
"I thought it was such a big case. It turned out that a broken bearing was lost and a whole army was launched. Of course, if a needle is lost, you should look for it, right? But you concluded that it was our people just based on a chef's hat.
I also wanted to say that the chef's hat was stolen, and now that the stolen goods are in your hands, you are the biggest suspect!"
Captain Wang glared and said, "We haven't said that it was the four of them who stole the things. Now we are just investigating. Do you understand, why don't you plan to cooperate?"
Manager Liu smiled and said, "What are you talking about? We must cooperate, but you have to say ugly things up front. Now you are saying that my people stole things without any evidence, and asked all the store employees to come out from under the covers to assist in the investigation, and you have to bring people with you."
Let’s go, if it’s found out that they weren’t responsible, how will they pay for my loss?”
Captain Wang didn't want to fall out with such a local snake, so he frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
Manager Liu smiled contemptuously, "Just ask here and let him go if nothing happens, so you don't have to run back and forth in the middle of the night!"
