2341,heavy metal band

In the office, the reason why Officer Wang said so much was actually because of his feelings.

Nowadays, telecommunications fraud has become the main way for criminals to commit crimes, so the crackdown on this crime is also increasing.

However, judging from past case handling experience, even though various fraud techniques and routines are constantly innovating every year, there are still many victims who are still deceived by the old routines.

Sometimes it makes the police laugh or cry, but of course this is relative.

Therefore, every time he encounters these problems, Officer Wang hates the iron.

Several times, I almost showed my ID card in front of the aunts who were deceived, and told them that I was a real policeman, not a liar, but even then, the aunts might not believe you were real.

They would rather believe that the police officer on the other end of the phone who they have never met is a kind person who is sincerely helping them.

To deal with Sanchi's case, he needed to go to the Philippines to work with the local police to handle the case. Zhao Guozhi sent Xiao Yang's team, which actually gave Gu Chen's team some time to relax.

The handover work in hand has also entered the follow-up stage.

Just waiting for good news from Xiao Yang.





8:20pm.

After finishing her work, Lu Weiwei also stretched in the office and suggested to everyone:

"Hey, let me tell you, everyone is working so hard, do you want to go out for some late-night snacks later? I heard that the snacks on Nanmen Street are good, and Bai Xiaolan is here today."

"Are you, Lu Weiwei, treating me to a treat?" Officer Wang asked immediately after hearing this.

Lu Weiwei said indifferently: "I treat you when I treat you, which makes me seem stingy."

"That's good." Officer Wang quickly put down his tea cup and said involuntarily:

"In your situation, Lu Weiwei, you have to go. He Junchao, you go too."

"You finally remembered me?" Hearing what Officer Wang said, He Junchao, who was lying listlessly on his seat just now, suddenly sat up straight as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

"I will never forget you." Officer Wang put the tea cup aside, sorted out the messy documents on the table, and then said to Gu Chen and Yuan Shasha:

"By the way, Xiao Yuan and Gu Chen are going too."

"Okay." Yuan Shasha has also been overwhelmed by all these tasks these days. Finally, she was able to go out for some late-night snacks and felt relaxed.

When he heard that everyone was going, Gu Chen naturally agreed and said, "Okay."

When Lu Weiwei saw this, she also said angrily to Officer Wang: "Hey, Lao Wang, it's obviously me, Lu Weiwei, who paid for the dinner, why do you make it look like it's you, Lao Wang, who is entertaining the guests?"

"Hey, I'm not calling someone for you." As Officer Wang spoke, he stood up and said:

"Everyone, please pack your things. We are all going out for supper today. In my case, Lu Weiwei will pay the bill."

"Okay." He Junchao heard this and immediately clapped his hands.

Lu Weiwei pretended to beat Officer Wang.





At 9 o'clock in the evening, everyone drove to Nanmen Street together.

This is also a business district, but compared to the Dongmen Business District, it is less popular.

But the late-night snacks here are all over the street, and people don’t know which one to choose.

Officer Wang glanced at it casually and asked Lu Weiwei beside him: "Hey, Lu Weiwei, which one should you eat? They all look delicious, so we have to pick the key points, right?"

"Aren't I just picking? I've eaten the previous ones before, and they feel like that. I want to eat something fresh, but I feel that the snacks here are all the same."

"Then let's have barbecue? I don't know what to eat anyway?" Yuan Shasha suggested.

Lu Weiwei looked around and couldn't think of anything to eat. So she agreed, "Okay, let's have barbecue."

"How is this place? It seems like the business is very good. There seems to be an empty seat over there." Officer Wang pointed to a certain location and said.

Lu Weiwei quickly pushed Officer Wang and reminded, "Hurry up and get a seat."

Officer Wang ran over in a hurry.

Lu Weiwei brought Gu Chen, Yuan Shasha and He Junchao to the barbecue restaurant.

This is a mobile barbecue stall. All the barbecue seats are foldable seats. The area is small and easy to clean up.

The stools are all stacked plastic stools.

A tricycle seems to be able to carry all of this.

The person cooking the barbecue was a young man, wearing glasses and looking polite.

At this moment, I am constantly preparing ingredients.

"Boss, is our table No. 2 ready?" At this moment, several customers sitting at Table No. 2 were shouting non-stop.

"It's almost ready. Just wait a little longer and it'll be fine soon." The man obviously wasn't very skilled yet, and he seemed a little flustered in the face of this urging.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm almost starving." Another customer at Table 2 also shouted.

A few men also had some beer on the table. They didn't have all the supper, so these men took the lead in drinking beer to relieve their fatigue.

Lu Weiwei looked at the ingredients, then picked up a tray and asked, "Did you pick the ingredients yourself and put them here?"

"Yes." The man with glasses didn't seem to even look at Lu Weiwei, and quickly agreed:

"Put it here after you've picked it. I'll come over later to pick it up and bake it for you. You guys first pick out the ingredients and find a place to cook it."

With a heavy sigh, the bespectacled man added: "There are a lot of guests and it will be a bit busy. Please wait a moment."

"Okay." I feel like this business is really good, and the people's choice must be the right one.

So Lu Weiwei selected a lot of ingredients, put them in one of the boxes, discussed the details with the boss, and then came to the seating area occupied by Officer Wang.

"Eh? Is this barbecue restaurant so delicious? Why does it feel like the business is better than the ones next to it?" He Junchao asked curiously when he saw the diners next to him chatting about their daily life.

A fat middle-aged woman also replied with a smile on her face: "It tastes the same. It's just that the owner of this barbecue stall has only been doing barbecue for a short time, so the portion is very generous and the price is much more affordable."

"Although they are not very skilled and move slowly, everyone is not in a hurry, so they are all willing to come here to eat."

"So that's it?" Listening to the customer's words, He Junchao nodded silently and said with a smile:

"Are you a newbie in co-writing?"

"Come on, come on." As soon as He Junchao finished speaking, the glasses boss over there handed a tray of barbecue to the next table and said:

"Everything you want is already here."

"Boss, what did you do before?" Gu Chen saw that the boss was very unfamiliar and very young, so he couldn't help but ask more.

The man with glasses smiled and said: "I just graduated and haven't found any suitable job, so now I set up a barbecue stall to make money."

"Then what's your major? I think you speak clearly and clearly. Are you majoring in broadcasting and hosting?" Yuan Shasha was also very curious and couldn't help but ask one more question.

The man with glasses smiled and said: "Hey, I'm not a broadcasting and hosting major. I studied civil engineering in college. It's hard to find a job now, and the salary is not high."

"So when I think about it, I might as well go home and start a business. Although setting up a stall is hard work, I can still make a good profit."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his arm, the bespectacled man also smiled and said, "Isn't that right? I'm just a little unfamiliar, but if I practice it for a while, I'll become proficient."

"Majoring in civil engineering, you want to switch to barbecue? Oh, then all these years of college will be wasted." Officer Wang heard this and couldn't help but said jokingly.

The man with glasses also nodded in agreement: "Yes, anyway, when I was in college, I was very perfunctory in studying. Now that I have graduated, I realize that it is difficult to find a job."

"Several of my classmates are now delivering food, and one is working as an online ride-hailing driver. In life, you have to make money first, right?"

"That's good." After hearing what the man with glasses said, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

The man with glasses was a little embarrassed and said with a naive smile: "You guys sit down for a while, I will do it for you right away."

"Okay, boss, go ahead and do your work first. We are not in a hurry here." Lu Weiwei also responded.

Just before the man with glasses returned to his barbecue post, a young woman came up and greeted the man with glasses. They seemed to be familiar with each other.

After a while of greetings, the young woman looked around and complained to the man with glasses: "Azhe, your business is good today, I don't even know where to sit?"

"How about you see if you can share a table with someone else? If that doesn't work, you can just grab a stool and sit there for a while. I'll discuss the details with you when I'm done."

The man with glasses is now in a hurry and can't take care of himself.

The young woman didn't care. She smiled and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll just sit here and wait for you."

"Okay." The bespectacled man looked around and happened to see an empty plastic stool next to Gu Chen's table, so he quickly called to the young woman:

"Zhang Ying, would you like to sit over there first? There is a free stool over there."

"Okay." The young woman named Zhang Ying also saw it, so she hurried over.

But when Zhang Ying just sat down, he immediately spotted Gu Chen and said with a surprised look on his face: "Eh? Aren't you the police officer who visited your uncle during the day?"

When Gu Chen was told this, he turned to look at the woman beside him and quickly recognized the person: "Are you... the nurse in the ICU ward?"

"Yes, it's me. My name is Zhang Ying. I didn't expect to meet you here." As she spoke, Zhang Ying couldn't help but look at the people around Gu Chen. Her eyes quickly came to Lu Weiwei, and she couldn't help but be startled.

:

"Huh? Are you the female police officer during the day?"

"Yes, my name is Lu Weiwei. We met during the day." Lu Weiwei saw that she was an old acquaintance, so she also said hello.

When Officer Wang saw this, he was also curious and asked: "Do you all know the co-author?"

"This is the nurse who takes care of Uncle Zhang." Gu Chen quickly explained to everyone.

"Oh, that's it." Officer Wang nodded silently and said with a smile, "That's quite a coincidence."

"Hello, my name is Yuan Shasha." Yuan Shasha quickly introduced herself.

Later, He Junchao also forced himself to introduce himself to the female nurse and said: "I am He Junchao. I am the core member of this team. I am engaged in technical investigation work."

After forcibly shaking hands with Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying seemed rather perfunctory.

After everyone briefly introduced themselves, Yuan Shasha suddenly asked: "By the way, Zhang Ying, have you just gotten off work?"

"Yes." Zhang Ying nodded silently.

Yuan Shasha glanced at the bespectacled man at the barbecue stall and quickly asked: "Then this boss is your boyfriend?"

"Oh, that's not true, we are just a band." Zhang Ying said.

Hearing the word "band" and hearing that the owner of the barbecue restaurant was not Zhang Ying's boyfriend, He Junchao suddenly became excited and said:

"Band? You still play music? I used to like music too, especially."

"Haha, that's right." Faced with He Junchao's conversation, Zhang Ying also smiled and said:

"We are actually all in the same band, and every member of the band has his or her own job."

"Everyone usually gets together and forms a band to perform in other cities, which can be regarded as making some extra money."

"Then what kind of band are you? They look so awesome." Lu Weiwei listened to Zhang Ying's words and felt that they were a little inconsistent with Zhang Ying's identity as a nurse.

Zhang Ying also smiled and said: "We play in a heavy metal band, and I am the lead singer of the band."

Glancing at the barbecue stall owner, Zhang Ying added: "He is a guitarist."

"Heavy metal band, you guys are awesome, so you guys who play in the band must be very profitable, right?" It felt like the female nurse in front of her was indeed not simple, so Lu Weiwei also asked curiously.

Zhang Ying, on the other hand, smiled and said: "I can't talk about making money. In fact, I lose money most of the time."

"Losing money?"

Hearing what Zhang Ying said, He Junchao immediately said in disbelief: "How can you lose money? Aren't the performance fees quite high?"

"Haha." Faced with He Junchao's layman's inquiry, Zhang Ying also laughed and quickly explained to everyone:

"Actually, many people have asked, do you really lose money when your band tours? Shouldn't it be about making money? I believe that many people will be confused by this question, and I am used to it."

"Actually, what I want to say is that not all bands make money on tour, let alone a heavy metal band like ours."

"How do you say it?" Officer Wang was very curious and asked: "Is it expensive?"

"That's for sure." Zhang Ying sighed quietly and explained in detail to everyone:

"For example, in the first half of our tour, we planned a total of 6 stops, and we lost more than 26,000 yuan for these 6 stops."

"Among them, Hangzhou's box office is the worst. It's so small that it can't even earn back half of the more than 10,000 yuan in rent, let alone travel expenses."

"The better ones are the Magic City and Yangcheng. The box office is not bad, and thousands of dollars in rent are earned back, but the travel expenses are still wasted."

"For example, if I do some calculations, the venue rental for two days is 17,000, and the travel and accommodation expenses for 5 people are 11,000."

"If a ticket costs 100, then we will have to sell a total of 280 tickets for these two games to barely recover our money."

After a pause, Zhang Ying added: "Of course, this does not include the cost of inviting guests to assist. But the fact is, can it sell an average of 140 tickets per show? Of course I deny it."
