Zhang Jingde kept talking for a long time, and Gu Chen understood what he meant and felt that he owed Zhang Ying a favor.
Although it is natural for nurses to take care of patients, without Zhang Ying's careful care, Zhang Jingde would not have been able to recover so quickly.
Therefore, I have been thinking about repaying Zhang Ying during this period.
After lunch, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei to the entrance of the shopping mall opposite the community.
There are many snack stalls in the square here.
In the early years, business was done in the form of small carts, but with the continuous development of surrounding commercial properties, the popularity here has become more and more popular.
Therefore, the era of small carts has ended, and now, most vendors rent and operate in prefabricated rooms provided by shopping malls.
"There are quite a lot of people." Lu Weiwei looked around and was also attracted by the food street at the entrance of the mall.
Gu Chen smiled and said: "Senior Sister Lu, are there any foods you like here?"
"No." Lu Weiwei shook her head and said truthfully:
"Although, there are quite a lot of kinds of food here, but there is not much freshness. I have eaten many things before."
"I think it's just like that. I'm a little interested in what Uncle Zhang said about the pancake stall. I wonder if the taste suits my taste?"
"Senior Sister Lu has very high requirements for delicious food. It is estimated that few merchants can meet your conditions." Gu Chen said jokingly after hearing this.
Lu Weiwei also smiled and said: "That's nothing? The main thing is, I feel that nowadays, all food companies have a good business, and then other businesses start to compete maliciously. The homogeneous competition is quite serious."
"As a result, there have been relatively few high-quality snacks in recent years, but there are quite a lot of varieties."
"If you are a person who doesn't have many requirements for delicious food, then you won't care about this."
"But the key thing is that I, Lu Weiwei, haven't eaten any delicacies? So, if you let me eat those vulgar snacks, it feels like it's really going to kill me."
"Haha." Seeing that Lu Weiwei had her own theory about food, Gu Chen also laughed dryly. He was about to say a few words, but he saw a lot of diners queuing up at the door of a prefabricated shop not far away.
Looking at the sign, Gu Chen also grinned and quickly reminded Lu Weiwei:
"Senior Sister Lu, look there, that should be the pancake stall we are looking for."
"Really?" Lu Weiwei stretched her neck and nodded silently: "It should be right there. Junior Brother Gu, let's go over and have a look."
"Yeah." Gu Chen didn't think too much and immediately started to take Lu Weiwei to the board house merchants.
When we arrived at the door of the store, there was already a long queue.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were a dozen or so people in line, and there was another group of people standing around them. You didn't need to think about it to know that many of the people in line were buying for others.
"Is business so good?" Lu Weiwei, who was waiting in line, asked a woman in the front row.
The young woman turned her head and looked around, and echoed, "Their pancakes are more delicious and the price is relatively affordable, so business is good."
"Really? Is it such an exaggeration? I've eaten delicacies from many places. I'm not bragging here, am I?"
"Haha." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the young woman quickly explained:
"Look around here. People are queuing up to buy their pancakes. Do you think, if this is just a boast, then why are these people queuing up?"
"That's right." Lu Weiwei was just joking. Of course, she also knew that among so many people queuing up, it's impossible for them to be all hired by merchants, right?
While Lu Weiwei was chatting with the woman, Gu Chen, who was sitting in the row behind Lu Weiwei, also carefully observed the merchant's methods.
It can be said that this boss lady is skillful in her movements and all steps are done smoothly.
Her husband, on the other hand, has been helping him, busy packaging pancakes and preparing various fresh ingredients.
The two of them were busy together, one behind the other.
"Your three pancakes are ready." On the other end, the boss has already handed the wrapped pancakes directly to the waiting customers in the first row.
"I've already paid." said a fat woman in the first row.
"Okay, thank you for coming next time." The boss also smiled slightly, sent the customer away, and then began to prepare the ingredients in his hands.
And since two pancake stations are made together here, the main focus is a time difference.
This side has just been made and packaged, and the pancakes on the other side are almost finished making.
The two of them did not waste any time, and Gu Chen finally believed that the success of their business was due to word-of-mouth publicity from customers.
Even Zhang Ying has eaten pancakes here, so you can imagine that the taste of these pancakes is not too bad.
"Please take your pancakes." Not long after this place passed, the boss handed a new package to a customer.
Just like that, Lu Weiwei queued up and came to the front, and quickly reminded: "Boss, two pancakes, add this, this, and this, both are the same."
"Okay, wait a minute." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, the boss also agreed. However, the lady boss who made the pancakes reminded: "There are still 10 pancakes that have not been finished over there, so you may have to wait a little longer."
"What?" I thought I was about to queue up, but when I heard it, there were clearly only two customers queuing in front of me, but those standing aside were probably customers waiting to buy on behalf of others.
Lu Weiwei's heart suddenly felt cold, and she also said jokingly:
"I said boss lady, your business here is really good."
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." The boss lady said casually without stopping.
The boss of the packaging said helplessly: "Anyway, as soon as we opened here, it was basically a bit busy. It's okay now. If it's dinner time, the number of customers queuing up here will probably explode."
"So exaggerated?" Lu Weiwei still believed it after hearing the boss boasting about himself.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now is not the peak dining period, but there are so many customers. It is conceivable that the boss's pancakes are not averagely delicious.
On the other hand, in other parts of this snack street, business is deserted.
It can be seen that taste is the core.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Weiwei got the pancakes that belonged to herself and Gu Chen. Then the two of them came to the side, took them in their hands and started to enjoy them.
While eating, Lu Weiwei complained: "I want to see how delicious his pancakes are? Hmm."
After taking one bite, Lu Weiwei chewed a few mouthfuls carefully and immediately closed her eyes, enjoying the pleasure of the food entering her taste buds.
After a moment, Lu Weiwei suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Gu Chen in disbelief.
"It's delicious." Before Lu Weiwei could say anything, Gu Chen instantly said what Lu Weiwei wanted to say.
"Well, it's really delicious. Their pancakes seem to have the same production process, but why do they taste so different?"
Lu Weiwei couldn't believe that a simple pancake could be made to such a high level by these two couples.
No wonder there are always many customers lined up in front of their stalls.
Now Lu Weiwei really knows what is the secret of this success? That is taste.
"Why? Why is it so delicious?" Lu Weiwei opened her mouth and continued to eat a few mouthfuls.
Gu Chen on the side smiled and said: "It's because of the different ingredients. They should use special sauce."
"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the boss who was packing pancakes for customers also smiled at the two of them and said:
"The reason why my pancakes are delicious is because our sauces are all made with our own secret recipes."
"Ordinary people can't make this kind of sauce, so of course it won't be as delicious as my pancakes."
"Moreover, the ingredients we have here are all fresh and we select the best ingredients."
"The best ingredients are paired with the best sauces, so it's hard not to taste delicious."
"Yeah." After hearing what the boss said, Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but say:
"I saw the pancakes made by the landlady there, and the movements were smooth and smooth. Moreover, the boss's method of packaging the pancakes is also very meticulous. I feel that you two must be very detail-oriented."
"Haha, isn't it?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, the landlady who was working hard to make pancakes also smiled and said:
"My husband and I are really detail-oriented. We both know that if we want to be famous in the food court, we have to make things that people like to eat."
"And this thing must have its own characteristics, so that people will linger after eating it."
"So, my husband and I thought about it and decided to start with the details and the ingredients."
After a pause, the landlady took a deep breath and then added: "Although the process of making pancakes is no secret for a long time, if you want to make pancakes well, you really need to work hard."
"Our secret lies in the details."
"I can tell." Gu Chen picked up the pancakes in his hand and said with a smile:
"It's no wonder that my uncle asked me to buy some and bring them to the hospital to take care of the nurses. I feel like your pancake business has already spread to the People's Hospital."
"Oh? Who is your uncle?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, the boss who was packaging pancakes suddenly became interested.
Gu Chen smiled slightly: "My uncle's name is Zhang Jingde, and he is the district policeman here."
"Oh, so it's Officer Zhang?" As soon as Gu Chen reported Zhang Jingde's name, the landlady immediately replied:
"Officer Zhang is a nice person. Everyone in our area knows him. I just heard that he was injured some time ago and almost lost his life, so he has been recovering from his injuries now."
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and said truthfully: "He was discharged from the hospital last night and has been thinking about your pancakes."
"It makes us feel itchy, so we wanted to come over and see if your pancakes are as delicious as Uncle Zhang advertises."
"Haha." After listening to Gu Chen's teasing, the boss also smiled and said:
"The pancakes here are really famous far and wide. It's rare that Officer Zhang is injured and still remembers our pancake stall. I will make some more pancakes here later. You can help me bring them to Officer Zhang."
"No need, we buy it ourselves, we can't take a stitch from the masses." When Lu Weiwei heard this, she quickly explained.
After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the landlady said casually while making pancakes:
"Eh? By the way, you are very familiar with Officer Zhang, so what do you do?"
"Same as him." Gu Chen said.
"Oh, that's the police?" The boss on the side also echoed, smiling at Gu Chen and saying:
"Oh, if you didn't say this, I would have thought you were street models. With your looks, it would be a pity not to make a movie."
"Don't you know him?" Seeing that some of the vendors here didn't know Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei was also very curious.
After all, although Gu Chen does not work in this area, Gu Chen grew up in this area and still has many acquaintances.
But after the landlady raised her head and glanced at Gu Chen, she said jokingly: "You have grown handsomely since then. It's a pity that we just came here to do business and we haven't had much time."
"So, in addition to those in the vegetable market, there are also some administrators here in the shopping mall."
"We are really unfamiliar with the others."
After saying this, the landlady turned and said: "However, seeing how handsome you are, you should be very famous in this generation."
"Haha, I am the deputy director of Furong Branch." As soon as the boss lady finished speaking, a young man in line quickly reminded her.
Obviously, the young man knew Gu Chen.
"Oh?" After hearing what the young man said, the landlady was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Gu Chen, then stopped what she was doing, looked at Gu Chen up and down, and said with a puzzled look on her face:
"No way? At such a young age, you are already the deputy director of Furong Branch? Furong District is a very large urban area. Are you the deputy director?"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Isn't that right?" Gu Chen didn't say anything. However, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but praise Gu Chen and said with a smile:
"I, Junior Brother Gu, am the youngest deputy director of Furong Branch."
"So that's it?" After listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, the landlady immediately took back her previous ridicule, and began to become more polite when speaking to Gu Chen, and asked hurriedly:
"By the way, Director Gu, does your Furong branch care about the police situation here?"
"They belong to different jurisdictions. I manage Furong District, and this is the High-tech Zone." Gu Chen also explained.
"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, the landlady nodded silently and smiled teasingly:
"Look at me, I'm so busy that I can't even figure out what's going on here."
"This Furong Branch cannot control the Gaoxin Branch, but you are all in the police system, right?"
"That's true." Gu Chen nodded and said.
"Well, I was just thinking about this," said the landlady.
Gu Chen frowned and saw that the landlady seemed to have something in her words, so he quickly asked her:
"Madam boss, are you encountering any difficulties?"
"It's true." Seeing what Gu Chen said, the landlady simply explained:
"The thing is like this, in my small wooden house, the area is not too big. Every time we go home to close the stall, we always put some change in it."
"But I don't know what's going on lately? Every time I come here the next day, the amount doesn't match up, and it's always less. However, there are no signs of being disturbed or disturbed in this wooden house, which feels quite strange."
"No way?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she quickly reminded her:
"Isn't it possible that he was robbed?"
"I think so too." The landlady nodded silently and explained:
"Later, I told my husband that we should be careful, so last night, when we closed the stall, we put the change in the drawer in a fixed position."
"Then, a piece of hair was stuffed into the door lock."
"If my hair is still there when I open for business today, it means no one comes in."
"Then what's the result?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly after hearing that the landlady was so shrewd.
But the landlady shook her head and said helplessly: "The problem is, the hair is missing. Someone must have been in my cabin."
"But the strange thing is that except for the lack of money, there are basically no other problems."
"Are they all short change?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes, there is less change, because everyone likes to pay with mobile phones, but some elderly people still like to pay in cash, which leads to a lot of change."
"Then, my husband and I are busy until late every day, so when we close the stall, we don't even bother to count the change, so we just lock it in the cabinet in the boardroom."
"But during this period, we felt that there was always something wrong with the change. There was always less, but most of the change was still there."
Shaking her head, the landlady was helpless: "So, I've always felt weird, and I used my hair to verify this, but when I opened the door today, hey, my hair was gone."
"Does that mean someone has come in?" Lu Weiwei said.
But the boss on the side shook his head: "It's really hard to be sure about this, because the hair may have been blown away by the strong wind. Anyway, there are too many uncertain factors."
"My wife and I are also very confused now. We don't know what to do. I'm thinking of calling the police, but it seems that not all the change has been taken away."
"Why don't you call the police? I feel like the change is always wrong."
Taking a deep breath, the boss also shook his head: "So, we are also very distressed now. We haven't figured out how to solve this matter. I wonder if the police will deal with it after calling the police?"
"After all, we don't have any substantial evidence, so, Director Gu, can you understand what I mean?"
"I completely understand." Gu Chen finally understood what the two couples meant.
Co-writing means that every night, the two of them pack up their things and go home directly.
As for the change left in the store, the two chose to lock it in the cabinet. However, during this period, the change seemed to decrease every time.
But if you lose less, just lose less. The key change is still here, so the couple is distressed and doesn't know how to deal with this matter.
When I reported the crime, I felt that the police would not take over the matter, and I even felt that the couple was just imagining things.
After all, this thing sounds really weird.
Gu Chen thought for a moment and said truthfully: "To put it this way, your situation is indeed a bit incredible."
"But one thing is for sure, that is, things are exactly as you expected. I believe that this is someone doing a prank or chronic theft."
"Chronic theft?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, the boss was a little confused and said:
"What do you mean? Just stealing slowly?"
"To put it simply..." As soon as the boss finished speaking, Gu Chen walked up to him and explained:
"To put it simply, the other party is trying to avoid being discovered, so they only steal a little bit each time."
"In this way, he can cover up the fact that he stole, but if the words from your mouth are true, then I believe it must be man-made."
"We also think that it may have been targeted by thieves." The landlady said with a worried look on her face.
"What should we do?" The boss on the side also asked quickly.
Gu Chen calmed down for a few seconds and quickly looked around.
The boss reminded Gu Chen: "Director Gu, this is a surveillance blind spot and there is no surveillance."
"In other words, maybe the thief came here to steal because of the blind spot here?" Gu Chen said.
The boss and his wife looked at each other, then they both nodded:
"That's pretty much what it means." The boss said.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen nodded silently, and then began to look higher.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In a corner on the top floor of the mall, a high-altitude eagle eye was actually installed. Gu Chen looked up and found that the eagle eye's perspective could completely cover this area.
of.
Therefore, ordinary people may rarely know that, and the command and operation authority of the Eagle Eye surveillance here is not in the shopping mall, but in the police command center.
But if you want to know the truth of the matter, you need to call in relevant monitoring.
Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, thinking about the various situations the couple had just mentioned, and thought that he could help investigate, so Gu Chen hurriedly said:
"I will help ask my brother's unit about this matter. If possible, we will catch the thief."
"It would be best if that's the case." Listening to Gu Chen's words, the landlady also sighed, feeling helpless and sad.
The business between the two was still going on, but Gu Chen couldn't stay here forever, so he took Lu Weiwei downstairs in the shopping mall.
While Gu Chen was observing the surroundings just now, Lu Weiwei also discovered a high-altitude Eagle Eye high-definition camera on the top floor of the shopping mall based on Gu Chen's gaze.
It was Lu Weiwei who rushed to Gu Chen's side and asked, "Junior brother Gu, do you want to use the Eagle Eye camera?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen threw the wrapping paper into a nearby trash can and said honestly:
"It is difficult to use the Eagle Eye camera for general case investigation. After all, Eagle Eye has relatively high authority."
"If what the couple said is not true, then using this kind of public resource seems to be a waste."
"But if what the couple said is true, then it would be difficult to obtain permission to use such public resources."
"Yes." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei nodded silently and couldn't help but say:
"Originally, these things between the two couples sound quite mysterious, but if you want to know the truth, you must use the high-altitude eagle eye."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei smiled at Gu Chen and said:
"Junior Brother Gu, I know that you must take care of this matter. In your heart, the masses are no small matter."
"This motto has been engraved in your bones. Especially I remember that when you first came to Furong Branch, you were with me on your first field trip."
"Go handle a dispute over counterfeit 100-yuan notes. You were actively handling even small cases like this at the time, but now you're even more concerned about it."
"Haha, Senior Sister Lu understands me." Seeing that Lu Weiwei was too familiar with him, Gu Chen also laughed dryly and expressed his opinion.
"It's definitely useless during the day. We have to wait until night falls, especially until the couple of proprietresses close their stalls and go home, to know clearly what happened to his wooden stall."
"If someone steals, then we can use high-altitude eagle eyes to target the thief."
"Then we will notify the patrol police nearby and catch the thief."
"But Junior Brother Gu, it will take a long time to use the eagle eye camera. What's more, the affairs of the High-tech Zone here are managed by the High-tech Zone Bureau."
"I know." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen also confessed:
"But if I encounter this kind of thing, I will take care of it."
"Assisting our brother units and catching a little thief shouldn't be a big problem."
"I'll ask Senior Brother He to contact me later and apply for permission to use this high-altitude eagle eye camera. Let's see what happened here at night during this time?"
"That's okay." After hearing that Gu Chen had already given his own solution, Lu Weiwei expressed her approval with both hands.
So I quickly took out my mobile phone, started editing text messages, and started communicating with He Junchao.
It didn't take long for He Junchao's text message to complain was replied. Lu Weiwei and He Junchao argued repeatedly in the phone dialog box, and finally He Junchao agreed.
Putting down her phone, Lu Weiwei smiled at Gu Chen and said:
"Junior brother Gu, it's all done. He Junchao has already applied for permission to see if we can pull out the surveillance video from this period of time and night, and try to gain something."
"Yeah." After listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Gu Chen also grinned: "Then let's wait here for the results."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei said there was no problem, and then she and Gu Chen came to a public seating area at the entrance of the mall.
The two of them sat on the seats. On the one hand, they watched the couple continue to be busy, and on the other hand, they waited for He Junchao's positive reply.
Sure enough, not long after, He Junchao called, directly to Lu Weiwei's mobile phone.
Lu Weiwei clicked on the speakerphone and placed it on the desktop. She also asked, "He Junchao, what's going on? Have you found out?"
"I found it, but why do you control it so leniently? Are you here to blindly manage the affairs of the High-tech Branch?"
"Not only are you taking care of things blindly, but you are also bringing me along with you to operate blindly. I have a lot of things on my hands. Please don't come to me next time for such a trivial matter."
"Oh, you are really capable." Lu Weiwei was a little unhappy after hearing He Junchao's refusal.
But after all, he was looking for help from He Junchao, so Gu Chen quickly reminded him:
"Senior Sister Lu, let me speak."
"Okay." After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she immediately made an exaggerated "please" gesture with her hands.
"Senior Brother He, what's going on?" Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei's cell phone and continued to ask.
"Gu Chen, this matter is really strange." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, He Junchao said hesitantly.
"Listening to your tone, could there be some unexpected gains?" After all, Gu Chen has been partnering with He Junchao for many years, so he is naturally aware of He Junchao's habits.
He Junchao also smiled jokingly: "Let me tell you, I retrieved the video records of this period of time and late at night, and I really discovered some fishiness."
"Tell me about it, hurry up." Lu Weiwei was impatient and urged.
"Don't be impatient, Lu Weiwei, I'll tell you slowly." After some weirdness, He Junchao finally informed the two of them of the results of his investigation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I discovered that during this period, whenever the two couples closed their stall, there would be a mysterious black figure quietly coming to the vicinity of this wooden house."
"Then, when no one was around, the man in black began to use some small tools he carried with him to pick the lock on the door of the board room and ran inside to steal things."
"Can the eagle eye camera see clearly?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." He Junchao answered quite readily and said quickly:
"The Eagle Eye camera covers this area and can just see the situation at the door."
"This thief broke the lock and stole money, but he just stole money. He also opened the window of the wooden house."
"Open the window?" Lu Weiwei was stunned, not really understanding what this operation was?
But He Junchao was the first to hold back and burst out laughing: "This guy must be hungry, so he started making pancakes in the wooden house."
"Pfft!" When He Junchao said this, Lu Weiwei almost stopped laughing and said in disbelief: "Real or false?"
"Tsk, can I still lie to you?" He Junchao felt that Lu Weiwei was making a fuss, so he said again:
"This guy, in the first few days, seemed to be very cautious and didn't want to be discovered, so he had to relock the door every time he came in or out."
"But after a few days, this guy, probably because he was hungry, started to light a fire, knead the dough, spread the cakes and beat the eggs, all at once."
"At the beginning, I didn't seem to be very skilled, and I was slow to do it."
"But later, this guy would practice various exercises in that board room almost every night late at night. It really made me laugh to death."
"Pfft!" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei couldn't hold it back any longer, and she held her stomach and said with a smile:
"So, this thief is still here to practice making pancakes?"
"More or less, I guess so. Moreover, I am getting more and more skilled in the movements every day. I make and eat by myself."
"After I finished, I made the stove clean, then I locked the door and left."
After a brief pause for a few seconds, He Junchao said helplessly:
"To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered a thief like this."
"That means someone has entered the boardroom of that merchant." Listening to He Junchao's explanation, Gu Chen also smiled knowingly and said:
"If that's the case, it would be simple. At night, let the police patrolling nearby pay attention to this area secretly."
"Once you find someone making pancakes alone late at night, arrest him immediately."
