Chen Qian took the menu and glanced at it. "Waiter, did you make a mistake?"
"Brother, isn't it written clearly on the bill?" the waitress said.
Chen Qian threw the bill on the table and knocked on it. "Call your boss over."
The waitress took the bill and left.
Chen Qian turned on his phone and turned on the video function. He was the most professional when it came to secretly recording things.
Not long after, the female owner walked into the room. She glanced at Han Bin and the other two and asked, "Are you done eating?"
"Yes, but I don't understand the bill," Chen Qian said.
"What don't I understand? Can you tell me?" The lady owner slammed the bill on the table.
"There are 61 plates of oysters, so why are you charging 600? A pot of tea is 20, so why are you charging 60? A plate of conches is 80, so why are you charging 480 …" Chen Qian pointed at the bill and said.
These oysters are imported from Europe. It's not sixty-one plates, it's sixty-one pieces. The tea is calculated by the number of people. If each person gets twenty, that's sixty. The conches are also imported. There are eighty-one of them, so that's exactly four hundred and eighty … It's written clearly on the menu. You can't eat it all and go back on your word. "The lady boss had an aggrieved look on her face, as if she had met someone who dashed and dashed.
"What top-grade ingredients? We don't even have oysters on Daqin Island. Why did you import them from Europe? Are you stupid or are we stupid?" Li Cunrong was a little annoyed. Who dared to trick him like this in Gaocheng?
"So what? You ate and don't want to pay?" The lady owner crossed her arms and looked down at the three.
"We definitely have to pay, but we'll pay you according to the original price. A plate of oysters is 60, a plate of conches is 80, and a pot of tea is 20 …" Han Bin took out his phone and calculated.
"It's a total of 462. I guarantee you won't get any less."
"Brother, what's the difference between this and eating and dashing?" The lady owner snorted.
"Alright, stop being so greedy. 462 is not a penny less." Chen Qian took out the cash and slammed it on the table. He stood up and was about to put on his coat and leave.
It was better to avoid trouble.
In this day and age, the police didn't want to cause trouble.
"Clap, clap …" The lady boss clapped her hands, and two men dressed in white chef's uniforms blocked the entrance. Both of them were tall and burly, and they completely blocked the entrance.
"What's the meaning of this?" Han Bin stood up and couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother, if you give me a fraction, I'll let it go. But if you give me a fraction, my restaurant will suffer a huge loss." The lady boss looked as if she didn't want to leave without paying.
"Lady boss, if you're being unreasonable, we'll call the police."
"Don't scare me. We open our doors to do business. If you eat, you have to pay. The police can't do anything about it," the commoner said nonchalantly.
"Madam, why don't you go out for a while? The three of us need to pool our money," Chen Qian said.
The lady boss waved her hand and led the two chefs out of the private room. However, they did not go far and continued to block the entrance.
"Brother Chen, are we really going to pay?" Li Cunrong did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"If he wants to scam us, then let's do it. What's there to be afraid of?" Chen Qian whispered.
Han Bin understood what he meant. Fraud and attempted fraud were more serious crimes. The former was definitely the more serious one.
Sometimes, the crime was too light for the police to do anything.
"That's fine too." Li Cunrong nodded. They were the police. If they really showed their identities in the restaurant, the lady boss would call the police to dine and dash.
Regardless of whether they were in the right or not, the three of them would get into trouble.
The police station was their home ground.
As long as the lady boss dared to take the money, she would have to go to the police station.
The three of them discussed for a while. In order to leave evidence, they directly called the lady boss in and transferred the money to her.
The lady boss smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. "You're welcome to come again."
After leaving the restaurant, Li Cunrong spat. "This restaurant is quite unscrupulous. They even dare to scam the locals."
Han Bin smiled. "It's not the off-season."
"Brother Chen, you're from the economic investigation department. Can't you just deal with her?"
Chen Qian smiled bitterly. "This amount isn't enough to file a case."
"Fine, I'll call the police station." Li Cunrong took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Brother Peng."
"Cunrong, you're a busy man. Why did you call me?"
"I'm here for training."
"Why didn't you tell me you're here? I could have arranged it."
"I just got here today. I wanted to treat you to a meal in a few days, but now I don't even have money for tomorrow's meal," Li Cunrong joked.
"What's wrong?"
"I was scammed."
"Where did you get scammed?"
"A restaurant called Jinweitang on Jiuhua Road."
"Damn, this is my jurisdiction. Don't joke around. You're slapping me in the face."
"Brother Peng, I'm a joker."
"How about this. Come to the police station and explain everything. Don't worry, the monk can run, but the temple can't."
…
Forty minutes later, two police cars arrived at Jinweitang Restaurant.
The leader was a man in his early thirties. He was the chief of the local police station, Peng Yong.
A group of people in police uniforms entered the restaurant and immediately frightened the staff in the restaurant.
The lady boss ran over eagerly. "Comrades, what would you like to eat?"
"Have you seen people in police uniforms eating?" Peng Yong snorted. "Someone reported that your restaurant is involved in fraud."
"How could that be? There's nothing like that." The owner waved her hand, took a Chunghwa from the waiter, and threw it into Peng Yong's arms.
"Go away. Don't give me that." Peng Yong scolded and questioned, "Did three people come here to eat just now? It was clearly more than 400 yuan, but you blackmailed them more than 2,000 yuan."
"Yes, but they did spend more than 2,000 yuan. I didn't cheat or blackmail them."
"Take out the bill and menu for the three of them. Let me see."
The owner was stunned for a moment. When she saw the police officers around her, she went to the counter and took out the bill unwillingly.
Peng Yong took the bill and said coldly, "Ten oysters for 600 yuan, six conches for 480 yuan. If this isn't fraud, then what is?"
"Isn't the price of the menu controlled by the Bureau of Commodity Prices? This isn't considered fraud. "The owner argued.
"If the Bureau of Commodity Prices is controlled, why would they call the police?" Peng Yong waved his hand. "Bring all the staff in the restaurant back."
"Don't, don't, don't. Let's talk this out. This is the off-season. My restaurant's business isn't good. I really have no choice …" The owner was anxious.
"Don't worry. I will give you a chance to speak. Go to the police station and tell them. I will count every one of them and arrest all of them." Peng Yong was furious.
This restaurant was too daring. They even dared to cheat the police. If it was an ordinary citizen, they would have been cheated to death. If the ordinary citizen was forced into a corner and found a reporter to expose this incident, he would be in big trouble.
The owner was arrested and brought to the police station. When Han Bin and the other two showed their police badges, the owner did not dare to say anything and immediately compensated them.
If this was in the restaurant, the owner might also admit defeat with the identity of Han Bin and the other two.
However, Han Bin and the other two did not want to gamble. If the owner was a hooligan and shouted that the police wanted to dine and dash, Han Bin and the other two would be in a passive position.
The world was big, and there were all kinds of people. There was no lack of people who were willing to be cut into pieces and pull down the emperor.
Once they entered this place, no one would care about them even if they shouted themselves hoarse.
Nowadays, the internet was too advanced, and it was not easy to be a police officer.
Once the people from Jinwei Hall entered the police station, it would not be easy for them to come out. Especially the owner and the chef who blocked the door.
Peng Yong had his ways to deal with them.
To Han Bin and the other two, this was just a small interlude. Instead, it improved their relationship.
The next day, the official training began.
The physical fitness test was nothing to Han Bin.
Han Bin's physical fitness was among the best in the group.
It was even less of a problem to command in line. It had been engraved in his bones.
Han Bin scored full marks in the pistol training, ranking first.
There was no problem operating the computer.
These days of training were like a temporary vacation for Han Bin.
The only thing that made him a little tired was that he had to write training notes every day.
The days passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was January 17th.
The first phase of the 2020 police rank promotion training in Qindao City had ended.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, 82 police officers attended the promotion ceremony at the Qindao City Public Security Bureau.
The main leaders of the Municipal Bureau all attended the promotion ceremony.
The director of the Municipal Bureau, Director Miao, spoke on the stage.
Comrades,
The first phase of the police rank promotion training of the municipal public security organs has ended successfully today. First of all, on behalf of the Municipal Bureau Party Committee, I would like to extend a warm welcome and sincere greetings to the police officers who participated in this training!
"Clap clap …"
There was a burst of applause.
After the applause.
Director Miao continued, "At present, security, education, training, homicide cases, social stability, and other work are very busy. Under such circumstances, this period of training is organized, which fully shows that the Municipal Bureau Party Committee is supportive of the comrades in their work and considerate in their lives. Especially the grass-roots frontline police officers, who have left their stressful work posts and come here to recharge and rest. They must learn well in the limited time and really improve. Next, I have a few hopes and requirements for this training … "
Director Miao's speech was very good. Han Bin felt that he had to learn it in the future. Even if he didn't stay for a long time, he would still have the opportunity to speak on stage. If he panicked, it would be embarrassing.
After Director Miao finished speaking, the promotion ceremony officially began.
Han Bin also walked to the front stage in his neat police uniform. He replaced the one bar and one star on his shoulder with one bar and two stars, which also meant that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.
After the ceremony, the police officers left the Municipal Bureau one after another.
Han Bin also said goodbye to a few police officers he was familiar with during the training.
At this moment, Ding Xifeng waved from afar, gesturing for him to go over.
Han Bin greeted everyone, trotted over, and saluted. "Captain Ding."
Ding Xifeng patted Han Bin's shoulder. "Not bad, young man. You look more spirited in your police uniform."
Han Bin smiled. "Captain Ding, you're looking for me."
"You did a good job in the 101 case last time. I've already asked the Municipal Bureau for your credit. When Director Feng heard it, he was also full of praise for you."
"The 101 case was successfully solved mainly because of your good management." Han Bin flattered.
There was no one who didn't like to hear nice things.
Feng Baoguo had a good relationship with Han Weidong. Some of their old buddies would get together every year.
Han Bin did not show his relationship with Director Feng and his support. He just silently remembered it in his heart.
Ding Xifeng took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Han Bin. "You're a good candidate for criminal investigation. The pool in the branch is too small. Are you interested in joining the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Unit?"
Han Bin was stunned for a moment. He lit the cigarette for Ding Xifeng. "I'm a brick in the police force. I'll move wherever I'm needed. I'll absolutely obey the arrangements of the higher-ups."
"Sly," Ding Xifeng scolded with a smile.
Who was the higher-up? Zeng Ping or Ding Xifeng?
However, Ding Xifeng was still very satisfied with Han Bin's answer.
